Item 1. BUSINESS

The Company

PART I

Accuray Incorporated is a radiation oncology company that develops, manufactures, sells and supports precise,
innovative treatment solutions which set the standard of radiation therapy care with the aim of helping patients live
longer, better lives. Our innovative technologies, the CyberKnife and TomoTherapy Systems, including the Radixact
System, our next generation TomoTherapy platform, are designed to deliver advanced treatments, including
stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS), stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT), intensity modulated radiation therapy
(IMRT), image guided radiation therapy (IGRT), and adaptive radiation therapy. The CyberKnife Systems, the
TomoTherapy Systems, and the Radixact Systems have complementary clinical applications, enabling customers to
deliver the most precise treatments while minimizing side effects and maximizing patient comfort and care. Each of
these systems serves patient populations treated by the same medical specialty, radiation oncology, with advanced
capabilities.

The CyberKnife Systems are the only fully robotic systems that deliver SRS and SBRT, and are used to treat
multiple types of cancer and tumors throughout the body. The CyberKnife Systems automatically track, detect and
correct for tumor and patient movement in real-time during the procedure, enabling delivery of precise, high dose
radiation with sub-millimeter accuracy while patients breathe normally, without manual user intervention. Treatment
with the CyberKnife Systems requires no anesthesia, and treatment sessions are done on an outpatient basis. In
addition, the CyberKnife Systems are designed to minimize many of the risks and complications associated with
other treatment options. The CyberKnife Systems are the only robotic radiosurgery systems available today which
deliver such high precision treatments for intra- and extra-cranial disease sites throughout the body, including
prostate, lung, brain, spine, liver, pancreas and kidney. The latest generation CyberKnife M6 Series System is
available with the InCise Multileaf Collimator (InCise MLC), the world’s first multileaf collimator (MLC) to be
available on a robotic platform. With the addition of the InCise MLC, clinicians can deliver the same precise
radiosurgery treatments they have come to expect with the CyberKnife Systems, while significantly reducing
treatment times, for a wider range of tumor types, including larger and different kinds of tumors than were
previously treated. Additional options include the fixed collimator, and the Iris Variable Aperture Collimator, giving
clinicians a range of collimation forms to choose from to meet the needs of their patients.

The TomoTherapy Systems, including the Radixact System, the next-generation TomoTherapy platform,

represent the only radiation therapy platform specifically designed for image-guided intensity-modulated radiation
therapy (IG-IMRT). Based on a ring gantry CT scanner platform, the TomoTherapy System provides continuous
delivery of radiation from 360 degrees around the patient, or delivery from clinician-specified direct beam angles.
These unique features, combined with daily 3D image guidance, enable physicians to deliver dose distributions
which precisely conform to the shape of the patient’s tumor while minimizing dose to normal, healthy tissue,
resulting in fewer side effects for patients. The TomoTherapy Systems are capable of treating all standard radiation
therapy indications including breast, prostate, lung, and head and neck cancers, in addition to complex treatments
such as total marrow irradiation, while minimizing side effects; and enable efficient daily imaging to ensure the
accuracy of the patient position before each treatment delivery. The TomoTherapy and Radixact Systems include the
following options: TomoHelical, TomoDirect, and TomoEdge dynamic jaws. The system configuration depends on
the options chosen by the customer. When we refer to “TomoTherapy Systems” in this Annual Report on Form 10-
K, we mean that term to include the Radixact System as well, unless otherwise noted.

We have also introduced the Onrad System, a lower priced, direct delivery system, in China. The Onrad System
is designed to meet the ease of use and throughput demands of a market segment in which we have not previously
competed.

We were incorporated in California in 1990 and commenced operations in 1992. We reincorporated in Delaware

in 2007. Our principal offices are located at 1310 Chesapeake Terrace, Sunnyvale, CA 94089, and our telephone
number is (408) 716-4600.

Market Overview

Despite significant improvements in cancer diagnosis and treatment, cancer rates continue to increase globally
and are a leading cause of death. According to the World Health Organization, cancer is the second leading cause of
death globally and was responsible for an estimated 9.6 million deaths in 2018. Globally, about 1 in 6 deaths is due
to cancer, and the economic impact of cancer is significant and is expected to increase. The total annual economic
cost of cancer in 2010 was estimated at approximately $1.6 trillion.

Cancers can be broadly divided into two groups: solid tumor cancers, which are characterized by the growth of

malignant tumors within the body in areas such as the brain, lung, liver, breast or prostate, and hematological, or
blood-borne cancers, such as leukemia. The most common causes of cancer deaths are cancers of lung, liver,
colorectal, stomach and breast. The American Cancer Society (the “ACS”) estimates that solid tumor cancers will
account for approximately 1.6 million, or approximately 92% of new cancer cases diagnosed annually.

Traditional methods for the treatment of solid tumor cancers include chemotherapy, surgery and radiation

therapy. The most common type of radiation therapy is external beam radiation therapy, in which patients are treated
with high-energy radiation generated by medical equipment external to the patient. The global radiotherapy
equipment and software market has three main segments: Linear Accelerators (Linacs), Treatment Planning
Systems, and Radiation Therapy Simulators. According to the January 2016 Radiation Therapy Equipment Report
by Global Industry Analysts, Inc., Linear Accelerators represent the largest segment of radiotherapy equipment and
are forecast to expand from an estimated $3.4 billion for 2014 to reach $5.2 billion by the year 2020. Treatment
planning systems are poised to grow to $1.9 billion by 2020, up from an estimated $1.1 billion in 2014. Increasing
preference for non-surgical options is a major factor promoting radiotherapy. Approximately 60% of cancer patients
worldwide will undergo some form of radiation therapy during the course of their treatment. While radiation therapy
is widely available in the United States and Western Europe, many developing countries currently do not have a
sufficient number of linacs to adequately treat their domestic cancer patient populations. We believe increasing
demand for advanced medical treatments in many international markets and growth in cancer incidences worldwide
will continue to drive demand for advanced linacs in the coming years.

Emerging markets are especially underequipped with external beam radiation therapy systems. According to a
publication called the Lancet Oncology Commission in 2015, radiation therapy is required in more than half of the
newly diagnosed cancer patients. There was an estimated shortage of over 15,000 linacs globally in 2015, expected
to grow to over 21,000 by 2035. This gap is most pronounced in low and middle income countries, where only 10%
of patients have access to radiotherapy. China alone is estimated to have a shortfall of over 5,000 systems because of
increasing cancer incidence and an aging population that is estimated to more than double by 2040.

Radiation Therapy

Radiation therapy is used to treat a wide range of cancer and tumor types by using high-energy radiation to
destroy cancer cells and shrink or control the growth of tumors. Radiation therapy works by exposing clusters of
cancer cells, or tumors, to a dose of high energy radiation sufficient to cause cell death and prevent cells from
multiplying. During external beam radiation therapy, the clinician’s goal is to target radiation delivery to the tumor
as precisely as possible in order to maximize the radiation dose delivered to cancerous tissue and minimize the
exposure of healthy tissue. Recent advances in radiation therapy technologies have allowed clinicians to further
improve the ability to target the radiation dose more precisely at cancer cells while minimizing the exposure of
healthy tissue. These advances include the following:

Intensity modulated radiation therapy involves varying, or modulating,
Intensity modulated radiation therapy.
the radiation beam intensity across the treatment area. This technique aims to conform the high dose region of the
radiation beam more closely with the shape of the tumor, enabling the delivery of higher doses of radiation to
tumors with a reduced impact on surrounding healthy tissue.

Image guided radiation therapy.
taken shortly before and/or during treatment using CT scan, x-ray, ultrasound or other imaging technologies. By
combining imaging with radiation treatment, clinicians can adjust the patient’s position relative to the radiation
source prior to each treatment to target the tumor more precisely.

IGRT involves delivering radiation guided by images of the treatment area

5

Radiosurgery and Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy. Radiosurgery is a form of radiation therapy that uses
precisely targeted radiation to destroy tumors. Radiosurgery is non-invasive; there is no cutting involved. It is
commonly used by neurosurgeons to treat conditions within the brain and spine. SBRT is a treatment that uses
precisely targeted radiation, like radiosurgery, to destroy tumors located outside the brain and spine.
Radiosurgery and SBRT typically involve the delivery of a single high dose radiation treatment or a few
fractionated radiation treatments (usually up to five) to ablate (destroy) all tissue within the tumor. To achieve the
accuracy and precision required for both radiosurgery and SBRT, image guidance during treatment, the ability to
adjust the aim of the beam in real-time to compensate for tumor motion and a wide range of beam angles, are
critical for treatment.

Adaptive radiation therapy. Adaptive radiation therapy involves adjusting a patient’s radiation therapy plan
during or between fractions to account for changes in the patient’s anatomy, the amount and location of the
radiation received by the patient, and the size, shape and location of the tumor. While there is no widely accepted
definition of adaptive radiation therapy, it has been characterized to include as little as an adjustment to the
physical position of the patient relative to the radiation source prior to treatment, as occurs during IGRT, rather
than an adjustment to the treatment plan. Our approach is based on the belief that adaptive radiation therapy
requires monitoring and adjustments to the treatment plan facilitated by both the regular acquisition of updated
quantitative images showing the location, size, shape and density of the tumor, and verification of the radiation
dose received by the patient throughout the entire course of treatment.

Hypofractionation. Hypofractionation involves the delivery of higher doses of radiation in fewer fractions than
are used in conventional radiation therapy. Higher doses of radiation have been shown to provide greater local
control of the tumor. The advent of innovative technological features in radiation therapy treatment planning and
delivery has enabled clinicians to maximize the radiation dose administered to tumors in the patient, improving
local tumor control and, in some cases, improving patient survival rates. Additional benefits of hypofractionation
include minimal side effects, fewer treatments and greater scheduling convenience for the patient.
Hypofractionation is often used to treat small targets throughout the body, especially when located near critical
structures, including the brain, head and neck, spine, lung and prostate. It is also being used more frequently in
clinical applications where the radiobiology is appropriate for fewer fractions of higher doses, including the
prostate and breast.

Despite advances in radiation therapy techniques, most commercially available radiation therapy systems
from other manufacturers still present significant limitations that restrict clinicians’ ability to provide the most
precise treatment possible. These limitations include:

•

•

Limited versatility and precision. The C-arm configuration of traditional radiation therapy systems
has a limited range and speed of motion because of its size and mechanical structure. C-arm linac
architecture is limited to delivering radiation in a single plane (coplanar) thus limiting its radiation
delivery capability for complex and advanced cases. Additionally, most previously existing MLCs,
which modulate or shape the radiation beams, have mechanical limitations that reduce their
beam-shaping ability and the speed at which they operate. These design elements limit the motion and
dynamic range of IMRT intensities capable of being delivered by traditional radiation therapy systems
and often make it challenging to achieve the precision needed to maximize dose to the tumor while
avoiding damage to healthy tissue and minimizing side effects. These limited treatment angles reduce
the ability to deliver precisely targeted radiation that minimizes exposure to healthy tissue. Such
imprecision may prevent clinicians from treating tumors near sensitive anatomic structures, such as the
eye or the spinal cord, or from re-treating patients in an area of the body that was previously exposed to
radiation and may be unable to tolerate additional exposure.

Limited ability to provide frequent, quantitative images. Precise radiation therapy requires frequent
images that accurately depict the size, shape and location of the tumor. Many traditional radiation
therapy systems use imaging technologies that are not generally used on a daily basis to generate a
quantitative assessment of the patient’s and/or target volume’s position due to concerns about the
additional radiation exposure. In addition, traditional radiation therapy systems measure the amount of
radiation emitted by the device based on the system’s performance specifications. This calculation does
not provide the clinician with data regarding the amount of radiation that was received by the patient or
what tissue within the patient’s body received any particular amount of radiation. Since it is common for
internal organs to shift and for the size of the tumor to change during the course of treatment, failure to
obtain updated images and adapt the patient and/or plan throughout the course of treatment may result in
a portion, or potentially all, of the radiation dose missing the tumor and instead being absorbed by
healthy tissue.

6

•

Failure to integrate multiple functions. The basic architecture for traditional radiation therapy
systems pre-dates many recent advances that enable integrated imaging, treatment planning, dose
verification or quality assurance capabilities necessary for more advanced treatment protocols. Some
conventional systems have been subsequently adapted to include certain elements of this functionality
by incorporating modular add-on devices to legacy linac designs. These separate modular components
can provide imaging, treatment planning, quality assurance procedures or post-treatment analysis
functionality. However, this add-on architectural approach can have safety, accuracy, and workflow
implications because of the manual methods used for checking proper system operation.

Development of Radiosurgery

Advanced radiation therapy systems designed to deliver radiosurgery or stereotactic body radiation therapy differ

from traditional radiation therapy systems in that they are designed to deliver a very high cumulative dose of
radiation, in a single or a small number of treatments precisely targeted at the tumor rather than at a region that
consists of the tumor plus healthy tissue that surrounds the tumor area. The more accurate delivery of radiation
allows higher doses to be delivered, increasing the probability of tumor cell death and better local control. In
addition, radiosurgery can be administered to patients who have inoperable or surgically complex tumors, or who
may prefer a clinically effective, non-surgical treatment option.

Our Strategy

Our goal is to develop equipment and technology that enable physicians to deliver precise, customized,
leading-edge treatments that help cancer patients live longer, better lives. We endeavor to achieve this goal by
expanding the clinical options for healthcare providers, helping them offer the best radiation treatment for each
patient and by providing patients with treatment tailored to their specific needs. Our vision is a future where the fear,
pain and suffering of cancer are a thing of the past. We believe our current technologies and our future innovations
can help to achieve this. Some of the key elements of our strategy include the following:

Increase physician adoption and patient awareness to drive utilization. We are continually working to
increase adoption and awareness of our systems and demonstrate their advantages over more traditional treatment
methods. We hold and sponsor symposia and educational meetings and support clinical studies to demonstrate the
clinical benefits of our systems. We regularly meet with clinicians to educate them on the expanded versatility that
our systems offer in comparison to more traditional radiation therapy products or surgery. We are continuously
expanding our digital and social presence to reach and educate a broader audience of physicians and patients. To
support awareness of all our product offerings, we assist our customers with increasing patient awareness in their
communities by providing them tools to develop marketing and educational campaigns.

Continue to expand the radiosurgery market. While radiosurgery has traditionally been used to treat brain
tumors, the CyberKnife Systems received U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), clearance in 2001 to treat
tumors anywhere in the body. Our system data demonstrates that over 55% of CyberKnife utilization is for cancers
and tumors in the body in places other than the brain. There are now hundreds of peer-reviewed publications
supporting use of CyberKnife in treatment of various cancer and tumor types.

Continue to innovate through clinical development and collaboration. The clinical success of our products is

largely the result of the collaborative partnerships we have developed over the last decade with clinicians,
researchers and patients. We proactively seek out and rely on constructive feedback from system users to learn what
is needed to enhance the technology. As a result of this collaborative process, we continually refine and upgrade our
systems, thereby improving our competitive position in the radiation therapy and radiosurgery markets. Upgrades to
our systems are designed to address customer needs in the areas of improving the ease of use and accuracy of
treatment, decreasing treatment times, and improving utilization for specific types of tumors.

7

Expand sales in international markets. We intend to continue to increase our sales and distribution capabilities

outside of the United States to take advantage of the large international opportunity for our products. Outside of the
United States, we currently have regional offices in Morges, Switzerland, Hong Kong, China, Shanghai, China and
Tokyo, Japan and direct sales staff in most countries in Western Europe, Japan, India and Canada. Combined with
distributors in Eastern Europe, Russia, the Middle East, the Asia Pacific region and Latin America, our sales and
distribution channels cover more than 92 countries. However, many of these countries are not highly developed at
this time and therefore sales opportunities may be limited. We intend to increase our international revenue by
focused additions of direct sales personnel in targeted areas to further penetrate our most promising international
markets, and additional distributors where opportune.

Strategic partnerships and joint ventures. We intend to pursue strategic partnerships and joint ventures we

believe will allow us to complement our growth strategy, increase sales in our current markets and expand into
adjacent markets, broaden our technology and intellectual property and strengthen our relationships with our
customers. In fiscal 2016 we signed an agreement with RaySearch Laboratories AB, which will continue to lead to
the integration of treatment planning support for the TomoTherapy and CyberKnife Systems in the RayStation
treatment planning system (TPS). In fiscal 2017, we signed an agreement with Photo Diagnostic Systems,
Incorporated to enhance image quality of our TomoTherapy System through an enhanced tomographic
reconstruction software. In fiscal 2019, our wholly-owned subsidiary, Accuray Asia Limited (“Accuray Asia”),
entered into an agreement with CNNC high Energy Equipment (Tianjin) Co., Ltd. (the “CIRC Subsidiary), a
wholly-owned subsidiary of China Isotope & Radiation Coproration, to form a joint venture, CNNC Accuray
(TianJin) Medical Technology Co. Ltd. (the “JV”), to manufacture and sell radiation oncology systems in China.

Our Products

Our suite of products includes the CyberKnife Systems and the TomoTherapy Systems, including the Radixact

System, the next generation TomoTherapy platform. We also offer our Onrad Treatment Delivery System, a
configuration of the TomoTherapy System designed specifically to meet the needs of the market in China. In
addition, our portfolio includes comprehensive software solutions to enable and enhance the precise and efficient
radiotherapy treatment with our advanced delivery systems.

The CyberKnife Systems

Our principal radiosurgery products are the CyberKnife Systems, a robotic full-body radiosurgery system
designed to treat tumors anywhere in the body non-invasively, which include the CyberKnife M6 Series with
configuration options of fixed collimators plus the Iris Variable Aperture Collimator (FI), fixed collimators plus the
InCise MLC (FM) and fixed collimators plus the Iris Variable Aperture Collimator plus the InCise MLC (FIM).

Using continual image guidance technology and computer controlled robotic mobility, the CyberKnife Systems

are designed to deliver precise radiation from a wide array of beam angles and automatically track, detect and
correct for tumor and patient movement in real-time throughout the treatment. This design is intended to enable the
CyberKnife Systems to deliver high-dose radiation with precision, which minimizes damage to surrounding healthy
tissue and eliminates the need for invasive head or body stabilization frames. Our patented image-guidance
technology correlates low dose, real-time treatment X-rays with images previously taken with a CT scan of the
tumor and surrounding tissue to direct each beam of radiation with increased precision versus treatments without
this real-time feedback. This, in turn, enables delivery of a highly conformal, non-isocentric dose of radiation to the
tumor, with minimal radiation delivered to surrounding healthy tissue. With its autonomous ability to track, detect
and correct for even the slightest tumor and patient movement throughout the entire treatment, the CyberKnife
System is intended to provide clinicians with an effective and accurate treatment.

Our configurations of CyberKnife Systems include the following:

The CyberKnife M6 Series with configurations of FI, FM and FIM. The M6 Series has been

approved/cleared by the FDA, and is able to be sold in most major markets globally. It is used with either of the
following options: an Iris collimator (I) or a multileaf collimator (M). With the InCise MLC, larger tumors
previously thought untreatable with radiosurgery and SBRT are able to be treated efficiently and with unrivaled
accuracy and tissue sparing. The InCise MLC and IMRT planning tools enable expansion of indications that can be
treated with a CyberKnife to include many IMRT indications. The CyberKnife M6 Series includes disease-specific
tracking and treatment delivery solutions for brain, spine, lung and prostate tumors, treatment speed improvements,
more options to configure the treatment room, expanded number of nodes leading to more coverage and sparing of
healthy tissue.

We believe the CyberKnife Systems offer clinicians and patients the following benefits:

The only truly robotic system in the market. Combining the benefits of continual image guidance and
non-isocentric, non-coplanar treatment delivery, the CyberKnife Systems precisely contour radiation delivery to
spare healthy tissue while maintaining sub-millimeter accuracy, even for targets that move during treatment. The
CyberKnife Systems are the clinical solution to choose when accuracy, flexibility, speed, efficiency and patient
comfort are essential.

Treatment of inoperable or surgically complex tumors. The CyberKnife Systems may be used to target tumors

that cannot be easily treated with traditional surgical techniques because of their location, number, size, shape or
proximity to vital tissues or organs, or because of the age or health of the patient. The CyberKnife Systems’
intelligent robotics enable the precise targeting of a tumor, while at the same time minimizing damage to
surrounding healthy tissue.

Treatment of tumors throughout the body. The CyberKnife Systems have been cleared by the FDA to provide

treatment planning and image-guided radiosurgery treatment for tumors anywhere in the body where radiation
treatment is indicated. By comparison, traditional frame-based radiosurgery systems are generally limited to treating
brain tumors and use cobalt 60 radioactive material, which decays over time and is difficult to replace. The
CyberKnife Systems are being used for the treatment of primary and metastatic tumors outside the brain, including
tumors on or near the spine and in the lung, liver, prostate, kidney and pancreas in addition to tumors in the brain,
with the same sub-millimeter accuracy in every disease site.

Real-time tracking of tumor movement. The CyberKnife Systems are designed to enable the treatment of
tumors that change position because of respiration, or tumor or patient movement during treatment. The CyberKnife
Systems offer the following features which enhance image guided robotic radiation surgery: Synchrony Respiratory
Tracking System, Xsight Lung Tracking System, Xsight Spine Tracking System, InTempo Adaptive Imaging
System and Lung Optimized Treatment.

Significant patient benefits. The CyberKnife Systems maximize patient comfort. Patients may be treated with
the CyberKnife Systems on an outpatient basis without anesthesia and without the risks and complications inherent
in traditional surgery. Patients do not require substantial pre-treatment preparation, and typically there is little to no
recovery time or hospital stay associated with CyberKnife Systems’ treatments. In addition, the CyberKnife Systems
eliminate the need for an invasive rigid frame to be screwed into the patient’s skull or affixed to other parts of the
body, or for artificial breath holding or gating instruments.

Additional revenue generation through increased patient volumes. We believe clinical use of the CyberKnife
Systems allows our customers to effectively treat patients where extreme precision and ability to account for motion
are important, and patients who otherwise would not have been treated with radiation or who may not have been
good candidates for surgery.

Upgradeable modular design. The CyberKnife Systems have a modular design, which facilitates the

implementation of upgrades that often do not require our customers to purchase an entirely new system to gain the
benefits of new features. We continue to work to develop and offer new clinical capabilities enhancing ease of use,
reducing treatment times, improving accuracy and improving patient access. The main components and options of
the CyberKnife Systems include: the compact X-band linear accelerator; robotic manipulator, the real-time
image-guidance system with continuous target tracking and correction; X-ray sources; image detectors. Key features
of these components include:

Robotic manipulator arm. The robotic manipulator arm, with six-degrees-of-freedom range of movement, is
designed to move around the patient to position the linac and direct the radiation with an extremely high level of
precision and repeatability. The manipulator arm provides what we believe to be a unique method of positioning
the linac to deliver doses of radiation from nearly any direction and position, without the limitations inherent in
gantry-based systems, creating a non-isocentric composite dose pattern with a high level of conformance to the
shape of each treated tumor. This flexibility enhances the ability to diversify beam trajectories and beam entrance
and exit points, helping to minimize risks of radiation damage to healthy cells near the tumor. Furthermore, the
rapid response time of the manipulator arm allows tracking of tumors that move with respiration.

9

Real-time image-guidance system with continuous target tracking and correction. Without the need for
clinician intervention or treatment interruption, the CyberKnife Systems’ real-time image-guided robotics are
designed to enable continuous monitoring and correction for patient and tumor movements throughout each
treatment as it is being delivered.

X-ray sources. The low-energy X-ray sources generate the X-ray images that help determine the location of
bony or other anatomic landmarks, or implanted fiducials, which are used for tracking throughout the entire
treatment.

Image detectors. The image detectors capture high-resolution anatomical images throughout the treatment.
These live images are continually compared to the patient’s CT scan to determine real-time patient positioning.
Based on this information, the robotic manipulator automatically corrects for detected movements.

In addition to the main components listed above, we also offer the following components and options: Synchrony

Respiratory Tracking System; Xsight Spine Tracking System; Xsight Lung Tracking System; Lung Optimized
Treatment; RoboCouch Patient Positioning System; Xchange Robotic Collimator Changer; InTempo Adaptive
Imaging System; Iris Variable Aperture Collimator; and the InCise MLC. Key features of some of these components
are as follows:

Synchrony Respiratory Tracking System. The CyberKnife Systems’ proprietary motion tracking system, the
Synchrony Respiratory Tracking System, is the first and only technology to continuously synchronize beam delivery
to the motion of the tumor in real time, enabling the delivery of highly conformal radiation beams while reducing
healthy tissue exposure. It is used to continuously track tumors that move with respiration as beams are
synchronized in real-time to tumor position while adapting to changes in breathing patterns. The Synchrony system
provides what we believe is unsurpassed clinical accuracy of approximately 1.5 millimeters for tumors that move
with respiration without the need for implanted fiducials. It makes it possible and practical for clinicians to deliver
radiation dose with sub-millimeter precision, even for tumors that move with respiration.

Xsight Tracking System. The Xsight Spine and Lung Tacking Systems allow for tracking of tumors without the

need for implanted markers in the spine and the lung.

Lung Optimized Treatment. An integrated suite of tools that provides a complete fiducial-free clinical solution

for lung cancer patients and optimizes non-invasive lung SBRT treatments.

InTempo Adaptive Imaging System. The InTempo System is designed to optimize imaging frequency during

prostate treatments and uses time-based image guidance to assist with tracking and correcting non-predictable
intrafraction target motion.

Iris Variable Aperture Collimator. The Iris Variable Aperture Collimator enables delivery of beams in 12

unique sizes with a single collimator, which significantly reduces treatment times and the total radiation dose
delivered to the patient.

InCise Multileaf Collimator. The InCise MLC is designed specifically for the CyberKnife M6 Series. It

delivers the same precise SRS and SBRT treatments clinicians expect from the CyberKnife Systems, while
significantly reducing treatment times. With the InCise MLC, the CyberKnife M6 Series can be used to treat larger
and irregular tumors more efficiently.

TomoTherapy Systems, including the Radixact System, our next generation TomoTherapy platform

The TomoTherapy Systems include the Radixact System, the next-generation TomoTherapy platform, which
includes configuration options of X5, X7 and X9, and the TomoTherapy H Series, with configuration options of
TomoH, TomoHD, and TomoHDA. The Radixact System was cleared for sale by the FDA in 2016 and has been
cleared in most major markets globally. These systems consist of fully integrated and versatile radiation therapy
systems used by healthcare professionals in the treatment of a wide range of cancer types. We believe the
TomoTherapy Systems offer clinicians and patients the following benefits:

10

Versatile treatment capabilities. The TomoTherapy Systems’ ring gantry platform enables precise and efficient

treatments with a high degree of dose conformity. The high-speed binary MLC, is integrated with the linac and
consists of 64 individual low leakage tungsten leaves that move across the beam to either block or allow the passage
of radiation, effectively modulating and shaping the beam as it is emitted. The combination of the ring gantry and
the high-speed MLC enable treatment to be delivered continuously in a 360-degree helical pattern around the
patient’s body (which we refer to as TomoHelical). Additionally, the TomoDirect feature provides the
TomoTherapy System’s added versatility to provide high quality, fixed angle beams for those cases suited to simple
tangential beam radiation delivery. All TomoTherapy Systems enable an operator to provide non-isocentric 3D
conformal radiotherapy image-guided IMRT, or stereotactic treatments within a typical cylindrical volume of 80
centimeters in diameter and up to 135 centimeters in length. This expansive treatment field allows single or multiple
tumors, located anywhere in body, to be treated in a single session. The TomoTherapy System’s versatility,
efficiency and precision offer clinicians an extensive range of effective treatment possibilities.

Real-time tracking of tumor movement. Synchrony motion tracking and correction technology adds intrafraction
motion synchronization capabilities to the Radixact System, enabling real-time tracking, visualization and correction
for tumor motion during treatment, with the goal of improving dose accuracy and treatment times compared to
conventional radiation therapy systems. The Synchrony system provides what we believe is unsurpassed clinical
accuracy and makes it possible and practical for clinicians to deliver radiation dose with sub-millimeter precision,
even for tumors that move.

Daily, quantitative imaging for better identification of tumors, dose verification and treatment planning. The

Radixact Systems offer integrated quantitative CT imaging capabilities, which depict the density of tumors and
healthy tissue more accurately than traditional radiation therapy systems. We have recently launched our CTrue IR
(Iterative Reconstruction) imaging technology, which uses a low-intensity, fan beam CT to collect quantitative
images prior to each treatment. These images allow lung tissue, fat, muscle and bone to be clearly distinguished. In
addition, because of the low radiation dose involved, the clinician can collect daily, quantitative images, which can
be used to monitor changes in the patient’s internal anatomy and quickly adapt the plan to those changes if deemed
clinically necessary. We believe daily, quantitative, low dose images are essential to enabling optimal patient
treatment, helping to ensure that original clinical objectives are achieved, from the first fraction to the last.

Integrated treatment system for precise radiation delivery. We believe the integration of our CT imaging
technology, treatment planning and helical delivery mode of radiation beams enables highly accurate and precise
radiation therapy. Our planning software allows clinicians to establish the contours of a tumor and any normal radio-
sensitive structures in close proximity to the treatment beam. The TomoTherapy Systems use an intelligent dose
optimization algorithm to ensure the radiation beam conforms to the patient’s tumor and minimizes exposure to
surrounding healthy tissue structures, providing a highly-targeted and effective dose distribution. These features
significantly benefit patients by increasing the radiation delivered to cancerous tissues while avoiding damage to
nearby healthy tissues, thus also minimizing side effects.

Efficient clinical workflow for Image Guided Radiation Therapy, or IGRT, and adaptive radiation therapy.
The TomoTherapy Systems integrate into a single system all of the key elements for radiation therapy, including
treatment planning, CT image-guided patient positioning, treatment delivery, quality assurance and adaptive
planning. The imaging and treatment planning capabilities of many traditional systems are more modular or require
cumbersome add-ons or separate treatment planning systems that result in clinicians taking more steps between
scanning, planning and treatment of patients. Conversely, the integrated CTrue IR imaging and treatment features of
the Radixact Systems allow clinicians to scan, plan and treat cancer patients efficiently. Treatment plans as well as
daily images can be easily accessed remotely, enabling clinical teams to collaboratively work together, regardless of
location, ensuring high quality plan development and delivery.

11

Low barriers to installation and implementation. All external beam radiation systems must be housed in

rooms which have special radiation shielding to capture any radiation not absorbed by the patient. The
TomoTherapy Systems’ size and self-contained design allow customers to retrofit them into existing treatment
rooms previously used for legacy radiation therapy systems and avoid, or reduce, the significant construction costs
that can be associated with building new, larger treatment rooms, which are often required of other radiation therapy
systems. With both imaging and radiation delivery capabilities integrated on a ring gantry, the TomoTherapy
Systems require less space than other linac systems, which use large moving arms to position the linac or
incorporate adjacent imaging equipment used for treatment planning. In addition, because the TomoTherapy
Systems have an integrated radiation beam stop, which shields radiation that passes through the patient, they require
less radiation shielding in treatment room walls as compared to traditional systems. We also preassemble, test and
commission each TomoTherapy System at our manufacturing facility, and ship the system almost fully assembled.
This process typically allows radiation “beam on” within four days after delivery and first patient treatments to
begin within 14 to 28 days after delivery.

Platform for further technological advancements in adaptive radiation therapy. We believe the

TomoTherapy Systems are uniquely positioned to enable truly adaptive radiation therapy because of their unique
ability to provide daily, quantitative images, high speed delivery of radiation from fixed beam angles or helically
from 360 degrees around the body and real-time verification of the dose received by the patient. We believe the
combination of these design features and our integrated treatment planning and optimization software will allow us
to continue to enhance the TomoTherapy Systems’ adaptive capabilities to enable clinicians to routinely and easily
adjust a patient’s treatment as needed, thereby remaining true to the intent of the original treatment plan.

In addition to the functionality listed above, the TomoTherapy Systems may be enhanced with the following

product options: TomoDirect Mode and TomoEdge Delivery. Key capabilities of these options are as follow:

TomoDirect Mode. TomoDirect is standard on the TomoTherapy HDA model and Radixact X7 and X9
models. The TomoDirect mode is a discrete angle, non-rotational delivery mode for the TomoTherapy Systems
that allows the user to create a treatment plan that defines target-specific gantry angles. Treatment delivery is
quickly completed for each beam angle. The TomoDirect mode enables users to plan and treat routine cases with
greater efficiency, while achieving the quality of TomoTherapy’s unique beamlet-based delivery.

TomoEdge Delivery. TomoEdge is standard on the TomoTherapy HDA model and Radixact X7 and X9
models. By dynamically varying the width of the collimator jaws during treatment delivery, dose to normal
healthy tissues immediately adjacent to the tumor is reduced, contributing to the minimization of radiation side
effects. Additionally, overall irradiation time is shortened because the jaws opening can effectively tailor to the
size of the tumor, enabling more efficient dose coverage. The resulting gains in treatment quality and speed
expand the TomoTherapy Systems clinical and market reach within the conventional and stereotactic
radiotherapy spaces.

complex cases.

12

The Accuray Precision Treatment Planning System can be further enhanced with optional advanced capabilities

below:

PreciseART Adaptive Radiation Therapy Option. The PreciseART Radiation Therapy Option extends adaptive
radiotherapy possibilities, delivering an entirely new level of system integration and workflow automation for
Radixact Treatment Systems and other TomoTherapy Systems compatible with iDMS. The PreciseART Option
enables clinicians to monitor patient treatment and efficiently adapt plans, helping clinics of all sizes deliver more
precise treatments to more patients. It offers automated processing of daily imaging to enable clinicians to
monitor all patients and set protocol-specific action levels to flag cases for review and possible plan adaptation.
Its streamlined re-planning capabilities leverage full integration of treatment delivery, planning and database
systems to allow clinicians to efficiently generate new treatment plans based on previous plan data. It also
maintains the integrity of original treatment plans to ensure tumor coverage, preserve Organ-At-Risk doses and
reduce toxicity. We believe our PreciseART software is the only practically usable adaptive therapy solution
available to the mainstream radiation therapy market.

PreciseRTX Retreatment Option. The PreciseRTX Retreatment Option from Accuray, developed in
partnership with MIM Software, makes retreatment planning more efficient and effective. The option helps to
accelerate and enhance the process of creating new treatment plans for patients who have received previous
irradiation. The workflow includes importation of patient dose data, from either Accuray or non-Accuray
planning systems, automatic deformation of original plan contours onto a new treatment planning CT, automatic
deformation of previously delivered dose onto a new planning CT, generation of the re-treatment plan based on
the information from existing plan and summation of the original and new treatment plans to review the total
dose.

Accuray iDMS Data Management System. Accuray iDMS creates a centralized platform for storing and
managing all patient and treatment plan data. Designed to integrate with a wide range of technologies and systems,
iDMS enables users and applications to securely and seamlessly access the data they need to drive efficient,
informed, effective treatment. Information for patients to-be-treated or previously treated on any iDMS-compatible
Accuray treatment delivery system will be maintained as a single treatment record, providing the flexibility to treat

privileges to control patient data access. It supports the Storage Vault option which can safely maintain years of
encrypted patient data. It also offers customizable report generation of patient, plan and treatment system with
Report Administration Application. In addition, the Accuray iDMS enables connectivity between Accuray Systems
with other systems in radiation oncology departments, encompassing the entire radiotherapy workflow. iDMS offers
several key capabilities:

OIS Connect Option. The OIS Connect software option is a DICOM standard-based solution that provides the
ability to interface all iDMS-enabled Accuray treatment systems to a compatible Oncology Information System
(OIS). This integration with electronic medical record generates a comprehensive export of the radiotherapy
treatment history delivered using Accuray treatment systems.

Sales and Marketing

In the United States, we primarily market to customers directly through our sales organization, and we also
market to customers through sales agents and Integrated Delivery Networks (IDNs). Outside the United States, we
market to customers directly and through distributors. We have sales and service offices in Europe, Japan, China,
and other countries in Asia, Latin America, and throughout the world.

In direct sales markets, we employ a combination of territory sales managers, training specialists and marketing
managers. Territory sales managers and product specialists are responsible for selling the systems to hospitals and
stand-alone treatment facilities. Our marketing managers help market our current products and work with our
engineering group to identify and develop upgrades and enhancements for our suite of products. Our training
specialists train radiation oncologists, surgeons, physicists, dosimetrists and radiation therapists.

We market our products to radiation oncologists, neurosurgeons, general surgeons, oncology specialists and other
referring physicians in hospitals and stand-alone treatment facilities. We intend to continue to increase our focus on
marketing and education efforts to surgical specialists and oncologists responsible for treating tumors throughout the
body, and are also working closely with hospital administrators to demonstrate the economic benefits of our
offering. Our marketing activities also include efforts to inform and educate cancer patients about the benefits of the
CyberKnife and TomoTherapy Systems.

Under our standard distribution agreement, we generally appoint a distributor for a specific country. We typically

also retain the right to distribute the CyberKnife and TomoTherapy Systems in such territories, though we remain
bound by certain agreements entered into by TomoTherapy prior to our acquisition that did not retain such rights in
certain jurisdictions. In most territories, our distributors generally provide the full range of service and sales
capabilities, although we may provide installation and service support for certain distributors.

Manufacturing

We purchase major components for each of our products from outside suppliers, including the robotic

manipulator, treatment couches, gantry, magnetrons and computers. We closely monitor supplier quality, delivery
performance and conformance to product specifications, and we also expect suppliers to contribute to our efforts to
improve our manufacturing cost and quality.

Some of the components are obtained from single-source suppliers. These components include the gantry, couch,

magnetron and solid state modulator for the TomoTherapy Systems and the robot, couch, and magnetron for the
CyberKnife Systems. In most cases, if a supplier was unable to deliver these components, we believe we would be
able to find other sources for these components subject to any regulatory qualifications, if required. In the event of a
disruption in any of these suppliers’ ability to deliver a component, we would need to secure a replacement supplier.
Additionally, any disruption or interruption of the supply of key subsystems could result in increased costs and
delays in deliveries of our treatment systems, which could adversely affect our reputation and results of operations.
To help mitigate these risks, we negotiate long-term supply contracts or submit long-term orders and forecasts to our
single-source suppliers with the goal that our demand can be satisfied and any capacity problem can be mitigated.

Currently, we manufacture our CyberKnife and TomoTherapy Systems in Madison, Wisconsin. We manufacture

the linear accelerator for our CyberKnife and TomoTherapy Systems at our Chengdu, China facility. Our facilities
employ state-of-the-art manufacturing techniques and equipment. The components manufactured at our Chengdu
facility are produced under the International Standard Organization (ISO), 9001:2008 certified quality management
systems. The completed medical devices are designed, manufactured, installed, serviced and distributed at our
Sunnyvale, Madison and Morges facilities under quality management systems which are compliant to the
internationally recognized quality system standard for medical devices ISO, 13485:2003, and the Quality System
regulations enforced by the FDA. We believe our manufacturing facilities will be adequate for our expected growth
and foreseeable future demands for at least the next three years.

The manufacturing processes at our facilities include fabrication, subassembly, assembly, system integration and

final testing. Our manufacturing personnel consist of fabricators, assemblers and technicians supported by
production engineers as well as planning and supply chain managers. Our quality assurance program includes
various quality control measures from inspection of raw material, purchased parts and assemblies through on-line
inspection. We have also incorporated lean manufacturing techniques to improve manufacturing flow and efficiency.
Lean manufacturing techniques include reducing wasteful and extraneous activities, balancing assembly and test
flow, as well as better utilizing production assets and resources.

14

Intellectual Property

The proprietary nature of, and protection for, our products, product components, processes and know-how are
important to our business. We seek patent protection in the United States and internationally for our systems and
other technology where available and when appropriate. We may also in-license the technology, inventions and
improvements that we consider important to the development of our business. In addition, we also rely upon trade
secrets, know-how, trademarks, copyright protection, as well as confidentiality agreements with employees,
consultants and other third parties, to protect our proprietary rights and to develop and maintain our competitive
position.

As of June 30, 2019, we held exclusive field of use licenses or ownership of approximately 456 U.S. and foreign

patents, and approximately 110 U.S. and foreign patent applications. These patents and applications cover various
components and techniques incorporated into the CyberKnife and TomoTherapy Systems, or which may be
incorporated into new technologies under current development, all of which we believe will allow us to maintain a
competitive advantage in the field of radiation therapy systems. We cannot be certain that any patents will be issued
from any of our pending patent applications, nor can we be certain that any of our existing patents or any patents
that may be granted to us in the future will provide us with protection.

We periodically monitor the activities of our competitors and other third parties with respect to their use of

intellectual property.

Research and Development

Continued innovation is critical to our future success. Our current product development activities include projects

expanding clinical applications, driving product differentiation, and continually improving the usability,
interoperability, reliability, and performance of our products. We continue to seek to develop innovative
technologies so that we can improve our products and increase our sales. Some of our product improvements have
been discussed above under the heading “Our Products.”

Our research activities strive to enable new product development opportunities by developing new technologies
and advancing areas of existing core technology such as next generation linear accelerators, adaptive therapy, patient
imaging, motion management, or treatment planning capabilities.

The modular design of our systems supports rapid development for new clinical capabilities and performance
enhancements by generally allowing each subsystem to evolve within the overall platform design. Access to regular
product upgrades protects customer investment in the system, facilitates the rapid adoption of new features and
capabilities among existing installed base customers, and drives increasing value in our multiyear service plans.
These upgrades will generally consist of software and hardware enhancements designed to increase the ease of use
of our systems, improve the speed and accuracy of patient treatment and meet other customer needs.

A key component of our research and development program is our collaboration with research programs at

selected hospitals, cancer treatment centers, academic institutions and research institutions worldwide. Our
agreements with these third-party collaborators generally require us to make milestone-based payments during the
course of a particular project and often also require that we make up-front payments to fund initial activities.
Generally, we obtain non-exclusive worldwide rights to commercialize results from the collaboration with an option
to negotiate an exclusive license. For inventions resulting from the collaboration that we own or exclusively license,
we generally grant a royalty-free license for the purpose of continuing the institution’s research and development,
and from time to time, we also grant broader licenses. Our research collaboration programs include work on clinical
protocols and hardware and software developments. We also work with suppliers to develop new components in
order to increase the reliability and performance of our products and seek opportunities to acquire or invest in the
research of other parties where we believe it is likely to benefit our existing or future products.

We have entered into collaboration agreements with a variety of industrial partners within the fields of radiation

oncology and medical imaging to provide us with opportunities to accelerate our innovation capability and bring
complimentary products and technologies to market. We continue to seek out new partnerships to complement our
internal developments and implement our product strategies.

15

Competition

The medical device industry in general and the non-invasive cancer treatment field in particular, are subject to

intense and increasing competition and rapidly evolving technologies. Because our products often have long
development and regulatory clearance and approval cycles, we must anticipate changes in the marketplace and the
direction of technological innovation and customer demands. To compete successfully, we will need to continue to
demonstrate the advantages of our products and technologies over well-established alternative procedures, products
and technologies, and convince physicians and other healthcare decision makers of the advantages of our products
and technologies. Traditional surgery and other forms of minimally invasive procedures, brachytherapy,
chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and other drugs remain alternatives to the CyberKnife and TomoTherapy Systems.

New product sales in this competitive market are primarily dominated by two companies: Elekta AB (Elekta) and
Varian Medical Systems, Inc. (Varian). Some manufacturers of standard linac systems, including Varian and Elekta,
have products that can be used in combination with body and/or head frame systems and image-guidance systems to
perform both radiosurgical and radiotherapy procedures. Our other competitors include BrainLAB AG (BrainLAB),
ViewRay Inc. (ViewRay), and other companies in the radiosurgical and radiation therapy markets.

Furthermore, many government, academic and business entities are investing substantial resources in research
and development of cancer treatments, including surgical approaches, radiation treatment, MRI-guided radiotherapy
systems, proton therapy systems, drug treatment, immunotherapy, gene therapy, and other approaches. Successful
developments that result in new approaches for the treatment of cancer could reduce the attractiveness of our
products or render them obsolete.

Our future success will depend in large part on our ability to establish and maintain a competitive position in
current and future technologies. Rapid technological development may render the CyberKnife and TomoTherapy
Systems and their technologies obsolete. Many of our competitors have or may have greater corporate, financial,
operational, sales and marketing resources, and more experience in research and development than we have. We
cannot assume that our competitors will not succeed in developing or marketing technologies or products that are
more effective or commercially attractive than our products or that would render our technologies and products
obsolete or less useful. We may not have the financial resources, technical expertise, marketing, distribution or
support capabilities to compete successfully in the future. Our competitive position also depends, among other
things, on:

• Widespread awareness, acceptance and adoption of our products by the radiation oncology and cancer

therapy markets;

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

Innovations that improve the effectiveness and productivity of our systems’ treatment processes and enable
them to address emerging customer needs;

Availability of reimbursement coverage from third-party payors (including insurance companies,
governments, and/or others) for procedures performed using our systems;

Inclusion of radiotherapy in countries’ cancer treatment policies as an effective treatment modality;

Published, peer-reviewed data supporting the efficacy and safety of our systems;

Limiting the time required from proof of feasibility to routine production;

Limiting the time period and cost of regulatory approvals or clearances;

The manufacture and delivery of our products in sufficient volumes on time, and accurately predicting and
controlling costs associated with manufacturing, installation, warranty and maintenance of the products;

Our ability to attract and retain qualified personnel;

16

•

•

•

•

The extent of our intellectual property protection or our ability to otherwise develop proprietary products and
processes;

Our ability to successfully expand into new and developing markets;

Securing sufficient capital resources to expand both our continued research and development, and sales and
marketing efforts; and

Obtaining and maintaining any necessary United States or foreign regulatory approvals or clearances.

Our customers’ equipment purchase considerations typically include reliability, treatment quality, service
capabilities, patient throughput, price, payment terms and equipment supplier viability. We believe we compete
favorably with our competitors on price and value based upon the technology offered by our treatment systems. We
strive to provide a technologically superior product that covers substantially all aspects of radiation therapy to
deliver precise treatments with high-quality clinical outcomes that meet or exceed customer expectations.

In addition to competition from technologies performing similar functions as our treatment systems, competition

also exists for the limited capital expenditure budgets of our customers. For example, our treatment systems may
compete with other equipment required by a radiation therapy department for financing under the same capital
expenditure budget, which is typically limited. A purchaser, such as a hospital or cancer treatment center, may be
required to select between the two items of capital equipment. Our ability to compete may also be adversely affected
when purchase decisions are based solely upon price, since our products are premium-priced systems due to their
higher level of functionality and performance.

U.S. Reimbursement

In the United States, healthcare providers that purchase capital equipment such as the CyberKnife and
TomoTherapy Systems generally rely on government and private third-party payors for reimbursement for the
healthcare treatment and services they provide. Examples of these types of payors include Medicare, Medicaid,
private health insurance plans, and health maintenance organizations, which reimburse all or a portion of the cost of
treatment, as well as related healthcare services. Reimbursement involves three components: coverage, coding and
payment.

Coverage

There are currently no National Coverage Determinations in place under Medicare for CyberKnife or

TomoTherapy treatments. Medicare coverage criteria for treatments performed on a CyberKnife and TomoTherapy
is outlined in Local Coverage Determinations or, in the absence of a formal policy, treatment is covered as long as it
is considered reasonable and necessary. The most common indications covered by Medicare in Local Coverage
Determinations for radiotherapy are primary and metastatic tumors in the brain, spine, lung, liver, kidney, pancreas,
adrenal gland, head and neck, breast, prostate, abdominal and retroperitoneal regions, as well as other cancers that
have failed previous treatment. Commercial payor policies vary with respect to coverage for radiotherapy including
many of the indications covered by Medicare, though coverage criteria may differ.

Coding

The codes that are used to report radiosurgery treatment delivery in 2019 for the hospital outpatient department
are Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) codes 77372 and 77373 for single fraction intracranial radiosurgery and
single fraction extracranial/multi-session radiosurgery/stereotactic body radiation therapy. For freestanding centers,
robotic radiosurgery is billed with robotic radiosurgery Healthcare Common Procedural Codes (HCPCs) G0339 and
G0340. The non-robotic SRS/SBRT codes 77372 and 77373 are also payable codes in the freestanding site of
service for non-robotic SRS/SBRT.

17

In 2019, in the hospital outpatient department, IMRT delivery is billed under CPT code 77385 for prostate, breast

and physical compensator IMRT and 77386 for all other treatments. For 3D CRT three codes are used to report
simple, intermediate, and complex treatments. Treatments using the TomoTherapy Systems, which are considered
complex treatments, are reported under the complex 3D-CRT code 77412. In December 2015, the Patient Access
and Medicare Protection Act (PAMPA) stopped the IMRT and 3D CRT delivery codes from being implemented and
prevented reimbursement reductions in the freestanding center setting through calendar year 2019. Although the
payment freeze is set to expire on December 31, 2019, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has
indicated in the 2020 Medicare Physician Fee Schedule Proposed Rule that it will continue to recognize the
temporary G codes and maintain payment stability in calendar year 2020. We expect all valid delivery codes will be
recognized by commercial payers. Other codes are used to report treatment planning, dosimetry, treatment
management, and other procedures routinely performed for treating radiosurgery or radiotherapy patients.

Payment

In the United States, the majority of procedures using the CyberKnife, TomoTherapy, and Radixact Systems are
performed in the hospital outpatient department. Payment rates under the Medicare fee-for-service methodology are
established based on cost data submitted by hospitals. CMS pays separately for ancillary procedures in addition to
the delivery of IMRT, 3D CRT, and SRS/SBRT as well as a Comprehensive APC that bundles delivery and some
ancillary services for single session cranial radiosurgery.

Payment for treatment with CyberKnife and TomoTherapy Systems are also available in the freestanding center
setting. In 2019, the primary treatment delivery codes for robotic radiosurgery are priced by the regional Medicare
Administrative Contractors. In 2020, it is expected the robotic SRS/SBRT delivery codes will remain contractor
priced for providers paid under the traditional fee-for-service methodology. Payment rates for IMRT and 3DRT
procedures are set by CMS with adjustments to account for geographic market variations. No major cuts by CMS
have occurred to IMRT and 3DCRT in the past three years and payment is expected to remain stable through 2020.

In July 2019, CMS released a proposed rule titled Medicare Program; Specialty Care Models to Improve Quality

of Care and Reduce Expenditures. If finalized as proposed, this rule would significantly alter CMS’ payment
methodology for radiation oncology services. Specifically, payment would be determined by the patient’s diagnosis
and include all radiation oncology services provided within a 90-day period. Providers may be mandatorily required
to participate in this model based upon the location where the radiation treatment is provided to the Medicare
beneficiary. CMS projects that 40% of the radiation oncology providers will be included in the model and 60% will
continue to receive reimbursement based on fee-for-service methodology. If implemented as proposed, CMS
anticipates that this model will result in 3-5% savings to the Medicare program.

The federal government reviews and adjust rates annually, and from time to time consider various Medicare and

other healthcare reform proposals that could significantly affect both private and public reimbursement for
healthcare services, including radiotherapy and radiosurgery, in hospitals and free-standing clinics. In the past, we
have seen our customers’ decision-making process complicated by the uncertainties surrounding reimbursement
rates for radiotherapy and radiosurgery in the United States. State government reimbursement for services is
determined pursuant to each state’s Medicaid plan, which is established by state law and regulations, subject to
requirements of federal law and regulations.

Foreign Reimbursement

Internationally, reimbursement and healthcare payment systems vary from country to country and include
single-payor, government-managed systems as well as systems in which private payors and government-managed
systems exist side-by-side. In general, the process of obtaining coverage approvals has been slower outside of the
United States. Our ability to achieve adoption of our treatment systems, and significant sales volume in international
markets, will depend in part on the availability of reimbursement for procedures performed using our products.

Regulatory Matters

Domestic Regulation

Our products and software are medical devices subject to regulation by the FDA, as well as other regulatory
bodies. FDA regulations govern the following activities that we perform and will continue to perform to ensure
medical products distributed domestically or exported internationally are safe and effective for their intended uses:

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

Product design and development;

Document and purchasing controls;

Production and process controls;

Labeling and packaging controls;

Product storage;

Recordkeeping;

Servicing;

Corrective and preventive action and complaint handling;

Pre-market clearance or approval;

Advertising and promotion; and

Product sales and distribution.

FDA pre-market clearance and approval requirements. Unless an exemption applies, each medical device we

wish to commercially distribute in the United States will require either 510(k) clearance or pre-market approval
from the FDA. The FDA classifies medical devices into one of three classes. Devices deemed to pose lower risks are
placed in either class I or II, which requires the manufacturer to submit to the FDA a pre-market notification
requesting permission to commercially distribute the device, known as 510(k) clearance. Some low risk devices are
exempted from this requirement. Devices deemed by the FDA to pose the greatest risks, such as life-sustaining,
life-supporting or implantable devices, or devices deemed not substantially equivalent to a previously cleared 510(k)
devices, are placed in class III, requiring pre-market approval. All of our current products are class II devices
requiring 510(k) clearances.

510(k) clearance pathway. When a 510(k) clearance is required, we must submit a pre-market notification
demonstrating that our proposed device is substantially equivalent to a previously cleared and legally marketed
510(k) device or a device that was in commercial distribution before May 28, 1976 for which the FDA has not yet
called for the submission of pre-market approval applications (PMA). By statute, the FDA has targets to clear or
deny a 510(k) pre-market notification after 90 days of review from submission of the application. Clearance
generally takes longer as the FDA may require further information, including clinical data, to make a determination
regarding substantial equivalence.

In January 2002, we received 510(k) clearance for the TomoTherapy Hi-Art System intended to be used as an
integrated system for the planning and delivery of IMRT for the treatment of cancer. In August 2008, we received
510(k) clearance for our TomoDirect System. In June 2016, we received 510(k) clearance for the Radixact
Treatment Delivery Platform. We also received 510(k) clearance for our new treatment planning and data
management systems, Accuray Precision Treatment Planning System and iDMS Data Management System. In
November 2018, we received 510(k) clearance for Synchrony motion tracking and correction technology for the
Radixact System.

19

In July 1999, we received 510(k) clearance for the CyberKnife System for use in the head and neck regions of the

body. In August 2001, we received 510(k) clearance for the CyberKnife System to provide treatment planning and
image guided stereotactic radiosurgery and precision radiotherapy for lesions, tumors and conditions anywhere in
the body where radiation treatment is indicated. In April 2002, we received 510(k) clearance for the Synchrony
Motion Tracking System as an option to the CyberKnife System, intended to enable dynamic image guided
stereotactic radiosurgery and precision radiotherapy of lesions, tumors and conditions that move under influence of
respiration. In October 2012, we received 510(k) clearance for the InCise MLC with clearance from the FDA on
July 1, 2015.

Pre-market approval (PMA) pathway. A PMA must be submitted to the FDA if the device is not eligible for
the 510(k) clearance process. A PMA must be supported by extensive data including, but not limited to, technical,
preclinical, clinical trials, manufacturing and labeling to demonstrate reasonable evidence of the device’s safety and
efficacy to the FDA’s satisfaction. Currently, no device we have developed and commercialized has required
pre-market approval.

Product modifications. After a device receives 510(k) clearance or a PMA approval, it may be changed or
modified. Any modification that could significantly affect its safety or effectiveness, or that would constitute a
significant change in its intended use, will require a new clearance or approval. Regulations provide that the
manufacturer initially determines when a specific modification requires notification to FDA. The FDA has issued
draft guidance that, if finalized and implemented, will result in manufacturers needing to seek a significant number
of new clearances for changes made to legally marketed devices. The FDA reviews the manufacturer’s decision to
file a 510(k) or PMA for modifications during facility audits.

We have modified aspects of our CyberKnife and TomoTherapy Systems since receiving regulatory clearance,
and we have applied for and obtained additional 510(k) clearances for these modifications when we determined such
clearances were required. The FDA may review our 510(k) filing decision, and can disagree with our initial
determination. FDA may take regulatory action from requiring new filings to injunction if it disagrees with our
determinations not to seek a new 510(k) clearance or PMA approval for modifications. The FDA reviewed and
cleared the most recent versions of the CyberKnife System and TomoTherapy Systems, including the Radixact
System, in this fiscal year.

Pervasive and continuing regulation. After a device is placed on the market, numerous regulatory

requirements apply. These include:

•

•

Quality System Regulation (QSR), which require manufacturers, including third-party manufacturers, to
follow stringent design, testing, documentation and other quality assurance procedures during product design
and throughout the manufacturing process;

Labeling regulations and FDA prohibitions against the promotion of products for uncleared, unapproved or
off-label uses; and

• Medical device reporting regulations, which require that manufacturers report to the FDA if their device may

have caused or contributed to a death or serious injury or malfunctioned in a way that would likely cause or
contribute to a death or serious injury if the malfunction were to recur.

The FDA has broad post-market and regulatory enforcement powers. We are subject to unannounced inspections

by the FDA and the Food and Drug Branch of the California Department of Health Services to determine our
compliance with the QSR and other regulations, and these inspections may include the manufacturing facilities of
some of our subcontractors. Our Madison facility, where we manufacture the finished TomoTherapy and
CyberKnife Systems, was most recently inspected by the FDA in August 2017. The August 2017 inspection resulted
in no observations. We believe we are in substantial compliance with the QSR. Failure to comply with applicable
regulatory requirements can result in enforcement action by the FDA, which may include any of the following
sanctions:

•

•

•

Fines, injunctions, consent decrees and civil penalties;

Recall or seizure of our products;

Operating restrictions, partial suspension or total shutdown of production;

20

•

Refusing our requests for 510(k) clearance or pre-market approval of new products or new intended uses;

• Withdrawing 510(k) clearance or pre-market approvals that are already granted; and

•

Criminal prosecution.

The FDA also has the authority to require us to repair, replace or refund the cost of any medical device that we
have manufactured or distributed. If any of these events were to occur, they could have a material adverse effect on
our business.

Radiological health. Because our CyberKnife and TomoTherapy Systems contain both laser and X-ray
components, and because we assemble these components during manufacturing and service activities, we are also
regulated under the Electronic Product Radiation Control Provisions of the United States Federal Food, Drug, and
Cosmetic Act. This law requires laser and X-ray products to comply with regulations and applicable performance
standards, and manufacturers of these products to certify in product labeling and reports to the FDA that their
products comply with all such standards. The law also requires manufacturers to file new product reports, and to file
annual reports and maintain manufacturing, testing and sales records, and report product defects. Various warning
labels must be affixed. Assemblers of diagnostic X-ray systems are also required to certify in reports to the FDA,
equipment purchasers, and where applicable, to state agencies responsible for radiation protection, that diagnostic
and/or therapeutic X-ray systems they assemble meet applicable requirements. Failure to comply with these
requirements could result in enforcement action by the FDA, which can include injunctions, civil penalties, and the
issuance of warning letters.

Fraud and abuse laws. We are subject to various federal and state laws pertaining to healthcare fraud and
abuse, including anti-kickback laws and physician self-referral laws. Violations of these laws are punishable by
significant criminal and civil sanctions, including, in some instances, exclusion from participation in federal and
state healthcare programs, including Medicare and Medicaid. Because of the far-reaching nature of these laws, there
can be no assurance that we would not be required to alter one or more of our practices to be in compliance with
these laws. Evolving interpretations of current laws or the adoption of new federal or state laws or regulations could
adversely affect many of the arrangements we have with customers and physicians. In addition, there can be no
assurance that the occurrence of one or more violations of these laws or regulations would not result in a material
adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

Anti-kickback laws. Our operations are subject to broad and changing federal and state anti-kickback laws. The
Office of the Inspector General of the Department of Health and Human Services (OIG) is primarily responsible for
enforcing the federal Anti-Kickback Statute and generally for identifying fraud and abuse activities affecting
government programs. The federal Anti-Kickback Statute prohibits persons from knowingly and willfully soliciting,
receiving, offering or providing remuneration directly or indirectly to induce either the referral of an individual, or
the furnishing, recommending, or arranging of a good or service, for which payment may be made under a federal
healthcare program such as Medicare and Medicaid. “Remuneration” has been broadly interpreted to include
anything of value, including such items as gifts, discounts, the furnishing of supplies or equipment, credit
arrangements, waiver of payments, and providing anything of value at less than fair market value.

Penalties for violating the federal Anti-Kickback Statute include criminal fines of up to $25,000 and/or

imprisonment for up to five years for each violation, civil monetary penalties, which could result in treble damages
plus fines of up to $50,000 for each violation, and possible exclusion from participation in federal healthcare
programs such as Medicare and Medicaid. Many states have adopted prohibitions similar to the federal
Anti-Kickback Statute, some of which apply to the referral of patients for healthcare services reimbursed by any
source, not only by the Medicare and Medicaid programs, and do not include comparable exceptions.

The OIG has issued safe harbor regulations which set forth certain activities and business relationships that are
deemed safe from prosecution under the federal Anti-Kickback Statute. There are safe harbors for various types of
arrangements, including, without limitation, certain investment interests, leases and personal services and
management contracts. The failure of a particular activity to comply in all regards with the safe harbor regulations
does not mean that the activity violates the federal Anti-Kickback Statute or that prosecution will be pursued.
However, conduct and business arrangements that do not fully satisfy each applicable safe harbor may result in
increased scrutiny by government enforcement authorities such as the OIG.

21

The OIG has identified the following arrangements with purchasers and their agents as ones raising potential risk

of violation of the federal Anti-Kickback Statute:

•

•

•

•

•

Discount and free good arrangements that are not properly disclosed or accurately reported to federal
healthcare programs;

Product support services, including billing assistance, reimbursement consultation and other services
specifically tied to support of the purchased product, offered in tandem with another service or program
(such as a reimbursement guarantee) that confers a benefit to the purchaser;

Educational grants conditioned in whole or in part on the purchase of equipment, or otherwise
inappropriately influenced by sales and marketing considerations;

Research funding arrangements, particularly post-marketing research activities, that are linked directly or
indirectly to the purchase of products, or otherwise inappropriately influenced by sales and marketing
considerations; and

Other offers of remuneration to purchasers that are expressly or impliedly related to a sale or sales volume,
such as “rebates” and “upfront payments,” other free or reduced-price goods or services, and payments to
cover costs of “converting” from a competitor’s products, particularly where the selection criteria for such
offers vary with the volume or value of business generated.

We have a variety of financial relationships with physicians who are in a position to generate business for us. For

example, physicians who own our stock also provide medical advisory and other consulting or collaboration
services. Similarly, we have a variety of different types of arrangements with our customers. In the case of our
former placement program, certain services and upgrades were provided without additional charge based on
procedure volume. In the past, we have also provided loans to our customers. We also provide research or
educational grants to customers to support customer studies related to, among other things, our CyberKnife and
TomoTherapy Systems.

If our past or present operations are found to be in violation of the federal Anti-Kickback Statute or similar

government regulations to which we or our customers are subject, we or our officers may be subject to the
applicable penalty associated with the violation, including significant civil and criminal penalties, damages, fines,
imprisonment, and exclusion from the Medicare and Medicaid programs. The impact of any such violation may lead
to curtailment or restructuring of our operations. Any penalties, damages, fines, or curtailment or restructuring of
our operations could adversely affect our ability to operate our business and our financial results. The risk of our
being found in violation of these laws is increased by the fact that some of these laws are open to a variety of
interpretations. Any action against us for violation of these laws, even if we successfully defend against it, could
cause us to incur significant legal expenses, divert our management’s attention from the operation of our business
and damage our reputation. If an enforcement action were to occur, our reputation and our business and financial
condition could be harmed, even if we were to prevail or settle the action. Similarly, if the physicians or other
providers or entities with which we do business are found to be non-compliant with applicable laws, they may be
subject to sanctions, which could also have a negative impact on our business.

Transparency laws. The Physician Payment Sunshine Act (the Sunshine Act), which was enacted by Congress

as part of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act on December 14, 2011, requires each applicable
manufacturer, which includes medical device companies such as Accuray, to track and report to the federal
government on an annual basis all payments and other transfers of value from such applicable manufacturer to U.S.
licensed physicians and teaching hospitals as well as physician ownership of such applicable manufacturer’s equity,
in each case subject to certain statutory exceptions. Such data will be made available by the government on a
publicly searchable website. Failure to comply with the data collection and reporting obligations imposed by the
Sunshine Act can result in civil monetary penalties ranging from $1,000 to $10,000 for each payment or other
transfer of value that is not reported (up to a maximum of $150,000 per reporting period) and from $10,000 to
$100,000 for each knowing failure to report (up to a maximum of $1 million per reporting period). In addition, we
are subject to similar state and foreign laws related to the tracking and reporting of payments and other transfers of
value to healthcare professionals. These laws require or will require that we implement the necessary and costly
infrastructure to track and report such payments and transfers of value. Failure to comply with these new tracking
and reporting laws could subject us to significant civil monetary penalties.

22

Physician self-referral laws. We are also subject to federal and state physician self-referral laws. The federal
Ethics in Patient Referrals Act of 1989, commonly known as the Stark Law, prohibits, subject to certain exceptions,
physician referrals of Medicare and Medicaid patients to an entity providing certain “designated health services” if
the physician or an immediate family member has any financial relationship with the entity. The Stark Law also
prohibits the entity receiving the referral from billing any good or service furnished pursuant to an unlawful referral.

In addition, in July 2008, CMS issued a final rule implementing significant amendments to the regulations under
the Stark Law. The final rule, which was effective October 1, 2009, imposes additional limitations on the ability of
physicians to refer patients to medical facilities in which the physician or an immediate family member has an
ownership interest for treatment. Among other things, the rule provides that leases of equipment between physician
owners that may refer patients and hospitals must be on a fixed rate, rather than a per use basis. Prior to enactment
of the final rule, physician owned entities had increasingly become involved in the acquisition of medical
technologies, including the CyberKnife System. In many cases, these entities entered into arrangements with
hospitals that billed Medicare for the furnishing of medical services, and the physician owners were among the
physicians who referred patients to the entity for services. The rule limits these arrangements and could require the
restructuring of existing arrangements between physicians owned entities and hospitals and could discourage
physicians from participating in the acquisition and ownership of medical technologies. The final rule also prohibits
percentage-based compensation in equipment leases. As a result of the finalization of these regulations, some
existing CyberKnife System operators have modified or restructured their corporate or organizational structures. In
addition, certain customers that planned to open CyberKnife centers in the United States involving physician
ownership have restructured their legal ownership structure. Certain entities were not able to establish viable models
for CyberKnife System operation and therefore canceled their CyberKnife System purchase agreements.
Accordingly, these regulations have resulted in cancellations of CyberKnife System purchase agreements and could
also reduce the attractiveness of medical technology acquisitions, including CyberKnife System purchases, by
physician-owned joint ventures or similar entities. As a result, these regulations have had, and could continue to
have, an adverse impact on our product sales and therefore on our business and results of operations.

A person who engages in a scheme to circumvent the Stark Law’s referral prohibition may be fined up to
$100,000 for each such arrangement or scheme. In addition, any person who presents or causes to be presented a
claim to the Medicare or Medicaid programs in violations of the Stark Law is subject to civil monetary penalties of
up to $15,000 per bill submission, an assessment of up to three times the amount claimed, and possible exclusion
from federal healthcare programs such as Medicare and Medicaid. Various states have corollary laws to the Stark
Law, including laws that require physicians to disclose any financial interest they may have with a healthcare
provider to their patients when referring patients to that provider. Both the scope and exceptions for such laws vary
from state to state.

Federal False Claims Act. The federal False Claims Act prohibits the knowing filing or causing the filing of a
false claim or the knowing use of false statements to obtain payment from the federal government. When an entity is
determined to have violated the False Claims Act, it may be required to pay three times the actual damages sustained
by the government, plus mandatory civil penalties of between $11,181 and $22,363 for each separate false claim.
Suits filed under the False Claims Act, known as “qui tam” actions, can be brought by any individual on behalf of
the government and such individuals, sometimes known as “relators” or, more commonly, as “whistleblowers,” may
share in any amounts paid by the entity to the government in fines or settlement. In addition, certain states have
enacted laws modeled after the federal False Claims Act. Qui tam actions have increased significantly in recent
years, causing greater numbers of healthcare companies to have to defend a false claim action, pay fines or be
excluded from Medicare, Medicaid or other federal or state healthcare programs as a result of an investigation
arising out of such action. We have retained the services of a reimbursement consultant, for which we pay certain
consulting fees, to provide us and facilities that have purchased a CyberKnife or TomoTherapy System, with general
reimbursement advice. While we believe this will assist our customers in filing proper claims for reimbursement,
and even though such consultants do not submit claims on behalf of our customers, the fact that we provide these
consultant services could expose us to additional scrutiny and possible liability in the event one of our customers is
investigated and determined to be in violation of any of these laws.

23

HIPAA. The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), created two new federal
crimes: healthcare fraud and false statements relating to healthcare matters. The healthcare fraud statute prohibits
knowingly and willfully executing a scheme to defraud any healthcare benefit program, including private payors. A
violation of this statute is a felony and may result in fines, imprisonment or exclusion from government sponsored
programs. The false statements statute prohibits knowingly and willfully falsifying, concealing or covering up a
material fact or making any materially false, fictitious or fraudulent statement in connection with the delivery of or
payment for healthcare benefits, items or services. A violation of this statute is a felony and may result in fines or
imprisonment.

As a participant in the healthcare industry, we are also subject to extensive laws and regulations protecting the

privacy and integrity of patient medical information, including privacy and security standards required under
HIPAA. The HIPAA privacy standard was amended by the Health Information Technology for Economic and
Clinical Health Act (HITECH), enacted as part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. HITECH
significantly increases the civil money penalties for violations of patient privacy rights protected under HIPAA.
Although we are not a covered entity under HIPAA, we have entered into agreements with certain covered entities
under which we are considered to be a “business associate” under HIPAA. As a business associate, we are required
to implement policies, procedures and reasonable and appropriate security measures to protect individually
identifiable health information we receive from covered entities. Furthermore, as of February 2010, business
associates are now directly subject to regulations under HIPAA, including a new enforcement scheme, criminal and
civil penalties for certain violations, and inspection requirements.

Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. The United States and foreign government regulators have increased
regulation, enforcement, inspections and governmental investigations of the medical device industry, including
increased United States government oversight and enforcement of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. Whenever the
United States or another foreign governmental authority concludes that we are not in compliance with applicable
laws or regulations, such governmental authority can impose fines, delay or suspend regulatory clearances, institute
proceedings to detain or seize our products, issue a recall, impose operating restrictions, enjoin future violations and
assess civil penalties against us or our officers or employees, and can recommend criminal prosecution to the
Department of Justice. Moreover, governmental authorities can ban or request the recall, repair, replacement or
refund of the cost of any device or product we manufacture or distribute. We are also potentially subject to the UK
Bribery Act, which could also lead to the imposition of civil and criminal fines. Any of the foregoing actions could
result in decreased sales as a result of negative publicity and product liability claims, and could have a material
adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

International Regulation

International sales of medical devices are subject to foreign government regulations, which vary substantially
from country to country. The time required to obtain clearance or approval by a foreign country may be longer or
shorter than that required for FDA clearance or approval, and the requirements are often different.

The primary regulatory environment in Europe is that of the European Union and the three additional member

states of the European Economic Area (EEA), which have adopted similar laws and regulations with respect to
medical devices. The European Union has adopted numerous directives and the European Committee for
Standardization has promulgated standards regulating the design, manufacture, clinical trials, labeling and adverse
event reporting for medical devices. Devices that comply with the requirements of the relevant directive will be
entitled to bear CE conformity marking, indicating that the device conforms to the essential requirements of the
applicable directives and, accordingly, may be commercially distributed throughout the member states of the EEA.

The method of assessing conformity to applicable standards and directives depends on the type and class of the
product, but normally involves a combination of self-assessment by the manufacturer and a third-party assessment
by a notified body, an independent and neutral institution appointed by a European Union member state to conduct
the conformity assessment. This relevant assessment may consist of an audit of the manufacturer’s quality system
(currently ISO 13485), provisions of the Medical Devices Directive, and specific testing of the manufacturer’s
device. Our facilities were first awarded the ISO 13485 certification in September 2002 and has been subsequently
maintained through periodic assessments, and we are currently authorized to affix the CE mark to our products,
allowing us to sell our products throughout the European Economic Area. The Medical Device Regulation (MDR)
comes into effect in the European Union in 2020. We will be required to obtain certification against the MDR to CE
mark new products, or make significant changes to existing products.

24

We are also currently subject to regulations in Japan. Under the Pharmaceutical Affairs Law in Japan, a

pre-market approval necessary to sell, market and import a product (Shonin) must be obtained from the Ministry of
Health, Labor and Welfare (MHLW), for our products. A Japanese distributor received the first government
approval to market the CyberKnife System from MHLW in November 1996. We received and maintain Shonin
approval from MHLW for CyberKnife Treatment Delivery Systems, M6 Series with InCise MLC, TomoTherapy
Treatment Delivery Systems, Radixact Treatment DeliverySystems, and associated Precision and iDMS software
products.

We are subject to additional regulations in other foreign countries, including, but not limited to, Canada, Taiwan,

China, Korea, and Russia in order to sell our products. We intend that either we or our distributors will receive any
necessary approvals or clearance prior to marketing our products in those international markets.

State Certificate of Need Laws

In some states, a certificate of need or similar regulatory approval is required prior to the acquisition of high-cost
capital items or the provision of new services. These laws generally require appropriate state agency determination
of public need and approval prior to the acquisition of such capital items or addition of new services. Certificate of
need regulations may preclude our customers from acquiring one of our systems, and from performing stereotactic
radiosurgery procedures using one of our systems. Several of our prospective customers currently are involved in
appeals of certificate of need determinations. If these appeals are not resolved in favor of these prospective
customers, they may be precluded from purchasing and/or performing services using one of our systems. Certificate
of need laws are the subject of continuing legislative activity, and a significant increase in the number of states
regulating the acquisition and use of one of our systems through certificate of need or similar programs could
adversely affect us.

Item 1A. RISK FACTORS

We operate in a rapidly changing environment that involves significant risks, a number of which are beyond our
control. In addition to the other information contained in this Form 10-K, the following discussion highlights some
of these risks and the possible impact of these factors on our business, financial condition and future results of
operations. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations
may be adversely impacted, causing the trading price of our common stock to decline. In addition, these risks and
uncertainties may impact the “forward-looking” statements described elsewhere in this Form 10-K and in the
documents incorporated herein by reference. They could affect our actual results of operations, causing them to
differ materially from those expressed in “forward- looking” statements.

Risks Related to Our Business

If the CyberKnife or TomoTherapy Systems do not achieve widespread market acceptance, we will not be able to
generate the revenue necessary to support our business.

Achieving physician, patient, hospital administrator and third-party payor acceptance of the CyberKnife and
TomoTherapy Systems as preferred methods of tumor treatment is crucial to our continued success. Physicians will
not begin to use or increase the use of the CyberKnife or TomoTherapy Systems unless they determine, based on
experience, clinical data and other factors, that the CyberKnife and TomoTherapy Systems are safe and effective
alternatives to traditional treatment methods. Further, physicians may be slow to adopt new or updated versions of
our CyberKnife and TomoTherapy Systems because of the perceived liability risks arising from the use of new
products and the uncertainty of reimbursement from third-party payors, particularly in light of ongoing health care
reform initiatives and the evolving U.S. health care environment.

We often need to educate physicians about the use of stereotactic radiosurgery, IGRT and adaptive radiation
therapy, convince healthcare payors that the benefits of the CyberKnife and TomoTherapy Systems and their related
treatment processes outweigh their costs, and help train qualified physicians in the skilled use of these systems. In
addition, we also must educate prospective customers regarding the entire functionality of our radiation therapy
systems and their relative benefits compared to alternative products and treatment methods. We must also increase
awareness among potential patients, who are increasingly educated about treatment options and therefore impact
adoption of new technologies by clinicians. We have expended and will continue to expend significant resources on
marketing and educational efforts to create awareness of stereotactic radiosurgery and Robotic IMRT as well as
adaptive radiation therapy and IGRT generally and to encourage the acceptance and adoption of our products for
these technologies. We cannot be sure that our products will gain significant market acceptance among physicians,
patients and healthcare payors, even if we spend significant time and expense on their education.

In addition, the CyberKnife and TomoTherapy Systems are major capital purchases, and purchase decisions are

greatly influenced by hospital administrators who are subject to increasing pressures to reduce costs. These and
other factors, including the following, may affect the rate and level of market acceptance of each of the CyberKnife
and TomoTherapy Systems:

•

•

•

•

the CyberKnife and TomoTherapy Systems’ price relative to other products or competing treatments;

our ability to develop new products and enhancements and receive regulatory clearances and approval, if
required, to products in a timely manner;

increased scrutiny by state boards when evaluating certificates of need requested by purchasing institutions;

perception by patients, physicians and other members of the healthcare community of the CyberKnife and
TomoTherapy Systems’ safety, efficacy, efficiency and benefits compared to competing technologies or
treatments;

26

• willingness of physicians to adopt new techniques and the ability of physicians to acquire the skills necessary

to operate the CyberKnife and TomoTherapy Systems;

•

•

extent of third-party coverage and reimbursement rates, particularly from Medicare, for procedures using the
CyberKnife and TomoTherapy Systems; and

development of new products and technologies by our competitors or new treatment alternatives.

If the CyberKnife or TomoTherapy Systems are unable to achieve or maintain market acceptance, new orders and

sales of our systems would be adversely affected, our revenue levels would decrease and our business would be
harmed.

Our ability to achieve profitability depends in part on maintaining or increasing our gross margins on product
sales and services, which we may not be able to achieve.

As of June 30, 2019, we had an accumulated deficit of $485.5 million. We may incur net losses in the future,
particularly as selling and marketing activities increase ahead of any expected revenue. Our ability to achieve and
sustain long-term profitability is largely dependent on our ability to successfully market and sell the CyberKnife and
TomoTherapy Systems, control our costs, and effectively manage our growth. We cannot assure you that we will be
able to achieve profitability and even if we do achieve profitability, we may not be able to sustain or increase
profitability on a quarterly or annual basis. In the event we fail to achieve profitability, our stock price could decline.

Our ability to achieve profitability also depends on our ability to maintain or increase our gross margins on

product sales and services. A number of factors may adversely impact such gross margins, including:

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

lower than expected manufacturing yields of high cost components leading to increased manufacturing costs;

low production volume which will result in high levels of overhead cost per unit of production;

our ability to recognize revenue from our sales and the timing of revenue recognition and revenue deferrals;

increased material or labor costs;

increased inventory costs and liabilities for excess inventory resulting from inventory held in excess of
forecasted demand;

increased service or warranty costs or the failure to reduce service or warranty costs;

increased price competition;

variation in the margins across products installed in a particular period;

changes to U.S. and foreign trade policies, including enactments of tariffs on goods imported into the U.S.
and any retaliatory tariffs imposed by other countries on U.S. goods, including our products; and

how well we execute on our strategic and operating plans.

If we are unable to maintain or increase our gross margins on product sales and service, our results of operations

could be adversely impacted, we may not achieve profitability and our stock price could decline.

27

We have outstanding indebtedness in the form of our 3.75% Convertible Notes, Revolving Credit Facility and
Term Loan and may incur other debt in the future, which may adversely affect our financial condition and future
financial results.

In August 2017, we issued $85.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes due
2022 (the “3.75% Convertible Notes”). As our debt matures, we anticipate having to expend significant resources to
either repay or refinance the 3.75% Convertible Notes. For example, in August 2017, in connection with the
issuance of the 3.75% Convertible Notes, we (i) exchanged approximately $47.0 million aggregate principal amount
of our then-outstanding 3.50% Convertible Senior Notes due 2018 and 3.50% Series A Convertible Senior Notes
due 2018 (collectively, the “Existing Notes”) for $53.0 million aggregate principal amount of 3.75% Convertible
Notes and (ii) repurchased approximately $28.0 million of Existing Notes. If we decide to refinance the 3.75%
Convertible Notes in the future, we may be required to do so on different or less favorable terms or we may be
unable to refinance the 3.75% Convertible Notes at all, both of which may adversely affect our financial condition.

In June 2017, we entered into a credit and security agreement that provided us with an initial revolving credit
facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) of $52.0 million, which was amended in December 2017 to reduce the
Revolving Credit Facility to $32.0 million. In December 2017, we also entered into a credit and security agreement
that provides for an initial term loan of $40.0 million with a second tranche of $20.0 million available for draw until
December 31, 2018 if specified conditions are met (the “Term Loan” and, together with the Revolving Credit
Facility, the “Credit Facilities”). In July 2018, we further amended the credit and security agreements with respect to
the Credit Facilities to provide for, among other things, adjustments to the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio. The credit
and security agreements with respect to the Credit Facilities were further amended in December 2018, to, among
other things, provide a mechanism for determining an alternative interest rate to replace LIBOR for the Credit
Facilities, allow the second tranche of the Term Loan to be drawn in two separate advances and extend the
availability of the second tranche of the Term Loan from December 31, 2018 until June 30, 2019, all subject to
certain specified conditions being met. A further amendment to the credit and security agreements for the Credit
Facilities was made in May 2019 to, among other things, decrease the applicable margin for the Credit Facilities,
extend the Commitment Expiry Date (as defined in the applicable credit and security agreement) to May 30, 2024,
increase the second tranche commitment under the Term Loan by $461,166 and consolidate both tranches of the
Term Loan into a single term loan.

As of June 30, 2019, we had total consolidated liabilities of approximately $388.3 million; including long-term

liability components of the 3.75% Convertible Notes of $72.7 million, and the Revolving Credit Facility of
$28.3 million and the Term Loan of $58.8 million. Our existing and future levels of indebtedness could have
important consequences to stockholders and note holders and may adversely affect our financial conditions and
future financial results by, among other things:

•

•

•

•

•

affecting our ability to satisfy our obligations under the 3.75% Convertible Notes and Credit Facilities;

requiring a substantial portion of our cash flows from operations to be dedicated to interest and principal
payments and may not be available for operations, working capital, capital expenditures, expansion,
acquisitions or general corporate or other purposes;

impairing our ability to obtain additional financing in the future;

limiting our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and industry; and

increasing our vulnerability to downturns in our business, our industry or the economy in general.

The credit and security agreements governing the Credit Facilities also includes certain restrictive covenants that

limit, among other things, our ability and our subsidiaries’ ability to (i) incur indebtedness, (ii) incur liens on their
property, (iii) pay dividends or make other distributions, (iv) sell their assets, (v) make certain loans or investments,
(vi) merge or consolidate, (vii) voluntarily repay or prepay certain indebtedness and (viii) enter into transactions
with affiliates, in each case subject to certain exceptions. In addition, the such agreements require us to meet certain
financial covenants, including a “Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio” and minimum consolidated “Net Revenue,” both as
defined in the applicable credit and security agreement governing the Credit Facilities. These restrictions could

28

adversely affect our ability to finance our future operations or capital needs, withstand a future downturn in our
business or the economy in general, engage in business activities, including future opportunities that may be in our
interest, and plan for or react to market conditions or otherwise execute our business strategies. Our ability to
comply with the covenants and other terms governing the Credit Facilities will depend in part on our future
operating performance. If we fail to comply with such covenants and terms, we may be in default and the maturity
of the related debt could be accelerated and become immediately due and payable. In addition, because our assets
are pledged as a security under the Credit Facilities, if we are not able to cure any default or repay outstanding
borrowings, our assets are subject to the risk of foreclosure by our lenders. From time to time to we may not be in
compliance with such covenants or other terms governing the Credit Facilities and we may be required to obtain
waivers or amendments to the applicable credit and security agreement from our lenders in order to maintain
compliance and there can be no certainty that any such waiver or amendment will be available, or what the cost of
such waiver or amendment, if obtained, would be. If we are unable to obtain necessary waivers and the debt under
such credit facility is accelerated, we would be required to obtain replacement financing at prevailing market rates.
Additionally, a default on indebtedness could result in a default under the terms of the indenture governing our
3.75% Convertible Notes. There is no guarantee that we would be able to satisfy our obligations if any of our
indebtedness is accelerated.

Our operating results, including our quarterly orders, revenues and margins fluctuate from quarter to quarter
and may be unpredictable, which may result in a decline in our stock price.

We have experienced and expect in the future to experience fluctuations in our operating results, including gross

orders, revenues and margins, from period to period. Drivers of orders include the introduction and timing of new
product or product enhancement announcements by us and our competitors, the timing of regulatory approvals,
changes in price by us and our competitors as well as changes or anticipated changes in third-party reimbursement
amounts or policies applicable to treatments using our products. The availability of economic stimulus packages or
other government funding, or reductions thereof, may also affect timing of customer purchases. Our products have a
high unit price and require significant capital expenditures by our customers. Accordingly, we experience long sales
and implementation cycles, which is of greater concern during a volatile economic environment where we have had
customers delay or cancel orders. The timing of when orders are placed, when installation, delivery or shipping, as
applicable, is accomplished and when revenue is recognized affect our quarterly results. Further, because of the high
unit price of the CyberKnife and TomoTherapy Systems and the relatively small number of units sold or installed
each quarter, each sale or installation of a CyberKnife or TomoTherapy System can represent a significant
percentage of our net orders, backlog or revenue for a particular quarter and shifts in sales or installation from one
quarter to another may have significant effects. For example, multi-system sales or sales involving negotiations with
integrated delivery networks involve additional complexities to the transaction and require a longer timeline to
finalize the sale, which make it more difficult to predict the quarter in which the sale will occur.

Once orders are received and booked into backlog, there is a risk that we may not recognize revenue in the near

term or at all. Factors that may affect whether these orders become revenue (or are cancelled or deemed aged-out
and reflected as a reduction in net orders) and the timing of revenue include:

•

•

•

•

•

•

economic or political instability in foreign countries;

delays in the customer obtaining or inability of a customer to obtain funding or financing;

delays in construction at the customer site and delays in installation;

delays in the customer obtaining or inability of such customer to obtain local or foreign regulatory approvals
such as certificates of need in certain states or Class A or Class B user licenses in China;

timing of when we are able to recognize revenue associated with sales of the CyberKnife and TomoTherapy
Systems, which varies depending upon the terms of the applicable sales and service contracts; and

the proportion of revenue attributable to orders placed by our distributors which may be more difficult to
forecast due to factors outside our control.

29

Our operating results may also be affected by a number of other factors some of which are outside of our control,

including:

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

the proportion of revenue attributable to our legacy service plans;

timing and level of expenditures associated with new product development activities;

regulatory requirements in some states for a certificate of need prior to the installation of a radiation device
or foreign regulatory approvals, such as Class A or Class B user licenses in China;

delays in shipment due, for example, to unanticipated construction delays at customer locations where our
products are to be installed, cancellations by customers, natural disasters or labor disturbances;

delays in our manufacturing processes or unexpected manufacturing difficulties;

the timing of the announcement, introduction and delivery of new products or product upgrades by us and by
our competitors;

timing and level of expenditures associated with expansion of sales and marketing activities such as trade
shows and our overall operations

the timing and level of expenditures associated with our financing activities;

the effects of foreign currency adjustments;

changes in accounting principles, such as those related to revenue recognition, or in the interpretation or the
application thereof; and

fluctuations in our gross margins and the factors that contribute to such fluctuations, as described in
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Because many of our operating expenses are based on anticipated sales and a high percentage of these expenses
are fixed for the short term, a small variation in the timing of revenue recognition can cause significant variations in
operating results from quarter to quarter. Our overall gross margins are impacted by a number of factors described in
our risk factor entitled “Our ability to achieve profitability depends in part on maintaining or increasing our gross
margins on product sales and services, which we may not be able to achieve.” If our financial results fall below the
expectation of securities analysts and investors, the trading price of our common stock would almost certainly
decline.

We report our orders and backlog on a quarterly and annual basis. Unlike revenues, orders and backlog are not
defined by U.S. GAAP, and are not within the scope of the audit conducted by our independent registered public
accounting firm. Also, for the reasons discussed in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations, our orders and backlog cannot necessarily be relied upon as accurate predictors of future
revenues. Order cancellation or significant delays in installation date will reduce our backlog and future revenues,
and we cannot predict if or when orders will mature into revenues. Particularly high levels of cancellations or
age-outs in one or more periods may cause our revenue and gross margins to decline in current or future periods and
will make it difficult to compare our operating results from quarter to quarter. We cannot assure you that our
backlog will result in revenue on a timely basis or at all, or that any cancelled contracts will be replaced.

30

Our industry is subject to intense competition and rapid technological change, which may result in products or
new tumor treatments that are superior to the CyberKnife and TomoTherapy Systems. If we are unable to
anticipate or keep pace with changes in the marketplace and the direction of technological innovation and
customer demands, our products may become obsolete or less useful and our operating results will suffer.

The medical device industry in general and the non-invasive cancer treatment field in particular are subject to

intense and increasing competition and rapidly evolving technologies. Because our products often have long
development and government approval cycles, we must anticipate changes in the marketplace and the direction of
technological innovation and customer demands. To compete successfully, we will need to continue to demonstrate
the advantages of our products and technologies over well-established alternative procedures, products and
technologies, and convince physicians and other healthcare decision makers of the advantages of our products and
technologies. Traditional surgery and other forms of minimally invasive procedures, brachytherapy, chemotherapy
or other drugs remain alternatives to the CyberKnife and TomoTherapy Systems.

We consider the competition for the CyberKnife and TomoTherapy Systems to be existing radiation therapy
systems, primarily using C-arm linacs, which are sold by large, well-capitalized companies with significantly greater
market share and resources than we have. Several of these competitors are also able to leverage their fixed sales,
service and other costs over multiple products or product lines. In particular, we compete with a number of existing
radiation therapy equipment companies, including Varian, Elekta, BrainLAB and ViewRay. Varian has been the
leader in the external beam radiation therapy market for many years and has the majority market share for radiation
therapy systems worldwide. In general, because of aging demographics and attractive market factors in oncology,
we believe that new competitors will enter the radiosurgery and radiation therapy markets in the years ahead. For
example, Varian announced in 2012 a new line of C-arm gantries, called the Edge systems, which Varian claims are
specifically designed for radiosurgery to compete with our CyberKnife Systems. In addition, some manufacturers of
conventional linac based radiation therapy systems, including Varian and Elekta, have products that can be used in
combination with body and/or head frames and image guidance systems to perform both radiosurgical and
radiotherapy procedures. In May 2017, Varian launched a new radiation therapy product called Halcyon which they
have positioned against our TomoTherapy product line.

Furthermore, many government, academic and business entities are investing substantial resources in research
and development of cancer treatments, including surgical approaches, radiation treatment, MRI-guided radiotherapy
systems, proton therapy systems, drug treatment, gene therapy (which is the treatment of disease by replacing,
manipulating, or supplementing nonfunctional genes), and other approaches. Successful developments that result in
new approaches for the treatment of cancer could reduce the attractiveness of our products or render them obsolete.

Our future success will depend in large part on our ability to establish and maintain a competitive position in
current and future technologies. Rapid technological development may render the CyberKnife and TomoTherapy
Systems and their technologies obsolete. Many of our competitors have or may have greater corporate, financial,
operational, sales and marketing resources, and more experience and resources in research and development than we
have. We cannot assure you that our competitors will not succeed in developing or marketing technologies or
products that are more effective or commercially attractive than our products or that would render our technologies
and products obsolete or less useful. We may not have the financial resources, technical expertise, marketing,
distribution or support capabilities to compete successfully in the future. In addition, some of our competitors may
compete by changing their pricing model or by lowering the price of their products. If we are unable to maintain or
increase our selling prices, our revenue and gross margins may suffer. Our success will depend in large part on our
ability to maintain a competitive position with our technologies.

31

International sales of our products account for a significant portion of our revenue, which exposes us to risks
inherent in international operations.

Our international sales, as a percentage of total revenue, have increased over the last five fiscal years. The
percentage of our revenue derived from sales outside of the Americas region was 68% in 2019, 64% in 2018, and
60% in 2017. To accommodate our international sales, we have invested significant financial and management
resources to develop an international infrastructure that will meet the needs of our customers. We anticipate that a
significant portion of our revenue will continue to be derived from sales of our products in foreign markets and that
the percentage of our overall revenue that is derived from these markets may continue to increase. This revenue and
related operations will therefore continue to be subject to the risks associated with international operations,
including:

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

economic or political instability in foreign countries, including the market volatility resulting from the
pending United Kingdom (the “UK”) exit from the European Union (the “EU”), or Brexit;

import delays;

changes in foreign regulatory laws governing, among other matters, the clearance, approval and sales of
medical devices;

the potential failure to comply with foreign regulatory requirements to sell and market our products;

longer payment cycles associated with many customers outside the United States;

inability of customers to obtain requisite government approvals, such as customers in China, including
customers of our recently announced joint venture, obtaining one of the limited number of Class A or Class
B user licenses available in order to purchase our products;

effective compliance with privacy, data protection and information security laws, such as the European
Union General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”);

adequate coverage and reimbursement for the CyberKnife and TomoTherapy treatment procedures outside
the United States;

failure of local laws to provide the same degree of protection against infringement of our intellectual
property;

protectionist laws and business practices that favor local competitors;

• U.S. trade and economic sanctions policies that are in effect from time to time and the possibility that foreign

countries may impose additional taxes, tariffs or other restrictions on foreign trade;

•

•

trade restrictions that are in effect from time to time, including U.S. prohibitions and restrictions on exports
of certain products and technologies to certain nations and customers;

the unfamiliarity of shipping companies and other logistics providers with U.S. export control laws, which
may lead to their unwillingness to ship or delays in shipping, our products to certain nations and customers
despite such shipments being permitted under such laws;

• U.S. relations with the governments of the foreign countries in which we operate;

•

•

•

the inability to obtain required export or import licenses or approvals;

risks relating to foreign currency, including fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates possibly causing
fewer sales due to the strengthening of the U.S. Dollar; and

contractual provisions governed by foreign laws.

32

Our inability to overcome these obstacles could harm our business, financial condition and operating results.
Even if we are successful in managing these obstacles, our partners internationally are subject to these same risks
and may not be able to manage these obstacles effectively.

In addition, future imposition of, or significant increases in, the level of customs duties, export quotas, regulatory

restrictions, trade restrictions, or trade prohibitions could materially harm our business.

Enhanced international tariffs, including tariffs imposed by the United States and China that affect our products
or components within our products, other trade barriers or a global trade war could increase our costs and
materially and adversely affect our business operations and financial condition.

Our global business could be negatively affected by trade barriers and other governmental protectionist measures,
any of which can be imposed suddenly and unpredictably. There is currently significant uncertainty about the future
relationship between the U.S. and various other countries, most significantly China, with respect to trade policies,
treaties, government regulations and tariffs.

Since the beginning of 2018, there has been increasing public threats and, in some cases, legislative or executive
action, from U.S. and foreign leaders regarding instituting tariffs against foreign imports of certain materials. During
the last half of calendar year 2018, the federal government imposed a series of tariffs ranging from 10% to 25% on a
variety of imports from China. These tariffs affect certain components, including the linear accelerator for our
CyberKnife Systems, which we manufacture in China and import into the U.S., as well as other components that we
import into the U.S. from our suppliers. China has responded to these tariffs with retaliatory tariffs ranging from 5%
to 25% on a wide range of products from the U.S., which include certain of our products. Higher duties on existing
tariffs and further rounds of tariffs have been announced or threatened by the U.S. and Chinese leaders.
Additionally, the U.S. has threatened to impose tariffs on goods imported from other countries, which could also
impact our or our customers’ operations. If these tariffs continue, if additional tariffs are placed on certain of our
components or products, or if any related counter-measures are taken by China, the U.S. or other countries, our
business, financial condition and results of operations may be materially harmed. The imposition of tariffs could
also increase our costs and require us to raise prices on our products, which may negatively impact the demand for
our products in the affected market. If we are not successful in offsetting the impact of any such tariffs, our revenue,
gross margins and operating results may be adversely affected.

These tariffs are subject to a number of uncertainties as they are implemented, including future adjustments and
changes. The ultimate reaction of other countries and the impact of these tariffs or other actions on the U.S., China,
the global economy and our business, financial condition and results of operations, cannot be predicted at this time,
nor can we predict the impact of any other developments with respect to global trade. Further, the imposition of
additional tariffs by the U.S. could result in the adoption of additional tariffs by China and other countries, as well as
further retaliatory actions by any affected country. Any resulting trade war could negatively impact the global
market for medical devices, including radiation therapy devices, and could have a significant adverse effect on our
business. These developments may have a material adverse effect on global economic conditions and the stability of
global financial markets, and they may significantly reduce global trade and, in particular, trade between China and
the U.S. Any of these factors could depress economic activity, restrict our access to customers and have a material
adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We face risks related to the current global economic environment, which could adversely affect our business,
financial condition and results of operations by, among other things, delaying or preventing our customers from
obtaining financing to purchase the CyberKnife and TomoTherapy Systems and implement the required facilities
to house our systems.

Our business and results of operations are materially affected by conditions in the global markets and the

economy generally. Concerns over the economic stability, the level of U.S. national debt, currency fluctuations and
volatility, the rate of growth of Japan, China, and other Asian economies, unemployment, the availability and cost of
credit, inflation levels, trade relations, energy costs and geopolitical uncertainty have contributed to increased
volatility and diminished expectations for the economy and the markets.

33

Further, the U.S. federal government has called for, or enacted, substantial changes to healthcare, trade, fiscal,
and tax policies, which may include changes to existing trade agreements and may have a significant impact on our
operations. For example, the current administration has initiated the imposition of tariffs on certain foreign products,
including from China, that have resulted in and may result in future retaliatory tariffs on U.S. goods and products.
We cannot predict the impact, if any, that these changes could have on our business. If economic conditions worsen
or new legislation is passed related to the healthcare system, trade, fiscal or tax policies, customer demand may not
materialize to levels we require to achieve our anticipated financial results, which could have a material adverse
effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Additionally, uncertain credit markets and concerns regarding the availability of credit could impact consumer
and customer demand for our products, as well as our ability to manage normal commercial relationships with our
customers, suppliers and creditors, including financial institutions. If the current situation continues to deteriorate or
does not improve, our business could be negatively affected by factors such as reduced demand for our products
resulting from a slow-down or volatility in the general economy, supplier or customer disruptions and/or temporary
interruptions in our ability to conduct day-to-day transactions through our financial intermediaries involving the
payment to or collection of funds from our customers, vendors and suppliers. For example, in the United States,
some of our customers have been delayed in obtaining, or have not been able to obtain, necessary financing for their
purchases of the CyberKnife or TomoTherapy Systems. In addition, some of our customers have been delayed in
obtaining, or have not been able to obtain, necessary financing for the construction or renovation of facilities to
house CyberKnife or TomoTherapy Systems, the cost of which can be substantial. These delays have in some
instances led to our customers postponing the shipment and installation of previously ordered systems or cancelling
their system orders, and may cause other customers to postpone their system installation or to cancel their
agreements with us. An increase in delays and order cancellations of this nature would adversely affect our product
sales, backlog and revenues, and therefore harm our business and results of operations. In addition, the recent
approval by voters in the U.K. of a referendum to leave the EU (often referred to as Brexit), and the ongoing
uncertainty regarding the timing and terms of Brexit, has caused, and may continue to cause, uncertainty in the
global markets. The risks related to Brexit are discussed in more detail in our risk factor entitled “The decision of the
United Kingdom to withdraw from the European Union may have a negative effect on global economic conditions,
financial markets and our operations.”

The decision of the United Kingdom to withdraw from the European Union may have a negative effect on global
economic conditions, financial markets and our operations.

In June 2016, a majority of voters in the UK voted in favor of Brexit in a national referendum. As of the date of
this filing, the British Parliament has not agreed upon the terms of the withdrawal. On April 10, 2019, the leaders of
the other member countries of the European Union agreed to extend the deadline for Brexit until October 31, 2019.
The referendum and ongoing negotiations have created significant uncertainty about the future relationship between
the UK and the EU.

The pending implementation of Brexit has caused, and may continue to cause, uncertainty in the global markets.

The effects of Brexit will also depend on any agreements the UK reaches to retain access to EU markets either
during a transitional period or more permanently. There is significant uncertainty about the future relationship
between the UK and the EU, including with respect to the laws and regulations that will apply as the UK determines
which EU laws to replace or replicate in the event of a withdrawal, including those governing manufacturing, labor,
environmental, data protection/privacy, competition, medical sales and advertising and other matters applicable to
the medical device industry. If the UK leaves the EU with no agreement, it will likely have an adverse impact on
labor and trade and will create further short-term currency volatility. In the absence of a future trade deal, the UK’s
trade with the EU and the rest of the world would be subject to tariffs and duties set by the World Trade
Organization, which could result in higher importation costs for our products. In addition, the movement of goods
between the UK and the remaining member states of the EU will be subject to additional inspections and
documentation checks, leading to possible delays at ports of entry and departure. Moreover, currency volatility
could drive a weaker pound which could result in a decrease in the profitability of our sales in the UK. Any
adjustments we make to our business and operations as a result of Brexit could result in significant expense and take
significant time to complete.

While we have not experienced any material financial impact from Brexit on sales within the UK to date, we
cannot predict its future implications. If implemented, Brexit will take some period of time to complete and could
result in changes that impact our business, including potentially requiring us to obtain new registrations for our
products that are sold into the UK. Any impact from Brexit on our business and operations over the long term will
depend, in part, on the outcome of tariff, tax treaties, trade, regulatory and other negotiations the UK conducts. We
continue to monitor and review the impact of any resulting changes to EU or UK law that could affect our
operations.

34

If we encounter manufacturing problems, or if our manufacturing facilities do not continue to meet federal, state
or foreign manufacturing standards, we may be required to temporarily cease all or part of our manufacturing
operations, which would result in delays and lost revenue.

The CyberKnife and TomoTherapy Systems are complex and require the integration of a number of components
from several sources of supply. We must manufacture and assemble these complex systems in commercial quantities
in compliance with regulatory requirements and at an acceptable cost. Our linear accelerator components are
extremely complex devices and require significant expertise to manufacture, and we may encounter difficulties in
scaling up production of the CyberKnife or TomoTherapy Systems, including problems with quality control and
assurance, component supply shortages, increased costs, shortages of qualified personnel, the long lead time
required to develop additional radiation-shielded facilities for purposes of testing our products and/or difficulties
associated with compliance with local, state, federal and foreign regulatory requirements. If our manufacturing
capacity does not keep pace with product demand, we will not be able to fulfill orders in a timely manner, which in
turn may have a negative effect on our financial results and overall business. Conversely, if demand for our products
decreases, the fixed costs associated with excess manufacturing capacity may adversely affect our financial results.

Our manufacturing processes and the manufacturing processes of our third-party suppliers are required to comply

with the FDA’s QSR for any products imported into, or sold within, the U.S. The QSR is a complex regulatory
scheme that covers the methods and documentation of the design, testing, production process and controls,
manufacturing, labeling, quality assurance, packaging, storage and shipping of our products. Furthermore, we are
required to verify that our suppliers maintain facilities, procedures and operations that comply with our quality
requirements. We are also subject to state licensing and other requirements and licenses applicable to manufacturers
of medical devices, and we are required to comply with ISO, quality system standards in order to produce products
for sale in Europe and Canada, as well as various other foreign laws and regulations. Because our manufacturing
processes include the production of diagnostic and therapeutic X-ray equipment and laser equipment, we are subject
to the electronic product radiation control provisions of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, which requires
that we file reports with the FDA, applicable states and our customers regarding the distribution, manufacturing and
installation of these types of equipment. The FDA enforces the QSR and the electronic product radiation control
provisions through periodic inspections, some of which may be unannounced. We have been, and anticipate in the
future being subject to such inspections. FDA inspections usually occur every two to three years. During such
inspections, the FDA may issue Inspectional Observations on Form FDA 483, listing instances where the
manufacturer has failed to comply with applicable regulations and procedures, or warning letters.

If a manufacturer does not adequately address the observations, the FDA may take enforcement action against the

manufacturer, including the imposition of fines, restriction of the ability to export product, total shutdown of
production facilities and criminal prosecution. If we or a third-party supplier receive a Form FDA 483 with material
or major observations that are not promptly corrected, fail to pass a QSR inspection, or fail to comply with these,
ISO and other applicable regulatory requirements, our operations could be disrupted and our ability to generate sales
could be delayed. Our failure to take prompt and satisfactory corrective action in response to an adverse inspection
or our failure to comply with applicable standards could result in enforcement actions, including a public warning
letter, a shutdown of our manufacturing operations, a recall of our products, civil or criminal penalties, or other
sanctions, which would cause our sales and business to suffer. In addition, because some foreign regulatory
approvals are based on approvals or clearances from the FDA, any failure to comply with FDA requirements may
also disrupt our sales of products in other countries. We cannot assure you that the FDA or other governmental
authorities would agree with our interpretation of applicable regulatory requirements or that we or our third-party
suppliers have in all instances fully complied with all applicable requirements. If any of these events occur, our
reputation could be harmed, we could lose customers and there could be a material adverse effect on our business,
financial condition and results of operations.

If we cannot achieve the required level and quality of production, we may need to outsource production or rely

on licensing and other arrangements with third parties who possess sufficient manufacturing facilities and
capabilities in compliance with regulatory requirements. Even if we could outsource needed production or enter into
licensing or other third-party arrangements, this could reduce our gross margin and expose us to the risks inherent in
relying on others. We also cannot assure you that our suppliers will deliver an adequate supply of required
components on a timely basis or that they will adequately comply with the QSR. Failure to obtain these components
on a timely basis would disrupt our manufacturing processes and increase our costs, which would harm our
operating results.

If we are unable to develop new products or enhance existing products to meet our customers’ needs and compete
favorably in the market, we may be unable to attract or retain customers.

Our success depends on the successful development, regulatory clearance or approval, introduction and

commercialization of new generations of products, treatment systems, and enhancements to and/or simplification of
existing products that will meet our customers’ needs provide novel features and compete favorably in the market.
The CyberKnife and TomoTherapy Systems, which are currently our principal products, are technologically
complex and must keep pace with, among other things, the products of our competitors and new technologies. We
are making significant investments in long-term growth initiatives. Such initiatives require significant capital
commitments, involvement of senior management and other investments on our part, which we may be unable to
recover. Our timeline for the development of new products or enhancements may not be achieved and price and
profitability targets may not prove feasible. Commercialization of new products may prove challenging, and we may
be required to invest more time and money than expected to successfully introduce them. Once introduced, new
products may adversely impact orders and sales of our existing products, or make them less desirable or even
obsolete. Compliance with regulations, competitive alternatives, and shifting market preferences may also impact
the successful implementation of new products or enhancements. Our inability to develop, gain regulatory approval
for or supply competitive products to the market as quickly and effectively as our competitors could limit market
acceptance of our products and reduce our sales.

Our ability to successfully develop and introduce new products, treatment systems and product enhancements and

simplifications, and the revenues and costs associated with these efforts, will be affected by our ability to:

•

•

•

•

properly identify and address customer needs;

prove feasibility of new products in a timely manner;

educate physicians about the use of new products and procedures;

comply with internal quality assurance systems and processes timely and efficiently;

• manage the timing and cost of obtaining regulatory approvals or clearances;

•

•

accurately predict and control costs associated with inventory overruns caused by phase-in of new products
and phase-out of old products;

price new products competitively;

• manufacture and deliver our products in sufficient volumes on time and accurately predict and control costs

associated with manufacturing, installation, warranty and maintenance of the products;

• meet our product development plan and launch timelines;

•

improve manufacturing yields of components; and

• manage customer demands for retrofits of both old and new products.

Even if customers accept new products or product enhancements, the revenues from these products may not be

sufficient to offset the significant costs associated with making them available to customers.

We cannot be sure that we will be able to successfully develop, obtain regulatory approval or clearance for,

manufacture or introduce new products, treatment systems or enhancements, the roll-out of which involves
compliance with complex quality assurance processes, including QSR. Failure to obtain regulatory approval or
clearance for our products or to complete these processes in a timely and efficient manner could result in delays that
could affect our ability to attract and retain customers, or could cause customers to delay or cancel orders, causing
our backlog, revenues and operating results to suffer.

36

If we do not effectively manage our growth, our business may be significantly harmed.

In order to implement our business strategy, we expect continued growth in our infrastructure requirements,
particularly as we expand into new and growing markets as well as expand our manufacturing capacities and sales
and marketing capabilities. To manage our growth, we must expand our facilities, augment our management,
operational and financial systems, hire and train additional qualified personnel, scale-up our manufacturing capacity
and expand our marketing and distribution capabilities. Our manufacturing, assembly and installation process is
complex and occurs over many months and we must effectively scale this entire process to satisfy customer
expectations and changes in demand. Further, to accommodate our growth and compete effectively, we will be
required to make improvements to our business operations. We cannot be certain that our personnel, systems,
procedures and internal controls will be adequate to support our future operations and any expansion of our systems
and infrastructure may require us to commit significant additional financial, operational and management resources.
If we cannot manage our growth effectively, our business will suffer.

We could become subject to product liability claims, product recalls, other field actions and warranty claims that
could be expensive, divert management’s attention and harm our business.

Our business exposes us to potential liability risks that are inherent in the manufacturing, marketing, sale,

installation, servicing, and support of medical device products. We may be held liable if a CyberKnife or
TomoTherapy System or our Precision Treatment Planning or iDMS Data Management System software causes
injury or death or is found otherwise unsuitable during usage. Our products incorporate sophisticated components
and computer software. Complex software can contain errors, particularly when first introduced. In addition, new
products or enhancements may contain undetected errors or performance problems that, despite testing, are
discovered only after installation. Because our products are designed to be used to perform complex surgical and
therapeutic procedures involving delivery of radiation to the body, defects, even if small, could result in a number of
complications, some of which could be serious and could harm or kill patients. Any alleged weaknesses in physician
training and services associated with our products may result in unsatisfactory patient outcomes and product liability
lawsuits. It is also possible that defects in the design, manufacture or labeling of our products might necessitate a
product recall or other field corrective action, which may result in warranty claims beyond our expectations and may
harm our reputation and create adverse publicity. A product liability claim, regardless of its merit or eventual
outcome, could result in significant legal defense costs that may not be covered by insurance and be time-consuming
to defend. We may also be subject to claims for personal injury, property damage or economic loss related to, or
resulting from, any errors or defects in our products, or the installation, servicing and support of our products, or any
professional services rendered in conjunction with our products. Adverse publicity related to any product liability
actions may cause patients to be less receptive to radiation therapy generally or our products specifically and could
also result in additional regulation that could adversely affect our ability to promote, manufacture and sell our
products. The coverage limits of our insurance policies may not be adequate to cover future claims. If sales of our
products increase or we suffer future product liability claims, we may be unable to maintain product liability
insurance in the future at satisfactory rates or with adequate amounts of coverage. A product liability claim, any
product recalls or other field actions or excessive warranty claims, whether arising from defects in design or
manufacture or labeling, could negatively affect our sales or require a change in the design, manufacturing process
or the indications for which our systems or software may be used, any of which could harm our reputation and
business and result in a decline in revenue.

In addition, if a product we designed or manufactured is defective, whether because of design or manufacturing,

supplied parts, or labeling defects, improper use of the product or other reasons, we may be required to notify
regulatory authorities and/or to recall the product, possibly at our expense. We have voluntarily initiated recalls and
product corrections in the past, including one recall for the TomoTherapy System in fiscal year 2018 that has been
requested for closure with the FDA. In fiscal year 2019, we have voluntarily opened three recalls involving the
CyberKnife System. As of June 30, 2019, one such recall was closed, another has been requested for closure and is
under review with FDA and one is still proceeding. We are committed to the safety and precision of our products
and while no serious adverse health consequences have been reported in connection with these recalls and the costs
associated with each such recall were not material, we cannot ensure that the FDA will not require that we take
additional actions to address problems that resulted in previous recalls or that similar or more significant product
recalls will not occur in the future. A required notification of a correction or removal to a regulatory authority or
recall could result in an investigation by regulatory authorities of our products, which could in turn result in required
recalls, restrictions on the sale of the products or other civil or criminal penalties. The adverse publicity resulting
from any of these actions could cause customers to review and potentially terminate their relationships with us.
These investigations, corrections or recalls, especially if accompanied by unfavorable publicity, patient injury or
termination of customer contracts, could result in incurring substantial costs, losing revenues and damaging our
reputation, each of which would harm our business.

37

Our reliance on single-source suppliers for critical components of the CyberKnife and TomoTherapy Systems
could harm our ability to meet demand for our products in a timely and cost effective manner.

We currently depend on single-source suppliers for some of the critical components necessary to assemble the
CyberKnife and TomoTherapy Systems, including, with respect to the CyberKnife System, the robot, couch and
magnetron and, with respect to the TomoTherapy Systems, the ring gantry, couch, solid state modulator and
magnetron. If any single-source supplier was to cease delivering components to us or fail to provide the components
to our specifications and on a timely basis, we might be required to find alternative sources for these components.
The disruption or termination of the supply of components could cause a significant increase in the costs of these
components, which could affect our results of operations. In some cases, alternative suppliers may be located in the
same geographic area as existing suppliers, and are thus subject to the same economic, political and geographic
factors that may affect existing suppliers to meet our demand. We may have difficulty or be unable to find
alternative sources for these components. As a result, we may be unable to meet the demand for the CyberKnife or
TomoTherapy Systems, which could harm our ability to generate revenue and damage our reputation. Even if we do
find alternate suppliers, we will be required to qualify any such alternate suppliers and we would likely experience a
lengthy delay in our manufacturing processes or a cessation in production, which would result in delays of shipment
to end users. We cannot assure you that our single-source suppliers will be able or willing to meet our future
demands.

We generally do not maintain large volumes of inventory, which makes us even more susceptible to harm if a
single-source supplier fails to deliver components on a timely basis. Furthermore, if we are required to change the
manufacturer of a critical component of the CyberKnife or TomoTherapy Systems, we will be required to verify that
the new manufacturer maintains facilities, procedures and operations that comply with our quality and applicable
regulatory requirements and guidelines, which could further impede our ability to manufacture our products in a
timely manner. If the change in manufacturer results in a significant change to the product, a new 510(k) clearance
would be necessary, which would likely cause substantial delays. The disruption or termination of the supply of key
components for the CyberKnife or TomoTherapy Systems could harm our ability to manufacture our products in a
timely manner or within budget, harm our ability to generate revenue, lead to customer dissatisfaction and adversely
affect our reputation and results of operations.

We depend on key employees, the loss of whom would adversely affect our business. If we fail to attract and
retain employees with the expertise required for our business, we may be unable to continue to grow our
business.

We are highly dependent on the members of our senior management, sales, marketing, operations and research

and development staff. Our future success will depend in part on our ability to retain our key employees and to
identify, hire and retain additional personnel. Competition for qualified personnel in the medical device industry is
intense and finding and retaining qualified personnel with experience in our industry is very difficult. We believe
there are only a limited number of individuals with the requisite skills to serve in many of our key positions and we
face significant competition for key personnel and other employees, particularly in the San Francisco Bay Area
where our headquarters is located, from other medical equipment and software manufacturers, technology
companies, universities and research institutions. As a result, we may not be able to retain our existing employees or
hire new employees quickly enough to meet our needs. Moreover, we have in the past conducted reductions in force
in order to optimize our organizational structure and reduce costs, and certain senior personnel have also departed
for various reasons. At the same time, we may face high turnover, requiring us to expend time and resources to
source, train and integrate new employees. The challenging markets in which we compete for talent may also require
us to invest significant amounts of cash and equity to attract and retain employees. In addition, a significant portion
of our compensation to our key employees is in the form of stock related grants. A prolonged depression in our stock
price could make it difficult for us to retain our key and other employees and recruit additional qualified personnel
and we may have to pay additional compensation to employees to incentivize them to join or stay with us. We do
not maintain, and do not currently intend to obtain, key employee life insurance on any of our personnel. If we fail
to hire and retain key personnel and other employees, we may be unable to continue to grow our business
successfully.

38

Disruption of critical information technology systems, infrastructure and data could harm our business and
financial condition.

Information technology helps us operate more efficiently, interface with customers, maintain financial accuracy

and efficiency and accurately produce our financial statements. If we do not allocate and effectively manage the
resources necessary to build, sustain and secure the proper technology infrastructure, we could be subject to
transaction errors, processing inefficiencies, the loss of customers, business disruptions or the loss of or damage to
intellectual property through a security breach. Such security breaches could expose us to a risk of loss of
information, litigation and possible liability to employees, customers and regulatory authorities. In addition, we have
moved some of our data and information to a cloud computing system, where applications and data are hosted,
accessed and processed through a third-party provider over a broadband internet connection. In a cloud computing
environment, we could be subject to outages and security breaches by the third-party service provider. If our data
management systems do not effectively collect, store, process and report relevant data for the operation of our
business, whether due to equipment malfunction or constraints, software deficiencies, computer viruses, security
breaches, catastrophic events or human error, our ability to effectively plan, forecast and execute our business plan
and comply with applicable laws and regulations will be impaired, perhaps materially. Any such impairment could
materially and adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and the timeliness with
which we internally and externally report our operating results. As a result, our information systems require an
ongoing commitment of significant resources to maintain, protect, and enhance existing systems and develop new
systems to keep pace with continuing changes in information processing technology, evolving legal and regulatory
standards, the increasing need to protect patient and customer information, and the information technology needs
associated with our changing products and services. There can be no assurance that our process of consolidating the
number of systems we operate, upgrading and expanding our information systems capabilities, continuing to build
security into the design of our products, protecting and enhancing our systems and developing new systems to keep
pace with continuing changes in information processing technology will be successful or that additional systems
issues will not arise in the future.

In addition, data privacy breaches from errors, malfeasance or misconduct by employees, contractors or others
with permitted access to our systems may pose a risk that sensitive data, including individually identifiable data,
may be exposed to unauthorized person or to the public and compromise our security systems. There can be no
assurance that any efforts we make to prevent against such privacy breaches will prevent breakdowns or breaches in
our systems that could adversely affect our business. Third-parties may also attempt to fraudulently induce
employees or customers into disclosing user names, passwords or other sensitive information, which may in turn be
used to access our information technology systems. For example, our employees have received “phishing” e-mails
attempting to induce them to divulge sensitive information. In addition, unauthorized persons may attempt to hack
into our products or systems to obtain personal data relating to patients or employees, our confidential or proprietary
information or confidential information we hold on behalf of third-parties, which, if successful, could pose a risk of
loss of data, risk to patient safety and risk of product recall. As the techniques used to obtain unauthorized access to
our systems change frequently and may be difficult to detect, we may not be able to anticipate and prevent these
intrusions or mitigate them when they occur. Moreover, we manufacture and sell hardware and software products
that allow our customers to store confidential information about their patients. Both types of products are often
connected to and reside within our customers’ information technology infrastructures. We do not have measures to
secure our customers’ equipment or any information stored in our customers’ systems or at their locations, which is
the responsibility of our customers. While we have implemented security measures to protect our hardware and
software products from unauthorized access, these measures may not be effective in securing these products,
particularly since techniques used to obtain unauthorized access, or to sabotage systems, change frequently and
generally are not recognized until launched against a target. A breach of network security and systems or other
events that cause the loss or public disclosure of, or access by third-parties to, sensitive information stored by us or
our customers could have serious negative consequences for our business, including loss of information, indemnity
obligations, possible fines, penalties and damages, reduced demand for our products and services, an unwillingness
of our customers to use our products or services, harm to our reputation and brand, and time-consuming and
expensive litigation, any of which could have an adverse effect on our financial results.

39

Any actual or perceived failure by us to comply with legal or regulatory requirements related to privacy or data
security in one or multiple jurisdictions could result in proceedings, actions or penalties against us.

There are numerous state, federal and foreign laws, regulations, decisions and directives regarding privacy and
the collection, storage, transmission, use, processing, disclosure and protection of personally identifiable information
and other personal, customer or other data, the scope of which is continually evolving and subject to differing
interpretations. Our worldwide operations mean that we are subject to data protection and cyber security laws and
regulations in many jurisdictions, and that some of the data we process, store and transmit may be transmitted across
countries. For example, in the U.S., Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (“HIPAA”) privacy and
security rules require us as a business associate to protect the confidentiality of patient health information, and the
Federal Trade Commission has begun to assert authority over protection of privacy and the use of cyber security in
information systems. In Europe, the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”), which went into effect in May
2018, imposes several stringent requirements for controllers and processors of personal data that will increase our
obligations and, in the event of violations, may impose significant fines of up to the greater of 4% of worldwide
annual revenue or €20 million. In the UK, a Data Protection Bill that substantially implements the GDPR became
law in May 2018. China and Russia have also passed laws that require individually identifiable data on their citizens
to be maintained on local servers and that may restrict transfer or processing of that data. Further, in June 2018,
California passed the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (“CCPA”), which will become effective on
January 1, 2020. CCPA imposes stringent data privacy and data protection requirements for the data of California
residents, and provides for penalties for noncompliance of up to $7,500 per violation. The restrictions imposed by
these laws and regulations may limit the use and adoption of our products, reduce overall demand for our products,
require us to modify our data handling practices and impose additional costs and burdens. In addition, U.S. and
international laws that have been applied to protect user privacy (including laws regarding unfair and deceptive
practices in the U.S. and GDPR in the EU) may be subject to evolving interpretations or applications in light of
privacy developments. As a result, we may be subject to significant consequences, including penalties and fines, for
any failure to comply with such laws, regulations and directives.

Data protection legislation around the world is comprehensive and complex and there has been a recent trend
towards more stringent enforcement of requirements regarding protection and confidentiality of personal data. The
restrictions imposed by such laws and regulations may limit the use and adoption of our products and services,
reduce overall demand for our products and services, require us to modify our data handling practices, and impose
additional costs and burdens. With increasing enforcement of privacy, data protection and cyber security laws and
regulations, there is no guarantee that we will not be subject to enforcement actions by governmental bodies or that
our costs of compliance will not increase significantly. Enforcement actions can be costly and interrupt regular
operations of our business. In addition, there has been a developing trend of civil lawsuits and class actions relating
to breaches of consumer data held by large companies. While we have not been named in any such suits, if a
substantial breach or loss of data from our records were to occur, we could become a target of such litigation. Any
inability to adequately address privacy and security concerns, even if unfounded, or comply with applicable laws,
regulations, policies, industry standards, contractual obligations, or other legal obligations could result in additional
cost and liability to us, damage our reputation, inhibit sales, and adversely affect our business. Our failure to comply
with applicable laws and regulations could result in enforcement action against us, including fines and public
censure, claims for damages by customers and other affected individuals, damage to our reputation and loss of
goodwill (both in relation to existing customers and prospective customers), any of which could harm our business,
results of operations and financial condition.

If third-party payors do not provide sufficient coverage and reimbursement to healthcare providers for use of the
CyberKnife and TomoTherapy Systems, demand for our products and our revenue could be adversely affected.

Our customers rely significantly on reimbursement from public and private third-party payors for CyberKnife
and TomoTherapy systems procedures. Our ability to commercialize our products successfully and increase market
acceptance of our products will depend in significant part on the extent to which public and private third-party
payors provide adequate coverage and reimbursement for procedures that are performed with our products.
Third-party payors may establish or change the reimbursement for medical products and services that could
significantly influence the purchase of medical products and services. If reimbursement policies or other cost
containment measures are instituted in a manner that significantly reduces the coverage or payment for the
procedures that are performed with our products, our revenue may decline, our existing customers may not continue
using our products or may decrease their use of our products, and we may have difficulty obtaining new customers.
Such actions would likely have a material adverse effect on our operating results.

40

CMS reviews reimbursement rates annually and may implement significant changes in future years, which could

discourage existing and potential customers from purchasing or using our products. Further, outside of the U.S.,
reimbursement practices vary significantly by country. Market acceptance of our products may depend on the
availability and level of coverage and reimbursement in any country within a particular time.

The safety and efficacy of our products for certain uses is not yet supported by long-term clinical data, and our
products may therefore prove to be less safe and effective than initially thought.

Although we believe that the CyberKnife and TomoTherapy Systems have advantages over competing products
and technologies, we do not have sufficient clinical data demonstrating these advantages for all tumor indications. In
addition, we have only limited five-year patient survival rate data, which is a common long-term measure of clinical
effectiveness in cancer treatment. We also have limited clinical data directly comparing the effectiveness of the
CyberKnife System to other competing systems. Future patient studies or clinical experience may indicate that
treatment with the CyberKnife System does not improve patient survival or outcomes.

Likewise, because the TomoTherapy Systems have only been on the market since 2003, we have limited
complication or patient survival rate data with respect to treatment using the systems. In addition, while the
effectiveness of radiation therapy is well understood, there is a growing but still limited number of peer-reviewed
medical journal publications regarding the efficacy of highly conformal treatment such as that delivered by the
TomoTherapy Systems. If future patient studies or clinical experience do not support our beliefs that the
TomoTherapy Systems offer a more advantageous treatment for a wide variety of cancer types, use of the systems
could fail to increase or could decrease, and our business would therefore be adversely affected.

Such results could reduce the rate of reimbursement by both public and private third-party payors for procedures

that are performed with our products, slow the adoption of our products by physicians, significantly reduce our
ability to achieve expected revenues and could prevent us from becoming profitable. In addition, if future results and
experience indicate that our products cause unexpected or serious complications or other unforeseen negative
effects, the FDA could rescind our clearances, our reputation with physicians, patients and others may suffer and we
could be subject to significant legal liability.

We rely on third parties to perform spare parts shipping and other logistics functions on our behalf. A failure or
disruption at our logistics providers would adversely impact our business.

Customer service is a critical element of our sales strategy. Third-party logistics providers store most of our spare
parts inventory in depots around the world and perform a significant portion of our spare parts logistics and shipping
activities. If any of our logistics providers terminates its relationship with us, suffers an interruption in its business,
or experiences delays, disruptions or quality control problems in its operations, or we have to change and qualify
alternative logistics providers for our spare parts, shipments of spare parts to our customers may be delayed and our
reputation, business, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected.

Third parties may claim we are infringing their intellectual property, and we could suffer significant litigation or
licensing expenses or be prevented from selling our product.

The medical device industry is characterized by a substantial amount of litigation over patent and other

intellectual property rights. In particular, the field of radiation treatment of cancer is well established and crowded
with the intellectual property of competitors and others. We also expect that other participants will enter the field. A
number of companies in our market, as well as universities and research institutions, have issued patents and have
filed patent applications which relate to the use of radiation therapy and stereotactic radiosurgery to treat cancerous
and benign tumors.

Determining whether a product infringes a patent involves complex legal and factual issues, and the outcome of

patent litigation actions is often uncertain. We have not conducted an extensive search of patents issued to third
parties, and no assurance can be given that third-party patents containing claims covering our products, parts of our
products, technology or methods do not exist, have not been filed, or could not be filed or issued. Because of the
number of patents issued and patent applications filed in our technical areas or fields, our competitors or other third
parties may assert that our products and the methods we employ in the use of our products are covered by U.S. or
foreign patents held by them.

41

In addition, because patent applications can take many years to issue and because publication schedules for
pending applications vary by jurisdiction, there may be applications now pending of which we are unaware, and
which may result in issued patents which our current or future products infringe. Also, because the claims of
published patent applications can change between publication and patent grant, there may be published patent
applications that may ultimately issue with claims that we infringe. There could also be existing patents that one or
more of our products or parts may infringe and of which we are unaware. As the number of competitors in the
market for less invasive cancer treatment alternatives grows, and as the number of patents issued in this area grows,
the possibility of patent infringement claims against us increases. Regardless of the merit of infringement claims,
they can be time-consuming and result in costly litigation and diversion of technical and management personnel.
Some of our competitors may be able to sustain the costs of complex patent litigation more effectively than we can
because they have substantially greater resources. In addition, any uncertainties resulting from the initiation and
continuation of any litigation could have a material adverse effect on our ability to raise funds, if necessary, to
continue our operations.

In the event that we become subject to a patent infringement or other intellectual property lawsuit and if the

relevant patents or other intellectual property were upheld as valid and enforceable and we were found to infringe or
violate the terms of a license to which we are a party, we could be prevented from selling our products unless we
obtain a license or are able to redesign the product to avoid infringement. Required licenses may not be made
available to us on acceptable terms or at all. If we are unable to obtain a license or successfully redesign our system,
we might be prevented from selling such system. If there is an allegation or determination that we have infringed the
intellectual property rights of a competitor or other person, we may be required to pay damages, pay ongoing
royalties or otherwise settle such matter upon terms that are unfavorable to us. In these circumstances, we may be
unable to sell our products at competitive prices or at all, and our business and operating results could be harmed.

We may be subject to claims that our employees have wrongfully used or disclosed alleged trade secrets of their
former employers.

As is common in the medical device industry, we employ individuals who were previously employed at other
medical equipment or biotechnology companies, including our competitors or potential competitors. We may be
subject to claims that we or those employees have inadvertently or otherwise used or disclosed trade secrets or other
proprietary information of their former employers. Litigation may be necessary to defend against these claims. If we
fail in defending any such claims, in addition to paying monetary damages, we may lose valuable intellectual
property rights or personnel. Even if we are successful in defending against claims of this nature, litigation could
result in substantial costs and be a distraction to management.

It is difficult and costly to protect our intellectual property and our proprietary technologies and we may not be
able to ensure their protection.

Our success depends significantly on our ability to obtain, maintain and protect our proprietary rights to the

technologies used in our products. Patents and other proprietary rights provide uncertain protections, and we may be
unable to protect our intellectual property. For example, we may be unsuccessful in defending our patents and other
proprietary rights against third-party challenges. As key patents expire, our ability to prevent competitors from
copying our technology may be limited. In addition, patent reform legislation or precedent could increase the
uncertainties and costs surrounding the prosecution of our patent applications and the enforcement or defense of our
issued patents.

In addition to patents, we rely on a combination of trade secrets, copyright and trademark laws, nondisclosure

agreements and other contractual provisions and technical security measures to protect our intellectual property
rights. These measures may not be adequate to safeguard the technology underlying our products. If these measures
do not protect our rights adequately, third parties could use our technology, and our ability to compete in the market
would be reduced. Although we have attempted to obtain patent coverage for our technology where available and
appropriate, there are aspects of the technology for which patent coverage was never sought or never received. There
also may be countries in which we sell or intend to sell the CyberKnife or TomoTherapy Systems but have no
patents or pending patent applications. Our ability to prevent others from making or selling duplicate or similar
technologies will be impaired in those countries in which we have no patent protection. Although we have several
issued patents in the U.S. and in foreign countries protecting aspects of the CyberKnife and TomoTherapy Systems,
our pending U.S. and foreign patent applications may not issue, may issue only with limited coverage or may issue
and be subsequently successfully challenged by others and held invalid or unenforceable. In addition, many
countries limit the enforceability of patents against certain third parties, including government agencies or
government contractors. In these countries, patents may provide limited or no benefit. Patent protection must
ultimately be sought on a country-by-country basis, which is an expensive and time consuming process with
uncertain outcomes. Accordingly, we may choose not to seek patent protection in certain countries, and we will not
have the benefit of patent protection in such countries.

42

Similarly, our issued patents and those of our licensors may not provide us with any competitive advantages.
Competitors may be able to design around our patents or develop products which provide outcomes comparable or
superior to ours. Our patents may be held invalid or unenforceable as a result of legal challenges by third parties,
and others may challenge the inventorship or ownership of our patents and pending patent applications. In addition,
the laws of some foreign countries, such as China where our newly announced joint venture will operate, may not
protect our intellectual property rights to the same extent as do the laws of the United States and, even if they do,
uneven enforcement and procedural barriers may exist in such countries. In the event a competitor or other third
party infringes upon our patent or other intellectual property rights or otherwise misappropriates such rights,
enforcing those rights may be difficult and time consuming. Even if successful, litigation to enforce our intellectual
property rights or to defend our patents against challenge could be expensive and time consuming and could divert
our management’s attention from our core business. Damage awards resulting from successful litigation in foreign
jurisdictions may not be in amounts commensurate with damage awards in the U.S. We may not have sufficient
resources to enforce our intellectual property rights or to defend our patents against a challenge. In addition, we may
not prevail in any lawsuits that we initiate, and the damages or other remedies awarded, if any, may not be
commercially valuable. Litigation also puts our patents at risk of being invalidated or interpreted narrowly and our
patent applications at risk of not issuing. Additionally, we may provoke third parties to assert claims against us.

We also license patent and other proprietary rights to aspects of our technology to third parties in fields where we

currently do not operate as well as in fields where we currently do operate. Disputes with our licensees may arise
regarding the scope and content of these licenses. Further, our ability to expand into additional fields with our
technologies may be restricted by our existing licenses or licenses we may grant to third parties in the future.

Additionally, we have written agreements with collaborators regarding the ownership of intellectual property
arising from our collaborations. These agreements generally provide that we must negotiate certain commercial
rights with collaborators with respect to joint inventions or inventions made by our collaborators that arise from the
results of the collaboration. In some instances, there may not be adequate written provisions to address clearly the
resolution of intellectual property rights that may arise from a collaboration. If we cannot successfully negotiate
sufficient ownership and commercial rights to the inventions that result from our use of a third-party collaborator’s
materials where required, or if disputes otherwise arise with respect to the intellectual property developed with the
use of a collaborator’s technology, we may be limited in our ability to utilize these intellectual property rights. In
addition, we may face claims by third parties that our agreements with employees, contractors or consultants
obligating them to assign intellectual property to us are ineffective or in conflict with prior or competing contractual
obligations of assignment, which could result in ownership disputes regarding intellectual property we have
developed or will develop and interfere with our ability to capture the commercial value of such intellectual
property. Litigation may be necessary to resolve an ownership dispute, and if we are not successful, we may be
precluded from using certain intellectual property or may lose our exclusive rights in that intellectual property.
Either outcome could harm our business.

The policies and procedures we have in place to protect our trade secrets may not be effective in preventing
misappropriation of our trade secrets by others. In addition, confidentiality agreements executed by our employees,
consultants and advisors may not be enforceable or may not provide meaningful protection for our trade secrets or
other proprietary information in the event of unauthorized use or disclosure. Litigating a trade secret claim is
expensive and time consuming, and the outcome is unpredictable. In addition, courts outside the United States are
sometimes less willing to protect trade secrets. Moreover, our competitors may independently develop equivalent
knowledge methods and know-how. If we are unable to protect our intellectual property rights, we may be unable to
prevent competitors from using our own inventions and intellectual property to compete against us and our business
may be harmed.

Unfavorable results of legal proceedings could materially and adversely affect our financial condition.

We are and may become a party to legal proceedings, claims and other legal matters in the ordinary course of
business or otherwise. These legal proceedings, claims and other legal matters, regardless of merit, may be costly,
time-consuming and require the attention of key management and other personnel. The outcomes of such matters are
uncertain and difficult to predict. If any such matters are adjudicated against us, in whole or in part, we may be
subject to substantial monetary damages, disgorgement of profits, and injunctions that prevent us from operating our
business, any of which could materially and adversely affect our business and financial condition. We cannot
guarantee that our insurance coverage will be sufficient to cover any damages awarded against us. Further, legal
proceedings, and any adverse resolution thereof, can result in adverse publicity and damage to our reputation, which
could adversely impact our business.

Because the majority of our product revenue is derived from sales of the CyberKnife and TomoTherapy Systems,
which have a long and variable sales and installation cycle, our revenues and cash flows may be volatile and
difficult to predict.

Our primary products are the CyberKnife and TomoTherapy Systems. We expect to generate substantially all of

our revenue for the foreseeable future from sales of and service contracts for the CyberKnife and TomoTherapy
Systems. The CyberKnife and TomoTherapy Systems have lengthy sales and purchase order cycles because they are
major capital equipment items and require the approval of senior management at purchasing institutions. In addition,
sales to some of our customers are subject to competitive bidding or public tender processes. These approval and
bidding processes can be lengthy. Selling our systems, from first contact with a potential customer to a complete
order, generally spans six months to two years and involves personnel with multiple skills. The sales process in the
U.S. typically begins with pre-selling activity followed by sales presentations and other sales related activities. After
the customer has expressed an intention to purchase a CyberKnife or TomoTherapy System, we negotiate and enter
into a definitive purchase contract with the customer. The negotiation of terms that are not standard for Accuray may
require additional time and approvals. Typically, following the execution of the contract, the customer begins the
building or renovation of a radiation-shielded facility to house the CyberKnife or TomoTherapy System, which
together with the subsequent installation of the CyberKnife or TomoTherapy System, can take up to 24 months to
complete. In order to construct this facility, the customer must typically obtain radiation device installation permits,
which are granted by state and local government bodies, each of which may have different criteria for permit
issuance. If a permit was denied for installation at a specific hospital or treatment center, our CyberKnife or
TomoTherapy System could not be installed at that location. In addition, some of our customers are cancer centers
or facilities that are new, and in these cases it may be necessary for the entire facility to be completed before the
CyberKnife or TomoTherapy System can be installed, which can result in additional construction and installation
delays. Our sales and installations of CyberKnife and TomoTherapy Systems tend to be heaviest during the third
month of each fiscal quarter.

Under our revenue recognition policy, we recognize revenue attributable to a CyberKnife or TomoTherapy

System purchase when control is transferred upon delivery while an element of installation is deferred until
performed. Under our current forms of purchase and service contracts, we record a majority of the purchase price as
revenue for a CyberKnife or TomoTherapy System upon installation or delivery of the system. Events beyond our
control may delay installation and the satisfaction of contingencies required to receive cash inflows and recognize
revenue, including delays in the customer obtaining funding or financing, delays in construction at the customer site
or delays in the customer obtaining receipt of regulatory approvals such as certificates of need.

The long sales cycle, together with delays in the delivery and installation of CyberKnife and TomoTherapy

Systems or customer cancellations that could affect our ability to recognize revenue, could adversely affect our cash
flows and revenue, which would harm our results of operations and may result in significant fluctuations in our
reporting of quarterly revenues. Because of these fluctuations, it is likely that in some future quarters, our operating
results will fall below the expectations of securities analysts or investors. If that happens, the market price of our
stock would likely decrease. These fluctuations also mean that you will not be able to rely upon our operating results
in any particular period as an indication of future performance.

We depend on third-party distributors to market and distribute our products in international markets. If our
distributors fail to successfully market and distribute our products, our business will be materially harmed.

We depend on a number of distributors in our international markets. We cannot control the efforts and resources
our third-party distributors will devote to marketing the CyberKnife or TomoTherapy Systems. Our distributors may
not be able to successfully market and sell the CyberKnife or TomoTherapy Systems, may not devote sufficient time
and resources to support the marketing and selling efforts and may not market the CyberKnife or TomoTherapy
Systems at prices that will permit the product to develop, achieve or sustain market acceptance. In some
jurisdictions, we rely on our distributors to manage the regulatory process and oversee their activities such that they
are in compliance with all laws that govern their activities, such as the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act
(“FCPA”), and we are dependent on their ability to do so effectively. In addition, if a distributor is terminated by us
or goes out of business, it may take us a period of time to locate an alternative distributor, to seek appropriate
regulatory approvals and to train its personnel to market the CyberKnife or TomoTherapy Systems, and our ability
to sell and service the CyberKnife or TomoTherapy Systems in the region formerly serviced by such terminated
distributor could be materially and adversely affected. Any of our distributors could become insolvent or otherwise
become unable to pay amounts owed to us when due. If any of these distributor relationships end and are not

44

replaced, our revenues from product sales or the ability to service our products in the territories serviced by these
distributors could be adversely affected. Any of these factors could materially and adversely affect our revenue from
international markets, increase our costs in those markets or damage our reputation. If we are unable to attract
additional international distributors, our international revenue may not grow. If our distributors experience
difficulties, do not comply with regulatory or legal requirements that results in fines or penalties, do not actively
market the CyberKnife or TomoTherapy Systems or do not otherwise perform under our distribution agreements,
our potential for revenue and gross margins from international markets may be dramatically reduced, and our
business could be harmed.

The high unit price of the CyberKnife and TomoTherapy Systems, as well as other factors, may contribute to
substantial fluctuations in our operating results, which could adversely affect our stock price.

Because of the high unit price of the CyberKnife and TomoTherapy Systems and the relatively small number of
units installed each quarter, each installation of a CyberKnife or TomoTherapy System can represent a significant
percentage of our revenue for a particular quarter. Therefore, if we do not install a CyberKnife or TomoTherapy
System when anticipated, we will not be able to recognize the associated revenue and our operating results will vary
significantly from our expectations. This is of particular concern when the economic environment is volatile, where
we have had experiences with customers cancelling or postponing orders for our CyberKnife and TomoTherapy
Systems and delaying any required build-outs. These fluctuations and other potential fluctuations mean that you
should not rely upon our operating results in any particular period as an indication of future performance.

As a strategy to assist our sales efforts, we may offer extended payment terms, which may potentially result in
higher days sales outstanding, reduced cash flows in a particular period and greater payment defaults.

We offer longer or extended payment terms for qualified customers in some circumstances. As of June 30, 2019,
customer contracts with extended payment terms of more than one year amounted to approximately 4% of our total
accounts receivable balance. While we qualify customers to whom we offer longer or extended payment terms, their
financial positions may change adversely over the longer time period given for payment. This may result in an
increase in payment defaults, which would affect our revenue, as we recognize revenue on such transactions on a
cash basis. Any increase in days sales outstanding could also negatively affect our cash flow.

Our operations are vulnerable to interruption or loss because of natural disasters, epidemics, terrorist acts and
other events beyond our control, which would adversely affect our business.

We have facilities in countries around the world, including two manufacturing facilities, each of which is

equipped to manufacture unique components of our products. The manufacturing facilities are located in Madison,
Wisconsin, and Chengdu, China. We do not maintain backup manufacturing facilities for any of our manufacturing
facilities or for our IT facilities, so we depend on each of our current facilities for the continued operation of our
business. In addition, we conduct a significant portion of other activities, including administration and data
processing, at facilities located in California which has experienced major earthquakes in the past, as well as other
natural disasters. Chengdu, China, where one of our manufacturing facilities is located, has also experienced major
earthquakes in the past. We do not carry earthquake insurance. Unexpected events at any of our facilities, including
fires or explosions; natural disasters, such as hurricanes, floods, tornados, and earthquakes; war or terrorist activities;
unplanned outages; supply disruptions; and failures of equipment or systems, or the failure to take adequate steps to
mitigate the likelihood or potential impact of such events, could significantly disrupt our operations, delay or
prevent product manufacturing and shipment for the time required to repair, rebuild or replace our manufacturing
facilities, which could be lengthy, result in large expenses to repair or replace the facilities, and adversely affect our
results of operation. In addition, concerns about terrorism, the effects of a terrorist attack, political turmoil or an
epidemic outbreak could have a negative effect on our operations and the operations of our suppliers and customers
and the ability to travel, which could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.

45

We may attempt to acquire new businesses, products or technologies, or enter into strategic collaborations or
alliances, including forming joint ventures, and if we are unable to successfully complete these acquisitions or to
integrate acquired businesses, products, technologies or employees, we may fail to realize expected benefits or
harm our existing business.

Our success will depend, in part, on our ability to expand our product offerings and grow our business in

response to changing technologies, customer demands, and competitive pressures. In some circumstances, we may
determine to do so through the acquisition of complementary businesses, products or technologies or through
collaborating with complementary businesses, including forming joint ventures, such as our recently announced
joint venture in China, rather than through internal development. The identification of suitable acquisition, alliance
and joint venture partner candidates can be difficult, time consuming, and costly, and we may not be able to
successfully complete identified acquisitions, alliances, or joint ventures. Other companies may compete with us for
these strategic opportunities. In addition, even if we successfully complete an acquisition, alliance, or joint venture,
we may not be able to successfully integrate newly acquired organizations, products or technologies into our
operations or timely and effectively commence operations of any joint venture or other alliance because the process
of integration could be expensive, time consuming and may strain our resources. Furthermore, we may be required
to contribute significant amounts of capital or incur losses in the initial stages of an alliance or joint venture,
particularly as selling and marketing activities increase ahead of expected long-term revenue. For example, we are
expected to make initial capital contributions to our joint venture in China before December 31, 2019 and further
contributions may be necessary in the future as the joint venture begins operations in China in order to achieve our
long-term strategy in China. In addition, the process for customers of the acquired company, alliance or joint venture
to comply with local or foreign regulatory requirements that may be required to purchase our products may cause
delays in the acquisition target, alliance partner or joint venture’s ability to conduct business. For example, any
delays in customers in China to obtain Class A or Class B user licenses could delay our joint venture’s ability to
initiate sales and recognize revenue in China. Furthermore, the products and technologies that we acquire, jointly
develop, or with respect to which we collaborate may not be successful, or may require significantly greater
resources and investments than we originally anticipated. Implementing or acquiring new lines of business or
offering new products and services within existing lines of business can affect the sales and profitability of existing
lines of business or products and services, including as a result of sales channel conflicts. In addition, we may not be
in a position to exercise sole decision making authority regarding any strategic collaboration, alliance or joint
venture, which could result in impasses on decisions or decisions made by our partners, and our partners in such
collaborations, alliances or joint ventures may have economic or business interests that are, or may become,
inconsistent with our interests. Collaborations, alliances and joint ventures can be difficult to manage and may
involve significant expense and divert the focus and attention of our management and other key personnel away
from our existing businesses. With respect to any acquisition, we may be unable to retain employees of acquired
companies, or retain the acquired company’s customers, suppliers, distributors or other partners who are our
competitors or who have close relationships with our competitors. In addition, with respect to joint ventures, we may
not be able to attract qualified employees, acquire customers, or develop reliable supply, distribution or other
partnerships. As a result of certain collaborations, alliances and joint ventures we could face potential damage to
existing customer relationships or lack of customer acceptance or inability to attract new customers. These risks
could be magnified to the extent that any new collaboration, alliance or joint venture would result in a significant
increase in operations in developing markets. Future acquisitions or alliances could also result in potentially dilutive
issuances of equity securities or the incurrence of debt, contingent liabilities, or expenses or other charges such as
in-process research and development, any of which could harm our business and affect our financial results or cause
a reduction in the price of our common stock. Further, acquisition targets, alliance partners and joint ventures may
also operate in foreign jurisdictions with laws and regulations with which we have limited familiarity, which could
adversely impact our ability to comply with such laws and regulations and may lead to increased litigation risk. Such
laws may also offer us inadequate or less intellectual property protection relative to U.S. laws, which may impact
our ability, as well as the ability of the acquisition target, alliance partner and joint venture, to safeguard our
respective intellectual property from infringement and misappropriation. As a result of these and other factors, we
may not realize the expected benefits of any acquisition, collaboration, joint venture or strategic alliance or such
benefits may not be realized at expected levels or within the expected time period. The failure to successfully
consummate such strategic transactions and effectively integrate and execute following such consummation may
have an adverse impact on our growth, profitability, financial position and results of operations.

46

Multiple factors may adversely affect our ability to fully utilize certain tax loss carryforwards.

As of June 30, 2019, we had approximately $330.9 million and $131.6 million in federal and state net operating
loss carry forwards, respectively. The federal and state carryforwards expire in varying amounts beginning in 2025
for federal and 2020 for state purposes. In addition, as of June 30, 2019, we had federal and state research and
development tax credit carryforwards of approximately $20.6 million and $20.1 million, respectively. If not utilized,
such research credits for federal tax purposes will begin to expire in 2020, while the California research credits have
no expiration date and other state research credits will begin to expire in 2020. Utilization of our net operating loss
and credit carry forwards is subject to annual limitation due to the application of the ownership change limitations
provided by Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code and similar state provisions to us. Future changes in our stock
ownership, including future offerings, as well as changes that may be outside of our control, could result in an
ownership change under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. However, none of the federal and state net
operating loss carryforwards are expected to expire as a result of the ownership change limitation.

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 could adversely affect our business and financial condition.

In December 2017, the “Tax Cuts and Jobs Act” (the “Tax Act”) was enacted into law, which significantly

amends the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. The Tax Act, among other things, reduced the corporate tax rate from a
top marginal rate of 35% to a flat rate of 21%, limited the tax deduction for interest expense to 30% of adjusted
earnings, eliminated net operating loss carrybacks, imposed a one-time tax on offshore earnings at reduced rates
regardless of whether they are repatriated, allows immediate deductions for certain new investments instead of
deductions for depreciation expense over time, and modifies or repeals many business deductions and credits. The
ongoing and future impact on our business will continue to be assessed due to the complexity and interdependency
of the legislative provisions, as well as any new or proposed Treasury regulations, which may yet be issued.
Notwithstanding the reduction in the corporate income tax rate, the overall impact of the Tax Act is uncertain and
our business and financial condition could be adversely affected.

Our results may be impacted by changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

Currently, the majority of our international sales are denominated in U.S. Dollars. As a result, an increase in the
value of the U.S. Dollar relative to foreign currencies could require us to reduce our sales price or make our products
less competitive in international markets. For example, the announcement of Brexit caused severe volatility in global
currency exchange rate fluctuations that resulted in the strengthening of the U.S. Dollar against foreign currencies in
which we conduct business. We believe the strengthening of the U.S. Dollar has caused a potential delay in orders
and we may continue to see our sales decline due to the strengthening of the U.S. Dollar. Also, if our international
sales increase, we may enter into a greater number of transactions denominated in non-U.S. Dollars, which would
expose us to foreign currency risks, including changes in currency exchange rates. If we are unable to address these
risks and challenges effectively, our international operations may not be successful and our business would be
materially harmed.

If we fail to maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting, our ability to produce timely
and accurate financial results could be impaired. As a result, current and potential stockholders could lose
confidence in our financial reporting, which could have an adverse effect on our business and our stock price.

Effective internal controls are necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports and to protect from fraudulent,

illegal, or unauthorized transactions. If we cannot maintain effective controls and provide timely and reliable
financial reports, our business and operating results could be harmed.

A failure to implement and maintain effective internal control over financial reporting could result in a material

misstatement of our financial statements or otherwise cause us to fail to meet our financial reporting obligations.
This, in turn, could result in a loss of investor confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports,
which could have an adverse effect on our business and operating results and our stock price, and we could be
subject to stockholder litigation.

47

In addition, it may be difficult to timely determine the effectiveness of our financial reporting systems and

internal controls because of the complexity of our financial model. We recognize revenue from a range of
transactions including CyberKnife and TomoTherapy Systems sales and services. The CyberKnife and
TomoTherapy Systems are complex products that contain both hardware and software elements. The complexity of
the CyberKnife and TomoTherapy Systems and of our financial model used to recognize revenue on such systems
requires us to process a greater variety of financial transactions than would be required by a company with a less
complex financial model. Accordingly, efforts to timely remediate deficiencies or weaknesses in our internal
controls would likely be more challenging for us than they would for a company with a less complex financial
model. Furthermore, if we were to find an internal control deficiency or material weakness, we may be required to
amend or restate historical financial statements, which would likely have a negative impact on our stock price.

Changes in interpretation or application of generally accepted accounting principles may adversely affect our
operating results.

We prepare our financial statements to conform to United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.
These principles are subject to interpretation by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, American Institute of
Certified Public Accountants, the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, the Securities and Exchange
Commission and various other regulatory or accounting bodies. A change in interpretations of, or our application of,
these principles can have a significant effect on our reported results and may even affect our reporting of
transactions completed before a change is announced. Additionally, as we are required to adopt new accounting
standards, our methods of accounting for certain items may change, which could cause our results of operations to
fluctuate from period to period. For example, upon adoption of ASC 606, we now recognize system revenue upon
transfer of control, which is generally at time of delivery. Under the previous accounting guidance, we recognized
system revenue upon acceptance when and if we have installation responsibilities. If circumstances change over
time or interpretation of the revenue recognition rules change, we could be required to adjust the timing of
recognizing revenue and our financial results could suffer.

Our liquidity could be adversely impacted by adverse conditions in the financial markets.

At June 30, 2019, we had $76.8 million in cash and cash equivalents. The available cash and cash equivalents are
held in accounts managed by third-party financial institutions and consist of cash in our operating accounts and cash
invested in money market funds. To date, we have experienced no material realized losses on or lack of access to
our invested cash, or cash equivalents; however, we can provide no assurances that access to our invested cash and
cash equivalents will not be impacted by adverse conditions in the financial markets.

At any point in time, we also have funds in our operating accounts that are with third-party financial institutions
that exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance limits. While we monitor daily the cash
balances in our operating accounts and adjust the cash balances as appropriate, these cash balances could be
impacted if the underlying financial institutions fail or become subject to other adverse conditions in the financial
markets. To date, we have experienced no loss or lack of access to cash in our operating accounts.

Our ability to raise capital in the future may be limited, and our failure to raise capital when needed could
prevent us from executing our growth strategy.

While we believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash needs

for at least the next twelve months, the timing and amount of our working capital and capital expenditure
requirements may vary significantly depending on numerous factors, including the other risk factors described above
and below.

If our capital resources are insufficient to satisfy our liquidity requirements, we may seek to sell additional equity

securities or debt securities or obtain other debt financing, which could be difficult or impossible depending on the
state of economic and capital markets environments at the time, as well as the state of our business, operating results
and financial condition. Our debt levels may impair our ability to obtain additional financing in the future. The sale
of additional equity securities or convertible debt securities would result in additional dilution to our stockholders.
We cannot assure that additional financing, if required or desired, will be available in amounts or on terms
acceptable to us, if at all.

48

Risks Related to the Regulation of our Products and Business

Modifications, upgrades, new indications and future products related to the CyberKnife or TomoTherapy Systems
or the Precision Treatment Planning or iDMS Data Management System software may require new FDA 510(k)
clearances or premarket approvals and similar licensing or approvals in international markets. Such
modifications, or any defects in design, manufacture or labeling may require us to recall or cease marketing the
affected systems or software until approvals or clearances are obtained.

The CyberKnife and TomoTherapy Systems as well as the Precision Treatment Planning and iDMS Data
Management System software are medical devices that are subject to extensive regulation in the United States by
local, state and the federal government, including the FDA. The FDA regulates virtually all aspects of a medical
device design, development, testing manufacturing, labeling, storage, record keeping, adverse event reporting, sale,
promotion, distribution and shipping. Before a new medical device, or a new intended use or indication or claim for
an existing product, can be marketed in the United States, it must first receive either premarket approval or 510(k)
clearance from the FDA, unless an exemption exists. Either process can be expensive, lengthy and unpredictable.
The FDA’s 510(k) clearance process generally takes from three to twelve months, but it can last longer. The process
of obtaining premarket approval is much more costly and uncertain than the 510(k) clearance process and it
generally takes from one to three years, or even longer, from the time the application is filed with the FDA.
Additionally, outside of the United States, our products are subject to clearances and approvals by foreign
governmental agencies similar to the FDA. In order to market our products internationally, we must obtain licenses
or approvals from these governmental agencies, which could include local requirements and safety standards, and
can be time consuming, burdensome and uncertain. Despite the time, effort and cost, there can be no assurance that a
particular device or a modification of a device will be approved or cleared by the FDA or any foreign governmental
agency in a timely fashion, if at all. Even if we are granted regulatory clearances or approvals, they may include
significant limitations on the indicated uses of the product, which may limit the market for those products, and how
those products can be promoted.

Medical devices may only be marketed for the indications for which they are approved or cleared. The FDA and

other foreign governments also may change their policies, adopt additional regulations, or revise existing
regulations, each of which could prevent or delay approval or clearance of our device, or could impact our ability to
market our currently approved or cleared device. We are also subject to medical device reporting regulations which
require us to report to the FDA and other international governmental agencies if our products cause or contribute to
a death or a serious injury, or malfunction in a way that would likely cause or contribute to a death or a serious
injury. We also are subject to the QSR in the U.S. and ISO 13485 certification in many international markets,
compliance with which is necessary to receive FDA and other international clearances or approvals to market new
products and is necessary for us to be able to continue to market a cleared or approved product in the United States
or globally. After a product is placed in the market, we are also subject to regulations by the FDA and Federal Trade
Commission related to the advertising and promotion of our products to ensure our claims are consistent with our
regulatory clearances, that there is scientific data to substantiate our claims and that our advertising is not false or
misleading. Our products are also subject to state regulations and various worldwide laws and regulations.

A component of our strategy is to continue to upgrade the CyberKnife and TomoTherapy Systems as well as the

Precision Treatment Planning an iDMS Data Management System software. Upgrades previously released by us
required 510(k) clearance and international registration before we were able to offer them for sale. We expect our
future upgrades will similarly require 510(k) clearance or approval; however, future upgrades may be subject to
substantially more time consuming data generation requirements and uncertain premarket approval or clearance
processes. If we were required to use the premarket approval process for future products or product modifications, it
could delay or prevent release of the proposed products or modifications, which could harm our business.

The FDA requires device manufacturers to make their own determination of whether or not a modification

requires an approval or clearance; however, the FDA can review a manufacturer’s decision not to submit for
additional approvals or clearances. Any modification to an FDA approved or cleared device that would significantly
affect its safety or efficacy or that would constitute a major change in its intended use would require a new
premarket approval or 510(k) clearance. We cannot assure you that the FDA will agree with our decisions not to
seek approvals or clearances for particular device modifications or that we will be successful in obtaining premarket
approvals or 510(k) clearances for modifications in a timely fashion, if at all.

49

We have obtained 510(k) clearance for the CyberKnife Systems for the treatment of tumors anywhere in the body

where radiation is indicated, and we have obtained 510(k) clearance for the TomoTherapy Systems to be used as
integrated systems for the planning and delivery of IMRT for the treatment of cancer. We have made modifications
to the CyberKnife and TomoTherapy Systems in the past and may make additional modifications in the future that
we believe do not or will not require additional approvals or clearances. If the FDA disagrees, based on new
finalized guidance and requires us to obtain additional premarket approvals or 510(k) clearances for any
modifications to the CyberKnife or TomoTherapy Systems and we fail to obtain such approvals or clearances or fail
to secure approvals or clearances in a timely manner, we may be required to cease manufacturing and marketing the
modified device or to recall such modified device until we obtain FDA approval or clearance and we may be subject
to significant regulatory fines or penalties.

The FDA and similar governmental authorities in other countries in which we market and sell our products have

the authority to require the recall of our products in the event of material deficiencies or defects in design,
manufacture or labeling. A government mandated recall, or a voluntary recall by us, could occur as a result of
component failures, manufacturing errors or design defects, including defects in labeling and user manuals. Any
recall could divert management’s attention, cause us to incur significant expenses, generate negative publicity, harm
our reputation with customers, negatively affect our future sales and business, require redesign of the CyberKnife or
TomoTherapy Systems, and harm our operating results. In these circumstances, we may also be subject to
significant enforcement action. If any of these events were to occur, our ability to introduce new or enhanced
products in a timely manner would be adversely affected, which in turn would harm our future growth.

We are subject to federal, state and foreign laws and regulations applicable to our operations, the violation of
which could result in substantial penalties and harm our business.

In addition to regulation by the FDA and similar governmental authorities in other countries, our operations are
subject to other laws and regulations, such as laws and rules governing interactions with healthcare providers, anti-
corruption laws, privacy rules and transparency laws. In order to maintain compliance with these laws and
requirements, we must continually keep abreast of any changes or developments to be able to integrate compliance
protocols into the development and regulatory documentation of our products. Failure to maintain compliance could
result in substantial penalties to us and harm our business.

Laws and ethical rules governing interactions with healthcare providers. The Medicare and Medicaid

“anti-kickback” laws, and similar state laws, prohibit soliciting, offering, paying or accepting any payments or other
remuneration that is intended to induce any individual or entity to either refer patients to or purchase, lease or order,
or arrange for or recommend the purchase, lease or order of, healthcare products or services for which payment may
be made under federal and state healthcare programs, such as Medicare and Medicaid. Such laws impact our sales,
marketing and other promotional activities by reducing the types of financial arrangements we may have with our
customers, potential customers, marketing consultants and other service providers. They particularly impact how we
structure our sales offerings, including discount practices, customer support, product loans, education and training
programs, physician consulting, research grants and other service arrangements. Many of these laws are broadly
drafted and are open to a variety of interpretations, making it difficult to determine with any certainty whether
certain arrangements violate such laws, even if statutory safe harbors are available.

In addition to such anti-kickback laws, federal and state “false claims” laws generally prohibit the knowing filing

or causing the filing of a false claim or the knowing use of false statements to obtain payment from government
payors. Although we do not submit claims directly to payors, manufacturers can be held liable under these laws if
they are deemed to “cause” the submission of false or fraudulent claims by providing inaccurate billing or coding
information to customers, or through certain other activities, including promoting products for uses or indications
that are not approved by the FDA.

We are also subject to federal and state physician self-referral laws. The federal Ethics in Patient Referrals Act of

1989, commonly known as the Stark Law, prohibits, subject to certain exceptions, physician referrals of Medicare
and Medicaid patients to an entity providing certain “designated health services” if the physician or an immediate
family member has any financial relationship with the entity. The Stark Law also prohibits the entity receiving the
referral from billing any good or service furnished pursuant to an unlawful referral. Various states have corollary
laws to the Stark Law, including laws that require physicians to disclose any financial interest they may have with a
healthcare provider to their patients when referring patients to that provider. Both the scope and exceptions for such
laws vary from state to state.

50

If our past or present operations are found to be in violation of any of these “anti-kickback,” “false claims,”
“self-referral” or other similar laws in foreign jurisdictions, we may be subject to the applicable penalty associated
with the violation, which may include significant civil and criminal penalties, damages, fines, imprisonment and
exclusion from healthcare programs. The impact of any such violations may lead to curtailment or restructuring of
our operations, which could adversely affect our ability to operate our business and our financial results.

Anti-corruption laws. We are also subject to laws regarding the conduct of business overseas, such as the

FCPA, the U.K. Bribery Act of 2010, the Brazil Clean Companies Act, and other similar laws in foreign countries in
which we operate. The FCPA prohibits the provision of illegal or improper inducements to foreign government
officials in connection with the obtaining of business overseas. Becoming familiar with and implementing the
infrastructure necessary to ensure that we and our distributors comply with such laws, rules and regulations and
mitigate and protect against corruption risks could be quite costly, and there can be no assurance that any policies
and procedures we do implement will protect us against liability under the FCPA or related laws for actions taken by
our employees, executive officers, distributors, agents and other intermediaries with respect to our business.
Violations of the FCPA or other similar laws by us or any of our employees, executive officers, distributors, agents
or other intermediaries could subject us or the individuals involved to criminal or civil liability, cause a loss of
reputation in the market, and materially harm our business.

Laws protecting patient health information. There are a number of federal and state laws protecting the

confidentiality of certain patient health information, including patient records, and restricting the use and disclosure
of that protected information. In particular, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (“HHS”) has
promulgated patient privacy rules under the HIPAA. These privacy rules protect medical records and other personal
health information of patients by limiting their use and disclosure, giving patients the right to access, amend and
seek accounting of their own health information and limiting most uses and disclosures of health information to the
minimum amount reasonably necessary to accomplish the intended purpose. The HIPAA privacy standard was
amended by the HITECH, enacted as part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. Although we
are not a “covered entity” under HIPAA, we are considered a “business associate” of certain covered entities and, as
such, we are directly subject to HIPAA, including its enforcement scheme and inspection requirements, and are
required to implement policies, procedures as well as reasonable and appropriate physical, technical and
administrative security measures to protect individually identifiable health information we receive from covered
entities. Our failure to protect health information received from customers in compliance with HIPAA or other laws
could subject us to civil and criminal liability to the government and civil liability to the covered entity, could result
in adverse publicity, and could harm our business and impair our ability to attract new customers.

Transparency laws. The Sunshine Act, which was enacted by Congress as part of the Patient Protection and
Affordable Care Act on December 14, 2011, requires each applicable manufacturer, which includes medical device
companies such as Accuray, to track and report to the federal government on an annual basis all payments and other
transfers of value from such applicable manufacturer to U.S. licensed physicians and teaching hospitals as well as
physician ownership of such applicable manufacturer’s equity, in each case subject to certain statutory exceptions.
Such data will be made available by the government on a publicly searchable website. Failure to comply with the
data collection and reporting obligations imposed by the Sunshine Act can result in civil monetary penalties ranging
from $1,000 to $10,000 for each payment or other transfer of value that is not reported (up to a maximum of
$150,000 per reporting period) and from $10,000 to $100,000 for each knowing failure to report (up to a maximum
of $1 million per reporting period). In addition, we are subject to similar state and foreign laws related to the
tracking and reporting of payments and other transfers of value to healthcare professionals, the violation of which
could, among other things, result in civil monetary penalties and adversely impact our reputation and business.

If we or our distributors do not obtain and maintain the necessary regulatory approvals in a specific country, we
will not be able to market and sell our products in that country.

To be able to market and sell our products in a specific country, we or our distributors must comply with
applicable laws and regulations of that country. In jurisdictions where we rely on our distributors to manage the
regulatory process, we are dependent on their ability to do so effectively. While the laws and regulations of some
countries do not impose barriers to marketing and selling our products or only require notification, others require
that we or our distributors obtain the approval of a specified regulatory body. These laws and regulations, including
the requirements for approvals, and the time required for regulatory review vary from country to country. The
governmental agencies regulating medical devices in some countries, for example, require that the user interface on
medical device software be in the local language. We currently provide user guides and manuals, both paper copies
and electronically, in the local language but only provide an English language version of the user interface.
Obtaining regulatory approvals is expensive and time-consuming, and we cannot be certain that we or our
distributors will receive regulatory approvals in each country in which we market or plan to market our products. If
we modify our products, we or our distributors may need to apply for additional regulatory approvals before we are
permitted to sell them. We may not continue to meet the quality and safety standards required to maintain the
authorizations that we or our distributors have received. It can also be costly for us and our distributors to keep up
with regulatory changes issued or mandated from time to time. If we change distributors, it may be time-consuming
and disruptive to our business to transfer the required regulatory approvals, particularly if such approvals are
maintained by our third-party distributors on our behalf. If we or our distributors are unable to maintain our
authorizations, or fail to obtain appropriate authorizations in a particular country, we will no longer be able to sell
our products in that country, and our ability to generate revenue will be materially adversely affected.

Within the European Union, we are required under the Medical Device Directive to affix the Conformité

Européene, or CE, mark on our products in order to sell the products in member countries of the EU. This
conformity to the applicable directives is done through self-declaration and is verified by an independent
certification body, called a Notified Body, before the CE mark can be placed on the device. Once the CE mark is
affixed to the device, the Notified Body will regularly audit us to ensure that we remain in compliance with the
applicable European laws or directives. CE marking demonstrates that our products comply with the laws and
regulations required by the European Union countries to allow free movement of trade within those countries. If we
cannot support our performance claims and/or demonstrate or maintain compliance with the applicable European
laws and directives, we lose our CE mark, which would prevent us from selling our products within the European
Union.

Under the Pharmaceutical Affairs Law in Japan, a pre-market approval necessary to sell, market and import a
product, or Shonin, must be obtained from the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare (“MHLW”), for our products.
Before issuing approvals, MHLW examines the application in detail with regard to the quality, efficacy, and safety
of the proposed medical device. The Shonin is granted once MHLW is content with the safety and effectiveness of
the medical device. The time required for approval varies. A delay in approval could prevent us from selling our
products in Japan, which could impact our ability to generate revenue and harm our business.

In addition to laws and regulations regarding medical devices, we are subject to a variety of environmental laws
and regulations around the world regulating our operations, including those relating to the use, generation, handling,
storage, transportation, treatment and disposal of hazardous materials, which laws impose compliance costs on our
business and can also result in liability to us. Although we follow procedures intended to comply with existing
environmental laws and regulations, risk of accidental contamination or injury can never be fully eliminated. In the
event of an accident, state or federal or other applicable authorities may curtail our use of these materials and
interrupt our business operations. In addition, future changes in these laws and regulations could also increase our
costs of doing business. We must continually keep abreast of these standards and requirements and integrate our
compliance into the development and regulatory documentation for our products. Failure to meet these standards
could limit our ability to market our products in those regions that require compliance to such standards. For
example, the European Union has adopted directives that may lead to restrictions on the use of certain hazardous
substances or other regulated substances in some of our products sold there, unless such products are eligible for an
exemption. While we believe that certain of our products are exempt, there can be no guarantee that such
determination would not be challenged or that the regulations would not change in a way that would subject our
products to such regulation. These directives, along with other laws and regulations that may be adopted by other
countries, could increase our operating costs in order to maintain access to certain markets, which could adversely
affect our business.

52

Healthcare reform legislation could adversely affect demand for our products, our revenue and our financial
condition.

In March 2010, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, as amended by Health Care and Education
Reconciliation Act (collectively, the “ACA”) were signed into law. The ACA provides for, among other things, a
2.3% excise tax on U.S. sales of medical devices, including our products, effective as of 2013. The excise tax was
suspended for a two year period beginning January 1, 2016 and was recently further suspended through December
31, 2019. If and when enacted, this tax burden may have a material, negative impact on our business, results of
operations and cash flow. In addition, the ACA includes a large number of other health related provisions, including
expanding Medicaid eligibility, requiring most individuals to have health insurance, establishing new regulations on
health plans, establishing health insurance exchanges, requiring manufacturers to report payments or other transfers
of value made to physicians and teaching hospitals, modifying certain payment systems to encourage more
cost-effective care and a reduction of inefficiencies and waste and including new tools to address fraud and abuse.
The laws also include a decrease in the annual rate of inflation for Medicare payments to hospitals and the
establishment of an independent payment advisory board to suggest methods of reducing the rate of growth in
Medicare spending. We do not yet know the full impact that the ACA will have on our business. The taxes imposed
by the ACA and the expansion in the government's role in the U.S. healthcare industry may result in decreased
profits to us, lower reimbursement by third-party payors for our products, or reduced volume of medical procedures
conducted with our products, all of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition
and results of operations. The federal government may take further action regarding the ACA, including, but not
limited to, repeal or replacement action. Most recently, the Tax Act was signed into law in December 2017, which,
among other things, removed penalties for not complying with the individual mandate to carry health insurance.
Additionally, all or a portion of the ACA and related subsequent legislation may be modified, repealed or otherwise
invalidated through judicial challenge, which could result in lower numbers of insured individuals, reduced coverage
for insured individuals and adversely affect our business.

In addition, since the adoption of the Affordable Care Act, other legislation designed to keep federal healthcare
costs down has been proposed or passed. For example, under the sequestration required by the Budget Control Act
of 2011, as amended by the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012, Medicare payments for all items and services
under Parts A and B incurred on or after April 1, 2013 have been reduced by up to 2%. Future federal legislation
may impose further limitations on the coverage or amounts of reimbursement available for our products from
governmental agencies or third-party payors. These limitations could have a negative impact on the demand for our
products and services, and therefore on our financial position and results of operations.

Since the enactment of the ACA, CMS continues its efforts to move away from fee-for-service payments for
furnishing items and services in Medicare. In the past several rulemaking cycles, CMS has increased packaging
policies and created larger payment bundles across the Medicare Hospital Outpatient Prospective Payment System
(“OPPS”). One example is CMS’ expansion of Comprehensive Ambulatory Payment Classifications, under which
payment for adjunctive and secondary items, services and procedures are packaged into the most costly primary
procedure at the claim level. Beyond the OPPS, CMS’ Innovation Center has launched a number of alternative
payment model (“APM”) demonstrations that involve episode-based (i.e. bundled) payment. Since 2011, for
example, Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation (“CMMI”) has created and is in the process of creating
major federal initiatives to test episode-based payments, such as the Bundled Payments for Care Improvement,
Oncology Care Model, Specialty Practitioners Payment Model Opportunities. More recently, CMMI proposed a
Radiation Oncology Model (“OM”), which would mandate selected radiotherapy providers to participate in a
prospective, episode-based payments model where payment is based on a patient’s diagnosis as opposed to the
traditional volume-based fee-for service payment model.
It is unclear what impact, if any, such initiatives will
have on our business and operating results, but any resulting decrease in reimbursement to our customers may result
in reduced demand for our services.

Furthermore, PAMPA froze payment for some radiation therapy delivery and related services, and requires CMS

to provide a report to the U.S. Congress on the development of an APM for radiation therapy services provided in
non-facility settings. While these types of payment packaging policies and episode-based payments may impact
reimbursement for overall patient care, including items and services furnished to patients, they also create incentives
for providers to carefully assess the value proposition of technology purchases and uses. The impacts of these
payment and delivery system changes are in their infancy and their overall effects remain under review.

53

Future legislative or policy initiatives directed at reducing costs could be introduced at either the federal or state
level. We cannot predict what healthcare reform legislation or regulations, if any, including any potential repeal or
amendment of the ACA, will be enacted in the United States or elsewhere, what impact any legislation or
regulations related to the healthcare system that may be enacted or adopted in the future might have on our business,
or the effect of ongoing uncertainty or public perception about these matters will have on the purchasing decisions
of our customers. However, the implementation of new legislation and regulation may materially lower
reimbursements for our products, materially reduce medical procedure volumes and significantly and adversely
affect our business.

Regulations related to “conflict minerals” may force us to incur additional expenses, may result in damage to our
business reputation and may adversely impact our ability to conduct our business.

The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and the rules promulgated by the SEC under
such act require companies, including Accuray, to disclose the existence in their products of certain metals, known
as “conflict minerals,” which are metals mined from the Democratic Republic of the Congo and adjoining countries.
These rules requires investigative efforts, which has and will continue to cause us to incur associated costs, could
adversely affect the sourcing, availability and pricing of minerals used in our products and may cause reputational
harm if we determine that certain of our components contain such conflict minerals or if we are unable to alter our
processes or sources of supply to avoid using such materials, all of which could adversely impact sales of our
products and results of operations.

Risks Related to Our Common Stock

The price of our common stock is volatile and may continue to fluctuate significantly, which could lead to losses
for stockholders.

The trading prices of the stock of high-technology companies of our size can experience extreme price and

volume fluctuations. These fluctuations often have been unrelated or out of proportion to the operating performance
of these companies. Our stock price has experienced periods of volatility. Broad market fluctuations may also harm
our stock price. Any negative change in the public’s perception of the prospects of companies that employ similar
technology or sell into similar markets could also depress our stock price, regardless of our actual results.

In addition to the other risk factors described above and below, factors affecting the trading price of our common

stock include:

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

regulatory developments related to manufacturing, marketing or sale of the CyberKnife or TomoTherapy
Systems;

political or social uncertainties;

changes in product pricing policies;

variations in our operating results, as well as costs and expenditures;

announcements of technological innovations, new services or service enhancements, strategic alliances or
significant agreements by us or by our competitors;

changes in analysts’ estimates, investors’ perceptions, recommendations by securities analysts or our failure
to achieve analysts’ and our own estimates;

recruitment or departure of key personnel;

54

•

•

the performance of our competitors and investor perception of the markets and industries in which we
compete;

announcement of strategic transactions or capital raising activities; and

• market conditions in our industry, the industries of our customers and the economy as a whole.

The sale of material amounts of common stock by our stockholders could encourage short sales by third parties
and depress the price of our common stock.

The downward pressure on our stock price caused by the sale of a significant number of shares of our common

stock, or the perception that such sales could occur, by any of our significant stockholders could cause our stock
price to decline, thus allowing short sellers of our stock an opportunity to take advantage of any decrease in the
value of our stock. The presence of short sellers in our common stock may further depress the price of our common
stock.

Future issuances of shares of our common stock could dilute the ownership interests of our stockholders.

Any issuance of equity securities could dilute the interests of our stockholders and could substantially decrease

the trading price of our common stock. We may issue equity securities in the future for a number of reasons,
including to finance our operations and business strategy (including in connection with acquisitions, strategic
collaborations or other transactions), to adjust our ratio of debt to equity, to satisfy our obligations upon the exercise
of outstanding options or for other reasons.

In August 2017, we issued $85.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes due

2022 (the “3.75% Convertible Notes”) under an indenture between us and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust
Company, N.A., as trustee. $53.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 3.75% Convertible Notes were issued to
certain holders of our outstanding Existing Notes in exchange for approximately $47.0 million aggregate principal
amount of the Existing Notes (the “Exchange”) and $32.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 3.75%
Convertible Notes were issued to certain other qualified new investors for cash. The net proceeds of the cash
issuance were used to repurchase approximately $28.0 million of Existing Notes. In February 2018, we paid
$40.2 million in cash to settle outstanding principal and accrued interest, and issued 254,000 shares of our common
stock to retire the Existing Notes. To the extent we issue common stock upon conversion of any outstanding
convertible notes, that conversion would dilute the ownership interests of our stockholders.

The conditional conversion features of the 3.75% Convertible Notes, if triggered, may adversely affect our
financial condition and operating results.

In the event the conditional conversion features of the 3.75% Convertible Notes are triggered, holders of the
3.75% Convertible Notes, as applicable, will be entitled to convert such notes at any time during specified periods at
their option. If one or more holders elect to convert such notes, unless we elect to satisfy our conversion obligation
by delivering solely shares of our common stock (other than paying solely cash in lieu of any fractional share),
including if we have irrevocably elected full physical settlement upon conversion, we would be required to make
cash payments to satisfy all or a portion of our conversion obligation based on the applicable conversion rate, which
could adversely affect our liquidity. In addition, even if holders do not elect to convert such notes, if we have
irrevocably elected net share settlement upon conversion we could be required under applicable accounting rules to
reclassify all or a portion of the outstanding principal of such notes as a current rather than long-term liability, which
could result in a material reduction of our net working capital.

55

Provisions in the indenture for the 3.75% Convertible Notes, the credit agreement for our Revolving Credit
Facility, our certificate of incorporation and our bylaws could discourage or prevent a takeover, even if an
acquisition would be beneficial in the opinion of our stockholders.

Provisions of our certificate of incorporation and bylaws could make it more difficult for a third-party to acquire

us, even if doing so would be beneficial in the opinion of our stockholders. These provisions include:

•

•

•

•

•

•

authorizing the issuance of “blank check” preferred stock that could be issued by our board of directors to
increase the number of outstanding shares and thwart a takeover attempt;

establishing a classified board of directors, which could discourage a takeover attempt;

prohibiting cumulative voting in the election of directors, which would limit the ability of less than a
majority of stockholders to elect director candidates;

limiting the ability of stockholders to call special meetings of stockholders;

prohibiting stockholder action by written consent and requiring that all stockholder actions be taken at a
meeting of our stockholders; and

establishing advance notice requirements for nominations for election to the board of directors or for
proposing matters that can be acted upon by stockholders at stockholder meetings.

In addition, Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law may discourage, delay or prevent a change of

control of our company. Generally, Section 203 prohibits stockholders who, alone or together with their affiliates
and associates, own more than 15% of the subject company from engaging in certain business combinations for a
period of three years following the date that the stockholder became an interested stockholder of such subject
company without approval of the board or 662/3% of the independent stockholders. The existence of these provisions
could adversely affect the voting power of holders of common stock and limit the price that investors might be
willing to pay in the future for shares of our common stock.

A change of control will also trigger an event of default under the Revolving Credit Facility. If an event of
default occurs, the agent for the lenders under the Revolving Credit Facility may, at its discretion, suspend or
terminate any of the lenders’ loan obligations thereunder and/or declare all or any portion of the loan
then-outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility, including all accrued but unpaid interest thereon, to be
accelerated and immediately due and payable.

Furthermore, if a “fundamental change” (as such term is defined in the indenture of the 3.75% Convertible Notes)
occurs, holders of the 3.75% Convertible Notes will have the right, at their option, to require us to repurchase all or a
portion of their convertible notes. A “fundamental change” generally occurs when there is a change in control of
Accuray (acquisition of 50% or more of our voting stock, liquidation or sale of Accuray not for stock in another
publicly traded company) or trading of our stock is terminated. In the event of a “make-whole fundamental change”
(as such term is defined in the indenture of the 3.75% Convertible Notes), we may also be required to increase the
conversion rate applicable to the 3.75% Convertible Notes surrendered for conversion in connection with such
make-whole fundamental change. A “make-whole fundamental change” is generally a sale of Accuray not for stock
in another publicly traded company. In addition, the indenture for the 3.75% Convertible Notes prohibits us from
engaging in certain mergers or acquisitions unless, among other things, the surviving entity assumes our obligations
under the 3.75% Convertible Notes.

We have not paid dividends in the past and do not expect to pay dividends in the foreseeable future.

We have never declared or paid cash dividends on our capital stock. We currently intend to retain all future
earnings for the operation and expansion of our business and, therefore, do not anticipate declaring or paying cash
dividends in the foreseeable future. The payment of dividends will be at the discretion of our board of directors and
will depend on our results of operations, capital requirements, financial condition, prospects, contractual
arrangements, and other factors our board of directors may deem relevant. If we do not pay dividends, a return on a
stockholders’ investment will only occur if our stock price appreciates.

Stock Information

Our common stock is traded on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbol “ARAY.”

We have never paid cash dividends on our common stock. Our Board of Directors intends to use any future
earnings to support operations and reinvest in the growth and development of our business. There are no current
plans to pay cash dividends to common stockholders in the foreseeable future.

As of August 15, 2019, there were 152 registered stockholders of record of our common stock. Because many of

our shares of common stock are held by brokers or other institutions on behalf of stockholders, we are unable to
estimate the total number of beneficial stockholders and believe the number of registered stockholders of record
underestimates our total number of stockholders.

During the year ended June 30, 2019, there were no sales of unregistered equity securities by us other than those
transactions previously reported to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on our Current Reports on Form
8-K.

We do not have a stock repurchase program and have not made any share repurchase during the year ended

June 30, 2019.

See Item 12, “Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder

Matters” for information regarding securities authorized for issuance under our equity compensation plans.

Item 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

You should read the following discussion of our consolidated financial condition and results of operations in
conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included elsewhere in this report. The following
discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs. Our actual results
could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or
contribute to these differences include those discussed below and elsewhere in this report on Form 10-K,
particularly in “Risk Factors.” See “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”

Overview

Products and Markets

Company

We are a radiation oncology company that develops, manufactures, sells and supports precise, innovative
treatment solutions that set the standard of care, with the aim of helping patients live longer, better lives. Our
leading-edge technologies, the CyberKnife and TomoTherapy Systems, including the Radixact Systems, the next
generation TomoTherapy platform, are designed to deliver advanced radiation therapy including radiosurgery,
stereotactic body radiation therapy, intensity modulated radiation therapy, image-guided radiation therapy and
adaptive radiation therapy tailored to the specific needs of each patient. The CyberKnife and TomoTherapy Systems
are complementary offerings serving largely separate patient populations treated by the same medical specialty,
radiation oncology. Both systems have advanced capabilities that offer increased treatment flexibility to meet the
needs of an expanding patient population including patients requiring retreatment with radiation therapy and
palliative care. We also offer comprehensive software solutions to enable and enhance the precise and efficient
radiosurgery and radiotherapy treatment with our CyberKnife and TomoTherapy Systems. In addition to these
products, we also provide services, which include post-contract customer support (warranty period services and post
warranty services), installation services, training, and other professional services.

The CyberKnife Systems

The CyberKnife Systems are robotic systems designed to deliver radiosurgery treatments to cancer tumors
anywhere in the body. The CyberKnife Systems are the only dedicated, full-body robotic radiosurgery systems on
the market. Radiosurgery is an alternative to traditional surgery for tumors and is performed on an outpatient basis in
one to five treatment sessions. It enables the treatment of patients who typically might not otherwise be treated with
radiation, who may not be good candidates for surgery, or who desire non-surgical treatments. The use of
radiosurgery with CyberKnife Systems to treat tumors throughout the body has grown significantly in recent years,
but currently only a small portion of the patients who develop tumors treatable with CyberKnife Systems are treated
with these systems. A determination of when it may or may not be appropriate to use a CyberKnife System for
treatment is at the discretion of the treating physician and depends on the specific patient. However, CyberKnife
Systems are generally not used to treat (1) very large tumors, which are considerably wider than the radiation beam
that can be delivered by CyberKnife Systems, (2) diffuse wide-spread disease, as is often the case for late stage
cancers, because they are not localized (though CyberKnife Systems might be used to treat a focal area of the
disease), and (3) systemic diseases, like leukemia and lymphoma, which are not localized to an organ, but rather
involve cells throughout the body.

Our CyberKnife M6 Series Systems have the option of: fixed collimator, Iris Variable Aperture Collimator
and/or multi-leaf collimator, or InCise MLC. The InCise MLC is designed specifically for the M6 Series. With the
InCise MLC, clinicians can deliver the same precise radiosurgery treatments they have come to expect with the
CyberKnife System, faster and for a wider range of tumor types than prior CyberKnife Systems. The InCise MLC
makes it faster and more efficient to treat a wider range of tumor types with the CyberKnife M6 Series System,
including larger tumors and those with multiple sites of disease.

61

Most recently, we introduced the VOLO Optimizer software upgrade for the CyberKnife System. The VOLO
facilitates the development of clinically optimal treatment plans up to 90 percent faster than before and the delivery
of the treatment up to an estimated 50 percent faster than before, allowing CyberKnife treatments to typically be
performed in 15 to 30 minutes.

We believe the long-term success of the CyberKnife Systems is dependent on a number of factors including the

following:

•

Continued adoption of our CyberKnife M6 Series Systems;

• Greater awareness among doctors and patients of the benefits of radiosurgery conducted with the CyberKnife

Systems;

•

•

•

•

Continued evolution in clinical studies demonstrating the safety, efficacy and other benefits of using the
CyberKnife Systems to treat tumors in various parts of the body;

Change in medical practice leading to utilization of stereotactic body radiosurgery more regularly as an
alternative to surgery or other treatments;

Continued advances in our technology that improve the quality of treatments and ease of use of the
CyberKnife Systems;

Receipt of regulatory approvals in various countries which are expected to improve access to radiosurgery
with the CyberKnife Systems in such countries;

• Medical insurance reimbursement policies that cover CyberKnife System treatments; and

• Our ability to expand sales of CyberKnife Systems in countries throughout the world where we do not

currently sell or have not historically sold a significant number of CyberKnife Systems.

TomoTherapy Systems, including Radixact, the next generation TomoTherapy platform

The TomoTherapy Systems are advanced, fully integrated and versatile radiation therapy systems for the

treatment of a wide range of cancer types. The TomoTherapy Systems are specifically designed for image-guided
intensity-modulated radiation therapy (“IG-IMRT”). The TomoTherapy Systems include the TomoTherapy H
Series Systems with configurations of TomoH, TomoHD, and TomoHDA. Based on a CT scanner platform, the
systems provide continuous delivery of radiation from 360 degrees around the patient, or delivery from clinician-
specified beam angles. These unique features, combined with daily 3D image guidance, enable physicians to deliver
highly accurate, individualized dose distributions which precisely conform to the shape of the patient’s tumor while
minimizing dose to normal, healthy tissue, resulting in fewer side effects for the patient. The TomoTherapy Systems
are capable of treating all standard radiation therapy indications including breast, prostate, lung, and head and neck
cancers, in addition to complex and novel treatments such as total marrow irradiation. The Radixact System, the
next generation TomoTherapy platform, includes our integrated Accuray Precision treatment planning software and
new iDMS Data Management System. The Radixact System leverages the TomoTherapy System’s efficient daily
low-dose fan beam MVCT image guidance and unique ring gantry architecture, delivering precise radiation
treatments for more patients, faster, with simpler, more automated workflows.

Most recently, Accuray introduced its Synchrony motion tracking and correction technology for the Radixact
System. This feature adds intrafraction motion synchronization capabilities to the Radixact System, enabling real-
time tracking, visualization and correction for tumor motion during treatment, with the goal of improving dose
accuracy and treatment times compared to conventional radiation therapy systems. We expect to ship Synchrony for
Radixact to selected clinical evaluation sites globally through the end of calendar year 2019, with broader
commercial launch in early calendar year 2020.

62

We believe the Radixact System and other TomoTherapy Systems offer clinicians and patients significant
benefits over other radiation therapy systems in the market. We believe our ability to capture more sales will be
influenced by a number of factors including the following:

•

Continued adoption of our TomoTherapy Systems, including the adoption of Radixact Systems in markets
where it is available;

• Greater awareness among doctors and patients of the unique benefits of radiation therapy using

TomoTherapy Systems because of their ring gantry architecture and ability to deliver treatment from 360
degrees around the patient;

• Advances in our technology that improve the quality of treatments and ease of use of TomoTherapy

Systems;

• Greater awareness among doctors of the now-established reliability of TomoTherapy Systems; and

• Our ability to expand sales of TomoTherapy Systems in countries throughout the world where we do not

currently sell or have not historically sold a significant number of TomoTherapy Systems.

Adoption of ASC 606

At the beginning of our fiscal year 2019, we adopted the new revenue recognition standard ASC 606, Revenues

from Contracts with Customers and applied the modified retrospective method. All financial statements and
disclosures for periods beginning and subsequent to July 1, 2018, have been adjusted to comply with ASC 606. See
Note 1. The Company and its Significant Accounting Policies, Note 2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements, and
Note 3. Revenue of the Notes to the consolidated financial statements, for additional information.

Sale of Our Products

Generating revenue from the sale of our systems is a lengthy process. Selling our systems, from first contact with

a potential customer to a signed sales contract that meets our backlog criteria (as discussed below) varies
significantly and generally spans between six months and two years. The length of time between receipt of a signed
contract and revenue recognition is generally governed by the time required by the customer to build, renovate or
prepare the treatment room for installation of the system.

In the United States, we primarily market directly to customers, including hospitals and stand-alone treatment
facilities, through our sales organization and we also market to customers through sales agents and group purchasing
organizations. Outside the United States, we market to customers directly and through distributors and sales agents.
In addition to our offices in the United States, we have sales and service offices in Europe, Asia, and South America.

Joint Venture

In January 2019, our wholly-owned subsidiary, Accuray Asia Limited (“Accuray Asia”), entered into an
agreement with CNNC High Energy Equipment (Tianjin) Co., Ltd. (the “CIRC Subsidiary”), a wholly-owned
subsidiary of China Isotope & Radiation Corporation, to form a joint venture, CNNC Accuray (Tianjin) Medical
Technology Co. Ltd. (the “JV”), to manufacture and sell radiation oncology systems in China. The JV aims to be
uniquely positioned to serve China, the world’s largest growth market for radiation oncology systems. China
represents a significantly underserved market for linacs based on the country’s population and cancer incidence rates
on both an absolute and relative country basis. Accuray Asia initially has a 49% ownership interest in the JV and the
CIRC Subsidiary initially has a 51% ownership interest in the joint venture.

In exchange for the initial 49% equity interest in the JV, we, through Accuray Asia, expect to make our initial
capital contribution to the JV in stages, to be completed by December 31, 2019 in the form of in-kind contributions
consisting of components for two full radiation oncology systems from our inventory. Any remaining amount of
capital contributions due, if not satisfied by such in-kind contributions, will be made by us, through Accuray Asia, in
accordance with the schedule set by the board of directors of the JV.

63

In July 2019, the JV broke ground on its facilty based in Tianjin, China, expected to serve as headquarters and

home of the sales organization and service operations. Also in July 2019, the JV received the Radiation Safety
License from the China Ministry of Environmental Protection. This license, along with the license to do business in
China received in April 2019 and the Medical Device Operating Permit received in June 2019, enables the JV to sell
and install our radiation therapy devices in China.

With the receipt of the necessary permits and licenses to operate, the JV has begun selling products in China,

much like a distributor. In the long term, we anticipate that the JV will manufacture and sell a locally branded
“Made in China” radiotherapy device in the Class B license category, which would replace our current offering in
that category. We believe this strategy will allow us to best maximize both near and longer-term opportunities in
China.

We are assessing the accounting treatment of our investment in the JV and expect to apply the equity method of
accounting to the ownership interest in the JV as we have the ability to exercise significant influence over the JV but
lack controlling financial interest and are not the primary beneficiary. We will recognize revenue on sales to the JV
in the current period, eliminating a portion of profit to the extent goods sold have not been sold through by the JV to
an end customer at the end of each reporting period. We will recognize the 49% proportionate share of the JV
income or loss on a one-quarter lag due to the timing of the availability of the JV’s financial records.

Backlog

Effective at the beginning of our fiscal year 2019, we updated our backlog policy to include certain upgrades sold

through service contracts. As a result, the portion of the order that is recognizable as product revenue and upgrades
sold on service contracts are reported as backlog. The portion of the order that is recognized as other service revenue
(for example, Post-Contract Customer Support (PCS), installation, training and professional services) is not included
in reported backlog. As of June 30, 2019, backlog totaled $495.6 million, of which $1.0 million represented
upgrades sold through service contracts. As of June 30, 2018, backlog totaled $478.5 million.

In order for the product portion of a system sales agreement to be counted as backlog, it must meet the following

criteria:

•

The contract is properly executed by both the customer and us. A customer purchase order that incorporates
the terms of our contract quote will be considered equivalent to a signed and executed contract. The contract
has either cleared all its contingencies or contained no contingencies when signed;

• We have received a minimum deposit or a letter of credit; or the sale is to a customer where a deposit is

deemed not necessary or customary (i.e. sale to a government entity, a large hospital, group of hospitals or
cancer care group that has sufficient credit, customers with trade-in of existing equipment, sales via tender
awards, or indirect channel sales that have signed contracts with end-customers);

•

•

The specific end customer site has been identified by the customer in the written contract or written
amendment; and

Less than 2.5 years have passed since the contract met all the criteria above.

Although our backlog includes only contractual agreements with our customers for the purchase of CyberKnife
Systems, TomoTherapy Systems, including Radixact Systems and related upgrades, we cannot provide assurance
that we will convert backlog into recognized revenue due primarily to factors outside of our control. The amount of
backlog recognized into revenue is primarily impacted by three items: cancellations, age-outs and foreign currency
fluctuations. Orders could be cancelled for reasons including, without limitation, changes in customers’ needs or
financial condition, changes in government or health insurance reimbursement policies, or changes to regulatory
requirements. In addition to cancellations, after 2.5 years, if we have not been able to recognize revenue on a
contract, we remove the revenue associated with the contract from backlog and the order is considered aged out.
Contracts may age-out for many reasons, including but not limited to, inability of the customer to pay, inability of
the customer to adapt their facilities to accommodate our products in a timely manner, or inability to timely obtain
licenses necessary for customer facilities or operation of our equipment. Our backlog also includes amounts not
denominated in U.S. Dollars and therefore fluctuations in the U.S. Dollar as compared to other currencies will
impact revenue. Generally, strengthening of the U.S. Dollar will negatively impact revenue. Backlog is stated at
historical foreign currency exchange rates, and revenue is released from backlog at current exchange rates, with any
difference recorded as a backlog adjustment.

Gross orders are defined as the sum of new orders recorded during the period adjusted for any revisions to

existing orders during the period.

Gross orders increased by $37.4 million for the year ended June 30, 2019, as compared to the year ended June 30,
2018. This was primarily a result of an increase of $31.6 million in new system order volume compared to the same
prior year period, primarily related to a $17.5 million increase of TomoTherapy System orders, particularly Radixact
System orders, a $14.1 million increase in CyberKnife System orders and an increase of $5.8 million in upgrade
orders and other amendments to the terms of our contracts as compared to the same prior year period.

Gross orders increased by $6.5 million for the year ended June 30, 2018, as compared to the year ended June 30,
2017. This was primarily a result of an increase of $7.7 million in new system order volume compared to the same
prior year period, primarily driven by a $17.3 million increase of TomoTherapy System orders driven by Radixact
System, which was introduced in the second half of fiscal 2017, offset by a $9.6 million decrease in CyberKnife
System orders. The increase was also offset by a $1.2 million decrease in upgrade orders and other amendments to
the terms of our contracts as compared to the same prior year period.

Net Orders

Net orders are defined as gross orders less cancellations, age-outs, foreign exchange and other adjustments during

the period.

Net orders increased by $8.7 million for the year ended June 30, 2019, as compared to the year ended June 30,

2018, resulting from an increase in gross orders of $37.4 million, offset by net age-outs of $27.0 million, and
cancellations of $2.4 million.

•

•

The net age-outs for the year ended June 30, 2019 were $95.5 million. There were $12.0 million age-ins,
which represent orders that previously aged-out but have been taken to revenue in the current period. Age-
ins offset the gross amount of age-outs in a particular period.

There were $25.0 million and $22.6 million in cancellations in the year ended June 30, 2019 and June 30,
2018, respectively. Cancellations are outside of our control and are difficult to forecast; however, we
continue to work closely with our customers to minimize the impact of cancellations on our business.

• Other adjustments and foreign currency impacts decreased net orders by $3.6 million and by $4.3 million for

the year ended June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018, respectively.

65

Net orders decreased by $17.0 million for the year ended June 30, 2018, as compared to the year ended June 30,

2017, resulting from an increase in net age-outs of $10.8 million, an increase in cancellations of $8.8 million, and
foreign currency and other adjustments of $3.9 million, offset by an increase in gross orders of $6.5 million.

•

•

The net age-outs for the year ended June 30, 2018 were $68.5 million. There were $9.1 million age-ins,
which represent orders that previously aged-out but have been taken to revenue in the current period. Age-
ins offset the gross amount of age-outs in a particular period.

There were $22.6 million and $13.8 million in cancellations in the years ended June 30, 2018 and June 30,
2017, respectively. Cancellations are outside of our control and are difficult to forecast; however, we
continue to work closely with our customers to minimize the impact of cancellations on our business.

• Other adjustments and foreign currency impacts decreased net orders by $4.3 million and by $0.4 million for

the year ended June 30, 2018 and June 30, 2017, respectively.

In recent years, the percentage of gross orders received from our distribution partners in the international markets

represented 83%, 70%, and75% of gross orders for fiscal year ended June 30, 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
We anticipate that distributor orders from international markets will continue to represent a significant portion of our
gross orders in the foreseeable future. International orders are affected by foreign currency fluctuation as well as
government programs that stimulate the purchase of healthcare products, both of which could affect the demand for
our products and timing of orders from period to period. In addition, our order-to-revenue conversion cycle for
international distributor orders has been generally longer compared to that of direct channel sales and could cause
fluctuations in our age-outs from period to period.

Net revenue

Product Net Revenue

Product net revenue increased by $12.8 million, or 7%, as compared to the year ended June 30, 2018. The
increase was due to an increase of $34.0 million from higher unit volume sales of TomoTherapy Systems as
compared to the prior year. The increase in TomoTherapy System sales was partially offset by a decrease in
CyberKnife System sales of $19.5 million and a decrease in upgrade and other revenue of $1.7 million.

Service Net Revenue

Service net revenue increased by $1.1 million, or 1%, as compared to the year ended June 30, 2018. The increase

was primarily driven by a $3.1 million increase of service contract revenue offset by a decrease of $2.0 million in
upgrade, installation, and spare parts revenue.

The overall gross profit margin for the year ended June 30, 2019 was 39% as compared to the gross profit of 40%
for the year ended June 30, 2018, primarily due to a decrease in product gross profit. Product gross margin was 41%
for the year ended June 30, 2019 as compared to 44% for the year ended June 30, 2018, primarily due to increased
sales of Radixact Systems, which have a lower profit margin than CyberKnife Systems.

Research and development expenses

Research and development expenses decreased $0.8 million, or 1%, for the year ended June 30, 2019 as
compared to the year ended June 30, 2018. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease of $2.6 million in
compensation and benefits expenses due to lower headcount and a decrease in travel expenses of $0.3 million,
partially offset by a $2.2 million expense related to a project that was terminated.

We anticipate research and development expenses in fiscal 2020 will be slightly lower in absolute dollars than

fiscal 2019 based on our current development roadmap.

Selling and marketing expenses

Selling and marketing expenses decreased $4.1 million, or 7%, for the year ended June 30, 2019 as compared to
the year ended June 30, 2018. The decrease was mainly due to a decrease of $3.0 million in compensation expense
due to reduced headcount and a reduction in travel costs of $0.9 million.

We anticipate selling and marketing expenses in fiscal 2020 will be slightly higher in absolute dollars compared

to fiscal 2019 due to higher expenses related to new product launches and incremental headcount.

67

General and administrative expenses

General and administrative expenses increased $1.4 million, or 3%, for the year ended June 30, 2019 as

compared to the year ended June 30, 2018. The increase was due to an increase of $3.6 million in bad debt expense,
offset by a decrease of $2.2 million in compensation expense due to lower headcount.

We anticipate general and administrative expenses in fiscal 2020 will be lower in absolute dollars than fiscal

2019 due to the reduction in bad debt expense.

Other expense, net

Other expense, net decreased $4.3 million, or 22%, for the year ended June 30, 2019 as compared to the year
ended June 30, 2018. The decrease was primarily due to a $3.5 million decrease in loss on extinguishment of debt
that occurred in fiscal 2018 as a result of the retirement of our 3.50% Convertible Notes and 3.50% Series A
Convertible Notes, a $0.4 million increase in interest income, and a $0.3 million decrease in foreign exchange
losses.

Provision for income taxes

The provision for income taxes was higher in fiscal 2019 as compared to fiscal 2018 due to higher foreign
earnings. In both fiscal 2019 and 2018, we released tax benefits related to final tax assessments from the Swiss tax
authorities for the period from fiscal 2011 through fiscal 2017, which decreased our foreign taxes.

At June 30, 2019, we had federal and state net operating loss carryforwards of $330.9 million and $131.6 million,
respectively. These federal and state net operating loss carryforwards are available to offset future taxable income, if
any, in varying amounts and will begin to expire in 2025 for federal and 2020 for state purposes. We also had
federal and state research and development tax credit carryforwards of approximately $20.6 million and
$20.1 million, respectively. If not utilized, the federal research credits will begin to expire in 2020, the California
research credits have no expiration date and the other state research credits will begin to expire in 2020. Realization
of the deferred tax assets, among other factors, is dependent on our ability to generate sufficient taxable income
prior to the expiration of the carryforwards. Because of the inconsistent history of net operating income as adjusted
for permanent differences, we cannot conclude that the net domestic deferred tax assets will more likely than not be
realized. Accordingly, we have recorded a full valuation allowance against our domestic net deferred tax assets.

In December 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (Tax Act) was signed into law, which significantly

amends the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, among other things reduces the corporate tax rate from a top marginal
rate of 35% to a flat rate of 21%, imposes a one-time tax on offshore earnings at reduced rates regardless of whether
they are repatriated, limits the tax deduction for interest expense to 30% of adjusted tax earnings, eliminates net
operating loss carrybacks, and allows for federal net operating losses (“NOL”) to be carried over indefinitely for
NOL generated after December 31, 2017.

As permitted by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 ("SAB 118"),
we have completed the accounting analysis based on the guidance, interpretations, and data available as of June 30,
2019. We finalized the assessment of the transitional impacts of the Tax Act, which did not impact our tax expense
for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019. Any future legislative changes, as well as any other new or proposed
Treasury regulations, which have yet to be issued, will continue to be assessed and evaluated.

The Tax Act has a requirement that certain income earned by controlled foreign corporations (“CFCs”) must be
included currently in the gross income of the CFC’s U.S. shareholder. The income required to be included in gross
income is referred to as global intangible low tax income (“GILTI”) and is defined under Internal Revenue Code
(“IRC”) Section 951A as the excess of the shareholder’s net CFC tested income over the net deemed tangible
income return. The GILTI inclusion amount has been absorbed by net operating losses. We made a policy decision
to record GILTI tax as a current-period expense when incurred.

The Tax Act also enacted the Base Erosion and Anti-Abuse Tax (“BEAT”). The BEAT minimum tax under IRC
Section 59A is applicable to the extent that the BEAT tax amount is greater than the regular corporate tax for a given
year. This tax is applicable to companies with prior 3-year average annual gross receipts exceeding $500 million.
We currently do not meet this threshold since our current average annual gross receipts is less than $500 million.

Net revenue

Product Net Revenue

Product net revenue increased by $4.3 million, or 2%, as compared to the year ended June 30, 2017. The increase

was due to an increase of $14.5 million from higher unit volume and higher average pricing per system of the
CyberKnife Systems as compared to the prior year. The increase in system sales for CyberKnife was partially offset
by a decrease in TomoTherapy System sales of $8.5 million and a decrease in upgrade and other revenue of $1.9
million.

Service Net Revenue

Services net revenue increased by $17.2 million, or 8%, as compared to the year ended June 30, 2017. The

increase was mainly driven by a $10.4 million and $4.9 million attributable to increases in our system installed base
revenue and upgrade revenue, respectively, together with an increase in spare parts sales of $2.1 million. These
increases were offset by an immaterial decrease in training revenue.

Gross profit

The overall gross profit margin for the year ended June 30, 2018 was 40% as compared to the gross profit of 37%
for the year ended June 30, 2017, primarily due to an increase in system sales profit. Product gross margin was 44%
for the year ended June 30, 2018 as compared to 37% for the year ended June 30, 2017, primarily due to higher unit
volume, higher average selling price of our latest generation platforms and product mix together with an $8.0
million decrease of intangible amortization related to the acquisition of TomoTherapy Incorporated, which was fully
amortized in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017. Service gross margin remained flat as compared to prior year.

Research and development expenses

Research and development expenses increased $7.3 million, or 15%, for the year ended June 30, 2018 as

compared to the year ended June 30, 2017. The increase was primarily due to $6.0 million of higher compensation
and benefits expenses due to an increase in headcount, $1.1 million of higher project related spending, and a $0.2
million increase in travel expense.

Selling and marketing expenses

Selling and marketing expenses increased $2.6 million, or 5%, for the year ended June 30, 2018 as compared to
the year ended June 30, 2017. The increase was mainly due to an increase of $2.2 million in compensation expense
due to increased headcount and higher commissions related to increased revenue and a $0.4 million increase in
travel and marketing related expenses.

General and administrative expenses

General and administrative expenses increased $4.4 million, or 10%, for the year ended June 30, 2018 as

compared to the year ended June 30, 2017. The increase was due to $2.3 million of higher compensation due to an
increase in headcount, $1.9 million of higher consulting fees and strategic business development projects, and a $0.2
million increase in technology expenses.

Other expense, net

Other expense, net increased $0.5 million, or 3%, for the year ended June 30, 2018 as compared to the year ended

June 30, 2017. The increase was primarily due to a net $2.5 million increase in loss on extinguishment of debt that
occurred in the first and third quarters of fiscal 2018, a $0.4 million decrease in interest income, and a $0.2 million
increase in loss on sale of our investments. The increase was mostly offset by a $2.3 million reduction in debt
interest expense due to retirement of certain of our convertible notes in fiscal 2018 and a $0.3 million decrease in
foreign exchange losses.

Provision for income taxes

The provision for income taxes was lower in fiscal 2018 as compared to fiscal 2017 due to lower foreign
earnings. In both fiscal 2018 and 2017, we had tax benefits related to final tax assessments from the Swiss tax
authorities for the period from fiscal 2011 through fiscal 2016, which decreased our foreign taxes.

At June 30, 2018, we had federal and state net operating loss carryforwards of $329.7 million and $146.8 million,
respectively. These federal and state net operating loss carryforwards are available to offset future taxable income, if
any, in varying amounts and will begin to expire in 2019. We also had federal and state research and development
tax credit carryforwards of approximately $18.9 million and $19.2 million, respectively. If not utilized, the federal
research credits will begin to expire in 2019, the California research credits have no expiration date and the other
state research credits began to expire in 2014. Realization of the deferred tax assets, among other factors, is
dependent on our ability to generate sufficient taxable income prior to the expiration of the carryforwards. Because
of the inconsistent history of net operating income as adjusted for permanent differences, we cannot conclude that
the net domestic deferred tax assets will more likely than not be realized. Accordingly, we have recorded a full
valuation allowance against our domestic net deferred tax assets.

70

Share-Based Compensation Expense

In fiscal 2019, 2018 and 2017, we recorded share-based compensation expense of $10.6 million, $12.3 million

and $13.6 million, respectively, related to awards under our stock incentive plans. Share-based compensation
expense was recorded net of estimated forfeitures. As of June 30, 2019, we had approximately $18.9 million of
unrecognized compensation expense, net of estimated forfeitures, related to unvested stock options, shares under our
Employee Stock Purchase Plan, or ESPP, restricted stock units, or RSUs, and market stock units, or MSUs, which
we expect to recognize over a weighted average period from 0.8 to 3.25 years.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At June 30, 2019, we had $76.8 million in cash and cash equivalents. Cash from operations could be affected by

various risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to the risks included in Part I, Item 1A titled “Risk
Factors.” Also refer to Note 10, Debt to the consolidated financial statements for discussion of the Revolving Credit
Facility, our 3.75% Convertible Notes and Term Loan outstanding as of June 30, 2019. Based on our cash and cash
equivalents balance, available debt facilities, current business plan and revenue prospects, we believe that we will
have sufficient cash resources and anticipated cash flows to fund our operations for at least the next 12 months.

In addition, the undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries at June 30, 2019, are considered to be

indefinitely reinvested and unavailable for distribution in the form of dividends or otherwise. Future repatriation of
the Company’s foreign earnings are subject to income taxes. We anticipate that we have adequate liquidity and
capital resources and would not need to repatriate earnings. As of June 30, 2019, we had approximately
$50.1 million of cash and cash equivalents at our foreign subsidiaries.

In January 2019, Accuray Asia Limited, one of our wholly-owned subsidiaries, entered into a joint venture
contract with CNNC High Energy Equipment (Tianjin) Co., Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of China Isotope &
Radiation Corporation, to form a joint venture in China. We do not anticipate the JV will have a material impact on
our working capital needs in the next 12 months.

Cash Flows From Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities was $29.6 million in fiscal 2019, resulting primarily from a net change in
operating assets and liabilities of $44.6 million and non-cash items of $31.5 million that was offset by a net loss of
$16.4 million.

• Non-cash items consisted primarily of stock-based compensation expense of $10.6 million, depreciation and
amortization expense of $10.5 million, non-cash interest expenses on debt of $4.9 million, provision for bad
debt of $3.7 million, and write down of inventories of $2.3 million.

•

The net change in operating assets and liabilities was primarily due to a $46.2 million increase in accounts
receivable due to the payment terms and timing of revenue transactions and cash collection, an increase of
$14.2 million in inventories to support anticipated product shipments in future periods, an increase of
$13.0 million in prepaid and other assets primarily due to incremental costs of obtaining contracts capitalized
under ASC 606, and a decrease of $2.5 million in customer advances due to the timing and receipts of new
deposits. This was partially offset by an increase of $10.7 million in accrued liabilities and an increase of
$9.5 million in accounts payable due to timing of payments.

71

Net cash provided by operating activities was $18.3 million in fiscal 2018, resulting primarily from a net change
in operating assets and liabilities of $10.0 million and non-cash items of $32.2 million that was offset by a net loss
of $23.9 million.

• Non-cash items consisted primarily of stock-based compensation expense of $12.3 million; depreciation and

amortization expense of $9.7 million; non-cash interest expenses on debt of $5.0 million, loss on
extinguishment of debt of $3.5 million, and write down of inventories of $1.6 million.

•

The net change in operating assets and liabilities was primarily due to a $7.2 million decrease in accounts
receivable due to the timing of revenue transactions and cash collection, a $6.2 million increase in customer
advances due to the timing and new deposit receipts, and a $4.2 million decrease in prepaid and other assets.
This was partially offset by a $8.7 million increase in inventory to support anticipated product shipments in
future periods and a net $2.5 million decrease in deferred revenue.

Net cash used in operating activities was $0.4 million in fiscal 2017 and consisted of a net loss of $29.6 million,
non-cash items of $41.7 million, and a net change in operating assets and liabilities of $12.5 million. Non-cash items
consisted primarily of depreciation and amortization expense of $18.0 million, stock-based compensation expense of
$13.6 million; non-cash interest expenses on debt of $7.8 million and write down of inventories of $2.3 million. The
significant items in the change in operating assets and liabilities include cash used resulting from increases in
accounts receivable of $15.7 million and other current and non-current assets of $4.4 million. These uses of cash
were offset in part by an increase in accounts payable of $2.2 million and accrued liabilities of $8.3 million, which
was offset by a decrease in deferred revenue of $8.7 million and customer advances of $5.2 million as well as a
decrease in inventories of $7.7 million. The increase in accounts receivable was a function of the timing of payments
from customers driven by longer payment terms offered.

Cash Flows From Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $4.3 million in fiscal 2019, which primarily consisted of purchases of

property and equipment.

Net cash provided by investing activities was $17.8 million in fiscal 2018, which primarily consisted of sales and
maturities of short-term investments of $30.3 million, offset by purchases of investments of $5.9 million, purchases
of property and equipment of $6.3 million, and payment of intangible assets of $0.3 million.

Net cash provided by investing activities was $17.8 million in fiscal 2017, which primarily consisted of sales and
maturities of short-term investments of $38.2 million, offset by purchases of investments of $15.0 million, purchases
of property and equipment of $5.0 million and purchase of intangible assets of $0.3 million.

Cash Flows From Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities during fiscal 2019 was $28.5 million, which was primarily due to

$20.0 million of net debt proceeds related to a draw under the Term Loan, a net $4.6 million increase in borrowings
under our Revolving Credit Facility, and $3.9 million in proceeds from employee stock plans.

Net cash used in financing activities during fiscal 2018 was $27.5 million, which was primarily due to

$69.8 million paid to repurchase and retire our 3.50% Convertible Notes and 3.50% Series A Convertible Notes and
$27.9 million used to pay down the Revolving Credit Facility. These expenses were offset by $66.1 million of net
debt proceeds related to the Term Loan and issuance of the 3.75% Convertible Notes and $4.1 million in proceeds
from employee stock plans.

Net cash used in financing activities during fiscal 2017 was $54.5 million, primarily attributable to

$105.2 million in payments to convertible note holders and in connection with our term-loan with Cerberus Business
Finance, LLC, and $1.4 million of taxes paid related to net share settlement of equity awards, offset by $48.3 million
proceeds from our Revolving Credit Facility and $3.8 million from proceeds from employee stock plans.

Operating Capital and Capital Expenditure Requirements

Our future capital requirements depend on numerous factors. These factors include but are not limited to the

following:

•

•

•

•

•

•

Revenue generated by sales of our products and service plans;

Costs associated with our sales and marketing initiatives and manufacturing activities;

Facilities, equipment and IT systems required to support current and future operations;

Rate of progress and cost of our research and development activities;

Costs of obtaining and maintaining FDA and other regulatory clearances of our products;

Effects of competing technological and market developments;

• Number and timing of acquisitions and other strategic transactions; and

•

Servicing and maturity of our current future indebtedness.

We believe that our current cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash needs for

working capital and capital expenditures for at least the next 12 months. If these sources of cash and cash
equivalents are insufficient to satisfy our liquidity requirements, we may seek to sell additional equity or debt
securities or enter into additional credit facilities. The sale of additional equity or convertible debt securities could
result in dilution to our stockholders. If additional funds are raised through the issuance of debt securities, these
securities could have rights senior to those associated with our common stock and could contain covenants that
would restrict our operations. Additional financing may not be available at all, or in amounts or on terms acceptable
to us. If we are unable to obtain this additional financing, we may be required to reduce the scope of our planned
product development and marketing efforts.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

The following is a schedule summarizing our obligations to make future payments under contractual obligations
as of June 30, 2019. Refer to Note 10, Debt in Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8, Part II, of

Our purchase commitments and obligations include all open purchase orders and contractual obligations in the
ordinary course of business, including commitments with contract manufacturers and suppliers, for which we have
not received the goods or services and acquisition and licensing of intellectual property. A majority of these
purchase obligations are due within a year. Although open purchase orders are considered enforceable and legally
binding, the terms generally allow us the option to cancel, reschedule, and adjust our requirements based on our
business needs prior to the delivery of goods or performance of services, and hence, have not been included in the
table above.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off balance sheet arrangements for the years ended June 30, 2019, 2018, or 2017.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our consolidated
financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America (U.S. GAAP). The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires
management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, as well as revenue
and expenses during the reporting periods. We evaluate our estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis. We base
our estimates on historical experience and on various other factors we believe are reasonable under the
circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and
liabilities. Actual results could therefore differ materially from those estimates if actual conditions differ from our
assumptions.

All of our significant accounting policies and methods used in the preparation of our consolidated financial
statements are described in Note 1, The Company and its Significant Accounting Policies, to the consolidated
financial statements. The methods, estimates and judgments that we use in applying our accounting policies require
us to make difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates regarding matters that
are inherently uncertain. Management believes the critical accounting policies and estimates are those related to
revenue recognition, business combinations and assessment of recoverability of goodwill and intangible assets,
valuation of inventories, share-based compensation expense, convertible notes, income taxes, allowance for doubtful
accounts and loss contingencies.

Concentration of Credit and Other Risks

Our cash and cash equivalents are deposited with several major financial institutions. At times, deposits in these
institutions exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits. We have not experienced any losses in such
accounts and do not believe that we are exposed to any significant risk of loss on these balances.

For the years ended June 30, 2019, 2018, and 2017, there were no customers that represented 10% or more of
total net revenue. We had one customer at June 30, 2019 and no customers at June 30, 2018 that accounted for more
than 10% of our total accounts receivable, net.

We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers and maintain reserves for potential credit losses.
Accounts receivable are deemed past due in accordance with the contractual terms of the agreement. Accounts
receivable balances are charged against the allowance for doubtful accounts once collection efforts are unsuccessful.

Single-source suppliers presently provide us with several components. In most cases, if a supplier was unable to

deliver these components, we believe that we would be able to find other sources for these components subject to
any regulatory qualifications, if required.

74

Revenue Recognition

Our revenue is primarily derived from sales of CyberKnife and TomoTherapy Systems and services, which
include PCS, installation services, training and other professional services. We record our revenue net of any value
added or sales tax. We recognize revenue for certain performance obligations at the point in time when control is
transferred, such as delivery of products. We recognize revenue for certain other performance obligations over a
period of time as control of the goods or services is transferred, such as PCS and construction contracts. Payments
received in advance of system shipment are recorded as customer advances and are deferred until product shipment
when they are recognized in revenue. We assess the probability of collection based on a number of factors, including
past transaction history with the customer and credit-worthiness of the customer. We generally do not request
collateral from our customers.

We frequently enter into sales arrangements that contain multiple elements or deliverables. For sale arrangements

that contain multiple elements, we account for individual products and services separately if a product or service is
separately identifiable from other items in the bundled package and if a customer can benefit from it on its own or
with other resources that are readily available to the customer. The stand-alone selling price (“SSP”) is determined
based on observable prices at which we separately sell the products and services. If an SSP is not directly
observable, then we will estimate the SSP considering market conditions, entity-specific factors, and information
about the customer or class of customer that is reasonably available.

Product Revenue

The majority of product revenue is generated from sales of CyberKnife and TomoTherapy Systems, including
Radixact Systems. Revenue is recognized once the performance obligations are satisfied by transferring control of
the product to a customer, which is generally upon delivery.

We record revenue from sales of systems, product upgrades and accessories to our customers based on the
general terms and conditions of the executed sales and distribution agreements as well as the specific terms and
conditions executed for each sale, and once the performance obligations are satisfied by transferring control of the
product to a customer.

We record revenue considering all discounts given to, or expected by, customers. As a result, management may
make estimates of potential future product returns or trade ins and other allowances related to product revenue in the
current period. In general, we do not allow returns from customers and all discounts and allowances are clearly
identified in the terms and conditions of each sale.

Service Revenue

Service revenue is generated primarily from PCS contracts (warranty period services and post warranty services),

installation services, training and professional services. Service revenue is recognized either ratably over the
contractual period as control and benefit transfer to the customer or when service is performed, depending on
specific terms and conditions in agreements with customers.

Costs associated with service revenue are expensed when incurred, except when those costs are related to system

upgrades purchased within a service contract. In those cases, the costs of such upgrades are recognized at the time
the upgrade revenue is recognized.

Refer to Note 2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements and Note 3. Revenue to our consolidated financial
statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for further information on our adoption of ASC 606.

75

Assessment of Recoverability of Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of tangible and identified intangible net

assets of businesses acquired. Goodwill is not amortized, but is evaluated for impairment on an annual basis and
when impairment indicators are present. We have one operating segment and one reporting unit. Therefore, our
consolidated net assets, including existing goodwill and other intangible assets, are considered to be the carrying
value of the reporting unit. We estimate the fair value of the reporting unit based on the closing price of our common
stock on the trading day closest to the annual review date multiplied by the outstanding shares on that date. If the
carrying value of the reporting unit is in excess of its fair value, an impairment may exist, and we must perform the
second step of the analysis, in which the implied fair value of the goodwill is compared to its carrying value to
determine the impairment charge, if any. If the estimated fair value of the reporting unit exceeds the carrying value
of the reporting unit, goodwill is not impaired and no further analysis is required.

We make judgments about the recoverability of purchased intangible assets with finite lives whenever events or

changes in circumstances indicate that impairment may exist. Recoverability of purchased intangible assets with
finite lives is measured by comparing the carrying amount of the asset to the future undiscounted cash flows the
asset is expected to generate. Impairment, if any, is measured as the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the
fair value of the impaired asset. We review indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment annually or whenever
events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. If the asset is considered to
be impaired, the amount of any impairment is measured as the difference between the carrying value and the fair
value of the impaired asset.

Assumptions and estimates about future values and remaining useful lives of our purchased intangible assets are
complex and subjective. They can be affected by a variety of factors, including external factors such as industry and
economic trends and internal factors such as changes in our business strategy and our internal forecasts.

Valuation of Inventories

The valuation of inventory requires us to estimate obsolete or excess inventory as well as damaged inventory.
The determination of obsolete or excess inventory requires us to estimate the future demand for our products. We
regularly review inventory quantities on hand and adjust for excess and obsolete inventory based primarily on
historical usage rates and our estimates of product demand to support future sales and service. If our demand
forecast for specific products is greater than actual demand and we fail to reduce purchasing and manufacturing
output accordingly, we could be required to write off inventory beyond the current reserve, which would negatively
impact our gross margin.

Share-Based Compensation Expense

We use the Black-Scholes option valuation model to estimate the fair value of stock options and ESPP shares.

This valuation model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions, the most significant of which is our
estimates of expected volatility and the expected term of the award. Our expected volatility is derived from the
historical volatilities of our common stock. We estimate the expected term of stock option by taking the average of
the vesting term and the contractual term of the option, as illustrated by the simplified method. We use the
Monte-Carlo simulation model to estimate the fair value of Market Stock Units (MSUs). The assumptions used in
calculating the fair value of share-based payment awards represent management’s best estimates, but these estimates
involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management judgment. As a result, if factors change and we
use different assumptions, our share-based compensation expense could be materially different in the future.

We recognize compensation cost for only those shares expected to vest over the requisite service period of the
award. We estimate our forfeiture rate based on an analysis of our actual forfeitures and will continue to evaluate the
appropriateness of the forfeiture rate based on recent forfeiture activity and expected future employee turnover.
Changes in the estimated forfeiture rate can have a significant effect on reported share-based compensation expense,
as the cumulative effect of adjusting the rate for all expense amortization is recognized in the period the forfeiture
estimate is changed.

76

Convertible Notes

We account for convertible notes in accordance with applicable guidance which specifies that an issuer of such
instruments should separately account for the liability and equity component of the conversion option. The amount
recorded as debt is based on the fair value of the debt component as a standalone instrument, determined using an
average interest rate for similar nonconvertible debt issued by entities with credit ratings comparable to ours at the
time of issuance. The difference between the debt recorded at inception and its principal amount is accreted to
principal during the estimated life of the note. ASC 470-50, provides guidance on modifications to or exchanges of
line-of-credit or revolving arrangements which should be evaluated based on borrowing.

Income Taxes

We determine our current and deferred tax provisions based on estimates and assumptions that could differ from
the actual results reflected in our income tax returns filed during the subsequent year. We record adjustments based
on filed returns when we have identified and finalized them, which is generally in the fourth quarter of the
subsequent year for U.S. federal and state provisions. We have placed a full valuation allowance on all net U.S.
deferred tax assets because realization of these tax benefits through future taxable income cannot be reasonably
assured. We intend to maintain the valuation allowance until sufficient positive evidence exists to support the
reversal of the valuation allowance. Any decision to reverse part or all of the valuation allowance would be based on
our estimate of future profitability. If our estimate were to be wrong, we could be required to charge potentially
significant amounts to income tax expense to establish a new valuation allowance.

Our effective tax rate does not include the impact of undistributed foreign earnings for which we have not
provided income taxes because we plan to reinvest such earnings indefinitely outside the United States. We have
estimated whether there is a need for foreign earnings remittance amounts based on projected cash flow needs as
well as the working capital and long-term investment requirements of our foreign subsidiaries and our domestic
operations. Material changes in our estimates of cash, working capital and long-term investment requirements in the
various jurisdictions in which we do business could impact our effective tax rate. We are subject to income taxes in
the United States and certain foreign countries, and we are subject to corporate income tax audits in some of these
jurisdictions. We believe that our tax return positions are fully supported, but tax authorities are likely to challenge
certain positions, which may not be fully sustained. However, our income tax expense includes amounts intended to
satisfy income tax assessments that result from these challenges. Determining the income tax expense for these
potential assessments and recording the related assets and liabilities requires management judgments and estimates.
We evaluate our uncertain tax positions in accordance with the guidance for accounting for uncertainty in income
taxes. We believe that our reserve for uncertain tax positions is adequate. We review our reserves quarterly, and we
may adjust such reserves because of proposed assessments by tax authorities, changes in facts and circumstances,
issuance of new regulations or new case law, previously unavailable information obtained during the course of an
examination, negotiations between tax authorities of different countries concerning our transfer prices, or the
expiration of statutes of limitations.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

We evaluate the creditworthiness of our customers prior to authorizing shipment for all major sale transactions.
On a quarterly basis, we evaluate aged items in the accounts receivable aging report and provide an allowance in an
amount we deem adequate for doubtful accounts. If our evaluation of our customers’ financial conditions does not
reflect our future ability to collect outstanding receivables, additional provisions may be needed and our operating
results could be negatively affected.

Loss Contingencies

As discussed in Note 9. Commitments and Contingencies, to the consolidated financial statements, we are
involved in various lawsuits, claims and proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. We record a
provision for a liability when we believe that it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can
be reasonably estimated. We provide disclosure if it is reasonably possible that a loss has been incurred and a range
of loss or possible loss can be reasonably estimated. Significant judgment is required to determine both probability
and the estimated amount. We review these provisions at least quarterly and adjust these provisions to reflect the
impact of negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel, and updated information. Litigation is
inherently unpredictable and is subject to significant uncertainties, some of which are beyond our control. Should
any of these estimates and assumptions change or prove to have been incorrect, we could incur significant charges
related to legal matters which could have a material impact on our results of operations, financial position and cash
flows.

Item 7A. QUANTITATIVE & QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We do not utilize derivative financial instruments, derivative commodity instruments or other market risk

sensitive instruments, positions or transactions.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

A portion of our net sales are denominated in foreign currencies, most notably the Euro and the Japanese Yen.
Future fluctuations in the value of the U.S. Dollar may affect the price competitiveness of our products outside the
United States. For direct sales outside the United States, we sell in both U.S. Dollars and local currencies, which
could expose us to additional foreign currency risks, including changes in currency exchange rates. Our operating
expenses in countries outside the United States, are payable in foreign currencies and therefore expose us to
currency risk. To the extent that management can predict the timing of payments under sales contracts or for
operating expenses that are denominated in foreign currencies, we may engage in hedging transactions to mitigate
such risks in the future. We expect the changes in the fair value of the net foreign currency assets arising from
fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates to be materially offset by the changes in the fair value of the forward
contracts. As of June 30, 2019, we had no open forward contracts and all open positions had been settled.

The purpose of these forward contracts is to minimize the risk associated with foreign exchange rate fluctuations.

We have developed a foreign exchange policy to govern our forward contracts. These foreign currency forward
contracts do not qualify as cash flow hedges and all changes in fair value are reported in earnings as part of other
expenses, net. We have not entered into any other types of derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative
purpose. Our foreign currency forward contract valuation inputs are based on quoted prices and quoted pricing
intervals from public data and do not involve management judgment.

Interest Rate Risk

We maintain an investment portfolio of various holdings, types and maturities. These securities are generally
classified as available for sale and consequently are recorded on the balance sheet at fair value with unrealized gains
and losses reported as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income. At any time, a sharp rise
or decline in interest rates could have a material adverse impact on the fair value of our investment portfolio.
Likewise, increases and decreases in interest rates could have had a material impact on interest earnings for our
portfolio. We do not currently carry investments that are sensitive to interest rate risk.

Our debt obligations consist of a variety of financial instruments that expose us to interest rate risk, including, but

not limited to the Credit Facilities and the 3.75% Convertible Notes. The interest rates on the 3.75% Convertible
Notes are fixed and the interest rate on the Credit Facilities are at variable rates, which are tied to a “prime rate” and
LIBOR. As of June 30, 2019, borrowings under the Term Loan totaled $63.0 million with an annual interest rate of
5.50% plus 90-day LIBOR, and borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility totaled $28.3 million with an annual
interest rate of 3.50% plus 90-day LIBOR. If the amount outstanding under the Credit Facilities remained at this
level for the next 12 months and interest rates increased or decreased by 50 basis point change, our annual interest
expense would increase or decrease, respectively, approximately $0.4 million. Refer to Note 10, Debt to our
consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for a discussion regarding our debt
obligations.

Equity Price Risk

On August 7, 2017, we issued approximately $85.0 million aggregate principal amount of 3.75% Convertible
Notes. Upon conversion, we can settle the obligation by issuing our common stock, cash or a combination thereof at
an initial conversion rate equal to 174.8252 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the 3.75%
Convertible Notes, which is equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $5.72 per share of common stock,
subject to adjustment. There is no equity price risk if the share price of our common stock is below $5.72 upon
conversion of the 3.75% Convertible Notes. For every $1 that the share price of our common stock exceeds $5.72,
we expect to issue an additional $14.9 million in cash or shares of our common stock, or a combination thereof, if all
of the 3.75% Convertible Notes are converted.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Board of Directors and Stockholders
Accuray Incorporated

Opinion on the financial statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Accuray Incorporated (a Delaware corporation)
and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of June 30, 2019 and 2018, the related consolidated statements of operations
and comprehensive loss, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June
30, 2019, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial
statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2019 and
2018, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30,
2019, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United
States) (“PCAOB”), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2019, based on criteria
established in the 2013 Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”), and our report dated August 23, 2019 expressed an
unqualified opinion.

Adoption of new accounting standard

As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Company has changed its method of accounting for revenue
from contracts with customers and for incremental costs to obtain contracts with customers in fiscal year 2019 due
to the adoption of the ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The Company adopted this new
standard using a modified retrospective approach.

Basis for opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with
the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal
securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the
PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of
material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that
respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

/s/ GRANT THORNTON LLP

We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2006.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1. The Company and its Significant Accounting Policies

The Company

Accuray Incorporated (together with its subsidiaries, the “Company” or “Accuray”) designs, develops and sells

advanced radiosurgery and radiation therapy systems for the treatment of tumors throughout the body. The
Company is incorporated in Delaware and has its principal place of business in Sunnyvale, California. The
Company has primary offices in the United States, Switzerland, China, Hong Kong and Japan and conducts its
business worldwide.

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.

All significant inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States

accounting generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

The fair value measurement footnote disclosure for the year ended June 30, 2018 was revised to correct an error

in the presentation of the fair value for the 3.75% convertible notes. As a result, the fair value was increased by
$15.9 million. The supplemental financial information footnote for the year ended June 30, 2018, was revised to
correct an error in the presentation of unbilled fees and services. As a result, unbilled fees and services was
increased by $0.6 million. These revisions have no impact on the consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2018 and
the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the year
then ended.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to

make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses, and
related disclosures at the date of the financial statements. Key estimates and assumptions made by the Company
relate to revenue recognition, assessment of recoverability of goodwill and intangible assets, valuation of
inventories, share-based compensation expense, convertible notes, income taxes, allowance for doubtful accounts
and loss contingencies. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

Foreign Currency

The Company’s international subsidiaries use their local currencies as their functional currencies. For those
subsidiaries, assets and liabilities are translated at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date and income and
expense accounts at the average exchange rate. Resulting translation adjustments are excluded from the
determination of net loss and are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss as a separate component of
stockholders’ equity. Net foreign currency exchange transaction gains or losses are included as a component of other
expense, net, in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Fair Value Measurements

The carrying values of the Company’s financial instruments including cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts

receivable and accounts payable are approximately equal to their respective fair values due to the relatively
short-term nature of these instruments. Also refer to Note 8, Fair Value Measurements, for further details.

85

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers currency on hand, demand deposits, time deposits, and all highly liquid investments with

an original maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash and cash equivalents. Cash and cash
equivalents are held in various financial institutions in the United States and internationally.

Investments

The Company classifies all its investments as available-for-sale at the time of purchase since it is management’s

intent that these investments be available for current operations, and as such, includes these investments as
short-term investments on its balance sheets. These investments primarily consist of commercial paper, U.S.
treasury securities, and U.S. government agency and corporate debt securities. Short-term investments classified as
available-for-sale are recorded at fair market value with the related unrealized gains and losses included in
accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), as a separate component of stockholders’ equity. Realized gains
and losses on the sale of securities are determined by specific identification of each security’s cost basis. The
Company regularly reviews its investment portfolio to determine if any security is other-than-temporarily impaired,
which would require it to record an impairment charge in the period any such determination is made. In making this
judgment, management evaluates, among other things, the duration and extent to which the fair value of a security is
less than its cost, the financial condition of the issuer and any changes thereto, and management’s intent to sell, or
whether it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost
basis. Other expense, net, includes interest, dividends, amortization of purchase premiums and discounts, realized
gains and losses on sales of securities and other-than-temporary declines in the fair value of securities, if any.

Concentration of Credit Risk and Other Risks and Uncertainties

The Company’s cash and cash equivalents are mainly deposited with several major financial institutions. At
times, deposits in these institutions exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits. The Company has
not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes that it is not exposed to any significant risk on these
balances. The Company places its investments with high-credit quality issuers. The Company does not invest an
amount exceeding 5% of its combined cash, cash equivalents and investments in the securities of any one obligor or
maker, except for obligations of the United States government, obligations of United States government agencies
and money market accounts.

The Company had no customer that represented 10% or more of total net revenue for the years ended June 30,

2019, 2018 and 2017. The Company had one customer at June 30, 2019 and no customer at June 30, 2018 that
accounted for more than 10% of accounts receivable, net.

The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and maintains reserves for potential credit

losses. Accounts receivable are deemed past due in accordance with the contractual terms of the agreement.
Accounts are charged against the allowance for doubtful accounts once collection efforts are unsuccessful.
Historically, such losses have been within management’s expectations.

Single-source suppliers presently provide the Company with several components. In most cases, if a supplier was

unable to deliver these components, the Company believes that it would be able to find other sources for these
components subject to any regulatory qualifications, if required.

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash primarily consists of cash that is temporarily held in bank accounts which are under the control of

the lender to the Revolving Credit Facility, certificates of deposit held as guarantees in connection with customer
contracts and corporate leases as well as funds held as guarantees for Value-Added Tax (VAT) obligations in a
foreign jurisdiction.

86

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (on a first-in, first-out basis) or net realizable value. Excess and

obsolete inventories are written down based on historical sales and forecasted demand, as judged by management.

Revenue Recognition

The Company adopted ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, on January 1, 2018. The
Company’s revenue consists of product revenue resulting from the sale of systems, system upgrades and service
revenue. The Company accounts for a contract with a customer when there is a legally enforceable contract between
the Company and its customer, the rights of the parties are identified, the contract has commercial substance, and
collectability of the contract consideration is probable. The Company’s revenues are measured based on the
consideration specified in the contract with each customer, net of any discounts and taxes collected from customers
that are remitted to government authorities.

The Company’s revenue is primarily derived from sales of CyberKnife and TomoTherapy Systems and services,
which include post-contract customer support (“PCS”), installation services, training and other professional services.

The majority of the Company's revenue arrangements consists of multiple performance obligations, which can
include system, upgrades, installation, training, services, construction, and consumables. For bundled arrangements,
the Company accounts for individual products and services separately if a product or service is separately
identifiable from other items in the bundled package and if a customer can benefit from it on its own or with other
resources that are readily available to the customer.

The Company’s products are generally sold without a right of return, and the Company’s contracts generally
provide a fixed transaction price. The Company may offer incentives in the form of discounts, including volume
system discounts, which are included in the contract and used to calculate the final fixed price of the arrangement.
These discounts may pertain to all performance obligations in a specific contract or may be allocated to a specific
performance obligation. The Company also from time to time offers extended payment terms beyond one year and
commissions or other forms of payment to customers. The Company estimates a financing component in
transactions with payment terms extending beyond one year. This financing component is recognized as financing
income at the time payment is received. The Company applies the practical expedient to not adjust for a significant
financing component if the gap between payment and delivery was expected, at the contract inception, to be less
than one year.

The Company offers customers the opportunity to trade in their older systems for credit towards the purchase of a

new system. The Company generally does not provide specifc trade-in prices or upgrade rights at the time of
purchase of the original system. Trade-in or upgrade transactions are based on the then fair value of the system and
are separately negotiated taking into consideration circumstances existing at the time of the trade-in or upgrade.
Accordingly, trade-ins and upgrades are not considered separate performance obligations in system sales
agreements. Traded-in systems generally can be reconditioned and may be resold. The Company accounts for the
fair value of the traded-in system in the total consideration in the arrangement by including the net realizable value
of the traded-in system less a normal profit margin.

The stand-alone selling price (“SSP”) of performance obligations is determined based on observable prices at

which the Company separately sells the products and services. If the SSP is not directly observable, then the
Company will estimate the SSP considering market conditions, entity-specific factors, and information about the
customer or class of customer that is reasonably available. The SSP is generally assessed as a percentage of the list
price. The contract consideration allocation is based on the SSP at contract inception. The consideration (net of any
discounts) is allocated among separate products and services in a bundle based on their individual SSP. For contract
modifications that add additional goods or services or changes pricing, the most recent SSP is used for allocation to
the remaining performance obligations.

87

The Company recognizes revenue for certain performance obligations at the point in time when control is
transferred, such as delivery of products and upgrades. Service revenue is recognized over the term of the service
period as the customer benefits from the services throughout the service period. Revenue related to services
performed on a time-and-materials basis is recognized when performed. Services recognized over a period of time
comprise a single stand-ready performance obligation satisfied over time as our customers simultaneously receive
and consume benefits from the Company's performance. This performance obligation constitutes a series of services
that are substantially the same and provided over time using the same measure of progress. Revenues derived from
these arrangements are recognized over time using an output method based upon the passage of time as this provides
a faithful depiction of the pattern of transfer of control.

The Company recognizes an asset for the incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer when the
Company expects to generate future economic benefits from the related revenue-generating contracts. The Company
capitalizes incremental contract acquisition costs, and amortizes such costs over a five year period, the period which
the Company expects to benefit, based on historical service renewal rates, and expectations of future customer
renewals. Most of the Company’s contract costs are associated with its internal sales force compensation program
and a portion of its employee bonus program. The Company capitalizes and presents these contract assets in Prepaid
expenses and other current assets and Other assets on its consolidated balance sheets. These contract assets are
amortized over a period of five years commencing upon the initial transfer of control of the system to the customer.
The amortization of these contract assets is included in cost of sales, research and development, sales and marketing,
and general and administrative expenses based on department headcount allocations in the consolidated statements
of operations. The pattern of amortization is commensurate with the pattern of transfer of control of the performance
obligations to the customer. The Company elected to use the practical expedient in ASC 340-40-25-4 and expense as
incurred commissions related to service renewals and upgrades because the contract term is less than a year.

The Company invoices its customers based on the billing schedules in its sales arrangements. Payment terms vary
from 30 to 90 days, or longer, from the date of invoice. Contract assets for the periods presented primarily represent
the difference between the revenue that was recognized based on the relative standalone selling price of the related
performance obligations satisfied and the contractual billing terms. Deferred revenue for periods presented primarily
relates to service contracts where the service fees are billed up-front, generally quarterly or annually, prior to
services being performed. The associated deferred revenue is generally recognized over the term of the service
period. The Company did not have any significant impairment losses on its contract assets for any period presented.

Deferred Revenue and Deferred Cost of Revenue

Deferred revenue consists of deferred product revenue and deferred service revenue. Deferred product revenue
arises from timing differences between the shipment of product and satisfaction of all revenue recognition criteria
consistent with the Company’s revenue recognition policy. Deferred service revenue results from the advance
payment for services to be delivered over a period of time. Deferred cost of revenue consists of the direct costs
associated with the manufacturing of units and direct service upgrade costs for which the revenue has been deferred
in accordance with the Company’s revenue recognition policies. Deferred revenue and associated deferred cost of
revenue expected to be realized within one year are classified as current liabilities and current assets, respectively.

Customer Advances

Customer advances represent payments made by customers in advance of product shipment. In general, customer

advances are required for a contract to be recognized in our backlog.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost and are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated
useful lives of the related assets. Leasehold improvements are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the remaining
term of the lease or the estimated useful life of the asset, whichever is shorter. Machinery and equipment are
depreciated over five years. Furniture and fixtures are depreciated over four years. Computer and office equipment
and computer software are depreciated over three years. Repairs and maintenance costs, which are not considered
improvements and do not extend the useful life of the property and equipment, are expensed as incurred.

88

Software Capitalization Costs

Costs for the development of new software products and substantial enhancements to existing software products

are expensed as incurred until technological feasibility has been established, at which time any additional costs
would be capitalized. No costs associated with the development of software have been capitalized as the Company
believes its current software development process is essentially completed concurrent with the establishment of
technological feasibility.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company reviews long-lived assets, including intangible assets, property and equipment, for impairment
whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be
fully recoverable using pretax undiscounted cash flows. Impairment, if any, is measured as the amount by which the
carrying value of a long-lived asset exceeds its fair value.

Goodwill and Purchased Intangible Assets

Goodwill is not amortized, but is evaluated for impairment on an annual basis and when impairment indicators

are present. The Company has assessed that it has one operating segment and one reporting unit, and the
consolidated net assets, including existing goodwill and other intangible assets, are considered to be the carrying
value of the reporting unit. The Company estimates the fair value of the reporting unit based on the Company’s
closing stock price on the trading day closest to the annual review date multiplied by the outstanding shares on that
date. If the carrying value of the reporting unit is in excess of its fair value, an impairment may exist, and the
Company must perform the second step of the analysis, in which the implied fair value of the goodwill is compared
to its carrying value to determine the impairment charge, if any. If the estimated fair value of the reporting unit
exceeds the carrying value of the reporting unit, goodwill is not impaired and no further analysis is required. The
Company adopted the new accounting guidance that simplifies the testing for goodwill impairment in the first
quarter of fiscal 2019. Refer to Note 2, Recent Accounting Pronouncements. There was no impairment of goodwill
identified in the fiscal years ended June 30, 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Purchased intangible assets other than goodwill, including developed technology are amortized on a straight-line
basis over their estimated useful lives unless their lives are determined to be indefinite. Purchased intangible assets
are carried at cost, less accumulated amortization. Amortization is computed over the estimated useful lives of the
respective assets which range from approximately one to seven years.

Shipping and Handling

The Company’s billings for shipping and handling for product shipments to customers are included in cost of
products. Shipping and handling costs incurred for inventory purchases are capitalized in inventory and expensed in
cost of products.

Advertising Expenses

The Company expenses the costs of advertising and promoting its products and services as incurred. Advertising

expenses were approximately $0.5 million, $0.4 million and $0.4 million for the years ended June 30, 2019, 2018
and 2017, respectively, and are included in selling and marketing expense in the consolidated statements of
operations.

Research and Development Costs

Costs related to research, design and development of products are charged to research and development expense

as incurred. These costs include direct compensation, benefits, and other headcount related costs for research and
development personnel; costs for materials used in research and development activities; costs for outside services
and allocated portions of facilities and other corporate costs. The Company has entered into research and clinical
study arrangements with selected hospitals, cancer treatment centers, academic institutions and research institutions
worldwide. These agreements support the Company’s internal research and development capabilities.

89

Share-Based Compensation

The Company issues stock-based compensation awards to employees and directors in the form of stock options,

restricted stock units (RSUs), performance stock units (PSUs), market stock units (MSUs) and employee stock
purchase plan (ESPP) awards (collectively, awards).

The Company measures and recognizes compensation expense for all stock-based awards based on the awards’

fair value. Share-based compensation for RSUs and PSUs is measured based on the value of the Company’s
common stock on the grant date. The Company uses the Monte-Carlo simulation model to estimate the fair value of
MSUs. Share-based compensation for employee stock options and ESPP awards are measured on the date of grant
using a Black-Scholes option pricing model.

Awards vest either on a graded schedule or in a lump sum. The Company determines the fair value of each award

as a single award and recognizes the expense on a straight-line basis over the service period of the award, which is
generally the vesting period. The exercise price of stock options granted is equal to the fair market value of the
Company’s common stock on the date of grant. Stock options expire ten years from the date of grant.

Share-based compensation expense for stock options, RSUs, PSUs and the ESPP awards is based on awards
ultimately expected to vest, and the expense is recorded net of estimated forfeitures. The Company recognizes
expense for MSUs net of estimated forfeitures and does not adjust the expense for subsequent changes in the
expected outcome of the market-based vesting conditions.

Loss Contingencies

The Company is involved in various lawsuits, claims and proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of

business. The Company records a provision for a liability when it believes that it is both probable that a liability has
been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Significant judgment is required to determine both
probability and the estimated amount. The Company reviews these provisions quarterly and adjusts these provisions
to reflect the impact of negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel, and updated information.

Net Loss Per Common Share

Basic and diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to stockholders by the weighted

average number of common shares outstanding during the year.

A reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used in the calculation of basic and diluted net loss per share

attributable to stockholders follows (in thousands):

The potentially dilutive shares of the Company’s common stock resulting from the assumed exercise of

outstanding stock options, the vesting of Restricted Stock Units (RSU), Market Stock Units (MSU) and Performance
Stock Units (PSU), and the purchase of shares under the Employee Stock Purchase Program (ESPP), as determined
under the treasury stock method, are excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share because their effect
would have been anti-dilutive. Additionally, the 3.75% Convertible Notes due August 2022 (the “3.75% Convertible
Notes”), the 3.50% Convertible Senior Notes due February 1, 2018 (the “3.50% Convertible Notes”), the 3.50%
Series A Convertible Notes (the “3.50% Series A Convertible Notes”) due February 1, 2018 are included in the
calculation of diluted net income per share only if their inclusion is dilutive for periods during which the notes were
outstanding.

The 3.75% Convertible Notes and the 3.50% Series A Convertible Notes have an optional physical (share), cash

or combination settlement feature and contain certain conditional conversion features. The 3.50% Series A
Convertible Notes were retired in February 2018. Due to the optional cash settlement feature and management’s
intent to settle the principal amount thereof in cash, the shares of our common stock issuable upon conversion of the
outstanding principal amount of the 3.75% Convertible Notes outstanding as of June 30, 2019, totaling
approximately 14.9 million shares of our common stock, were not included in the basic and diluted net loss per
common share table above.

Income Taxes

The Company is required to estimate its income taxes in each of the tax jurisdictions in which it operates prior to
the completion and filing of tax returns for such periods. This process involves estimating actual current tax expense
together with assessing temporary differences in the treatment of items for tax purposes versus financial accounting
purposes that may create net deferred tax assets and liabilities. The Company accounts for income taxes under the
asset and liability method, which requires, among other things, that deferred income taxes be provided for temporary
differences between the tax bases of the Company’s assets and liabilities and their financial statement reported
amounts. In addition, deferred tax assets are recorded for the future benefit of utilizing net operating losses, research
and development credit carryforwards and other deferred tax assets.

The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce its deferred tax assets to the amount the Company believes

is more likely than not to be realized. Because of the uncertainty of the realization of the deferred tax assets, the
Company has recorded a full valuation allowance against its domestic and certain foreign net deferred tax assets.

The calculation of unrecognized tax benefits involves dealing with uncertainties in the application of complex
global tax regulations. Management regularly assesses the Company’s tax positions in light of legislative, bilateral
tax treaty, regulatory and judicial developments in the countries in which the Company does business. The Company
anticipates that except for $0.01 million in uncertain tax positions that may be reduced related to the lapse of various
statutes of limitation, there will be no material changes in uncertain tax positions in the next 12 months.

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss

The components of comprehensive loss consist of net loss, unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale
investments, changes in foreign currency exchange rate translation and net changes related to a defined benefit
pension plan. The unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale investments, changes in foreign currency
exchange rate translation and net changes related to the defined benefit pension plan are excluded from earnings and
reported as a component of stockholders’ equity. The foreign currency translation adjustment results from those
subsidiaries not using the United States dollar as their functional currency since the majority of their economic
activities are primarily denominated in their applicable local currency. Accordingly, all assets and liabilities related
to these operations are translated at the current exchange rates at the end of each period. The resulting cumulative
translation adjustments are recorded directly to the accumulated other comprehensive loss account in stockholders’
equity. Revenues and expenses are translated at average exchange rates in effect during the period.

Note 2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting Pronouncement Recently Adopted

In June 2018, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”)

No. 2018-7, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718) — Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based
Payment Accounting. This guidance supersedes ASC 505-50 and expands the scope of ASC 718 to include all share-
based payment arrangements related to the acquisition of goods and services from both nonemployees and
employees. The amendments should be applied on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect
adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. The guidance permits early
adoption and was adopted by the Company in the first quarter of fiscal year 2019. The adoption of this ASU did not
have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718)—Scope of

Modification Accounting. This guidance redefines which changes to the terms and conditions of a share-based
payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting for a share-based payment. Modification
accounting will not be applied if the following are the same immediately before and after the change: fair value,
vesting conditions, and classification. The Company adopted ASU No. 2017-09 as required in the first quarter of
fiscal year 2019 on a prospective basis. The adoption of this ASU did not have any impact on the Company’s
consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-07, Compensation—Retirement Benefits (Topic 715)—
Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost. This
guidance revises the presentation of employer-sponsored defined benefit pension and other postretirement plans for
the net periodic benefit cost in the statement of operations and requires that the service cost component of net
periodic benefit be presented in the same income statement line items as other employee compensation costs for
services rendered during the period. The other components of the net benefit costs are required to be presented in the
statement of operations separately from the service cost component and outside the subtotal of income from
operations. This guidance allows only the service cost component of net periodic benefit costs to be eligible for
capitalization. In addition, changes to the presentation of benefit costs were required to be adopted retrospectively,
while changes to the capitalization of service costs into inventories were required to be adopted prospectively. The
standard permits, as a practical expedient, use of the amounts disclosed in the pension plans footnote for the prior
comparative periods as the estimation basis for applying the retrospective presentation requirement. The Company
adopted ASU No. 2017-07 as required in the first quarter of fiscal year 2019, and the adoption of this ASU did not
have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of

Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments, which clarifies the presentation and classification of certain cash
receipts and cash payments in the statement of cash flows. The amendments in the update provide guidance on eight
specific cash flow issues. The amendments to the guidance should be applied using a retrospective transition method
for each period presented and, if it is impracticable to apply all of the amendments retrospectively for some of the
issues, the amendments for those issues would be applied prospectively as of the earliest date practicable. The
Company adopted ASU No. 2016-15 as required in the first quarter of fiscal year 2019. The adoption of this ASU
did not have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and
Financial Liabilities. This guidance changes accounting for equity investments, financial liabilities under the fair
value option and the presentation and disclosure requirements for financial instruments. In addition, it clarified
guidance related to the valuation allowance assessment when recognizing deferred tax assets resulting from
unrealized losses on available-for-sale debt securities. The Company adopted this ASU No. 2016-01 as required in
the first quarter of fiscal year 2019 on a required modified retrospective approach. The adoption of this ASU did not
have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

92

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other Topics (Topic 350)—
Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. This guidance simplifies the measurement of goodwill by eliminating
the Step 2 impairment test. The new guidance requires companies to perform the goodwill impairment test by
comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. This guidance will be effective for the
Company beginning in its first quarter of fiscal 2021. The amendment is required to be adopted prospectively. Early
adoption is permitted for goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. The Company
early adopted this guidance in the first quarter of fiscal year 2019 and adoption of this ASU did not have any impact
on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), to
supersede nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under GAAP. The core principle of ASU 2014-09 is to
recognize revenue when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the
consideration that is expected to be received for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 defines a five-step process to
achieve this core principle and, in doing so, it is possible more judgment and estimates may be required within the
revenue recognition process than required under existing GAAP, including identifying performance obligations in
the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price and allocating the
transaction price to each separate performance obligation. ASU 2014-09 is required to be adopted, using either of
two methods: (i) retrospective to each prior reporting period presented with the option to elect certain practical
expedients as defined within ASU 2014-09; or (ii) retrospective with the cumulative effect of initially applying ASU
2014-09 recognized at the date of initial application and providing certain additional disclosures. The Company
adopted the new revenue standards as of July 1, 2018, using the modified retrospective transition method applied to
those contracts which were not completed as of that date.

The Company completed its assessment of the impact this guidance has on its consolidated financial statements

and related disclosures. Based on that assessment, the Company concluded the significant impact areas were
recognizing revenue from sales of systems at the time of transfer of control, which is generally upon delivery, the
capitalization and amortization of incremental costs of obtaining a contract, primarily related to certain bonuses and
sales commissions, change in SSP and the removal of software revenue recognition rules along with the elimination
of revenue deferral for cash basis customers. Under the new standards, the Company capitalizes incremental contract
acquisition costs, such as certain bonuses and sales commissions, and amortizes such costs over the period which the
Company benefits, as estimated by management, which may extend beyond the initial contract term. The Company
amortizes capitalized bonuses and sales commissions over a period of five years commencing upon the initial
transfer of control of the system to the customer. The pattern of amortization is commensurate with the pattern of
transfer of control of the performance obligations to the customer. The Company elected to use the practical
expedient in ASC 340-40-25-4 and expense commissions related to service renewals and upgrades with a renewal
contract term of one year or less as incurred. The Company recorded a net reduction to opening accumulated
deficit of $5.1 million, net of tax, as of July 1, 2018 due to the cumulative impact of adopting ASC 606, with the
impact primarily related to the deferral of incremental costs to obtain contracts.

Under ASC 606, product revenue for direct sales are accelerated to reflect transfer of control upon delivery while

an element of installation is deferred until performed. Prior to the adoption of ASC 606, the Company deferred
revenue until installation had occurred. The revenue recognition method for indirect sales and service revenues is
unchanged under the new guidance.

Refer to Note 3, Revenue, to the Consolidated Financial Statement on this Annual report for the detailed impact

of adopting ASC 606.

93

Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Effective

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-02, Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated
Other Comprehensive Income, that allows companies to reclassify from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income
to Retained Earnings stranded tax effects resulting from the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the "Tax Act").
The guidance will be effective for the Company in its first quarter of fiscal 2020. Early adoption is permitted. The
guidance should be applied either in the period of adoption or retrospectively to each period in which the effect of
the change in the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate in the Tax Act is recognized. The Company has not yet
selected a transition method, has not yet determined whether it will elect early adoption and is currently evaluating
the impact of the adoption of this standard on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging. This guidance simplifies the

application and administration of hedge accounting. The guidance amends the presentation and disclosure
requirements and changes how companies assess effectiveness. The guidance is intended to more closely align
hedge accounting with companies' risk management strategies, simplify the application of hedge accounting, and
increase transparency as to the scope and results of hedging programs. The guidance will be effective for the
Company in its first quarter of fiscal 2020. Early adoption is permitted. The guidance is required to be adopted on a
prospective basis. The Company will not early adopt and does not believe the adoption of this standard will have a
material impact on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13 Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. ASU
No. 2016-13 requires measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets held. This guidance
will be effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 and must be adopted using a modified
retrospective approach, with certain exceptions. Early adoption is permitted beginning in the first quarter of fiscal
2020. The Company has not yet decided whether it will early adopt and is currently evaluating the impact of the
adoption of this standard on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)" (ASU 2016-02 or Topic 842), which
requires lessees to recognize right-of-use (ROU) assets and lease liabilities arising from operating and financing
leases with terms longer than 12 months in the consolidated balance sheets and to disclose key information about
leasing arrangements. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, "Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements
(ASU 2016-02 or Topic 842)" allowing an alternative modified transition method. Under this method, the
cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings is recognized on the date of adoption with
comparative prior periods not being restated. The new standard, including subsequent amendments is effective for
our interim and annual periods beginning July 1, 2019. The Company will adopt the new guidance in the first
quarter of fiscal year 2020 using the alternative modified transition basis, thereby recognizing the cumulative effect
of initially applying Topic 842 as an adjustment to opening balance sheet on the adoption date, without revising the
balances in comparative periods. The Company plans to elect the package of transitional practical expedients
allowing, among other provisions, the Company not to reassess under the new standard its prior conclusions about
lease identification, lease classification and initial direct cost, for any existing leases on the adoption date. For the
facility and car leases, the Company intends to elect to account for lease and non-lease components as a single lease
component. The Company intends to make an accounting policy election not to record leases that, at the lease
commencement date, have a lease term of 12 months or less on the balance sheet. The Company has substantially
completed its evaluation of the new lease guidance implementation and assessed the effect of the adoption on its
consolidated financial statements. In connection with the adoption of the new guidance, the Company expects to
recognize ROU asset ranging from $29.6 million to $31.6 million and lease liability ranging from $33.5 million to
$35.5 million in its balance sheet as of July 1, 2019, with no impact to its results of operations and cash flows. The
difference between the leased assets and lease liabilities represents the net position of existing prepaid rent and
deferred rent liabilities balance, resulting from historical straight-lining of operating leases, which will be effectively
reclassified upon adoption to reduce the measurement of the leased assets. The Company believes that substantially
all of its undiscounted future minimum operating lease commitments based on its current lease portfolio that were
not recognized on its consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2019 but disclosed in Note 9 to the consolidated
financial statements, will be subject to the new standard.

Note 3. Revenue

On July 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASC 606 electing the modified retrospective method for contracts that

were still open as of July 1, 2018. Results for reporting periods after July 1, 2018 are presented under ASC 606,
while prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with legacy accounting
guidance under ASC 605.

The adoption of ASC 606 had no impact to net cash from or used in operating, investing or financing activities in

the Company's consolidated statements of cash flows.

Contract Balances

The timing of revenue recognition, billings, and cash collections results in trade, unbilled receivables, and

deferred revenues on the consolidated balance sheets. The Company may offer longer or extended payments of more
than one year for qualified customers in some circumstances. At times, revenue recognition occurs before the
billing, resulting in an unbilled receivable, which represents a contract asset. The contract asset is a component of
accounts receivable and other assets for the current and non-current portions, respectively.

When the Company receives advances or deposits from customers before revenue is recognized, this results in a

contract liability. It can take up to two and half years from the time of order to revenue recognition due to the
Company’s long sales cycle.

Changes in the contract assets and contract liabilities are as follows:

(Dollars in thousands)
Assets:
Unbilled accounts receivable – current (1)........................... $

During fiscal 2019, contract assets changed primarily due to the contractual timing of billings occurring after the

revenues were recognized and payment terms exceeding 12 months. Contract liabilities changed due to timing of
system sales for which the warranty has not yet started and was deferred.

Remaining Performance Obligations

Remaining performance obligations represent deferred revenue from open contracts for which performance has

already started and the transaction price from signed contracts for which performance has not yet started. Service
contracts in general are considered month-to-month contracts, and the Company has elected the practical expedient
available in the guidance related to ASC 606, to not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for
contracts with an original expected duration of one year or less.

As of June 30, 2019, total remaining performance obligations amounted to $863.8 million. Of this total amount,

$84.5 million related to long-term warranty and service, which is expected to be recognized over the remaining
warranty period for systems that have been delivered. For systems that have been delivered but not yet installed,
management estimates the timing of installation since warranty starts upon installation.

The following table represents the Company's remaining performance obligations related to long-term warranty

and service as of June 30, 2019 and the estimated revenue expected to be recognized:

Fiscal years of revenue recognition

For the remaining $779.3 million of performance obligations, the Company estimates 22% to 31% will be
recognized in the next 12 months, and the remaining 69% to 78% will be recognized in the 30 months thereafter.
The Company’s historical experience indicates that some of its customers will cancel or renegotiate contracts as
economic conditions change or when product offerings change during the long sales cycle. Based on historical
cancellation, about 17% to 27% of the Company’s contracts may never result in revenue due to cancellation.

The time bands reflect management’s best estimate of when the Company will transfer control to the customer

and may change based on timing of shipment, readiness of customers’ facilities for installation, installation
requirements, and availability of products.

Capitalized Contract Costs

The Company capitalizes and amortizes the incremental costs of obtaining a contract, primarily related to certain
bonuses and sales commissions. The capitalized bonuses and sales commissions are amortized over a period of five
years commencing upon the initial transfer of control of the system to the customer. The pattern of amortization is
commensurate with the pattern of transfer of control of the performance obligations to the customer.

97

The opening balance of capitalized costs to obtain a contract was $5.9 million as of July 1, 2018. As of June 30,

2019, the balance of capitalized costs to obtain a contract was $8.4 million. The Company has classified the
capitalized costs to obtain a contract as a component of prepaid expenses and other current assets and other assets
with respect to the current and non-current portions of capitalized costs, respectively, on the consolidated balance
sheets. The Company incurred a $0.5 million impairment loss for the periods presented. During the year ended
June 30, 2019, the Company recognized $2.2 million in expense related to the amortization of the capitalized
contract costs.

The Company received payment or had credits of $0.2 million and added $0.6 million to the allowance for

doubtful accounts in fiscal 2019. The Company received payment or had credits of $0.2 million, added $0.1 million
and wrote off $0.1 million from the allowance for doubtful accounts in fiscal 2018.

Financing receivables

A financing receivable is a contractual right to receive money, on demand or on fixed or determinable dates, that

is recognized as an asset in the Company’s balance sheet. The Company’s financing receivables, consisting of its
accounts receivable with contractual maturities of more than one year and sales-type leases, totaled $4.3 million and
$6.9 million at June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and are included in Other Assets in the consolidated balance
sheets. The $4.3 million in financing receivables at June 30, 2019 related to contractual maturities of more than one
year. Of the $6.9 million in financing receivables at June 30, 2018, $1.0 million related to sales-type leases with
customers while the remaining $5.9 million related to contractual maturities of more than one year. The Company
evaluates the credit quality of an obligor at contract inception and monitors credit quality over the term of the
underlying transactions. The Company performs a credit analysis for all new customers and reviews payment
history, current order backlog, financial performance of the customers and other variables that augment or mitigate
the inherent credit risk of a particular transaction. Such variables include the underlying value and liquidity of the
collateral, the essential use of the equipment, the contract term and the inclusion of credit enhancements, such as
guarantees, letters of credit or security deposits. The Company classifies accounts as high risk when it considers the
financing receivable to be impaired or when management believes there is a significant near-term risk of
non-payment. The Company performed an assessment of the allowance for credit losses related to its financing
receivables as of June 30, 2019. Based upon such assessment, the Company recorded adjustments of $3.6 million
and less than $0.1 million to the allowance for credit losses related to such financing receivables as of June 30, 2019
and as of June 30, 2018, respectively.

Note 6. Investments

The Company considers all highly liquid investments held at major banks, certificates of deposit and other

securities with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

The Company classifies all of its investments as available-for-sale at the time of purchase because management

intends for these investments to be available for current operations and includes these investments on its balance
sheet as short-term investments. Investments with original maturities longer than three months include commercial
paper, U.S. agency securities, non-U.S. government securities and investment-grade corporate debt securities.
Investments classified as available-for-sale are recorded at fair market value with the related unrealized gains and
losses included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), a component of stockholders’ equity. Realized
gains and losses are recorded based on specific identification of each security’s cost basis.

In January 2018, the Company sold all of its available-for-sale investments for proceeds of $23.9 million and

realized an insignificant loss on the sale of its investments. The Company reviews its investments quarterly to
identify and evaluate investments that have an indication of possible impairment. Gross realized gains and losses
were insignificant for the year ended June 30, 2018 and the year ended June 30, 2017. Upon the sale of its available
for sale securities, the Company reclassified $77 thousand from other comprehensive income to Other expense, net.

The Company had an investment in a technology company, which had historically been accounted for using the
cost method and recorded in Other assets. Subsequent to such company’s initial public offering in October 2017, the
Company owned approximately 143,000 shares of such company’s common stock. Considering the liquidity in
these shares at the time, the Company reclassified its investment from Other assets to short-term investments. In the
fourth quarter of fiscal 2018, the Company sold all of its shares for a proceed of $0.4 million and recognized a loss
on the sale of $0.1 million.

The Company had no available-for-sale securities at June 30, 2019 or 2018.

The Company held zero positions as of June 30, 2018 that were in an unrealized loss position. Gross realized

gains and gross realized losses were insignificant for the years ended June 30, 2018 and 2017.

Note 7. Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company utilizes foreign currency forward contracts with reputable financial institutions to manage its
exposure of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates on certain intercompany balances and foreign currency
denominated cash, customer receivables and liabilities. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments
for speculative or trading purposes. These forward contracts are not designated as hedging instruments for
accounting purposes. Principal hedged currencies include the Euro, Japanese Yen, Swiss Franc, and U.S. Dollar.
The periods of these forward contracts range up to approximately three months and the notional amounts are
intended to be consistent with changes in the underlying exposures. The Company intends to exchange foreign
currencies for U.S. Dollars at maturity. There were no outstanding foreign currency forward contracts at the end of
fiscal years 2019 and 2018.

The following table shows the effect of forward contracts not designated as hedging instruments and foreign
currency transactions gains and losses, which were included in “Other expense, net” on the consolidated statements

Note 8. Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is an exit price representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a
liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between
market participants on the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy contains three levels of inputs that may be
used to measure fair value, as follows:

Level 1— Unadjusted quoted prices that are available in active markets for the identical assets or liabilities at the

measurement date.

Level 2— Other observable inputs available at the measurement date, other than quoted prices included in

Level 1, either directly or indirectly, including:

• Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets;

• Quoted prices for identical or similar assets in non-active markets;

•

•

Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; and

Inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by other observable market data.

Level 3— Unobservable inputs that cannot be corroborated by observable market data and require the use of

significant management judgment. These values are generally determined using pricing models for which the
assumptions utilize management’s estimates of market participant assumptions.

The Company had cash of $76.8 million and $83.1 million at June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018, respectively.

Assets and Liabilities That Are Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

The Company’s debt is measured on a non-recurring basis using Level 2 inputs based upon observable inputs of
the Company’s underlying stock price and the time value of the conversion option, since an observable quoted price
of the 3.75% Convertible Notes (collectively the “Notes”) are not readily available. The Revolving Credit Facility
and the Term Loan (collectively, the “Credit Facilities”) are valued at market interest rates, which it considers to be
a level 2 fair value measurement. The carrying value of these financial instruments approximate its estimated fair
value as there have not been significant changes in the Company’s credit quality or capital markets that would
suggest changes in interest rates since these Credit Facilities were amended in May 2019.

The following table summarizes the carrying value and estimated fair value of Credit Facilities and Notes (in

Note 9. Commitments and Contingencies

Operating Lease and Long-term Debt Commitments

The Company leases office and manufacturing space under non-cancelable operating leases with various
expiration dates through June 2025. Rent expense was $8.3 million, $9.2 million and $8.6 million for the years
ended June 30, 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The terms of some of the facility leases provide for rental
payments on a graduated scale. For these leases, the Company recognizes rent expense on a straight-line basis over
the lease period, and has accrued for rent expense incurred but not paid.

The Company is also required to make semi-annual interest payments on the Existing 3.75% Convertible Notes,

and monthly interest payments on the Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loan. See Note 10, Debt, for details.

Future minimum lease payments under non-cancelable operating lease agreements and long-term principal and

interest on the 3.75% Convertible Notes and Credit Facilities as of June 30, 2019 are as follows (in thousands):

These amounts represent principal and interest cash payments over the contractual life of the debt obligations,
including anticipated interest payments that are not recorded on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet.
Any conversion, premium, redemption or purchase of the 3.75% Convertible Notes would impact cash
payments noted in the preceding table.

Purchase Commitments

The Company’s purchase commitments and obligations include all open purchase orders and contractual

obligations in the ordinary course of business, including commitments with contract manufacturers and suppliers,
for which the Company has not received the goods or services and acquisition and licensing of intellectual property.
A majority of these purchase obligations are due within a year. Although open purchase orders are considered
enforceable and legally binding, the terms generally allows the Company the option to cancel, reschedule, and adjust
its requirements based on the Company’s business needs prior to the delivery of goods or performance of services,
and hence, have not been included in the table above.

Indemnities, Commitments and Guarantees

The Company enters into standard indemnification agreements with its landlords and all superior mortgagees and

their respective directors, officers’ agents, and employees in the ordinary course of business. Pursuant to these
agreements, the Company will indemnify, hold harmless, and agree to reimburse the indemnified party for losses
suffered or incurred by the indemnified party, generally the landlords, in connection with any loss, accident, injury,
or damage by any third-party with respect to the leased facilities. The term of these indemnification agreements is
from the commencement of the lease agreements until termination of the lease agreements. The maximum potential
amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these indemnification agreements is
unlimited; however, historically the Company has not incurred claims or costs to defend lawsuits or settle claims
related to these indemnification agreements. The Company has not recorded any liability associated with its
indemnification agreements as it is not aware of any pending or threatened actions that represent probable losses as
of June 30, 2018.

104

In January 2019, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Accuray Asia, entered into an agreement

with CNNC High Energy Equipment (Tianjin) Co., Ltd. (the “CIRC Subsidiary”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of
China Isotope & Radiation Corporation, to form a joint venture, CNNC Accuray (Tianjin) Medical Technology Co.
Ltd. (the “JV”), to manufacture and sell radiation oncology systems in China.

The Company, through Accuray Asia, expects to make an initial capital contribution to the JV in stages, to be

completed by December 31, 2019 in the form of in-kind contributions consisting of components for two full
radiation oncology systems from our inventory in exchange for a 49% equity interest in the joint venture. Any
remaining amount of capital contributions due, if not satisfied by such in-kind contributions, will be made by us,
through Accuray Asia, in accordance with the schedule set by the board of directors of the JV.

Royalty Agreement

The Company has an exclusive license agreement with the Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation (WARF), to

make, use, sell and otherwise distribute products under certain of WARF’s patents anywhere in the world. The
Company is required to pay WARF a royalty for each TomoTherapy System sold that includes the licensed
technology. The license agreement expires upon expiration of the patents and may be terminated earlier if the
Company so elects. WARF has the right to terminate the license agreement if the Company does not meet the
minimum royalty obligation of $0.3 million per year, or if the Company commits any breach of the license
agreement’s covenants. The Company recorded royalty costs of $0.6 million, $0.5 million and $0.5 million for the
years ended June 30, 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively, which were recorded in cost of revenue or deferred cost of
revenue. The Company had accrued liabilities of approximately $0.2 million and $0.2 million at June 30, 2019 and
2018, respectively, related to this agreement.

Software License Indemnity

Under the terms of the Company’s software license agreements with its customers, the Company agrees that in

the event the software sold infringes upon any patent, copyright, trademark, or any other proprietary right of a
third-party, it will indemnify its customer licensees against any loss, expense, or liability from any damages that
may be awarded against its customer. The Company includes this infringement indemnification in all of its software
license agreements and selected managed services arrangements. In the event the customer cannot use the software
or service due to infringement and the Company cannot obtain the right to use, replace or modify the license or
service in a commercially feasible manner so that it no longer infringes, then the Company may terminate the license
and provide the customer a refund of the fees paid by the customer for the infringing license or service. The
Company has not recorded any liability associated with this indemnification, as it is not aware of any pending or
threatened actions that represent probable losses as of June 30, 2019.

Litigation

From time to time, the Company is involved in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of its business.
The Company records a provision for a loss when it believes that it is both probable that a loss has been incurred and
the amount can be reasonably estimated. Currently, management believes the Company does not have any probable
and reasonably estimable losses related to any current legal proceedings and claims. Although occasional adverse
decisions or settlements may occur, management does not believe that an adverse determination with respect to any
of these claims would individually or in the aggregate materially and adversely affect the Company’s financial
condition or operating results. Litigation is inherently unpredictable and is subject to significant uncertainties, some
of which are beyond the Company’s control. Should any of these estimates and assumptions change or prove to have
been incorrect, the Company could incur significant charges related to legal matters that could have a material
impact on its results of operations, financial position and cash flows.

Note 10. Debt

3.50% Convertible Senior Notes due February 2018

In February 2013, the Company issued 3.50% Convertible Senior Notes due 2018 (the “3.50% Convertible
Notes”) under an indenture between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as
trustee. Holders of the 3.50% Convertible Notes were entitled to convert their notes at any time until the close of the
business day immediately preceding the maturity date of February 1, 2018. The 3.50% Convertible Notes were
convertible into common stock of the Company at an initial conversion rate equal to 187.6877 shares of common
stock per $1,000 principal amount, which is equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $5.33 per share of
common stock, subject to adjustment.

On January 30, 2018, the Company entered into exchange agreements (the “Exchange Agreements”) with the
holders of the 3.50% Convertible Notes, which amended the original settlement terms of the notes and allowed the
Company to settle the then outstanding $13.0 million principal balance of the 3.50% Convertible Notes and accrued
interest in cash at maturity, and any excess equity value over the original conversion price in shares. In exchange for
the agreement to settle in cash, the Company agreed to pay $0.3 million exchange premium. The $0.3 million
exchange premium was accounted for as debt extinguishment and included in Other expense, net.

On February 1, 2018, pursuant to the Exchange Agreements, the Company paid $13.2 million in cash to settle

outstanding principal and accrued interest, and on February 7, 2018 issued 253,000 shares of the Company’s
common stock to the 3.50% Convertible Notes holders. The total number of shares was determined using a three-
day volume weighted averaging price period and based on a prescribed formula in the Exchange Agreements. As a
result, the 3.50% Convertible Notes were repaid in full and were not outstanding at June 30, 2018.

3.50% Series A Convertible Senior Notes due February 2018

In April 2014, the Company issued 3.50% Series A Convertible Senior Notes due 2018 (the “3.50% Series A
Convertible Notes”) under an indenture between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company,
N.A., as trustee. Holders of the 3.50% Series A Convertible Notes were entitled to convert their notes at any time on
or after November 1, 2017 until the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the maturity date
of February 1, 2018. The initial conversion rate is 187.6877 shares of the Company’s common stock per $1,000
principal amount, which represents an initial conversion price of approximately $5.33 per share of the Company’s
common stock.

Pursuant to the original settlement terms, the Company made an irrevocable net share settlement election and
paid cash for principal plus accrued interest upon maturity to holders who did not elect to convert. Prior to maturity,
one note holder elected to convert their notes and receive a combination of cash and shares at settlement. The
number of shares was determined based on a prescribed formula in the indenture. On February 1, 2018, the
Company paid an aggregate amount of $27.0 million in cash and delivered 1,252 shares of its common stock to
settle the 3.50% Series A Convertible Notes. As a result, the 3.50% Series A Convertible Notes were repaid in full
and were not outstanding at June 30, 2018.

3.75% Convertible Senior Notes due July 2022

In August 2017, the Company issued $85.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 3.75% Convertible Senior
Notes due 2022 (the “3.75% Convertible Notes”) under an indenture between the Company and The Bank of New
York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee. $53.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 3.75% Convertible
Notes were issued to certain holders of the Company’s outstanding 3.50% Convertible Notes and 3.50% Series A
Convertible Notes (together, the “Existing Notes”) in exchange for approximately $47.0 million aggregate principal
amount of the Existing Notes (the “Exchange”) and $32.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 3.75%
Convertible Notes were issued to certain other qualified new investors for cash. The net proceeds of the cash
issuance were used to repurchase approximately $28.0 million of Existing Notes (the “Repurchase”).

106

Holders of the 3.75% Convertible Notes may convert their notes at any time on or after April 15, 2022 until the

close of the business day immediately preceding the maturity date. Prior to April 15, 2022, holders of the 3.75%
Convertible Notes may convert their notes only under certain circumstances.

Upon conversion, the Company will have the right to pay cash, or deliver shares of common stock of the

Company or a combination thereof, at the Company’s election. The initial conversion rate is 174.8252 shares of the
Company’s common stock per $1,000 principal amount (which represents an initial conversion price of
approximately $5.72 per share of the Company’s common stock). The conversion rate, and thus the conversion
price, is subject to adjustment as further described below.

Holders of the 3.75% Convertible Notes who convert their notes in connection with a “make-whole fundamental

change,” as defined in the indenture, may be entitled to a make-whole premium in the form of an increase in the
conversion rate. Additionally, in the event of a “fundamental change,” as defined in the indenture, holders of the
3.75% Convertible Notes may require the Company to purchase all or a portion of their note at a fundamental
change repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 3.75% Convertible Notes, plus accrued and
unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the fundamental change repurchase date. As of June 30, 2019,
approximately $85.0 million aggregate principal amount was outstanding.

Revolving Credit Facility

On June 14, 2017, the Company entered into a credit and security agreement with a lender (the “Credit

Agreement”). The Credit Agreement provides the Company with a revolving credit facility in the initial amount of
$52.0 million (the “Revolving Credit Facility”). Availability for borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility is
subject to a borrowing base that is calculated as a function of the value of the Company’s eligible accounts
receivable and eligible inventory, and the Company is required to maintain a minimum drawn balance of at least
30% of such availability. Interest on the borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility is payable monthly in
arrears at an annual interest rate of reserve-adjusted, 90-day LIBOR plus 4.50% and had initial maturity date of
June 14, 2021.

In December 2017, concurrently with the Term Loan Agreement (as defined below), the Company entered into

an amendment to the Credit Agreement (the “Amendment” and, collectively with the Credit Agreement, the
“Amended Credit Agreement”). The Amendment reduced the maximum borrowings under the Revolving Credit
Facility to $32.0 million and extended the maturity date of the Revolving Credit Facility to December 15, 2022.

In July 2018, the Company amended both the Amended Credit Agreement and the Term Loan Agreement. The
amendments provide for, among other things, adjustments to the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio such that in the case
of the Defined Periods (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement and the Term Loan Agreement) for (i) the
fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2018 as well as (ii) the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2019, the Fixed Charge
Coverage Ratio is not less than 0.75 to 1.00 and 0.50 to 1.00, respectively. Other significant terms remain
unchanged.

In December 2018, the Company amended the Amended Credit Agreement (“Amendment 3”) which, among

other things, updated the calculation of the deferred revolving loan origination fee such that it is based on the
amount of time elapsed from the effective date of Amendment 3. Other significant terms remain unchanged.

In May 2019, the Company amended the Amended Credit Agreement to, among other things, decrease the

interest rate from 90-day LIBOR plus 4.50% to 90-day LIBOR plus 3.50% and extend the maturity date to May 30,
2024 and update the calculation of the deferred revolving loan origination fee such that it is based on the amount of
time elapsed from the effective date of the May 2019 amendment. The Company accounted for the amendment as a
modification of existing debt and deferred an insignificant amount of offering costs on the consolidated balance
sheet as of June 30, 2019. As of June 30, 2019, approximately $28.3 million of aggregate principal amount was
outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility, and $1.1 million of unamortized debt costs associated with the
Revolving Credit Facility was included in other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

107

Term Loan

In December 2017, the Company entered into a credit and security agreement with a lender (the “Term Loan

Agreement”). The Term Loan Agreement provides for an initial term loan of $40.0 million with an additional
tranche of $20.0 million undrawn and available through December 31, 2018, if specified conditions are met (the
“Term Loan”). In connection with the Amendment, the Company used a portion of the net proceeds from the initial
advance to repay a portion of the outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility. Interest on the Term
Loan is payable monthly in arrears at an annual interest rate of 6.75% plus 90-day LIBOR. The Term Loan
Agreement matures December 15, 2022 and, if prepaid, has fees equal to 3%, 2%, and 1% of the prepayment
amount if such termination occurs within the first year, the second year, and the third year of funding, respectively.
The term of the loan is 60 months with interest only for the first 24 months followed by straight-line amortization of
principal for the remaining months. In addition, the Company will pay an annual administrative fee of 0.25% and a
final payment of 4.0% of the Term Loan amount.

In December 2018, the Company drew an additional $5.0 million under the Term Loan Agreement and in
connection therewith entered into the second amendment to the Term Loan Agreement (“Amendment 2”) which,
among other things, (i) extended the term loan tranche 2 commitment termination date for the remaining $15.0
million unfunded commitment from December 31, 2018 to June 30, 2019; (ii) provided that term loan tranche 2 may
be drawn in two separate advances; and (iii) updated the calculation of the prepayment fee such that it is based on
the amount of time elapsed from the effective date of Amendment 2.

In May 2019, the Company amended the Term Loan Agreement to, among other things, increase the loan tranch

2 commitment by $0.5 million, extend the maturity date to May 30, 2024, decrease the annual interest rate from
6.75% plus 90-day LIBOR to 5.50% plus 90-day LIBOR, and modify the calculation prepayment fee such that it is
based on the amount of time elapsed from the effective date of the May 2019 amendment. The Company accounted
for the amendment as a modification of existing debt and recorded approximately $1.5 million of debt discount costs
associated with the amendment against long-term debt on the consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2019.

As of June 30, 2019, approximately $63.0 million aggregate principal amount was outstanding.

Note 11. Shareholders’ Equity

At June 30, 2019, the Company had 8.9 million shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the stock

incentive plans and the employee stock purchase plan.

Note 12. Stock Incentive Plan and Employee Stock Purchase Plan

As of June 30, 2019, the Company had three outstanding stock incentive plans: the 2016 Equity Incentive Plan,
or the 2016 Plan; the 2007 Incentive Award Plan, or the 2007 Plan; and the 1998 Stock Incentive Plan, or the 1998
Plan. The 2016 Plan permits the granting of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards,
performance shares, performance units, and restricted stock units, or RSUs. The vesting of RSUs granted under the
2016 Plan are primarily service-based (over the requisite service period) while the vesting of performance units
granted under the 2016 Plan are primarily performance-based, or PSUs, or market-based, or MSUs. Only employees
of the Company are eligible to receive incentive stock options. Non-employees may be granted non-qualified stock
options.

Stock options granted under the 2016 Plan have an exercise price of at least 100% of the fair market value of the

underlying stock on the grant date. The stock options have 10 year contractual terms and generally become
exercisable for 25% of the option shares one year from the date of grant and then ratably over the following
36 months. Service-based RSUs granted under the equity plans generally vest 25% of the share units covered by the
grant on each of the first through fourth anniversaries of the date of the grant, subject to the continued service of the
grantee through each such date. However, certain of the outstanding RSUs under our equity plans vest 50% upon the
first anniversary year of the grant date, and 50% upon the second anniversary year of the grant date. The Board of
Directors has the discretion to use different vesting schedules.

As of June 30, 2019, the 2007 Plan and the 1998 Plan each continued to remain in effect; however, the Company

can no longer grant equity awards under such plans.

Determining Fair Value of Stock Options

The fair value of each grant of stock options was determined by the Company using the methods and assumptions

discussed below. Each of these inputs is subjective and generally requires significant judgment to determine.

Valuation and Amortization Method—The Company estimates the fair value of its stock options using the
Black-Scholes option-pricing model. This fair value is then amortized over the requisite service periods of the
awards.

Expected Term—The Company estimates the expected term of stock option by taking the average of the vesting

term and the contractual term of the option, as illustrated by the simplified method.

Expected Volatility—The expected volatility is derived from the Company’s historical stock volatility over a

period approximately equal to the expected term of the options.

Risk-Free Interest Rate—The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve on the date of grant.

Dividend Yield—The dividend yield assumption is based on the Company’s history and expectation of no

dividend payouts.

The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above represents the total pre-tax intrinsic value (the difference between

the fair value of the Company’s common stock on June 28, 2019 of $3.87 and the exercise price of the options that
would have been received by option holders if all options exercisable had been exercised on June 30, 2019. The total
intrinsic value of options exercised in the years ended June 30, 2019, 2018 and 2017 was approximately
$0.1 million, $0.1 million and $0.1 million, respectively.

During the years ended June 30, 2019, 2018 and 2017, the Company recognized $1.4 million, $0.6 million and

$0.5 million, respectively, of share-based compensation expense for stock options granted to employees.

110

Tax benefits from tax deductions for exercised options and disqualifying dispositions in excess of the deferred
tax asset attributable to stock compensation costs for such options are credited to additional paid-in capital. Upon
adoption of ASU 2016-09 on July 1, 2017, the benefit are recognized against income taxes. Realized excess tax
benefits related to stock options exercises was zero for each of the years ended June 30, 2019, 2018 and 2017.

As of June 30, 2019, there was approximately $10.1 million of unrecognized compensation cost, net of estimated

forfeitures, related to restricted stock, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of
1.65 years.

Restricted Stock Units

The Company recognized $7.2 million, $7.8 million and $9.5 million of share-based compensation expense, net

of estimated forfeitures, related to RSUs during the years ended June 30, 2019, 2018 and 2017. The weighted
average grant date fair value per share of RSUs was $3.68, $4.57 and $5.03 for the years ended June 30, 2019, 2018
and 2017, respectively. The aggregate fair market value of RSUs that vested during the year ended June 30, 2019
was $6.2 million.

Performance Stock Units

The Compensation Committee approved the grant of zero, 53,000 and 10,000 PSUs to select employees of the

Company in the years ended June 30, 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Of these PSUs, 10,000, zero and zero
vested in the years ended June 30, 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively, due to the achievement of the requisite
performance targets while 53,000 were cancelled in the year ended June 30, 2019. No PSUs were cancelled in the
years ended June 30, 2018 and 2017.

The Company recognized a benefit of $0.1 million and expense of $0.1 million, and zero, of share-based

compensation expense, net of estimated forfeitures, related to PSUs during the years ended June 30, 2019, 2018, and
2017, respectively.

Market Stock Units

The Compensation Committee approved the performance equity program, referred to as the market stock unit

program, or MSU program, in October 2012. The Company’s MSU Program uses the Russell 2000 index as a
performance benchmark and requires that the Company’s total stockholder return match or exceed that of the
Russell 2000. Based on a sliding scale of how much the Company’s total stockholder return outperforms the Russell
2000 benchmark, the participating executives can earn up to a maximum of 150% of the target number of shares
over two measurement periods. The Company uses a Monte-Carlo simulation to calculate the fair value of the award
on the grant date. The Compensation Committee approved the grant of zero, 0.6 million and 0.7 million MSUs to
select employees of the Company in the years ended June 30, 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Of these MSUs,
zero, zero and 0.2 million vested in the years ending June 30, 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively, due to the
Company’s total stockholder return performance against the Russell 2000 index while 0.8 million, 0.6 million and
0.4 million MSUs were cancelled in the years ended June 30, 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

The Company recognized $1.0 million, $2.6 million and $2.5 million of share-based compensation expense, net
of estimated forfeitures, related to MSUs during the years ended June 30, 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively. There
were no MSUs granted during the year ended June 30, 2019. The weighted average grant date fair value per share
of MSUs was $4.11, and $5.20 for the years ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. As of June 30, 2019, there
was approximately $1.0 million of unrecognized compensation cost, net of estimated forfeitures, related to MSUs.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

Under the Company’s Amended and Restated 2007 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, or ESPP, qualified

employees are permitted to purchase the Company’s common stock at 85% of the lower of the fair market value of
the common stock on the commencement date of each offering period or the fair market value on the specified
purchase date. The ESPP is deemed compensatory and compensation costs are accounted for under ASC 718, Stock
Compensation. Employees’ payroll deductions may not exceed 10% of their salaries. Employees may purchase up to
2,500 shares per period provided that the value of the shares purchased in any calendar year may not exceed
$25,000, as calculated pursuant to the purchase plan.

112

The Company estimates the fair value of ESPP shares at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing

model. The weighted average assumptions were as follows:

Risk–free interest rate............................................
Dividend yield .......................................................
Expected term........................................................
Expected volatility.................................................

2019
2.11% - 2.72%
—%
0.5 - 1.0
30.9% - 60.0%

Years Ended June 30,
2018
1.07% –2.28%
—%
0.5 – 1.0
31.3% – 51.1%

2017
0.49% – 0.70%
—%
0.5 – 1.0
24.6% – 42.0%

The risk-free rate for the expected term of the ESPP option was based on the U.S. Treasury Constant Maturity
rate for each offering period; expected volatility was based on the historical volatility of the Company’s common
stock; and the expected term was based upon the offering period of the ESPP. For the years ended June 30, 2019,
2018 and 2017, the Company recognized $1.1 million, $1.2 million and $1.2 million, respectively, of compensation
expense related to its ESPP.

The Company issued 0.9 million and 0.9 million shares under the ESPP in fiscal 2019 and 2018, respectively, at

a weighted average price per share of $3.31 and $3.62, respectively. As of June 30, 2019, total unrecognized
compensation cost related to the ESPP plan was $0.6 million, which the Company expects to recognize over a
weighted average period of 0.8 years.

As of June 30, 2019, the Company had approximately $330.9 million and $131.6 million in federal and state net
operating loss carryforwards, respectively. The federal and state carryforwards expire in varying amounts beginning
in 2025 for federal and 2020 for state purposes. As of July 1, 2017, the Company adopted ASU 2016-09 and as a
result recognized a stock compensation excess windfall that was converted into net operating losses deferred tax
which did not materially affect the deferred tax balance.

114

In addition, as of June 30, 2019, the Company had federal and state research and development tax credits of
approximately $20.6 million and $20.1 million, respectively. If not utilized, the federal research credits will begin to
expire in 2020, the California research credits have no expiration date, and the other state research credits will begin
to expire in 2020.

Under the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”) Sections 382 and 383, annual use of our net operating loss and

research tax credit carryforwards to offset taxable income may be limited based on cumulative changes in
ownership. Although ownership changes have occurred in the past, the carryovers should be available for utilization
by the Company before they expire, provided the Company generates sufficient future taxable income. There were
no equity financings in the current fiscal year that would result in an ownership change under Section 382. The
Company will continue to monitor the changes in equity that would affect the tax attributes as reported.

Based on the available objective evidence and history of losses, the Company has established a 100% valuation

allowance against the combined domestic net deferred tax assets of Accuray and TomoTherapy because of
uncertainty surrounding the realization of such deferred tax assets.

In December 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (Tax Act) was signed into law which significantly amends

the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, among other things reduces the corporate tax rate from a top marginal rate of
35% to a flat rate of 21%, imposes a one-time tax on offshore earnings at reduced rates regardless of whether they
are repatriated, limits the tax deduction for interest expense to 30% of adjusted tax earnings, eliminates net operating
loss carrybacks, and allows for federal net operating losses (“NOL”) to be carried over indefinitely for NOL
generated after December 31, 2017.

As permitted by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 ("SAB 118"),
the Company has completed its accounting analysis based on the guidance, interpretations, and data available as of
June, 30, 2019. The Company has finalized its assessment of the transitional impacts of the Tax Act, which did not
impact its tax expense for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019. Any future legislative changes, as well as any other
new or proposed Treasury regulations, which have yet to be issued, will continue to be assessed and evaluated.

The Tax Act has a requirement that certain income earned by controlled foreign corporations (“CFCs”) must be
included currently in the gross income of the CFC’s U.S. shareholder. The income required to be included in gross
income is referred to as global intangible low tax income (“GILTI”) and is defined under IRC Section 951A as the
excess of the shareholder’s net CFC tested income over the net deemed tangible income return. The GILTI inclusion
amount has been absorbed by net operating losses. The Company has made a policy decision to record GILTI tax as
a current-period expense when incurred.

The Tax Act also enacted the Base Erosion and Anti-Abuse Tax (“BEAT”). The BEAT minimum tax under IRC
Section 59A is applicable to the extent that the BEAT tax amount is greater than the regular corporate tax for a given
year. This tax is applicable to companies with prior 3-year average annual gross receipts exceeding $500 million.
The Company does not currently meet this threshold since its current average annual gross receipts is less than
$500 million.

The Company continues to permanently re-invest its $39.7 million undistributed earnings of its foreign
subsidiaries outside the U.S. Future repatriation of the Company's foreign earnings are subject to income taxes.

The calculation of unrecognized tax benefits involves dealing with uncertainties in the application of complex

global tax regulations. Management regularly assesses the Company’s tax positions with respect to legislative,
bilateral tax treaty, regulatory and judicial developments in the countries in which the Company does business. The
reduction in prior year’s tax positions primarily relates to lapses of applicable statutes of limitations. The Company
anticipates that except for $0.01 million in uncertain tax positions that may be reduced related to the lapse of various
statutes of limitation, there will be no material changes in uncertain tax positions in the next 12 months. As of
June 30, 2019, the amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits was $16.3 million of which $14.4 million would not
affect income tax expense before consideration of any valuation allowance.

The Company’s practice is to recognize interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax

expense. As of June 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company had approximately $0.06 million and $0.04 million,
respectively, of accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions.

The Company files income tax returns in the United States federal, various states and foreign jurisdictions. Due
to tax attributes being carried forward and utilized during open years, the statute of limitations remains open for the
U.S. federal jurisdiction and domestic states for tax years from 1999 and forward. The statutes of limitation with
respect to the foreign jurisdictions where the Company files income tax returns vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction
and range from 3 to 10 years, and the material foreign jurisdictions are France, Switzerland, and Japan.

The Company is also subject to examination of its income tax returns by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and
other tax authorities, and in some cases the Company has received additional tax assessments which have not been
significant. During fiscal year 2017, the Company received tax assessments from the Swiss Vaud Canton tax
administration for the 2013, 2015 and 2016 tax periods. The Swiss total assessment of $0.1 million was settled in
2017. In fiscal 2018, the Company was audited by the French tax authorities for the fiscal periods 2015, 2016 and
2017 with no material assessment.

Note 14. Employee Benefit Plan

The Company’s employee savings and retirement plan is qualified under Section 401(k) of the United States
Internal Revenue Code. Employees may make voluntary, tax-deferred contributions to the 401(k) Plan up to the
statutorily prescribed annual limit. The Company makes discretionary matching contributions to the 401(k) Plan on
behalf of employees up to the limit determined by the Board of Directors. The Company contributed $2.1 million,
$2.2 million and $2.0 million to the 401(k) Plan during the years ended June 30, 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Note 15. Defined Benefit Pension Obligation

The Company has established a defined pension plan for its employees in its Switzerland subsidiary. The plan

provides benefits to employees upon retirement, death or disability. The Company uses June 30 as the year-end
measurement date for this plan. The unfunded liability of $3.3 million was recognized in long-term other liabilities
in the accompanying balance sheet as of June 30, 2019. Actuarial loss of $0.7 million was recognized in other
comprehensive loss in fiscal 2019.

Plan Assets

The plan assets are invested in insurance contracts with Swiss Life Foundation BVG (BVG) insurance company

based in Zurich, Switzerland at the end of fiscal year 2019 and 2018 and are expected to be invested 100% in
insurance contracts in fiscal 2020, which are reinsured by Swiss Life Ltd (SLL). SLL invests the vested pension
capital and provides a 100% capital and interest rate guarantee as negotiated by the Company. In 2019, the
Company negotiated a guaranteed interest rate of 1.00% for mandatory retirement savings and 0.25% for
supplementary retirement savings. The pension plan is entitled to an annual bonus from the SLL comprising the
effective savings, risk and cost results. The technical administration and management of the savings account are
guaranteed by the SLL on behalf of BVG. Insurance benefits due are paid directly to the entitled persons by the SLL
in the name of and for the account of the collective foundation. The Company has committed itself to pay the annual
contributions and costs due under the pension fund regulations.

The contract of affiliation between the Company and BVG can be terminated by either side. In the event of a

termination, recipients of retirement and survivors’ benefits would remain with the collective foundation. The
Company commits itself to transfer its active insured members and recipients of disability benefits to the new
employee benefits institution, thus releasing BVG from all obligations.

Note 16. Segment Disclosure

Item 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the

effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of
the Exchange Act) as of June 30, 2019.

Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of the end of

the period covered by our Annual Report on Form 10-K, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to
provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit
under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the
SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including
our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosure.

(b) Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as
such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act. Under the supervision and with the participation of the
Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of
our internal control over financial reporting based upon the guidelines established in Internal Control—Integrated
Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) 2013.

Based on this evaluation, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective

as of June 30, 2019.

Grant Thornton LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, has audited the consolidated financial
statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K and, as part of the audit, has issued a report, included in
Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as
of June 30, 2019.

(c) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has
evaluated any changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended
June 30, 2019, and has concluded that there was no change during such quarter that has materially affected, or is
reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Inherent Limitations of Internal Controls

Internal control over financial reporting cannot provide absolute assurance of achieving financial reporting
objectives because of its inherent limitations. Internal control over financial reporting is a process that involves
human diligence and compliance and is subject to lapses in judgment and breakdowns resulting from human
failures. Internal control over financial reporting also can be circumvented by collusion or improper management
override. Because of such limitations, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on
a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. However, these inherent limitations are known features of
the financial reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not
eliminate, this risk.

Item 9B. OTHER INFORMATION

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Board of Directors and Stockholders
Accuray Incorporated

Opinion on internal control over financial reporting

We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of Accuray Incorporated (a Delaware corporation) and
subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of June 30, 2019, based on criteria established in the 2013 Internal Control—
Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission
(“COSO”). In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial
reporting as of June 30, 2019, based on criteria established in the 2013 Internal Control—Integrated Framework
issued by COSO.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United
States) (“PCAOB”), the consolidated financial statements of the Company as of and for the year ended June 30,
2019, and our report dated August 23, 2019 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.

Basis for opinion

The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and
for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on
the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm
registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the
U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and
the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting
was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over
financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating
effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered
necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Definition and limitations of internal control over financial reporting

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance
regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting
includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail,
accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable
assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made
only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable
assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s
assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

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

nctions 
Most side effects of radiotherapy, including radiotherapy delivered with Accuray systems, are mild and temporary, often involving fatigue, nausea, and skin irritation. Side effects can be severe, however, leading to pain, alterations in normal body functions

n no

(for example, urinary or salivary function), deterioration of quality of life, permanent injury, and even death. Side effects can occur during or shortly after radiation treatment or in the months and years following radiation. The nature and severity of side

and 

effects depend on many factors, including the size and location of the treated tumor, the treatment technique (for example, the radiation dose), and the patient’s general medical condition, to name a few. For more details about the side effects of your 

effects 

radiation therapy, and to see if treatment with an Accuray product is right for you, ask your doctor.
