Our Direction and Strategy

In today's business environment, we believe that improving productivity and effectively managing digital assets, while controlling operating expenses, has become one of the top priorities for organizations worldwide. At the same time, we believe that the cost and complexity of managing vital information has risen exponentially. As a result of these opposing forces, we believe that many companies find themselves lacking the essential resources and expertise required to adequately manage information across their businesses and they continue to spend a significant portion of their time and money tying isolated islands of data together. Without an effective alternative to mitigate the cost and complexity of traditional approaches, their data simply cannot be effectively shared and sufficiently protected. We provide solutions designed to deliver enterprise features with the simplicity that allows organizations to reduce the cost of managing and protecting their information. Our comprehensive data storage and protection solutions are designed to enable IT managers to easily and cost effectively share and preserve critical and non-critical data across their organizations and to provide continuous access, replication for disaster recovery, and reduced backup windows for improved business continuity. Our direction is to extend our current products beyond the data center and distributed enterprise into cloud capabilities and mobile devices.

Our Products and Services

Customers

Our solution-focused product offerings are designed specifically for SMEs, SMBs, and distributed enterprises. We sell our products through our worldwide distributor and reseller network.

Table of Contents

All of our products and services are designed and manufactured to address enterprise customer requirements and reliability standards. The following provides additional detail on our channels:

•

Distribution channel — Our primary distribution partners in North America include Promark Technology, Synnex Corporation, and Ingram Micro Inc. We have approximately 35 distribution partners throughout Europe and Asia. We sell through a two-tier distribution model where distributors sell our products to system integrators, VARs or DMRs, who in turn sell to end users. We support these distribution partners through our dedicated field sales force and field engineers. In fiscal 2013, one distribution partner accounted for more than 10% of net revenue. No distribution partners accounted for more than 10% of net revenue for fiscal 2012.

•

Reseller channel — Our reseller channel includes systems integrators, VARs and DMRs. Our resellers frequently package our products as part of a complete data processing system or with other storage devices to deliver a complete storage subsystem. Our resellers sometimes recommend our products as replacement solutions when backup systems are upgraded or bundle our products with storage management software specific to the end user's system. We support the reseller channel through our dedicated field sales representatives, field engineers and technical support organizations.

We divide our worldwide sales into three geographical regions:


•	the Americas, consisting of North America and South America;


•	EMEA, consisting of Europe, the Middle East and Africa; and


•	APAC, consisting of Asia Pacific countries.

We support our customers in the Americas primarily from our San Diego, California and San Jose, California locations. We support our EMEA customers through our wholly-owned subsidiaries located in Wokingham, England; Paris, France; and Munich, Germany. Each of these subsidiaries provides sales and technical support. Our subsidiary in England also provides repair services. We support our APAC customers from Singapore and South Korea. We grant our distributors the nonexclusive right to sell our products in a country or group of countries.

Sales to customers outside of the United States represent a significant portion of our sales and international sales are subject to various risks and uncertainties. See “Our international operations are important to our business and involve unique risks” under the heading “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of this report. Sales generated by our European channel generally show seasonal slowing during our first fiscal quarter (July through September), reflecting the summer holiday period in Europe.

Research and Development

We incurred research and development costs of $6.5 million and $8.1 million in fiscal 2013 and 2012, representing 13.6% and 13.7% of net revenue, respectively. In fiscal 2013, we continued to augment our product lines by expanding our hardware platforms and feature enhancements to our software. Noteworthy product releases for fiscal 2013 included the SnapSAN^™ S3000, SnapSAN^™S5000, and SnapScale X2^™. Our plans for fiscal 2014 include enhancements across all of our product lines. Particular areas of focus are the introduction of the next generation Scale-out NAS products, cloud capabilities and enterprise storage software.

Manufacturing and Suppliers

We perform product assembly, integration and testing at our manufacturing facility in San Diego, California. We purchase servers, tape drives, chassis, printed circuit boards, integrated circuits, and all other major components from outside suppliers. We carefully select suppliers based on their ability to provide quality parts and components which meet technical specifications and volume requirements. We actively monitor these suppliers but we are subject to substantial risks associated with the performance of our suppliers. For certain components, we qualify only a single source, which magnifies the risk of shortages and decreases our ability to negotiate with that supplier. See “If our suppliers fail to meet our manufacturing needs, it would delay our production and our product shipments to customers and negatively affect our operations” under the heading “Risk Factors” in Part I, Section 1A of this report.

Table of Contents

Backlog

We manufacture our products based on a combination of our forecast of customer demand and specific order requirements. Orders are generally placed by customers on an as-needed basis. A substantial portion of our products are sold on the basis of standard purchase orders that are cancelable prior to shipment without penalty. We ship most of the backlog that we accumulate during any particular fiscal quarter in the same quarter in which the backlog initially occurs. Therefore, our backlog generally grows during each fiscal quarter and shrinks during the latter part of the quarter to reach its lowest levels at the end of that same quarter, by which time shipments have occurred. As a result, our backlog as of the end of any fiscal quarter is not expected to be material and is not a predictor of future sales.

Competition

The worldwide storage market is highly competitive. Competitors vary in size from small start-ups to large multi-national corporations which may have substantially greater financial, research and development and marketing resources. In the tape automation market, we believe our primary competitors are Dell Inc. (“Dell”), Hewlett-Packard Company (“HP”), Spectra Logic and Quantum Corporation. Key competitive factors include product features, reliability, durability, scalability and price. Barriers to entry in tape automation are relatively high.

Our primary disk-based platform competitors are EMC Corporation (both branded EMC and Iomega division), NetGear, Inc., NetApp, Inc., HP, International Business Machines Corporation (“IBM”), and Dell. Key competitive factors in these markets include performance, functionality, scalability, availability, interoperability, connectivity, time to market enhancements and total value of ownership. Barriers to entry for disk-based backup products are low.

The markets for all of our products are characterized by significant price competition and we anticipate that our products will continue to face price pressure.

Proprietary Rights

General — We presently hold 36 United States patents and we have 19 United States patents pending. In general, these patents have a 20-year term from the first effective filing date for each patent. The patents that are material to our business will begin to expire in November 2015. We also hold a number of foreign patents and patent applications for certain of our products and technologies. These rights, however, may not prevent competitors from developing products substantially equivalent or superior to our products. In addition, our present and future patents may be challenged, invalidated or circumvented, reducing or eliminating our proprietary protection. We continue to be diligent about maintaining our patent portfolio and monitoring potential infringement of our patents.

Employees

As of June 30, 2013, we had 176 full-time employees and 2 part-time employees, including 75 in sales and marketing, 28 in research and development, 50 in manufacturing and operations and 25 in finance, information systems, human resources and other management. There are no collective bargaining contracts covering any of the employees and we believe that our relationship with our employees is good.

Financial Information about Segments and Geographic Areas

We operate our business in one reportable segment. For information about our net revenue by product, and net revenue and long-lived assets broken down by geographic area, see Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements and refer to “Information about Products and Services” and “Information about Geographic Areas”.

Recent Developments

•

In July 2013, we entered into a supply agreement, and a technology license agreement, with Sphere 3D Corporation (“Sphere 3D”). As consideration for the transactions contemplated by the technology license agreement, we paid Sphere 3D $250,000 in cash and issued Sphere 3D 213,220 shares of our common stock with a value at the time of issuance of approximately $250,000. In July 2013, as partial payment under the supply agreement, Sphere 3D issued 769,231 common shares to us at $0.65 CAD, or approximately $0.63, with a value as of the date of issuance equal to approximately $0.5 million. In connection with this transaction, Eric Kelly, our President and Chief Executive Officer, was appointed the chairman of the board of directors of Sphere 3D. Mr. Kelly was also awarded an option to purchase up to 850,000 shares of common stock of Sphere 3D with an exercise price of $0.65 CAD, or approximately $0.63, which we believe represents approximately 5% of Sphere 3Ds outstanding shares.


•	In August 2013, we amended our Silicon Valley Bank credit facility to, among other things, extend the maturity date to August 7, 2015 and add a separate credit line of $750,000 for letters of credit, foreign exchange contracts and cash management, which is in addition to the existing $8.0 million revolving line of credit.


•	In September 2013, we announced that Lisa Loe joined us as Vice President of Worldwide Sales.

•

In September 2013, we released our SnapScale X4, a clustered NAS solution that is designed to provide a high-density solution to more efficiently manage growing amounts of unstructured data. The SnapScale X4 unifies NAS and iSCSI storage volumes under one global namespace helping enterprises strike the balance between storage capacity and return on investment, while still maintaining the ability to expand.

Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently consider immaterial may also impair our business operations. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business and financial results could be harmed. In that case the trading price of our common stock could decline.

Our cash and other sources of liquidity may not be adequate to fund our operations for the next 12 months. If we raise additional funding through sales of equity or equity-based securities, your shares will be diluted. If we need additional funding for operations and we are unable to raise it, we may be forced to liquidate assets and/or curtail or cease operations.

We have projected that cash on hand, combined with available borrowings under our credit facility, will be sufficient to allow us to continue operations for the next 12 months. Significant changes from our current forecasts, including, but not limited to: (i) shortfalls from projected sales levels, (ii) unexpected increases in product costs, (iii) increases in operating costs and/or (iv) changes to the historical timing of collecting accounts receivable could have a material adverse impact on our ability to access the level of funding necessary to continue our operations at current levels. If any of these events occur or if we are not able to secure additional funding, we may be forced to make further reductions in spending, extend payment terms with suppliers, liquidate assets where possible and/or suspend or curtail planned programs. Any of these actions could materially harm our business, results of operations and future prospects.

We may seek debt, equity or equity-based financing (such as convertible debt) when market conditions permit. Such financing may not be available on favorable terms, or at all. If we need additional funding for operations and are unable to raise it through debt or equity financings, we may be forced to liquidate assets and/or curtail or cease operations. If we raise additional funds by selling additional shares of our capital stock, or securities convertible into shares of our capital stock, the ownership interest of our existing shareholders will be diluted. The amount of dilution could be increased by the issuance of warrants or securities with other dilutive characteristics, such as anti-dilution clauses or price resets.

We urge you to review the additional information about our liquidity and capital resources in the “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” section of this report. If we cease to continue as a going concern due to lack of available capital or otherwise, you may lose your entire investment in our company.

We may not have sufficient funds to repay our convertible notes when due and the conversion of the notes or additional payments of interest on the notes in shares may cause dilution to our existing shareholders.

In February 2013, we sold convertible notes in an aggregate original principal amount of $13.25 million to investors in a private placement and the notes are scheduled to mature in February 2017. In the event we are unable to repay the notes when due or extend the notes, we may be unable to continue our business operations. If we are unable to repay the notes when required, the note holders could commence legal action against us to recover the amounts due. Additionally, the notes are convertible into 10,192,304 shares of common stock at an initial conversion price of $1.30 per share and automatically convert into shares of common stock upon the occurrence of certain events. The notes provide that we may pay interest on the notes in cash or in shares of common stock at our option and at any time certain note holders collectively hold 20% or more of the then-outstanding common stock, those holders will have the option to determine whether the applicable interest payment payable to such holders is payable in cash or shares of common stock. In June 2013, we elected to pay interest on the notes in shares of common stock, which also resulted in a downward adjustment to the exercise price of certain of our outstanding warrants and an increase in the number of shares issuable upon exercise of such warrants. As a result, we will receive less proceeds from the exercise of those warrants, if any. The conversion of the notes or the additional issuance of shares of common stock as payment of interest on the notes could cause substantial dilution to our shareholders.

We have a history of net losses. We expect to continue to incur net losses for some time and we may not achieve or maintain profitability.

We have incurred significant operating losses in our last eight fiscal years and we anticipate continued losses during fiscal 2014. As of June 30, 2013, we had an accumulated deficit of $132.4 million. To return to profitability we will need to maintain or increase revenue, increase gross profit margins and improve our operating model. We may also need to implement additional cost reduction efforts across our operations as discussed below.

Our financial condition and the “going concern” opinion from our independent registered public accounting firm may negatively impact our business.

As a result of our recurring losses from operations and negative cash flows, the report from our independent registered public accounting firm regarding our consolidated financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2013 includes an explanatory paragraph expressing substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Such report, and our financial condition and history of net losses, could cause current or potential customers to defer new orders with us or to select other suppliers, and may cause suppliers to require terms that are unfavorable to us.

Our business may be harmed if growth in the storage market declines.

Our industry has experienced significant historical growth due to the continuing increase in the demand for storage by consumers, enterprises and government bodies around the world, and our customers' purchases of storage solutions to address this demand. While information technology (“IT”) spending has fluctuated periodically due to technology transitions and changing economic and business environments, overall growth in demand for storage has continued. Recent technology trends, such as the emergence of hosted (or “cloud”) storage, software as a service (“SaaS”) and mobile data access are driving significant changes in storage architectures and solution requirements. The impact of these trends on overall long-term growth patterns is uncertain. Nevertheless, if the general level of historic industry growth, or if the growth of the specific markets in which we compete, were to decline, our business and results of operations could suffer.

We may need to implement additional cost reduction efforts across our operations.

There can be no assurance that our cost reduction efforts will be successful and we may need to implement additional cost reduction initiatives, such as further reductions in the cost of our workforce and/or suspending or curtailing planned programs, either of which could materially harm our business, results of operations and future prospects.

We rely on indirect sales channels to market and sell our branded products. Therefore, the loss of, or deterioration in, our relationship with one or more of our distributors or resellers could negatively affect our operating results.

We sell all of our branded products through our network of distributors, VARs and DMRs, who in turn sell our products to end users. In fiscal 2013, we had one distributor that accounted for more than 10% of our sales. In fiscal 2012, we had no distributors that accounted for more than 10% of our sales. The long-term success of any of our distributors or resellers is difficult to predict, and we have no purchase commitments or long-term orders from any of them to assure us of any baseline sales through these channels. Most of our distributors and resellers also carry competing product lines that they may promote over our products. A distributor or reseller might not continue to purchase our products or market them effectively, and each determines the type and amount of our products that it will purchase from us and the pricing of the products that it sells to end user customers. Our operating results could be adversely affected by a number of factors, including, but not limited to:


•	a change in competitive strategy that adversely affects a distributor's or reseller's willingness or ability to stock and distribute our products;


•	the reduction, delay or cancellation of orders or the return of a significant amount of our products;


•	the loss of one or more of our distributors or resellers; and


•	any financial difficulties of our distributors or resellers that result in their inability to pay amounts owed to us.

If our suppliers fail to meet our manufacturing needs, it would delay our production and our product shipments to customers and negatively affect our operations.

Our products have a large number of components and subassemblies produced by outside suppliers. We depend greatly on these suppliers for items that are essential to the manufacture of our products, including tape drives, printed circuit boards and integrated circuits. We work closely with our regional, national and international suppliers, which are carefully selected based on their ability to provide quality parts and components that meet both our technical specifications and volume requirements. For certain items, we qualify only a single source, which magnifies the risk of shortages and decreases our ability to negotiate with that supplier on the basis of price. From time to time, we have been unable to obtain as many drives as we have needed due to drive shortages or quality issues from certain of our suppliers. If our suppliers fail to meet our manufacturing needs, it would delay our production and our product shipments to customers and negatively affect our operations.

Table of Contents

We have granted security interests over certain of our assets in connection with various debt arrangements.

We have granted security interests over certain of our assets in connection with our credit facility and we may grant additional security interests to secure future borrowings. If we are unable to satisfy our obligations under these arrangements, we could be forced to sell certain assets that secure these loans, which could have a material adverse effect on our ability to operate our business. In the event we are unable to maintain compliance with covenants set forth in these arrangements or if these arrangements are otherwise terminated for any reason, it could have a material adverse effect on our ability to access the level of funding necessary to continue operations at current levels. If any of these events occur, management may be forced to make further reductions in spending, further extend payment terms with suppliers, liquidate assets where possible, and/or suspend or curtail planned programs. Any of these actions could materially harm our business, results of operations and future prospects.

Our success depends on our ability to anticipate rapid technological changes and develop new and enhanced products.

As an advanced technology company, we are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties characterized by rapid technological change and intense competition. Our future success will depend on our ability to anticipate changes in technology, and to develop, introduce, manufacture and achieve market acceptance of new and enhanced products on a timely and cost-effective basis.

Development schedules for technology products are inherently uncertain. We may not meet our product development schedules, and development costs could exceed budgeted amounts. Our business, results of operations, financial position and liquidity may be materially and adversely affected if the products or product enhancements that we develop are delayed or not delivered due to developmental problems, quality issues or component shortage problems, or if our products or product enhancements do not achieve market acceptance or are unreliable. We or our competitors will continue to introduce products embodying new technologies, such as new sequential or random access mass storage devices. In addition, new industry standards may emerge. Such events could render our existing products obsolete or not marketable, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial position and liquidity.

We face intense competition and price pressure, and many of our competitors have substantially greater resources than we do.

The worldwide storage market is intensely competitive. A number of manufacturers of tape- and disk-based storage solutions compete for a limited number of customers. In addition, barriers to entry are relatively low in these markets. Some of our competitors have substantially greater financial and other resources, larger research and development staffs, and more experience and capabilities in manufacturing, marketing and distributing products. Ongoing pricing pressure could result in significant price erosion, reduced profit margins and loss of market share, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial position and liquidity.

Our business is highly dependent on the continued market acceptance and usage of tape-based systems for data backup and recovery.

We have historically derived a majority of our revenue from products that use magnetic tape drives for backup and recovery of digital data. Our tape-based storage solutions now compete directly with other storage technologies, such as hard disk drives, and may face competition in the future from other emerging technologies. The prices of hard disk drives continue to decrease as their capacity and performance increase. We expect our tape-based products to face increased competition from these alternative technologies and come under increasing pricing pressure. If our strategy to compete in disk-based markets does not succeed, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial position and liquidity.

Table of Contents

If our revenue base continues to decline, we may choose to discontinue or exit some or a substantial portion of our current operations.

Our management team continually reviews and evaluates our product portfolio, operating structure and markets to assess the future viability of our existing products and market positions. We may determine that the infrastructure and expenses necessary to sustain an existing product offering are greater than the potential contribution margin that we would realize. As a result, we may determine that it is in our best interest to exit or divest one or more existing product offerings, which could result in costs incurred for exit or disposal activities and/or impairments of long-lived assets. Moreover, if we do not identify other opportunities to replace discontinued products or operations, our revenues would decline, which could lead to further net losses and adversely impact the market price of our common stock.

Our ability to compete depends in part on our ability to protect our intellectual property rights.

We rely on a combination of patent, copyright, trademark, trade secret and other intellectual property laws to protect our intellectual property rights. However, these rights may not prevent competitors from developing products that are substantially equivalent or superior to our products. To the extent that we have or obtain patents, such patents may not afford meaningful protection for our technology and products. Others may challenge our patents and, as a result, our patents could be narrowed, invalidated or declared unenforceable. The patents that are material to our business will begin to expire in November 2015. In addition, our current or future patent applications may not result in the issuance of patents in the United States or foreign countries. The laws of certain foreign countries may not protect our intellectual property to the same extent as U.S. laws. Furthermore, competitors may independently develop similar products, duplicate our products or, if patents are issued to us, design around these patents.

In order to protect or enforce our patent rights, we may initiate interference proceedings, oppositions, or patent litigation against third parties, such as infringement suits. Such enforcement efforts could be expensive and divert management's time and attention from other business concerns. The patent position of information technology firms in particular is highly uncertain, involves complex legal and factual questions, and continues to be the subject of much litigation. No consistent policy has emerged from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office or the courts regarding the breadth of claims allowed or the degree of protection afforded under information technology patents.

In August and October 2010, we filed patent infringement lawsuits in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California and United States International Trade Commission (“ITC”), respectively, against various parties. Both lawsuits claim infringement of two of our U.S. Patents, Nos. 6,328,766 and 6,353,581.

In November 2012, the full Commission issued an opinion that did not revisit the Chief Administrative Law Judge's conclusion that BDT's customers directly infringe every asserted claim of U.S. Patent No. 6,328,766, and affirmed the validity of the asserted claims of U.S. Patent No. 6,353,581. The Commission remanded certain aspects of the Chief Administrative Law Judge's validity findings for U.S. Patent No. 6,328,766. In March 2013, the Chief Administrative Law Judge of the ITC issued a public notice of the Remand Initial Determination. The Remand Initial Determination held that there is no infringement of certain claims of U.S. Patent No. 6,353,581, and that the six asserted claims of U.S. Patent No. 6,328,766 are invalid as anticipated. In May 2013, the ITC granted in part our request to review the Remand Initial Determination, and reviewed the findings that BDT's FlexStor II^® product line does not infringe one claim of U.S. Patent No. 6,353,581, and that the asserted

Table of Contents

claims of U.S. Patent No. 6,328,766 are invalid as anticipated. See “Item 3. Legal Proceedings” for additional information on the patent litigation lawsuits.

In June 2012, we filed five additional patent infringement lawsuits in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California against seven companies. In February 2013, we filed a joint motion to dismiss our case against one of the seven companies. See “Item 3. Legal Proceedings” for additional information on these patent litigation lawsuits.

In August 2012, Quantum Corporation (“Quantum”) filed counterclaims against us in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California action, alleging trademark infringement and unfair competition claims, and infringement of U.S. Patent Nos. 5,491,812, 6,542,787, 6,498,771 and 5,925,119 by our products. In April 2013, Quantum filed a complaint against us in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California alleging infringement of U.S. Patent No. 7,263,596 by our products. Quantum is seeking monetary damages from us and injunctive relief.

In May 2013, Safe Storage LLC (“Safe Storage”), a Delaware limited liability company, filed a complaint against us in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware alleging infringement of U.S. Patent No. 6,978,346 by our products. Safe Storage is seeking monetary damages from us and injunctive relief.

We could incur charges for excess and obsolete inventory.

The value of our inventory may be adversely affected by factors that affect our ability to sell the products in our inventory. Such factors include changes in technology, introductions of new products by us or our competitors, the current or future economic downturns, or other actions by our competitors. If we do not effectively forecast and manage our inventory, we may need to write off inventory as excess or obsolete, which adversely affects cost of sales and gross profit. We have previously experienced, and may in the future experience, reductions in sales of older generation products as customers delay or defer purchases in anticipation of new products that we or our competitors may introduce. We have established reserves for slow moving or obsolete inventory. These reserves, however, may prove to be inadequate, which would result in additional charges for excess or obsolete inventory.

Our warranty reserves may not adequately cover our warranty obligations.

We have established reserves for the estimated liability associated with our product warranties. However, we could experience unforeseen circumstances where these or future reserves may not adequately cover our warranty obligations. For example, the failure or inadequate performance of product components that we purchase could increase our warranty obligations beyond these reserves.

The failure to attract, hire, retain and motivate key personnel could have a significant adverse impact on our operations.

Our business is dependent on our ability to attract, hire, retain and motivate talented, highly skilled personnel. Achieving this objective may be difficult due to many factors, including competition for such highly skilled personnel; fluctuations in global economic and industry conditions; changes in our management or leadership; competitors' hiring practices; and the effectiveness of our compensation programs. Additionally, we have experienced a prolonged period of operating losses and declines in our stock price and cash position, which have affected and may continue to affect employee morale and retention. Turnover, particularly among senior management, may also create distractions as we search for replacement personnel, which could result in significant recruiting, relocation, training and other costs, and can cause operational inefficiencies as replacement personnel become familiar with our business and operations. In addition, manpower in certain areas may be constrained, which could lead to disruptions over time. We cannot guarantee that we will successfully attract or retain the management we need, or be able to maintain an optimal workforce size. Any inability to attract, hire, retain or motivate such personnel or to address manpower constraints could materially adversely affect our results of operations, financial position or cash flows. We do not currently maintain any key-man insurance for any of our employees.

Our financial results may fluctuate substantially for many reasons, and past results should not be relied on as indications of future performance.

The markets that we serve are volatile and subject to market shifts that we may be unable to anticipate. A slowdown in the demand for workstations, mid-range computer systems, networks and servers could have a significant adverse effect on the demand for our products in any given period. In the past, we have experienced delays in the receipt of purchase orders and, on occasion, anticipated purchase orders have been rescheduled or have not materialized due to changes in customer requirements. Our customers may cancel or delay purchase orders for a variety of reasons, including, but not limited to, the rescheduling of new product introductions, changes in our customers' inventory practices or forecasted demand, general economic conditions affecting our customers' markets, changes in our pricing or the pricing of our competitors, new product announcements by us or others, quality or reliability problems related to our products, or selection of competitive products as alternate sources of supply. In particular, our ability to forecast sales to distributors, VARs and DMRs is especially limited because these customers typically provide us with relatively short order lead times or are permitted to change orders on short notice. Because a large portion of our sales is generated by our European channel, our first fiscal quarter (July through September) results of operations are often impacted by seasonally slow European orders, reflecting the summer holiday period in Europe. None of our customers is obligated to purchase a specific amount of our products.

Our financial results have fluctuated and will continue to fluctuate quarterly and annually based on, among others, the following factors:


•	changes in customer mix;


•	increases in the cost of, or limitations on, the availability of materials;


•	fluctuations in average selling prices;


•	changes in product mix;


•	increases in costs and expenses associated with the introduction of new products; and


•	currency exchange fluctuations.

We therefore believe that our revenue and operating results will continue to fluctuate, and that period-to-period comparisons are not necessarily meaningful and should not be relied on as indications of future performance. Our revenue and operating results may fail to meet the expectations of public market analysts or investors, which could have a material adverse effect on the price of our common stock. In addition, portions of our expenses are fixed and difficult to reduce if our revenues do not meet our expectations. These fixed expenses magnify the adverse effect of any revenue shortfall.

We are in the process of replacing our enterprise resource planning (“ERP”) system. This will be expensive and may be disruptive to our business.

Our ERP system is 16 years old, and we are in the process of replacing it. Transitioning to a new ERP system will be expensive and time consuming, and our business and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected if problems occur during the transition. In addition, we have modified our current ERP system significantly during its term of use and it is possible that we will experience a significant system failure before we replace it. Any such failure may materially and adversely affect our business, liquidity, results of operations and financial position.

Table of Contents

Our international operations are important to our business and involve unique risks.

Sales to customers outside of the United States represent a significant portion of our total sales and we expect them to continue to do so. Our future results could be materially adversely affected by a variety of political, economic or other factors relating to our operations outside the United States, including impacts from the global macroeconomic environment and continuing challenges in Europe, any or all of which could have a material adverse effect on our operating results and financial condition, including, but not limited to, the following:


•	the worldwide impact of the recent global economic downturn and related market uncertainty, including the ongoing European economic and financial turmoil related to sovereign debt issues in certain countries;


•	the imposition of governmental controls mandating compliance with various foreign and U.S. export laws;


•	currency exchange fluctuations;


•	weak economic conditions in foreign markets;


•	political or social unrest;


•	economic instability or weakness in a specific country or region;


•	environmental and trade protection measures and other legal and regulatory requirements;


•	health or similar issues, such as pandemic or epidemic or natural disasters;


•	trade restrictions, tariffs and taxes;


•	longer payment cycles typically associated with international sales; and


•	difficulties in staffing and managing international operations.

Furthermore, we may be unable to comply with changes in foreign laws, rules and regulations applicable to us in the future, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial position and liquidity.

We are subject to exchange rate risk in connection with our international operations.

We do not currently engage in foreign currency hedging activities and, therefore, we are exposed to some level of currency risk. While essentially all of our sales in international markets are denominated in U.S. dollars, our wholly-owned subsidiaries in the United Kingdom, France and Germany incur costs that are denominated in local currencies. As exchange rates vary, these results when translated into U.S. dollars may vary from expectations and adversely impact overall expected results. A weaker U.S. dollar would result in an increase to revenue and expenses upon consolidation, and a stronger U.S. dollar would result in a decrease to revenue and expenses upon consolidation.

We have made a number of acquisitions in the past and we may make acquisitions in the future. The failure to successfully integrate acquisitions and successfully complete product development and launch of the related products could harm our business, financial condition and operating results.

We have in the past and may in the future make acquisitions of complementary businesses, products or technologies as we implement our business strategy. Mergers and acquisitions involve numerous risks, including liabilities that we may assume from the acquired company, difficulties in completion of in-process product development and assimilation of the operations and personnel of the acquired business, the diversion of management's attention from other business concerns, risks of entering markets in which we have no direct prior experience, and the potential loss of key employees of the acquired business.

Future mergers and acquisitions by us also may result in dilutive issuances of our equity securities and the incurrence of debt, amortization expense and potential impairment charges related to intangible assets. Any of these factors could adversely affect our business, liquidity, results of operations and financial position.

The market price of our common stock is volatile.

The market price of our common stock has experienced significant fluctuations since it commenced trading in February 1997, and may continue to fluctuate significantly in the future. Many factors could cause the market price of our common stock to fluctuate, including, but not limited to:


•	our ability to meet our working capital needs;


•	announcements concerning us, our competitors, our customers or our industry;


•	changes in earnings estimates by analysts;


•	purchasing decisions of significant customers;


•	quarterly variations in operating results;


•	the introduction of new technologies or products by us or our competitors;


•	changes in product pricing policies by us or our competitors;


•	the terms of any financing arrangements we enter into; and


•	changes in general economic conditions.

In addition, stock markets have generally experienced extreme price and volume volatility in recent years. This volatility has had a substantial effect on the market prices of securities of many smaller public companies for reasons frequently unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of the specific companies. These broad market fluctuations may adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

If our common stock is delisted from the NASDAQ Capital Market, our business, financial condition, results of operations and stock price could be adversely affected, and the liquidity of our stock and our ability to obtain financing could be impaired.

On January 2, 2013, we received a notice from The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC stating that for the last 30 consecutive business days our common stock had not maintained a minimum market value of listed securities, or MVLS, of $35 million as required for continued listing on the NASDAQ Capital Market under NASDAQ Listing Rule 5550(b)(2). In accordance with NASDAQ Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(C), we had 180 calendar days, or until July 1, 2013, to regain compliance with the MVLS requirement. On July 2, 2013, we received the expected written notification from The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC of the Staff's decision to delist our securities from the NASDAQ Capital Market as a result of our failure to comply with the minimum MVLS requirement. To regain compliance with such rule, the MVLS (which is determined based on the closing bid price of our common stock on the NASDAQ Capital Market) would have had to have been at least $35 million for ten consecutive trading days during the period from January 2, 2013 through July 1, 2013. Based on the number of shares of common stock outstanding as of June 27, 2013, the MVLS would have exceeded $35 million if such closing bid price was at least $1.17 per share for the ten trading day period referred to above. We timely requested an appeal before the NASDAQ Listing Qualifications Panel, or the Panel, to seek continued listing pending our return to compliance with the minimum MVLS requirement under NASDAQ Listing Rule 5550(b)(2) and the delisting was stayed pending a decision by the Panel. The hearing was held on August 8, 2013. On September 17, 2013, the Panel granted our request to continue the listing of our common stock on the NASDAQ Capital Market, subject to our regaining compliance with minimum MLVS requirement and our demonstrating compliance with all other requirements for continued listing by December 30, 2013, and our complying with certain other requirements. There can be no assurance that we will satisfy these conditions and that our common stock will remain listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market.

Table of Contents

Any delisting of our common stock from the NASDAQ Capital Market could adversely affect our ability to attract new investors, decrease the liquidity of our outstanding shares of common stock, reduce our flexibility to raise additional capital, reduce the price at which our common stock trades, and increase the transaction costs inherent in trading such shares with overall negative effects for our shareholders. In addition, delisting of our common stock could deter broker-dealers from making a market in or otherwise seeking or generating interest in our common stock, and might deter certain institutions and persons from investing in our securities at all. For these reasons and others, delisting could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We are subject to laws, regulations and similar requirements, changes to which may adversely affect our business and operations.

We are subject to laws, regulations and similar requirements that affect our business and operations, including, but not limited to, the areas of commerce, intellectual property, income and other taxes, labor, environmental, health and safety, and our compliance in these areas may be costly. While we have implemented policies and procedures to comply with laws and regulations, there can be no assurance that our employees, contractors, suppliers or agents will not violate such laws and regulations or our policies. Any such violation or alleged violation could materially and adversely affect our business. Any changes or potential changes to laws, regulations or similar requirements, or our ability to respond to these changes, may significantly increase our costs to maintain compliance or result in our decision to limit our business or products, which could materially harm our business, results of operations and future prospects.

The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act includes provisions regarding certain minerals and metals, known as conflict minerals, mined from the Democratic Republic of Congo and adjoining countries. These provisions require companies to undertake due diligence procedures and report on the use of conflict minerals in its products, including products manufactured by third parties. Compliance with these provisions will cause us to incur costs to certify that our supply chain is conflict free and we may face difficulties if our suppliers are unwilling or unable to verify the source of their materials. Our ability to source these minerals and metals may also be adversely impacted. In addition, our customers may require that we provide them with a certification and our inability to do so may disqualify us as a supplier.


Item 1B.	Unresolved Staff Comments.

None.


Item 2.	Properties.

We own no real property and we currently lease all facilities used in our business. Our headquarters is located in San Diego, California, where we lease a 91,300 square foot facility in a light industrial complex. The lease expires in February 2014 and may be renewed for one additional five-year period. This facility houses manufacturing, repair services, research and development, technical support, and administrative functions.

We lease a 20,777 square foot facility in San Jose, California. The lease expires in May 2017 and can be renewed for one additional five-year period. The San Jose facility houses research and development, technical support, sales and marketing, and administrative functions.

We lease a 17,000 square foot facility located in Wokingham, England, which houses sales, technical support and repair services, and administration functions. The lease expires in January 2018. We also maintain small sales offices located close to Paris, France; Munich, Germany; and in Singapore.

Item 3.	Legal Proceedings.

We are from time to time involved in various lawsuits, legal proceedings or claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. We do not believe any such legal proceedings or claims will have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on our business, liquidity, results of operations or financial position. Litigation, however, is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business.

In August 2010, we filed a patent infringement lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California against BDT AG, BDT Products, Inc. and BDT-Solutions GmbH. In October 2010, we filed an amended complaint for patent infringement in that court naming the following defendants: BDT AG; BDT Products, Inc.; BDT-Solutions GmbH & Co. KG; BDT Automation Technology (Zhuhai FTZ) Co., Ltd.; BDT de México, S. de R.L. de C.V.; IBM; and Dell. Also in October 2010, we filed a complaint for patent infringement with the United States International Trade Commission (“ITC”) against the same defendants. Both lawsuits claim infringement of two of our U.S. Patents, Nos. 6,328,766 and 6,353,581. The complaints broadly claimed infringement by BDT's products, and they specifically identify BDT's FlexStor II^® product line as infringing our patents. The complaints also claimed infringement by IBM and Dell Inc. products that are manufactured by BDT based on the FlexStor II^®. The Southern District of California case has been stayed to allow the ITC case to move forward first. The ITC instituted the case on November 18, 2010 (Investigation No. 337-TA-746). The trial for such case began on August 29, 2011 and ended on September 7, 2011.

In November 2011, we entered into a multi-year settlement and cross-licensing agreement with IBM pursuant to which we released all claims we had against IBM and Dell in connection with the patent infringement lawsuits we had filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California and at the ITC against BDT AG and certain of its affiliates, IBM and Dell. However, our infringement case against BDT AG and its affiliates continued. In June 2012, the Chief Administrative Law Judge of the ITC issued a public notice of the Initial Determination affirming that both of our asserted patents are valid, but that BDT did not violate Section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930. In July 2012, the ITC released the public version of the Initial Determination, which found that the six asserted claims of U.S. Patent No. 6,328,766 were valid and found no infringement of U.S. Patent No. 6,353,581, but concluded the asserted claims of this patent were valid. In November 2012, the full Commission issued an opinion that did not revisit the Chief Administrative Law Judge's conclusion that BDT's customers directly infringe every asserted claim of U.S. Patent No. 6,328,766, and affirmed the validity of the asserted claims of U.S. Patent No. 6,353,581. The Commission remanded certain aspects of the Chief Administrative Law Judge's validity findings for U.S. Patent No. 6,328,766. In December 2012, the Commission granted us a petition for reconsideration and further remanded the determination of whether BDT directly or indirectly infringes certain claims of U.S. Patent No. 6,353,581 to the Chief Administrative Law Judge. In March 2013, the Chief Administrative Law Judge of the ITC issued a public notice of the Remand Initial Determination. The Remand Initial Determination held that there is no infringement of certain claims of U.S. Patent No. 6,353,581, and that the six asserted claims of U.S. Patent No. 6,328,766 are invalid as anticipated. In April 2013, the ITC released a public version of the Remand Initial Determination. In May 2013, the ITC granted in part our request to review the Remand Initial Determination, and reviewed the findings that BDT's FlexStor II^® product line does not infringe one claim of U.S. Patent No. 6,353,581, and that the asserted claims of U.S. Patent No. 6,328,766 are invalid as anticipated. In May 2013, the ITC issued a Notice of Decision that upheld the findings of the Remand Initial Determination and terminated the investigation. In June 2013, the ITC issued a public version of the Commission Opinion on Remand.

In June 2012, we filed five additional patent infringement lawsuits in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California against seven companies. In these lawsuits we have asserted claims of infringement on one or both of the following U.S. Patent Nos. owned by us: 6,328,766 and 6,353,581, against the following defendants: Quantum Corporation, based in San Jose, California; Spectra Logic Corporation, based in Boulder, Colorado; PivotStor, Inc., based in Irvine, California; Qualstar Corporation, based in Simi Valley, California; Tandberg Data GmbH, based in Germany; Tandberg Data Corp., based in Westminster, Colorado; and Venture Corporation Limited, based in Singapore. In February 2013, we filed a joint motion to dismiss our case against Tandberg without prejudice.

Overview

This overview discusses matters on which our management primarily focuses in evaluating our financial position and operating performance.

Generation of revenue. We generate the majority of our revenue from sales of our data protection products. The balance of our revenue is provided by selling maintenance contracts and rendering related services. The majority of our sales are generated from sales of our branded products through a worldwide channel, which includes systems integrators and VARs.

We reported net revenue of $48.0 million for fiscal 2013, compared with $59.6 million for fiscal 2012. The decline in net revenue resulted in a net loss of $19.6 million, or $0.68 per share, for fiscal 2013 compared with a net loss of $16.2 million, or $0.66 per share, for fiscal 2012.

Intellectual property rights. In August and October 2010, we filed patent infringement lawsuits in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California and United States International Trade Commission (“ITC”), respectively, against various parties. Both lawsuits claim infringement of two of our U.S. Patents, Nos. 6,328,766 and 6,353,581.

In November 2011, we entered into a multi-year settlement and cross-licensing agreement with IBM pursuant to which we released all claims we had against IBM and Dell in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California and at the ITC. However, our infringement case against BDT AG and its affiliates continues.

In July 2012, the ITC released the public version of the Initial Determination, which found that the six asserted claims of U.S. Patent No. 6,328,766 were valid and found no infringement of U.S. Patent No. 6,353,581, but concluded the asserted claims of this patent were valid. In November 2012, the full Commission issued an opinion that did not revisit the Chief Administrative Law Judge's conclusion that BDT's customers directly infringe every asserted claim of U.S. Patent No. 6,328,766, and affirmed the validity of the asserted claims of U.S. Patent No. 6,353,581. The Commission remanded certain aspects of the Chief Administrative Law Judge's validity findings for U.S. Patent No. 6,328,766. In December 2012, the Commission granted us a petition for reconsideration and further remanded the determination of whether BDT directly or indirectly infringes certain claims of U.S. Patent No. 6,353,581 to the Chief Administrative Law Judge. In March 2013, the Chief Administrative Law Judge of the ITC issued a public notice of the Remand Initial Determination. The Remand Initial Determination held that there is no infringement of certain claims of U.S. Patent No. 6,353,581, and that the six asserted claims of U.S. Patent No. 6,328,766 are invalid as anticipated. In April 2013, the ITC issued a public notice of the Remand Initial Determination. In May 2013, the ITC granted in part our request to review the Remand Initial Determination, and reviewed the findings that BDT's FlexStor II^® product line does not infringe one claim of U.S. Patent No. 6,353,581, and that the asserted claims of U.S. Patent No. 6,328,766 are invalid as anticipated. See “Item 3. Legal Proceedings” for additional information on the patent litigation lawsuits.

In June 2012, we filed five additional patent infringement lawsuits in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California against seven companies. In February 2013, we filed a joint motion to dismiss our case against one of the seven companies without prejudice. See “Item 3. Legal Proceedings” for additional information on these patent litigation lawsuits.

Liquidity and capital resources. At June 30, 2013, we had a cash balance of $8.8 million, compared to $10.5 million at June 30, 2012. In fiscal 2013, we incurred a net loss of $19.6 million. During the third quarter of fiscal 2013, we completed a private placement of $13.25 million in convertible notes (the “Notes”), for net proceeds of approximately $13.0 million. The Notes are scheduled to mature in February 2017 and bear interest at a rate of 8% per annum payable semi-annually. The Notes are convertible into shares of common stock at an initial conversion price of $1.30 per share. At June 30, 2013, we had a balance of $13.25 million recorded as long-term debt. In addition, during the third quarter of fiscal 2013, in a private placement transaction, we sold an aggregate of 1,020,409 shares of our common stock for gross proceeds of $1.0 million, and net proceeds of approximately $0.9 million. In August 2011, we entered into a credit facility that provides for an $8.0 million secured revolving loan and may be used to fund our working capital and our general business requirements. At June 30, 2013, we had a balance of $3.5 million recorded as long-term debt, and a remaining external borrowing capacity of $3.1 million. Cash management and preservation continue to be a top priority. We expect to incur negative operating cash flows during fiscal 2014 as we continue to reshape our business model and further improve operational efficiencies.

Management has projected that cash on hand, combined with available borrowings under our credit facility, will be sufficient to allow us to continue operations for the next 12 months. Significant changes from our current forecasts, including but not limited to: (i) shortfalls from projected sales levels, (ii) unexpected increases in product costs, (iii) increases in operating costs and/or (iv) changes in the historical timing of collecting accounts receivable could have a material adverse impact on our liquidity. This could force us to make further reductions in spending, extend payment terms with suppliers, liquidate assets where possible and/or suspend or curtail planned programs. Any of these actions could materially harm our business, results of operations and future prospects. We may seek debt, equity or equity-based financing (such as convertible debt) when market conditions permit.

As of June 30, 2013, we had working capital of $6.7 million, reflecting decreases in current assets and current liabilities of $6.4 million and $5.7 million, respectively, during fiscal 2013. The decrease in current assets is primarily attributable to (i) a $2.5 million decrease in accounts receivable due to lower sales volumes primarily in our tape-based and disk-based products sold in the Americas region, and disk-based products sold in Europe, the Middle East and Africa (“EMEA”), (ii) a $1.9 million decrease in other current assets primarily due to a decrease in deferred costs for service contracts, (iii) a $1.7 million decrease in cash, and (iv) a $0.3 million decrease in inventory. The decrease in current liabilities is primarily attributable to (i) a $4.4 million decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities related to operating activities, (ii) a $0.9 million decrease in our stock appreciation rights' valuation liability, and (iii) a $0.4 million decrease in accrued warranty obligations.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our discussion and analysis of our financial position and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of consolidated financial statements requires that we make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including, but not limited to, those related to revenue recognition, share-based compensation, bad debts, inventories, intangible and other long-lived assets, warranty obligations and income taxes. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Critical accounting policies are those policies that, in management's view, are most important in the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations. The footnotes to our consolidated financial statements also include disclosure of significant accounting policies. The methods, estimates and judgments that we use in applying our accounting policies have a significant impact on the results that we report in our consolidated financial statements. These critical accounting policies require us to make difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates regarding matters that are inherently uncertain. Our critical accounting policies and estimates that require the most significant judgment are discussed further below.

Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenue from sales of products when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the price is fixed or determinable, collectibility is reasonably assured and delivery has occurred. Under this policy, revenue on direct product sales (excluding sales to distributors) is recognized upon shipment of products to our customers. These customers are not entitled to any specific right of return or price protection, except for any defective product that may be returned under our warranty policy.

Table of Contents

Generally, title and risk of loss transfer to the customer when the product leaves our dock. Product sales to distribution customers are subject to certain rights of return, stock rotation privileges and price protection. Because we are unable to estimate our exposure for returned product or price adjustments, revenue from shipments to these customers is not recognized until the related products are in turn sold to the ultimate customer by the distributor. For products in which software is more than an incidental component, we recognize revenue in accordance with current authoritative guidance for software revenue recognition.

Share-based Compensation

Share-based compensation expense can be significant to our results of operations, even though no cash is used for such expense. In determining period expense associated with unvested options, we estimate the fair value of each option at the date of grant. We use the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of the award. This model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected volatility of our stock and the expected term the average employee will hold the option prior to the date of exercise. In addition, we estimate pre-vesting forfeitures for share-based awards that are not expected to vest. We primarily use historical data to determine the inputs and assumptions to be used in the Black-Scholes pricing model. Changes in these inputs and assumptions could occur and could affect the measure of estimated fair value and make it difficult to compare the results in future periods to our current results.

Inventory Valuation

We record inventories at the lower of cost or market. We assess the value of our inventories periodically based upon numerous factors including, among others, expected product or material demand, current market conditions, technological obsolescence, current cost and net realizable value. If necessary, we adjust our inventory for obsolete or unmarketable inventory by an amount equal to the difference between the cost of the inventory and the estimated market value. If actual market conditions are less favorable than we project, we may need to record additional inventory adjustments and adverse purchase commitments.

Warranty Obligations

We provide for estimated future costs of warranty obligations in accordance with current accounting rules. For return-to-factory and on-site warranties, we accrue for warranty costs at the time revenue is recognized based on contractual rights and on the historical rate of claims and costs to provide warranty services. If we experience an increase in warranty claims above historical experience or our costs to provide warranty services increase, we may be required to increase our warranty accrual. Any such unforeseen increases may have an adverse impact on our gross margins in the periods in which they occur. Similarly, if we experience a decrease in warranty claims or our costs to provide services decline, we may be required to decrease our warranty accrual, which may have a favorable impact on our gross margins in the periods in which they occur.

Warrants

We have warrants to purchase common stock that are issued and outstanding and have been classified as equity in accordance with applicable accounting standards. The terms of these warrants, in particular their anti-dilution provisions, are evaluated on an on-going basis to determine whether equity classification remains appropriate. If these warrants were classified as a liability obligation, then the warrants would be adjusted to fair value at each reporting period with the fair market value adjustments being recorded to earnings.

Fiscal 2013 compared with Fiscal 2012

Net Revenue. Net revenue decreased to $48.0 million during fiscal 2013 from $59.6 million during fiscal 2012, a decrease of $11.6 million, or 19.5%. The decline was due to lower revenue from our branded products primarily as a result of decreased sales volumes in our taped-based and disk-based products sold in the Americas and EMEA, and decreased service revenue primarily from our sole OEM customer. In fiscal 2013, net revenue from our sole OEM customer decreased by 42.0% compared to fiscal 2012. OEM net revenue, which is primarily made up of service revenue, accounted for 12.2% and 17.0% of net revenues in fiscal 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Table of Contents

Product Revenue

Net product revenue decreased to $28.8 million during fiscal 2013 from $35.3 million during fiscal 2012. The decrease of approximately $6.5 million, or 18.4%, was primarily associated with (i) $3.3 million decrease in sales of our NEO^® products primarily related to a decrease in sales of our add-on drives, (ii) $1.7 million decrease in sales of spare parts related to our branded products and our OEM customer, (iii) $0.9 million decrease in sales of our SnapServer^® products resulting primarily from the end of life of historical SnapServer^® products such as the SnapServer^® 410, and (iv) $0.5 million decrease in sales of our REO^® products.

Service Revenue

Net service revenue decreased to $19.2 million during fiscal 2013 from $24.3 million during fiscal 2012. The decrease of approximately $5.1 million, or 21.0%, was primarily due to decreased service revenue from our sole OEM customer. In addition, there was a decrease in our extended service contracts primarily related to lower tape-based product sales. As a percentage of total revenue, service revenue remained relatively constant at 39.9% for fiscal 2013 compared to 40.7% for fiscal 2012.

Gross Profit. Overall gross profit decreased to $16.8 million during fiscal 2013 compared to $19.2 million during fiscal 2012. Gross margin increased to 35.0% during fiscal 2013 from 32.1% during fiscal 2012.

Product Revenue

Gross profit on product revenue during fiscal 2013 was $3.9 million compared to $5.1 million during fiscal 2012. The decrease of $1.2 million, or 23.5%, was primarily due to the 18.4% decrease in net product revenue related to decreased sales volumes of both tape-based and disk-based products. Gross margin on product revenue at 13.5% for fiscal 2013 decreased from 14.3% for fiscal 2012.

Service Revenue

Gross profit on service revenue during fiscal 2013 was $12.9 million compared to $14.1 million during fiscal 2012. The decrease of $1.2 million, or 8.5%, was primarily due to decreased service revenue from our sole OEM customer, and a decrease in extended service contracts due to a decrease in product sales. Gross margin on service revenue at 67.3% for fiscal 2013 increased from 58.2% for fiscal 2012. This increase was primarily the result of ongoing cost reductions related to service contracts as part of our strategy to improve operational efficiencies.

Sales and Marketing Expense. Sales and marketing expense in fiscal 2013 increased to $17.6 million from $16.2 million during fiscal 2012. The increase of $1.4 million, or 8.6%, was primarily a result of an increase of $1.3 million in employee and related expenses associated with an increase in our average headcount, and an increase of $0.2 million in share-based compensation expense. These increases were offset by a decrease of $0.2 million in public relations and advertising expense, including contractor fees.

Research and Development Expense. Research and development expense in fiscal 2013 decreased to $6.5 million from $8.1 million during fiscal 2012. The decrease of $1.6 million, or 19.8%, was primarily a result of (i) a decrease of $0.7 million in development expense as a result of a lower level of new product development, (ii) a decrease of $0.7 million in employee and related expenses associated with a decrease in our average headcount, and (iii) a decrease of $0.2 million in share-based compensation expense.

General and Administrative Expense. General and administrative expense in fiscal 2013 decreased to $11.6 million from $11.8 million during fiscal 2012. The decrease of $0.2 million, or 1.7%, was primarily a result of a decrease of $0.5 million in employee related expenses associated with a decrease in our average headcount, and a decrease of $0.3 million in share-based compensation expense. These decreases were offset by an increase of $0.3 million in outside contractor expense, primarily related to financial and accounting services, and $0.2 million in other asset write-offs.

Interest Income. We generated minimal interest income during fiscal 2013 compared with $0.4 million in fiscal 2012 related to the recovery of accounts receivable in our foreign subsidiaries previously written off in fiscal 2003.

Table of Contents

Interest Expense. We incurred interest expense of $0.6 million and $0.1 million during fiscal 2013 and 2012, respectively. The increase was primarily related to interest expense for the convertible notes we sold in February 2013.

Other Income (Expense), Net. During fiscal 2013, we incurred minimal other income (expense), net, compared with $0.7 million of income during fiscal 2012. The change of $0.7 million was primarily due to the receipt of $0.5 million in fiscal 2012 related to the recovery of accounts receivable in our foreign subsidiaries previously written off in 2003. In addition, we realized $19,000 in foreign currency losses in fiscal 2013, compared to $173,000 in realized foreign currency gains in fiscal 2012.

Provision for Income Taxes. During fiscal 2013, we recognized income tax expense of $0.2 million compared to $0.1 million in fiscal 2012.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At June 30, 2013, we had a cash balance of $8.8 million, compared to $10.5 million at June 30, 2012. In fiscal 2013, we incurred a net loss of $19.6 million. During the third quarter of fiscal 2013, we completed a private placement of $13.25 million in convertible notes, for net proceeds of approximately $13.0 million. The Notes are scheduled to mature in February 2017 and bear interest at a rate of 8% per annum payable semi-annually. The Notes are convertible into shares of common stock at an initial conversion price of $1.30 per share. At June 30, 2013, we had a balance of $13.25 million recorded as long-term debt. In addition, during the third quarter of fiscal 2013, in a private placement transaction, we sold an aggregate of 1,020,409 shares of our common stock for gross proceeds of $1.0 million, and net proceeds of approximately $0.9 million. In August 2011, we entered into a credit facility that provides for an $8.0 million secured revolving loan and may be used to fund our working capital and our general business requirements. At June 30, 2013, we had a balance of $3.5 million recorded as long-term debt, and a remaining external borrowing capacity of $3.1 million. We expect to incur negative operating cash flows during fiscal 2014 as we continue to reshape our business model and further improve operational efficiencies.

As of June 30, 2013, we had working capital of $6.7 million, reflecting decreases in current assets and current liabilities of $6.4 million and $5.7 million, respectively, during fiscal 2013. The decrease in current assets is primarily attributable to (i) a $2.5 million decrease in accounts receivable due to lower sales volumes primarily in our tape-based and disk-based products sold in the Americas region, and disk-based products sold in EMEA, (ii) a $1.9 million decrease in other current assets primarily due to a decrease in deferred costs for service contracts, (iii) a $1.7 million decrease in cash, and (iv) a $0.3 million decrease in inventory. The decrease in current liabilities is primarily attributable to (i) a $4.4 million decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities related to operating activities, (ii) a $0.9 million decrease in our stock appreciation rights' valuation liability, and (iii) a $0.4 million decrease in accrued warranty obligations.

During fiscal 2013, we used cash in operating activities of $14.0 million, compared to $8.7 million in fiscal 2012. The use of cash during fiscal 2013 was primarily a result of our net loss of $19.6 million offset by $6.1 million in non-cash items, which were primarily share-based compensation, depreciation and amortization. In addition, we had decreases in accounts receivable and inventory, both due to lower sales, and in other assets due to decreases in deferred costs for service contracts.

Table of Contents

We used cash in investing activities of $1.0 million during fiscal 2013, compared to $0.9 million in fiscal 2012. During fiscal 2013 and 2012, capital expenditures totaled $1.0 million and $0.9 million, respectively. In fiscal 2013, such expenditures were associated with machinery and equipment to support new product introductions, as well as computer equipment and software associated with the replacement of our enterprise resource planning system.

Item 7A.	Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

Market risk represents the risk of loss that may impact our financial position, results of operations or cash flows due to adverse changes in financial and commodity market prices and rates. We are exposed to market risk from changes in foreign currency exchange rates as measured against the U.S. dollar. These exposures are directly related to our normal operating and funding activities. Historically, we have not used derivative instruments or engaged in hedging activities.

Foreign Currency Risk. We conduct business on a global basis and essentially all of our products sold in international markets are denominated in U.S. dollars. Historically, export sales have represented a significant portion of our sales and are expected to continue to represent a significant portion of sales. Our wholly-owned subsidiaries in the United Kingdom, France and Germany incur costs that are denominated in local currencies. As exchange rates vary, these results may vary from expectations when translated into U.S. dollars, which could adversely impact overall expected results. The effect of exchange rate fluctuations on our results of operations resulted in a loss of $19,000 for fiscal 2013 and a gain of $173,000 for fiscal 2012.

Item 9A.	Controls and Procedures.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this annual report.

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over our financial reporting. In order to evaluate the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, as required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, management has conducted an assessment, including testing, using the criteria in Internal Control-Integrated Framework, issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). Our system of internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

Based on our evaluation under the framework in Internal Control-Integrated Framework, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of June 30, 2013.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. In addition, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions and that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report on internal control over financial reporting was not subject to attestation by our independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the SEC that permit us to provide only management's report in this annual report.

This report on internal control over financial reporting shall not be deemed to be filed for purposes of Section 18 of the Exchange Act, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, and is not incorporated by reference into any of our filings, whether made before or after the date hereof, regardless of any general incorporation language in such filing.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Employment, Severance and Change in Control Agreements

Employment Agreements. The following describes the employment arrangements we have with our named executive officers.

Eric L. Kelly. We entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Kelly, our President and Chief Executive Officer, on June 24, 2009, which was amended and restated on June 29, 2011 (the “Kelly Agreement”). The Kelly Agreement provides for Mr. Kelly to earn a base salary of $400,000, which has been his base salary since his appointment as Chief Executive Officer on January 27, 2009. Mr. Kelly is eligible to receive an annual bonus based upon the achievement of financial and management objectives reasonably established by our Board of Directors or an authorized committee of our Board of Directors. His annual bonus target is 100% of the greater of $400,000 or his base salary as of the end of the applicable fiscal quarter or year in which the bonus is earned, and he has the opportunity to earn an annual bonus of up to 150% of the target bonus. If we terminate Mr. Kelly's employment without cause or he resigns for good reason, or if he dies or becomes disabled, before the end of a fiscal quarter or year, he will be eligible to receive a prorated amount of the target bonus for the fiscal quarter or year in which his employment terminates. For purposes of the Kelly Agreement, the terms “cause” and “good reason” are defined in the agreement, and a termination of employment by us without cause includes a termination by us at the end of the term then in effect. To the extent that any travel, lodging or auto expense reimbursements are taxable to Mr. Kelly, we will provide him with a tax restoration payment so that he will be put in the same after-tax position as if such reimbursements had not been subject to tax. The Kelly Agreement has a three-year term and automatically renews for additional one-year terms. We may unilaterally modify Mr. Kelly's cash compensation at any time, subject to Mr. Kelly's right to terminate his employment for good reason.

The Kelly Agreement also provides that if we terminate Mr. Kelly's employment without cause or if Mr. Kelly resigns from employment for good reason, then we will be obligated to pay him an aggregate severance payment equal to the sum of (i) 150% of the greater of his base salary then in effect or his original base salary, (ii) a portion of his target bonus prorated based on the number of days he was employed during the period on which the target bonus is based, (iii) an amount equal to the premiums he would be required to pay to continue health insurance coverage under our insurance plans for himself and his eligible dependents under COBRA for 18 months following the date of his termination, and (iv) an amount necessary for him to continue life, accident, medical and dental insurance benefits for himself and his eligible dependents in amounts substantially similar to those which he received immediately prior to the date of his termination for a period of 18 months following his termination (reduced by the amount of any reimbursement for COBRA premiums as described in clause (iii) above). The severance payment will be made in equal monthly installments over 18 months in accordance with our regular payroll practices. In addition, Mr. Kelly will be entitled to accelerated vesting for any unvested portion of his then outstanding stock options and any other equity-based awards that would otherwise have vested during the 12-month period following his termination. In the case of vested stock options, he will be permitted to exercise such options in whole or in part at any time within one year of the date of his termination, subject to earlier termination upon the expiration of the maximum term of the applicable options under the applicable plan or upon a change in control. The severance benefits described above are contingent upon Mr. Kelly providing us with a general release of all claims.

Kurt L. Kalbfleisch. We entered into an employment and severance agreement with Mr. Kalbfleisch, our Senior Vice President of Finance, Chief Financial Officer and Corporate Secretary on September 29, 2009, which was amended and restated on June 29, 2011 (the “Kalbfleisch Agreement”). The Kalbfleisch Agreement provides for Mr. Kalbfleisch to earn a base salary of $266,000 which was effective in May 2011. If we terminate Mr. Kalbfleisch's employment without cause or he resigns his employment for good reason before the end of a fiscal quarter or year, he will be eligible to receive a prorated amount of the target bonus for the fiscal quarter or year in which his employment terminates. For purposes of the Kalbfleisch Agreement, the terms “cause” and “good reason” are defined in the agreement, and a termination of employment by us without cause includes a termination by us at the end of the term then in effect. The Kalbfleisch Agreement has a three-year term and automatically renews for additional one-year terms. We may unilaterally modify Mr. Kalbfleisch's cash compensation at any time, subject to Mr. Kalbfleisch's right to terminate his employment for good reason.

Table of Contents

The Kalbfleisch Agreement provides that if we terminate Mr. Kalbfleisch's employment without cause or if Mr. Kalbfleisch resigns from employment for good reason, we will be obligated to pay him an aggregate severance payment equal to the sum of (i) the greater of his annual base salary then in effect or his original base salary of $266,000, (ii) a portion of any target bonus prorated based on the number of days he was employed during the period on which the target bonus is based, (iii) an amount equal to the premiums he would be required to pay to continue health insurance coverage under our insurance plans for himself and his eligible dependents under COBRA for 12 months following the date of his termination, and (iv) an amount necessary for him to continue life, accident, medical and dental insurance benefits for himself and his eligible dependents in amounts substantially similar to those which he received immediately prior to the date of his termination for a period of 12 months following his termination (reduced by the amount of any reimbursement for COBRA premiums as described in clause (iii) above). The severance payment will be made in equal monthly installments over the 12 months following termination of employment. In addition, Mr. Kalbfleisch will be entitled to accelerated vesting for any unvested portion of his then outstanding stock options and any other equity-based awards that would otherwise have vested during the 12-month period following his termination. In the case of vested stock options, he will be permitted to exercise such options in whole or in part at any time within one year of the date of his termination, subject to earlier termination upon the expiration of the maximum term of the applicable options under the applicable plan or upon a change in control. If such a termination of employment occurs within two years following a change in control of our company, then the severance benefits will generally be the same as described above except that the cash severance will be paid in a single lump sum on the sixtieth day after termination of employment and Mr. Kalbfleisch will be entitled to accelerated vesting for any unvested portion of his then outstanding stock options and any other equity-based awards. If any payment under the Kalbfleisch Agreement would constitute an “excess parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code, then that payment will be reduced to an amount that is one dollar less than the threshold for triggering the tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code if such reduction would result in a greater benefit for Mr. Kalbfleisch on an after-tax basis. The severance benefits described above are contingent upon Mr. Kalbfleisch providing us with a general release of all claims.

Jillian Mansolf. Under her offer letter with the Company, Ms. Mansolf is an at-will employee and her employment may be terminated by us for any reason, with or without notice. Ms. Mansolf currently earns an annual salary of $250,000 and during fiscal 2013 was eligible for quarterly commission earnings of $25,500, for a total annual compensation package of up to $352,000. Ms. Mansolf was also eligible to receive an annual bonus based upon the achievement of financial and management objectives reasonably established by our Board of Directors or an authorized committee of our Board of Directors. As in effect during fiscal 2013, Ms. Mansolf's offer letter provides that if her employment is terminated by us without cause she is eligible to receive severance benefits consisting of six months of base salary plus earned commissions and twelve months of continued health benefits coverage.

As noted above, Ms. Mansolf ceased to serve as an executive officer of the Company during September 2013. In connection with her change in position, Ms. Mansolf and the Company entered into an amendment of her offer letter. The amendment provides for her to continue to receive her current base salary of $250,000 and to be eligible to receive a quarterly bonus under the Company's executive bonus plan commencing October 1, 2013 with a target bonus of $25,500 per quarter. She will no longer be eligible for quarterly commissions earnings after that date. In addition, the installment of her outstanding restricted stock unit award granted by the Company that is eligible to vest on January 15, 2014 will instead vest on January 3, 2014, subject to her continued employment through that date. If the Company terminates her employment at any time without cause, or if she voluntarily terminates her employment for any reason between January 3, 2014 and June 30, 2014, the Company will pay her severance equal to three months of her base salary and reimburse the cost of her COBRA premiums for six months following her termination, subject to her providing a release of claims in favor of the Company.

Retention Agreements. The following describes the severance arrangements we have with our named executive officers in the case of a change of control. For these purposes, the terms “cause,” “good reason,” and “change in control” are defined in each executive's retention agreement.

Eric L. Kelly. On June 24, 2009, we entered into a retention agreement with Mr. Kelly, which provides that he will receive a lump sum severance payment if, within 60 days before or two years following a change of control of our company, his employment is terminated by us without cause or he resigns for good reason. The severance payment will equal 150% of the sum of Mr. Kelly's base salary at the time of the consummation of the change of control or termination date or $400,000, whichever is higher, plus any annual target bonus. The retention agreement provides that (i) if Mr. Kelly elects to continue insurance coverage as provided by COBRA, we will reimburse him for an amount equal to the premiums he would be required to pay to continue health insurance coverage under our insurance plans for himself and his eligible dependents under COBRA for 18 months following the date of his termination, and (ii) we will reimburse him for an amount necessary for him to continue life, accident, medical and dental insurance benefits for himself and his eligible dependents in amounts substantially similar to those which he received immediately prior to the date of his termination for a period of 18 months following his termination (reduced by the amount of any reimbursements for COBRA premiums as described in clause (i) above). We are required to reimburse Mr. Kelly for the estimated costs of these benefits in one lump sum payment on his termination date. In addition, Mr. Kelly will be entitled to accelerated vesting for any unvested portion of his then outstanding stock options and any other equity-based awards. In the case of vested stock options, he will be permitted to exercise such options in whole or in part at any time within one year of the date of his termination, subject to earlier termination upon the expiration of the maximum term of the applicable options under the applicable plan or upon a change of control. If any portion of any payment under the retention agreement would constitute an “excess parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code, then that payment will be reduced to an amount that is one dollar less than the threshold for triggering the tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code if such reduction would result in a greater benefit for Mr. Kelly on an after-tax basis. The consideration payable to Mr. Kelly under the retention agreement is contingent upon him providing us a general release of claims.

Jillian Mansolf. We entered into a retention agreement with Ms. Mansolf effective July 13, 2009, which was in effect during fiscal 2013. This agreement generally provides that Ms. Mansolf would receive a lump sum severance payment if, within two years of the consummation of a change of control of our company, her employment is terminated without cause or she resigns with good reason. These severance payments are based on Ms. Mansolf's base salary and target commission at the time of the consummation of the change of control or the termination date, whichever is higher, plus her target bonus for the year before the consummation of the change of control. The agreement provides that, upon a qualifying termination in connection with a change of control, Ms. Mansolf is entitled to receive an amount equal to her annual base salary, target commissions plus target bonus. If any portion of any payment under the retention agreement would constitute an “excess parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code, then that payment will be reduced to an amount that is one dollar less than the threshold for triggering the tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code. The agreement also provides that if Ms. Mansolf elects to continue health insurance coverage as provided by COBRA, we would reimburse her for the amount of the premiums incurred by her for 12 months following the termination date. The consideration payable to Ms. Mansolf under the retention agreement is contingent upon her providing us a general release of claims.

In connection with Ms. Mansolf's change in position in September 2013, she and the Company agreed to terminate her retention agreement.

Equity Awards Granted in Fiscal 2013

There were no equity awards granted to our named executive officers during fiscal 2013.

Executive Bonus Plan

Our Executive Bonus Plan (“Bonus Plan”) provides bonus opportunities for selected employees of the Company, including each of our executive officers. Each participant in the Bonus Plan is assigned a target bonus percentage that is expressed as a percentage of the participant's base salary for the applicable bonus period (“Bonus Period”). Bonuses are payable based upon our attainment of one or more performance goal(s) for revenue, gross profit, operating income, operating expenses and/or earnings per share as approved by the Compensation Committee for the applicable Bonus Period. The Compensation Committee may establish minimum, target and/or maximum performance goals for one or more of these performance metrics. The Compensation Committee establishes target bonus amounts for each Bonus Period and also establishes the percentage of the total bonus that will be determined based on our performance and the percentage of the total bonus that will be determined based on individual performance and, as applicable, the performance goals that will be used to determine a participant's individual performance for the Bonus Period. The Bonus Plan is effective for each fiscal year unless and until otherwise determined by the Compensation Committee.

For fiscal 2013, the Compensation Committee established performance goals for our revenue growth and gross operating expenses. The named executive officers' target bonuses for fiscal 2013 (expressed as a percentage of the executive's annual base salary) were as follows: Mr. Kelly-100%; Mr. Kalbfleisch-50%; and Ms. Mansolf-10%. (Ms. Mansolf's participation in the Bonus Plan is in addition to her opportunity to be awarded sales commissions under her employment agreement as described above.) The bonuses awarded to each named executive officer under the Bonus Plan for fiscal 2013 are reported in the Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation column of the “Summary Compensation Table for Fiscal 2013” above.

401(k) Plan

Our On-Track 401(k) Savings Plan covers all of our eligible employees who are at least 21 years old, and is intended to qualify under Section 401 of the Internal Revenue Code so that employee contributions and income earned on such contributions are not taxable to employees until withdrawn. Employees may elect to defer up to 60% of their eligible compensation (not to exceed the statutorily prescribed annual limit) in the form of elective deferral contributions to our 401(k) plan. However, our named executive officers qualify as highly compensated employees and may only elect to defer up to 8.5% of their eligible compensation (not to exceed the statutorily prescribed annual limit) in the form of elective deferral contributions to our 401(k) plan. Our 401(k) plan also has a catch up contribution feature for employees aged 50 or older (including those who qualify as highly compensated employees) who can defer amounts over the statutory limit that applies to all other employees. Our 401(k) Plan permits but does not require matching contributions by us on behalf of participants. We do not make matching contributions.

The amounts shown in this column do not reflect compensation actually received by the non-employee director. These amounts represent the fair value on the grant date of the awards granted to the directors during fiscal 2013.

(6)	Mr. Shottan resigned from our Board of Directors in November 2012.

Overview of Non-Employee Director Compensation and Procedures

We compensate non-employee directors through cash and equity-based compensation. Each non-employee director receives an annual retainer of $40,000 payable quarterly. The Executive Chairperson of the Board of Directors receives an additional $10,000 retainer annually. No additional fees are paid for attendance at meetings of the Board of Directors or committees. We also reimburse expenses incurred by non-employee directors to attend meetings.

In addition to the above fees, each non-employee director receives an annual equity award with a grant date fair value of $50,000 (based on the assumptions used to value equity awards for purposes of our financial reporting). These equity awards generally vest one year from the grant date and, in the case of options and similar awards, have a per share exercise price equal to the fair market value of our common stock on the grant date, and a maximum exercise term of six years. In August 2012, each non-employee director, except for the Executive Chairperson, received an annual equity award in the form of an option to purchase 40,000 shares of our common stock. In November 2012, when Mr. Mahadevan joined the Board, he received an equity award in the form of an option to purchase 30,000 shares of our common stock.

_________________

(1)

Of the aggregate number of shares that remained available for future issuance reported in column (c), 2,290,085 were available under the 2009 Plan and 540,797 were available under the 2006 Employee Stock Purchase Plan. The 2009 Plan permits the granting of the following types of incentive awards: stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted shares, and stock units. Subject to any accelerated vesting that may apply in the circumstances, the unvested portion of a named executive officer's outstanding awards will immediately terminate upon termination of the named executive officer's employment.

(2)

These figures represent options to purchase shares of our common stock granted to certain employees (including Ms. Mansolf) (the “Inducement Options”) and stock units (the “Inducement Stock Units”) as an inducement to their commencing employment with us. Neither the Inducement Options nor the Inducement Stock Units were granted under a plan and are administered by the Compensation Committee. The Inducement Options and Inducement Stock Units are generally subject to the same terms as options and stock units granted under the 2009 Plan. The Inducement Options have a six-year term and the Inducement Stock Units vest over three years and are subject to earlier termination in the case of termination of the employee's employment or a change in control of us.


(3)	The weighted-average exercise prices do not reflect shares subject to outstanding awards of restricted stock units.


Item 13.	Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence.

Certain Transactions with Related Persons

In July 2013, we entered into a supply agreement, and a technology license agreement, with Sphere 3D Corporation (“Sphere 3D”). As consideration for the transactions contemplated by the technology license agreement, we paid Sphere 3D $250,000 in cash and issued Sphere 3D 213,220 shares of our common stock, with a value at the time of issuance of approximately $250,000. The issuance of these shares was exempt from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, as sales of securities not involving any public offering. In July 2013, as partial payment under the supply agreement, Sphere 3D issued 769,231 common shares to us, at $0.65 CAD, or approximately $0.63, with a value as of the date of issuance equal to approximately $500,000.

In connection with the Sphere 3D transaction, Eric Kelly, our President and Chief Executive Officer, was appointed the chairman of the board of directors of Sphere 3D. Mr. Kelly was also awarded an option to purchase up to 850,000 shares of common stock of Sphere 3D with an exercise price of $0.65 CAD, or approximately $0.63, which we believe represents approximately 5% of Sphere 3D's outstanding shares.

Indemnification of Our Executive Officers and Directors

Our executive officers and directors are entitled to be indemnified under our articles of incorporation and bylaws to the fullest extent permitted under California law. We have also entered into indemnification agreements with each of our executive officers and directors.

Director Independence

The Board of Directors, upon the recommendation of the Nominating and Governance Committee, has affirmatively determined that Messrs. Degan, De Perio, Mahadevan, and McClendon are independent directors within the meaning of NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 5605(a)(2). Mr. Kelly does not meet the independence requirements under NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 5605(a)(2) because he is our President and Chief Executive Officer. In the course of determining whether Messrs. Degan, De Perio, Mahadevan, and McClendon were independent under NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 5605(a)(2), the Board of Directors considered the following transactions, relationships and arrangements not required to be disclosed in “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence”:


•	Although Mr. McClendon served as our Interim President and Chief Executive Officer from November 2006 through August 2007, he is not automatically disqualified from being an independent director under NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 5605(a)(2) because he served in these interim positions more than three years prior to our Board of Director's determination of his independence and for less than one year.

•

Although Mr. De Perio was elected to our Board of Directors pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement and is the nominee of, and is employed by, one of our shareholders, he is not automatically disqualified from being an independent director under NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 5605(a)(2). In April 2011, the Board of Directors, upon the recommendation of the Nominating and Governance Committee, found that Mr. De Perio had no relationship with us which, in the opinion of the Board of Directors, would interfere with his exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. In making this determination, the Board of Directors found that ownership of our securities by Mr. De Perio's employer does not preclude a finding of independence.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Shareholders

Overland Storage, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Overland Storage, Inc. (the “Company”) as of June 30, 2013 and July 1, 2012, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Overland Storage, Inc. as of June 30, 2013 and July 1, 2012, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company's recurring losses and negative operating cash flows raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans concerning these matters are also described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 — OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

General

Overland Storage, Inc. (“Overland” or the “Company”) was incorporated on September 8, 1980 under the laws of the State of California. For more than 30 years, Overland has delivered data protection solutions designed for backup and recovery to ensure business continuity. The Company has a portfolio of tape-based data protection solutions, including tape and virtual tape library systems, as well as disk-based data protection solutions, including network attached storage (“NAS”) and storage area network (“SAN”) products and solutions, designed for small and medium business computing environments.

The Company operates and reports using a 52-53 week fiscal year with each quarter ending on the Sunday closest to the calendar quarter. For ease of presentation, the Company’s fiscal years are considered to end on June 30. For example, references to fiscal 2013 and 2012 refer to the fiscal years ended June 30, 2013 and July 1, 2012, respectively. Fiscal 2013 and 2012 each contained 52 weeks.

The Company has incurred losses for its last eight fiscal years and negative cash flows from operating activities for its last seven fiscal years. As of June 30, 2013, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $132.4 million. During fiscal 2013, the Company incurred a net loss of $19.6 million. The Company expects to continue to incur a net loss as it continues to change its business model and improve operational efficiencies.

The Company has projected that cash on hand, combined with available borrowings under its credit facility, will be sufficient to allow the Company to continue operations for the next 12 months. Significant changes from the Company’s current forecast, including but not limited to: (i) shortfalls from projected sales levels, (ii) unexpected increases in product costs, (iii) increases in operating costs, and/or (iv) changes in the historical timing of collecting accounts receivable could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s liquidity. This could force the Company to make further reductions in spending, extend payment terms with suppliers, liquidate assets where possible, and/or suspend or curtail planned programs. Any of these actions could materially harm the Company’s business, results of operations, and future prospects. The Company may seek debt, equity or equity-based financing (such as convertible debt) when market conditions permit.

The Company’s recurring losses and negative cash flows from operations raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Overland Storage (Europe) Ltd., Overland Storage SARL, and Overland Storage GmbH. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Reclassifications

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the fiscal 2013 presentation.

Management Estimates and Assumptions

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates have been prepared on the basis of the most current and best available information and actual results could differ from those estimates.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue from sales of products is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the price is fixed or determinable, collectibility is reasonably assured and delivery has occurred. Under this policy, revenue on direct product sales, excluding sales to distributors, is recognized upon shipment of products to customers. These customers are not entitled to any specific right of return or price protection, except for any defective product that may be returned under the Company's warranty policy.

Generally, title and risk of loss transfer to the customer when the product leaves the Company's dock. Product sales to distribution customers are subject to certain rights of return, stock rotation privileges and price protection. Because the Company is unable to estimate its exposure for returned product or price adjustments, revenue from shipments to these customers is not recognized until the related products are in turn sold to the ultimate customer by the distributor. For products for which software is more than an incidental component, the Company recognizes revenue in accordance with current authoritative guidance for software revenue recognition.

Warranty and Extended Warranty

The Company records a provision for estimated future warranty costs for both return-to-factory and on-site warranties. If future actual costs to repair were to differ significantly from estimates, the impact of these unforeseen costs or cost reductions would be recorded in subsequent periods.

Separately priced extended on-site warranties and service contracts are offered for sale to customers on all product lines. The Company contracts with third-party service providers to provide service relating to on-site warranties and service contracts. Extended warranty and service contract revenue and amounts paid in advance to outside service organizations are deferred and recognized as service revenue and cost of service, respectively, over the period of the service agreement. The Company had $1.9 million and $3.9 million in deferred costs related to deferred service revenue at June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

In addition, the Company had $0.2 million and $0.4 million in deferred software revenue at June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, which is not included in the table below.

Changes in the liability for product warranty and deferred revenue associated with extended warranties and service contracts were as follows (in thousands):

Shipping and Handling

Amounts billed to customers for shipping and handling are included in product revenue, and costs incurred related to shipping and handling are included in cost of product.

Advertising Costs

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expenses were $0.7 million and $0.4 million for fiscal years 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Research and Development Costs

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Software development costs are expensed until technological feasibility has been established, at which time any additional costs are capitalized. Because the Company believes its current process for developing software is essentially completed concurrently with the establishment of technological feasibility, which occurs upon the completion of a working model, no costs were capitalized during fiscal 2013 and 2012.

Segment Data

The Company reports segment data based on the management approach. The management approach designates the internal reporting that is used by management for making operating and investment decisions and evaluating performance as the source of the Company's reportable segments. The Company uses one measurement of profitability and does not disaggregate its business for internal reporting. The Company has determined that it operates in one segment providing data storage solutions for small and medium businesses and distributed enterprises. The Company discloses information about products and services, geographic areas and major customers.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Highly liquid investments with insignificant interest rate risk and original maturities of three months or less, when purchased, are classified as cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are composed of money market funds. The carrying amounts approximate fair value due to the short maturities of these instruments.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The Company records accounts receivable at the invoice amount and does not charge interest thereon. The Company estimates its allowance for doubtful accounts based on an assessment of the collectibility of specific accounts and the overall condition of the accounts receivable portfolio. When evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts, the Company analyzes specific trade and other receivables, historical bad debts, customer credits, customer concentrations, customer credit-worthiness, current economic trends and changes in customers' payment terms and/or patterns. The Company reviews the allowance for doubtful accounts on a quarterly basis and records adjustments as considered necessary. Customer accounts are written-off against the allowance for doubtful accounts when an account is considered uncollectible.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market using the first-in-first-out method. The Company assesses the value of its inventories periodically based upon numerous factors including, among others, expected product or material demand, current market conditions, technological obsolescence, current cost and net realizable value. If necessary, the Company adjusts its inventory for obsolete or unmarketable inventory by an amount equal to the difference between the cost of the inventory and the estimated market value.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost. The Company also capitalizes qualifying internal use software costs incurred during the application development stage. Depreciation expense is computed using the straight-line method. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of the remaining estimated useful life of the asset or the term of the lease.

Estimated useful lives are as follows:



Machinery and equipment	3-5 years
Furniture and fixtures	5 years
Computer equipment and software	1-5 years

Expenditures for normal maintenance and repair are charged to expense as incurred, and improvements are capitalized. Upon the sale or retirement of property or equipment, the asset cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts and any gain or loss is included in the results of operations.

Long-lived Assets

The Company evaluates the recoverability of long-lived assets, including property and equipment and certain identifiable intangible assets, in accordance with current accounting rules. The Company tests for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. The Company's consideration includes, but is not limited to, the following events or changes as potential indicators of non-recoverability:


•	Significant underperformance relative to historical or projected future operating results.


•	Significant changes in the manner of use of the assets or the strategy for the Company's overall business.


•	Significant decrease in the market value of the assets.


•	Significant negative industry or economic trends.

When the carrying value is not considered recoverable, an impairment loss for the amount by which the carrying value of a long-lived asset exceeds its fair value is recognized, with an offsetting reduction in the carrying value of the related asset. If the Company's future results are significantly different than forecasted, the Company may be required to further evaluate its long-lived assets for recoverability and such analysis could result in an impairment charge in a future period. In fiscal 2013 and 2012, there were no impairments recognized.

Deferred Rent

Rent expense is recorded on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. The difference between rent expense and amounts paid under the lease agreements is recorded in other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

Foreign Currency Translation

The financial statements of foreign subsidiaries, for which the functional currency is the local currency, are translated into U.S. dollars using the exchange rate at the balance sheet date for assets and liabilities and a weighted-average exchange rate during the year for revenue, expenses, gains and losses. Translation adjustments are recorded as other comprehensive income (loss) within shareholders' equity. Gains or losses from foreign currency transactions are recognized in income. Such transactions resulted in a loss of $19,000 for fiscal 2013 and a gain of $173,000 for fiscal 2012.

Income Taxes

The Company provides for income taxes utilizing the asset and liability approach of accounting for income taxes. Under this approach, deferred taxes represent the future tax consequences expected to occur when the reported amounts of assets and liabilities are recovered or paid. The provision for income taxes generally represents income taxes paid or payable for the current year plus the change in deferred taxes during the year. Deferred taxes result from differences between the financial and tax basis of the Company's assets and liabilities and are adjusted for changes in tax rates and tax laws when changes are enacted. Valuation allowances are recorded to reduce deferred tax assets when a judgment is made that it is considered more likely than not that a tax benefit will not be realized. A decision to record a valuation allowance results in an increase in income tax expense or a decrease in income tax benefit. If the valuation allowance is released in a future period, income tax expense will be reduced accordingly.

The calculation of tax liabilities involves dealing with uncertainties in the application of complex global tax regulations. The impact of an uncertain income tax position is recognized at the largest amount that is “more likely than not” to be sustained upon audit by the relevant taxing authority. An uncertain income tax position will not be recognized if it has less than a 50% likelihood of being sustained. If the estimate of tax liabilities proves to be less than the ultimate assessment, a further charge to expense would result.

Comprehensive Loss

Comprehensive loss and its components encompasses all changes in equity other than those with stockholders, includes net loss and foreign currency translation adjustments, and are disclosed in a separate statement of comprehensive loss.

Concentration of Credit Risks

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of trade accounts receivable, which are generally not collateralized. To reduce credit risk, the Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and maintains allowances for potential credit losses and sales returns.

A significant portion of revenue is concentrated with a limited number of customers. Aggregated revenues from two customers comprised 24.4% and 17.0% of total consolidated revenues in fiscal 2013 and 2012, respectively. Aggregated accounts receivable from two customers comprised 31.1% and 27.7% of total accounts receivable at the end of fiscal 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Table of Contents

Net Loss per Share

Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss applicable to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed based on the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period increased by the weighted-average number of dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding during the period, using the treasury stock method. Dilutive common stock equivalents are comprised of options granted under the Company's stock option plans, employee stock purchase plan (“ESPP”) share purchase rights and common stock purchase warrants. For all periods presented, there is no difference in the number of shares used to calculate basic and diluted shares outstanding due to the Company's net loss position.

Anti-dilutive common stock equivalents excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share were as follows (in thousands):



	Fiscal Year
	2013	2012
Restricted stock not yet vested and released	2,645	4,049
Options outstanding and ESPP share purchase rights	1,663	978
Common stock purchase warrants	13,634	12,637
Convertible notes	10,192	—
Convertible notes interest	3,978	—

Share-based Compensation

The Company accounts for share-based awards, and similar equity instruments, granted to employees and non-employee directors under the fair value method. Share-based compensation award types include stock options, restricted stock, and stock appreciation rights (“SAR”) awards. The Company typically uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of its option awards on the measurement date, which generally is the date of grant. The cost is recognized over the requisite service period (usually the vesting period) for the estimated number of instruments for which service is expected to be rendered.

Compensation expense associated with options with graded vesting is recognized pursuant to an accelerated method. Compensation expense associated with restricted stock is recognized over the vesting period using the straight-line method.

The Company has not recognized, and does not expect to recognize in the near future, any tax benefit related to share-based compensation cost as a result of the full valuation allowance of the Company's net deferred tax assets and its net operating loss carryforwards.

The Company recorded the following compensation expense related to its share-based compensation awards (in thousands):

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company's financial instruments including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities are carried at cost, which management believes approximates fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments. The carrying amount of the Company's borrowings under its credit facility approximates its fair value as the interest rate of the credit facility is substantially comparable to rates offered for similar debt instruments. The fair value of the Company's convertible notes is estimated at $11.5 million using an estimated interest rate of 12%, and is classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. At June 30, 2013, the carrying value of the convertible notes was $13.25 million.

The framework for measuring fair value provides a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used in measuring fair value as follows:



Level 1 —	Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities,

Level 2 —	Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are directly observable for the asset or liability or indirectly observable through corroboration with observable market data, and

Level 3 —	Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability only used when there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2013-02, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. The provisions of ASU No. 2013-02 require companies to present current-period reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income and other amounts of current-period other comprehensive income separately by each component of other comprehensive income on the face of the financial statements or in the notes. This update is effective prospectively for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012. In January 2013, the Company adopted ASU No. 2013-02, and such adoption did not impact the consolidated financial position or results of operations as the requirements are disclosure only in nature.

NOTE 4 — DEBT

Credit Facility

In August 2011, the Company entered into a loan and security agreement, or credit facility, which allows for revolving cash borrowings up to $8.0 million. The proceeds of the credit facility may be used to fund the Company's working capital and to fund its general business requirements. The obligations under the credit facility are secured by substantially all assets of the Company other than 65% of the stock of its foreign subsidiaries which are pledged under the Company's convertible notes. Borrowings under the credit facility bear interest at the prime rate (as defined in the credit facility) plus a margin of either 1.00% or 1.25%, depending on the Company's liquidity coverage ratio. The Company is also obligated to pay other customary facility fees and arrangement fees for a credit facility of this size and type. At June 30, 2013, the interest rate on the credit facility was 4.25%.

The credit facility requires the Company to comply with a liquidity coverage ratio and contains customary covenants, including covenants that limit or restrict the Company's and its subsidiaries' ability to incur liens and indebtedness, make certain types of payments, merge or consolidate, and make dispositions of assets. The credit facility specifies customary events of default (some of which are subject to applicable grace or cure periods), including, among other things, non-payment defaults, covenant defaults, cross-defaults to other material indebtedness, bankruptcy and insolvency defaults, and material judgment defaults. Upon the occurrence of an event of default under the credit facility, the lender may cease making loans, terminate the credit facility, and declare all amounts outstanding to be immediately due and deduct such amounts from the Company’s lockbox account on deposit with the bank. At June 30, 2013, the Company was in compliance with all covenants of the credit facility.

At June 30, 2013 and 2012, $3.5 million was outstanding on the credit facility and recorded as long-term debt, and an external borrowing capacity of $3.1 million remained. No payments are due within the next 12 months. While the credit facility is recorded as long-term debt, it is a revolving line of credit and borrowings and payments are presented on a net basis in the consolidated statement of cash flows.

In August 2013, the Company amended its Silicon Valley Bank credit facility to, among other things, extend the maturity date to August 7, 2015 and add a separate credit line of $750,000 for letters of credit, foreign exchange contracts and cash management, which is in addition to the existing $8.0 million revolving line of credit.

Convertible Notes

In February 2013, the Company entered into a Note Purchase Agreement (the “NPA”) with the note purchaser's party thereto (the “Purchasers”), which was amended in March 2013. The Company sold to the Purchasers convertible notes (the “Notes”) of the Company in an aggregate original principal amount of $13.25 million. The Notes are scheduled to mature in February 2017 and bear interest at a rate of 8% per annum, payable semi-annually. Debt issuance costs of $0.2 million have been included in other assets and will be amortized over the term of the Notes. At June 30, 2013, the Notes principal balance was $13.25 million and has been recorded as long-term debt. No payments of principal are due within the next 12 months.

The Company may, subject to certain limitations, pay interest in cash or in shares of common stock at its option beginning the quarter ended June 30, 2013, provided that at any time that the Purchasers hold 20% or more of the then outstanding common stock, the Purchasers (and not the Company) have the option to determine whether the applicable interest payment payable to the Purchasers during such time is payable in cash or shares of common stock. The number of shares of common stock that may be issued as payment of interest on the Notes will be determined by dividing the amount of interest due to the holder of the Notes by the volume weighted average of the closing prices of one share of the common stock as reported on the NASDAQ Capital Market for the 20 consecutive trading days up to and including the trading day on the third trading day prior to the valuation date, using the interest payment due date at the valuation date; provided the Company may not pay interest in shares of common stock at a price per share lower than $0.98 (as adjusted from time to time for items such as stock splits, combinations, reclassifications, or recapitalizations). In the event of a share price lower than $0.98 per share, the Company has the option to pay interest in a combination of shares of common stock and cash so long as the number of shares of common stock that the Company issues does not exceed the quotient obtained by dividing the interest payable at such time

F-17

Table of Contents

by $0.98, and the difference between the amount of the interest paid in shares and the average closing price of the shares of common stock, determined as described above, will be payable in cash. Interest expense for the Notes was $0.4 million in fiscal 2013.

Any Purchaser may elect to convert all or a portion of the outstanding principal amount of such Purchaser's Note into shares of common stock (subject to certain limitations) in an amount equal to the principal amount of the Notes being converted divided by $1.30 per share subject to adjustment as set forth in the NPA, such as stock splits.

The Notes will automatically convert into shares of common stock on the first trading day immediately following the date that the closing bid price of the common stock exceeds two times the conversion price of $1.30 for ten consecutive trading days.

If certain conditions are met with respect to ongoing litigation, the Company has an option to repay a portion of the debt prior to the maturity date.

The obligations under the Notes are secured by a pledge of 65% of the Company's stock in each of its foreign subsidiaries.

The NPA contains customary covenants, including covenants that limit or restrict the Company's ability to incur liens, incur indebtedness, or make certain restricted payments. Upon the occurrence of an event of default under the NPA, the Purchasers may declare all amounts outstanding to be immediately due and payable. The NPA specifies a number of events of default (some of which are subject to applicable grace or cure periods), including, among other things, non-payment defaults, covenant defaults, cross-defaults to other material indebtedness, bankruptcy and insolvency defaults and material judgment defaults. In the event of default, the interest rate shall automatically increase to 11%. The Company has also granted certain registration rights to the Notes' Purchasers. At June 30, 2013, the Company was in compliance with all covenants of the Notes.

NOTE 5 — INCOME TAXES

The Company recognizes the impact of an uncertain income tax position on its income tax return at the largest amount that is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon audit by the relevant taxing authority. An uncertain income tax position will not be recognized if it has less than a 50% likelihood of being sustained.

The following is a summary of the changes in the amount of unrecognized tax benefits (in thousands):



	Fiscal Year
	2013		2012
Unrecognized tax benefits at the beginning of the period	$	307	$	383
Decrease related to prior periods	—		(76		)
Increase related to prior periods	366		—
Unrecognized tax benefits	$	673	$	307

At June 30, 2013, there were no unrecognized tax benefits presented as a component of long-term liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. At June 30, 2013, there was $0.7 million presented as a reduction of the related deferred tax asset for which there is full valuation allowance, of which $0.5 million will affect the effective tax rate if recognized. However, the portion that would be recognized as an increase to deferred tax assets may result in a corresponding increase in the valuation allowance at the time of recognition resulting in no net effect to the effective tax rate, depending upon the Company's assessment of the likelihood of realization of the tax benefits at the time they are recognized.

F-18

Table of Contents

The Company believes it is reasonably possible that, within the next twelve months, the amount of unrecognized tax benefits may remain unchanged. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in its provision for income taxes. The Company had no material accrual for interest and penalties on its consolidated balance sheet at fiscal years ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, and recognized no interest and/or penalties in the consolidated statement of operations for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2013 and 2012.

The Company is subject to federal and state taxation in the United States and also in certain foreign tax jurisdictions. Generally, the Company's tax returns for fiscal 2010 and forward are subject to examination by the U. S. federal tax authorities and fiscal 2009 and forward are subject to examination by state tax authorities.

The Company's ability to use its net operating loss and research and development credit carryforwards may be substantially limited due to ownership change limitations that may have occurred or that could occur in the future, as required by Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, as well as similar state provisions. The Company has not completed a study to assess whether an ownership change has occurred or whether there have been multiple ownership changes since the Company became a “loss corporation” under the definition of Section 382. Due to the existence of the valuation allowance, it is not expected that any possible limitation will have an impact on the results of operations or financial position of the Company.

NOTE 6 — EQUITY

Sale of Common Stock

In February 2013, in a private placement transaction, the Company sold an aggregate of 1,020,409 shares of its common stock at $0.98 per share for gross proceeds of $1.0 million and net proceeds of approximately $0.9 million.

In March 2012, the Company sold an aggregate of 3,640,000 shares of its common stock at $2.00 per share for gross proceeds of approximately $7.3 million and net proceeds of approximately $6.6 million.

Issuance of Common Stock for Payment of Interest

In June 2013, the Company issued an aggregate of 348,490 shares of common stock at $1.15 per share to the holders of its outstanding convertible notes as payment of interest on such notes.

Warrants

In connection with the Company's March 2011 private placement, the Company issued warrants to purchase up to 3,807,331 shares of common stock. Each warrant has an exercise price of $1.71 per share of common stock. The warrants are immediately exercisable and have a five-year term. In connection with the offering and as partial compensation for the placement agent's services, the Company issued to the placement agent a warrant initially exercisable to purchase up to 259,591 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.71 per share; with other terms also substantially the same as the warrants issued to the purchasers. During fiscal 2013 and 2012, the Company issued zero and 12,464 shares of common stock, respectively, upon exercise of certain of these outstanding warrants.

In connection with the Company's February 2010 private placement, the Company issued warrants to purchase up to 6,373,266 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $2.583 per share. In connection with this transaction, the Company issued a warrant to purchase up to 180,865 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $2.952 per share to the placement agent. The warrants are immediately exercisable, have a five-year term, and provide for weighted-average anti-dilution protection in the event that the Company issues additional securities at a price less than the then-effective exercise price of the warrants. Reflective of previous anti-dilution adjustments, the number of outstanding warrants to purchase shares of common stock associated with the February 2010 private placement at June 30, 2012 was 8,368,135 shares with a per share strike price of $1.967. As part of the February 2013 sale of common stock, and the payment of convertible notes interest in shares of common stock, the number of shares of common stock was adjusted from 8,368,135 shares to 9,295,459 shares, net of shares previously issued, and the per share strike price of such warrants was proportionately decreased from $1.967 to $1.756, each as a result of the weighted-average anti-dilution provisions in the warrants. During fiscal 2013 and 2012, the Company issued zero and 70,203 shares of common stock, respectively, upon exercise of certain of these outstanding warrants.

In connection with the Company's November 2009 public offering, the Company issued a warrant for the purchase of 103,500 shares of the Company's common stock at $2.625 per share to the underwriter of the offering. The warrant may be exercised at any time beginning on October 25, 2010 and ending on October 30, 2014. As of June 30, 2013, the warrant had not been exercised.

NOTE 7 — SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

Equity Compensation Plans

The Company has three active stock option plans administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. As of June 30, 2013, the Company had reserved an aggregate of 6.2 million shares of common stock for issuance under its three active plans: the 2000 Stock Option Plan (“2000 Plan”), the 2003 Equity Incentive Plan (“2003 Plan”) and the 2009 Equity Incentive Plan (“2009 Plan”) (collectively, the “Option Plans”). The Option Plans provide for the granting of stock and option awards. Currently, the Company may grant new awards only under the 2009 Plan. The 2009 Plan provides for the granting of restricted stock, stock units, stock options and stock appreciation rights. The Option Plans were approved by the Company's shareholders. The Compensation Committee may also grant options outside of the Option Plans as an inducement to an employee commencing employment with the Company (“Inducement Options”). As of June 30, 2013, the Company had reserved an aggregate of 0.5 million shares of common stock for the issuance of Inducement Options.

Option and stock awards granted generally vest over a three-year period. Option awards generally expire after a period not to exceed six years, except in the event of termination, whereupon vested shares must be exercised generally within three months under the 2009 Plan and 2003 Plan and within 30 days under the 2000 Plan, or upon death or disability, in which case an extended six- or twelve-month exercise period is specified. As of June 30, 2013, approximately 2.3 million shares were available for grant in the future under the Option Plans.

Stock Options

The fair value of each option is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which uses the weighted-average assumptions noted in the following table.



	Fiscal Year
	2013		2012
Expected volatility	78.6	%	75.0	%
Risk-free interest rate	0.9	%	1.1	%
Dividend yield	—		—
Expected term (in years)	6		6

The Company utilizes a volatility study for expected volatility, which takes into account such factors as the overall market conditions, the industry sector, and the expected and realistic pricing of equity instruments in the marketplace and is generally reflective of both historical and implied volatility. The Company applies a forfeiture rate based upon historical pre-vesting option cancellations. The risk-free interest rate is determined based upon a constant maturity U.S. Treasury security with a contractual life approximating the expected term of the option. The expected term of options granted is estimated based on a number of factors, including but not limited to the vesting term of the award, historical employee exercise behavior (for both options that have run their course and outstanding options), the expected volatility of the Company's stock and an employee's average length of service.

F-23

Table of Contents

The fair value of each restricted stock unit or award is the market price of the Company's stock on the date of grant and typically vests over three years. In fiscal 2013 and 2012, the fair value of restricted stock that vested was $4.2 million and $2.3 million, respectively. The Company recognized $4.2 million in both fiscal 2013 and 2012 for share-based compensation expense related to these awards.

As of June 30, 2013, there was a total of $4.7 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested equity-based compensation awards under the Option Plans and the Inducement Options. The expense associated with non-vested stock and options awards granted prior to June 30, 2013 is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.1 years.

Stock Appreciation Rights

In June 2011, the Company modified options, which had been granted to certain executives during fiscal 2010 to purchase 1.6 million shares of the Company's common stock, and reissued the options as SAR awards. No other terms of the awards changed. The purpose of the amendment and reissuance was to provide that, upon exercise, the SAR would be settled in cash or stock, at the discretion of the Company. Based on the SAR settlement provisions, and the Company's intentions, this modification changed these awards from equity-based instruments to liability-based instruments. As such, the fair value of the SAR awards is recalculated at each subsequent reporting period until settlement, and recorded as an adjustment to the liability. The Company uses a Black-Scholes valuation model to determine the fair value and recorded a current liability of $0.5 million and $1.3 million as of June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

As of June 30, 2013, there were 1.6 million SAR awards vested with an exercise price of $2.49, a remaining contractual term of 2.6 years, and no intrinsic value. No SAR awards were exercised during fiscal 2013 and 2012.

2006 Employee Stock Purchase Plan

In February 2007, the Company adopted the 2006 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“2006 ESPP”). As of June 30, 2013, 541,000 shares of common stock were reserved for issuance under the 2006 ESPP.

Offerings under the 2006 ESPP are for a duration of six months and consist of one purchase interval. The 2006 ESPP limits stock purchases to (i) no more than $25,000 worth of stock in any calendar year and (ii) no more than 2,500 shares per individual per offering. Shares are purchased at 85% of the lower of the beginning or end of the period price. During fiscal 2013 and 2012, the Company issued 133,590 and 80,672 shares, respectively, and recognized approximately $30,000 and $25,000 as share-based compensation in fiscal 2013 and 2012, respectively.

NOTE 8 — 401K PLAN

The Company maintains an employee savings and retirement plan (the “401(k) Plan”) covering all of the Company's employees. The 401(k) Plan permits but does not require matching contributions by the Company on behalf of participants. The Company does not make matching contributions.

NOTE 9 — COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Leases

The Company leases its office, production and sales facilities under non-cancelable operating leases that expire in various years through fiscal year 2020. The leases provide for biennial or annual rent escalations intended to approximate increases in cost of living indices, and certain of the leases provide for rent abatement. The San Diego headquarter's lease expires in February 2014 and has a five-year option to renew. The San Jose facility's lease expires in May 2017 and has a five-year option to renew.

Litigation

From time to time, the Company may be involved in various lawsuits, legal proceedings or claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. Management does not believe any legal proceedings or claims pending at June 30, 2013 will have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on its business, liquidity, financial position or results of operations. Litigation, however, is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm the Company's business.

In August and October 2010, the Company filed patent infringement lawsuits in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California and United States International Trade Commission (“ITC”), respectively, against various parties. Both lawsuits claim infringement of two of the Company's U.S. Patents, Nos. 6,328,766 and 6,353,581.

In November 2011, the Company entered into a multi-year settlement and cross-licensing agreement with IBM pursuant to which the Company released all claims it had against IBM and Dell Inc. in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California and at the ITC. However, the Company's infringement case against BDT AG and its affiliates continues.

In July 2012, the ITC released the public version of the Initial Determination, which finds that the six asserted claims of U.S. Patent No. 6,328,766 are valid. The Initial Determination finds no infringement of United States Patent No. 6,353,581. In November 2012, the full Commission issued an opinion that did not revisit the Chief Administrative Law Judge's conclusion that BDT's customers directly infringe every asserted claim of U.S. Patent No. 6,328,766, and affirmed the validity of the asserted claims of U.S. Patent No. 6,353,581. The Commission remanded certain aspects of the Chief Administrative Law Judge's validity findings for U.S. Patent No. 6,328,766. In December 2012, the Commission granted us a petition for reconsideration and further remanded the determination of whether BDT directly or indirectly infringes certain claims of U.S. Patent No. 6,353,581 to the Chief Administrative Law Judge. In March 2013, the Chief Administrative Law Judge of the ITC issued a public notice of the Remand Initial Determination. The Remand Initial Determination held that there is no infringement of certain claims of U.S. Patent No. 6,353,581, and that the six asserted claims of U.S. Patent No. 6,328,766 are invalid as anticipated. In April 2013, the ITC issued a public notice of the Remand Initial Determination. In May 2013, the ITC granted in part the Company's request to review the Remand Initial Determination, and reviewed the findings that BDT's FlexStor II^® product line does not infringe one claim of U.S. Patent No. 6,353,581, and that the asserted claims of U.S. Patent No. 6,328,766 are invalid as anticipated.

In June 2012, the Company filed five additional patent infringement lawsuits in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California against seven companies. In these lawsuits the Company has asserted claims of infringement on one or both of the following U.S. Patent Nos. owned by the Company: 6,328,766 and 6,353,581, against the following defendants: Quantum Corporation, based in San Jose, California; Spectra Logic Corporation, based in Boulder, Colorado; PivotStor, Inc., based in Irvine, California; Qualstar Corporation, based in Simi Valley, California; Tandberg Data GmbH, based

in Germany; Tandberg Data Corp., based in Westminster, Colorado; and Venture Corporation Limited, based in Singapore. In February 2013, the Company filed a joint motion to dismiss its case against Tandberg without prejudice.

In August 2012, Quantum Corporation (“Quantum”) filed counterclaims against the Company in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California action, alleging trademark infringement and unfair competition claims, and infringement of U.S. Patent Nos. 5,491,812, 6,542,787, 6,498,771 and 5,925,119 by its products. In April 2013, Quantum filed a complaint against the Company in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California alleging infringement of U.S. Patent No. 7,263,596 by the Company's products. Quantum is seeking monetary damages from the Company and injunctive relief.

In May 2013, Safe Storage LLC (“Safe Storage”), a Delaware limited liability company, filed a complaint against the Company in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware alleging infringement of U.S. Patent No. 6,978,346 by the Company's products. Safe Storage is seeking monetary damages from the Company and injunctive relief.

NOTE 11 — SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Related-Party Transactions

In July 2013, the Company entered into a supply agreement, and a technology license agreement, with Sphere 3D (“Sphere 3D”). As consideration for the transactions contemplated by the technology license agreement, the Company paid Sphere 3D $250,000 in cash and issued Sphere 3D 213,220 shares of its common stock, with a value at the time of issuance of approximately $250,000. As partial payment under the supply agreement, Sphere 3D issued 769,231 common shares with a value as of the date of issuance equal to approximately $0.5 million to the Company.

In connection with the Sphere 3D transaction, Eric Kelly, the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer, was appointed the chairman of the board of directors of Sphere 3D. Mr. Kelly was also awarded an option to purchase up to 850,000 shares of common stock of Sphere 3D with an exercise price of $0.65 CAD, or approximately $0.63, which we believe represents approximately 5% of Sphere 3D's outstanding shares.
