Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1 — The Company and Basis of Presentation
QuickLogic Corporation was founded in 1988 and reincorporated in Delaware in 1999. The Company provides innovative, programmable silicon and software platforms to enable its customers to develop custom hardware products in a fast time-to-market and cost-effective way. Specifically, QuickLogic is a fabless semiconductor company with a variety of products: embedded FPGA ("eFPGA") intellectual property ("IP"), low power, multi-core semiconductor system-on-chips ("SoCs"), discrete FPGAs, and AI software. QuickLogic's customers can use its eFPGA IP for hardware acceleration and pre-processing in their Application Specific Integrated Circuit ("ASIC") products, the Company's SoCs to run its customers' software and build their hardware around, and the Company's discrete FPGAs to implement their custom functionality. The Analytics Toolkit from SensiML Corporation ("SensiML"), the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, provides an end-to-end Artificial Intelligence / Machine Learning solution with accurate sensor algorithms using AI technology. The full range of platforms, software tools, and eFPGA IP enables the practical and efficient adoption of AI, voice, and sensor processing across Aerospace and Defense, Consumer/Industrial IoT, and Consumer Electronics markets.
The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited. In the opinion of the Company’s management, these statements have been prepared in accordance with the United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”), and include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to provide a fair statement of results for the interim periods presented. The Company recommends that these interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 27, 2024. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full fiscal year.
QuickLogic's fiscal year ends on the Sunday closest to December 31 and each fiscal quarter ends on the Sunday closest to the end of each calendar quarter. QuickLogic's second fiscal quarter for 2024 and 2023 ended on June 30, 2024 and July 2, 2023, respectively.
The Company has one reportable business segment based on how its Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") manages the business and in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the CODM. The CODM, the Company's Chief Executive Officer ("CEO"), reviews detailed income statements, balance sheets, and sales reports in order to assess performance of the Company. Sales and operating income are some of the key variables monitored by the CODM and management when determining the Company's consolidated financial condition and operating performance.
Liquidity
The Company has financed its operations and capital investments through the sale of common stock, financing arrangements, operating leases, a revolving line of credit with Heritage Bank (the "Revolving Facility"), and cash flows from operations. As of June 30, 2024, the Company's principal sources of liquidity consisted of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of $
The Company was in compliance with all the Revolving Facility loan covenants as of June 30, 2024. As of June 30, 2024, the Company had $
On March 13, 2024, the Company entered into common stock purchase agreements with certain institutional investors and their affiliated entities for the sale of an aggregate of

On April 28, 2023, the Company converted accounts receivable for a customer in the amount of approximately $
The Company currently uses its cash to fund its working capital, to accelerate the development of next generation products, and for general corporate purposes. Based on past performance and current expectations, the Company believes that its existing cash and cash equivalents, together with $
Various factors affect the Company’s liquidity, including, among others: the level of revenue and gross profit as a result of the cyclicality of the semiconductor industry; the conversion of design opportunities into revenue; market acceptance of existing and new products including solutions based on the Company's ArcticLink® and PolarPro® platforms, ArcticPro™, EOS S3 SoC, Quick AI solution, QuickAI™, SensiML Analytics Toolkit, Eclipse II products, and eFPGA IP license and professional services; fluctuations in revenue as a result of product end-of-life; fluctuations in revenue as a result of the stage in the product life cycle of its customers’ products; costs of securing access to and availability of adequate manufacturing capacity; levels of inventories; wafer purchase commitments; customer credit terms; the amount and timing of research and development expenditures; the timing of new product introductions; production volumes; product quality; sales and marketing efforts; the value and liquidity of its investment portfolio; changes in operating assets and liabilities; the ability to obtain or renew debt financing and to remain in compliance with the terms of existing credit facilities; the ability to raise funds from the sale of equity in the Company; the issuance and exercise of stock options and participation in the Company’s employee stock purchase plan; and other factors related to the uncertainties of the industry and global economics.
Over the longer term, the Company anticipates that sales generated from its new product offerings, existing cash and cash equivalents, together with financial resources from its Revolving Facility with Heritage Bank, assuming renewal of the Revolving Facility or the Company entering into a new debt agreement with an alternative lender prior to the expiration of the revolving line of credit on December 31, 2025, and its ability to raise additional capital in the public capital markets will be sufficient to satisfy its operations and capital expenditures. However, the Company cannot provide any assurance that it will be able to raise additional capital, if required, or that such capital will be available on terms acceptable to the Company. The inability of the Company to generate sufficient sales from its new product offerings and/or raise additional capital if needed could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s operations and financial condition, including its ability to maintain compliance with its lender’s financial covenants.
Principles of Consolidation
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of QuickLogic and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Foreign Currency
The functional currency of the Company's non-U.S. operations is the U.S. dollar. Accordingly, all monetary assets and liabilities of these foreign operations are translated into U.S. dollars at current period-end exchange rates and non-monetary assets and related elements of expense are translated using historical exchange rates. Income and expense elements are translated to U.S. dollars using the average exchange rates in effect during the period. Gains and losses from the foreign currency transactions of these subsidiaries are recorded as interest income and other expense, net in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations, and are insignificant for all periods presented.
Uses of Estimates
The preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosures of commitments and contingencies at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.
The methods, estimates, and judgments the Company uses in applying its most critical accounting policies have a significant impact on the results it reports in its consolidated financial statements. The SEC has defined critical accounting policies as those that are most important to the portrayal of the Company's financial condition and results of operations and requires it to make its most difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain.
Although these estimates are based on the Company’s knowledge of current events and actions it may undertake in the future, actual results may ultimately materially differ from these estimates and assumptions. Areas where management uses subjective judgment include, but are not limited to, revenue recognition, inventory valuation, including the identification of excess quantities, market value, and obsolescence, and valuation of goodwill and long-lived and intangible assets. The Company believes that it applies judgments and estimates in a consistent manner and that such consistent application results in consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes that fairly represent all periods presented. However, any factual errors or errors in these judgments and estimates may have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. For additional information, please refer to the Company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, which was filed with the SEC on March 27, 2024.
Concentration of Risk
The Company's accounts receivable and note receivable are denominated in U.S. dollars and are derived primarily from sales to customers located in North America, Asia Pacific, and Europe. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and does not require collateral. See Note 12, Information Concerning Product Lines, Geographic Information and Revenue Concentration, for information regarding concentrations associated with accounts receivable.
As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had $
For instance, adverse developments affecting financial institutions, companies in the financial services industry, or the financial services industry, such as actual events or concerns involving liquidity, defaults, or non-performance, could adversely impact the stability of Heritage Bank, leading to additional financial risks for the Company.
Any material decline in available funding or the Company's ability to access its cash, cash equivalents, and liquidity resources, inclusive of those at Heritage Bank, could adversely impact its ability to meet its operating expenses, financial and contractual obligations, or result in breaches of its contractual obligations. Any of these impacts could have material adverse impacts on the Company's operations and liquidity.
Note 2 — Significant Accounting Policies
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, there were no changes to the Company's significant accounting policies from its disclosures in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. For a discussion of the significant accounting policies, please see the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the SEC on March 27, 2024.
In the six months ended June 30, 2024, there we no observable indicators of impairment for the non-marketable equity investment. Furthermore, utilizing the probability-of-default method to determine the current expected credit loss for the Company's note receivable, the Company determined the associated current expected credit loss to be de minimis as of June 30, 2024.
Financing Arrangements, Non-Cash Activities, & Correction of an Error
The Company previously classified certain licensed tooling software as leased assets and liabilities under ROU assets and financing lease liabilities pursuant to lease accounting under ASC 842, Leases. Upon further analysis, the Company determined these amounts are intangible assets subject to amortization in accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles, Goodwill, and Other and financed through financing arrangements. As a result, the Company corrected immaterial errors to revise its statement of cash flows for the six months ended July 2, 2023. Cash payments on notes payable during the six months ended July 2, 2023 were $
Conforming the Company's consolidated statement of cash flows for the six months ended July 2, 2023 to the Company's reclassification at FY'23 year-end of certain assets from property and equipment to internal-use software resulted in the reclassification of investing cash outflows from capital expenditures to internal-use software in the amount of $
Additionally, non-cash activities of $
The Company has determined the correction of these errors did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements, including net income and the balance of accumulated deficit as of and for the six months ended July 2, 2023.
Additional Classifications in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows
To conform with current period's classifications on the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows, the Company has added the following classification lines: ROU asset amortization, Changes in lease liabilities, and Proceeds from issuance of common stock to investors. These reclassifications to the Statement of Cash Flows for the six months ended June 30, 2024 were not material.
Recent Accounting Standards Adopted
In June 2022, the FASB issued ASU No. 2022-03, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions to clarify the measurement of the fair value of an equity security subject to contractual restrictions that prohibit the sale of an equity security and requires disclosures related to these types of equity securities. For public business entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for both interim and annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. The Company adopted ASU No. 2020-06 on January 1, 2024 and it had no material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements or related disclosures.
Recent Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740) Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures by providing information to better assess how an entity's operations and related tax risks and tax planning and operational opportunities affect its tax rate and prospects for future cash flows. For public entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted for annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. The adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements or disclosures.
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280) Improvements to Disclosures About Reportable Segments to enhance disclosures about significant segment expenses, among other interim disclosure requirements. For public entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements or disclosures.
Note 3 — Net Income (Loss) Per Share
Basic net income (loss) per share was computed by dividing net income (loss) available by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share was computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period plus potentially dilutive common shares outstanding during the period under the treasury stock method. In computing diluted net income (loss) per share, the weighted average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options and warrants. For periods in which the Company has reported a net loss, diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is the same as basic net loss per share attributable to common stockholders as dilutive common shares are not assumed to have been issued if their effect is anti-dilutive. For periods in which the Company has reported a net income, diluted net income per share attributable to common stockholders is different from basic net income per share attributable to common stockholders as dilutive common shares would increase the amount of shares outstanding reduced by the amounts of treasury shares repurchased from the proceeds at the average market price for the period.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and July 2, 2023,

Overview
QuickLogic Corporation was founded in 1988 and reincorporated in Delaware in 1999. We provide innovative, programmable silicon and software platforms to enable our customers to develop custom hardware products in a fast time-to-market and cost-effective way. Specifically, we are a fabless semiconductor company with a variety of products: embedded FPGA ("eFPGA") intellectual property ("IP"), low power, multi-core semiconductor system-on-chips ("SoCs"), discrete FPGAs, and AI software. Our customers can use our eFPGA IP for hardware acceleration and pre-processing in their Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) products, our SoCs to run our customers' software and build their hardware around, and our discrete FPGAs to implement their custom functionality. The Analytics Toolkit from SensiML Corporation ("SensiML"), our wholly-owned subsidiary, provides an end-to-end Artificial Intelligence / Machine Learning solution with accurate sensor algorithms using AI technology. The full range of platforms, software tools, and eFPGA IP enables the practical and efficient adoption of AI, voice, and sensor processing across Aerospace and Defense, Consumer/Industrial IoT, and Consumer Electronics markets.
Our new products include the following: eFPGA IP Licensing business and associated professional services, consisting of development and integration of eFPGA technology into custom semiconductor solutions and our silicon products consisting of EOS™, QuickAI™, ArcticLink® III, PolarPro®3, PolarPro II, PolarPro, and Eclipse II products. In addition to delivering our own semiconductor solutions, our new products category includes our AI/ML Software Platform from our wholly-owned subsidiary company, SensiML, which includes Software as a Service (SaaS) subscriptions for development, per unit license fees when deployed in production, and proof-of-concept services, all of which are also included in the new products revenue category. Our mature products include primarily FPGA families named PASIC®3 and QuickRAM®, as well as programming hardware and design software. We currently have a total of three patent applications pending.
For our IP and silicon platforms, we collaborate with multiple partners on co-marketing and/or co-selling initiatives. These partners could have primary business lines in semiconductor IP, Design Services, semiconductor foundry, semiconductor assembly and test, and others. For our AI/ML Software, SensiML collaborates with several microcontroller and sensor manufacturers to integrate the microcontroller and/or sensor manufacturers’ development kits with SensiML’s Analytics Toolkit in order to showcase combined solutions for AI/ML applications. Currently, these collaborations include Infineon Technologies, On Semiconductor Corp., Microchip Technology Inc., Silicon Laboratories, Inc., STMicroelectronics N.V., Arduino, NXP Semiconductors N.V., Raspberry Pi, and Nordic Semiconductor.
Our eFPGA IP is currently developed on 12nm, 16nm, 22nm, 28nm, 40nm, 65nm, 90nm, 130nm, and 250nm process nodes with a roadmap to more advanced nodes. The licensable IP is generated by our automated compiler tool called Australis™, which enables our engineers to create an eFPGA IP for our licensees that they can then integrate into their SoC without significant involvement by QuickLogic. We believe this flow enables a scalable development and support model for QuickLogic. For our eFPGA strategy, we typically work with semiconductor manufacturing partners prior to this IP being licensed to a SoC company.
We have changed our manufacturing strategies to reduce the cost of our silicon solution platforms to enable their use in a range of unique products ranging from low to high volume. Our EOS S3, EOS S3AI, QuickAI, and ArcticLink III silicon platforms combine mixed signal physical functions and hard-wired logic alongside our field programmable logic. Our EOS S3, EOS S3AI, and ArcticLink III solution platforms are manufactured on process nodes where we can benefit from smaller die sizes and lower power consumption. We typically implement sophisticated logic blocks and mixed signal functions in hard-wired logic because it is very cost-effective and energy efficient. We use small form factor packages, which are less expensive to manufacture and include smaller pin counts. Reduced pin counts result in lower costs for our customers' printed circuit board space and routing. Furthermore, our SRAM reprogrammable silicon platforms can be programmed in-system by our customers, and therefore, we do not incur programming costs, lowering the overall cost of ownership to our customers. We expect to continue to invest in silicon solution platforms and manufacturing technologies that make us competitive for the variety of markets and applications that programmable logic serves.
In order to grow our revenue from its current level, we depend upon increased revenue from our new products, including existing new product platforms and platforms currently in development. We expect our business growth to be driven mainly by eFPGA IP and our silicon solutions, with additional contributions from SensiML AI Software. Therefore, our revenue growth needs to be strong enough to enable us to sustain profitability while we continue to invest in the development, sale, and marketing of our new solution platforms, IP, and software.
We market our programmable logic (FPGAs and eFPGA IP) solutions primarily to Defense Industrial Base contractors, U.S. Government entities, System OEMs, and fabless semiconductor companies. These customers may value one or more of our product categories. A solution can be based on our programmable technology, which enables customized designs, low power, flexibility, rapid time-to-market, longer time-in-market, and lower total cost of ownership. We are capable of providing complete solutions because of our investment in developing the low power IP and software required to implement specific functions, along with sensor software algorithms optimized for our architecture. In some cases, we develop the IPs and either software or firmware ourselves and, in other cases, we utilize third parties to develop the mixed signal physical layers, logic, and/or software.
We market our SoC and SensiML solutions to OEMs and ODMs offering differentiated Consumer/IoT products, to processor vendors wishing to expand their served available market, and to sensor manufacturers and sensor processing software companies wishing to expand their ecosystems. Our target markets for our SoC and SensiML products include Consumer/Industrial IoT and Consumer Electronics.
By using our silicon platforms, our IPs, our software, and our in-depth architecture knowledge, we can deliver energy efficient custom solutions that blend the benefits of traditional ASSPs with the flexibility, product proliferation, differentiation, and low total cost of ownership advantages of programmable logic.
We monetize our technology through hardware product sales and eFPGA IP licenses, with any necessary corresponding work delivered via professional engineering services, SensiML Analytics Toolkit subscriptions, and per unit royalties. We specialize in enhancing the user experience in leading edge IoT hardware products. For our customers, we enable hardware and sensor algorithmic differentiation quickly, cost-effectively, and at low power. For our partners, we expand their reach into new segments and new use cases, thereby expanding the served available market for their existing hardware products.
Our embedded FPGA technology gives ASIC and SoC developers the benefit of flexibility to make design changes post-manufacturing changes at very fast time-to-and time-in-market, while keeping power consumption low. Our multi-core sensor processing products such as ArcticLink 3 S1, ArcticLink 3 S2, EOS 3, EOS S3 LV, and EOS S3AI provide an extremely power-efficient approach for real-time multi-modal (vision, motion, voice, location, biometric, and environmental) sensor processing independently of the cloud. Our SensiML Analytics Toolkit is cutting-edge software that enables ultra-low power IoT endpoints that implement AI to transform raw sensor data into meaningful insight at the device itself. The toolkit also provides an end-to-end development platform spanning data collection, labeling, algorithm and firmware auto generation, and testing.
We recognize that our markets require a range of solutions, and we intend to work with market-leading companies to combine silicon solution platforms, packaging technology, FPGA User Tools, sensor software algorithms, software drivers and firmware, to meet the product proliferation, high bandwidth, time-to-market, time-in-market, and form factor requirements of our customers. We intend to continue to define and implement compelling solutions for our target customers and partners.
We believe our solutions are resonating with our target customers who value lower power consumption, platform design flexibility, rapid time-to-market, longer time-in-market, and low total cost of ownership available through the use of our solutions.
We sell our products through a network of sales managers in North America, Europe, and Asia. In addition to our corporate headquarters in San Jose, California, we have international sales operations in Japan and the United Kingdom. Our sales personnel and independent sales representatives are responsible for sales and application support for a given region, focusing on major strategic accounts, and managing our channel sales partners such as distributors.
Customers typically order our products through our distributors. Currently, we have ten active distributors in North America and a network of fifteen active distributors and sales representatives throughout Europe and Asia to support our international business. eFPGA IP customers and SensiML SaaS subscribers typically enter into licensing agreements directly with QuickLogic and SensiML, respectively.
We also have an Aerospace and Defense, industrial, and IoT product customer base that purchases our mature silicon products. We expect to continue to offer silicon hardware products to these customers, as well as new eFPGA IP for when these customers choose to implement their own silicon platform solution.
During the second quarter of 2024, we generated total revenue of $4.1 million, a decrease of 31% compared to the prior quarter, and an increase of 41% compared to the same quarter last year. Our new product revenue in the second quarter was $3.1 million, a decrease of 37% from the prior quarter and an increase of 37% from the second quarter of 2023. Our mature product revenue was $1.1 million in the second quarter of 2024, a decrease of 5% compared to the prior quarter, and an increase of 56% compared to the second quarter of 2023. We expect our mature product revenue to continue to fluctuate over time.
We devote substantially all of our development, sales, and marketing efforts to our new eFPGA IP licensing and professional services and SensiML initiatives. Overall, we reported a net loss of $1.6 million for the second quarter of 2024, as compared to a net income of $0.1 million in the prior quarter and a net loss of $2.3 million for the second quarter of 2023.
As of June 30, 2024, we had one operating lease with a remaining lease term of 2.92 years. The operating lease relates to our company headquarters in San Jose, CA.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The methodologies, estimates, and judgments we use in applying our most critical accounting policies have a significant impact on the results we report in our consolidated financial statements. The SEC has defined critical accounting policies as those that are most important to the portrayal of the company's financial condition and results of operations and requires us to make our most difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain. Based on this definition, our critical accounting policies include revenue recognition, inventory valuation, including the identification of excess quantities, market value, and obsolescence, and valuation of goodwill and long-lived and intangible assets. We believe that we apply judgments and estimates in a consistent manner and that such consistent application results in consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes that fairly represent all periods presented. However, any factual errors or errors in these judgments and estimates may have a material impact on our financial statements. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, there were no changes in our critical accounting policies from our disclosure in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, which was filed with the SEC on March 27, 2024.

In the second quarter of 2024, gross profit increased $0.9 million, or 75%, compared to the same quarter in the prior year. The net increase in gross profit reflects a 41% increase in revenues, offset by a 18% net increase in cost of revenue. Revenue increased from the same quarter in the prior year due to revenues associated with Department of Defense contracts, as well as increases in device sale and royalty revenues. The net increase in cost of revenues was primarily due to the increased activity commensurate with the professional services revenue contracts. Labor, semiconductor tooling, and increased depreciation expenses substantially comprised this increase, with slight offsets from decreased consulting expenses.
Our semiconductor products have historically had long product life cycles and obsolescence has not been a significant factor in the valuation of inventories. However, as we continue to pursue opportunities in the mobile market and develop new solutions and products, our product life cycle will be shorter, and the risk of obsolescence will increase.

Research and Development
Our R&D expenses consist primarily of personnel, overhead and other costs associated with System on Chip (SoC) and software development, programmable logic design, AI and eFPGA development. The $22 thousand increase in R&D expenses in the second quarter of 2024, as compared to the second quarter of 2023, was primarily due to net allocations to cost of revenue resulting from labor and tooling costs attributable to professional services revenue contracts, with slight offsets due to increases in net depreciation and amortization expense from notes payable related to equipment.
Selling, General and Administrative
Our selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses consist primarily of personnel and related overhead costs for sales, marketing, finance, administration, human resources, and general management. The $0.2 million increase in SG&A expenses in the second quarter of 2024, as compared to the second quarter of 2023, was attributable to increases in compensation, offset by decreases in variable incentive compensation and outside services.
Interest Expense, Interest Income and Other Income (Expense), Net

Interest expense relates primarily to our revolving line of credit facility and notes payable. Interest income and other income (expense), net, relates to net foreign exchange losses recorded, partially offset by interest earned in our money market accounts. Changes in interest expense are related to our revolving loan's interest rate variability. Interest expense for the second quarter of this year as compared to the same period in the prior year decreased approximately $10 thousand, which was comprised of a $5 thousand increase in interest expense related to notes payable, a $14 thousand decrease in interest expense and facility fees related to our revolving line of credit facility, and a $1 thousand decrease in interest expense related to IT hardware financing costs. The favorable change in interest income and other income (expense), net reflected decreased foreign exchange losses over the prior period.

In the second quarter of 2024, gross profit increased $2.5 million, or 69%, compared to the same quarter in the prior year. The increase in gross profit reflects a 44% increase in revenues, offset by a 17% net increase in cost of revenue. Revenue increased from the same quarter in the prior year due to revenues associated with Department of Defense contracts, as well as increases in device sale and royalty revenues. The increase in cost of revenues was primarily due to the increased activity commensurate with the professional services revenue contracts. Labor, semiconductor tooling, and increased depreciation expenses, offset by decreases in consulting expenses, substantially comprised this increase.
Our semiconductor products have historically had long product life cycles and obsolescence has not been a significant factor in the valuation of inventories. However, as we continue to pursue opportunities in the mobile market and develop new solutions and products, our product life cycle will be shorter, and the risk of obsolescence will increase. In general, our standard manufacturing lead times are longer than the binding forecasts we receive from customers.

Changes in interest expense are related to our revolving loan's interest rate variability. Interest expense for the second quarter of this year as compared to the same period in the prior year increased approximately $1 thousand, which was comprised of an $8 thousand increase in interest expense related to notes payable, a $6 thousand decrease in interest expense related to our revolving line of credit facility, and a $1 thousand decrease in interest expense related to IT hardware financing costs.

There was a slight change in the income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the six months ended July 2, 2023. The computed tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was 0.10% as compared to 0.02% for the six months ended July 2, 2023. The difference between the estimated annual effective income expense of 0.10% and the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21% is primarily due to the Company's valuation allowance movement in each period presented. It is more likely than not that the Company will not realize the federal, state, and certain foreign deferred tax assets as of June 30, 2024. As such, the Company continues to maintain a full valuation allowance against all of its US and certain foreign net deferred tax assets as of June 30, 2024. The projected annual effective tax rate before certain discrete items as of the second quarter of 2024 is 6.38%, as compared to the projected annual effective tax rate of (3.04)% for the same period in the prior year.
Balance Sheet Activities
Balance sheet amounts at June 30, 2024 compared to December 31, 2023 resulted from typical and usual activities in the normal course of business.
Total assets decreased by approximately $0.3 million primarily due to a $2.1 million reduction in accounts receivable and contract assets due to the billing and collection of outstanding receivables, $1.7 million in depreciation and amortization expense, a $1.3 million reduction in cash and cash equivalents due to payment of trade payables, and a $0.4 million reduction in inventory and other assets. This was partially offset by the capitalization of $4.9 million in property, plant, and equipment and internal-use software assets and a $0.2 million increase in prepaid expenses and other receivables.
Liabilities decreased by approximately $5.3 million due to payment of trade payables of $3.2 million, accrued liabilities of $1.4 million, and debt and lease obligations of $0.4 million, as well as the recognition of deferred revenue of $0.3 million. Equity increased $4.9 million due to a $6.4 million increase in additional paid in capital arising from the sale of shares of common stock and recognition of stock-based compensation, partially offset by a $1.4 million net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2024.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have financed our operations and capital investments through public and private offerings of our common stock, financing arrangements, operating leases, borrowings under a revolving line of credit, and cash flows from operations. In addition to our cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of $23.3 million, as of June 30, 2024, other sources of liquidity included a $20.0 million drawn down from our revolving line of credit ("Revolving Facility") with Heritage Bank of Commerce (“Heritage Bank”), and $3.5 million in net proceeds from the sale of our common stock on March 13, 2024. Costs related to the offering were immaterial. Our restricted cash balance as of June 30, 2024 was $0.1 million and relates to amounts pledged as cash security for the use of credit cards.
On April 28, 2023, we converted accounts receivable for a customer in the amount of approximately $1.16 million to notes receivable (the "Original Note"). At the time, the Original Note bore an interest rate of 3.0% compounded monthly. On June 28, 2023, we cancelled the Original Note and entered into a revised promissory note ("Second Revised Note") with the customer, where the interest rate changed to 4.69% compounded monthly, or a 4.8% effective annual interest rate, accruing from the date of the Original Note. On June 27, 2024, we cancelled the Second Revised Note and entered into a revised promissory note ("Current Note") with the customer, where the interest rate changed to 10.0% per annum. Accrued but unpaid interest will be compounded monthly, accruing from the date of the Current Note. Additionally, if not prepaid prior to the Current Note maturity date of the earlier of (i) 24 months from June 28, 2024 or (ii) the closing of the customer's Series B financing, the principal and all accrued and unpaid interest will be due and payable to us. If an event of default occurs, the interest rate will increase to 15.31%. All other terms of the Note remained the same. As of June 30, 2024, the related note receivable balance was $1.23 million, including $66 thousand in accrued interest.
On March 13, 2024, we entered into common stock purchase agreements with certain institutional investors and their affiliated entities for the sale of an aggregate of 223 thousand shares of common stock, par value $0.001, in a registered direct offering, resulting in net cash proceeds of approximately $3.5 million. Issuance costs related to the offering were negligible. The purchase price for each share of common stock was $16.00. See Note 9 for additional information.
On March 21, 2023, we entered into common stock purchase agreements with certain investors for the sale of an aggregate of 450 thousand shares of common stock, in a registered direct offering pursuant to an effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3, resulting in net cash proceeds of approximately $2.3 million. Issuance costs related to the offering were immaterial. The purchase price for each share of common stock in the Share Placement was $5.14.
We were in compliance with all the Heritage Bank Revolving Facility loan covenants as of June 30, 2024. As of June 30, 2024, we had $20.0 million outstanding on the Revolving Facility with an interest rate of 9.00%.
We currently use our cash to fund our working capital, to accelerate the development of next-generation products, and for general corporate purposes. Based on past performance and current expectations, we believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents, together with $3.5 million gross cash proceeds from the March 13, 2024 financing, our revenues from operations, and the available financial resources from the Revolving Facility with Heritage Bank will be sufficient to fund our operations and capital expenditures and provide adequate working capital for the next twelve months.
Various factors affect our liquidity, including, among others: the level of revenue and gross profit as a result of the cyclicality of the semiconductor industry; the conversion of design opportunities into revenue; market acceptance of existing and new products including solutions based on our ArcticLink® and PolarPro® platforms, ArcticPro™, EOS S3 SoC, Quick AI solution, QuickAI™, SensiML Analytics Toolkit, Eclipse II products, and eFPGA IP license and professional services; fluctuations in revenue as a result of product end-of-life; fluctuations in revenue as a result of the stage in the product life cycle of our customers’ products; costs of securing access to and availability of adequate manufacturing capacity; levels of inventories; wafer purchase commitments; customer credit terms; the amount and timing of research and development expenditures; the timing of new product introductions; production volumes; product quality; sales and marketing efforts; the value and liquidity of our investment portfolio; changes in operating assets and liabilities; the ability to obtain or renew debt financing and to remain in compliance with the terms of existing credit facilities; the ability to raise funds from the sale of equity in the company; the issuance and exercise of stock options and participation in our employee stock purchase plan; and other factors related to the uncertainties of the industry and global economics.
Over the longer term, we anticipate that sales generated from our new product offerings, existing cash and cash equivalents, together with financial resources from our Revolving Facility with Heritage Bank, assuming renewal of the Revolving Facility or us entering into a new debt agreement with an alternative lender prior to the expiration of the revolving line of credit in December 2025, and our ability to raise additional capital in the public capital markets will be sufficient to satisfy our operations and capital expenditures. However, we cannot provide any assurance that we will be able to raise additional capital, if required, or that such capital will be available on terms acceptable to us. The inability to generate sufficient sales from our new product offerings and/or raise additional capital if needed could have a material adverse effect on our operations and financial condition, including our ability to maintain compliance with our lender’s financial covenants.
As of June 30, 2024, most of our cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash were invested in a money market account at Heritage Bank. As of June 30, 2024, our interest-bearing debt consisted of $1.2 million outstanding under notes payable and $20.0 million outstanding under our Revolving Facility. See Note 7, Debt Obligations, to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for more details.
Cash balances held at our foreign subsidiaries were approximately $0.1 million as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. Earnings from our foreign subsidiaries are currently deemed to be indefinitely reinvested. We do not expect such reinvestment to affect our liquidity and capital resources, and we continually evaluate our liquidity needs and ability to meet global cash requirements as a part of our overall capital deployment strategy. Factors that affect our global capital deployment strategy include anticipated cash flows, the ability to repatriate cash in a tax-efficient manner, funding requirements for operations and investment activities, acquisitions and divestitures, and capital market conditions.
In summary, our cash flows were as follows (in thousands):

Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities
For the six months ended June 30, 2024, net cash used in operating activities was $0.1 million, which was primarily due to the net loss of $1.4 million, adjusted for net non-cash charges of $4.3 million, which included $2.5 million of stock-based compensation, $1.7 million in depreciation and amortization expenses, and $0.1 million in ROU asset amortization expenses. Cash outflow from changes in operating assets and liabilities was approximately $2.9 million and was primarily due to decreases in accounts payable and accrued liabilities, partially offset by a decrease in contract assets and accounts receivable.
For the six months ended July 2, 2023, net cash used in operating activities was $0.3 million, which was primarily due to the net loss of $3.5 million, adjusted for net non-cash charges of $2.4 million, which included $1.3 million of stock-based compensation, $0.7 million in depreciation and amortization expenses, $0.2 million in write-downs of inventories, and $0.2 million in ROU asset amortization expenses. Cash inflow from changes in operating assets and liabilities was approximately $0.7 million and was primarily due to increases in accounts receivable and decreases in contract assets, partially offset by decreases in accounts payable and other assets.
Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities
For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and July 2, 2023 cash used in investing activities was $4.5 million and $0.5 million, respectively, which were primarily attributable to the capital expenditures relating to licensed software, capitalized internal-use software, and purchase of specialized semiconductor tooling, which was capitalized.
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities
Cash flows from financing activities include the draw-downs and repayments of our line of credit. For the quarters ended June 30, 2024 and July 2, 2023, these draw-downs and repayments netted to zero.
For the six months ended June 30, 2024, cash provided by financing activities was $3.2 million, which was primarily derived from the net proceeds of $3.7 million from the common stock issuance, partially offset by $0.5 million in payments related to financing arrangements.
For the six months ended July 2, 2023, cash provided by financing activities was $2.2 million and was primarily derived from the net proceeds of $2.4 million from the common stock issuances and borrowings of notes payable of $0.1 million, partially offset by $0.3 million in payments related to financing arrangements.
Part I. Financial Information (continued)
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not maintain any off-balance sheet partnerships, arrangements, or other relationships with unconsolidated entities or others, often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, which are established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Not Applicable.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Based on management's evaluation as of June 30, 2024, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) were effective at the reasonable assurance level to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by us in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q was (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and regulations and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls over financial reporting will prevent all errors and fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
None.
There have been no material changes to the risk factors set forth in our 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the SEC on March 27, 2024, which includes a detailed discussion of our risk factors at Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors, which discussion is hereby incorporated by reference into this Part II, Item 1A.
Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities
None.
Insider Trading Arrangements
