CAUTIONARY STATEMENT RELATED TO FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain statements contained in this Form�10-Q may constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. We may also make forward-looking statements in other reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, in materials delivered to stockholders and in press releases. In addition, our representatives may from time to time make oral forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements provide current expectations of future events based on certain assumptions and include any statement that does not directly relate to any historical or current fact. Words such as anticipates, in the opinion, believes, intends, expects, may, will, should, could, plans, forecasts, estimates, predicts, projects, potential, continue, and similar expressions may be intended to identify forward-looking statements. We expressly disclaim any obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or changes to these forward-looking statements that may be made to reflect any future events or circumstances.

Actual future results could differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements as a result of a variety of factors, including those discussed in the section entitled Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in Part�I, Item�2, Legal Proceedings in Part�II, Item�1, and Risk Factors in Part�II, Item�1A of this Form�10-Q, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and included elsewhere herein. In addition to those factors, the factors listed below could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements:
"
faster than anticipated declines in the demand for storage networking and fiber channel and slower than expected growth of the converged networking market or the failure of our Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) customers to successfully incorporate our products into their systems;
"
the highly competitive nature of the markets for our products as well as pricing pressures that may result from such competitive conditions and the emergence of new or stronger competitors as a result of consolidation movements in the market;
"
our dependence on a limited number of customers and the effects of the loss of, decrease in or delays of orders by any such customers or the failure of our OEM customers to successfully incorporate our products into their systems;
"
our reliance on a limited number of third-party suppliers and subcontractors for components and assembly, many of which are located outside of the United States;
"
the effect on our margins of rapid migration of technology and product substitution by customers, including transitions from application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) solutions to boards for selected applications and higher-end to lower-end products, mezzanine card products or modular Local Area Network (LAN) on Motherboard (LOMs);
"
the non-linearity and variability in the level of our revenue resulting from the variable and seasonal procurement patterns of our customers;
"
any inadequacy of our intellectual property protection or our ability to obtain necessary licenses or other intellectual property rights on commercially reasonable terms;
"
our ability to attract and retain key technical personnel;
"
our ability to respond quickly to technological developments and to benefit from our research and development activities as well as government grants related thereto and delays in product development;
"
intellectual property and other litigation against us, with or without merit, that could result in substantial attorneys fees and costs, cause product shipment delays, loss of patent rights, monetary damages, costs associated with product or component redesigns and require us to indemnify customers or enter into royalty or licensing agreements, which may or may not be available;
"
our dependence on sales and product production outside of the United States so that our results could be affected by adverse economic, social, political and infrastructure conditions in those countries;
"
that we may fail to realize the anticipated benefits from the acquisition of Endace Limited (Endace) on a timely basis or at all which could result in an impairment of assets or be unable to complete the integration of Endaces technology into our existing operations in a timely and efficient manner;
"
the effect of any actual or potential unsolicited offers to acquire us, proxy contests or the activities of activist investors;
"
weakness in domestic and worldwide macro-economic conditions, currency exchange rate fluctuations or potential disruptions in world credit and equity markets; terrorist activities, natural disasters, or general economic or political instability and any resulting disruption in our supply chain or customer purchasing patterns; and
"
changes in tax rates or legislation, accounting standards and other regulatory changes.

EMULEX CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)
1. Basis of Presentation
In the opinion of the management of Emulex Corporation (Emulex or the Company), the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain adjustments, including normal recurring accruals necessary to present fairly the Companys consolidated financial position, results of operations, comprehensive loss, and cash flows. Interim results for the three months ended September�28, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending June�28, 2015. The accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June�29, 2014. The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements requires the use of estimates and actual results could differ materially from managements estimates.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Emulex and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
The Company has a 52 or 53-week fiscal year that ends on the Sunday nearest to June�30. Accordingly, every fifth or sixth fiscal year will be a 53-week fiscal year. Fiscal 2015 is a 52-week fiscal year. The last 53-week fiscal year was fiscal 2011.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards
On May 28, 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" (ASU 2014-09). The Company is currently evaluating the impact on its financial statements of the new revenue recognition guidance, which will become effective for the Company beginning in fiscal 2018.
2. Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (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. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The fair value hierarchy is based on three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable. A description of the three levels of inputs is as follows:
Level�1�-
Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level�2�-
Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities; and
Level�3�-
Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Non-recurring Basis
The Company measures the fair value of its assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination, and goodwill and other long lived assets when they are held for sale or determined to be impaired. There were no such non-recurring measurements during the first quarter of fiscal 2015.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments Not Measured at Fair Value
The total fair value of the Convertible Senior Notes at September�28, 2014 was $155.5 million, which was estimated based on recent market transaction prices, a Level 2 fair value measurement.

4. Goodwill and Intangible Assets, net
There was no activity in goodwill during the three months ended September�28, 2014.
The Company tests goodwill for impairment annually during the fourth fiscal quarter and at other times if events have occurred or circumstances exist that indicate the carrying value of goodwill may no longer be recoverable. Given the recent volatility of the Company's market capitalization, the inherent uncertainty in forecast and identification of triggering events, and the fact that the fair value of the Company's reporting units did not exceed their carrying value by a substantial margin

9

during the annual impairment test during the fourth fiscal quarter, it is possible that the Company's goodwill could become impaired in the near term.

6. Restructuring
Fourth Quarter of Fiscal 2014 Restructuring
During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014, the Company recorded restructuring charges of approximately $1.1 million primarily consisting of severance due to workforce reductions. These severance related charges are expected to be substantially paid in cash by the second quarter of fiscal 2015.
Second Quarter of Fiscal 2014 Restructuring
During the second quarter of fiscal 2014, the Company initiated a restructuring plan designed to streamline business operations and reduce operating expenses. The total restructuring charge was approximately $8.1 million. The restructuring actions include a reduction in workforce of approximately 15%, the consolidation of certain engineering facilities, and the closure of the Company's Bolton, Massachusetts facility. All restructuring actions impacted the Connectivity segment. The restructuring plan was substantially completed by the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2015.

7. Commitments and Contingencies
Litigation
Broadcom Patent Infringement Litigation
During fiscal 2010, Broadcom Corporation (Broadcom) filed a patent infringement lawsuit containing 300 claims against the Company alleging infringement of eleven patents. On April 3, 2012, United States District Court in the Central District of

11

California (District Court) issued a permanent injunction (2012 Permanent Injunction) against further sale of products found to infringe U.S. Patent 7,058,150 (the 150 patent) and 7,471,691 (the 691 patent), but permitting sales of products manufactured outside the U.S. to customers located outside the U.S., design around efforts including modifications and design, development, and testing to eliminate infringement, and service and technical support for certain products. This injunction remains in place but the effects have been mitigated in a number of ways. First, with product redesigns. Second, with license agreements from Broadcom to our customers whose products were affected by the injunction. Third, Broadcom and the Company entered into a settlement agreement on July 3, 2012 which provided the Company with a worldwide limited license to the 691 patent, the 150 patent, and U.S. Patents 6,424,194; 7,486,124 and 7,724,057 [collectively, the 194 Patent family], for certain fields of use including Fibre Channel applications. Under this settlement agreement, the Company paid a lump sum of approximately $58.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2013. Fourth, the Company and Broadcom entered into a Dismissal and Standstill Agreement described below.
Approximately $36.8 million of the $58.0 million payment was expensed in fiscal 2012. The remainder of approximately $21.2 million was recorded as prepaid license fees and is being amortized to cost of goods sold over the ten year license term in proportion to the estimated future revenues of such licensed technology. As of September�28, 2014, the unamortized prepaid license fee was approximately $12.1 million, of which approximately $3.6 million was recorded in prepaid expenses and other current assets and approximately $8.5 million was recorded in other assets. The Company recognized amortization expense related to such prepaid license fees of approximately $1.0 million during both the three months ended September�28, 2014 and September�29, 2013.
Effective March 30, 2014, the Company and Broadcom entered into a Dismissal and Standstill Agreement (the "Dismissal Agreement") pursuant to which the Company and Broadcom agreed to dismiss, without prejudice, certain claims that had been scheduled for retrial in September 2014 and not to pursue certain other claims for one year. The claims subject to standstill relate to the SerDes Patents (defined below) based solely on the use, manufacture, sale or import of certain Emulex products that were named in the original lawsuit. SerDes Patents means U.S. Patent Nos. 6,424,194; 7,038,516; 7,125,169; 7,486,124; and 7,724,057, and any reissues, foreign counterparts, continuations, continuations-in-part, divisionals or reexaminations of such patents. The Dismissal Agreement does not prevent, after the expiration of the one year standstill, Broadcom from bringing an infringement claim seeking an injunction or damages with respect to infringement of the SerDes Patents relating to the Standstill Products. In the Dismissal Agreement, Emulex agreed to pay Broadcom, a non-refundable, non-cancelable dismissal and standstill fee for $5 million, of which approximately $3.8 million was included in Accrued and Other Current Liabilities as of September 28, 2014.
Through September�28, 2014, the Company has incurred approximately $21.9 million of mitigation, product redesign and appeal related expenses, of which approximately $0.2 million and $2.5 million were recorded during the three months ended September�28, 2014 and September 29, 2013, respectively. The Company expects to incur incremental mitigation and appeal related expenses during fiscal 2015 up to approximately $0.3 million, to be recorded within operating expenses. In addition, the Company has agreed to participate in certain customer royalty obligations arising under license agreements with Broadcom with respect to the infringing products. Through September�28, 2014, the Company has recorded approximately $5.2 million in cost of sales related to such customer obligations, of which approximately $0.8 million and $0.5 million were recorded in cost of sales for the three months ended September�28, 2014 and September 29, 2013, respectively. The Company may incur additional amounts related to these obligations of approximately $5 million in future periods, all of which will reduce gross margins in the periods accrued.
While the Company has contractual commitments from its suppliers concerning the defense and indemnification of certain Broadcom claims relating to certain technology provided by such suppliers, and is pursuing certain claims for reimbursement against certain of its suppliers, it cannot be certain that such defense and indemnification obligations will be honored by such suppliers or that any related legal proceedings will result in any material reimbursement to the Company. This lawsuit continues to present risks with respect to U.S. sales of certain Ethernet products that could have a material adverse affect on the Companys business, financial condition, or results of operations, including loss of patent rights, monetary damages, potential reimbursement of customer indemnification liabilities or royalty obligations, and injunction against the sale of accused products.
Shareholder Lawsuits
On May 21, 2014, a derivative shareholder complaint was filed in the United States District Court in the Central District of California (Case No. 8:14-cv-0076-DOC-JCG) alleging damages incurred by Emulex and naming eight of the Company's eleven directors as defendants. The lawsuit alleges that Emulex was damaged by expenses for the repurchases of Emulex stock and by the implementation of cost reductions. An amended federal complaint was filed on July 14, 2014 in which the original plaintiff was dropped from the complaint and a different plaintiff was added. On August 15, 2014, the Company filed a motion to dismiss the complaint, which is scheduled to be heard on November 24, 2014. Management is unable to determine whether any loss will occur or to estimate the range of such loss, therefore, no amount of loss has been accrued.

12

On July 17, 2014, a derivative shareholder complaint was filed in the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of Orange (Case No. 30-2014-00734802-CU-SL-CXC) alleging damages incurred by Emulex and naming eight of the Company's eleven directors as defendants. The lawsuit alleges that Emulex was damaged by expenses for the repurchases of Emulex stock and by the implementation of cost reductions. On August 7, 2014, the parties filed a stipulation to stay the State Derivative Action pending the resolution of the motion to dismiss the Federal derivative action described in the preceding paragraph. Management is unable to determine whether any loss will occur or to estimate the range of such loss, therefore, no amount of loss has been accrued.
In addition to the ongoing litigation discussed above, the Company is involved in various claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the ultimate disposition of the open matters will not have a material adverse affect on the Companys consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
Other Commitments and Contingencies
The Company provides limited indemnification in selected circumstances within its various customer contracts whereby the Company indemnifies the parties to whom it sells its products with respect to the Companys product infringement of certain intellectual property, and in some limited cases against bodily injury or damage to real or tangible personal property caused by a defective Company product. It is not possible to predict the maximum potential amount of future payments under these or similar agreements, due to the conditional nature of the Companys obligations and the unique facts and circumstances involved in each particular agreement. As of September�28, 2014, the Company has not incurred any significant costs related to contractual indemnification of its customers.
8. Convertible Senior Notes
In November 2013, the Company issued $175.0 million aggregate principal amount of 1.75% Convertible Senior Notes due November�15, 2018 ("Convertible Senior Notes") in a private placement offering at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof. Interest is payable semi-annually in arrears on May 15 and November 15 of each year, commencing May 15, 2014. The Company may be required to pay additional interest upon occurrence in certain events as outlined in the indenture governing the Convertible Senior Notes. The Convertible Senior Notes are unsecured and rank senior to the Company's future indebtedness that is expressly subordinated to the Convertible Senior Notes, equal with existing and future indebtedness that are not so subordinated and junior to any future secured indebtedness, all existing and future debt and other liabilities of the Company's subsidiaries. As of September�28, 2014, the remaining term of the Convertible Senior Notes is 4.1 years.
The Convertible Senior Notes are convertible, subject to certain conditions, into shares of the Company's common stock at an initial conversion price of approximately $10.30 per share, or 97.13 shares of the Company's common stock per $1,000 in principal amount of the Convertible Senior Notes. The conversion rate is subject to adjustment for certain events as outlined in the indenture governing the Convertible Senior Notes. On or prior to August 15, 2018, holders may convert their Convertible Senior Notes at their option under the following circumstances: (1) during any fiscal quarter after December 29, 2013, if the closing price of the Company's common stock for at least 20 trading days during the period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price on each applicable trading day; (2) during the five business day period after any five consecutive trading day period in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Senior Notes was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of the Company's common stock and the applicable conversion rate on such date; or (3) upon the occurrence of certain corporate transactions or specified distributions described in the indenture. Upon conversion, the principal amount of the Convertible Senior Notes will be paid in cash and the conversion spread will be paid in shares or cash at the Companys election. As of September�28, 2014, the if-converted value of the Convertible Notes did not exceed its principal amount and none of the conditions allowing holders of the Convertible Senior Notes to convert had been met.
The Company may not redeem the Convertible Senior Notes prior to maturity. However, in the event of a fundamental change, as defined in the indenture, the holders of the Convertible Senior Notes have the option to require the Company to repurchase all or a portion of their Convertible Senior Notes at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Convertible Senior Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest. Holders who convert their Convertible Senior Notes in connection with a make-whole fundamental change, as defined in the indenture, may be entitled to an increase in the conversion rate.
Based on the terms of the embedded stock conversion option, the conversion option was determined to be indexed to the Company's stock. Accordingly, the conversion option was not accounted for separately as a derivative.
At the date of issuance, the Company separated the Convertible Senior Notes into liability and equity components. The liability component was determined by measuring the fair value of a similar instrument excluding the conversion feature. The equity component, which reflects the value of the conversion feature at issuance, was recognized as the difference between the proceeds from the issuance of the Convertible Senior Notes and the fair value of the liability component, and recorded as additional paid-in capital. The excess of the principal amount of the liability component over its carrying amount of

13

approximately $32.0 million is being amortized to interest expense over the term of the Convertible Senior Notes, using the effective interest rate method. The equity component is not remeasured as long as it continues to meet the conditions of equity classification.
The Company recorded total issuance costs of approximately $5.3 million, which have been allocated on a pro-rata basis to the debt and equity components, consistent with the allocation of the Convertible Senior Notes. The debt issuance costs attributable to the liability component of approximately $4.3 million were recorded in other assets and are being amortized over the term of the Convertible Senior Notes. The debt issuance costs attributable to the equity component of approximately $1.0 million were netted against the equity component of the Convertible Senior Notes and recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital. Debt issuance costs, net of amortization, were approximately $3.8 million as of September�28, 2014.

9. Share Repurchase Programs
In November 2013, the Company's Board of Directors approved a $200.0 million share repurchase program that superseded the existing share repurchase program authorized in August 2008. The share repurchases are authorized to be completed through the combination of individually negotiated transactions, accelerated share buybacks, and open market purchases.
As of September�28, 2014, the Company repurchased approximately 22.5 million shares, at an average price of $6.68, for a total of approximately $150.0 million, recorded as treasury stock. No shares were repurchased during the three months ended September�28, 2014.
As of September�28, 2014, approximately $50.0 million remains under the authorized repurchase program.

As of September�28, 2014, the liability related to Cash-Settled Unit Awards was approximately $0.6 million.

15

As of September�28, 2014, there was approximately $14.1 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested share-based compensation arrangements granted under the plans. Such cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 1.3 years.
11. Income Taxes
As of September�28, 2014, the liability for income taxes associated with uncertain tax positions was approximately $40.2 million for which a reasonably reliable estimate for the period of payment cannot be made. If fully recognized, approximately $26.5 million of such liability would impact the Companys effective tax rate. Absent any resolution of the on-going audit by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) discussed below, the Company does not expect that the liability for unrecognized tax benefits will change significantly within the next 12�months.
The Companys federal income tax returns for fiscal years 2008 to 2013 and California income tax returns for fiscal years 2008 to 2013 are open as the statutes of limitations have not yet expired or have been extended. The Company's federal income tax returns for fiscal 2010 to 2013 are currently under examination by the IRS. Additionally, the Companys California income tax returns for fiscal years 2008 and 2009 are currently under examination by the California Franchise Tax Board. The Company is also currently under audit by various state and international taxing authorities. In foreign jurisdictions, with few exceptions, the Company is subject to examinations for all years subsequent to fiscal 2010. The Company does not expect any audits for these foreign jurisdictions to have a material affect on the results of operations or financial position.
The IRS completed its examination of the Companys federal income tax returns for fiscal years 2008 and 2009 and the amended return filed for fiscal year 2007 and issued a 30-Day Letter in March 2014. In the 30-Day Letter, the IRS proposed adjustments related to the amount of "buy-in-payments" made by one of the international subsidiaries to the Company in connection with the cost-share agreement entered into by the Company and its international subsidiary in fiscal year 2008. The incremental tax liability asserted in the 30-Day Letter is approximately $70.0 million, excluding interest and penalties. Upon the 30th day from the issuance of the 30-Day Letter from the IRS, the Company began accruing additional interest and will continue to do so until resolution. The Company responded to the 30-Day Letter in May 2014, disagreeing with the IRS' proposed adjustments and the basis for its positions, and administratively appealed to the IRS Appeals Office. The IRS has assigned the audit to the IRS Office of Appeals in Los Angeles, California.
The Company has previously accrued for what it believes are adequate amounts of tax and related interest, if any, that may result from these state and federal examinations. Such accruals are reviewed quarterly and adjusted as events occur that affect potential liabilities for additional taxes, such as lapsing of applicable statutes of limitations, proposed assessments by tax authorities, negotiations with tax authorities, identification of new issues, and issuance of new regulations or case law. The ultimate resolution of these examinations could be substantially different from the Companys estimate of any potential associated liabilities, and any resulting adjustments could have a material adverse affect on Emulexs tax provision, net income/(loss) and cash flows.
12. Net Loss Per Share
Net loss per share was computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the three months ended September 28, 2014 and September 29, 2013:

The antidilutive stock options and unvested stock were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share due to the net losses in the periods presented.
As the principal amount of the Convertible Senior Notes (Note 8) will be settled in cash upon conversion, only the conversion spread relating to the Convertible Senior Notes will be included in the calculation of diluted net income per common share. As such, the Convertible Senior Notes will have no impact on diluted net income per common share until the price of the Company's common stock exceeds the conversion price (initially $10.30, subject to adjustments) of the Convertible Senior Notes. When the market price of the Company's stock exceeds the conversion price, the effect of the additional shares

16

that may be issued upon conversion of the Convertible Senior Notes will be included in the diluted net income per common share calculation. During the three month period ended September�28, 2014, there were no anti-dilutive shares resulting from the Convertible Senior Notes as the price of the Company's common stock did not exceed the conversion price.
13. Operating Segment Information
Emulex has two reportable business segments, Connectivity (formerly referred to as Networking) and Visibility. The Visibility segment was formed as a result of the acquisition of Endace on February�26, 2013. The Connectivity segment includes the operating results of Network Connectivity Products (NCP) and Storage Connectivity and Other Products (SCOP). The Visibility segment includes the operating results of Network Visibility Products (NVP) resulting from the Endace acquisition.
The chief operating decision maker measures the performance of each of these segments based on adjusted operating results. The operating results of each segment are adjusted for certain expenses and reflect an additional way of viewing aspects of the Company's operations, factors and trends. However, these measures should be considered as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, the corresponding measures calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

Item�2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Executive Overview
Emulex is a leader in network connectivity, monitoring and management solutions for global networks that support enterprise, cloud, government and telecommunications. During fiscal 2013, Emulex acquired 100% of the outstanding common stock of Endace Limited (Endace), a leading supplier of network visibility infrastructure products. Prior to the acquisition of Endace, Emulex operated within a single business segment. With the acquisition of Endace, Emulex formed the Visibility operating segment, which includes Network Visibility Products.
Emulexs products enable end-to-end application visibility, optimization and acceleration in the data center. The Companys Input/Output (I/O) connectivity products, including its line of ultra high-performance Ethernet and Fibre Channel-based connectivity products, have been designed into server and storage solutions from leading original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), including Cisco Systems, Inc. (Cisco), Dell Inc. (Dell), EMC Corporation (EMC), Fujitsu Ltd. (Fujitsu), Hewlett-Packard Company (Hewlett-Packard), Hitachi Data Systems (HDS), Huawei Technologies Company Ltd.

Business Operating Segments
With our acquisition of Endace, our network connectivity, monitoring and management solutions are now broken into two business operating segments consisting of three product lines. Beginning with the first quarter of fiscal 2014, our Connectivity Segment (formerly referred to as the Networking segment), which consists of legacy Emulex products, includes two product lines - Network Connectivity Products (NCP) and Storage Connectivity and Other Products (SCOP). We believe that this new product line reporting is more consistent with how third party analysts view our addressable networking segment markets, and will provide a more transparent view of our business. Our Visibility Segment consists of Network Visibility Products (NVP) acquired through the Endace acquisition.
Connectivity Segment Products:
NCP includes industry standard Fibre Channel and Ethernet-based solutions that provide server I/O and target storage array connectivity to create networks for mission-critical enterprise and cloud data centers.�These products enable servers to reliably and efficiently connect to Local Area Networks (LANs), Storage Area Networks (SANs), and Network Attached Storage (NAS) by offloading data communication processing tasks from the server as information is delivered and sent to the network. Our NCP use industry standard protocols including Fibre Channel Protocol (FCP), Internet Protocol (IP), Transmission Control Protocol (TCP)/IP, internet Small Computer System Interface (iSCSI), Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE), overlay networking standards including Network Virtualization using Generic Routing Encapsulation (NVGRE) and Virtual Extensible Local Area Network (VXLAN) and Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) over Converged Ethernet (RoCE). RoCE bring many of the same low-latency capabilities typically associated with InfiniBand (IB) to Ethernet networks. NVGRE and VXLAN support overlay networks, which is a computer network which is built on the top of another network. Our Ethernet-based products include OneConnect� Ethernet Adapters and Converged Network Adapters (CNAs) and Local Area Network (LAN) on Motherboard (LOM) application specific integrated circuits, and custom form factor solutions for OEM blade servers. These Ethernet-based products enable higher virtual machine (VM) densities, secure hybrid clouds with Virtual Network Fabrics, leverage a RoCE-based low latency architecture to deliver application acceleration, and provide an

18

open application performance interface (API) that integrates with next generation software-defined networking (SDN) solutions. Our Fibre Channel-based products include LightPulse� Host Bus Adapters (HBAs), Fibre Channel application specific integrated circuits (ASICs) and custom form factor solutions for OEM blade servers.
SCOP includes Emulex InSpeed�, switch-on-a-chip (SOC) and backend connectivity, bridge and router products, Pilot" Integrated Baseboard Management Controllers (iBMCs), certain legacy products and other products and services. Many of these products are deployed inside storage arrays, tape libraries, and other storage appliances, connecting storage controllers to storage capacity, delivering improved performance, reliability, and connectivity. Such products use industry standard protocols including Fibre Channel, Serial Attached Small Computer Interface (SAS), and Serial Advanced Technology Attachment (SATA), and support the broadest range of Hard Disk Drive (HDD) and Solid State Disk (SSD) technologies. Our iBMC solutions revolutionized the industry for enterprise servers by integrating the BMC, super I/O, graphics controller and Remote Keyboard, Video, Mouse and Storage (KVMS) functionality into a single ASIC, providing significant cost savings to data center managers. Like a standard BMC, when embedded in a server system or appliance, the iBMC simplifies the management of the remote server systems and appliances, whether physical or virtual servers, thereby reducing operational costs.
Visibility Segment Products:
NVP consists entirely of the recently acquired Endace� family of network visibility products that address Networking Recording Market (NRM) for high speed networks. The EndaceProbe" Intelligent Network Recorder (INR) captures, indexes and stores network traffic history in order to help organizations troubleshoot problems and respond to network security breaches. EndaceVision" Network Visibility Software is a browser-based network traffic search engine that provides users with a unique window into high speed networks. Through EndaceVision, users can search and receive packets of interest from anywhere across a globally distributed network of Endace systems through a single, browser-based user interface. The EndaceODE" Open Application Platform is designed specifically to host packet-processing applications in managed data center environments. These flexible and scalable systems are used extensively by organizations that demand the very highest levels of packet capture accuracy and processing performance of their hosting platforms. EndaceAccess" Network Visibility Head-End systems give organizations access to 40GbE and 100GbE network segments that they need to measure, monitor and protect their networks with industry standard 10Gb per second capable monitoring and security tools. EndaceFlow" NetFlow Generator Appliances are designed to specifically offload the work from network elements and deliver 100% accurate NetFlow in the right format to the tools that need to consume it. Underpinning all of the Endace family of network visibility and recording products are the EndaceDAG" Data Capture Cards that are integrated into the EndaceProbe INR appliances and sold as stand-alone components for use in a wide range of monitoring and security systems.

Product Redesign Activities and Potential Royalty Obligations
During fiscal 2010, Broadcom Corporation (Broadcom) filed a patent infringement lawsuit containing 300 claims against us alleging infringement of eleven patents. On April 3, 2012, United States District Court in the Central District of California (District Court) issued a permanent injunction (2012 Permanent Injunction) against further sale of products found to infringe U.S. Patent 7,058,150 (the 150 patent) and 7,471,691 (the 691 patent), but permitting sales of products manufactured outside the U.S. to customers located outside the U.S., design around efforts including modifications and design, development, and testing to eliminate infringement, and service and technical support for certain products. This injunction remains in place but the effects have been mitigated in a number of ways. First, with product redesigns. Second, with license agreements from Broadcom to our customers whose products were affected by the injunction. Third, Broadcom and Emulex entered into a settlement agreement on July 3, 2012 which provided us with a worldwide limited license to the 691 patent, the 150 patent, and U.S. Patents 6,424,194; 7,486,124 and 7,724,057 [collectively, the 194 Patent family], for certain fields of use including Fibre Channel applications.
Through September�28, 2014, we incurred approximately $21.9 million in mitigation, product redesign and appeal related expenses of which approximately $0.2 million and $2.5 million were recorded during the three months ended September�28, 2014 and September 29, 2013, respectively. We expect to incur incremental mitigation and appeal related expenses up to approximately $0.3 million, to be recorded within operating expenses, and expect the majority of such expenses to be incurred in fiscal 2015. In addition, we have agreed to participate in certain customer royalty obligations arising under their licensing agreements with Broadcom related to certain Emulex infringing products. Through September�28, 2014, Emulex has recorded approximately $5.2 million in cost of sales related to such customer obligations, of which approximately $0.8 million and $0.5 million were recorded in cost of sales for the three months ended September�28, 2014 and September 29, 2013, respectively. We may incur additional amounts related to these obligations of approximately $5 million in future periods, all of which will reduce gross margins in the periods accrued.

19

Effective March 30, 2014, Emulex and Broadcom entered into a Dismissal and Standstill Agreement (the "Dismissal Agreement") pursuant to which Emulex and Broadcom entered into certain understandings with respect to the outstanding claims relating to arising out of the patent infringement suit. Pursuant to the terms of the Dismissal Agreement, we agreed to pay Broadcom a non-refundable, non-cancelable dismissal and standstill fee in the amount of $5 million, of which approximately $3.8 million was included in Accrued and Other Current Liabilities as of September 28, 2014.
While we have contractual commitments from our suppliers concerning the defense and indemnification of certain Broadcom claims relating to certain technology provided by such suppliers, and is pursuing certain claims for reimbursement against certain of our suppliers, it cannot be certain that such defense and indemnification obligations will be honored by such suppliers or that any related legal proceedings will result in any material reimbursement to us. This lawsuit continues to present risks with respect to U.S. sales of certain Ethernet products that could have a material adverse affect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations, including loss of patent rights, monetary damages, potential reimbursement of customer indemnification liabilities or royalty obligations, and injunction against the sale of accused products.

Connectivity segment revenues decreased by approximately 6% for the three months ended September�28, 2014 compared to the three months ended September�29, 2013, primarily due to continuing weakness in the UNIX server and high-end storage markets.
Fibre Channel based products account for the majority, ranging from 70% - 80%, of our NCP revenues. For the three months ended September�28, 2014, Fibre Channel based product revenue decreased by approximately 4% reflecting a decrease in units shipped of approximately 5% and an increase in average selling price of approximately 1%. The Ethernet based product revenues were consistent with the three months ended September�29, 2013.
SCOP revenues for the three months ended September�28, 2014 decreased by approximately $4.6 million, or 17%, compared to the three months ended September�29, 2013. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in revenue from bridging products of approximately 27%.
The Visibility segment consists of NVP and resulted from our acquisition of Endace on February�26, 2013. NVP revenues decreased by approximately $4.2 million, or 42% due to lower sales in the United States and Europe, Middle East and Africa.
Net Revenues by Major Customers
In addition to direct sales, some of our larger OEM customers purchase or market products indirectly through distributors, resellers or other third parties. If these indirect sales are purchases of customer-specific models, we are able to track these sales. However, if these indirect sales are purchases of our standard models, we are not able to distinguish them by OEM customer. Customers whose direct net revenues, or total direct and indirect net revenues (including customer-specific models purchased or marketed indirectly through distributors, resellers and other third parties), exceeded 10% of our net revenues were as follows:

The decrease in OEM net revenues for the three months ended September�28, 2014 compared to the three months ended September�29, 2013 reflected a decrease of approximately 10% in NCP revenues and a decrease of approximately 17% in SCOP revenues. The increase in distribution revenues for the three months ended September�28, 2014 compared to the three months ended September�29, 2013 was primarily due to an increase of approximately 69% in NCP revenues generated through distributors. The decrease in end user and other revenues for the three months ended September�28, 2014 compared to the three months ended September�29, 2013 was primarily due to a decrease of approximately 41% in NVP revenues. We believe that the majority of our net revenues are driven by product certifications and qualifications with our OEM customers, which take products directly and indirectly through distribution and contract manufacturers. Although we view product certifications and qualifications as an important indicator of future revenue opportunities and growth for the Company, they do not necessarily ensure continued market acceptance of our products by our OEM customers. It is also very difficult to determine the future impact, if any, of product certifications and qualifications on our revenues.

The decrease in net revenues in United States was due to a decrease of approximately 21% in NCP revenue and 38% in NVP revenues. The decrease in net revenues in Europe, Middle East, and Africa was due to a decrease of approximately 68% in NVP revenue and 35% in SCOP revenues. Asia Pacific net revenues for the three months ended September�28, 2014 slightly decreased compared to the three months ended September�29, 2013; however, Asia Pacific net revenues as a percentage of total revenues increased from the prior year quarter. We expect Asia Pacific net revenues as a percentage of total revenues to increase as our OEM customers continue to migrate towards using contract manufacturers that are predominately located in

22

Asia Pacific. However, since we sell to OEMs and distributors who ultimately resell our products to their customers, the geographic mix of our net revenues may not be reflective of the geographic mix of end-user demand or installations.

Cost of sales includes the costs of producing, supporting, and managing our supply of finished products. Approximately $0.1 million of share-based compensation expense was included in both the three months ended September�28, 2014 and September�29, 2013. Approximately $6.4 million and $6.2 million of amortization of technology intangible assets was included in cost of sales for the three months ended September�28, 2014 and September�29, 2013, respectively. Our gross margin percentage decreased to 57% for the three months ended September�28, 2014 from 59% for the three months ended September�29, 2013 due to product mix and an increase in royalty expense of approximately $0.3 million related to the amended 2012 Permanent Injunction. We expect our gross margin percentage to trend downward as the portion of our revenues generated from lower margin products increases in the future, and to the extent we commit to make additional reimbursements to customers for payments made under any licensing agreement with Broadcom.
Engineering and Development. Engineering and development expenses consist primarily of salaries and related expenses for personnel engaged in the design, development and support of our products. These expenses also include third-party fees paid to consultants, prototype development expenses, and computer service costs related to supporting computer tools used in the design process.

Amortization of other intangible assets for the three months ended September�28, 2014 decreased approximately $1.0 million compared to the three months ended September�29, 2013 due to a lower unamortized intangible assets balance at the beginning of the current three month period as a result of certain intangible assets being fully amortized in fiscal 2014.
Non-operating (Expense) Income, net. Non-operating (expense) income, net, consists primarily of interest income, interest expense, and other non-operating income and expense items. Our non-operating (expense) income, net, was as follows (in thousands):

Our non-operating expense, net increased by approximately $2.9 million for the three months ended September�28, 2014 compared to the three months ended September�29, 2013. The net increase was primarily due to interest expense and amortization of issuance costs and debt discount of approximately $2.4 million in the three months ended September�28, 2014 related to the Convertible Senior Notes issued in November 2013 (see Note 8 "Convertible Senior Notes" to the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements).

Income tax benefit for the three months ended September�28, 2014 was approximately $0.9 million, for an effective rate of 56% compared to income tax expense of approximately $0.5 million, for an effective tax rate of 18%. We generate the majority of our taxable earnings in countries other than the U.S., so our tax expense and effective tax rates reflect the mix of our earnings and losses in the U.S. and various international jurisdictions, including India, Ireland, Isle of Man and New Zealand, as well as our valuation allowance recorded against our U.S. deferred tax assets. The change in our effective tax rate between years was primarily driven by a tax benefit of approximately $1.7 million related to taxable unrealized currency exchange loss resulting from outstanding inter-company loans. We may recognize taxable income/loss on the unrealized foreign exchange gains/losses on our intercompany loans for tax reporting purposes in the future. We have made no provision for U.S.�income taxes or foreign withholding taxes on the earnings of our foreign subsidiaries as these amounts are intended to be

24

indefinitely reinvested in operations outside the U.S. We also do not forecast discrete events, such as a settlement of tax audits with governmental authorities or changes in tax laws, due to their inherent uncertainty.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires estimation and judgment that affect the reported amounts of net revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities. We regularly evaluate our estimates and assumptions related to our critical accounting policies including inventory reserves, goodwill and purchased intangible asset valuations, uncertain tax positions, litigation and other loss contingencies. We base our estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors 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 and the recording of revenue, costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. Changes in judgments and uncertainties relating to these estimates could potentially result in materially different results under different assumptions and conditions. If these estimates differ significantly from actual results, our consolidated financial statements and future results of operations may be materially impacted. Specific to our goodwill and intangible asset valuations policy, the annual impairment test is performed during the fourth fiscal quarter. Given the recent volatility of our market capitalization, the inherent uncertainty in forecast and identification of triggering events, and the fact that the fair value of our reporting units did not exceed their carrying value by a substantial margin during the annual impairment test during the fourth fiscal quarter, it is possible that our goodwill could become impaired in the near term which could result in a material charge. For a description of our critical accounting policies, please refer to Critical Accounting Policies in Part II, Item�7, Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of our fiscal 2014 Form 10-K. There have been no material changes in any of our critical accounting policies during the three months ended September�28, 2014.
Recently Adopted and Recently Issued Accounting Standards
See Note 1 in the accompanying notes to condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q for a description of the recently issued accounting standards.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our principal sources of liquidity consist of our existing cash and cash equivalents balances, as well as funds expected to be generated from operations. At September�28, 2014, we had approximately $224.5 million in working capital and approximately $174.1 million in cash and cash equivalents as compared to approximately $213.6 million in working capital and approximately $158.4 million in cash and cash equivalents at June�29, 2014.
Our cash and cash equivalents balances are held in numerous locations throughout the world. As of September�28, 2014, our international subsidiaries held approximately 20% of our total cash and cash equivalents, which will be used to repay obligations to U.S. affiliate entities that arise in the normal course of business and would not result in incremental U.S. tax liabilities when paid.

Operating Activities
Cash provided by operating activities was approximately $20.8 million during the three months ended September�28, 2014 compared to approximately $5.0 million during the three months ended September�29, 2013. The current period cash provided by operating activities resulted from net loss of approximately $0.7 million, non-cash adjustments for amortization of

25

intangible assets of approximately $7.0 million, depreciation and amortization of approximately $4.6 million and share-based compensation expense of approximately $3.5 million, and the timing of net working capital requirements.
Investing Activities
Cash used in investing activities was approximately $4.1 million during the three months ended September�28, 2014 compared to approximately $4.5 million during the three months ended September�29, 2013. The current period usage of cash was related to purchases of property and equipment. We currently expect a similar level of investment in property and equipment in the future to support our strategic objectives, although the timing may be impacted by certain project timelines and other factors.
Financing Activities
Cash used in financing activities was approximately $0.7 million during the three months ended September�28, 2014 compared to approximately $1.2 million during the three months ended September�29, 2013. The usage of cash for the three months ended September�28, 2014 and September�29, 2013 was primarily due to payroll tax withholdings on behalf of employees for restricted stock of approximately $0.8 million and $1.5 million, respectively.
Capital Resources and Prospective Needs
In November 2013, we issued $175.0 million aggregate principal amount of 1.75% Convertible Senior Notes due November 2018 (Convertible Senior Notes). Interest is payable semi-annually in arrears on May 15 and November 15 of each year, commencing on May 15, 2014. The initial conversion rate is approximately 97.13 per share of our common stock per $1,000 principal amounts of the Convertible Senior Notes. The initial conversion price is approximately $10.30 per share of our common stock. See Note 8 in Part I, Item 1 on this Form 10-Q. We used a portion of the net proceeds from the offering to repurchase approximately $150.0 million of our common stock at a price per share equal to $6.68 during fiscal 2014. We intend to use the remaining net proceeds from the offering for additional share repurchases. In November 2013, our Board of Directors approved a $200.0 million share repurchase program. At September�28, 2014, we have the authority to repurchase an additional approximately $50.0 million pursuant to this authorization.
In November 2013, we announced a cost savings program designed to streamline business operations and achieve operating expense reductions. We plan to continue our cost savings program, which includes simplifying our product portfolio, discontinuing additional programs with lower returns on investment, pursuing consolidation opportunities and identifying further efficiencies which will accordingly impact our strategic investment in research and development, sales and marketing, capital equipment, and facilities. We may also consider internal and external investment opportunities in order to achieve our growth and market leadership goals, including licensing and product development alignment agreements with our suppliers, customers, and other third parties. We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents, and anticipated cash flows from operating activities will be sufficient to support our working capital needs, capital expenditure requirements and stock repurchases for at least the next 12�months and the foreseeable future based on currently forecasted trends. We may need to pursue additional financing if our business does not generate sufficient cash flow from operations to enable us to pay the principal amount of our Convertible Senior Notes or to fund other liquidity needs.
We have disclosed outstanding legal proceedings in Note�7 in the accompanying notes to condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part�I, Item�1 of this Form�10-Q, including the consolidated patent infringement lawsuit filed by Broadcom against us. On July�3, 2012, we entered into a Settlement Agreement pursuant to which both parties agreed to settle and release certain claims related to the patent infringement litigation. The Settlement Agreement provided for certain amendments to the April�3, 2012 Permanent Injunction, and dismissals of certain allegations of the lawsuit, including portions of the scheduled re-trial. We also received a worldwide limited license to the 691 patent, the 150 patent, the 194 patent and related families for certain fields of use including Fibre Channel applications. Effective March 30, 2014, Emulex and Broadcom entered into a Dismissal Agreement pursuant to which Emulex and Broadcom entered into certain understandings with respect to the outstanding claims relating to and arising out of the patent infringement suit. Pursuant to the terms of the Dismissal Agreement, we agreed to pay Broadcom a non-refundable, non-cancelable dismissal and standstill fee in the amount of $5 million, of which approximately $3.8 million was included in Accrued and Other Current Liabilities as of September 28, 2014.
We expect to incur incremental mitigation and appeal related expenses up to $0.3 million to be recorded within operating expenses, and we expect the majority of such expenses to be incurred in fiscal 2015. In addition, we continue to evaluate certain customer royalty obligations arising under their licensing agreements with Broadcom that could result in additional costs of approximately $5 million in future periods.�Such costs will reduce gross margins in the periods accrued. See Product Redesign Activities and Potential Royalty Obligations in Part I, Item�2 of this Form 10-Q.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

26

As part of our ongoing business, we do not participate in transactions that generate material relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or for other contractually narrow or limited purposes. As of September�28, 2014, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined in Item�303(a)(4)(ii) of SEC Regulation�S-K.
Item�3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Interest Rate Risk
We do not believe our cash equivalents are subject to significant interest rate risk due to their short terms to maturity. As of September�28, 2014, the carrying value of our cash equivalents approximated fair value. The Convertible Senior Notes issued in November 2013 have a fixed interest rate of 1.75%.
Exchange Rate Risk
Currently, the majority of our sales to customers and arrangements with third-party manufacturers provide for pricing and payment in U.S. dollars (USD), and, therefore, are not subject to exchange rate fluctuations. However, increases in the value of the USD relative to other currencies could make our products more expensive, which could negatively impact our ability to compete. Conversely, decreases in the value of the USD relative to other currencies could result in our suppliers raising their prices to continue doing business with us.
In addition, we are also exposed to foreign exchange rate risk specific to our intercompany loans denominated in a currency other than the local tax reporting currency, which results in tax expense or benefit on the unrealized exchange gain or loss in the local jurisdiction. The potential effect on net loss as of September 28, 2014 resulting from a hypothetical 10% adverse change in currency exchange rates is approximately $1.5 million lower tax benefit. As a result, fluctuations in currency exchange rates have affected, and could continue to affect our business and results of operations.
Item�4. Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as required by Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(b) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report as a result of an unremediated material weakness related to the annual goodwill impairment test, as described in further detail below.
As described in Item 9A in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 29, 2014, we identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting related to the annual goodwill impairment test.�Specifically, our controls were not designed effectively, as managements review controls over the third-party valuation analyses were not designed at a precise enough level to sufficiently address the reasonableness of: (i) certain assumptions estimated by management (ii) certain assumptions and calculations performed by the third-party valuation specialist and (iii) the allocation of net assets assigned to each reporting unit.�
As discussed in the Form 10-K, we are implementing a remediation plan to improve our internal control over financial reporting.�This remediation plan for the annual goodwill impairment test includes: (i) more robust and critical review of internal assumptions and inputs, (ii) specific review procedures with defined precision levels over third-party valuation assumptions and calculations, and (iii) overall assessment of the valuation conclusions.� The material weakness will not be considered remediated until our controls are operational for a period of time, tested, and management concludes that these controls are designed and operating effectively.�
Other than the discussion above, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 28, 2014 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.���

PART II: OTHER INFORMATION
Item�1. Legal Proceedings
The information set forth under Note�7 in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements under the caption Litigation included in Part�I, Item�1 of this Form�10-Q is incorporated herein by reference.
Item�1A. Risk Factors
The following risk factors are either new risk factors or have been modified since our most recent annual report. In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should also consider the factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A. "Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 29, 2014, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risks described below and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 29, 2014 are not the only risks facing our Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.
We may be required to recognize goodwill impairment in future periods.
We test goodwill for impairment annually during the fourth fiscal quarter and at other times if events have occurred or circumstances exist that indicate the carrying value of goodwill may no longer be recoverable. Given the recent volatility of our market capitalization, the inherent uncertainty in forecast and identification of triggering events, and the fact that the fair value of our reporting units did not exceed their carrying value by a substantial margin during the annual impairment test during the fourth fiscal quarter, it is possible that our goodwill could become impaired in the near term. Any such impairment would result in a non-cash charge and could have a material adverse affect our reported GAAP operating results.
A significant portion of our revenue is generated from sales to a limited number of customers, none of which are subject to exclusive or long-term contracts.
We rely almost exclusively on OEMs and sales through distribution channels for our revenue. For the quarter ended September�28, 2014, we derived approximately 83%% of our net revenues from sales to OEM customers and approximately 14% from sales through distribution. Furthermore, as some of our sales through distribution channels consist of OEM products, OEM customers effectively generated approximately 88% of our revenue for the quarter ended September�28, 2014. Moreover, direct and indirect sales to our top five customers (including customer-specific models purchased or marketed indirectly through distributors, resellers and other third parties) accounted for approximately 75% of our net revenues for the quarter ended September�28, 2014. If we are unable to retain our current OEM and distributor customers, recruit additional or replacement customers, or timely collect amounts due from our customers, or if demand from our customers is reduced due to difficulties in their ability to acquire components or other products such as microprocessors, disk drives, switches and optical modules used in conjunction with our products or in the deployments of their products, our business, results of operations, and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.
As is common in the technology industry, our agreements with OEMs and distributors are typically non-exclusive, have no volume commitments, and often may be terminated by either party without cause. It is increasingly commonplace for our OEM and distributor customers to utilize or carry competing product lines. If we were to lose business from one or more significant OEM or distributor customers to a competitor, our business, results of operations, and financial condition could be materially adversely affected. In addition, our OEMs may elect to change their business practices in ways that affect the timing of our revenues, which may materially adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition. This includes transitioning to new inventory geographies or markets.
In January 2014, our largest customer announced the proposed sale of their x86-based server business to an overseas competitor. The sale was completed in October 2014. During the related transition period, we may be exposed to elevated levels of demand fluctuation, forecasting uncertainty and other business risk.
Although we continue to expand our base of customers, we believe our revenues in the future continue to be derived from a limited number of customers. As a result, to the extent that sales to any of our significant customers do not increase in accordance with our expectations or are reduced or delayed, or if we are unable to collect our accounts receivables from our customers, our business, results of operations, and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.
Our stock price is volatile, which has and may result in lawsuits against us and our officers and directors.
The stock market in general and the stock prices of technology companies in particular, have experienced extreme volatility that often has been unrelated to the operating performance of any specific public company. The market price of our common stock has fluctuated in the past and is likely to continue to fluctuate in the future. For example, during the twelve month period ended September 28, 2014, the sales price of our common stock ranged from a low of $4.51 per share to a high of $8.24 per share.

28

A takeover proposal by any third party to acquire the outstanding shares of our common stock may result in further volatility in the price of our common stock. If a takeover does not occur following announcement of a takeover proposal, for any reason, the market price of our common stock may decline.
In the past, companies, including us, that have experienced volatility in the market price of their stock have been subject to securities class action litigation. If we were to be the subject of similar litigation in the future or experience unfavorable outcomes in any of our pending litigations, as discussed in Note 7 in the accompanying notes to our consolidated financial statements under the caption "Litigation" in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q, it could have a material adverse affect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition. Such litigation would also divert managements attention from other business matters.

29

Item�2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
In November 2013, our Board of Directors authorized a plan to repurchase up to $200.0 million of our outstanding common stock. The plan superseded the existing share repurchase program authorized in August 2008. The share repurchases are authorized to be completed through the combination of individually negotiated transactions, accelerated share buybacks, and open market purchases.
As of September�28, 2014, we repurchased approximately 22.5 million shares of the common stock for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $150.0 million at an average purchase price of $6.68 per share. No shares were repurchased during the three months ended September�28, 2014. As of September�28, 2014, approximately $50.0 million of the authorized repurchase program remains.

Sales of Unregistered of Equity Securities
There were no sales of unregistered equity securities for the three months ended September�28, 2014. However, in November 2013, we issued an aggregate principal amount of $175.0 million in 1.75% Convertible Senior Notes due November 2018 (Convertible Senior Notes). The Convertible Senior Notes are convertible into shares of our common stock at an initial conversion rate of approximately 97.13 per share of our common stock per $1,000 principal amounts of the Convertible Notes. The initial conversion price is approximately $10.30 per share of our common stock. See Note 8 in Part I, Item 1 on this Form 10-Q.
