LeCROY CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying interim Consolidated Financial Statements include all the accounts of LeCroy Corporation (the Company or
LeCroy) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. These Consolidated Financial Statements are unaudited and should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Companys Annual Report on Form
10-K for the fiscal year ended July 3, 2010. The accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet as of July 3, 2010 has been derived from those audited Consolidated Financial Statements.

The Companys Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles
(U.S. GAAP), which require management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
Consolidated Financial Statements as well as the revenues and expenses reported during the period. The most significant of these estimates and assumptions relate to revenue recognition, reserves for accounts receivable, allowance for excess and
obsolete inventory, uncertain tax positions, valuation of deferred tax assets, the effective income tax rate and geographical distribution of taxable income, valuation of long-lived assets, share-based compensation expense, estimation of warranty
liabilities and the separation of the convertible notes between debt and equity. These estimates and assumptions are based on managements judgment and available information and, consequently, actual results could differ from these estimates.

These unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature, that are, in the
opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented. Interim period operating results may not be indicative of the operating results for a full year.
Inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

The Companys fiscal years end on the
Saturday closest to June 30, resulting in an extra week of results every five or six years. Fiscal 2010 was a fifty-three week year and, as a result, the two quarters ended January 2, 2010 represented a 27-week period compared to a 26-week
period for the two quarters ended January 1, 2011.

Correction of an immaterial error in the prior period
consolidated financial statements

The Consolidated Balance Sheet as of July 3, 2010 reflects an immaterial
correction of approximately $0.9 million to properly classify the deferred tax asset related to the Companys stock appreciation rights (SARs) as a current asset. The Companys SARs are liability classified awards and are
reflected in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as current liabilities. The Company applied the concepts set forth in Staff Accounting Bulletin 99 (SAB 99) in order to assess materiality with respect to the balance sheet classification
error and determined the impact on prior period financial statements was immaterial. Therefore, the deferred tax asset associated with the awards, which was previously classified as non-current as of July 3, 2010, has been reclassified from
Other non-current assets to Other current assets to follow the current classification of the underlying award.

2. Share-Based Compensation

Total share-based compensation expense recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the quarter ended
January 1, 2011 and January 2, 2010 is approximately $4.2 million and $1.1 million, respectively. For the two quarters ended January 1, 2011 and January 2, 2010, total share-based compensation is approximately $9.1 million and
$2.0 million, respectively.

Approximately 8,100 immediately vested options were granted during the second quarter ended
January 1, 2011, representing an annual grant to the board of directors.

The total intrinsic value of stock options
exercised during the quarter and two quarters ended January 1, 2011 was approximately $0.2 million and $0.3 million, respectively, as compared to approximately zero for the quarter and two quarters ended ended January 2, 2010.

As of January 1, 2011, there was approximately $2.3 million of total unrecognized compensation cost, net of estimated forfeitures,
related to stock options granted under the plans. That cost is expected to be recognized over a remaining weighted-average period of approximately 3.0 years. Approximately $0.1 million and less than $0.1 million of compensation cost was capitalized
in inventory for the quarters ended January 1, 2011 and January 2, 2010. For the two quarters ended January 1, 2011 and January 2, 2010, approximately $0.2 million and less than $0.1 million was capitalized in inventory.

As of January 1, 2011, there was approximately $0.4 million of total unrecognized
compensation cost, net of estimated forfeitures, related to non-vested stock granted under the plans. That cost is expected to be recognized over a remaining weighted-average period of approximately 1.1 years.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP)

As of January 1, 2011 and July 3, 2010, there was approximately $0.1 million and less than $0.1 million, respectively, of
liability classified share-based compensation expense for the ESPP included in Accrued expenses and other current liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Cash Settled Stock Appreciation Rights (SARs)

The Company records
compensation expense ratably over the service period and adjusts for changes in the fair value of SARs at each reporting period. At January 1, 2011, there was approximately $7.2 million of unrecognized compensation cost, net of estimated
forfeitures related to the SARs. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 1.9 years.

The table below presents the assumptions used to remeasure the value of the SARs at each reporting period:

3. Revenue Recognition

LeCroy recognizes product and service revenue, net of allowances for anticipated returns, provided that (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (2) delivery has occurred, (3) the
selling price is fixed or determinable and (4) collection is reasonably assured. Delivery is considered to have occurred when title and risk of loss have transferred to the customer, or when services have been provided. The price is considered
fixed or determinable when it is not subject to refund or adjustments.

Test and measurement products revenue

The Company generates Test and measurement product revenue from the sales of oscilloscopes and application solutions,
protocol analyzers, probes and accessories. All sales of Test and measurement products are recorded as revenue according to the above revenue recognition criteria, net of any applicable sales or value added taxes.

Application solutions, which provide oscilloscopes with additional analysis capabilities, are either delivered via compact disc or are
already loaded in the oscilloscopes and activated via a key code after the sale is made to the customer. No post-contract support is provided on the application solutions. Certain software is embedded in the Companys oscilloscopes, but the
embedded software component is considered incidental.

In October 2009, the FASB issued amendments to the accounting and
disclosure for revenue recognition. These amendments, effective for fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010, modified the criteria for recognizing revenue in multiple element arrangements and the scope of what constitutes a
non-software deliverable. Beginning on July 4, 2010, the Company prospectively applied the new revenue recognition guidance. Under the new guidance, the Companys protocol analyzer products are considered hardware, as the tangible product
contains software components and non- software components that function together to deliver the products essential functionality. These products are excluded from the scope of software revenue recognition guidance and are subject to other
relevant revenue recognition guidance, including the recognition criteria described above. Post-contract support (PCS) is provided on certain protocol analyzers. Under the new guidance, when vendor specific objective evidence
(VSOE) or third party evidence (TPE) for deliverables in an arrangement cannot be determined, a best estimate of the selling price (ESP) is required to separate the deliverable and allocate arrangement
consideration using the relative selling price method. Beginning in fiscal 2011, revenue recognition related to protocol analyzer sales for certain products includes an allocation for PCS, based on managements estimate of relative selling
price, as VSOE is no longer established by the sale of maintenance agreements. Deferred revenue for PCS prior to adopting the new guidance will continue to be recognized, based on its initial deferral period, in accordance with the prospective
adoption guidance. The amendments to the accounting and disclosure for revenue recognition did not have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial position or results of operations, and therefore, did not require enhanced
disclosures.

Revenue recognition requires judgment, including whether an arrangement includes multiple elements, and if so,
whether VSOE, TPE or ESP of fair value exists for those elements. A portion of revenue may be recorded as unearned due to undelivered elements. Changes to the elements in an arrangement, the ability to identify VSOE, TPE or ESP for those elements,
the fair value of the respective elements and changes to a products estimated life cycle could materially impact the amount of earned and unearned revenue. Judgment is also required to assess whether future releases represent new products, upgrades
or enhancements to existing products.

In an effort to provide end-user customers an alternative to purchasing the
Companys higher end products under its standard terms and conditions, the Company offers customers an opportunity to enter into sales-type or direct financing leases for these products. Lease and rental revenues are reported within Test and
measurement product revenue and were approximately $0.1 million and $0.2 million for the quarter and two quarters ended January 1, 2011 as compared to approximately $0.1 million and $0.3 million for the quarter and two quarters ended
January 2, 2010, respectively.

Service and other revenue

Service and other revenue includes extended warranty contracts, repairs and calibrations performed on instruments after the expiration of
their normal warranty period, direct service accessories and packages, payments for research and development activities in accordance with a third party agreement, and software maintenance agreements. The Company records deferred revenue for
extended warranty contracts, software maintenance agreements and calibration services and recognizes such revenue on a straight-line basis over the related service period.

The Company recognized approximately $0.3 million and $0.5 million in other revenue related to a research and development and distribution agreement for each of the quarter and two quarter periods ended
January 1, 2011 and January 2, 2010, respectively. Revenue is being recognized ratably over the three year term of the agreement.

4. Business Realignment and Restructuring Initiatives

Fiscal 2010 Business Realignment

In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010, as a result of changes in the selling organization, the Company recorded severance of approximately $0.1 million, which was expensed to Selling, general and
administrative (SG&A), resulting from headcount reductions of four employees or approximately 1% of the workforce as compared to June 27, 2009. As of January 1, 2011, approximately $0.1 million has been paid in cash and no
liability remains.

In the third quarter of fiscal 2010, as a result of administrative changes, the Company recorded severance
of approximately $0.2 million, which was expensed to Selling, general and administrative (SG&A), resulting from a headcount reduction. As of January 1, 2011, approximately $0.2 million has been paid in cash and no liability
remains.

Fiscal 2009 Restructuring Initiatives

In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009, as a result of the economic downturn and resulting business realignment decisions affecting
personnel in Europe, the Company vacated certain space at its Swiss facility. This resulted in a restructuring charge to SG&A expense of approximately $0.7 million, which represented the present value of the estimated future cash payments, net
of estimated subrental income and expense, through the remainder of the lease term which will expire in the first quarter of Fiscal 2014. As of January 1, 2011, approximately $0.2 million remains in Accrued expenses and other current
liabilities and approximately $0.3 million remains in Deferred revenue and other non-current liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Fiscal 2009 Business Realignment

In the third quarter of fiscal
2009, in an effort to further streamline expenses in response to the dramatic deterioration in economic and market conditions, the Company recorded severance of approximately $2.6 million, of which approximately $0.6 million was expensed to Cost of
revenues, approximately $1.1 million was expensed to SG&A and approximately $0.9 million was expensed to Research and development. This resulted from headcount reductions of sixty-two employees or approximately 13.6% of the workforce as compared
to June 28, 2008. As of January 1, 2011, approximately $2.4 million has been paid in cash, and approximately $0.2 million remains in Accrued expenses and other current liabilities and nearly zero remains in Deferred revenue and other
non-current liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Severance is estimated to be paid by the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2012.

The fair value framework requires the categorization of assets and liabilities into three levels based upon
the assumptions (inputs) used to price the assets or liabilities. Level 1 provides the most reliable measure of fair value, whereas Level 3 generally requires significant management judgment. The three levels are defined as follows:



| |  |  | Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Level 2: Observable inputs other than those included in Level 1. For example, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or
quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in inactive markets.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Level 3: Unobservable inputs reflecting managements own assumptions about the inputs used in pricing the asset or liability.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

12. Debt and Capital Leases

Prior Credit Agreement

The Companys $50.0 million senior, secured,
four-year credit agreement (Prior Credit Agreement) included a $5.0 million swingline loan subfacility and a $5.0 million letter of credit subfacility. The Prior Credit Agreement would have expired on July 15, 2011, unless, in the
absence of any default it was extended by LeCroy to April 1, 2012, contingent on the waiver or extension of the first redemption date of the Companys convertible notes.

Borrowings under the Prior Credit Agreement, bore interest at variable rates, based upon LeCroys senior leverage ratio, equal to,
at the Companys election, (1) the higher of (a) the prime rate or (b) the federal funds rate plus 0.5%, or (c) one-month London Interbank Offering Rate (LIBOR) as defined in the Prior Credit Agreement, plus an
applicable margin of between 1.75% and 2.75%, or (2) LIBOR plus an applicable margin of between 2.75% and 3.75%. The Prior Credit Agreement provided for a LIBOR floor of 1.50% and required the Company to pay commitment fees on unused revolver
borrowings during the term of the Prior Credit Agreement at rates between 0.25% and 0.5% dependent upon its senior leverage ratio.

New Credit Agreement

On July 29, 2010, LeCroy Corporation entered
into an Amended and Restated $50.0 million Senior Secured Credit Agreement (the New Credit Agreement) with the lenders listed therein and Manufacturers and Traders Trust Company, as administrative agent for such lenders. The New Credit
Agreement amends LeCroys Prior Credit Agreement that was entered into on March 30, 2007 and subsequently amended. The terms of the New Credit Agreement provide LeCroy with a $50.0 million revolving credit facility, which includes a $5.0
million swingline loan subfacility and a $5.0 million letter of credit subfacility. LeCroy has the right to increase the total revolving commitment to $60.0 million within the first twenty-four months of the New Credit Agreement upon meeting certain
conditions. The performance by LeCroy of its obligations under the New Credit Agreement is secured by all of the assets of LeCroy and its domestic subsidiaries, and is guaranteed by LeCroys domestic subsidiaries.

The New Credit Agreement will mature on January 1, 2014. However, if a default or event of default exists or is continuing the
maturity date will become July 15, 2011. At the time of expiration all outstanding amounts under the New Credit Agreement will be due and payable. Under certain conditions, the lending commitments under the New Credit Agreement may be
terminated by the lenders and amounts outstanding under the New Credit Agreement may be accelerated.

(UNAUDITED)



Borrowings under the Agreement (except swing line loans) bear interest at variable rates
equal to, at LeCroys election, (a) a rate based on LIBOR or (b) Base Rate, as defined, plus a margin based on the total leverage ratio. Swing line loans bear interest at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin, as defined. In
addition, LeCroy must pay commitment fees during the term of the New Credit Agreement at rates dependent on the Companys leverage ratio.

Subject to complying with applicable covenants, the proceeds of the borrowings under the New Credit Agreement have and will be used to refinance existing debt, including the ability to retire the
outstanding Notes which have a first put or redemption date in October 2011, fund short-term and long-term working capital, for issuance of Letters of Credit and general corporate purposes.

The New Credit Agreement contains, among other things, conditions precedent, affirmative and negative covenants, representations and
warranties and events of default. Negative covenants include certain restrictions or limitations on, among other things, the incurrence of indebtedness; pledges, liens and encumbrances; mergers and acquisitions; loans, advances and investments;
sales of assets and sale leaseback arrangements; and restricted payments, including distributions, dividends, stock repurchases and the repayment of the Convertible notes. The New Credit Agreement prohibits repayment of the Convertible notes until
(i) the total leverage ratio is less than 3.00 to 1.00, (ii) after giving effect to the repurchase the total leverage ratio is less than 3.00 to 1.00 and (iii) LeCroy is in compliance with all of the terms and conditions in the New
Credit Agreement prior to and after giving effect to the repurchase.

The Company is required to comply with certain financial
covenants, measured quarterly, including, as defined: a total leverage ratio, a senior leverage ratio, a minimum consolidated EBITDA, a minimum fixed charge ratio, a maximum capital expenditure, a maximum debt outstanding and a minimum liquidity.
The senior leverage ratio, maximum debt outstanding and minimum liquidity covenants were eliminated under the Second Modification effective January 11, 2011.

First Modification of New Credit Agreement

Effective as of
September 28, 2010, LeCroy entered into a First Modification Agreement to modify the maximum debt outstanding financial covenant of its New Credit Agreement, prior to its removal under the Second Modification effective January 11, 2011.

The Company incurred approximately $0.6 million of financing costs in connection with the New Credit Agreement which will be
deferred and amortized, on a straight line basis, over the term of the New Credit Agreement, along with the remaining unamortized fees associated with the Prior Credit Agreement of approximately $0.2 million. At January 1, 2011, approximately
$0.3 million of deferred financing costs were included in Other current assets and approximately $0.5 million were included in Other non-current assets.

As of January 1, 2011, the Company had no balances outstanding against the credit facility, the letter of credit subfacility or the swingline loan subfacility. As of January 1, 2011, the Company
was in compliance with its financial covenants.

Second Modification of New Credit Agreement

Effective January 11, 2011, the Company entered into a Second Modification Agreement to modify certain terms and provisions of its
New Credit Agreement as described in Note 19  Subsequent Events.

Convertible Notes

On October 12, 2006, the Company sold and issued $72.0 million in convertible senior subordinated notes to qualified
institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Notes). The Notes bear interest at a rate of 4.00% per annum, payable in cash semi-annually in arrears on each April 15 and
October 15. The Notes are direct, unsecured, senior subordinated obligations of the Company and rank: (i) subordinate in right of payment to all of the Companys existing and future secured indebtedness; (ii) equal in right of
payment with all of the Companys existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness, and (iii) senior in right of payment to all of the Companys existing and future subordinated indebtedness. In connection with the issuance and sale
of the Notes, the Company entered into an indenture dated as of October 12, 2006, with U.S. Bank National Association as trustee. The terms of the Notes are governed by the indenture.

The Notes mature on October 15, 2026 unless earlier redeemed, repurchased or
converted. Holders of the Notes will have the right to require the Company to repurchase for cash, all or a portion of their Notes on each of October 15, 2011, October 15, 2016 and October 15, 2021, at a repurchase price equal to
100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, up to but not including, the repurchase date. The Company may, from time to time, at its option repurchase the Notes in the open market. In

approximately $14.55 per share), subject to adjustment as described in the indenture. Upon conversion, the Company will deliver for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes, an amount consisting of cash equal to the lesser of $1,000 and the conversion
value (as defined in the indenture) and, to the extent that the conversion value exceeds $1,000, at the Companys election, cash or shares of Company common stock in respect of the remainder. Prior to September 15, 2026, holders may
convert their notes into cash and shares of the Companys common stock, if any, at the applicable conversion rate, at their option, only under limited circumstances described in the indenture. On or after September 15, 2026, holders may
convert their notes into cash and shares of the Companys common stock, if any, at the applicable conversion price, at the Companys option, at any time prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the maturity
date. Upon conversion of each $1,000 principal amount of the notes, the holder will receive an amount in cash equal to the lesser of (i) $1,000 or (ii) the conversion value, as described in the indenture; if the conversion value exceeds
$1,000 on the conversion date, the Company will also deliver, at the Companys election, cash or common stock or combination of each with a value equal to such excess.

As of January 1, 2011 and July 3, 2010, the market value of the Notes was approximately $30.3 million and $37.5 million, respectively. Fair value is determined through information obtained from
a third party, using the latest available market data.

As of January 1, 2011, approximately $0.2 million of unamortized
fees related to the Notes were included in Other current assets. At July 3, 2010, approximately $0.4 million of unamortized fees were included in Other non-current assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Other

During fiscal 2008, the Company acquired a software license under a capital lease agreement for approximately $0.7 million. The lease
bears interest at 7.75% with a three-year term. During the first quarter of 2011, the Company renewed the software license for approximately $0.8 million. The lease bears interest at 5.25% with a three-year term. As of January 1, 2011,
approximately $0.3 million was included in Accrued expenses and other current liabilities and approximately $0.5 million was included in Deferred revenue and other non-current liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

The Companys Swiss subsidiary has an overdraft facility totaling 1.0 million Swiss francs for which approximately
0.4 million Swiss francs are being held against supplier obligations, leaving an available balance of 0.6 million Swiss francs under this facility at January 1, 2011. The outstanding balance under this facility remains unchanged from
July 3, 2010.

13. Commitments and Contingencies

The Companys contractual obligations and commitments include obligations associated with employee severance agreements, supplier agreements, operating leases, capital leases, revolving credit and
convertible note obligations, as set forth in the Contractual Obligations and Other Commitments table in the Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (MD&A). The Company expensed
approximately $0.7 million and $1.4 million related to operating leases for the quarter and two quarters ended January 1, 2011, respectively, and approximately $0.6 million and $1.2 million for the quarter and two quarters ended January 2,
2010, respectively.

From time to time, the Company is involved in lawsuits, claims, investigations and proceedings,
including, but not limited to, patent, commercial and environmental matters which arise in the ordinary course of business. There are no matters currently pending that the Company expects to have a material adverse affect on its business, results of
operations, financial condition or cash flows.

In November 2010, as resolution to an ongoing matter, the Company entered into
a confidential intellectual property settlement agreement with an entity and several of its employees. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company will receive a series of scheduled payments which will in effect reimburse the Company for legal
expenses incurred related to this matter. As payments become virtually certain to be received, the amounts will be credited against Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. For
the quarter ended January 1, 2011, the Company recorded approximately $0.3 million as a credit to SG&A expenses for the reimbursement of fees and $0.1 million of this amount is included in Other current assets on the Consolidated Balance
Sheet. The $0.1 million was received subsequent to the quarter ended January 1, 2011.

14. Common Stock and Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share (EPS)

On November 9, 2010, the Company closed an underwritten public offering of 2,990,000 shares of its common stock at $8.25 per share,
raising aggregate proceeds of approximately $22.7 million after deducting the underwriting discount of approximately $1.5 million and other offering related expenses of $0.4 million. The Company used $15.5 million of the proceeds from the offering
to repay indebtedness outstanding under the credit facility, in accordance with the provisions of the New Credit Agreement.

The following is a presentation of the numerators and the denominators of the basic and diluted net income (loss) per common share
computations for the quarter and two quarters ended January 1, 2011 and January 2, 2010:

The computations of diluted EPS for the quarters ended January 1, 2011 and January 2, 2010 do not
include approximately 0.7 million and 2.2 million, respectively, of stock options and non-vested stock, as the effect of their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive to EPS. The computations of diluted EPS for the two quarters ended
January 1, 2011 and January 2, 2010 do not include approximately 1.0 million and 2.1 million, respectively, of stock options and non-vested stock, as the effect of their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive to EPS.
Additionally, the convertible notes had no impact on the diluted EPS calculations because the average share price during the periods was below $14.55 per share (the initial conversion price), and accordingly, the Notes, if converted, would have
required only cash at settlement.

15. Employee Benefit Plans

16. Income Taxes

The effective income tax rates for the quarter and two quarters ended January 1, 2011 were 37.4% and 43.3%, respectively, compared to an effective income tax rate of (74.5)% and (14.6)%, for the
quarter and two quarters ended January 2, 2010, respectively. The effective income tax rate for the quarter and two quarters ended January 1, 2011 includes the write-off of deferred tax assets related to equity-based compensation of less
than $0.1 million, and a tax benefit of approximately $0.3 million related to a retroactive reinstatement of the federal research and development tax credit as a result of the Tax Relief, Unemployment Insurance Authorization, and Job Creation Act of
2010 passed into law on December 17, 2010. The effective income tax rate for the quarter and two quarters ended January 2, 2010 includes the write-off of deferred tax assets related to equity-based compensation of approximately $0.1
million and $0.2 million, respectively.

The Company calculates income tax expense based upon an annual effective tax rate
forecast, including estimates and assumptions that could change during the year. The differences between the effective tax rate and the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% principally result from the Companys geographical distribution of
taxable income, state and local taxes, graduated federal tax rate reductions, research tax credits, domestic production activities deductions and non-deductible expenses.

At January 1, 2011, the Companys net U.S. deferred tax assets amounted to approximately $11.5 million. Management has considered the realizability of the deferred tax assets and has concluded
that a domestic valuation allowance of approximately $1.4 million should be recorded, mainly related to certain tax credit carryforwards that are not anticipated to be realized. Although management determined that a valuation allowance was not
required with respect to the remaining net U.S. deferred tax assets, realization of these assets is primarily dependent on achieving the forecast of future taxable income, as well as prudent and feasible tax planning strategies. Based upon the
projections, the domestic net operating loss carryforwards and federal tax credit carryforwards would be fully utilized before expiration.

The Company operates in multiple taxing jurisdictions, both within the United States and outside of the United States, and faces audits from various tax authorities regarding the deductibility of certain
expenses, intercompany transactions, as well as other matters. At January 1, 2011, the total amount of liability for unrecognized tax benefits related to federal, state and foreign taxes and accrued interest was approximately $10.7 million of
which approximately $1.3 million was reflected as a non-current liability and approximately $9.4 million was reflected as a reduction of gross deferred tax assets, all of which would impact the effective tax rate, if recognized.

The Company believes it is reasonably possible that approximately $0.1 million of net unrecognized tax benefits will be recognized during
the next twelve months due to the expiration of the statute of limitations and impact the Companys effective tax rate. However, actual results could differ from those currently anticipated.

The Company recognizes interest and, if applicable, penalties which could be assessed related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax
expense. As of January 1, 2011, the total amount of accrued interest and penalties, before federal and, if applicable, state effect, was approximately $0.1 million.

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S., various states and in foreign jurisdictions. For federal and foreign income tax purposes, the fiscal 2007 through 2010 tax years remain open for
examination by the tax authorities. For state tax purposes, (principally California and New York) fiscal 2006 through 2010 tax years remain open for examination by the tax authorities.

LeCROY CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)

(UNAUDITED)



18. New Accounting Pronouncements

Recent pronouncements adopted

In October 2009, the FASB issued amendments to the accounting and disclosure for revenue recognition. These amendments, effective for fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010, modify the
criteria for recognizing revenue in multiple element arrangements and the scope of what constitutes a non-software deliverable. The Company adopted the guidance in the first quarter of fiscal 2011 and it did not have a material impact on the
Companys consolidated financial position or results of operations. See Note 3, Revenue Recognition for further details.

Recent pronouncement not yet adopted

There have been no accounting
pronouncements recently issued that are expected to materially affect the Companys consolidated financial position or results of operations.

19. Subsequent Events

On January 11, 2011, LeCroy Corporation entered
into a Second Modification of the New Credit Agreement which amends the Companys existing credit facility that was entered into on July 29, 2010 and subsequently amended by the First Modification on September 28, 2010.

Under the Second Modification, certain covenants and terms have been revised. The Company is now required to comply with certain
financial covenants, measured quarterly, including, as defined: a total leverage ratio, a minimum consolidated EBITDA, a fixed charge coverage ratio and maximum capital expenditures. This modification lowers certain interest rates and fees payable
under the New Credit Agreement and includes a provision for a LIBOR floor of 0.375% per annum. The Applicable Rate Margins for borrowings associated with each leverage ratio tier have been lowered from a range of 2.25%-4.25%, to a new range of
1.0%-3.0%. Additionally, the Second Modification amended restrictive covenants that limited the Companys ability to make investments, acquisitions and stock repurchases.

The Company incurred approximately $0.1 million of financing costs in connection with the Second Modification which will be deferred and amortized, on a straight line basis, over the term of the New
Credit Agreement.

|ITEM 2. | MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
|------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (MD&A) should be read in
conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements, Notes, MD&A, Risk Factors and Business Risks included in our Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 3, 2010. Our discussion and analysis is an integral
part of understanding our financial results. Also refer to Basis of Presentation in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Our Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of
our Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and
related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities in the Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes. These estimates and assumptions are based on managements judgment and available information and, consequently, actual
results could differ from these estimates.

The accounting policies that we believe are the most critical to understanding and
evaluating our reported financial results include: revenue recognition; reserves on accounts receivable; allowance for excess and obsolete inventory; uncertain tax positions; valuation of deferred tax assets; the effective income tax rate and
geographical distribution of taxable income; valuation of long-lived assets; share-based compensation expense; estimation of warranty liabilities and the separation of convertible notes between debt and equity.

Fiscal Year

Our fiscal years end on the Saturday closest to June 30, resulting in an extra week of results every five or six years. Fiscal 2010 was a fifty-three week year and, as a result, the two quarters
ended January 2, 2010 represented a 27-week period compared to a 26-week period for the two quarters ended January 1, 2011.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

There have been no accounting
pronouncements recently issued that are expected to materially affect the Companys consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Consolidated Results of Operations

The following table indicates the
percentage of total revenues represented by each item in the Companys Consolidated Statements of Operations for the quarter and two quarters ended January 1, 2011 and January 2, 2010.

Comparison of the Quarter Ended January 1, 2011 and January 2, 2010

Total revenues were approximately $45.0 million for the quarter ended January 1, 2011, compared to $31.0 million for the comparable
prior year period, representing an increase of approximately 45.2%, or $14.0 million, primarily as a result of an increase in sales of Test and measurement products. We have benefited from the surge in the deployment of mobile devices and the
bandwidth utilization of these mobile devices. This surge has driven customer demand for our highest speed oscilloscopes and has positively impacted our sales. Demand and sales for our mid-range oscilloscopes have increased as well, as design
engineers are faced with greater signal integrity challenges when using new devices and working with higher speed standards. Our customers investments in research and development remain strong, as the economic recovery gains momentum in the
technology sector.

Service and other revenues consist primarily of service revenue and maintenance fees. Service and other
revenues were approximately $3.1 million for the quarter ended January 1, 2011, representing an increase of approximately 19.7% or $0.5 million, compared to approximately $2.6 million for the comparable prior year period. The increase was
primarily the result of higher customer demand for ancillary service orders.

Revenues by geographic location expressed in
dollars (in thousands) and as a percentage of total were:

For the quarter ended January 1, 2011, revenues in Europe/Middle East and Asia/Pacific increased due to
unprecedented customer demand, predominantly in Japan and China. The net increase in revenues was slightly offset by a decrease in Americas due to timing of shipments. For the quarter ended January 1, 2011, foreign currency fluctuations
negatively impacted revenue by approximately $0.6 million.

Gross profit for the quarter ended January 1, 2011 was
approximately $27.6 million, or 61.4% gross margin, compared to approximately $18.2 million, or 58.6% gross margin, for the comparable prior year period. The gross margin for the quarter ended January 1, 2011 was positively impacted by
additional operating leverage from higher volumes and favorable product mix, with increased sales of higher margin oscilloscopes. Share-based compensation expense for the quarter ended January 1, 2011 was approximately $0.1 million compared to
less than $0.1 million for the prior comparable period.

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expense
was approximately $15.7 million for the quarter ended January 1, 2011 as compared to approximately $10.2 million for the quarter ended January 2, 2010, representing an increase of approximately 54.8% or $5.6 million. The current quarter
reflects increased selling expenses as a result of new hires and variable selling and marketing expenses incurred to achieve the higher level of sales, slightly offset by the reimbursement of certain legal expenses. Share-based compensation expense
was approximately $3.5 million in the current period as compared to $0.8 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2010, driven by an increase in the fair value of the SARs.

Research and development (R&D) expense was approximately $9.4 million for the quarter ended January 1, 2011, compared to approximately $6.8 million for the comparable prior year
period, an increase of approximately 37.9% or $2.6 million. The increase in R&D was attributable to incremental charges associated with our new products and expenditures for ongoing initiatives. Share-based compensation for the quarter ended
January 1, 2011 and January 2, 2010 was approximately $0.6 million and $0.3 million respectively, and was primarily impacted by the increase in the fair value of the SARs.

Other expense, net, which consists primarily of: losses and gains on the extinguishment of
debt, net of issue cost write-off, interest income and expense, foreign exchange gains and losses and amortization of debt discount on convertible notes was an expense of approximately $2.0 million for the quarter ended January 1, 2011 compared
to an expense of approximately $1.3 million for the second quarter ended January 2, 2010. The increase is predominantly due to an approximate $0.5 million loss incurred on the extinguishment of convertible notes for the quarter ended
January 1, 2011, as we repurchased $10.0 million face value of our outstanding notes, versus a gain of approximately $0.2 million on the extinguishment of convertible notes for the quarter ended January 2, 2010, when we repurchased $2.4
million face value of the outstanding notes. Accounting for the extinguishment of convertible notes requires the application of derecognition guidance where upon repurchase, the fair value of the liability component immediately prior to the
extinguishments is measured first and the difference between the fair value of the aggregate consideration paid and the fair value of the liability component is attributed to the reacquisition of the equity component. The derecognition guidance
resulted in a loss in the consolidated statement of operations that differed from the cash loss, which we measure as the difference between the cash paid and the principal face value amount repurchased. The after-tax impact resulting from the
difference between the cash loss and the accounting loss is approximately $0.2 million. Additionally, there was a net foreign exchange loss of approximately $0.3 million for the quarter ended January 1, 2011 as compared to a net loss of
approximately $0.1 million for the comparable prior period. Net interest expense was approximately $0.6 million for the quarter ended January 1, 2011 as compared to approximately $0.8 million for the comparable prior year period as a result of
a decreased debt position.

Comparison of the Two quarters Ended January 1, 2011 and January 2, 2010

Total revenues were approximately $84.1 million for the two quarters ended January 1, 2011, compared to $59.0 million
for the comparable prior year period, representing an increase of approximately $25.1 million, or 42.6%, primarily due to intense customer demand for high-end and mid-range oscilloscopes. The additional week of sales in our fiscal 2010 year had a
negligible impact on the year-to-date revenue comparisons.

Service and other revenues consist primarily of service revenue
and maintenance fees. Service and other revenues were approximately $5.8 million for the two quarters ended January 1, 2011, representing an increase of approximately 19.9 % or $1.0 million, compared to $4.8 million for the comparable
prior year period. The increase was primarily the result of increased demand for ancillary services in the current period.

For the two quarters ended January 1, 2011, revenues were higher in terms of dollars and percentages in
Europe/Middle East and Asia/Pacific due to increased customer demand. The decrease in terms of dollars and percentages in Americas was attributable to the timing of shipments. For the two quarters ended January 1, 2011, unfavorable foreign
currency fluctuations impacted revenue by approximately $1.0 million.

Gross profit for the two quarters ended January 1,
2011 was approximately $51.0 million, or 60.7% gross margin, compared to $33.8 million, or 57.4% gross margin, for the comparable prior year period. The gross margin for the two quarters ended January 1, 2011 was positively impacted by higher
volumes and favorable product mix, slightly offset by an increase of approximately $0.1 million of share-based compensation expense. The additional week of cost of sales in our fiscal 2010 year had a negligible impact on the year to date gross
profit comparisons.

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expense was approximately $31.1 million for
the two quarters ended January 1, 2011 compared to approximately $19.1 million for the two quarters ended January 2, 2010, representing an increase of approximately $12.0 million or 63%. The increase was mainly attributable to an increase
in stock-based compensation expense of approximately $6.2 million driven by the higher fair value of SARs along with higher selling and marketing expenses incurred as a direct result of the 42.6% increase in sales for the period ended
January 1, 2011 compared to the period ended January 2, 2010. The additional week of SG&A expenses in our fiscal 2010 year had a negligible impact on the year to date SG&A expense comparisons.

Research and development (R&D) expense was approximately $18.0 million for
the two quarters ended January 1, 2011, compared to $13.0 million for the comparable prior year period, an increase of approximately 39.2% or $5.1 million. The increase primarily resulted from costs associated with our new products and an
increase in share-based compensation expense of approximately $0.8 million for the two quarters ended January 1, 2011 versus January 2, 2010, as a result of the higher fair value of the SARs. The additional week of R&D expenses in our
fiscal 2010 year had a negligible impact on the year to date R&D expense comparisons.

Other expense, net, which consists
primarily of: losses and gains on the extinguishment of our convertible notes, net of issue cost write-off, interest income and expense, foreign exchange gains and losses and amortization of debt discount on convertible notes was approximately $3.6
million for the two quarters ended January 1, 2011 compared to approximately $2.5 million for the two quarters ended January 2, 2010, an increase of approximately $1.1 million or 45.4%. The increase is predominantly due to the loss on the
extinguishment of convertible notes, net of issue cost write-off, of approximately $0.5 million for the two quarters ended January 1, 2011 as compared to a net gain of approximately $0.6 million for the prior comparable period when we
repurchased $3.4 million of the outstanding notes. Additionally, foreign currency headwinds contributed to the loss by approximately $0.6 million for the two quarters ended January 1, 2011 compared to approximately $0.3 million in the
comparable prior period. Other expense, net was slightly offset by a decrease in interest expense of approximately $0.2 million to approximately $1.4 million for the two quarters ended January 1, 2011 as compared to approximately $1.6 million
for the two quarters ended January 2, 2010 due to the combined effects of a lower borrowing base and favorable interest rates.

Income Taxes

Our effective income tax rate for the quarter and two
quarters ended January 1, 2011 was 37.4% and 43.3%, respectively, compared to an effective income tax rate of (74.5)% and (14.6)%, for the quarter and two quarters ended January 2, 2010, respectively. Our effective income tax rate for the
quarter and two quarters ended January 1, 2011 includes the write-off of deferred tax assets related to equity-based compensation of less than $0.1 million, and a tax benefit of approximately $0.3 million related to a retroactive reinstatement
of the federal research and development tax credit as a result of the Tax Relief, Unemployment Insurance Authorization, and Job Creation Act of 2010 passed into law on December 17, 2010. Our effective income tax rate for the quarter and two
quarters ended January 2, 2010 includes the write-off of deferred tax assets related to equity-based compensation of approximately $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively.

We calculate income tax expense based upon an annual effective tax rate forecast, including estimates and assumptions that could change
during the year. The differences between our effective tax rate and the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% principally result from our geographical distribution of taxable income, state and local taxes, graduated federal tax rate reductions,
research tax credits, domestic production activities deductions and non-deductible expenses.

Liquidity and Capital
Resources

Cash and cash equivalents at January 1, 2011 were approximately $8.7 million compared to approximately
$7.8 million at July 3, 2010. We have no borrowings outstanding under the existing credit facility and approximately $29.7 million principal outstanding under the Notes at January 1, 2011. The Notes mature on October 15, 2026 unless
earlier redeemed, repurchased or converted. Holders of the Notes will have the right to require us to repurchase for cash all or a portion of their Notes on October 15, 2011, at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal plus accrued and
unpaid interest, if any.

On July 29, 2010, we reached an agreement with our lending partners, M&T Bank, RBS Citizens
Bank and Capital One, to amend and extend our $50 million revolving line of credit through January 2014. We believe the amendment and extension of our credit facility will provide long-term liquidity and position us to augment our internal cash
generation capabilities. The repurchase or retirement of the Notes will be done through a combination of cash generated from operations, working capital and the New Credit Agreement, subject to financial covenants.

Effective September 28, 2010 and January 11, 2011, we modified the New Credit Agreement, resulting in revised covenants and
terms. The modifications, as discussed in Note 12 Debt and Capital Leases and Note 19 Subsequent Events offer less restrictive covenants and improved credit terms.

On November 9, 2010, we completed an underwritten public offering of 2,600,000 shares of our common stock, par value $0.01 per
share. The offering price to the public was $8.25 per share, and the Underwriters purchased shares from us at a price of $7.7385 per share. The Underwriters also exercised their option to purchase 390,000 additional shares. The net proceeds from the
sale of 2,990,000 shares of common stock were approximately $22.7 million, after deducting the underwriters discount and direct offering expenses. We used $15.5 million of proceeds from this offering to repay indebtedness outstanding under our
revolving credit facility.

##### Table of Contents

We believe that our cash and cash equivalents on hand, cash flow expected to be generated by
our operations and availability under our revolving credit line will be sufficient to fund our operations, working capital and capital expenditure requirements for the foreseeable future, as well as repurchase or retire our Notes.

Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities was approximately $7.2 million for the two quarters ended January 1, 2011 compared to net cash provided by operating activities of approximately $5.1 million
in the same period last year. The fiscal 2011 net cash provided by operating activities was attributable to net loss, working capital consumption and deferred income taxes of approximately $1.0 million, $4.7 million and $0.8 million, respectively,
more than offset by share-based compensation expense of approximately $9.1 million, non-cash depreciation and amortization of approximately $2.7 million, debt related amortization of approximately $1.3 million and loss on extinguishment of
convertible notes, net of issue cost write-off, of approximately $0.5 million. The net cash provided by operating activities in fiscal 2010 was in part attributable to working capital contributions of approximately $0.5 million. The fiscal 2010 net
loss of approximately $0.8 million and non-cash gain on extinguishment of convertible notes, net of issue cost write-off of approximately $0.6 million was offset by non-cash depreciation and amortization of approximately $2.7 million, share-based
compensation of approximately $2.0 million and debt related amortization of approximately $1.4 million.

Investing
Activities

Net cash used in investing activities was attributable to the purchase of property, plant and equipment of
approximately $2.6 million for the two quarters ended January 1, 2011 compared to approximately $1.2 million in the comparable prior year period. As a result of our improving financial condition, we have increased discretionary capital spending
which had been significantly impacted by our cost-reduction program initiated in fiscal 2009.

Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities was approximately $4.1 million for the two quarters ended January 1, 2011,
compared to net cash provided by financing activities of approximately $1.1 million in the same period in fiscal 2010. Net cash used in financing activities was primarily due to the repayment of borrowings under the revolving credit line of
approximately $20.5 million, repurchase of convertible notes of approximately $10.2 million and payment of debt issuance costs of approximately $0.6 million in connection with the New Credit Agreement entered into on July 29, 2010 and
subsequent modifications. Net cash used in financing activities was partially offset by proceeds from our stock issuance, net of underwriters discount of approximately $23.1 million, borrowings under our credit line of approximately $3.5
million and proceeds from employee stock purchase and option plans of approximately $0.7 million. Net cash used in financing activities in fiscal 2010 was primarily due to the repurchase of convertible notes of approximately $3.8 million, partially
offset by borrowings of approximately $2.5 million under our line of credit and proceeds from employee stock purchase and option plans of approximately $0.3 million.

|(1) | The Convertible notes mature on October 15, 2026. Holders of the Convertible notes have the right to require the Company to purchase all or a portion of the
Convertible notes on October 15, 2011, which is reflected above. The Convertible notes bear interest at a rate of 4% per annum, payable in cash semi-annually in arrears on each April 15 and October 15. The contractual interest
assumes the Convertible notes principal amount remains unchanged (see Note 12  Debt and Capital Leases).

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not defined under generally accepted accounting principles as applied in the
United States. We define EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest (including the amortization of the debt discount on convertible notes), income taxes and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is EBITDA adjusted for share-based
compensation, business realignment and other, net. Under our New Credit Agreement, we are required to comply with certain financial covenants, including a minimum consolidated EBITDA as such term is defined in that agreement and may differ from the
calculation presented above. We use EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as tools to evaluate our operating performance. We believe that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA provide useful information to management, investors and prospective investors by excluding
certain charges and other amounts that relate to capital structure (affecting interest expense), tax positions (such as the impact of changes in effective tax rate, net operating losses and uncertain tax positions or valuation allowance), the age
and book depreciation of property and equipment (affecting depreciation expense), and share-based compensation. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are included in this presentation to provide management, our investors and prospective investors with an
alternative method for assessing our operating results in a manner that is focused on the performance of our operations and to provide a consistent basis for comparison between periods. We believe EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA when viewed with both our
U.S. GAAP results and the reconciliation to net income (loss) provides a more complete understanding of our business than could otherwise be obtained absent this disclosure. Items excluded from EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, such as interest, income
taxes, depreciation and amortization and share-based compensation, are significant components in understanding our financial performance. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as calculated by us are not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures used
by other companies or terms defined in our New Credit Agreement.

There are material limitations associated with the use of
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not represent and should not be considered as alternatives to net income (loss) as determined by U.S. GAAP. Furthermore, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not necessarily indicate whether cash
flows will be sufficient for cash requirements because the measures do not include reductions for cash payments for our obligation to service our debt, fund our working capital, pay for the exercise of stock appreciation rights, make capital
expenditures and make acquisitions or pay our income taxes; nor are they measures of our profitability because they do not include costs and expenses identified above.

Forward-Looking Information

We discuss expectations regarding our future performance in our annual and quarterly reports, press releases, and other written and oral
statements. These forward-looking statements are based on currently available information, business plans and projections about future events and trends. They are inherently uncertain, and investors must recognize that events could turn
out to be significantly different from our expectations. When used in this Form 10-Q, the words anticipate, believe, estimate, will, plan, intend, expect and similar
expressions identify forward-looking statements. Except as required by federal securities law, we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. When evaluating
our business, the Risk Factors included in Item 1A. of our Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 3, 2010 should be considered in conjunction with all other information included in our filings.



|ITEM 3. | QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

|ITEM 4. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
|------- | -----------------------

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and
Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports we file or submit under
the Exchange Act is (1) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and (2) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial
Reporting

There have been no changes in the Companys internal control over financial reporting (as defined in
Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended January 1, 2011 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION



|ITEM 1. | LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
|------- | -----------------

From
time to time, the Company is involved in lawsuits, claims, investigations and proceedings, including, but not limited to, patent, commercial and environmental matters which arise in the ordinary course of business. There are no matters currently
pending that the Company expects to have a material adverse affect on its business, results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.



|ITEM 1A. | RISK FACTORS
|-------- | ------------

There has
been no material changes with respect to the risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 3, 2010, other than an addition to the risk factor below.

Our common stock price and Convertible notes valuation may be subject to significant fluctuations and volatility.

The market price of our common stock and valuation of our Convertible notes fluctuates significantly. The stock price and Convertible
notes valuation could fluctuate in the future due to a number of factors, some of which are beyond our control. These factors include:



| |  |  | historically low trading volume in our stock and Convertible notes relative to alternative investments;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | announcements of developments related to our business, including additions or departures of key personnel;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | announcements of technological innovations or new products or enhancements by us or our competitors;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | sales by competitors, including sales to our customers;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | sales of common stock into the public market, including those by directors and members of management;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | developments in our relationships with our customers, partners, distributors and suppliers;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | shortfalls or changes from analysts expectations in revenue, gross profits, earnings or losses, or other financial results;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | changes to or discontinuance of our stock or Convertible note repurchase programs;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | regulatory developments;
| | - |  | ------------------------



| |  |  | fluctuations in results of operations;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------



| |  |  | failure to meet our financial obligations and covenants under any loans or financing agreements;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the availability and terms of future financing options, in order to refinance existing debt;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | trends in the seasonality of our sales; and
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------



| |  |  | general conditions in our market or the markets served by our customers.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------

In addition, in recent years the stock market in general and the market for shares of technology stocks in particular have experienced
extreme price fluctuations, which have often been due, in part, to factors other than the operating performance of the affected companies. We cannot ensure that the market price of our common stock and valuation of our Convertible notes will not
decline substantially, or otherwise continue to experience significant fluctuations in the future, including fluctuations that are unrelated to our operating performance.

Such significant fluctuations in our stock price could unexpectedly materially increase or decrease our costs. We have used stock appreciation rights (SARs) as a component of our executive
compensation, as we believe that SARs awards motivate our executives to maximize long-term shareholder value. We record share-based compensation expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations, using the fair value method. We cannot predict the
market value of our common stock at the time of the exercise of these grants, nor the magnitude of cash settlement at any particular time over the terms of these grants. Our SARs, which are classified as liability awards, have been and will continue
to be, re-measured at fair value at each reporting period until all awards are settled. Fluctuations in the fair value of our SARs are recorded as increases or decreases in share-based compensation expense. The volatility of our common stock price
impacts our ability to provide accurate guidance on our future reported financial results, as it drives the fair value of the SARs. To the extent that there are significant fluctuations in our common stock price, the re-measurement of the SARs
liability could have a material impact on our reported results, financial position and cash flows.

The risks described in our
Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the only risks facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition or
operating results.
