Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

June 30, 2014

(unaudited)

1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Vicor Corporation (the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, these interim financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim period or the year ending December 31, 2014. The balance sheet at December 31, 2013 presented herein has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 (File No. 0-18277) filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

2. Short-Term and Long-Term Investments

As of June 30, 2014, the Company held auction rate securities that had experienced failed auctions totaling $6,000,000 at par value, all of which had been purchased through and are held by a broker-dealer affiliate of Bank of America, N.A. (the “Failed Auction Securities”). The Failed Auction Securities held by the Company are Aaa/AA+/A3/BBB rated by major credit rating agencies, collateralized by student loans, and guaranteed by the U.S. Department of Education under the Federal Family Education Loan Program. Management is not aware of any reason to believe any of the issuers of the Failed Auction Securities are presently at risk of default. Through June 30, 2014, the Company has continued to receive interest payments on the Failed Auction Securities in accordance with the terms of their respective indentures. Management believes the Company ultimately should be able to liquidate all of the Failed Auction Securities without significant loss primarily due to the overall quality of the issues held and the collateral securing the substantial majority of the underlying obligations. However, current conditions in the auction rate securities market have led management to conclude the recovery period for the Failed Auction Securities exceeds 12 months. As a result, the Company continued to classify the Failed Auction Securities as long-term as of June 30, 2014.

The following is a summary of available-for-sale securities (in thousands):


			Gross		Gross		Estimated
			Unrealized		Unrealized		Fair
June 30, 2014	Cost		Gains		Losses		Value
Failed Auction Securities	$	6,000	$	—	$	1,096	$	4,904
Brokered certificates of deposit		730		3		—		733

	$	6,730	$	3	$	1,096	$	5,637


			Gross		Gross		Estimated
			Unrealized		Unrealized		Fair
December 31, 2013	Cost		Gains		Losses		Value
Failed Auction Securities	$	6,000	$	—	$	1,175	$	4,825
Brokered certificates of deposit		820		6		—		826

	$	6,820	$	6	$	1,175	$	5,651

All of the Failed Auction Securities as of June 30, 2014 have been in an unrealized loss position for greater than 12 months.

The amortized cost and estimated fair value of available-for-sale securities on June 30, 2014, by contractual maturities, are shown below (in thousands):


			Estimated
	Cost		Fair Value
Due in one year or less	$	640	$	642
Due in two to ten years		90		91
Due in ten to twenty years		—		—
Due in twenty to forty years		6,000		4,904

	$	6,730	$	5,637

Based on the fair value measurements described in Note 3, the fair value of the Failed Auction Securities on June 30, 2014, with a par value of $6,000,000, was estimated by the Company to be approximately $4,904,000, an increase in fair value of $79,000 from December 31, 2013. The gross unrealized loss of $1,096,000 on the Failed Auction Securities consists of two types of estimated loss: an aggregate credit loss of $375,000 and an aggregate temporary impairment of $721,000. In determining the amount of credit loss, the Company compared the present value of cash flows expected to be collected to the amortized cost basis of the securities, considering credit default risk probabilities and changes in credit ratings as significant inputs, among other factors (See Note 3).

The following table represents a rollforward of the activity related to the credit (gain) loss recognized in earnings on available-for-sale auction rate securities held by the Company for the six months ended June 30 (in thousands):


	2014			2013
Balance at the beginning of the period	$	395		$	317
Changes in the amount related to credit (gain) loss for which other-than- temporary impairment was not previously recognized		(20	)		86
Reduction for security sold during the period		—			(7	)

Balance at the end of the period	$	375		$	396

At this time, the Company has no intent to sell any of the impaired Failed Auction Securities and does not believe it is more likely than not the Company will be required to sell any of these securities. If current market conditions deteriorate further, the Company may be required to record additional unrealized losses. If the credit rating of the security deteriorates, the Company may be required to adjust the carrying value of these investments through impairment charges recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations, and any such impairment adjustments may be material.

Based on the Company’s ability to access cash and cash equivalents and its expected operating cash flows, management does not anticipate the current lack of liquidity associated with the Failed Auction Securities held will affect the Company’s ability to execute its current operating plan.

3. Fair Value Measurements

The Company accounts for certain financial assets at fair value, defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. A three-level hierarchy is used to show the extent and level of judgment used to estimate fair value measurements.

Assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis include the following as of June 30, 2014 (in thousands):


	Using
	Quoted Prices in Active Markets (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)		Total Fair Value as of June 30, 2014
Cash Equivalents:
Money market funds	$	12,041	$	—	$	—	$	12,041
Short-term investments:
Brokered certificates of deposit		—		642		—		642
Long-term investments:
Failed Auction Securities		—		—		4,904		4,904
Brokered certificates of deposit		—		91		—		91

Assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis include the following as of December 31, 2013 (in thousands):


	Using
	Quoted Prices in Active Markets (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)		Total Fair Value as of December 31, 2013
Cash Equivalents:
Money market funds	$	12,407	$	—	$	—	$	12,407
Short-term investments:
Brokered certificates of deposit		—		463		—		463
Long-term investments:
Failed Auction Securities		—		—		4,825		4,825
Brokered certificates of deposit		—		363		—		363

The Company has brokered certificates of deposit classified as Level 2 because the fair value for these investments has been determined utilizing observable inputs from non-active markets. The fair values fluctuate with changes in market interest rates obtained from information available in publicly quoted markets. Management tested the reported fair values by comparing them to net present value calculations utilizing a discount rate based on U.S. Treasury bill and bond yields for similar maturities.

As of June 30, 2014, there was insufficient observable auction rate security market information available to determine the fair value of the Failed Auction Securities using Level 1 or Level 2 inputs. As such, the Company’s investments in Failed Auction Securities were deemed to require valuation using Level 3 inputs. Management, after consulting with advisors, valued the Failed Auction Securities using analyses and pricing models similar to those used by market participants (i.e., buyers, sellers, and the broker-dealers responsible for execution of the Dutch auction pricing mechanism by which each issue’s interest rate was set). Management utilized a probability weighted discounted cash flow (“DCF”) model to determine the estimated fair value of these securities as of June 30, 2014. The major assumptions used in preparing the DCF model included: estimates for the amount and timing of future interest and principal payments based on default probability assumptions used to measure the credit loss of 6.3%; the rate of return required by investors to own these securities in the current environment, which management estimates to be 5.0% above the risk free rate of return; and an estimated timeframe of three to five years for successful auctions for these securities to occur. In making these assumptions, management considered relevant factors including: the formula applicable to each security defining the interest rate paid to investors in the event of a failed auction (the “Penalty Rate”); forward projections of the interest rate benchmarks specified in such formulas; the likely timing of principal repayments; the probability of full repayment considering the guarantees by the U.S. Department of Education of the underlying student loans, guarantees by other third parties, and additional credit enhancements provided through other means; and publicly available pricing data for recently issued student loan asset-backed securities not subject to auctions. In developing its estimate of the rate of return required by investors to own these securities, management compared the Penalty Rates of the Failed Auction Securities with yields of actively traded long-term bonds with similar characteristics and, reflecting the limited liquidity for auction rate securities and the discounts to par value seen in recent tender offers by issuers and arms’ length market transactions between informed buyers and sellers, estimated the implied yield (i.e., the discount to par value) necessary to complete a sale of the Failed Auction Securities. Management has calculated an increase or decrease in the liquidity risk premium of 5.0% referenced above of 1.0% (i.e., 100 basis points) as used in the model, would decrease or increase, respectively, the fair value of the Failed Auction Securities by approximately $400,000.

For purposes of the valuation process for the Failed Auction Securities, “management” consists of senior members of the Company’s finance department. The fair value measurements for the Failed Auction Securities are reviewed and updated on a quarterly basis. The calculations are prepared by the Company’s Corporate Controller, in conjunction with information provided by its valuation advisors, and include the development and substantiation of the unobservable inputs. The methodology, assumptions, and calculations are reviewed and approved by the Company’s Chief Financial Officer and Chief Accounting Officer.

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s Failed Auction Securities are the cumulative probability of earning the maximum rate until maturity, the cumulative probability of principal return prior to maturity, the cumulative probability of default, the liquidity risk premium, and the recovery rate in default. Significant increases (decreases) in any of those inputs in isolation would result in changes in fair value measurement. Significant increases (decreases) in the cumulative probability of earning the maximum rate until maturity, the cumulative probability of principal return prior to maturity, and the recovery rate in default would result in a higher (lower) fair value measurement, while increases (decreases) in the cumulative probability of default and the liquidity risk premium would result in a lower (higher) fair value measurement.

Generally, the interrelationships are such that a change in the assumption used for the cumulative probability of principal return prior to maturity is accompanied by a directionally similar change in the assumption used for the cumulative probability of earning the maximum rate until maturity and a directionally opposite change in the assumptions used for the cumulative probability of default and the liquidity risk premium. The recovery rate in default is somewhat independent and based upon the securities’ specific underlying assets and published recovery rate indices.

Quantitative information about Level 3 fair value measurements as of June 30, 2014 are as follows (dollars in thousands):


				Range
		Valuation	Unobservable	(Weighted
	Fair Value	Technique	Input	Average)
Failed Auction Securities	$4,904	Discounted cash flow	Cumulative probability of earning the maximum rate until maturity	0.01% - 0.07% (0.04%)
			Cumulative probability of principal return prior to maturity	72.02% - 94.82% (83.42%)
			Cumulative probability of default	5.17% - 27.92% (16.55%)
			Liquidity risk premium	5.00% - 5.00% (5.00%)
			Recovery rate in default	40.00% - 40.00% (40.00%)

The following table summarizes the change in the estimated fair values calculated for those assets valued on a recurring basis utilizing Level 3 inputs (i.e., the Failed Auction Securities) for the six months ended June 30, 2014 (in thousands):


Balance at the beginning of the period	$	4,825
Credit gain on available-for-securities included in Other income, net		20
Unrealized gain included in Other comprehensive income (loss)		59

Balance at the end of the period	$	4,904

There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy during the six months ended June 30, 2014.

4. Stock-Based Compensation

The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to calculate the fair value of stock option awards as of their grant date. Stock-based compensation expense for the three and six months ended June 30 was as follows (in thousands):


	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
	June 30,				June 30,
	2014		2013		2014		2013
Cost of revenues	$	64	$	40	$	100	$	44
Selling, general and administrative		373		998		564		1,181
Research and development		100		101		107		177

Total stock-based compensation	$	537	$	1,139	$	771	$	1,402

Stock-based compensation was lower during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to the same periods in 2013, due to the completion of an exchange of outstanding employee stock options in the second quarter of 2013.

On December 31, 2010, the Company granted 2,984,250 non-qualified stock options under the VI Chip 2007 Stock Option and Incentive Plan with performance-based vesting provisions tied to achievement of certain margin targets by the VI Chip subsidiary.

As of December 31, 2010, the Company determined it was probable the margin targets could be achieved and, accordingly, began recording stock-based compensation expense relating to these options beginning January 1, 2011. This determination remains the same as of June 30, 2014 and, accordingly, expense has been recorded through that date. The unrecognized compensation expense for these performance-based options was approximately $683,000 as of June 30, 2014.

5. Net Loss per Share

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted loss per share for the three and six months ended June 30 (in thousands, except per share amounts):


	Three Months Ended						Six Months Ended
	June 30,						June 30,
	2014			2013			2014			2013
Numerator:
Net loss attributable to Vicor Corporation	$	(4,835	)	$	(4,616	)	$	(10,213	)	$	(9,606	)

Denominator:
Denominator for basic loss per share-weighted average shares (1)		38,542			38,538			38,541			39,852
Effect of dilutive securities:
Employee stock options (2)		—			—			—			—

Denominator for diluted loss per share – adjusted weighted-average shares and assumed conversions		38,542			38,538			38,541			39,852

Basic loss per share	$	(0.13	)	$	(0.12	)	$	(0.26	)	$	(0.24	)

Diluted loss per share	$	(0.13	)	$	(0.12	)	$	(0.26	)	$	(0.24	)

(1)	Denominator represents weighted average number of shares of Common Stock and Class B Common Stock outstanding.

(2)

Options to purchase 2,038,599 shares of Common Stock for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 were not included in the calculation of net loss per share as the effect would have been antidilutive. Options to purchase 861,958 and 733,120 shares of Common Stock for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, were not included in the calculation of net loss per share as the effect would have been antidilutive.

6. Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (determined using the first-in, first-out method) or net realizable value. Fixed production overhead is allocated to the inventory cost per unit based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. Abnormal production costs, including fixed cost variances from normal production capacity, if any, are charged to cost of revenues in the period incurred. All shipping and handling costs incurred in connection with the sale of products are included in cost of revenues.

The Company provides reserves for inventories estimated to be excess, obsolete or unmarketable. The Company’s estimation process for assessing net realizable value is based upon its known backlog, projected future demand and expected market conditions, and historical usage. If the Company’s estimated demand and/or market expectation were to change or if product sales were to decline, the Company’s estimation process may cause larger inventory reserves to be recorded, resulting in larger charges to cost of revenues.

7. Other Investments

The Company’s gross investment in non-voting convertible preferred stock of Great Wall Semiconductor Corporation (“GWS”) totaled $5,000,000 as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, giving the Company an approximately 27% ownership interest in GWS. GWS and its subsidiary design and sell semiconductors, conduct research and development activities, develop and license patents, and litigate against those who infringe upon its patented technologies. A director of the Company is the founder, Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), as well as the majority voting shareholder, of GWS. The Company and GWS are parties to an intellectual property cross-licensing agreement, a license agreement and two supply agreements under which the Company purchases certain components from GWS. Purchases from GWS totaled approximately $1,496,000 and $433,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2014, and 2013, respectively. The Company owed GWS approximately $166,000 and $152,000 as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

The Company accounts for its investment in GWS under the equity method of accounting. The Company has determined that, while GWS is a variable interest entity, the Company is not the primary beneficiary. The key factors in the Company’s assessment were that the CEO of GWS has: (i) the power to direct the activities of GWS that most significantly impact its economic performance, and (ii) has an obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from GWS, respectively, that could potentially be significant to GWS.

The balance in the Company’s net investment in GWS was zero as of June 30, 2014, and December 31, 2013.

8. Product Warranties

The Company generally offers a two-year warranty for all of its products. The Company provides for the estimated cost of product warranties at the time product revenue is recognized. Factors that affect the Company’s warranty reserves include the number of units sold, historical and anticipated rates of warranty returns, and the cost per return. The Company assesses the adequacy of the warranty reserves and adjusts the amounts as necessary. Warranty obligations are included in “Accrued expenses” in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Product warranty activity for the three and six months ended June 30, was as follows (in thousands):


	Three Months Ended						Six Months Ended

Balance at the end of the period	$	225		$	329		$	225		$	329

9. Income Taxes

The tax provision is based on the estimated annual effective tax rate for the year, which includes estimated federal, state and foreign income taxes (benefit) on the Company’s projected annual pre-tax income (loss) and estimated federal and state income taxes for certain noncontrolling interest subsidiaries that are not part of the Company’s consolidated income tax returns.

The provision (benefit) for income taxes and the effective income tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, were as follows (in thousands):


	Three Months Ended						Six Months Ended
	June 30,						June 30,
	2014			2013			2014			2013
Provision (benefit) for income taxes	$	—		$	(2,436	)	$	17		$	(5,931	)
Effective income tax rate		0.0	%		(34.6	%)		0.2	%		(38.2	%)

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, no tax benefit could be recognized for the majority of the Company’s losses due to a full valuation allowance against all domestic deferred tax assets. The provision for the six months ended June 30, 2014 is primarily due to state taxes. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, a net income tax benefit was recorded primarily due to an increase in net federal deferred tax assets not covered by a valuation allowance at that time, a potential net operating loss carryback for federal income tax purposes and the recognition of a benefit from the federal research tax credit for 2012 of $549,000, as a discrete item in the first quarter of 2013. The federal research tax credit for 2012 and 2013 was extended on January 2, 2013 pursuant to the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012.

As of June 30, 2014, the Company has a valuation allowance of approximately $20,194,000 primarily against all domestic net deferred tax assets, for which realization cannot be considered more likely than not at this time. Management assesses the need for the valuation allowance on a quarterly basis. In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, the Company considers all positive and negative evidence, including scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies, and past financial performance. In 2013, the Company recorded an increase to the valuation allowance of approximately $10,241,000 for all remaining domestic net deferred tax assets not previously covered by a valuation allowance due to the following factors: (1) the Company’s forecast of future taxable income, of the appropriate nature, based on its quarterly assessment was not sufficient to support the recoverability of the remaining domestic deferred tax assets; (2) recent cumulative losses and the Company’s projection of continued losses into 2014; (3) while the Company has the ability to carryback federal net operating losses or credits to utilize against federal taxable income, it will generate only $1,600,000 in cash refunds; and (4) the lack of prudent and feasible tax planning strategies. These assessment factors remain unchanged, as does management’s conclusion concerning the need for a full valuation allowance against all domestic net deferred tax assets, as of June 30, 2014. The valuation

-12-

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

June 30, 2014

(unaudited)

allowance against these deferred tax assets may require adjustment in the future based on changes in the mix of temporary differences, changes in tax laws, and operating performance. If and when management determines the valuation allowance should be released, the adjustment would result in a tax benefit in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and may include a portion to be accounted for through “Additional paid-in capital”, a component of Stockholders’ Equity. The amount of the tax benefit to be recorded in a particular quarter could be material.

In August 2013, the Company received notice from the Internal Revenue Service that its federal corporate tax returns for the tax years 2010 and 2011 had been selected for examination. The examination fieldwork has been completed and the Company received the examination report in early July 2014. Based on the report, the results of the examination will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements. The Company expects the report will be finalized and examination officially closed in the third quarter of 2014.

The Company’s subsidiary in Italy, Vicor Italy S.r.l. (“Vicor Italy”), recently underwent a tax inspection for tax years 2009 – 2013, covering corporation, regional and value added taxes. Vicor Italy received a preliminary tax audit report dated June 30, 2014. The Company is in the process of evaluating the report and, while management believes it is too early to determine the likelihood or amount of potential liability at this time, it does not believe the ultimate impact of this matter will be material to the Company’s financial statements.

There are no other income tax examinations or audits currently in process.

10. Commitments and Contingencies

At June 30, 2014, the Company had approximately $909,000 of capital expenditure commitments.

On January 28, 2011, SynQor, Inc. (“SynQor”) filed a complaint for patent infringement against Ericsson, Inc. (“Ericsson”), Cisco Systems, Inc. (“Cisco”) and the Company in U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas (“the Texas Action”). This immediately followed a complaint filed by the Company on January 26, 2011, in U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts, in which the Company sought a declaratory judgment that its bus converter products do not infringe any valid claim of certain of SynQor’s U.S. patents, and that the claims of those patents are invalid. SynQor and Ericsson subsequently entered into a definitive settlement agreement in May 2011 in which they, among other terms and conditions, agreed to mutual releases and a dismissal with prejudice of all claims asserted against each other in the litigation. With respect to the Company, SynQor’s complaint alleges the Company’s products, including, but not limited to, unregulated bus converters used in intermediate bus architecture power supply systems, infringe certain SynQor patents. SynQor seeks, among other items, an injunction against further infringement and an award of unspecified compensatory and enhanced damages, interest, costs and attorney fees. On February 8, 2011, SynQor filed a motion for preliminary injunction seeking an order enjoining the Company from manufacturing, using, selling, and offering for sale in the United States and/or importing into the United States certain identified unregulated bus converters, as well as any other bus converters not significantly different from those products. On February 17, 2011, the Company withdrew its Massachusetts action without prejudice to allow the litigation to proceed in Texas. On May 16, 2011, SynQor announced it was withdrawing its motion for preliminary injunction against the Company. On September 16, 2011, the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas issued an order setting a trial date of July 7, 2014. On September 20, 2011, SynQor filed an amended complaint in the Texas Action. The amended complaint repeated the allegations of patent infringement against the Company contained in SynQor’s original complaint, and included additional patent infringement allegations with respect to U.S. Patent No. 8,023,290 (“290 patent”), which was issued on that day. As with SynQor’s original complaint, the amended complaint alleged that the Company’s products, including but not limited to the Company’s unregulated bus converters used in intermediate bus architecture power supply systems, infringed the asserted patents. On October 4, 2011, the Company filed an answer and counterclaims to SynQor’s amended complaint, in which the Company alleges the 290 patent is unenforceable because it was procured through inequitable conduct before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and seeks damages against SynQor for SynQor’s unfair and deceptive trade practices and tortious interference with prospective economic advantage in connection with SynQor’s allegations of patent infringement against the Company. On January 2, 2014, the court issued its claim construction order following a claim construction hearing held on December 17, 2013. On January 16, 2014, the Company filed a motion seeking reconsideration of certain aspects of the court’s claim construction ruling. On March 31, 2014, the court issued an order

-13-

VICOR CORPORATION

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

June 30, 2014

(unaudited)

severing the case against the Company and Cisco into two separate matters, with separate trials to be held with respect to SynQor’s claims against Cisco and SynQor’s claims against the Company. The court also has indicated that any trial will be held after September 2014. The Company continues to believe that none of its products, including its unregulated bus converters, infringe any valid claim of the asserted SynQor patents, either alone or when used in an intermediate bus architecture implementation. The Company believes SynQor’s claims lack merit and, therefore, continues to vigorously defend itself against SynQor’s patent infringement allegations. The Company does not believe a loss is probable for this matter. If a loss were to be incurred, though, the Company cannot estimate the amount of possible loss or range of possible loss at this time.

In addition, the Company is involved in certain other litigation and claims incidental to the conduct of its business. While the outcome of lawsuits and claims against the Company cannot be predicted with certainty, management does not expect any current litigation or claims to have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

11. Segment Information

The Company has organized its business segments according to its key product lines. The Brick Business Unit segment (“BBU”) designs, develops, manufactures and markets the Company’s modular power converters and configurable products, and also includes the operations of the Company’s Westcor division, the six entities comprising Vicor Custom Power, and the BBU operations of Vicor Japan Company, Ltd. (“VJCL”). The VI Chip segment includes VI Chip Corporation, which designs, develops, manufactures and markets the Company’s factorized power architecture (“FPA”) products. The VI Chip segment also includes the VI Chip business conducted through VJCL. The Picor segment includes Picor Corporation, which designs, develops, manufactures and markets integrated circuits and related products for use in a variety of power management and power system applications. Picor develops these products to be sold as part of the Company’s products or to third parties for separate applications.

The Company’s chief operating decision maker evaluates performance and allocates resources based on segment revenues and segment operating income (loss). The operating income (loss) for each segment includes selling, general and administrative and research and development expenses directly attributable to the segment. Certain of the Company’s indirect overhead costs, which include corporate selling, general and administrative expenses, are allocated among the segments based upon an estimate of costs associated with each segment. Assets allocated to each segment are based upon specific identification of such assets, which include accounts receivable, inventories, fixed assets and certain other assets. The Corporate segment consists of those operations and assets shared by all segments. The costs of certain centralized executive and administrative functions are recorded in this segment, as are certain shared assets, most notably cash and cash equivalents, deferred tax assets, long-term investments, the Company’s facilities in Massachusetts, real estate and other assets. The Company’s accounting policies and method of presentation for segments are consistent with that used throughout the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

The elimination for net revenues is principally related to inter-segment revenues of Picor to BBU and VI Chip and for inter-segment revenues of VI Chip to BBU. The elimination for total assets is principally related to inter-segment accounts receivable due to BBU for the funding of VI Chip and Picor operations.

12. Risks and Uncertainties

On July 16, 2014, the U.S. Department of the Treasury imposed new economic sanctions against Russian entities, targeting major banks and energy companies and a significant portion of the Russian defense industry, along with certain other parties. Although the Company sells its products in Russia through three independent distributors, against which the sanctions are not applicable, certain end-customers of these independent distributors have been identified as sanctioned entities. As of June 30, 2014, while backlog indirectly associated with these sanctioned entities was negligible, outstanding accounts receivable due from an independent distributor associated with sales to a sanctioned end-customer totaled approximately $906,000. The Company has no reason to believe it will not collect this amount from its independent distributor, although, given the current circumstances, management will carefully monitor the collectability of the outstanding amount, as well as the compliance of its distribution partners in the Russian market with U.S. trade restrictions, including the recent sanctions.

13. Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued new guidance for revenue recognition, which will require an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The new guidance will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles when it becomes effective which, for the Company, will be on January 1, 2017. Early application is not permitted. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. The Company is evaluating the effect the new guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. The Company has not yet selected a transition method nor has it determined the effect of the standard on its ongoing financial reporting.

Effective January 1, 2014, the Company adopted new accounting guidance related to the financial statement presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists. The guidance requires an unrecognized tax benefit to be presented as a decrease in a deferred tax asset where a net operating loss, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists and certain criteria are met. The adoption of this new guidance did not impact the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of

Financial Condition and Results of Operation

June 30, 2014

Our bookings, revenues, and operating results to date in 2014 continue to be negatively influenced by macroeconomic conditions across markets and geographies, the consequences of customer concentration, and slower than anticipated customer adoption of our new products. Additionally, our operating results have been negatively impacted recently by the high cost of litigation. Certain markets in which we have historically focused remain weak, notably defense electronics. Geographically, European demand remains weak due to economic uncertainty across much of the region. Because we are shifting our strategy toward serving fewer, higher volume customers with our innovative new products, we currently are vulnerable to swings in demand from a relatively small number of early adopting customers, although our objective is to diversify our customer base, given the breadth of applications of these new products. However, until customer adoption of these new products accelerates, we may not achieve such customer diversification.

On July 16, 2014, the U.S. Department of the Treasury imposed new economic sanctions against Russian entities, targeting major banks and energy companies and a significant portion of the Russian defense industry, along with certain other parties. Although we sell our products in Russia through three independent distributors, against which the sanctions are not applicable, certain end-customers of these independent distributors have been identified as sanctioned entities. As of June 30, 2014, while backlog indirectly associated with these sanctioned entities was negligible, outstanding accounts receivable due from an independent distributor associated with sales to a sanctioned end-customer totaled approximately $906,000. We have no reason to believe we will not collect this amount from our independent distributor, although, given the current circumstances, we will carefully monitor the collectability of the outstanding amount, as well as the compliance of our distribution partners in the Russian market with U.S. trade restrictions, including the recent sanctions.

Revenues for the second quarter of 2014 increased by 13.9% to $53,361,000 from $46,865,000 for the corresponding period in 2013, and increased by 0.2% on a sequential basis from $53,233,000 for the first quarter of 2014. Export sales as a percentage of total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 were approximately 57% and 58%, respectively. Gross margin increased to $22,662,000 for the second quarter of 2014 from $18,461,000 in the second quarter of 2013, but decreased on a sequential basis from $22,792,000 for the first quarter of 2014. Gross margin as a percentage of revenue increased to 42.5% for the second quarter of 2014 compared to 39.4% for the second quarter of 2013, but decreased on a sequential basis from 42.8% for the first quarter of 2014.

Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2014 increased by 20.0% to $106,594,000 from $88,811,000 for the corresponding period in 2013. Export sales as a percentage of total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 were approximately 59% and 56%, respectively. Gross margin increased to $45,454,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2014 from $35,068,000 for the corresponding period in 2013. Gross margin as a percentage of revenue increased to 42.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to 39.5% for the corresponding period a year ago.

Backlog, representing the total of orders for products for which shipment is scheduled within the next 12 months, was $45,648,000 at the end of the second quarter of 2014, as compared to $41,562,000 at the end of the first quarter of 2014.

Operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2014 increased $2,233,000, or 8.8%, to $27,676,000 from $25,443,000 for the corresponding period in 2013, due to an increase in selling, general and administrative expenses of $1,578,000 and research and development expenses of $655,000. The primary elements of the increase in selling, general and administrative expenses were legal fees of $2,162,000, partially offset by decreases in bad debt expense of $245,000, training and professional development of $175,000, and stockholder reporting of $130,000. The increase in legal fees is due to the ongoing litigation with SynQor, Inc. The primary elements of the increase in research and development expenses were compensation expenses of $300,000, project and pre-production materials of $176,000, deferred costs of $97,000, and depreciation and amortization of $55,000.

Operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2014 increased $5,361,000, or 10.6%, to $55,907,000 from $50,546,000 for the corresponding period in 2013, primarily due to an increase in selling, general and administrative expenses of $5,671,000 and research and development expenses of $1,051,000. The primary elements of the increase in selling, general and administrative expenses were legal fees of $5,158,000, compensation expenses of $647,000, commissions expense of $222,000, and depreciation and amortization expenses of $115,000, partially offset by decreases in bad debt expense of $214,000, advertising expenses of $193,000,

training and development expenses of $168,000, stockholder reporting of $122,000, and outside services of $113,000. The increase in legal fees is due to the ongoing litigation with SynQor, Inc. The primary elements of the increase in research and development expenses were project and pre-production materials of $507,000, compensation expenses of $232,000, depreciation and amortization of $123,000, and deferred costs of $85,000.

During the first quarter of 2013, we recorded a pre-tax charge of $1,361,000 for severance and other employee-related costs for a workforce reduction initiated and completed in February 2013.

Net loss attributable to Vicor Corporation for the second quarter of 2014 was $(4,835,000), or $(0.13) per share, compared to net loss attributable to Vicor Corporation of $(4,616,000), or $(0.12) per share, for the second quarter of 2013, and net loss attributable to Vicor Corporation of $(5,378,000), or $(0.14) per share, for the first quarter of 2014.

Net loss attributable to Vicor Corporation for the six months ended June 30, 2014, was $(10,213,000), or $(0.26) per share, compared to net loss attributable to Vicor Corporation of $(9,606,000), or $(0.24) per share, for the corresponding period a year ago.

For the six months ended June 30, 2014, depreciation and amortization totaled $4,854,000 and capital additions totaled $3,481,000, compared to $5,028,000 and $2,543,000, respectively, for the first six months of 2013.

Inventories decreased by approximately $468,000 or 1.6% to $29,228,000, compared to $29,696,000 at December 31, 2013. This decrease was associated with a decrease in BBU inventories of $507,000, partially offset by an increase in VI Chip inventories of $45,000.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Please refer to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 for a summary of the critical accounting policies and estimates.

Three months ended June 30, 2014, compared to three months ended June 30, 2013

Net revenues for the second quarter of 2014 were $53,361,000, an increase of $6,496,000 or 13.9% as compared to $46,865,000 for the same period a year ago, and an increase of 0.2% on a sequential basis from the first quarter of 2014.

The components of net revenues for the three months ended June 30, were as follows (dollars in thousands):


					Increase (decrease)
	2014		2013		$			%
BBU	$	47,885	$	40,211	$	7,674			19.1	%
VI Chip		4,198		6,044		(1,846	)		(30.5	)%
Picor		1,278		610		668			109.5	%

Total	$	53,361	$	46,865	$	6,496			13.9	%

The overall increase in net revenues during the second quarter of 2014 compared to 2013 was primarily due to increased BBU bookings in the first quarter of 2014 compared to the first quarter of 2013. The increase in BBU revenues is primarily attributed to increases in BBU component revenues of approximately $4,328,000, Vicor Custom Power revenues of approximately $2,736,000, and Vicor Japan revenues of approximately $555,000. The decline in VI Chip revenues was expected, as the segment’s major datacenter customer is transitioning to a new VI Chip product platform. Net revenues increased sequentially from the first quarter of 2014 by $128,000, or 0.2%. Overall bookings during the three months ended June 30, 2014 decreased by 5.9% compared to the same period in 2013, but increased sequentially from the first quarter of 2014 by 14.6%.

Gross margin as a percentage of net revenues increased to 42.5% from 39.4%. The increase in gross margin and gross margin percentage was primarily due to the increase in net revenues and the shift to a larger proportion of higher margin BBU products.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $17,033,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2014, an increase of $1,578,000, or 10.2%, compared to $15,455,000 for the same period in 2013. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net revenues decreased to 31.9% from 33.0% for the same period in 2013, due to the increase in net revenues.

Research and development expenses were $10,643,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2014, an increase of $655,000, or 6.6%, compared to $9,988,000 for the same period in 2013. As a percentage of net revenues, research and development expenses decreased to 19.9% from 21.3% for the same period in 2013, due to the increase in net revenues.

The components of the $655,000 increase in research and development expenses were as follows (in thousands):

(1)	Increase primarily attributed to annual compensation adjustments in May 2014.

(2)	Increase primarily attributed to an increase in materials used in the development of VI Chip products.

(3)	Increase primarily attributed to a decrease in deferred costs capitalized for certain non-recurring engineering projects for which the related revenues have been deferred.

(4)	Decrease primarily attributed to decreased use of outside services and subcontract labor.

The significant changes in the components of the “Other income, net” were as follows (in thousands):

Our exposure to market risk for fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates relates primarily to the operations of VJCL, for which the functional currency is the Japanese yen. The functional currency of our subsidiaries in Europe and other subsidiaries in Asia is the U.S. dollar. The decrease in interest income for the period was due to lower average balances on our short-term and long-term investments as well as a general decrease in interest rates.

Loss before income taxes was $(4,932,000) for the second quarter of 2014, as compared to $(7,036,000) for the same period in 2013.

Provision (benefit) for income taxes	$	—		$	(2,436	)
Effective income tax rate		0.0	%		(34.6	%)

For the three months ended June 30, 2014, no tax benefit could be recognized for the majority of our losses due to a full valuation allowance against all domestic deferred tax assets. For the three months ended June 30, 2013, a net income tax benefit was recorded primarily due to an increase in net federal deferred tax assets not covered by a valuation allowance at that time, a potential net operating loss carryback for federal income tax purposes, and the recognition of a benefit from the federal research tax credit for 2013. The federal research tax credit for 2013 was extended on January 2, 2013 pursuant to the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012.

Net loss per share attributable to Vicor Corporation was $(0.13) for the second quarter of 2014, compared to net loss per share of $(0.12) for the second quarter of 2013.

Six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to six months ended June 30, 2013

Net revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2014 were $106,594,000, an increase of $17,783,000 or 20.0%, as compared to $88,811,000 for the same period a year ago.

The components of net revenues for the six months ended June 30, were as follows (dollars in thousands):

Total	$	106,594	$	88,811	$	17,783		20.0	%

The overall increase in net revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was primarily due to an approximately 10% increase in bookings in the fourth quarter of 2013 and the first quarter of 2014, compared to the fourth quarter of 2012 and the first quarter of 2013. The increase in BBU revenues is primarily attributed to increases in BBU component revenues of approximately $7,820,000, Vicor Custom Power revenues of approximately $4,318,000, Vicor Japan revenues of approximately $679,000, and Westcor revenues of approximately $321,000. The increase in VI Chip revenues, specifically in the first quarter of 2014, was due to increased bookings in the second half of 2013 compared to the second half of 2012, primarily from the segment’s major datacenter customer. This customer placed additional orders for the original product platform, prior to transitioning to a new VI Chip product platform in the second quarter of 2014.

Gross margin for the first six months of 2014 increased $10,386,000, or 29.6%, to $45,454,000 from $35,068,000 in the same period a year ago. Gross margin as a percentage of net revenues increased to 42.6% from 39.5%. The increase in gross margin and gross margin percentage was primarily due to the increase in net revenues and to the shift to a larger proportion of higher margin BBU products.

For the six months ended June 30, 2014, no tax benefit could be recognized for the majority of our losses due to a full valuation allowance against all domestic deferred tax assets. The provision for the period is primarily due to state taxes. For the six months ended June 30, 2013, a net income tax benefit was recorded primarily due to an increase in net federal deferred tax assets not covered by a valuation allowance at that time, a potential net operating loss carryback for federal income tax purposes, and the recognition of a benefit from the federal research tax credit for 2012 of $549,000, as a discrete item in the first quarter of 2013. The federal research tax credit for 2012 and 2013 was extended on January 2, 2013 pursuant to the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012.

Net loss per share attributable to Vicor Corporation was $(0.26) for the first six months of 2014, compared to net loss per share of $(0.24) for the first six months of 2013.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At June 30, 2014, we had $50,805,000 in cash and cash equivalents. The ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 4.9:1 as of June 30, 2014 and 5.7:1 as of December 31, 2013. Working capital decreased $7,897,000 to $89,972,000 as of June 30, 2014 from $97,869,000 as of December 31, 2013.

The primary uses of cash for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was for operating activities of $2,221,000 and the purchase of equipment of $3,481,000.

In November 2000, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $30,000,000 of our Common Stock (the “November 2000 Plan”). The November 2000 Plan authorizes us to make such repurchases from time to time in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions. The timing and amounts of stock repurchases are at the discretion of management based on its view of economic and financial market conditions. We did not repurchase shares of Common Stock under the November 2000 Plan during the six months ended June 30, 2014. As of June 30, 2014, we had approximately $8,541,000 remaining under the November 2000 Plan.

VICOR CORPORATION

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of

Financial Condition and Results of Operation

June 30, 2014

Our primary liquidity needs are for making continuing investments in manufacturing equipment. We believe cash generated from operations and the total of our cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to fund planned operations and capital equipment purchases for the foreseeable future. We had approximately $909,000 of capital expenditure commitments, principally for manufacturing equipment, as of June 30, 2014.

As of June 30, 2014, we held $6,000,000 of auction rate securities at par value classified as long-term investments. Please see Note 2 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of the securities and our accounting treatment thereof.

Based on our ability to access cash and cash equivalents and our expected operating cash flows, we do not anticipate the current lack of liquidity of our auction rate securities will affect our ability to execute our current operating plan.

We do not consider the impact of inflation and changing prices on our business activities or fluctuations in the exchange rates for foreign currency transactions to have been significant during the last three fiscal years.

Item 3 — Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are exposed to a variety of market risks, including changes in interest rates affecting the return on our cash and cash equivalents and long-term investments, and fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. As our cash and cash equivalents consist principally of cash accounts and money market securities, which are short-term in nature, we believe our exposure to market risk on interest rate fluctuations for these investments is not significant. Our short-term and long-term investments consist mainly of municipal and corporate debt securities, of which the Failed Auction Securities represent a significant portion. While the Failed Auction Securities are Aaa/AA+/A3/BBB rated by major credit rating agencies, collateralized by student loans and guaranteed by the U.S. Department of Education under the Federal Family Education Loan Program, continued failure to sell at their reset dates could negatively impact the carrying value of the investments, in turn leading to impairment charges in future periods. Changes in the fair value of the Failed Auction Securities attributable to credit loss are recorded through earnings, with the remainder of any change recorded in “Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)”, a component of Stockholders’ Equity. Should a decline in the value of the Failed Auction Securities be other than temporary, the losses would be recorded in “Other income, net.” We do not believe there was an “other-than-temporary” decline in value in these securities as of June 30, 2014. (See Note 2 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional details).

Our exposure to market risk for fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates relates primarily to the operations of VJCL and changes in the dollar/yen exchange rate, as the functional currency of our subsidiaries in Europe and other subsidiaries in Asia is the U.S. dollar. Therefore, we believe market risk is mitigated since these operations are not materially exposed to foreign exchange fluctuations.

Item 4 — Controls and Procedures

(a) Disclosure regarding controls and procedures.

As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act, management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the last fiscal quarter (i.e., June 30, 2014). The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2014, our CEO and CFO concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. Accordingly, management, including the CEO and CFO, recognizes our disclosure controls or our internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. The design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Further, because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Projections of any control’s effectiveness to future periods are subject to risks. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures.
