Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures abo ut Market Risk
In the normal course of doing business, we are exposed to the risks associated with foreign currency exchange rates and changes in interest rates. We employ established policies and procedures governing the use of financial instruments to manage our exposure to such risks. Information about our market risk is presented in Part II, Item 7A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended July 1, 2022. There have been no material changes to the Company’s market risk during the first three months of fiscal 2023.

Exchange Rate Risk
We conduct business globally in numerous currencies and are therefore exposed to foreign currency risks. We use derivative instruments to reduce the volatility of earnings and cash flows associated with changes in foreign currency exchange rates. We do not hold or issue derivatives for trading purposes or make speculative investments in foreign currencies.
We use foreign exchange forward contracts to hedge forecasted foreign currency transactions relating to forecasted sales and purchase transactions. The foreign exchange hedges do not qualify as cash flow hedges. The changes in fair value related to the hedges were recorded in income or expenses line items on our statements of operations.
We also enter into foreign exchange forward contracts to mitigate the change in fair value of specific non-functional currency assets and liabilities on the balance sheet. All balance sheet hedges are marked to market through earnings every period. Changes in the fair value of these derivatives are largely offset by re-measurement of the underlying assets and liabilities.
As of September 30, 2022, there were no forward contracts in foreign currency.
Certain of our international business is transacted in non-U.S. dollar currency. As discussed above, we utilize foreign currency hedging instruments to minimize the currency risk of international transactions. The impact of translating the assets and liabilities of foreign operations to U.S. dollars for the first three months of fiscal 2023 and 2022 was $(1.1) million and $(0.2) million, respectively, and was included as a component of stockholders’ equity. As of September 30, 2022 and July 1, 2022, the accumulated other comprehensive income, driven by cumulative translation adjustments decreased our equity by $17.1 million and $16.0 million, respectively.
Interest Rate Risk
Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to our cash equivalents and borrowings under our credit facility.
Exposure on Cash Equivalents
We had $21.6 million in total cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2022. Cash equivalents totaled $10.2 million as of September 30, 2022 and were comprised of money market funds and bank certificates of deposit. Cash equivalents investments have been recorded at fair value on our balance sheet. Fair value is measured using inputs that fall into a three-level hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value based on observability of such inputs. For more information on the fair value measurements of cash equivalents, please refer to “Note 3 Fair Value Measurements of Assets and Liabilities” of the Notes to unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Our cash equivalents earn interest at fixed rates; therefore, changes in interest rates will not generate a gain or loss on these investments unless they are sold prior to maturity. The weighted-average days to maturity for cash equivalents held as of September 30, 2022 was 33 days, and these investments had an average yield of approximately 5.76% per annum. A 10% change in interest rates on our cash equivalents is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
Exposure on Borrowings
Our borrowings under the SVB Credit Facility incurred interest at the prime rate plus a spread of 0.50% to 1.50% with such spread determined based on our adjusted quick ratio. During the first three months of fiscal 2023, our weighted-average interest rate was 5.83%, and the interest expense on these borrowings was immaterial.
A 10% change in interest rates on the current borrowings or on future borrowings is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows since interest on our borrowings is not material to our overall financial position.
