NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)

1. Basis of Presentation

Our interim financial periods are based on a thirteen-week internal accounting calendar. In our opinion, the accompanying balance sheets, interim statements of operations and statements of cash flows include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring items, necessary for their fair presentation in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The financial statements include the accounts of Intermec and our subsidiaries. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. Equity investments in which we exercise significant influence but do not exercise control and are not the primary beneficiary are accounted for using the equity method. Investments in which we are not able to exercise significant influence over the investee are accounted for under the cost method. Preparing our financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses, and financial data included in the accompanying notes to the financial statements. Actual results and outcomes may differ from our estimates and assumptions.

Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. The information included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year-ended December 31, 2008 (the “Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008”). The same accounting policies are followed for preparing quarterly and annual financial information unless disclosed otherwise in the notes below.
 
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In April 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued FASB Staff Position ("FSP") No. FAS 142-3, Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets. The final FSP amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No.142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. We adopted this FSP effective January 1, 2009. The adoption of this standard did not have material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 ("SFAS No. 161"), which requires additional disclosures about the objectives of the derivative instruments and hedging activities, the method of accounting for such instruments under SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (as amended) ("SFAS No. 133") and its related interpretations, and a tabular disclosure of the effects of such instruments and related hedged items on our financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. We adopted SFAS No. 161 effective January 1, 2009. The adoption of SFAS No. 161 had no financial impact on our consolidated financial statements and only required additional disclosures. We have applied the requirements of SFAS No. 161 prospectively. Therefore, disclosures related to comparative periods prior to the date of adoption have not been presented. See note 3, Derivative Instruments, for details.

In February 2008, the FASB issued FSP 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157, which delays the effective date of SFAS 157,  Fair Value Measurements ("SFAS No. 157") for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except for items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring  basis (at least annually). In addition, the FASB issued FSP 157-3, Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset Is Not Active ("FSP 157-3"), which clarified the application of how the fair value of a financial asset is determined when the market for that financial asset is inactive. FSP 157-3 was effective upon issuance. FSP 157-2 was effective for us beginning January 1, 2009. The adoption of this standard did not have material impact on our consolidated financial statements. See note 2, Fair Value Measurements, for details.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51 ("SFAS No.160"), which establishes the accounting and reporting for noncontrolling interests.  Noncontrolling interests should be reported as a component of equity separate from the parent’s equity, and purchases or sales of equity interests that do not result in a change in control will be accounted for as equity transactions. The amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interests should be identified and presented on the face of the consolidated statement of income. We adopted SFAS No. 160 effective January 1, 2009. The adoption of SFAS No. 160 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In December 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 132 (R) -1, Employers’ Disclosures about Postretirement Benefit Plan Assets, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 132 (revised 2003) ("FSP No. 132 (R) -1"). It provides guidance on an employer’s disclosures about plan assets, including: how investment allocation decisions are made and factors that are pertinent to an understanding of investment policies and strategies; the major categories of plan assets; the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure the fair value of plan assets; the effect of fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (level 3) on changes in plan assets for the period, and significant concentrations of risks within plan assets. FSP 132 (R) -1 is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2009. We are currently assessing the potential impact that adoption of this standard may have on our financial statements.
 
In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments.  It requires the fair value for all financial instruments within the scope of SFAS No. 107, Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments ("SFAS No. 107"), to be disclosed in the interim periods as well as in annual financial statements.  This standard is effective for the quarter ending after June 15, 2009.  We are currently assessing the potential impact that adoption of this standard may have on our financial statements.
 
In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 157-4, Determing Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly. It clarifies the objective and method of fair value measurement even when there has been a significant decrease in market activity for the asset being measured. This standard is effective for the quarter ending after June 15, 2009. We are currently assessing the potential impact that adoption of this standard may have on our financial statements.
 
Reclassification

Certain amounts within the 2008 condensed consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2009 presentation.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

Effective January 1, 2009, all other nonfinancial assets and liabilities measured at fair values in the financial statements on a nonrecurring basis are subject to SFAS No. 157. Nonfinancial nonrecurring assets and liabilities included on our condensed consolidated balance sheets include long lived assets that are measured at fair value to test for and measure an impairment charge, when necessary. No such nonfinancial assets or liabilities were subject to SFAS No. 157 for the quarter ended March 29, 2009.

3. Derivative Instruments

Effective January 1, 2009, we adopted the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 161. Due to our global operations, we are exposed to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations in the normal course of our businesses. Our treasury policies allow us to offset the risks associated with the effects of certain foreign currency exposures through the purchase of foreign exchange forward contracts.  Our policy prohibits speculation in financial instruments for profit on the exchange rate price fluctuation. We enter into foreign exchange forward contracts to primarily hedge the impact of fluctuations of foreign exchange arising from intercompany transactions, specifically for inventory purchases made by our subsidiaries that are denominated in U.S. dollars. Our foreign exchange forward contracts are not designated as hedging instruments pursuant to SFAS No. 133. Accordingly, we record these contracts at fair value, with changes in value recognized in earnings in the period of change and the fair values of these contracts are recorded on the consolidated balance sheets. As of March 29, 2009, the aggregate notional amounts of the forward contracts we held for foreign currencies were $83.0 million.  These contracts do not contain any credit-risk-related contingent features.

We attempt to manage the counterparty risk associated with these foreign forward exchange contracts by limiting transactions to counterparties with which we have an established banking relationship. In addition, these contracts generally settle in approximately 30 days. See Note 2, Fair Value Measurements, for information on the fair value of these contracts.

The fair value of derivative assets was $1.3 million and the fair value of derivative liabilities was $1.9 million at March 29, 2009.  We recorded a net of $0.6 million in accounts payable and accrued expenses in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of March 29, 2009.

The amount of net gain recorded in selling, general and administrative expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations was not material for the quarter ended March 29, 2009.

4. Inventories

Inventories comprise the following (in thousands):

   
March 29, 2009
   
December 31, 2008
 
Raw materials
  $ 41,576     $ 45,908  
Service parts

Finished goods
    56,475       62,000  
Inventories, net
  $ 107,541     $ 116,949  

In addition to the inventories described above, service parts inventories totaling $4.2 million and $4.0 million that are not expected to be sold within the next 12 months are classified as other assets as of March 29, 2009, and December 31, 2008, respectively.

5. Income Tax (benefit) expense

The tax benefit for the quarter ended March 29, 2009, reflects an effective tax rate for continuing operations of 36.3% compared to a U.S. statutory rate of 35%.  The effective tax rate reflects our estimated annual effective tax rate of approximately 37% for fiscal year 2009, which excludes the impact of discrete items. The tax provision for the quarter ended March 30, 2008, reflected an effective tax rate for continuing operations of 36.3% compared to a U.S. statutory rate of 35%. The tax provision for the quarter ended March 30, 2008, included a 1.4% benefit related to the settlement of a foreign tax dispute.

6. Shares Used in Computing Earnings per Share

Basic (loss) earnings per share is calculated using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and issuable for the applicable period. Diluted (loss) earnings per share is computed using basic weighted average shares plus the dilutive effect of unvested restricted stock and outstanding stock options using the “treasury stock” method.

   
Quarter Ended
   
March 29, 2009

Weighted average shares - basic

-
 
518,473
Weighted average shares - diluted
   
61,455,061
 
61,474,940

Our employees and directors held options to purchase 2,709,667 and 1,532,065 shares of our common stock for the quarters ended March 29, 2009 and March 30, 2008, respectively, that were not included in weighted average shares diluted because they were antidilutive to the diluted earnings per share computation. These options would become dilutive in future periods if the average market price of our common stock exceeds the exercise price of the outstanding options and we report net earnings.

The Black-Scholes assumptions used for these calculations were as follows:

8. Segment Reporting

Our reportable segments are comprised of products and services. The product segment generates revenue from the design, development, manufacture, sale and resale of wired and wireless automated identification and data collection (“AIDC”) products, mobile computing products, wired and wireless bar code printers, label media and radio frequency identification (“RFID”) products and license fees. The service segment generates revenue from customer support, product maintenance and other services related to the products and systems integration.

The accounting policies of our two reportable segments are the same as those used to prepare our condensed consolidated financial statements. Performance and resource allocations are primarily measured by sales and gross profit. All other earnings, costs and expenses are aggregated and reported on a consolidated basis.

For the quarters ended March 29, 2009, and March 30, 2008, one distributor, ScanSource Inc., accounted for more than 10% of our revenues. Total sales to this distributor were $20.2 million and $26.6 million for the quarters ended March 29, 2009, and March 30, 2008, respectively.

The following table sets forth our revenues and gross profit by reportable segment (in thousands):

11. Restructuring Charges

    2008 Restructuring Charges:

In July 2008, we committed to a business restructuring plan intended to reduce our cost structure and streamline operations. Pursuant to this plan, we relocated the final assembly of our current product lines from Everett, Washington, to Venture Corporation Limited, a global electronics services provider.  As part of the plan, we also consolidated two U.S. service depots into existing locations in Charlotte, North Carolina and Monterey, Mexico and transferred our on-site field service repair to a third party supplier. We commenced implementation of the plan in the third quarter of 2008 and expect the plan to be fully implemented by June 30, 2009.  All severance and other periodic transitional costs will be cash expenditures. All the restructuring costs were accrued in 2008.

    2009 Restructuring Charges:
 
In January 2009, we committed to a business restructuring plan intended to reorganize our sales function and to reduce our operating cost structure and improve efficiency. We believe these actions are appropriate strategically and are prudent adjustments in view of the generally weakened global economy and uncertain market conditions expected in the foreseeable future. The total restructuring costs are expected to be approximately $10.2 million, including employee termination costs of approximately $9.4 million and $0.8 million of other periodic transitional costs. We recorded $8.6 million of the restructuring charge in the first quarter of 2009, and we expect the remainder will be recorded in the second quarter of 2009. We anticipate that all of the severance related and periodic transitional costs will be cash expenditures. Our remaining future expected costs are $1.0 million for employee termination and $0.6 million for other costs.
 
In April 2009, we committed to a business restructuring plan including a reduction of our work force. We believe these actions are appropriate strategically and are prudent adjustments in view of the generally weakened global economy and uncertain market conditions expected in the foreseeable future. The total restructuring costs are expected to be in a range of $15.0 to $17.0 million, including employee termination costs of approximately $12.5 to $13.5 million and $2.5 to $3.5 million of other periodic transitional costs. We expect to record approximately $9.0 to $10.0 million in the second quarter of 2009, and the remainder in the rest of 2009. We anticipate that all of the severance related and periodic transitional costs will be cash expenditures.

Overview

Intermec, Inc. (“Intermec”, “us”, “we”, “our”) designs, develops, integrates, sells, resells and services wired and wireless  automated identification and data collection (“AIDC”) products and provides related services. Our products include mobile computing products, bar code scanners, radio frequency identification (“RFID”) products, wired and wireless bar code printers and label media products. These products and services allow customers to identify, track and manage their assets and other resources in ways that improve the efficiency and effectiveness of their business operations.  Our products are designed to withstand mobile use and rugged warehouse and field conditions.

Our products are sold globally for field mobility applications such as asset visibility and management, direct store delivery, maintenance and repair, in-transit visibility, routing and navigation, and telematics. Our products are also sold globally for in-premise applications such as asset visibility, freight yard operations, inventory management, warehouse operations, and work-in-process management.
 
The key elements of our strategy are to target high growth opportunities in selected application markets; focus on developing and selling differentiated new products and services; emphasize channel fulfillment; pursue geographic expansion opportunities; and continue the transformation of our supply chain and our other efficiency initiatives.

Our financial reporting currency is the U.S. Dollar, and changes in exchange rates can significantly affect our financial trends and reported results.  If the U.S. Dollar weakens year-over-year relative to currencies in our international locations, our consolidated revenues, costs of revenues and operating expenses will be higher than if currencies had remained constant. If the U.S. Dollar strengthens year-over-year relative to currencies in our international locations, our consolidated revenues, costs of revenues and operating expenses will be lower than if currencies had remained constant. We believe it is important to evaluate our operating results and growth rates before and after the effect of currency changes.

The decrease in quarterly revenue of $54.2 million, or 25.0%, was attributable to a $50.9 million decrease in product revenue, and a $3.3 million decrease in service revenue. The decrease in product revenue was attributable to a $32.9 million decrease in systems and solution products and an $18.0 million decrease in printer and media products. The $32.9 million, or 26.1% decline by systems and solutions, and the decline of $18.0 million, or 33.6%, in our printer and media business were attributable to an overall downturn in the global economy and the deferral of purchasing decisions by some of our customers.

Service revenues decreased $3.3 million, or 8.9%, over the corresponding prior-year period. This was due to a decrease in time and materials revenue in the mix of total service revenue.

Geographically, revenues in all regions decreased: North America, $10.5 million or 9.2%, EMEA, $39.0 million or 50.0%, and the rest of the world was down $4.7 million or 19.0%, respectively, over the corresponding prior-year period.  The changes in foreign currency conversion rates unfavorably impacted EMEA revenue by $7.7 million, or 10.2%, as compared to the prior year period. Across all regions the unfavorable impact of foreign currency rates was $10.3 million, or 4.8%, as compared to the prior year period.

The total gross profit for the quarter ended March 29, 2009, decreased $28.3 million, or 32.4%, compared to the corresponding prior-year period. The decrease in total gross profit primarily resulted from a $26.6 million decrease in product gross profit due to the product revenue decline and pressure on related gross margins.

Product gross margin for the quarter ended March 29, 2009, decreased 4.8% as compared to the quarter ended March 30, 2008. The decrease in product gross margin was primarily due to lower unit volume, unfavorable absorption of fixed costs on lower volumes and unfavorable impact of foreign currency. Service gross margins decreased 1.1 percentage points for the quarter ended March 29, 2009, over the corresponding prior-year period due to lower absorption of fixed costs because of lower volume.

The total research and development expense was $15.9 and $17.2 million for the quarters ended March 29, 2009 and March 30, 2008, respectively. The decrease was due to the timing of projects within our research and development group.
 
The total selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses were $51.0 million and $58.0 million for the quarters ended March 29, 2009, and March 30, 2008, respectively. The decrease in SG&A expense for the three months ended March 29, 2009, of $7.0 million, compared to the three month period ended March 30, 2008, was primarily related to sales expense. The reduction in selling expense is primarily due to the restructuring activities announced in January, 2009, and the favorable conversion of foreign denominated costs. Higher postretirement expense and foreign currency translation losses offset some of our cost reduction activities.

Net interest income was $0.1 million for the quarter ended March 29, 2009, compared to net interest expense of $0.1 million for the corresponding prior-year period. The $0.2 million increase in net interest income reflects the reduction in interest expense from the repayment of the final $100 million of our debt during the quarter ended March 30, 2008, offset by a lower average cash balance and significantly lower average interest rates.

    2008 Restructuring Charges:

In July 2008, we committed to a business restructuring plan intended to reduce our cost structure and streamline operations. Pursuant to this plan, we relocated the final assembly of our current product lines from Everett, Washington, to Venture Corporation Limited, a global electronics services provider.  As part of the plan, we also consolidated two U.S. service depots into existing locations in Charlotte, North Carolina and Monterey, Mexico and transferred our on-site field service repair to a third party supplier. We commenced implementation of the plan in the third quarter of 2008 and expect the plan to be fully implemented by June 30, 2009.  All severance and other periodic transitional costs will be cash expenditures. All the restructuring costs were accrued in 2008.
 
2009 Restructuring Charges:
 
In January 2009, we committed to a business restructuring plan intended to reorganize our sales function and to reduce our operating cost structure and improve efficiency. We believe these actions are appropriate strategically and are prudent adjustments in view of the generally weakened global economy and uncertain market conditions expected in the foreseeable future. The total restructuring costs are expected to be approximately $10.2 million, including employee termination costs of approximately $9.4 million and $0.8 million of other periodic transitional costs. We recorded $8.6 million of the restructuring charge in the first quarter of 2009, and we expect the remainder will be recorded in the second quarter of 2009. We anticipate that all of the severance related and periodic transitional costs will be cash expenditures. Our remaining future expected costs are $1.0 million for employee termination and $0.6 million for other costs. We expect to achieve an annual labor-related savings of approximately $14.0 million to $16.0 million upon completion of this restructuring plan.
 
In April 2009, we committed to a business restructuring plan including a reduction of our work force. We believe these actions are appropriate strategically and are prudent adjustments in view of the generally weakened global economy and uncertain market conditions expected in the foreseeable future. The total restructuring costs are expected to be in a range of $15.0 to $17.0 million, including employee termination costs of approximately $12.5 to $13.5 million and $2.5 to $3.5 million of other periodic transitional costs. We expect to record approximately $9.0 to $10.0 million in the second quarter of 2009, and the remainder in the rest of 2009. We anticipate that all of the severance related and periodic transitional costs will be cash expenditures.

The tax benefit for the quarter ended March 29, 2009 reflects an effective tax rate for continuing operations of 36.3% compared to a U.S. statutory rate of 35%. The effective tax rate reflects our estimated annual effective tax rate of approximately 37% for fiscal year 2009, which excludes the impact of discrete items.  The tax provision for the quarter ended March 30, 2008, reflected an effective tax rate for continuing operations of 36.3% compared to a U.S. statutory rate of 35%. The tax provision for the quarter ended March 30, 2008, included a 1.4% benefit related to settlement of a foreign tax dispute.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our principal sources of liquidity are cash flows generated from operations and our cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments balances, which, at fair value, were $216.1 million and $221.5 million at March 29, 2009, and December 31, 2008, respectively. Operating activities for the first quarter of 2009 provided lower cash flows compared to the first quarter of 2008 due to a net loss of $10.4 million and cash payment of approximately $4.3 million for restructuring activities. Cash used in investing activities for the first quarter of 2009 was $1.6 million. This was related to capital expenditures of $2.4 million and capitalized patent legal fees of $1.1 million, offset by proceeds from sale of property of $1.9 million. Cash used in financing activities for the first quarter of 2009 was $0.2 million, related primarily to the tax effect on stock based payment arrangement.

Under our 2007 Revolving Credit Facility ('Revolving Facility"), we have a maximum amount available of $50.0 million. As of March 29, 2009, net of outstanding letters of credit and limitations on minimum availability, we had borrowing capacity of $47.6 million under the Revolving Facility. We made no borrowings under the Revolving Facility during the first quarter of 2009 and, as of March 29, 2009, no borrowings were outstanding. As of March 29, 2009, we were in compliance with the covenants of the Revolving Facility.

There have been no changes to key terms of the Revolving Facility as previously disclosed on the Annual Report of Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.

We believe that cash and cash equivalents combined with projected cash flows from operations, will provide adequate funding to meet our expected working capital, restructuring cost requirements and capital expenditure for the foreseeable future. In the current economic environment, we may hold more cash than is required to fund our future investment in working capital, changing our cost structure and capital expenditures. Projected cash flows from operations are largely based on our revenue estimates, cost estimates, and the related timing of cash receipts and cash disbursements. If actual performance differs from estimated performance, cash flows from operations could be positively or negatively impacted. An additional source of liquidity includes our Revolving Credit Facility.

Contractual Obligations

Our contractual commitments as of March 29, 2009, have not changed materially from those disclosed in Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.
 
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
 
Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“US GAAP”). The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Actual amounts could differ from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Our critical accounting policies and estimates are discussed in Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008. There have been no material changes to the critical accounting policies and estimates previously disclosed in that report.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Due to our global operations, our cash flows and earnings are exposed to risk based on movements in foreign exchange rates.  We conduct business in approximately 90 countries throughout the world and generally invoice customers in their local currency and have a resulting foreign currency denominated revenue transaction and accounts receivable balance. We also purchase certain raw materials and other items in foreign currencies.

Our treasury policies allow us to offset the risks associated with the effects of certain foreign currency exposures through the purchase of foreign exchange forward contracts. Our policy prohibits speculation in financial instruments for profit on the exchange rate price fluctuation. We enter into foreign exchange forward contracts to primarily hedge the impact of fluctuations of foreign exchange arising from intercompany transactions, specifically for inventory purchases made by our subsidiaries that are denominated in U.S. dollars. Our foreign exchange forward contracts are not designated as hedging instruments pursuant to SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (as amended). Accordingly, we record these contracts at fair value, with changes in value recognized in earnings in the period of change and the fair values of these contracts are recorded on the consolidated balance sheets. These contracts do not contain any credit-risk-related contingent features.

We attempt to manage the counterparty risk associated with these forward foreign exchange contracts by limiting transactions to counterparties with which we have an established banking relationship. In addition, these contracts generally settle in approximately 30 days. See Note 2, Fair Value Measurements, and Note 3, Derivative Instruments, for additional information related to these contracts.

Except as noted in the preceding paragraph, as of March 29, 2009, there have been no material changes in information provided in Item 7A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008, which contains a complete discussion of our material exposures to interest rate and foreign exchange rate risks.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures, which are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, are recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer, or CEO, and Chief Financial Officer, or CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the CEO and CFO, an evaluation was performed on the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. Based on that evaluation, management, including the CEO and CFO, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 29, 2009.

An evaluation was also performed under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the CEO and CFO, of any change in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the last fiscal quarter and that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting. That evaluation did not identify any change in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the latest fiscal quarter and that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We currently, and from time to time, are subject to claims and lawsuits arising in the ordinary course of business. Such claims and lawsuits may take the form of counter claims in lawsuits we bring to enforce our rights. The ultimate resolution of currently pending proceedings is not expected to have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

You are encouraged to review the discussion of Forward Looking Statements and Risk Factors appearing in this report at Part I, “Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”
 
In addition to the other information set forth in this Report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or operating results. The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 are not the only risks facing our Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or operating results.
 
The risk factor included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 under the caption  “Macroeconomic conditions beyond our control could lead to decreases in demand for our products, reduced profitability or deterioration in the quality of our accounts receivable is restated in its entirety as follows:

Ÿ  
Macroeconomic conditions beyond our control could lead to decreases in demand for our products, reduced profitability or deterioration in the quality of our accounts receivable. Domestic and international economic, political and social conditions are uncertain due to a variety of factors, including

·  
  global, regional and national economic downturns;
·  
  the availability and cost of credit;
·  
  volatility in stock and credit markets;
·  
  energy costs;
·  
  fluctuations in currency exchange rates
·  
  the risk of global conflict;
·  
  the risk of terrorism and war in a given country or region; and
·  
  public health issues.

Our business depends on our customers’ demand for our products and services, the general economic health of current and prospective customers, and their desire or ability to make investments in technology.  A deterioration of global, regional or local political, economic or social conditions could affect potential customers in a way that reduces demand for our products and disrupts our manufacturing and sales plans and efforts.  These global, regional or local conditions also could disrupt commerce in ways that could interrupt our supply chain and our ability to get products to our customers.  These conditions may also affect our ability to conduct business as usual.  Changes in foreign currency exchange rates may negatively impact reported revenue and expenses.  In addition, our sales are typically made on unsecured credit terms that are generally consistent with the prevailing business practices in the country in which the customer is located. A deterioration of political, economic or social conditions in a given country or region could reduce or eliminate our ability to collect accounts receivable in that country or region. In any of these events, our results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.
 
The risk factor included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 under the caption  “Fluctuations in currency exchange rates may adversely impact our cash flows and earnings” is restated in its entirety as follows:

Ÿ  
Fluctuations in currency exchange rates may adversely impact our cash flows and earnings. Due to our global operations, our cash flows, revenue and earnings are exposed to currency exchange rate fluctuations.  Our international sales are typically quoted, billed and collected in the customer’s local currency, but our product costs are largely denominated in U.S. dollars.  Therefore, our product margins are exposed to changes in exchange rates.  In addition, exchange rate fluctuations may also affect the cost of goods and services that we purchase and personnel that we employ outside of the United States.  When appropriate, we may attempt to limit our exposure to exchange rate changes by entering into short-term currency exchange contracts. There is no assurance that we will hedge or will be able to hedge such foreign currency exchange risk or that our hedges will be successful.

Our currency exchange gains or losses (net of hedges) may materially and adversely impact our cash flows and earnings.  Additionally, adverse movements in currency exchange rates could result in increases in our cost of goods sold or reduction in growth in international orders, materially impacting our cash flows and earnings.

The risk factor included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 under the caption “We are dependent on Venture Corporation Limited for the manufacture of substantially all of our products and any failure or inability of Venture to provide its manufacturing services to us would adversely affect our business” is restated in its entirety as follows:

Ÿ
We are dependent on Venture Corporation Limited for the manufacture of substantially all of our current products and any failure or inability of Venture to provide its manufacturing services to us would adversely affect our business. In relying on Venture to assemble our current products, we no longer have direct physical control over the manufacturing process and operations.  This might adversely affect our ability to control the quality of our current products and the timeliness of their delivery to our customers.  Either of those potential consequences could adversely affect our customer relationships and our revenues.  Furthermore, Venture’s access to our intellectual property could possibly increase the risk of infringement or misappropriation of our assets.
 
If Venture were unable to manufacture our current products at one or more of its facilities for any extended period, we would be required to obtain alternative sources of manufacturing.  There is no assurance that any such sources would be available in a timely manner or at comparable cost.  Any such interruption of Venture’s manufacturing capabilities could increase our costs, impair our ability to provide our customers with our products in a timely and efficient manner and adversely affect our customer relationships and our financial results.




19
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS (continued)

The risk factor included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 under the caption  “Our business may be adversely affected if we do not continue to transform our supply chain, improve our business processes and systems and attract and retain skilled managers and employees” is restated in its entirety as follows:

Ÿ
Our business may be adversely affected if we do not continue to transform our supply chain, improve our business processes and systems and attract and retain skilled managers and employees. In order to increase sales and profits, we must continue to expand our operations into new product and geographic markets and deepen our penetration of the markets we currently serve, and do so in efficient and cost effective ways. To achieve our objectives, we need to continue to streamline our supply chain and our business processes and continue to improve our financial, information technology and enterprise resource planning systems.  To accomplish this, there may be times when we must significantly restructure our business and recognize the anticipated costs of such restructurings.  Such restructuring charges could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations.  Furthermore, there can be no assurance that such restructurings will accomplish their intended goals or will be cost effective if they do.  Reorganizations or restructurings may also adversely affect our workforce.  Competition for skilled employees is high in our industry, and we must remain competitive in terms of compensation and other employee benefits to retain key employees.  If we are unsuccessful in hiring and retaining skilled managers and employees, we will be unable to achieve the objectives of our restructuring programs or to maintain and expand our business.
