Cash and investments increased by $60.0 million this quarter to $223.5 million driven by operating results and cash proceeds from employee stock option exercises.
GAAP
Gross margin for the second quarter of 2014 was 40.2%, up sharply from 29.8% in the second quarter of 2013 due to higher revenue, product mix and better factory execution. Operating expenses for the second quarter of 2014 were $85.3 million, up sequentially due to merger and integration related costs.

Outlook:
The company believes second half revenue will be between $550 million and $600 million, up 11% at the midpoint from the prior year. While the split of this revenue between the third and fourth quarters depends on major program timing, the company currently expects third quarter revenue to range between $255 million and $265 million. Third quarter non-GAAP gross margin is expected to be between 43% and 45%, driven by strong execution, higher factory utilization and product mix. Non-GAAP operating expenses are expected to be approximately $70 million. Third quarter non-GAAP net income per diluted share is expected to be between $0.23 and $0.25. As of today, the company is 93% booked to the midpoint of Q3 revenue guidance.
