NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Note 1. The Company and Basis of Presentation
The Company
Aviat Networks, Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our”) 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, 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 in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) and with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial information, and we have made estimates, assumptions and judgments affecting the amounts reported in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes, as discussed in greater detail below. Accordingly, the statements do not include all information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for annual consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of our 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 three and nine months April 2, 2021 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 the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 3, 2020.
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned and majority-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated.
We operate on a 52-week or 53-week year ending on the Friday closest to June 30. The three months ended April 2, 2021 consisted of 13 weeks while the three months ended April 3, 2020 consisted of 14 weeks. Fiscal year 2021 will be comprised of 52 weeks and will end on July 2, 2021. Fiscal year 2020 was comprised of 53 weeks and ended on July 3, 2020.
Stock Split
On April 7, 2021 we effected a two-for-one split in the form of a stock dividend to shareholders of record as of April 1, 2021. Common stock, Additional paid-in-capital, per share and equity award amounts for all periods presented have been retrospectively reclassified to reflect the two-for-one stock split in the form of a stock dividend.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of unaudited condensed 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 uncollectible receivables, inventory valuation, valuation allowances for deferred tax assets, uncertainties in income taxes, contingencies and recoverability of long-lived assets. The actual results that we experience may differ materially from our estimates.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
There have been no material changes in our significant accounting policies as of April 2, 2021 and for the nine months ended April 2, 2021, as compared to the significant accounting policies described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 3, 2020.
Accounting Standards Adopted
In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2018-15, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That is a Service Contract. This guidance aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. ASU 2018-15 became effective for us in our first quarter of fiscal 2021. We adopted this guidance during the first quarter of fiscal 2021. The adoption had no material impact on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement (ASU 2018-13). The update eliminates, adds, and modifies certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. We adopted this update during the first quarter of fiscal 2021. The adoption had no material impact on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848). This guidance provides optional guidance related to reference rate reform, which provides practical expedients for contract modifications and certain hedging relationships associated with the transition from reference rates that are expected to be discontinued. This guidance is applicable for our borrowing instruments, which use LIBOR as a reference rate, and was effective March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. We are currently evaluating the potential impact ASU 2020-04 will have on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740). This guidance simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles and also simplifies areas such as franchise taxes, step-up in tax basis goodwill, separate entity financial statements and interim recognition of enactment of tax laws and rate changes. ASU 2019-12 will be effective for us in our first quarter of fiscal 2022. We are currently evaluating the potential impact that adopting ASU 2019-12 will have on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (ASU 2016-13) and also issued subsequent amendments to the initial guidance: ASU 2018-19, ASU 2019-04, and ASU 2019-05 (collectively, Topic 326). Topic 326 requires measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets held. Topic 326 will be effective for us in our first quarter of fiscal 2024 and earlier adoption is permitted. We are evaluating the impact adopting Topic 326 will have on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

| | | | | | | | | | | |
(In thousands) | April 2, 2021 | | July 3, 2020 |
Finished products | $ | 15,347 | | | $ | 9,055 | |
| | | |
Raw materials and supplies | 6,547 | | | 4,942 | |
Total inventories | $ | 21,894 | | | $ | 13,997 | |
| | | |
Consigned inventories included within raw materials and supplies | $ | 4,846 | | | $ | 1,324 | |
We increased certain levels of inventory during the three and nine months ended April 2, 2021 primarily to mitigate supply chain constraints.
We currently rely on a few vendors for substantially all of our inventory purchases.
We record charges to adjust our inventory and customer service inventory due to excess and obsolete inventory resulting from lower sales forecasts, product transitioning, or discontinuance. The charges during the three and nine months April 2, 2021 and April 3, 2020 were classified in cost of product sales as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Three Months Ended | | Nine Months Ended |
(In thousands) | April 2, 2021 | | April 3, 2020 | | April 2, 2021 | | April 3, 2020 |
Excess and obsolete inventory charges (recovery) | $ | 270 | | | $ | (13) | | | $ | 467 | | | $ | 156 | |
Customer service inventory write-downs | 293 | | | 250 | | | 681 | | | 595 | |
Total inventory charges | $ | 563 | | | $ | 237 | | | $ | 1,148 | | | $ | 751 | |
Assets Held for Sale
We consider properties to be Assets held for sale when management approves and commits to a plan to dispose of a property or group of properties. The property held for sale prior to the sale date is separately presented on the balance sheet as Assets held for sale.
During the second quarter of fiscal 2021 management initiated the sale of our facility located in the United Kingdom. We expect to complete the sale within twelve months. The carrying value of this asset held for sale as of April 2, 2021 of $2.2 million which represents the lower of 1) the carrying value or 2) fair value of the assets, less estimated costs to sell the assets. We performed an analysis and determined the estimated fair value of the assets, less estimated selling costs, is higher than the carrying value of the assets. As a result, no impairment charge was recorded in our statement of operations.

Note 3. Fair Value Measurements of Assets and Liabilities
Fair value is defined 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 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 market-based inputs or observable inputs that are corroborated by market data; and
•Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
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 April 2, 2021 and July 3, 2020 were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| April 2, 2021 | | July 3, 2020 | | Valuation Inputs |

Other accrued expenses: | | | | | | | | | |
Foreign exchange forward contracts | $ | — | | | $ | — | | | $ | 14 | | | $ | 14 | | | Level 2 |
We classify items within Level 1 if quoted prices are available in active markets. Our Level 1 items mainly are money market funds. As of April 2, 2021 and July 3, 2020, these money market funds were valued at $1.00 net asset value per share.
We classify items in Level 2 if the observable inputs to quoted market prices, benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, or alternative pricing sources are available with reasonable levels of price transparency. Our bank certificates of deposit and foreign exchange forward contracts are classified within Level 2.
As of April 2, 2021 and July 3, 2020, we did not have any recurring assets or liabilities that were valued using significant unobservable inputs.
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 nine months of fiscal 2021 and 2020, we had no transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy of our assets or liabilities measured at fair value.
Note 4. Leases
The Company has facilities under non-cancelable operating lease agreements. These leases have varying terms that range from one to 20 years and contain leasehold improvement incentives, rent holidays and escalation clauses.
We determine if an arrangement contains a lease at inception. These operating leases are included in "Right of use assets" on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets and represent our right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. Our obligations to make lease payments are included in "Short-term lease liabilities" and "Long-term lease liabilities" on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. We did not enter into any finance leases during the nine months ended April 2, 2021.
The following summarizes our lease costs (in thousands):

Note 5. Credit Facility and Debt
On May 4, 2020, we entered into Amendment No. 3 to Third Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement with Silicon Valley Bank (the “SVB Credit Facility”) which extended the expiration date to June 28, 2021. The SVB Credit Facility provides for a $25.0 million accounts receivable formula-based revolving credit facility that can be borrowed by our U.S. company, with a $25.0 million sublimit that can be borrowed by our Singapore subsidiary. Loans may be advanced under the SVB Credit Facility based on a borrowing base equal to a specified percentage of the value of eligible accounts of the borrowers under the SVB Credit Facility. The borrowing base is subject to certain eligibility criteria. Availability under the accounts receivable formula based revolving credit facility can also be utilized to issue letters of credit with a $12.0 million sublimit. We may prepay loans under the SVB Credit Facility in whole or in part at any time without premium or penalty. As of April 2, 2021, available credit under the SVB Credit Facility was $23.5 million, reflecting the lower available limit of $25.0 million less outstanding letters of credit of $1.5 million. As of July 3, 2020, our outstanding debt balance under the SVB Credit Facility, classified as a current liability, was $9.0 million, and the interest rate was 3.75%. We repaid the outstanding debt balance in July 2020.
The SVB Credit Facility carries an interest rate computed, at our option, based on either (i) at the prime rate reported in the Wall Street Journal plus a spread of 0.50% to 1.50%, with such spread determined based on our adjusted quick ratio; or (ii) if we satisfy a minimum adjusted quick ratio, a LIBOR rate determined in accordance with the SVB Credit Facility, plus a spread of 2.75%. Any outstanding Singapore subsidiary borrowed loans shall bear interest at an additional 2.00% above the applicable prime or LIBOR rate. During the first nine months of fiscal 2021, the weighted-average interest rate on our outstanding loan was 3.75%.
The SVB Credit Facility contains quarterly financial covenants including minimum adjusted quick ratio and minimum profitability (EBITDA) requirements. In the event our adjusted quick ratio falls below a certain level, cash received in our accounts with Silicon Valley Bank may be directly applied to reduce outstanding obligations under the SVB Credit Facility. The SVB Credit Facility also imposes certain restrictions on our ability to dispose of assets, permit a change in control, merge or consolidate, make acquisitions, incur indebtedness, grant liens, make investments, make certain restricted payments, and enter into transactions with affiliates under certain circumstances. Certain of our assets, including accounts receivable, inventory, and equipment, are pledged as collateral for the SVB Credit Facility. Upon an event of default, outstanding obligations would be immediately due and payable. Under certain circumstances, a default interest rate will apply on all obligations during the existence of an event of default at a per annum rate of interest equal to 5.00% above the applicable interest rate. As of April 2, 2021, we were in compliance with the quarterly financial covenants contained in the SVB Credit Facility, as amended.
We also obtained an uncommitted short-term line of credit of $0.4 million from a bank in New Zealand to support the operations of our New Zealand subsidiary. This line of credit provides for up to $0.3 million in short-term advances at various interest rates, all of which was available as of April 2, 2021 and July 3, 2020. The line of credit also provides for the issuance of standby letters of credit and company credit cards, of which $0.1 million was outstanding as of April 2, 2021 and July 3, 2020. This line of credit may be terminated upon notice, is reviewed annually for renewal or modification, and is supported by a corporate guarantee.
Note 6. Revenue Recognition

The following table provides information about receivables and liabilities from contracts with customers (in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | April 2, 2021 | | July 3, 2020 |
Contract Assets | | | | |
Accounts receivable, net | | $ | 47,564 | | | $ | 44,661 | |
Unbilled receivables | | $ | 37,862 | | | $ | 28,085 | |

Contract Liabilities | | | | |
Advance payments and unearned revenue | | $ | 26,954 | | | $ | 21,872 | |
Unearned revenue, long-term | | $ | 9,021 | | | $ | 8,142 | |
Significant changes in contract balances may arise as a result of recognition over time for services, transfer of control for equipment, and periodic payments (both in arrears and in advance).
From time to time, we may experience unforeseen events that could result in a change to the scope or price associated with an arrangement. When such events occur, we update the transaction price and measure of progress for the performance obligation and recognize the change as a cumulative catch-up to revenue. Because of the nature and type of contracts we engage in, the timeframe to completion and satisfaction of current and future performance obligations can shift; however, this will have no impact on our future obligation to bill and collect.
As of April 2, 2021, we had $36 million in advance payments and unearned revenue and long-term unearned revenue, of which approximately 27% is expected to be recognized as revenue in the remainder of fiscal 2021 and the balance thereafter. During the three and nine months ended April 2, 2021 we recognized $3.6 million and $19.4 million, respectively, of revenue which was included in advance payments and unearned revenue at July 3, 2020.
Remaining Performance Obligations
The aggregate amount of transaction price allocated to our unsatisfied (or partially unsatisfied) performance obligations was approximately $73 million at April 2, 2021. Of this amount, we expect to recognize approximately 60% as revenue during the next 12 months, with the remaining amount to be recognized as revenue within two to five years.
Note 7. 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. Our financial performance is regularly reviewed by our chief operating decision maker who is our chief executive officer.
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 three and nine months April 2, 2021 and April 3, 2020 was as follows:

Note 8. Equity
Stock Repurchase Program
In May 2018, our board of directors approved a stock repurchase program, which does not have an expiration date, for the repurchase of up to $7.5 million of our common stock.
As of April 2, 2021, $3.0 million remained available under our stock repurchase program. The repurchase program was suspended temporarily from February 2020 to February 2021. During the third quarter of fiscal 2021, our Board of Directors voted to re-instate our stock repurchase program and repurchased 8,300 shares of our common stock in the open market for an aggregate purchase price, including commissions, of $0.5 million. These shares were recorded as treasury stock and we do not anticipate retiring them. Treasury stock did not participate in the two-for-one stock split in the form of a stock dividend paid on April 7, 2021.
Stock Incentive Programs
At April 2, 2021, we had one stock incentive plan for our employees and non-employee directors, the 2018 Incentive Plan (the “2018 Plan”). The 2018 Plan 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.
Under the 2018 Plan, option exercise prices are equal to the fair market value of our common stock on the date the options are granted using our closing stock price. After vesting, options generally may be exercised within seven years after the date of grant.
Restricted stock units are not transferable until vested and the restrictions lapse upon the achievement of continued employment or service over a specified time period. Restricted stock units issued to employees generally vest three years from the date of grant (three-year cliff or annually over three years). Restricted stock units issued to non-executive board members annually generally vest on the day before the annual stockholders’ meeting.
Vesting of performance share awards and units is subject to the achievement of predetermined financial performance criteria and continued employment through the end of the applicable period. Market-based stock units vest upon meeting certain predetermined share price performance criteria and continued employment through the end of the applicable period.
During the nine months ended April 2, 2021, we granted 116,396 restricted stock units, 76,706 performance restricted stock units, 72,000 market-based stock units and 243,810 stock options to purchase shares of our common stock. These amounts reflect the two-for-one stock split in the form of a stock dividend paid on April 7, 2021.
Total compensation expense for share-based awards included in our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations was as follows:

Total share-based compensation expense | $ | 765 | | | $ | 507 | | | $ | 2,154 | | | $ | 1,315 | |
As of April 2, 2021, there was approximately $1.2 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested stock options granted which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.9 years. As of April 2, 2021, there was $3.9 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested stock awards which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.7 years.
On September 6, 2016, our Board of Directors authorized and declared a dividend distribution of one right (a “Right”) for each outstanding share of our common stock, par value $0.01 per share, to our stockholders of record as of the close of business on September 16, 2016 (the “Record Date”). Each Right entitles the registered holder to purchase from the Company one one-thousandth of a share of Series A Participating Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Preferred Shares”), of the Company at an exercise price of $35.00 per one one-thousandth of a Preferred Share, subject to adjustment. Until the rights become exercisable, they will not be evidenced by separate certificates and will trade automatically with shares of the Company’s common stock. The Rights have a de minimis fair value. The complete terms of the Rights are set forth in a Tax Benefit Preservation Plan (the “Plan”), dated as of September 6, 2016, between the Company and Computershare Inc., as rights agent. By adopting the Plan, we are helping to preserve the value of certain deferred tax benefits, including those generated by net operating losses (collectively, the “Tax Benefits”), which could be lost in the event of an “ownership change” as defined under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The Plan reduces the likelihood that changes in our investor base have the unintended effect of limiting our use of the Tax Benefits. The Plan expired on September 6, 2019. On March 3, 2020, our Board of Directors reauthorized the Plan at the same term with a Record Date of March 13, 2020. On August 27, 2020, we entered into the Amended and Restated Tax Benefit Preservation Plan (the “Amended and Restated Plan”) with Computershare Inc. as Rights Agent.
The Amended and Restated Plan, reauthorized by our Board of Directors on March 3, 2020, was approved by our shareholders at our Annual Shareholders’ Meeting held on November 11, 2020.

As of April 2, 2021, the accrual balance of $2.0 million was in short-term restructuring liabilities on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Fiscal 2021 Plan
During the third quarter of fiscal 2021, our Board of Directors approved a restructuring plan (the “Fiscal 2021 Plan”) in order to continue to reduce operating costs and improve profitability as part of our transformational initiative to optimize our business model and increase efficiencies. The Fiscal 2021 Plan is anticipated to entail a reduction in force of approximately 30 employees to be implemented through the second quarter of fiscal year 2022, with a certain number of positions being consolidated and/or relocated.
Q4 2020 Plan
During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020, our Board of Directors approved a restructuring plan (the “Q4 2020 Plan”) in order to continue to reduce our operating costs and improve profitability to optimize our business model and increase efficiencies. The Q4 2020 Plan is being implemented starting with our fourth fiscal quarter of 2020 through the second fiscal quarter of 2021. Payments related to the accrued restructuring liability balance for this plan are expected to be fully paid in fiscal 2021.
Q3 2020 Plan
During the third quarter of fiscal 2020, our Board of Directors approved a restructuring plan (the “Q3 2020 Plan”) in order to reduce our operating costs and improve profitability to optimize our business model and increase efficiencies. Payments related to the accrued restructuring liability balance for this plan are expected to be fully paid in fiscal 2021.
Fiscal 2020 Plan
During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019, our Board of Directors approved a restructuring plan (the “Fiscal 2020 Plan”) to primarily consolidate product development, right size our resources to support our international business and other support functions. Payments related to the accrued restructuring liability balance for this plan are expected to be fully paid in fiscal 2021.
Fiscal 2018-2019 Plan
During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018, our Board of Directors approved a restructuring plan (the “Fiscal 2018-2019 Plan”) to consolidate back-office support functions and align resources by geography to lower our expense structure. We completed the restructuring activities under the Fiscal 2018-2019 Plan at the end of fiscal 2019. Payments related to the accrued restructuring liability balance for this plan are expected to be fully paid in fiscal 2021.
Fiscal 2015-2016 Plan
In January 2018, we reached a settlement with a certain foreign government for grant liabilities which allowed us to reduce our estimated payments relating to prior years’ restructuring plan by $0.3 million. During the third quarter of fiscal 2015, with the intent to bring our operational cost structure in line with the changing dynamics of the microwave radio and telecommunications markets, we initiated a restructuring plan (the “Fiscal 2015-2016 Plan”) to lower fixed overhead costs and operating expenses and to preserve cash flow. Activities under the Fiscal 2015-2016 Plan primarily included reductions in workforce across the Company, but primarily in operations outside the United States. We completed the restructuring activities under the Fiscal 2015-2016 Plan as of July 1, 2016. Payments related to the accrued restructuring liability balance for this plan are expected to be paid in fiscal 2021.
Note 10. Income Taxes
Our effective tax rate varies from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to results of foreign operations that are subject to income taxes at different statutory rates, certain jurisdictions where we cannot recognize tax benefit on current losses, and tax benefit from the release of valuation allowance on our U.S. federal and state deferred tax assets. During interim periods, we accrue tax expenses for jurisdictions that are anticipated to be profitable for fiscal 2021.
The determination of our income taxes for the nine months ended April 2, 2021 and April 3, 2020 was based on our estimated annual effective tax rate adjusted for losses in certain jurisdictions for which no tax benefit can be recognized. Our tax benefit for the nine months ended April 2, 2021 was primarily due to the release of valuation allowance on our U.S. federal and state deferred tax assets. The tax expense for the nine months ended April 3, 2020 was primarily due to tax expense related to profitable subsidiaries and a $0.4 million increase in our reserves for uncertain tax positions.
At each reporting date, management considers new evidence, both positive and negative, that could affect its view of the future realization of deferred tax assets on a more likely than not basis. During the third quarter of fiscal 2021, we recorded a valuation allowance release of $92.2 million as a discrete item based on management’s reassessment of the amount of its U.S. federal and state deferred tax assets that are more likely than not to be realized, primarily as a result of increases in U.S. profitability in the current period and expectations of continued profitability in future periods. In performing our analysis, we used the most updated plans and estimates that we currently use to manage the underlying business and calculated the utilization of our deferred tax assets. We continue to maintain a valuation allowance of $1.4 million on certain U.S. federal and state deferred tax assets that we believe is not more likely than not to be realized in future periods.
We entered into a tax sharing agreement with Harris Corporation (“Harris”) effective on January 26, 2007, the acquisition date of Stratex Networks, Inc. The tax sharing agreement addresses, among other things, the settlement process associated with pre-merger tax liabilities and tax attributes that were attributable to the Microwave Communication Division when it was a division of Harris. There have been no settlement payments recorded since the acquisition date. To the extent we become more profitable in the U.S. in the future and utilize these tax attributes, we may be required to make certain payments to Harris which is currently not estimable.
We have a number of open income tax audits covering various tax years, which vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. Our major tax jurisdictions that are open and subject to potential audits include the U.S., Singapore, Nigeria, Saudi Arabia and the Ivory Coast. The earliest years for these jurisdictions are as follows: U.S. - 2003; Singapore - 2015; Nigeria - 2006; Saudi Arabia - 2019, and Ivory Coast - 2017.
We account for interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as part of our provision for federal, foreign and state income taxes. Such interest expense was not material for the three and nine months April 2, 2021 and April 3, 2020.
On March 27, 2020, the U.S. enacted the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act which provided certain tax relief measures including, but not limited to, (1) a five-year net operating loss carryback, (2) changes in the deduction of interest, (3) acceleration of alternative minimum tax credit (“AMT”) refunds, and (4) a technical correction to allow accelerated deductions for qualified improvement property. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act repealed the corporate AMT credit and allowed taxpayers to claim any unused AMT credit over four tax years beginning in tax year 2018. The CARES Act allows for acceleration of the refundable AMT credit up to 100% of the AMT credit to be refunded in tax year 2018. During the third quarter of 2021, we received a tax refund of $3.5 million from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service primarily related to our refundable alternative minimum tax credit claim under the CARES Act and recorded minimal tax benefit related to interest as a discrete item.
During the second quarter of 2021, we effectively settled a tax audit with the Financial Administration of the Republic of Slovenia for fiscal years 2016 to 2018 and recorded $0.4 million of tax expense related to the denial of research and development tax relief as a discrete item. During the second quarter of 2021, we effectively settled a tax audit with the General Authority of Zakat and Tax in Saudi Arabia for fiscal years 2016 to 2018 and recorded minimal tax benefit related to the release of previously recorded ASC 740-10 reserve as a discrete item.
During the first quarter of 2021, we received a tax refund of $1.2 million from the Federal Revenue of Brazil related to our withholding tax refund claim and recorded minimal tax expense related to interest as a discrete item.
We account for interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as part of our provision for federal, foreign and state income taxes. Such interest expense was not material for the three and nine months April 2, 2021 and April 3, 2020.
On December 27, 2020, the US enacted the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021 (CAA) which extended and expanded certain tax relief measures created by the CARES Act, including, but not limited to, (1) second round of Payroll Protection Program loans, and (2) the Employer Retention Credit for 2021.
On March 11, 2021, the U.S. enacted the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (ARPA) which expands Section 162(m) to cover the next five most highly compensated employees for the taxable year, in addition to the “covered employees” effective for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2026. We continue to examine the elements of the CARES Act, CAA, and ARPA and the impact they may have on our future business.
Note 11. Net Income (Loss) Per Share of Common Stock
Net income (loss) per share is computed using the two-class method, by dividing net income attributable to us by the weighted-average number of shares of our outstanding common stock and participating securities outstanding. Our restricted shares contain rights to receive non-forfeitable dividends and therefore are considered to be participating securities and included in the calculations of net income per basic and diluted common share. Undistributed losses are not allocated to unvested restricted shares as the unvested restricted shares are not contractually obligated to share our losses. The impact on earnings per share of the participating securities under the two-class method was immaterial.
On April 7, 2021 we effected a two-for-one split in the form of a stock dividend to shareholders of record as of April 1, 2021. Common stock, Additional paid-in-capital, per share and equity award amounts for all periods presented have been retrospectively reclassified to reflect the two-for-one stock split in the form of a stock dividend. The following table presents the computation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per share:

Note 12. Commitments and Contingencies
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 currently do not believe that we have any future liability under these agreements. As of April 2, 2021, we had outstanding purchase obligations with our suppliers or contract manufacturers of $31.4 million. In addition, we had contractual obligations of approximately $1.5 million associated with software licenses as of April 2, 2021.
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 April 2, 2021, 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 April 2, 2021, we had commercial commitments of $57.8 million outstanding that were not recorded on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. We do not believe, based on historical experience and information currently available, that it is probable that any significant amounts will be required to be paid on these performance guarantees in the future.
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 products infringe the intellectual property rights of a third party. As of April 2, 2021, we have not received any notice that any customer is subject to an infringement claim arising from the use of our products; we have not received any request to defend any customers from infringement claims arising from the use of our 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 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 April 2, 2021, we had not recorded any liabilities related to these indemnifications.
Legal Proceedings
We are subject from time to time to disputes with customers concerning our products and services. In May 2016, we received notification of a claim for damages from a customer alleging that certain of our products were defective which we settled with an immaterial amount during the third quarter of 2021.
From time to time, we may be involved in various other legal claims and litigation that arise in the normal course of our operations. We are aggressively defending all current litigation matters. Although there can be no assurances and the outcome of these matters is currently not determinable, we currently believe that none of these claims or proceedings are likely to have a material adverse effect on our financial position. We expect to defend each of these disputes vigorously. There are many uncertainties associated with any litigation and these actions or other third-party claims against us may cause us to incur costly litigation and/or substantial settlement charges. As a result, our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows could be adversely affected. The actual liability in any such matters may be materially different from our estimates, if any.
We record accruals for our outstanding legal proceedings, investigations or claims when it is probable that a liability will be incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. We evaluate, at least on a quarterly basis, developments in legal proceedings, investigations or claims that could affect the amount of any accrual, as well as any developments that would result in a loss contingency to become both probable and reasonably estimable. We have not recorded any accrual for loss contingencies associated with such legal claims or litigation discussed above.
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 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements; and (ii) the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Disclosure in the Notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated 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.
In March 2016, an enforcement action by the Indian Department of Revenue, Ministry of Finance was brought against our subsidiary Aviat Networks (India) Private Limited (“Aviat India”) relating to the non-realization of intercompany receivables and non-payment of intercompany payables, which originated from 1999 to 2012, within the time frames dictated by the Indian regulations under the Foreign Exchange Management Act. In November 2017, the Indian Department of Revenue, Ministry of Finance also initiated a similar action against Telsima Communications Private Limited (“Telsima India”), a subsidiary of the Company, relating to the non-realization of intercompany receivables and non-payment of intercompany payables which originated from the period prior to our acquisition of Telsima India in February 2009. In September 2019, our directors of Aviat India appeared before the Ministry of Finance Enforcement Directorate. No settlement offers were discussed at the meeting and the matter is still ongoing with no subsequent hearing date currently scheduled. We have accrued an immaterial amount representing the estimated probable loss for which we would settle the matter. We currently cannot form an estimate of the range of loss in excess of our amounts already accrued. If the outcome of this matter is greater than the current immaterial amount accrued, we intend to dispute it vigorously.
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 unaudited condensed consolidated statement 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 unaudited condensed 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.
COVID-19
In March 2020, the World Health Organization characterized a recent pandemic of respiratory illness caused by novel coronavirus disease, known as COVID-19, as a pandemic. The pandemic has resulted in government authorities implementing numerous measures to try to contain the virus, such as travel bans and restrictions, quarantines, shelter-in-place or stay-at-home orders, and business shutdowns. Our global operations expose us to risks associated with public health crises and epidemics/pandemics, such as the COVID-19 pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic may have an impact on our operations, supply chains and distribution systems and increase our expenses, including as a result of impacts associated with preventive and precautionary measures that we, other businesses and governments are taking or requiring. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts our business, prospects and results of operations will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with certainty, including, but not limited to, the duration and spread of the pandemic, its severity, the actions to contain the virus or treat its impact, and how quickly and to what extent normal economic and operating activities can resume. Management is actively monitoring the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our financial condition, liquidity, operations, suppliers, industry, and workforce. Additionally we have undertaken measures to protect our employees, suppliers, and customers, including encouraging, and in many cases requiring employees to work remotely as appropriate. We have also modified some of our controls procedures but those changes have not been significant.
Our first priority remains the health and safety of our employees and their families. Employees whose tasks can be done off-site have been instructed to work from home. Our manufacturing sites support essential businesses and remain operational. We are maintaining social distancing for workers on-site and have enhanced cleaning protocols and usage of personal protective equipment, where appropriate.
The impact to our supply chain lead times and ability to fulfill orders was minimal for the three and nine months ended April 2, 2021. However, depending on pandemic-related factors like the uncertain duration of temporary manufacturing restrictions as well as our ability to perform field services during shelter in place orders, we could experience constraints and delays in fulfilling customer orders in future periods. We continue to monitor, assess and adapt to the situation and prepare for implications to our business, supply chain and customer demand. We expect these challenges to continue until business and economic activities return to more normal levels. The financial results for the three and nine months ended April 2, 2021 reflect some of the reduced activity experienced during the period in various locations around the world and are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year.
Note 13. Subsequent Event
On April 13, 2021, we filed a registration statement on Form S-3 with the SEC using a “shelf” registration process. Once the shelf registration statement is declared effective by the SEC, we will be able to, from time to time, offer and sell, either individually or in combination, in one or more offerings, up to a total dollar amount of $200 million of any combination of the securities described in the shelf registration statement or a related prospectus supplement.

Overview of Business; Operating Environment and Key Factors Impacting Fiscal 2021 and 2020 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 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. In the discussion herein, our fiscal year ending July 2, 2021 is referred to as “fiscal 2021” or “2021” and our fiscal year ended July 3, 2020 is referred to as “fiscal 2020” or “2020.”
On April 7, 2021, we effected a two-for-one split in the form of a stock dividend to shareholders of record as of April 1, 2021.
Overview
We anticipate growth in revenue in fiscal 2021. We continue to have a backlog entering the final quarter of fiscal 2021 and we anticipate continuing our strong momentum across all verticals. We have made inroads into the U.S. rural broadband and wireless internet service provider areas and there is now further evidence of investment to support 5G deployments with our U.S. service provider customers and we have returned to growth for international.
In March 2020, the World Health Organization characterized the current respiratory illness caused by novel coronavirus disease, known as COVID-19, as a pandemic. The pandemic has resulted in government authorities implementing numerous measures to try to contain the virus, such as travel bans and restrictions, quarantines, shelter-in-place or stay-at-home orders, and business shutdowns. Our global operations expose us to risks associated with public health crises and epidemics/pandemics, such as the COVID-19 pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic has had and is likely to continue to have an impact on our operations, supply chains and distribution systems. The COVID-19 pandemic has led to an increase in our expenses, including as a result of impacts associated with preventive and precautionary measures that we, other businesses and governments are taking or requiring. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts our business, prospects and results of operations will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with certainty, including, but not limited to, the duration and spread of the pandemic, its severity, the actions to contain the virus or treat its impact, including the ongoing vaccination efforts and how quickly and to what extent normal economic and
operating activities can resume. Management is actively monitoring the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our financial condition, liquidity, operations, suppliers, industry, and workforce.
Our first priority remains the health and safety of our employees and their families. Employees whose tasks can be done offsite have been instructed to work from home. Our manufacturing sites remain operational, and we are maintaining social distancing and have enhanced cleaning protocols and usage of personal protective equipment, where appropriate.
The impact to our supply chain lead times and ability to fulfill orders was minimal for the three and nine months ended April 2, 2021. However, depending on pandemic-related factors like the uncertain duration of temporary manufacturing restrictions as well as our ability to perform field services during shelter in place orders, we could experience constraints and delays in fulfilling customer orders in future periods. We are monitoring, assessing and adapting to the situation and preparing for possible implications to our business, supply chain and customer demand. We expect the potential for these challenges to continue until business and economic activities return to more normal levels. The financial results for the three and nine months ended April 2, 2021 reflect some of the reduced activity experienced during the period in various locations around the world and are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year.
Operations Review
The market for mobile backhaul continued to be our primary addressable market segment globally in the first nine months of fiscal 2021. In North America, we supported 5G and long-term evolution (“LTE”) deployments of our mobile operator customers, public safety network deployments for state and local governments, and private network implementations for utilities and other customers. In international markets, 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 LTE deployments. Our position continues to be to support our customers for 5G and 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 in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on August 27, 2020, 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.
Revenue
We manage our sales activities primarily on a geographic basis in North America and three international geographic regions: (1) Africa and the Middle East, (2) Europe and Russia, and (3) Latin America and Asia Pacific. Revenue by region for the three and nine months April 2, 2021 and April 3, 2020 and the related changes were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Three Months Ended | | Nine Months Ended |
(In thousands, except percentages) | April 2, 2021 | | April 3, 2020 | | $ Change | | % Change | | April 2, 2021 | | April 3, 2020 | | $ Change | | % Change |
North America | $ | 42,021 | | | $ | 37,250 | | | $ | 4,771 | | | 12.8 | % | | $ | 136,678 | | | $ | 113,489 | | | $ | 23,189 | | | 20.4 | % |
Africa and the Middle East | 9,904 | | | 9,230 | | | 674 | | | 7.3 | % | | 31,138 | | | 28,679 | | | 2,459 | | | 8.6 | % |
Europe and Russia | 3,280 | | | 1,903 | | | 1,377 | | | 72.4 | % | | 7,053 | | | 7,728 | | | (675) | | | (8.7) | % |
Latin America and Asia Pacific | 11,199 | | | 12,996 | | | (1,797) | | | (13.8) | % | | 28,356 | | | 26,094 | | | 2,262 | | | 8.7 | % |
Total revenue | $ | 66,404 | | | $ | 61,379 | | | $ | 5,025 | | | 8.2 | % | | $ | 203,225 | | | $ | 175,990 | | | $ | 27,235 | | | 15.5 | % |
Our revenue in North America increased by $4.8 million, or 12.8%, during the third quarter of fiscal 2021 compared with the same period of fiscal 2020. Revenue in North America increased by $23.2 million, or 20.4%, during the first nine months of fiscal 2021 compared with the same period of fiscal 2020. The increase in North America revenue during the three and nine months of fiscal 2021 was primarily due to an increase in the number of private network projects.
Our revenue in Africa and the Middle East increased by $0.7 million or 7.3% during the third quarter of fiscal 2021 compared with the same period of fiscal 2020. Revenue in Africa and the Middle East increased by $2.5 million, or 8.6%, during the first nine months of fiscal 2021 compared with the same period of fiscal 2020. This increase in revenue during the three and nine months of fiscal 2021 was primarily due to increased sales to mobile operators in the region.
Revenue in Europe and Russia increased by $1.4 million, or 72.4%, for the third quarter of fiscal 2021 compared with the same period of fiscal 2020. Revenue in Europe and Russia decreased by $0.7 million, or 8.7%, during the first nine months of fiscal 2021 compared with the same period of fiscal 2020. This increase and decrease during the three and nine months of fiscal 2021 was primarily due to level of sales to mobile operators in the region.
Revenue in Latin America and Asia Pacific decreased by $1.8 million, or 13.8%, during the third quarter of fiscal 2021 compared with the same period of fiscal 2020. Revenue in Latin America and Asia Pacific increased by $2.3 million, or 8.7%, during the first nine months of fiscal 2021 compared with the same period of fiscal 2020. The decrease in the third quarter was from lower sales to mobile operator customers. The increase during the nine months of fiscal 2021 was primarily due to increased sales to mobile operators in the region during the first half of fiscal 2021.

Gross margin for the first nine months of fiscal 2021 increased by $13.9 million, or 22.1%. For the three and nine months of fiscal 2021, gross margin improved over the same period in fiscal 2020 primarily due to higher volume of Private Network business and increased sales through Aviat Store which serves primarily the Rural Broadband space.
Both product and service margin as a percentage of product and service revenue increased in the third quarter of fiscal 2021 and in the first nine months of fiscal 2021 compared with the same period of fiscal 2020 primarily due to higher level of Private Network business and increased sales through Aviat Store.

Our research and development expenses increased by $0.4 million and $0.5 million, or 8.2% and 3.1%, in the three and nine months, respectively of fiscal 2021 compared with the same periods of fiscal 2020 primarily due to increased product development activities.

Our selling and administrative expenses decreased by $2.8 million, or 6.3%, for the nine months of fiscal 2021 compared with the same period in fiscal 2020. The decreases for the three and nine months of fiscal 2021 compared to comparable periods of fiscal 2020 were primarily due to lower travel expenses and restructuring savings offset in part by higher sales-related expenses.

In the third quarter and the first nine months of fiscal 2021, we recognized restructuring charges of $1.2 million primarily related to the restructuring plan (the “Fiscal 2021 Plan”) approved by our Board of Directors. The Fiscal 2021 Plan is anticipated to entail a reduction in force of approximately 30 employees to be implemented through the second quarter of fiscal year 2022, with a certain number of positions being consolidated and/or relocated.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Interest income reflected interest earned on our cash equivalents, which were comprised of money market funds and bank certificates of deposit.
Interest expense was primarily related to interest associated with borrowings from Silicon Valley Bank (“SVB Credit Facility”).

We estimate our annual effective tax rate at the end of each quarterly period, and we record the tax effect of certain discrete items in the interim period in which they occur, including changes in judgment about uncertain tax positions and deferred tax valuation allowances.
The tax benefit for the first nine months of fiscal 2021 was primarily due to the release of valuation allowance on U.S. federal and state deferred tax assets. The tax expense for the first nine months of fiscal 2020 was primarily related to profitable subsidiaries and a $0.4 million increase in our reserves for uncertain tax positions.
At each reporting date, management considers new evidence, both positive and negative, that could affect its view of the future realization of deferred tax assets on a more likely than not basis. During the third quarter of fiscal 2021, we recorded a valuation allowance release of $92.2 million as a discrete item based on management’s reassessment of the
amount of its U.S. federal and state deferred tax assets that are more likely than not to be realized, primarily as a result of increases in U.S. profitability in the current period and expectations of continued profitability in future periods. In performing our analysis, we used the most updated plans and estimates that we currently use to manage the underlying business and calculated the utilization of our deferred tax assets. We continue to maintain a valuation allowance of $1.4 million on certain U.S. federal and state deferred tax assets that we believe is not more likely than not to be realized in future periods.
During the third quarter of 2021, we received a tax refund of $3.5 million from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service primarily related to our refundable alternative minimum tax credit claim and recorded minimal tax benefit related to interest as a discrete item.
During the second quarter of 2021, we effectively settled a tax audit with the Financial Administration of the Republic of Slovenia for fiscal years 2016 to 2018 and recorded $0.4 million of tax expense related to the denial of research and development tax relief as a discrete item. During the second quarter of 2021, we effectively settled a tax audit with the General Authority of Zakat and Tax in Saudi Arabia for fiscal years 2016 to 2018 and recorded minimal tax benefit related to the release of previously recorded ASC 740-10 reserve as a discrete item.
During the first quarter of 2021, we received a tax refund of $1.2 million from the Federal Revenue of Brazil related to our withholding tax refund claim and recorded minimal tax expense related to interest as a discrete item.
Liquidity, Capital Resources, and Financial Strategies
Sources of Cash
As of April 2, 2021, our total cash and cash equivalents were $45.8 million. Approximately $25.4 million, or 55.3%, was held in the United States. The remaining balance of $20.5 million, or 44.7%, was held by entities outside the United States. Of the amount of cash and cash equivalents held by our foreign subsidiaries on April 2, 2021, $19.1 million was held in jurisdictions where our undistributed earnings are indefinitely reinvested, and if repatriated, would be subject to foreign withholding taxes.
Operating Activities
Cash provided by or used in operating activities is presented as net income adjusted for non-cash items and changes in operating assets and liabilities. Net cash provided by operating activities was $14.2 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2021, compared to $14.6 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2020; this difference was primarily related to a net change in Accounts receivable and partially offset by the net change in Net income. Net cash provided by noncash items was $(81.8) million for the first nine months of 2021. The net changes in operating assets and liabilities resulted in a net use of cash of $11.3 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2021, compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $7.4 million for the same period in fiscal 2020.
Changes in operating assets and liabilities resulted in a net use of cash for the first nine months of fiscal 2021 primarily related to Accounts receivable that fluctuate from period to period, depending on the amount, timing of sales and billing activities and cash collections; and an increase in certain levels of inventories primarily to mitigate supply chain constraints. The use of cash from assets and liabilities was partially offset by customer Advance payments and unearned revenue; and the timing of payments of Accounts payable.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $2.4 million and $3.9 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2021 and 2020, respectively, which consisted of capital expenditures. During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2021, we expect to spend approximately $1 million to $2 million for capital expenditures, primarily on equipment for development and manufacturing of new products and IT infrastructure.
Financing Activities
Financing cash flows consist primarily of proceeds from and repayments of short-term debt, repurchase of stock and proceeds from the sale of shares of common stock through employee equity plans. Net cash used in financing activities was $7.7 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2021, primarily due to $9.0 million repayment of short-term debt partially offset by cash proceeds from the issuance of common stock under employee stock plans of $1.9 million. Net cash used in
financing activities was $2.5 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2020, primarily due to repurchases of common stock of $1.8 million and the payments for taxes related to net settlement of equity awards of $0.8 million.
As of April 2, 2021, our principal sources of liquidity consisted of $45.8 million in cash and cash equivalents; $23.5 million of available credit under our $25.0 million SVB Credit Facility, which matures on June 28, 2021, and future collections of receivables from customers. We regularly require letters of credit from certain customers, and, 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 and credit facilities.
We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents, the available line of credit under the SVB Credit Facility and future cash collections from customers will be sufficient to provide for our anticipated requirements for working capital and capital expenditures for at least the next 12 months. On May 4, 2020, we entered into Amendment No. 3 to Third Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement which extended the maturity date of the SVB Credit Facility to June 28, 2021. While we intend to continue to renew the SVB Credit Facility annually, there can be no assurance that the SVB Credit Facility will be renewed. In addition, there can be no assurance that our business will generate cash flow from operations, that we will be in compliance with the quarterly financial covenants contained in the SVB Credit Facility, or that we will have a sufficient borrowing base under such facility. If we are not in compliance with the financial covenants or do not have sufficient eligible accounts receivable to support our borrowing base, borrowings under the SVB Credit Facility may not be available or our borrowing base may be diminished. Over the longer term, if we are unable to maintain cash balances or generate sufficient cash flow from operations to service our obligations 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.
As of April 2, 2021, we were in compliance with the quarterly financial covenants, as amended, contained in the SVB Credit Facility and there was no amount outstanding under the SVB Credit Facility.
In addition, we have an uncommitted short-term line of credit of $0.4 million from a bank in New Zealand to support the operations of our subsidiary located there. This line of credit provides for $0.3 million in short-term advances at various interest rates, all of which was available as of April 2, 2021 and July 3, 2020. The line of credit also provides for the issuance of standby letters of credit and company credit cards, of which $0.1 million was outstanding as of April 2, 2021 and July 3, 2020. This facility may be terminated upon notice, is reviewed annually for renewal or modification, and is supported by a corporate guarantee.
On April 13, 2021, we filed a registration statement on Form S-3 with the SEC using a “shelf” registration process. Once the shelf registration statement is declared effective by the SEC, we will be able to, from time to time, offer and sell, either individually or in combination, in one or more offerings, up to a total dollar amount of $200 million of any combination of the securities described in the shelf registration statement or a related prospectus supplement.
Restructuring Payments
We had liabilities for restructuring activities totaling $2.0 million as of April 2, 2021, which were classified as current liabilities 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 provided by operations.
Contractual Obligations
The amounts disclosed in our fiscal 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on August 27, 2020 include our commercial commitments and contractual obligations. During the first nine months of fiscal 2021, no material changes occurred in our contractual obligations to purchase goods and services or to make payments under operating leases or our contingent liabilities on outstanding letters of credit, guarantees, and other arrangements as disclosed in our fiscal 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
In accordance with the definition under SEC rules (Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K), any of the following qualify as off-balance sheet arrangements:
•any obligation under certain guarantee contracts;
•a retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to an unconsolidated entity or similar entity or similar arrangement that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support to that entity for such assets;
•any obligation, including a contingent obligation, under certain derivative instruments; and
•any obligation, including a contingent obligation, arising out of a material variable interest held by us in an unconsolidated entity that provides financing, liquidity, market risk or credit risk support to us, or engages in leasing, hedging or research and development services with us.
Currently we are not participating in transactions that generate relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, including variable interest entities, and we do not have any material retained or contingent interest in assets as defined above. As of April 2, 2021, we did not have material financial guarantees or other contractual commitments that are reasonably likely to adversely affect liquidity. In addition, we are not currently a party to any related party transactions that materially affect our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.
As of April 2, 2021, we had commercial commitments of $57.8 million.
Please refer to “Note 12 Commitments and Contingencies” of the Notes to unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for Contractual Obligations and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements.
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 2020 Annual Report on 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 or 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. The foreign exchange hedges do not qualify as cash flow hedges. The changes in fair value related to the hedges were recorded in income or expenses line items on our statements of operations.
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 April 2, 2021, we had no foreign currency forward contracts.
Net foreign exchange (income) loss recorded in our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations during the three and nine months ended April 2, 2021 and April 3, 2020 was as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Three Months Ended | | Nine Months Ended |

| | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | |
Certain of our international business is transacted in non-U.S. dollar currency. 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 for the first nine months of fiscal 2021 and 2020 was $0.3 million and $2.5 million, respectively, and was included as a component of stockholders’ equity. As of April 2, 2021 and July 3, 2020, the cumulative translation adjustment decreased our equity by $14.7 million and $15.0 million, respectively.
Interest Rate Risk
Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to our cash equivalents and borrowings under our credit facility.
Exposure on Cash Equivalents
We had $45.8 million in total cash and cash equivalents as of April 2, 2021. Cash equivalents totaled $27.8 million as of April 2, 2021 and were comprised of money market funds and bank certificates of deposit. Cash equivalents investments have been recorded at fair value on our balance sheet.
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. The weighted-average days to maturity for cash equivalents held as of April 2, 2021 was 27 days, and these investments had an average yield of approximately 3.68% per annum. A 10% change in interest rates on our cash equivalents is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
Exposure on Borrowings
Our borrowings under the SVB Credit Facility incurred interest at the prime rate plus a spread of 0.50% to 1.50% with such spread determined based on our adjusted quick ratio. During the first nine months of fiscal 2021, our weighted-average interest rate was 3.75%, and the interest expense on these borrowings was insignificant.
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
Based on management’s evaluation, with the participation of our President and Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), as of April 2, 2021, our CEO and CFO have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, are effective to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our CEO and CFO, in a manner that allows for timely decisions regarding required disclosures and is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.
Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
There were no changes to our internal controls over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) that occurred during the quarter ended April 2, 2021 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting. Management is actively monitoring the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our financial condition, liquidity, operations, suppliers, industry, and workforce. Additionally we have undertaken measures to protect our employees, suppliers, and customers, including encouraging, and in many cases requiring employees to work remotely as appropriate. We have also modified some of our controls procedures but those changes have not been significant.
Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls
Our management, including our CEO and CFO, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well-designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. 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. Further, because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of controls to future periods are subject to risks. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
For a discussion of legal proceedings as of April 2, 2021, please refer to “Legal Proceedings” and “Contingent Liabilities” under “Note 12 Commitments and Contingencies” of the Notes to unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which are incorporated into this item by reference.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
Investors should carefully review and consider the information regarding certain factors which could materially affect our business, operating results, cash flows, and financial condition set forth under Item 1A, Risk Factors, in our fiscal 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on August 27, 2020.
There have been no material changes from the risk factors described in our Annual Report, although we may disclose changes to such factors or disclose additional factors from time to time in our future filings with the SEC. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial also may impair our business operations.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
In May 2018, our board of directors approved a stock repurchase program, which does not have an expiration date, for the repurchase of up to $7.5 million of our common stock. The repurchase program has been suspended temporarily since February 2020 to February 2021. During the third quarter of fiscal 2021, our Board of Directors voted to re-instate our stock repurchase program and repurchased 8,300 shares of our common stock in the open market for an aggregate purchase price, including commissions, of $0.5 million. These shares were recorded as treasury stock and we do not anticipate retiring them. Treasury stock did not participate in the two-for-one stock split in the form of a stock dividend paid on April 7, 2021. As of April 2, 2021, $3.0 million remained available under our stock repurchase program.
Following is a summary of stock repurchases for the three months ended April 2, 2021:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Period | | Total Number of Shares Repurchased | | Average Price Paid per Share | | Total Number of Shares Repurchased as Part of Publicly Announced Program | | Approximate Dollar Value of Shares that May Yet be Repurchased Under the Program (1) |
