EXPLANATORY NOTE:

GigOptix, Inc (“GigOptix” or the “Company”) filed its Quarterly Report for the quarter ended October 2, 2011 on Form 10-Q (the “Quarterly Report”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on  November 15, 2011. As previously disclosed by the Company on February 28, 2011 in its Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Form 8-K”), the Company determined that the accounting treatment for certain liabilities and expenses associated with its acquisition of Endwave Corporation (“Endwave”) was incorrect in the Quarterly Report.  Additionally, as previously disclosed in the Form 8-K, the Company determined to reflect an additional change in the operating expenses for the second quarter of 2011 pertaining to the previously disclosed sign-on bonus payable to the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, Curt Sacks.  The Company is concurrently filing amendments to both its second and third quarter quarterly reports to reflect these changes.

This Amendment No. 1 to the Quarterly Report (“Amendment No. 1”) amends the Quarterly Report as follows:
 
(i) Part I, Item 1 (Financial Statements): Revised Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets of Operations (Unaudited) (the “Balance Sheets”) and Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations (Unaudited) (the “Statement of Operations”) to reflect:

(a)  that the accounting treatment for the liabilities associated with Endwave’s restructuring activities reported in the Company’s financial statements was incorrect. The Company determined that the restructuring liabilities assumed from Endwave (which Endwave incurred as expenses on Endwave’s financial statements) and reported in the Company’s Balance Sheet should also have been recorded as an operating expense on its post-acquisition Statement of Operations for the nine months ended October 2, 2011.  The correction will also result in a reduction of goodwill on the Balance Sheet of the Company as of October 2, 2011, and for that portion of expenses that Endwave incurred and paid prior to the close of the transaction with the Company, there is an increase of additional paid-in capital on the Balance Sheet as of October 2, 2011.
 
(b) inclusion of $110,000 for the sign-on bonus of Mr. Sacks as a Selling, General and Administrative Expense on the Statement of Operations for the nine months ended October 2, 2011, and an increase in accrued and other liabilities in the Balance Sheet as of October 2, 2011 in that same amount;
 
 (ii) Part I, Item 1 (Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements), Note 6 – Business Combinations: Revised disclosure of the restructuring expenses associated with Endwave and revised tabular disclosure of unaudited pro forma financial information for the combined entity of the Company and Endwave to reflect the foregoing;
 
(iii) Part I, Item 1 (Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements), Note 10 – Restructuring: Revised disclosure of the restructuring expenses associated with Endwave and revised tabular disclosure of restructuring plan activity to reflect the foregoing;
 
(iv) Part I, Item 2 (Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations): (i) Revised discussion of the Company’s cash flows, restructuring expenses and operating activities to reflect the foregoing, and (ii) revised discussion of Selling, General and Administrative Expense to reflect the $110,000 change disclosed above;
 
(v) Part II, Item 1A (Risk Factors):  Revised risk factor to reflect the change in the Company’s cash flows, restructuring expenses and operating activities to reflect the foregoing; and
 
(vi) Exhibit Index: Amendment to include Exhibits 31.3, 31.4, 32.3, and 32.4.
 
In connection with this Amendment No. 1 and pursuant to the SEC rules promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the Company is filing currently dated certifications under Section 302 and Section 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Except as described above, no other amendments are being made to the Quarterly Report. This Amendment No. 1 does not reflect events occurring after the November 15, 2011 filing of the Quarterly Report, nor does it modify or update the disclosure contained in the Quarterly Report in any way other than as required to reflect the amendments discussed above and reflected below.

GIGOPTIX, INC.

NOTE 1ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Organization

GigOptix, Inc. (“GigOptix” or the “Company”), the successor to GigOptix LLC, was formed as a Delaware corporation in March 2008 in order to facilitate a combination between GigOptix LLC and Lumera Corporation (“Lumera”). Before the combination, GigOptix LLC acquired the assets of iTerra Communications LLC in July 2007 (“iTerra”) and Helix Semiconductors AG (“Helix”) in January 2008. On November 9, 2009, GigOptix acquired ChipX, Incorporated (“ChipX”). As a result of the acquisitions, Helix, Lumera and ChipX all became wholly owned subsidiaries of GigOptix.

On June 17, 2011, GigOptix completed its acquisition of Endwave Corporation (“Endwave”) pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of February 4, 2011 (the “Merger Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, upon the consummation of the Merger, each outstanding share of Endwave common stock converted into the right to receive approximately 0.908 shares of GigOptix common stock.  GigOptix issued a total of 9,128,502 shares of its common stock in the Merger representing approximately 42.45% of GigOptix’ outstanding common stock. The foregoing amounts take into account reductions in the number of shares issued to employees and directors of Endwave for any applicable withholding requirements for federal, state and other taxes.   More specifically, 9,060,740 shares of GigOptix common stock were issued to the holders of Endwave common stock, 46,081 shares of GigOptix common stock were issued to holders of Endwave restricted stock units, and 21,681 shares of GigOptix common stock were issued to the holders of options to purchase Endwave common stock with an exercise price less than $2.08, the Endwave closing price as reported on the Nasdaq Global Market on June 16, 2011 (the trading day immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Date”)).  The total expenses in connection with the Endwave transaction, which were approximately $2.0 million, were comprised of legal, accounting and banking fees and employee expenses.
 
Basis of Presentation

The Company’s fiscal year ends on December 31. For quarterly reporting, the Company employs a four-week, four-week, five-week reporting period. The third quarter of 2011 ended on Sunday, October 2, 2011. The third quarter of fiscal 2010 ended on Sunday, October 3, 2010. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.  Endwave’s results of operations and cash flows for the period from June 18, 2011 through October 2, 2011 are included in the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three and nine months ended October 2, 2011 and the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the nine months ended October 2, 2011.  In addition, assets acquired and liabilities assumed from the Endwave acquisition are included in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of October 2, 2011.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of October 2, 2011 and for the three and nine months ended October 2, 2011 and October 3, 2010, have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Article 10 of Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Regulation S-X, and include the accounts of the Company and all of its subsidiaries. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by such accounting principles for annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments and those related to the acquisition of Endwave) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s consolidated financial position and operations have been included. The condensed consolidated results of operations for the three and nine months ended October 2, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full fiscal year ending December 31, 2011.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reported periods. These judgments can be subjective and complex, and consequently, actual results could differ materially from those estimates and assumptions. Descriptions of these estimates and assumptions are included in the Company’s Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2010 on Form 10-K (the “2010 Form K”) and the Company encourages you to read its 2010 Form 10-K for more information about such estimates and assumptions.
 

NOTE 2 – RESTATEMENT

As previously disclosed by the Company on February 28, 2011 in its Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Form 8-K”), the Company determined that the accounting treatment for certain liabilities and expenses associated with its acquisition of Endwave Corporation (“Endwave”) was incorrect in the Quarterly Report.  Additionally, as previously disclosed in the Form 8-K, the Company determined to reflect an additional change in the operating expenses for the second quarter of 2011 pertaining to the previously disclosed sign-on bonus payable to the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, Curt Sacks.  The Company is concurrently filing amendments to both its second and third quarter quarterly reports to reflect these changes.
 
This Amendment No. 1 to the Quarterly Report (“Amendment No. 1”) amends the Quarterly Report as follows:
 
(i) Part I, Item 1 (Financial Statements): Revised Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet (Unaudited) (the “Balance Sheet”) and Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations (Unaudited) (the “Statement of Operations”) to reflect:
 
(a) that the accounting treatment for the liabilities associated with Endwave’s restructuring activities reported in the Company’s financial statements was incorrect. The Company determined that the restructuring liabilities assumed from Endwave (which Endwave incurred as expenses on Endwave’s financial statements) and reported in the Company’s Balance Sheet should also have been recorded as an operating expense on its post-acquisition Statement of Operations for the nine months ended October 2, 2011.  The correction will also result in a reduction of goodwill on the Balance Sheet of the Company as of October 2, 2011, and for that portion of expenses that Endwave incurred and paid prior to the close of the transaction with the Company, there is an increase of additional paid-in capital on the Balance Sheet as of October 2, 2011.
 
(b) inclusion of $110,000 for the sign-on bonus of Mr. Sacks as a Selling, General and Administrative Expense on the Statement of Operations for the nine months ended October 2, 2011, and an increase in accrued and other liabilities in the Balance Sheet as of October 2, 2011 in that same amount;

At October 2, 2011, the Company had $6.2 million of short-term investments with maturities of less than one year and no long-term investments.  At December 31, 2010, the Company did not have any short-term or long-term investments.

At October 2, 2011, the Company had unrealized gains of $1,000 on its investments in debt securities.  The investments mature during 2011 and 2012. The Company believes that it has the ability to hold these investments until the maturity date.  Realized gains and losses were insignificant for the three and nine months ended October 2, 2011.

The Company periodically reviews its investment portfolio to identify and evaluate investments that have indications of possible impairment. Factors considered in determining whether a loss is temporary include the length of time and extent to which fair value has been less than the cost basis, credit quality and the Company’s ability to hold the investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in market value.  If the Company believes the carrying value of an investment is in excess of its fair value, and this difference is other-than-temporary, the Company will write down the investment to reduce its carrying value to fair value through a charge to the condensed consolidated statement of operations. See additional discussion in Note 5, Fair Value.

The Company’s financial assets and liabilities are valued using market prices on both active markets (“Level 1”) and less active markets (“Level 2”). Level 1 instrument valuations are obtained from real-time quotes for transactions in active exchange markets involving identical assets. Level 2 instrument valuations are obtained from readily-available pricing sources for comparable instruments.  Level 3 instruments are valued using unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, and which require the Company to apply judgment to determine the applicable inputs.

As of October 2, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company did not have any significant transfers of investments between Level 1 and Level 2.

The amounts reported as cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, note receivable, accounts payable and accrued warranty, compensation and other current liabilities approximate fair value due to their short-term maturities. The fair value for the Company’s investments in marketable debt securities is estimated based on quoted market prices. The carrying value of the Company’s capital lease obligations approximates fair value and is based upon borrowing rates currently available to the Company for capital leases with similar terms.

Liability Warrants

In connection with the November 2009 loan and security agreement with Bridge Bank and the January 2010 secured line of credit facility with Agility Capital (see Note 9), the Company issued warrants to both Bridge Bank and Agility Capital. Certain provisions in the warrant agreements provided for down-round protection if the Company raised equity capital at a per share price which was less than the per share price of the warrants. Such down-round protection also requires the Company to classify the value of the warrants as a liability on the issuance date and then record changes in the fair value through the statement of operations for each reporting period until the warrants are either exercised or cancelled. The fair value of the liability is recalculated and adjusted each quarter with the differences being charged to income. The fair value of these warrants was determined using a Monte Carlo simulation, which requires the use of significant unobservable inputs.  As a result, these warrants are classified as Level 3 financial instruments. On July 7, 2010 the Company raised additional equity through an offering of 2,760,000 shares at $1.75 per share, thus triggering the down-round protection and adjusting the number of warrants in each warrant agreement.

NOTE 6BUSINESS COMBINATIONS RESTATED

Acquisition of Endwave Corporation

On June 17, 2011, the Company completed its acquisition of Endwave Corporation.  With the acquisition of Endwave, GigOptix obtained $18.8 million of cash and short-term investments, and a pipeline of new products that are currently in development.  Pursuant to the Merger Agreement the Merger Sub merged with and into Endwave, the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub ceased and Endwave became the surviving corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of GigOptix.

Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, upon the consummation of the Merger, each outstanding share of Endwave common stock converted into the right to receive approximately 0.908 shares of GigOptix common stock. 9,106,821 shares of GigOptix common stock were issued to the holders of Endwave common stock and restricted stock units, and 21,681 shares of GigOptix common stock were issued to the holders of options to purchase Endwave common stock with an exercise price less than $2.08, the Endwave closing price as reported on the Nasdaq Global Market on June 16, 2011 (the trading day immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Date”)).  GigOptix issued 9,128,502 shares of its common stock in the Merger representing approximately 42.45% of GigOptix’ outstanding common stock. The foregoing amounts take into account reductions in the number of shares issued to employees and directors of Endwave for any applicable withholding requirements for federal, state and other taxes. Endwave stockholders will receive cash for any fractional share of GigOptix common stock that they would otherwise receive in the Merger.

The transaction was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting and, accordingly, the results of operations are included in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations subsequent to June 17, 2011.

The net tangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the acquisition were recorded at fair value.  The Company determined the valuation of the identifiable intangible assets using future revenue assumptions and a valuation analysis.  The amounts allocated to the identifiable intangible assets were determined through established valuation techniques accepted in the technology industry.

The fair values of identifiable intangible assets related to customer relationships, customer backlog, developed technology and trade name were determined under the income approach.  The customer relationships were valued using the excess earnings and cost savings methods under the income approach.  The customer backlog was valued using the excess earnings method under the income approach.  The developed technology and trade name were valued using the relief from royalty method under the income approach.  The measurement period is still open and the value of the intangibles is subject to change; however, the fair value of the intangibles is management’s best estimate.

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and represents the future economic benefits arising from other assets acquired that could not be individually identified and separately recognized. The goodwill arising from the transaction with Endwave primarily consisted of the synergies expected from the merger with Endwave.

The Company determined that certain restructuring expenses, in the amount of $3.1 million, incurred by Endwave in anticipation of the acquisition and prior to the close of the transaction, should also be recorded as expense in the Company’s second quarter of 2011 consolidated statement of operations. Of the total $3.1 million of restructuring expense incurred by Endwave prior to the close of the transaction, $2.1 million remained in restructuring liabilities at the close of the merger and $1.0 million had been paid out prior to the close of the transaction.  The effect of the inclusion of the $3.1 million in restructuring expense incurred by Endwave in the Company’s second quarter 2011, served to increase restructuring expense on the second quarter consolidated statement of operations, reduce goodwill acquired from Endwave by $2.1 million and increase the additional paid-in capital of the Company by $1.0 million.
 

The purchase consideration for the merger of approximately $24.2 million consisted of the fair value of 9,128,502 shares of GigOptix common stock issued to Endwave’s stockholders, at a per share price of $2.65, which reflects the closing price of the Company’s common stock as of June 17, 2011.

In addition to its annual review, the Company also performs a review of the carrying value of its intangible assets if the Company believes that indicators of impairment exist. During the third quarter of 2011, there were no factors which indicated impairment. The Company performs an impairment analysis of goodwill on an annual basis or if indicators of impairment exist. The Company did not record impairment on any intangibles, including goodwill for the three and nine months ended October 2, 2011.  In addition, the Company did not record an impairment of goodwill for the year ended December 31, 2010 and will perform its annual impairment analysis during the fourth quarter of 2011.
 

NOTE 8STOCKHOLDERS EQUITY

Common and Preferred Stock

In December 2008, the Company’s stockholders approved an amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation to authorize 50,000,000 shares of common stock of par value $0.001. In addition, the Company is authorized to issue 1,000,000 shares of undesignated preferred stock of $0.001 par value, for which the Board of Directors is authorized to fix the designation, powers, preferences and rights. As of October 2, 2011 and December 31, 2010, there were no shares of preferred stock issued or outstanding.

At the 2011 Annual Meeting presently scheduled for November 15, 2011, the shareholders of the Company are being asked to vote on a proposal to approve and ratify an amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation to allow the Board of Directors to effect a reverse split of the Company’s outstanding common stock in the range of one-for-three to one-for-five without further approval of the stockholders, if the Board of Directors, in its sole discretion, determines that such a reverse split is in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders.

2008 Equity Incentive Plan

In December 2008, the Company adopted the 2008 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2008 Plan”), for directors, employees, consultants and advisors to the Company or its affiliates. Under the 2008 Plan, 2,500,000 shares of common stock were reserved for issuance upon the completion of the merger with Lumera on December 9, 2008. On January 1 of each year, starting in 2009, the aggregate number of shares reserved for issuance under the 2008 Plan increases automatically by the lesser of (i) 5% of the number of shares of common stock outstanding as of the Company’s immediately preceding fiscal year, or (ii) a number of shares determined by the Board of Directors. The maximum number of shares of common stock to be granted is 21,000,000 shares. Forfeited options or awards generally become available for future awards.

The number of options available for future issuance as of October 2, 2011 was as follows:

   
Nine Months
Ended
October 2,
2011
 
Beginning shares available for future grants under 2008 Plan

Less: options granted
    (3,417,179 )
Add back: options forfeited
    691,334  
Ending shares authorized for future issuance under 2008 Plan
    1,513,660  
 
Under the 2008 Plan, the exercise price of (i) an award is at least 100% of the stock’s fair market value on the date of grant, and (ii) an ISO granted to a 10% stockholder is at least 110% of the stock’s fair market value on the date of grant. Vesting periods for awards are determined by the CEO and generally provide for stock options to vest over a four-year period and have a maximum life of ten years from the date of grant. As of October 2, 2011, 8,120,267 options to purchase common stock were outstanding in the 2008 Plan.

At the 2011 Annual Meeting, the shareholders are also voting on a proposal to amend and restate the 2008 Plan to increase the number of shares available by 3,000,000.

Lumera 2000 and 2004 Stock Option Plan

In December 2008, in connection with the merger with Lumera, the Company assumed the existing Lumera 2000 Equity Incentive Plan and the Lumera 2004 Stock Option Plan (the “Lumera Plan”). All unvested options granted under the Lumera Plan were assumed by the Company as part of the merger. All contractual terms of the assumed options remain the same, except for the converted number of shares and exercise price based on merger conversion ratio of 0.125. As of October 2, 2011, no additional options can be granted under the Lumera Plan, and options to purchase a total of 148,282 shares of common stock were outstanding.
 

Warrants

During the three months ended April 3, 2011, Bridge Bank exercised 114,286 warrants at an exercise price of $1.75 per share, in a cashless transaction, which resulted in the issuance of 48,496 shares to Bridge Bank.

As of October 2, 2011, a total of 2,335,841 warrants to purchase common stock were outstanding under all warrant arrangements. Some of the warrants have anti-dilution provisions which adjust the number of warrants available to the holder such as, but not limited to, stock dividends, stock splits and certain reclassifications, exchanges, combinations or substitutions. These provisions are specific to each warrant agreement.

On April 8, 2011, GigOptix and the trustees for the DBSI Estate Litigation Trust and the DBSI Liquidating Trust (together “DBSI”) reached an agreement to settle a claim by DBSI against GigOptix. As part of the settlement, GigOptix in April 2011 issued two warrants for a total of 1 million shares of GigOptix common stock, and DBSI surrendered to GigOptix for cancellation all of DBSI’s previously outstanding warrants to purchase 660,473 shares of GigOptix common stock.  The two new warrants will become exercisable six months from the date of issuance.  One of the two new warrants, for 500,000 shares of common stock, has a term of three years and an exercise price of $2.60 per share, and the other warrant, also for 500,000 shares of common stock, has a term of four years and an exercise price of $3.00 per share. The Warrants may be exercised on a cashless exercise basis.  For the three and nine months ended October 2, 2011, the Company recognized $0 and $1.1 million of expense in connection with the issuance of these warrants.

    $ 807     $ 362     $ 2,320     $ 1,189  
 
As of October 2, 2011 and October 3, 2010, the total compensation cost not yet recognized in connection with unvested stock options under the Company’s equity compensation plan was approximately $8.4 million and $3.2 million, respectively. These amounts will be amortized on a straight-line basis over a weighted-average period of approximately 3.0 and 2.7 years, respectively.

The Company generally estimates the fair value of stock options granted using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model. This model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the options expected life and the price volatility of the Company’s underlying stock options. Actual volatility, expected lives, interest rates and forfeitures may be different from the Company’s assumptions, which would result in an actual value of the options being different from estimated. This fair value of stock option grants is amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the awards, which is generally the vesting period.

The majority of the stock options that the Company grants to its employees provide for vesting over a specified period of time, normally a four-year period, with no other conditions to vesting.   However, the Company may also grant stock options for which vesting occurs not only on the basis of elapsed time, but also on the basis of specified company performance criteria being satisfied.  In this case, the Company makes a determination regarding the probability of the performance criteria being achieved and uses a Black-Scholes model to value the options incorporating management’s assumptions for the expected holding period, risk-free interest rate, stock price volatility and dividend yield. Compensation expense is recognized ratably over the vesting period, if it is expected that the performance criteria will be met; if the performance condition is subsequently not satisfied, then all previously recognized expense will be reversed and the options will be cancelled and returned to the pool.
 

From time to time the Company also issues stock option grants to directors and employees that have a market condition. In such cases stock options will vest only if the average price of the Company’s stock is at or exceeds a certain price threshold during a specific, previously defined period of time. To the extent that the market condition is not met, the options do not vest and are cancelled. In these cases, the Company cannot use the Black-Scholes model; instead, a binomial model must be used. For certain stock options, the Company utilizes the Monte Carlo simulation technique, which incorporates assumptions for the expected holding period, risk-free interest rate, stock price volatility and dividend yield. Compensation expense is recognized ratably until such time as the market condition is satisfied. Certain stock options granted on March 17, 2010 were classified as option grants having a market condition.
 
Stock Options with Market Conditions Granted March 17, 2010

On March 17, 2010, the Company granted 2,382,000 options, of which 1,201,000 are vesting over a four-year period, and the remaining 1,181,000 are vesting on the basis of market conditions.  The entire grant was comprised of 2,292,000 options to employees and consultants and 90,000 options to board members at an exercise price of $1.95, which was the closing price of GigOptix shares on the date of grant approval.

Below is the remaining vesting schedule for the stock options with market conditions.

472,400 shares vested on April 1, 2011 as the result of the average share price during March 2011 being $3.01, which exceeded a $2.50 March 2011 average price per share requirement. The fair value per share of these options is $1.05, as of grant date, and the total expense associated with these options was $496,000.  These options were amortized over one year.

472,400 shares will vest on April 1, 2012 if the average share price during March 2012 is at or above $3.50. The fair value per share of these options is $1.01, as of grant date, and the total expense associated with these options is $477,000.  These options are being amortized over two years.

236,200 shares will vest on April 1, 2013 if the average share price during March 2013 is at or above $5.00. The fair value per share of these options is $1.01, as of grant date, and the total expense associated with these options is $239,000.  These options are being amortized over three years.

Expected TermExpected term used in the Black-Scholes valuation method represents the period that the Company’s stock options are expected to be outstanding and is measured using the technique described in SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin 107.

Expected VolatilityExpected volatility used in the Black-Scholes valuation method is derived from a combination of historical and implied volatility of guideline companies selected based on similar industry and product focus. Forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant and are revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.

Expected DividendThe Company has never paid dividends and currently does not intend to do so, and accordingly, the dividend yield percentage is zero for all periods.

Risk-Free Interest RateThe Company bases the risk-free interest rate used in the Black-Scholes valuation method on the implied yield currently available on U.S. Treasury constant maturities issued with a term equivalent to the expected term of the option.

The above number of options outstanding at October 2, 2011 also includes 200,000 options that the Company’s Board of Directors granted on June 17, 2011 to the Company’s president and chief executive officer.  Of the 200,000 options, 100,000 were fully vested and exercisable upon grant, and the remaining 100,000 options will vest and become exercisable  on December 17, 2011,  subject to and contingent upon the Company’s Board of Directors sole approval of the satisfactory integration of the merger with Endwave.  The stock option has an exercise price of $2.65 per share, which was the price per share at which the Company’s common stock closed on June 17, 2011.

The aggregate intrinsic value of options outstanding, based on the fair value of the underlying stock options as of October 2, 2011 and October 3, 2010 was approximately $1.4 million and $4.8 million, respectively. The aggregate intrinsic value reflects the difference between the exercise price of the underlying stock options and the Company’s closing share price of $1.65 as of October 2, 2011 and $2.55 as of October 3, 2010.

NOTE 9LINE OF CREDIT

On April 23, 2010, the Company entered into a loan and security agreement with Silicon Valley Bank. Pursuant to the loan and security agreement, the Company is entitled to borrow from Silicon Valley Bank up to $3.0 million, based on 80% of eligible accounts receivable subject to limits based on the Company’s eligible accounts as determined by Silicon Valley Bank (“Revolving Loan”). Interest on extensions of credit under the Revolving Loan is equal to the prime rate of Silicon Valley Bank, which at October 2, 2011 was 4.0% per annum, plus 1.5% per annum, and at December 31, 2010 was 4.0% per annum, plus 1.5% per annum (“Applicable Rate”). In addition, a monthly collateral handling fee of 0.30% per each gross financed account receivable shall apply (“Collateral Handling Fee”). If the Company achieves certain quarterly financial performance targets as stated in the loan and security agreement, the Applicable Rate and the Collateral Handling Fee shall be reduced to the prime rate of Silicon Valley Bank plus 1.0% per annum and 0.20%, respectively. The Company used the Revolving Loan to replace the revolving accounts receivable credit line with Bridge Bank. With the initial funding by Silicon Valley Bank of the Revolving Loan, the Company terminated the loan and security agreement with Bridge Bank, which is discussed below. The loan and security agreement also contains events of default customary for credit facilities of this type, including, among other things, nonpayment of principal or interest when due. The loan and security agreement will expire on April 23, 2012. The amount outstanding on the line of credit as of October 2, 2011 was $988,000.  On October 3, 2011, the Company repaid the entire $988,000 to Silicon Valley Bank.
 

Pursuant to the loan and security agreement, Silicon Valley Bank is making available a term loan in an amount of up to $400,000, subject to the satisfaction of terms and conditions of the loan and security agreement, which can be drawn down one time for the purpose of refinancing outstanding obligations to Agility Capital. The term loan is repayable in eighteen equal monthly installments and interest is fixed at a rate per annum of 9.0%. The Company used the proceeds of the term loan to pay off the loan and terminate the loan agreement with Agility Capital. On October 2, 2011, the amount outstanding on the term loan was $24,000 and on October 3, 2011, the Company paid the remaining balance .  The weighted average interest rate on loans outstanding at October 2, 2011 was 6.4%

The loan and security agreement with Silicon Valley Bank is secured by all of the Company’s assets, including all accounts, equipment, inventory, receivables, and intangibles. The loan and security agreement contains certain restrictive covenants that will impose significant operating and financial restrictions on the Company’s operations, including, but not limited to:
 
 
Merge or consolidate, or permit any of the Company’s subsidiaries to merge or consolidate, with or into any other business organization, or acquire, or permit any of the Company’s subsidiaries to acquire, all or substantially all of the capital stock or property of another person;

 
Create, incur, assume or be liable for any indebtedness, other than certain indebtedness permitted under the loan and security agreement; or

 
Pay any dividends or make any distribution or payment on, or redeem, retire, or repurchase, any capital stock.

The acquisition of Endwave required, and Silicon Valley Bank provided, a waiver of the anti-merger provision in our loan and security agreement.

In connection with the loan and security agreement, the Company granted Silicon Valley Bank (i) a warrant to purchase 125,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price equal to $4.00 per share (the “Warrant”), and (ii) a warrant to purchase a second tranche of up to 100,000 shares of the Company’s common stock which would vest 15,000 shares per month incrementally beginning September 1, 2010 (although the last monthly incremental vesting amount shall be 10,000 shares) at an exercise price equal to the closing market price on each date of vesting (“Second Tranche Warrant”), provided that in the event that either the Company closes an equity investment of at least $4.0 million or the Company has been EBITDA positive for the preceding three months, then vesting would cease, and all unvested shares under the Second Tranche Warrant would lapse. In July 2010, the Company satisfied the requirements of closing an equity investment of at least $4.0 million and the Second Tranche Warrant expired. The Warrant includes anti-dilution provisions and “piggy-back” registration rights permitting registration in a future public offering. The shares underlying the Warrant were registered on a Registration Statement on Form S-1 that was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 2, 2010. The Warrant may either be (i) converted, on a cashless, net settlement basis, based on the fair market value as determined pursuant to the terms of the Warrant, or (ii) exercised by delivering a duly executed notice of exercise. The Warrant has a term of seven years; the fair value of the Warrant has been determined using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The full fair value of the Warrant has been classified as a non-current asset and as equity on the balance sheet and is being amortized over two years; amortization during the three and nine months ended October 2, 2011 was $47,000 and $140,000. The balance of the asset as of October 2, 2011 was $94,000.

In November 2009, the Company entered into a loan and security agreement with Bridge Bank (“Credit Agreement”) under which the Company could borrow up to $4.0 million, based on net eligible accounts receivable. On January 29, 2010, the Company entered into a loan agreement for a secured line of credit facility (“Secured Credit Facility”) with Agility Capital, LLC (“Agility Capital”) to pay for transaction expenses incurred by the Company in its acquisition of ChipX. In connection with the Credit Agreement and the Secured Credit Facility, the Company issued warrants to both Bridge Bank and Agility Capital. Certain provisions in the warrant agreements provided for down-round protection if the Company raised equity capital at a per share price which was less than the per share price of the warrants.
 
 
On February 25, 2011, Agility Capital net share exercised both of the warrants issued to it. On March 23, 2011 Bridge Bank net share exercised 114,286 warrants granted to it on November 12, 2009.

NOTE 10RESTRUCTURING RESTATED

In July 2011, the Company vacated its headquarters facilities in Palo Alto, California and relocated to Endwave’s facilities in San Jose, California.  The Company has lease obligations through December 2013 for the Palo Alto facilities.  In connection with the Company’s vacating the Palo Alto facilities, the Company recognized $825,000 of restructuring expenses during the three months ended October 2, 2011, of which $764,000 represented future obligations.

On June 17, 2011, the Company completed its acquisition of Endwave Corporation.  The Company determined that certain restructuring expenses, in the amount of $3.1 million, incurred  by Endwave in anticipation of the acquisition and prior to the close of the transaction, should be recorded as expense in the Company’s second quarter of 2011 consolidated statement of operations. Of the total $3.1 million of restructuring expense incurred by Endwave prior to the close of the transaction, $2.1 million remained in Endwave’s restructuring liabilities at the close of the merger and $1.0 million had been paid out prior to the close of the transaction.  As shown in the table below, the Company acquired $468,000 of accrued restructuring from Endwave unrelated to restructuring activity incurred in anticipation of the acquisition.  The Company recorded $3.1 million in restructuring charges in the second quarter of 2011 originally incurred by Endwave in anticipation of the acquisition as noted above.  The Company paid out $841,000 related to restructuring during the second quarter and adjusted additional paid in capital by $1.0 million for the restructuring charges originally incurred, booked by Endwave that were paid out prior to the close of the transaction.

During the three months ended April 4, 2010 the Company decided to close its R&D design center in Haifa, Israel which was acquired as part of the merger with ChipX in 2009. The Company took a restructuring charge of $428,000 to account for employee severance of $196,000, future facility rent expense of $61,000 for the remainder of the lease term through the end of fiscal 2010, a write-down of fixed assets of $121,000, and accounting and legal expenses of approximately $50,000. The Company did not make any payments during the three months and nine months ended October 2, 2011 in connection with the restructuring.

In December 2009, the Company adopted a plan to reduce the size of its facilities in Bothell, Washington. The Company reduced the amount of square footage it occupies from approximately 32,000 square feet to approximately 12,000 square feet and recognized restructuring expense of $500,000 for expenses incurred through January 2011 for the unoccupied space. The existing lease on the facility expires in March 2013.  The Company paid out the remaining $28,000 balance related to unoccupied space in Bothell in January 2011.

NOTE 11INCOME TAXES

The Company recorded a provision for income taxes of $12,000 for the nine months ended October 2, 2011.  The Company did not record a provision for income taxes for the three months ended October 2, 2011.  The Company recorded a benefit for income taxes of $2,000 for the three months ended October 3, 2010 and a provision for income taxes of $22,000 for the nine months ended October 3, 2010. The Company’s effective tax rate was less than 1% for all of these periods. The income tax provision for the nine months ended October 2, 2011 and October 3, 2010 were due primarily to state and foreign income taxes due and to losses in all tax jurisdictions, and a full valuation allowance against such losses. There are sufficient net operating losses carried forward to offset the taxable income generated in Switzerland. The benefit for income tax for the three months ended October 3, 2010 was due primarily to a reduction in state and foreign income taxes due and to losses in all tax jurisdictions and full valuation allowance against such losses.

In assessing the potential realization of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. In making such a determination, management considers all available positive and negative evidence, including scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies and recent financial performance. In order to support a conclusion that a valuation allowance in not needed, positive evidence of sufficient quantity and quality is necessary to overcome negative evidence. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent on the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. A valuation allowance has been recorded for the entire deferred tax asset as a result of uncertainties regarding realization of the asset including lack of profitability through October 2, 2011 and the uncertainty over future operating profitability and taxable income. The Company will continue to evaluate the potential realization of the deferred tax assets on a quarterly basis.

The Company is subject to income taxes in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various U.S. state and foreign jurisdictions. All tax years since the Company’s inception are open and may be subject to potential examination in one or more jurisdictions.

See additional discussions in Note 16, Subsequent Events, and in Legal Proceedings  regarding litigation involving the Company and National Instruments.

NOTE 15RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued a new accounting standard update, which amends the fair value measurement guidance and includes some enhanced disclosure requirements. The most significant change in disclosures is an expansion of the information required for Level 3 measurements based on unobservable inputs. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company will adopt this standard in the first quarter of 2012 and are currently evaluating its impact on the Company’s financial statements and disclosures.

In June 2011, the FASB issued a new accounting standard, which eliminates the current option to report other comprehensive income and its components in the statement of stockholders’ equity. Instead, an entity will be required to present items of net income and other comprehensive income in one continuous statement or in two separate, but consecutive, statements. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company will adopt this standard in the first quarter of 2012.

In September 2011, the FASB issued a revised accounting standard, which is intended to reduce the cost and complexity of the annual goodwill impairment test by providing entities an option to perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether further impairment testing is necessary. Specifically, an entity has the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the current two-step test. If an entity believes, as a result of its qualitative assessment, that it is more-likely than-not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, the quantitative impairment test is required. Otherwise, no further testing is required. This standard is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company will adopt this standard in the first quarter of 2012.

NOTE 16SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On October 4, 2011, National Instruments filed a complaint against ChipX and GigOptix in the District Court of Travis County pertaining to two sales contracts to which National Instruments was a purchaser of products sold by ChipX.  GigOptix is not a party to either contract.  Prior to the filing of the complaint, the parties had been in discussions regarding the pricing of the products sold under these contracts, the number of products to be sold, and the length of period of time during which the products would be sold.  National Instruments’ complaint sought a declaration that it was not in material breach of one of the contracts, as ChipX had asserted, that ChipX could not modify the prices in the contracts, that National Instruments could purchase products sold under one of the contracts directly from a supplier, and that GigOptix was not entitled to any damages from National Instruments as it is not a party to the contracts.  The complaint also sought unspecified damages for alleged breach of contract by ChipX.  ChipX and GigOptix have not yet responded to the complaint, or filed a cross-complaint against National Instruments.  The parties have now settled the matter.  Pursuant to the terms of the settlement, National Instruments will pay ChipX $500,000 to license rights from ChipX which will enable National Instruments to manufacture the products sold under one of the contracts, National Instruments will make one last purchase in the amount of $3,500,000 of such products from ChipX to be fulfilled during 2012, and National Instruments shall have the right to purchase products sold under the other contract directly from the supplier in exchange for a royalty which the supplier will pay to ChipX.

Overview
 
GigOptix is a leading supplier of electronic and electro-optical components that enable high-speed telecommunications and data-communications networks globally. GigOptix’ strategy is to apply GigOptix’ core technical expertise in optical, electro-optical and high speed analog technology to develop products that address high growth product and market opportunities.

The following sets forth GigOptix’ significant corporate and product milestones:

 
·
In 2007, GigOptix LLC was formed and received initial funding.

 
·
GigOptix LLC acquired the assets of iTerra Communications LLC in July 2007 and Helix Semiconductors AG in January 2008.

 
·
In March 2008, GigOptix, Inc. was formed to facilitate a combination with Lumera Corporation. The combined company began trading on the OTCBB under the symbol GGOX in December 2008.

 
·
In November 2009, GigOptix acquired ChipX.

 
·
In June 2011, GigOptix acquired Endwave Corporation.
 
 
GigOptix focuses on the specification, design, development and sale of analog semiconductor ICs, MCMs, polymer modulators, and analog and mixed signal custom ASICs. GigOptix believes that it is an industry leader in the fast growing market for electronic solutions that enable high-bandwidth optical connections found in telecom systems, data-com and storage systems, and, increasingly, in consumer electronics and computing systems.

GigOptix’ products fall into the following main categories:

 
·
Laser and modulator Driver ICs and MCMs;
 
 
·
Transimpedance and Limiting Amplifier ICs
 
 
·
Optical Modulators;
 
 
·
Radio Frequency (“RF”) Amplifiers, Semiconductor Devices and Modules; and
 
 
·
Custom analog and mixed signal ASICs.

These products are capable of performing in various applications, demanding a wide range of data processing speeds, from consumer electronics, which perform at data processing speeds of 3Gbps to 10Gbps, to sophisticated ultra-long haul submarine telecommunications systems, which require performance at data processing speeds from 10Gbps and 40Gbps to 100Gbps.

GigOptix markets and sells GigOptix’ products in North America, Asia and Europe and other locations through GigOptix’ direct sales force, distributors and sales representatives. The percentage of GigOptix’ revenue generated from shipments outside North America was approximately 52%, 49% and 51% for the first nine months of 2011 and for fiscal 2010 and fiscal 2009, respectively. GigOptix measures sales location by the shipping destination, even if the customer is headquartered in the U.S. GigOptix anticipates that sales to international customers will continue to represent a significant percentage of GigOptix’ revenue.

Customer purchase orders are generally used to establish terms of sale. Because industry practice allows customers to reschedule or cancel orders on relatively short notice, backlog may not be a good indicator of GigOptix’ future revenues. Cancellations of customer orders or changes in product specifications could result in the loss of anticipated sales without allowing us sufficient time to reduce our inventory and operating expenses.

GigOptix’ business may be subject to seasonality, with increased revenues in the third and fourth calendar quarters of each year, when customers place orders to meet year-end demand. However, due to the complex nature of the markets GigOptix serves and the broad fluctuations in economic conditions in the U.S. and other countries, it is difficult for GigOptix to assess the impact of seasonal factors on GigOptix’ business.

GigOptix has incurred negative cash flows from operations since its inception. For the nine months ended October 2, 2011 and for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, GigOptix incurred net losses of $12.3 million, $4.4 million and $10.0 million respectively, and used cash in operations of $3.0 million, $3.8 million and $4.1 million, respectively. As of October 2, 2011 GigOptix had an accumulated deficit of $85.7 million.

GigOptix is subject to the risks of conducting business internationally, including economic conditions in Asia, particularly Taiwan and China, changes in trade policy and regulatory requirements, duties, tariffs and other trade barriers and restrictions, the burdens of complying with foreign laws and, possibly, political instability. Most of GigOptix’ foundries and assembly and test subcontractors are located in Asia. Although GigOptix’ international sales are largely denominated in U.S. dollars, GigOptix also enters into sales transactions in New Taiwan dollars, in Hong Kong dollars and in Chinese renminbi. In addition, GigOptix has foreign operations where expenses are generally denominated in the local currency. Such transactions expose GigOptix to the risk of exchange rate fluctuations. GigOptix monitors its exposure to foreign currency fluctuations, but has not adopted any hedging strategies to date. There can be no assurance that exchange rate fluctuations will not harm GigOptix’ business and operating results in the future.
 

Due to continued uncertain economic conditions, GigOptix’ current or potential customers may delay or reduce purchases of GigOptix’ products, which would adversely affect GigOptix’ revenues and harm GigOptix’ business and financial results. GigOptix expects its business to be adversely impacted by any future downturn in the U.S. or global economies. In the past, industry downturns have resulted in reduced demand and declining average selling prices for GigOptix’ products which adversely affected GigOptix’ business. GigOptix expects to continue to experience these adverse business conditions in the event of further downturns.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued a new accounting standard update, which amends the fair value measurement guidance and includes some enhanced disclosure requirements. The most significant change in disclosures is an expansion of the information required for Level 3 measurements based on unobservable inputs. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company will adopt this standard in the first quarter of 2012 and are currently evaluating its impact on the Company’s financial statements and disclosures.

In June 2011, the FASB issued a new accounting standard, which eliminates the current option to report other comprehensive income and its components in the statement of stockholders’ equity. Instead, an entity will be required to present items of net income and other comprehensive income in one continuous statement or in two separate, but consecutive, statements. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company will adopt this standard in the first quarter of 2012.

In September 2011, the FASB issued a revised accounting standard, which is intended to reduce the cost and complexity of the annual goodwill impairment test by providing entities an option to perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether further impairment testing is necessary. Specifically, an entity has the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the current two-step test. If an entity believes, as a result of its qualitative assessment, that it is more-likely than-not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, the quantitative impairment test is required. Otherwise, no further testing is required. This standard is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company will adopt this standard in the first quarter of 2012.

Revenue for the three months ended October 2, 2011 was $8.4 million, an increase of $1.1 million, or 16%, compared with $7.2 million for the three months ended October 3, 2010.  The increase in revenue was primarily due to an increase in product revenue which includes revenue derived from the Endwave acquisition in June 2011.  This increase was partially offset by a decrease in billings under government contracts of $1.4 million.

Revenue for the nine months ended October 2, 2011 was $23.6 million, an increase of $4.9 million, or 26%, compared with $18.8 million for the nine months ended October 3, 2010. The increase in revenue was primarily due to an increase in product revenue which included revenue derived from the Endwave acquisition in June 2011.  This increase was partially offset by a decrease in billings under government contracts of $1.6 million.
 
 
Gross Profit

Gross profit consists of revenue less cost of revenue. Cost of revenue consists primarily of the costs to manufacture saleable parts, including outsourced wafer fabrication and testing, and amortization expense of certain intangible assets.

Gross profit for the three months ended October 2, 2011 was $4.7 million, or 56% of revenue, compared to $3.8 million, or 53% of revenue for the three months ended October 3, 2010.  The increase in gross profit is due to a $1.1 million increase in total revenue.  The increase in gross margin from 53% to 56% is primarily due to an increased absorption of our overhead costs resulting from increased production and a change in product mix.

Gross profit for the nine months ended October 2, 2011 was $12.3 million, or 52% of revenue, compared to $9.9 million, or 53% of revenue for the nine months ended October 3, 2010.  The increase in gross profit is due to a $4.9 million increase in total revenue in 2011 as compared to 2010.  The decrease in gross margin is due to reduced billings from government contracts which typically carry a higher gross margin as well as the impact of a change in product mix.

Research and Development Expense

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Research and development costs consist primarily of employee compensation, consulting and engineering design, non-capitalized tools and equipment depreciation.

During the third quarter of 2011, research and development costs increased in absolute dollars compared to the third quarter of 2010 which primarily due to a $397,000 increase in personnel related expenses, a $349,000 increase in project related expenses, a $210,000 increase in depreciation and amortization and a $167,000 increase in stock-based compensation.  The addition of Endwave to our operations also added approximately $586,000 of research and development related expenses.

During the first nine months of 2011, research and development costs increased in absolute dollars compared to the first nine months of 2010 primarily due to a $771,000 increase in personnel related expenses, a $653,000 increase in depreciation and amortization, a $477,000 increase in stock-based compensation and a $349,000 increase in project related expenses.  The addition of Endwave to our operations also added approximately $723,000 of research and development related expenses.

For the three months ended October 2, 2011 and October 3, 2010, selling, general and administrative expense was $2.8 million and $2.3 million, respectively.  For the nine months ended October 2, 2011 and October 3, 2010, selling, general and administrative expense was $8.0 million and $6.9 million, respectively.  The three month increase was primarily due to a $267,000 increase in stock compensation expense, $158,000 increase in professional and outside services and $48,000 of additional expenses which resulted from adding Endwave’s staff into GigOptix’s operations.

The nine month increase was primarily due to a $620,000 increase in stock compensation expense, $294,000 increase in professional and outside services and $251,000 of additional expenses which resulted from adding Endwave’s staff into GigOptix’s operations.

Merger-related Expense

During the three and nine months ended October 2, 2011, we incurred $74,000 and $2.0 million of expenses in connection with our June 2011 acquisition of Endwave Corporation.  The amounts primarily include employee retention compensation in connection with the completion of the merger and attorney, accounting and investment banking fees.

  $ 769     $ -     $ 3,823     $ 428  

 
During the three months ended October 2, 2011, we recorded restructuring expense of $769,000 which was primarily due to costs associated with vacating  previous headquarters facilities in Palo Alto, California, for which we have facilities lease obligations through December 2013.
 
For the nine months ended October 2, 2011, GigOptix recorded restructuring expense of $3.8 million that is the result of the $769,000 noted above, as well as $3.1 million in restructuring expense booked in relation to the acquisition of Endwave.  GigOptix determined that certain restructuring expenses, in the amount of $3.1 million, incurred and booked by Endwave in anticipation of the acquisition and prior to the close of the transaction, should also be booked into the results of our second quarter of 2011 consolidated statement of operations. Of the total $3.1 million of restructuring expense incurred by Endwave prior to the close of the transaction, $2.1 million remained in Endwave’s restructuring liabilities at the close of the merger and $1.0 million had been paid out prior to the close of the transaction.  The effect of the inclusion of the $3.1 million in restructuring expense incurred by Endwave on our second quarter 2011, served to increase restructuring expense on the second quarter consolidated statement of operations, reduce goodwill acquired from Endwave by $2.1 million and increase our additional paid-in capital by $1.0 million.
 
During the three months ended April 4, 2010 we decided to close our R&D design center in Haifa, Israel which was acquired as part of the merger with ChipX in 2009. We recorded a restructuring charge of $428,000 to account for employee severance of $196,000, future facility rent expense of $61,000 for the remainder of the lease term through the end of fiscal 2010, a write-down of fixed assets of $121,000, and accounting and legal expenses of approximately $50,000.

During the three months ended October 2, 2011, we made no cash payments in connection with the restructuring of our Bothell, Washington facilities or the 2010 shutdown of the Haifa R&D design center.  During the nine months ended October 2, 2011, we made cash payments of $28,000 in connection with the restructuring of our Bothell, Washington facilities, and made no cash payments in connection with the 2010 shutdown of the Haifa R&D design center.
 
Shareholder Settlement Expense

On April 8, 2011, GigOptix and the trustees for the DBSI Estate Litigation Trust and the DBSI Liquidating Trust (together “DBSI”) reached agreement to settle a claim by DBSI against GigOptix. As part of the settlement, GigOptix issued warrants to DBSI for 1 million shares of common stock. During the three and nine months ended October 2, 2011, we recognized $0 and $1.1 million of expense in connection with the issuance of these warrants.

Interest expense for the three and nine months ended October 2, 2011 decreased in comparison to the same periods in 2010 due primarily to our no longer having borrowings in 2011 from Bridge Bank and Agility Capital.

Other expense, net during the three and nine months ended October 2, 2011 was comprised primarily of foreign exchange losses of $105,000 and $22,000, respectively, which were the result of the change in foreign exchange rates between the Swiss Franc and the U.S. dollar on the operations of our Swiss business unit.  Other expense for the nine months ended October 3, 2010 was comprised primarily of $98,000 of note discount amortization on a loan from Bridge Bank.
 
Provision for Income Taxes

We recorded a provision for income taxes of $12,000 for the nine months ended October 2, 2011 and did not record a provision for income taxes for the three months ended October 2, 2011. We recorded a provision for income taxes of $22,000 for the nine months ended October 3, 2010. Our effective tax rate was less than 1% for all of these periods. The income tax provision for the nine months ended October 2, 2011 and October 3, 2010 were due primarily to state and foreign income taxes due and to losses in all tax jurisdictions.  We have a full valuation allowance against such losses. There are sufficient net operating losses carried forward to offset the taxable income generated in Switzerland.

We recorded a benefit for income taxes of $2,000 for the three months ended October 3, 2010. The benefit for income tax for the three months ended October 3, 2010 was due primarily to a reduction in state and foreign income taxes due and to losses in all tax jurisdictions and full valuation allowance against such losses.

In July 2010, we sold 2,760,000 shares of common stock in a public offering at a price of $1.75 per share. Gross proceeds from the sale were $4.8 million from which we received net proceeds of $3.9 million after deducting total expenses of the offering.

On April 23, 2010, we entered into a loan and security agreement with Silicon Valley Bank. Pursuant to the loan and security agreement, we are entitled to borrow through a revolving loan facility from Silicon Valley Bank up to $3 million, based on net eligible accounts receivable after an 80% advance rate and subject to limits based on our eligible accounts receivable as determined by Silicon Valley Bank. Interest on extensions of credit under the revolving loan is equal to the prime rate of Silicon Valley Bank, which is 4.0% per annum, plus 1.50% per annum (the Applicable Rate”). In addition, a monthly collateral handling fee of 0.30% per each gross financed account receivable shall apply (“Collateral Handing Fee”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if we achieve certain quarterly financial performance targets as stated in the loan and security agreement, the Applicable Rate and the Collateral Handling Fee shall be reduced to the prime rate of Silicon Valley Bank plus 1.0% per annum and 0.20% respectively. The revolving loan was used to replace our revolving accounts receivable credit line with Bridge Bank which is discussed below. On April 28, 2010 with $1.6 million of initial funding by Silicon Valley Bank on the revolving loan, we terminated our loan and security agreement with Bridge Bank as having been fully performed.

Pursuant to the loan and security agreement, Silicon Valley Bank also is making available a term loan in an amount of up to $400,000, subject to the satisfaction of terms and conditions of the loan and security agreement, which can be drawn down one time for the purpose of refinancing our outstanding obligations to Agility Capital (we previously disclosed these obligations to Agility Capital on our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on February 4, 2010). The term loan is repayable in eighteen equal monthly installments and interest is fixed at a rate per annum equal to 9.00%. With the funding by Silicon Valley Bank of the term loan, we terminated our loan agreement with Agility Capital.
 
The loan and security agreement with Silicon Valley Bank is secured by all of our assets, including all accounts, equipment, inventory, receivables, and general intangibles.

On January 29, 2010, we entered into a loan agreement for a secured line of credit facility (“Secured Credit Facility”) with Agility Capital, LLC (“Agility Capital”) to pay for transaction expenses we incurred in our acquisition of ChipX. The Secured Credit Facility provided that we may borrow one advance of up to $500,000 and had a maturity date of December 1, 2010. Borrowings incurred interest at 14.0% per annum. Beginning March 1, 2010, and on the first day of each month thereafter, $50,000 plus accrued but unpaid interest was to be paid to Agility Capital, and all amounts outstanding on December 1, 2010 were due and payable at that time.

On June 17, 2011 we completed our merger with Endwave Corporation, which resulted in Endwave becoming our wholly-owned subsidiary. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, all outstanding shares of Endwave common stock, including those issuable upon settlement of outstanding restricted stock units, and outstanding in-the-money Endwave stock options, were converted into shares of our common stock such that immediately after the Merger, such shares represented approximately 42.45% of all outstanding shares of our common stock. On the effective date of the acquisition, GigOptix issued 9,128,502 shares of GigOptix common stock to holders of Endwave common stock, restricted stock units and in-the-money stock options.  Our total expenses in connection with the Endwave transaction, which were approximately $2.0 million, were comprised of legal, accounting, investment banking and printing fees, and employee expenses.  As a result of this transaction we received approximately $18.8 million of cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments.
 

Operating Activities

Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices on Net Sales, Revenue and Income

Inflation and changing prices have not had a material impact on our revenue and income during the periods and at balance sheet dates presented in this report.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

GigOptix does not use off-balance-sheet arrangements with unconsolidated entities,  nor does it use other forms of off-balance-sheet arrangements such as special purpose entities and research and development arrangements. Accordingly, GigOptix is not exposed to any financing or other risks that could arise if it had such relationships.
 
 

This item has been omitted based on GigOptix’ status as a smaller reporting company.
 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain “disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Our management, including our CEO and CFO, is responsible for establishing and maintaining our disclosure controls and procedures. Our CEO and CFO have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of October 2, 2011. In light of the material weaknesses set forth below, our CEO and CFO have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of that date. Notwithstanding the material weaknesses described below, our management performed additional analyses, reconciliations and other post-closing procedures and has concluded that our consolidated financial statements for the periods covered by and included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are fairly stated in all material respects in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.

As of December 31, 2010, our CEO and CFO determined that we have the following material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010:
 
 
·
We did not maintain a sufficient complement of personnel with an appropriate level of accounting knowledge, experience and training in the application of generally accepted accounting principles commensurate with their financial reporting requirements. This deficiency resulted in multiple audit adjustments. Accordingly, we have determined this control deficiency constitutes a material weakness.

 
·
We did not maintain effective policies, procedures and controls surrounding the financial reporting processes. Specifically, policies, procedures and controls were not documented, designed or in place to ensure that:
 
·
all journal entries, both recurring and non-recurring, were reviewed and approved; and
 
·
monthly closing checklists were used consistently and thoroughly to ensure all financial reporting procedures and controls have been performed.
 
During 2011, our CEO and CFO determined that we had a material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting because we did not maintain effective procedures and controls surrounding the accounting of acquisitions.  Specifically, we incorrectly accounted for certain restructuring expenses associated with our acquisition of Endwave Corporation which led to the restatement of our second and third quarter quarterly reports on Form 10-Q.

Changes in Internal Control

In response to the material weaknesses discussed above, during the second and third quarters of 2011, we hired a new CFO, added more experienced accounting personnel and strengthened our accounting policies and procedures by using of checklists and certifications and establishing formal review processes.  In addition, as part of future acquisitions and significant transactions, we will review our accounting of the transactions internally based on generally accepted accounting principles as well as the most recent authoritative guidance.  We will also seek external advisors with a full understanding of the appropriate accounting treatment for significant and infrequent transactions we experience in the future.
 
PART II
OTHER INFORMATION
 

From time to time, we may become involved in legal proceedings, claims and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. When we believe a loss is probable and can be reasonably estimated, we accrue the estimated loss in our consolidated financial statements. Where the outcome of these matters is not determinable, we do not make a provision in our financial statements until the loss, if any, is probable and can be reasonably estimated or the outcome becomes known.
 
 
Advantech Advanced Microwave Technologies Inc. (“Advantech”)

On October 31, 2008, Endwave filed a complaint with the Canadian Superior Court in Montreal, Quebec alleging that Advantech , the parent company of Allgon Microwave Corporation AB, or Allgon, had breached its contractual obligations with Endwave and owes it $994,500 for amounts outstanding under a note receivable and for purchased inventory and authorized finished goods purchase orders. By virtue of the acquisition of Endwave, we have assumed this litigation. The litigation is at an early stage, and a trial date has been set for February 2013; we cannot predict the outcome of these proceedings.

Optomai, Inc. and M/A-COM Technology Solutions, Inc.

On April 25, 2011, GigOptix initiated a lawsuit in the Superior Court of Santa Clara County, California, against five former employees of GigOptix who left in 2009 and 2010 to launch a competing company, Optomai, Inc.  The former employees were responsible for the development and promotion of products for 40G and 100G fiber optic networks, among other products, and their new company, Optomai, Inc., began marketing such products in April 2011.  On the day GigOptix filed suit, M/A-COM Technology Solutions, Inc. (MACOM) announced that it had acquired Optomai and MACOM has since been added to the suit as a defendant.  In the lawsuit, GigOptix’ seeks damages and injunctive relief for misappropriation of confidential information and trade secrets and breach of the former employees’ contractual and legal obligations to GigOptix.  The litigation is at an early stage; limited discovery has occurred and no trial date has been set.

National Instruments Corporation (“National Instruments”)

On October 4, 2011, National Instruments filed a complaint against ChipX and GigOptix in the District Court of Travis County pertaining to two sales contracts to which National Instruments was a purchaser of products sold by ChipX.  GigOptix is not a party to either contract.  Prior to the filing of the complaint, the parties had been in discussions regarding the pricing of the products sold under these contracts, the number of products to be sold, and the length of period of time during which the products would be sold.  National Instruments’ complaint sought a declaration that it was not in material breach of one of the contracts, as ChipX had asserted, that ChipX could not modify the prices in the contracts, that National Instruments could purchase products sold under one of the contracts directly from a supplier, and that GigOptix was not entitled to any damages from National Instruments as it is not a party to the contracts.  The complaint also sought unspecified damages for alleged breach of contract by ChipX.  ChipX and GigOptix have not yet responded to the complaint, or filed a cross-complaint against National Instruments.  The parties have now settled the matter.  Pursuant to the terms of the settlement, National Instruments will pay ChipX $500,000 to license rights from ChipX which will enable National Instruments to manufacture the products sold under one of the contracts, National Instruments will make one last purchase in the amount of $3,500,000 of such products from ChipX to be fulfilled during 2012, and National Instruments shall have the right to purchase products sold under the other contract directly from the supplier in exchange for a royalty which the supplier will pay to ChipX.
 
ITEM 1A.

We have revised the risk factors that relate to our business, as set forth below. These risks include any material changes to and supersede the risks previously disclosed in Part I, Item 1A in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010. We encourage investors to review the risk factors and uncertainties relating to our business disclosed in that Form 10-K, as well as those contained in Part 1, Item 2, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, above.
 
GigOptix and its predecessors have incurred substantial operating losses in the past and it may not be able to achieve profitability in the future.

GigOptix has incurred negative cash flows from operations since inception. For the nine months ended October 2, 2011 and for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, GigOptix incurred net losses of $12.3 million, $4.4 million and $10.0 million, respectively, and cash outflows from operations of $3.0 million, $3.8 million and $4.1 million, respectively. As of October 2, 2011, GigOptix had an accumulated deficit of $85.7 million. GigOptix expects development, sales and other operating expenses to increase in the future as it expands its business. If GigOptix’ revenue does not grow to offset these expected increased expenses, it may not be profitable. In fact, in future quarters GigOptix may not have any revenue growth and its revenues could decline. Furthermore, if GigOptix’ operating expenses exceed expectations, financial performance will be adversely affected and it may continue to incur significant losses in the future.
 

GigOptix may require additional capital to continue to fund its operations. If GigOptix needs but does not obtain additional capital, it may be required to substantially limit operations.

GigOptix may not generate sufficient cash from its operations to finance its anticipated operations for the foreseeable future from such operations. Although consummation of the merger with Endwave has  improved GigOptix’ cash position and mitigated GigOptix’ near-term liquidity needs, it is anticipated that GigOptix may need to use cash for its capital needs. GigOptix could require additional financing sooner than expected if it has poor financial results, including unanticipated expenses, or an unanticipated drop in projected revenues. Such financing may be unavailable when needed or may not be available on acceptable terms. If GigOptix raises additional funds by issuing equity or convertible debt securities, the percentage ownership of its current stockholders will be reduced, and these securities may have rights superior to those of its common stock. If adequate funds are not available to satisfy either short-term or long-term capital requirements, or if planned revenues are not generated, GigOptix may be required to limit its operations substantially. These limitations of operations may include a possible sale or shutdown of portions of its business, reductions in capital expenditures and reductions in staff and discretionary costs.

GigOptix has incurred negative cash flows from operations since inception. For the nine months ended October 2, 2011 and for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, GigOptix incurred net losses of $12.3 million, $4.4 million and $10.0 million, respectively, and cash outflows from operations of $3.0 million, $3.8 million and $4.1 million, respectively. As of October 2, 2011, GigOptix had an accumulated deficit of $85.7 million. GigOptix has incurred significant losses since inception, attributable to GigOptix’ efforts to design and commercialize GigOptix’ products. GigOptix has  managed GigOptix’ liquidity during this time through a series of cost reduction initiatives and through increasing GigOptix’ line of credit with GigOptix’ bank.   Following GigOptix’ acquisition of Endwave, the Company had $16.2 million in cash and short-term investments as of October 2, 2011.  However,  while the Company has additional cash available, GigOptix’ ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on many events outside of GigOptix’ direct control, including, among other things, obtaining additional financing either privately or through public markets and consumers purchasing GigOptix’ products in substantially higher volumes. During 2010, GigOptix raised approximately $3.9 million in additional equity capital from institutional investors.

GigOptix could suffer unrecoverable losses on GigOptix’ customers’ accounts receivable, which would adversely affect GigOptix’ financial results.

GigOptix’ operating cash flows are dependent on the continued collection of receivables. GigOptix’ accounts receivable as of October 2, 2011 increased by $20,000 or 0.4% compared to the balance at December 31, 2010. GigOptix could suffer additional accounting losses as well as a reduction in liquidity if a customer is unable to pay. A significant increase in uncollectible accounts would have an adverse impact on GigOptix’ business, liquidity and financial results.

GigOptix’ business is subject to foreign currency risk.

Sales to customers located outside of the United States comprised 52% and 49% of GigOptix’ revenue for the nine months ended October 2, 2011 and October 3, 2010, respectively. In addition, GigOptix has a subsidiary overseas (Switzerland) that records its operating expenses in a foreign currency. Because sales of GigOptix’ products have been denominated to date primarily in U.S. dollars, increases in the value of the U.S. dollar could increase the price of GigOptix’ products so that they become relatively more expensive to customers in the local currency of a particular country, leading to a reduction in sales and profitability in that country. Future international activity may result in increased foreign currency denominated sales. Gains and losses on the conversion to U.S. dollars of accounts receivable, accounts payable and other monetary assets and liabilities arising from international operations may contribute to fluctuations in GigOptix’ results of operations. GigOptix currently does not have hedging or other programs in place to protect against adverse changes in the value of the U.S. dollar as compared to other currencies to minimize potential adverse effects.

Restrictive covenants under GigOptix’ credit facility with Silicon Valley Bank may adversely affect its operations.

GigOptix’ loan and security agreement with Silicon Valley Bank contains a number of restrictive covenants that will impose significant operating and financial restrictions on GigOptix’ ability to, without prior written approval from Silicon Valley Bank:
 
 
 
Merge or consolidate, or permit any of GigOptix’ subsidiaries to merge or consolidate, with or into any other business organization, or acquire, or permit any of GigOptix’ subsidiaries to acquire, all or substantially all of the capital stock or property of another person;
 
Create, incur, or assume any indebtedness, other than certain indebtedness permitted under the loan and security agreement with Silicon Valley Bank; and
 
Pay any dividends or make any distributions or payment on, or redeem, retire or repurchase any capital stock.

While in October 2011,  the Company paid off the remaining balance on this line of credit, if GigOptix makes future borrowings, a failure to comply with the covenants contained in GigOptix’ loan and security agreement could result in an event of default under the agreement that, if not cured or waived, could result in the acceleration of the indebtedness and have a material adverse effect on GigOptix’ business, financial condition and results of operations.
 
GigOptix may fail to realize the anticipated benefits of the merger with Endwave.

GigOptix’ future success will depend in significant part on its ability to utilize Endwave’s cash and cash equivalents and to realize the cost savings, operating efficiencies and new revenue opportunities that it expects to result from the integration of the GigOptix and Endwave businesses. GigOptix’ operating results and financial condition will be adversely affected if GigOptix is unable to integrate successfully the operations of GigOptix and Endwave, fails to achieve or achieve on a timely basis such cost savings, operating efficiencies and new revenue opportunities, or incurs unforeseen costs and expenses or experiences unexpected operating difficulties that offset anticipated cost savings or Endwave’s cash and cash equivalents, in whole or in part. In particular, the integration of GigOptix and Endwave may involve, among other matters, integration of sales, marketing, billing, accounting, manufacturing, engineering, management, personnel, payroll, quality control, regulatory compliance, network infrastructure and other systems and operating hardware and software, some of which may be incompatible and therefore may need to be replaced.
 
The cost savings estimates expected to result from the merger do not include one-time adjustments that GigOptix will record in connection with the merger. In addition, the estimates are based upon assumptions by the management of GigOptix concerning a number of factors, including operating efficiencies, the consolidation of functions, and the integration of operations, systems, marketing methods and procedures. These assumptions are uncertain and are subject to significant business, economic and competitive conditions that are difficult to predict and often beyond the control of management.
 

On October 6, 2011, GigOptix entered into a Third Amendment to Lease Agreement (the “Amendment”) by and between GigOptix and EOP-Embarcadero Place, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company (“Landlord”) in connection with an amendment of a lease at 2400 Geng Road, in Palo Alto, California (the “Premises”), one of GigOptix’ two Palo Alto facilities.  Pursuant to a prior amendment, GigOptix leased 3,652 rentable square feet at the Premises, and the lease of the Premises was to expire by its terms on December 31, 2013.  Under the terms of the prior amendment, the base rent for the Premises would be (with such abatements as set forth in the prior amendment) $6,025.80 per month for the remainder of 2011, $6,573.60 for each month of 2012, and $7,230.96 for each month of 2013.

Pursuant to the Amendment, Landlord and GigOptix agreed to accelerate the expiration date of the lease to such time (the “Accelerated Termination Date”) as both the Landlord signed a new lease for the Premises with a new tenant and Landlord’s mortgagee consented to the Amendment, provided that such events occurred by October 31, 2011 (and if the events did not occur by then, the Amendment would not be effective).  The Amendment also provided that all portions of the base rent as set forth in the prior amendment would not apply and be due for the period after the Accelerated Termination Date, which occurred on October 6, 2011, but that GigOptix would be liable for the rent prior to October 31, 2011.  In addition, the Amendment provided that GigOptix would pay the Landlord $91,300.00 as consideration for the acceleration of the expiration date of the lease.
