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 mainly 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 consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Intermec and our subsidiaries. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. 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, 2009, as amended (the “2009 Form 10-K”).
  
Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
 
In October 2009, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) updated its guidance on software revenue recognition. According to this update, tangible products containing software components and non-software components, which function together to deliver the tangible product’s essential functionality are no longer within the scope of the software revenue guidance. This update provides additional guidance on how to determine which software, if any, relating to the tangible product should be excluded from the scope of the software revenue guidance. This update will be effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2011. This update must be adopted in the same period using the same transition method as indicated below in the update to revenue arrangements with multiple deliverables. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In October 2009, the FASB updated its guidance on revenue arrangements with multiple deliverables. This guidance alters the criteria for separating consideration in multiple-deliverable arrangements. This update establishes a selling price hierarchy for determining the selling price of a deliverable. The selling price used for each deliverable will be based on vendor-specific objective evidence if available, third-party evidence if vendor-specific objective evidence is not available, or estimated selling price if neither vendor-specific objective evidence nor third-party evidence is available. This update also replaces the term “fair value” in the revenue allocation guidance with “selling price” to clarify that the allocation of revenue is based on entity-specific assumptions rather than assumptions of a market participant. It also eliminates the residual method of allocation and requires that arrangement consideration be allocated at the inception of the arrangements to all deliverables using the relative selling price method. This update will be effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2011. We are currently assessing the potential impact that adoption of this guidance may have on our consolidated financial statements.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)
 
Immaterial Restatement of the Statement of Cash Flows
 
Subsequent to the issuance of our 2009 consolidated financial statements, we determined that certain balances within the 2009 condensed consolidated statement of cash flows were misstated due to non-cash foreign currency adjustments related to working capital items that were inappropriately mapped to the effect of exchange rates on cash and cash equivalents contrary to ASC 230, Statement of Cash Flows. In addition, we corrected for the tax benefit from stock-based payment arrangements as prescribed by ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation. As a result, the affected line items under cash flows from operating activities, cash flows from financing activities, and effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents of the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the nine months ended September 27, 2009, have been restated as follows (in thousands):

  Net cash provided by operating activities
    18,108               1,255       19,363  
                                 
Cash flows from financing activities:
                               
Excess tax shortall (benefit) from stock-based payment arrangements
    (640 )             640       -  
  Net cash provided by financing activities
    1,042               640       1,682  
                                 
Effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents
  $ 7,488             $ (1,895 )   $ 5,593  
 
The restatements impacted only line items within the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows, and do not result in any change in the beginning and ending balances of cash and cash equivalents from the amounts previously reported. The restated line items do not have any impact on the condensed consolidated balance sheets or statements of operations for any period. In addition, the above condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine months ended September 27, 2009, reflects a reclassification of deferred revenue from other long-term liabilities to a separate line item. We have also set forth in Part II, Item 5, disclosure regarding impact of the restatement of the affected line items of the consolidated statement of cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, and of the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the three months ended March 28, 2010, and March 29, 2009. We do not consider any of these corrections to be material.

2. Fair Value Measurements (continued)
 
Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

All other nonfinancial assets and liabilities measured at fair values in the financial statements on a nonrecurring basis are subject to fair value measurements and disclosures. Nonfinancial nonrecurring assets and liabilities included in our condensed consolidated balance sheets include long lived assets that are measured at fair value to test for and measure impairment, at least annually or when necessary. During the nine months ended September 26, 2010, we recorded an impairment of approximately $3.0 million related to a real estate asset we hold. The fair value of this asset was measured using unobservable inputs (level 3) and a valuation technique that is consistent with the cost approach. This asset, with an adjusted carrying value of $3.2 million as of September 26, 2010, is classified within assets held for sale.

The estimated fair values of certain cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, and payroll and related expenses at September 26, 2010, and September 27, 2009, approximate their carrying values due to their short-term nature.

3. Derivative Instruments
 
Due to our global operations, we are exposed to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations in the normal course of our business. 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 primarily to hedge the impact of fluctuations of foreign exchange arising from intercompany inventory sales made to our subsidiaries that are denominated in Euros or British Pounds and customer receivables of our subsidiaries denominated in U.S. Dollars. Our foreign exchange forward contracts are not designated as hedging instruments for accounting purposes; accordingly, we record these contracts at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets, with changes in fair value recognized in earnings in the period of change. The aggregate notional amounts of the forward contracts we held for foreign currencies were $59.3 million as of September 26, 2010. Principal currencies we hedged include the Euro, British Pound, Mexican Peso, Singapore Dollar and Swedish Krona. These contracts do not contain any credit-risk-related contingent features.

We attempt to manage the counterparty risk associated with these foreign exchange forward 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 net loss (gain) resulting from these contracts recorded in selling, general and administrative expense was approximately $0.9 and $0.6 million for the three months ended September 26, 2010, and September 27, 2009, respectively, and $(0.1) and $0.4 million for the nine months ended September 26, 2010, and September 27, 2009, respectively. We recorded a net liability of $0.5 million in accounts payable and accrued expenses for each of the quarters ended September 26, 2010, and September 27, 2009.

Our allowance for sales returns includes estimated customer returns and other incentives that were recorded as a reduction of sales for September 26, 2010. For the period ended December 31, 2009, our allowance for sales returns included estimated customer returns, price exceptions, and other incentives that were part of sales. Beginning in 2010, we began to globally record price exceptions directly to the customers' account instead of an allowance to gross receivables. One customer, ScanSource, accounted for 10% and 18% of our accounts receivable as of September 26, 2010, and December 31, 2009, respectively.

6. Provision for Income Taxes
 
Our tax provision for the three months ended September 26, 2010, includes the combined impact of the following three principal items. With our 2010 pre-tax income estimated at a near breakeven level for the year, our tax provision is determined in dollar terms rather than in percentage terms.
Our Singapore subsidiary is an export-oriented company, which pursuant to an agreement with the Singapore government, is entitled to claim a tax holiday through the year 2019. Beginning in 2010, the majority of our operations in Singapore are entitled to a partial exemption from Singapore income tax. We expect the lower tax rate in Singapore will largely offset the tax charge in the fourth quarter of 2010 from transfer of our supply chain and foreign sales activities to Asia.
 
The U.S. Congress is currently considering bills that will extend the availability of the research and development tax credit. If the research and development credit is legislatively extended in and applicable to calendar year 2010, we expect there will be a favorable impact on our 2010 effective income tax rate of approximately $1.0 million in benefit. 
  
The tax expense (benefit) for the three and nine months ended September 27, 2009, reflected an effective tax rate for continuing operations of 35.4% and 36.4%, respectively, compared to a U.S. statutory rate of 35.0%. The effective tax rate reflected our then estimated annual effective tax rate of approximately 37.0% for fiscal year 2009, which excluded the impact of discrete items.

7. Shares Used in Computing (Loss) 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.

Our employees and directors held options to purchase 3,600,320 and 2,981,840 shares of our common stock for the three and nine months ended September 26, 2010, respectively, and 2,415,112 and 2,759,077 shares of our common stock for the three and nine months ended September 27, 2009, respectively, that were not included in weighted average shares diluted calculation because they were anti-dilutive to the diluted loss 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.

7. Shares Used in Computing (Loss) Earnings per Share (continued)

During the quarter ended September 26, 2010, we entered into share repurchase agreements with a broker under Rule 10b5-1 and Rule 10b-18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, to facilitate the repurchase of up to an aggregate total of $20 million of our outstanding common stock, pursuant to our previously announced share repurchase authorization by our Board of Directors. We repurchased 1,835,865 shares of our outstanding common stock at an average price of $10.89 per share pursuant to these share repurchase agreements.

10. Segment Reporting

 Our reportable segments are comprised of products and services. The product segment generates revenue from the 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 professional 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 consolidated financial statements. Performance and resource allocation are primarily measured by sales and standard gross profit. All other earnings, costs and expenses are aggregated and reported on a consolidated basis.
 
One distributor, ScanSource Inc., accounted for more than 10% of our revenues. Total sales to this distributor were $38.8 and $109.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 26, 2010, respectively, and $35.2 and $83.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 27, 2009, respectively.

 12. Commitments and Contingencies   
 
We have entered into a variety of agreements with third parties that include indemnification clauses, both in the ordinary course of business and in connection with our divestitures of certain product lines. These clauses require us to compensate these third parties for certain liabilities and damages that may be incurred by them. Fair value of guarantees is required to be recorded as a liability. We do not believe that we have any significant exposure related to such guarantees and therefore have not recorded a liability as of September 26, 2010, and December 31, 2009, respectively. We have not made any significant indemnification payments as a result of these clauses. 
 
We capitalize external legal costs incurred in the defense of our patents where we believe that there is an evident increase in the value of the patent and that the successful outcome of the legal action is probable. During the course of any legal action, the court where the case is pending makes decisions and issues rulings of various kinds, which may be favorable or unfavorable. We monitor developments in the legal action, the legal costs incurred and the anticipated outcome of the legal action, and assess the likelihood of a successful outcome based on the entire action. If changes in the anticipated outcome occur that reduce the likelihood of a successful outcome to less than probable, the capitalized costs would be charged to expense in the period in which the change is determined. As of September 26, 2010 and December, 31, 2009, $12.3 and $11.4 million of legal patent costs have been capitalized, respectively. The capitalized legal patent costs are recorded in other assets on our condensed consolidated balance sheets.
 
We currently, and from time to time, are subject to claims and lawsuits arising in the ordinary course of business. 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.

Benefits paid pertaining to our other postretirement benefit plans were not material during the three and nine month periods ended September 26, 2010.

We expect to contribute an additional $2.3 million to these plans during the remainder of 2010, of which $0.9 million relates to benefit payments to our funded and unfunded U.S. defined benefit plans, $0.7 million in matching contributions to our 401(k) plan, $0.6 million in contributions to our foreign pension plans and $0.1 million in benefit payments pertaining to our other postretirement benefit plans.
 
14. Restructuring Charges
 
The total pre-tax restructuring costs for the restructuring plan announced in January 2009 were approximately $9.5 million, including employee termination costs of approximately $8.4 million, and $1.1 million of other transitional costs. We recorded the entire restructuring charge in 2009, and substantially all of the severance-related and periodic transitional costs were cash expenditures.
 
The total restructuring costs for the restructuring plan announced in April 2009 were approximately $13.9 million, including employee termination costs of $12.0 million, and $1.9 million of other transitional costs. We recorded $11.1 million of the restructuring charges in 2009, and $1.8 and $2.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 26, 2010, respectively. As of September 26, 2010, all restructuring related charges have been recorded.
 
We made cash payments totaling $0.7 and $3.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 26, 2010, in connection with the restructuring plans announced in January and April 2009.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS AND RISK FACTORS; SAFE HARBOR 
 
Statements made in this filing and any related statements that express Intermec’s or our management’s intentions, hopes, indications, beliefs, expectations, guidance, estimates, forecasts or predictions of the future constitute forward-looking statements, as defined by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and relate to matters that are not historical facts. They include, without limitation, statements about our view of general economic and market conditions, our cost reduction plans, our revenue, expense, earnings or financial outlook for the current or any future period, our ability to develop, produce, market or sell our products, either directly or through third parties, to reduce or control expenses, to improve efficiency, to realign resources, or to continue operational improvement and year-over-year or sequential growth, and about the applicability of accounting policies used in our financial reporting. When used in this document and in documents it refers to, the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “will,” “intend,” “project” and “expect” and similar expressions as they relate to us or our management are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These statements represent beliefs and expectations only as of the date they were made. We may elect to update forward-looking statements but we expressly disclaim any obligation to do so, even if our beliefs and expectations change.
 
Actual results may differ from those expressed or implied in our forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements involve and are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, which may cause our actual results to differ materially from those discussed in a forward-looking statement. These include, but are not limited to, risks and uncertainties described more fully in our reports filed or to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission including, but not limited to, our 2009 Form 10-K and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, which are available on our website at www.intermec.com.
 
You are encouraged to review the Risk Factors portion of Item 1A of Part II of this filing, which discusses the risk factors associated with our business.
 
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, wired and wireless bar code printers and label media products, and radio frequency identification (“RFID”) 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.  
 
The key element of our strategy is to provide rugged mobile business solutions that help our customers improve their visibility and control of their businesses and, in the process, lower their costs, increase their revenues and improve customer satisfaction and loyalty.  These business solutions are a collaborative effort between Intermec and our channel partners.  In the pursuit of this strategy, we target high growth opportunities in selected application markets; focus on developing and selling differentiated new products and services; emphasize sales through multi-tiered channel arrangements; and continue the evolution of our supply chain and other initiatives to enhance the efficiency of our global operations.

Our reportable segments are comprised of products and services. The product segment generates revenue from the design, development, manufacture, sale and resale of mobile computing products, bar code scanners, wired and wireless bar code printers and label media products, and RFID products and license fees. We sell products worldwide for field mobility applications, including asset management, direct store delivery, maintenance and repair, in-transit visibility, and routing and navigation, as well as in-premise applications, including asset management, freight yard operations, inventory management, warehouse operations, and work-in-process management. Our service segment generates revenue from customer support, product maintenance and professional services related to the products and to systems integration.
 
The unfavorable global economy continued to constrain our business and revenue. Although there are mixed signs that a gradual recovery has begun in some sectors of the economy, it continues to vary by geographic region. We believe that capital spending for both commercial and public sector customers will continue to be constrained or slow, particularly for large projects, as contrasted to incremental purchases or small deployments. We expect civilian and U.S. government budgets to continue to be affected by the pace and priority of appropriations competition and military spending.

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

Our financial reporting currency is the U.S. dollar, and changes in exchange rates can significantly affect our financial trends and reported results.  Our consolidated revenues and operating expenses are vulnerable to the fluctuations of foreign exchange rates; however, our cost of revenues is primarily denominated in U.S. dollars, and therefore, is less affected by changes in foreign exchange rates. 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 growth rates before and after the effect of foreign currency changes.

The increase in quarterly revenue of $9.9 million, or 6.2%, was attributable to a $8.8 million increase in product revenue and a $1.1 million increase in service revenue. The increase in product revenue of $8.8 million, or 7.0%, was due to a $5.1 million increase in systems and solutions products and a $3.7 million increase in printer and media products. The increase in our systems and solutions products revenue was primarily due to increased product volumes, and the increase in sales revenue in printer and media products was primarily driven by an increase in our sales to distribution channel partners.

The increase in service revenues for the three months ended September 26, 2010, of $1.1 million, or 3.6%, was primarily due to the an increase in systems and solutions products volumes.
 
Geographically, revenues in North America decreased by $4.9 million, or 5.5%, while revenues in EMEA and the rest of the world increased by $4.9 million, or 10.7%, and $9.9 million, or 41.4%, respectively, over the corresponding prior-year period. The reduction in North America revenues was attributable to the decline in U.S. federal government business, which was partially offset by an increase in sales revenues to non-government customers. The increase in Latin America revenues, which accounted for approximately 86% of total revenue increase in rest of the world, was primarily related to growth in our overall business. The increase in EMEA revenues was mainly attributable to overall business growth, partially offset by the changes in foreign currency conversion rates that unfavorably impacted EMEA revenue by $4.6 million, or 10.0 percentage points, as compared to the foreign currency exchange rates used in the prior-year period. Across all regions the unfavorable impact of foreign currency rates as compared to the foreign currency exchange rates used in the prior-year period was $3.7 million, or 5.8 percentage points.

Revenue for the nine months ended September 26, 2010, remained flat due to a $1.2 million increase in product revenues, offset by a $1.2 million decrease in service revenues. The increase in product revenues was due to a $10.1 million increase in printer and media products, partially offset by a $8.9 million decrease in systems and solutions products. The increase in sales revenues in printer and media products was primarily driven by an increase in our sales to distribution channel partners. The decline in our systems and solution products revenue was mainly due to the decline in U.S. federal government business.

Geographically, revenues in North America decreased $37.6 million, or 13.4%, while revenues in EMEA and the rest of the world increased by $18.0 million, or 13.5%, and $19.6 million, or 30.2%, respectively over the corresponding prior-year period. The reduction in North America revenues was primarily due to the decline in U.S. federal government business. The increase in Latin America revenues, which accounted for approximately 57% of total revenue increase in rest of the world, was primarily related to growth in our overall business. The increase in EMEA revenues was mainly attributable to overall business growth, partially offset by the changes in foreign currency conversion rates that unfavorably impacted EMEA revenue by $4.9 million, or 8.9 percentage points, as compared to the prior-year period. Across all regions, the favorable impact of foreign currency rates on total revenue was $0.5 million, or 0.2 percentage points, as compared to the prior-year period.

The total gross profit for the three and nine months ended September 26, 2010, increased by $4.3 million and $4.5 million, respectively, compared to the corresponding prior-year periods. The increase in total gross profit was primarily due to a $4.6 million, or 9.9%, and $6.5 million, or 4.8%, increase in the gross profit for the product segment for the three and nine months ended September 26, 2010, respectively, compared to the corresponding prior-year periods. The increase in product gross profit was primarily due to increased volume of product sales for the three months ended September 26, 2010, and more favorable product and geographic related mix for the nine months ended September 26, 2010.
 
The decrease in service gross profit and gross margin from the corresponding prior year periods was mainly attributable to the decline in U.S. federal government business.

The increase for the three and nine months ended September 26, 2010, was due to increased R&D investment for new product development and release.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses Total selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses were $47.7 and $138.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 26, 2010, respectively, compared to SG&A expenses of $44.5 million and $140.2 million for the corresponding prior-year periods. The increase in SG&A expenses for the three months ended September 26, 2010, of $3.2 million, compared to the the corresponding prior-year period, was primarily attributable to higher investment in our sales organization. The decrease in SG&A expenses for the nine months ended September 26, 2010, of $1.7 million, compared to the nine months ended September 27, 2009, was primarily attributable to the labor-related savings from our two restructuring activities announced in 2009, reduction in pension-related costs from the freezing of our pension plans in December 2009 and other ongoing cost reduction programs.

Gain on intellectual property sales The gain on intellectual property sales of $2.9 million, net of commissions, for the three and nine months ended September 26, 2010, reflected sales of some of our patents to an unrelated party.

Restructuring Charges The decrease in restructuring charges of $0.9 million and $15.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 26, 2010, respectively, compared to the corresponding prior-year periods was mainly due to completion of the two restructuring programs announced in 2009 to reduce our operating costs and improve efficiency in light of the economic downturn. Details of these two programs are as follows:
  
The total pre-tax restructuring costs for the restructuring plan announced in January 2009 were approximately $9.5 million, including employee termination costs of approximately $8.4 million, and $1.1 million of other transitional costs. We recorded the entire restructuring charge in 2009, and substantially all of the severance-related and periodic transitional costs were cash expenditures. We expect to achieve an annual labor-related savings of $14.0 to $16.0 million in connection with this restructuring plan.
 
The total restructuring costs for the restructuring plan announced in April 2009 were approximately $13.9 million, including employee termination costs of $11.9 million, and $2.0 million of other transitional costs. We recorded $11.1 million of the restructuring charges in 2009, and $2.8 million for the nine months ended September 26, 2010. All restructuring related charges have been recorded as of September 26, 2010, and substantially all of the severance-related and periodic transitional costs were cash expenditures. We expect to achieve annualized labor-related savings of $17.0 to $19.0 million in connection with this restructuring plan.

Impairment of facility The impairment charge of $3.0 million for the nine months ended September 26, 2010, reflected our write-down of a real estate asset we held for sale at September 26, 2010.

Interest, Net Net interest expense was $0.1 and $0.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 26, 2010, respectively, compared to net interest income of $0.1 and $0.2 million for the corresponding prior-year periods. The decrease in net interest income was mainly due to lower average interest rates compared to prior-year periods.

Our tax provision for the three months ended September 26, 2010, includes the combined impact of the following three principal items. With our 2010 pre-tax income estimated at a near breakeven level for the year, our tax provision is determined in dollar terms rather than in percentage terms.
  • We reversed tax benefits recorded in first and second quarters of 2010 that were based on our then-current estimates of fiscal-year 2010 revenue and earnings. Combined with the provision for tax on earnings for the third quarter, this year-to-date adjustment is a non-cash expense of approximately $6.2 million.
  • We recorded a non-cash charge of approximately $2.0 million to establish a Singapore headquarters for our supply chain operations and foreign sales activities. This item is a recurring item each quarter, regardless of the amount of income from operations, and is approximately $4.0 million tax expense annually. 
  • Foreign sales office profits are taxed in foreign countries, resulting in a cash tax expense of approximately $1.0 million for the quarter.
Our Singapore subsidiary is an export-oriented company, which pursuant to an agreement with the Singapore government, is entitled to claim a tax holiday through the year 2019. Beginning in 2010, the majority of our operations in Singapore are entitled to a partial exemption from Singapore income tax. We expect the lower tax rate in Singapore will largely offset the tax charge in the fourth quarter of 2010 from transfer of our supply chain and foreign sales activities to Asia.
 
The U.S. Congress is currently considering bills that will extend the availability of the research and development tax credit. If the research and development credit is legislatively extended in and applicable to calendar year 2010, we expect there will be a favorable impact on our 2010 effective income tax rate of approximately $1.0 million in benefit. 
  
The tax expense (benefit) for the three and nine months ended September 27, 2009, reflected an effective tax rate for continuing operations of 35.4% and 36.4%, respectively, compared to a U.S. statutory rate of 35.0%. The effective tax rate reflected our then estimated annual effective tax rate of approximately 37.0% for fiscal year 2009, which excluded the impact of discrete items.

 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 our cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, as well as the cash flow that we generate from our operations. In addition, we have an unsecured Revolving Credit Facility as described in the Capital Resources section below.

Cash Flow Summary

The following discussion reflects the effects of the immaterial restatement presented in Item 1, Note 1 - Immaterial Restatement of the Statement of Cash Flows, to the condensed consolidated financial statements. Our cash flows are summarized in the following table (in thousands):

(45,104
)
Net cash (used in) provided by financing activities
      (18,555    
1,682
 
 
At September 26, 2010, cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments totaled $211.2 million, a decrease of $27.0 million compared to the December 31, 2009 balance of $238.2 million. Our short-term investments consist primarily of low risk securities, including short-term bond funds and time deposits. We invest in these short-term securities mainly to facilitate liquidity and for capital preservation. Due to the nature of these instruments, we consider it reasonable to expect that their fair market values will not be significantly impacted by a change in interest rates, and that they can be liquidated for cash upon demand.

Cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 26, 2010, was $5.0 million and consisted of net loss of $13.2 million, adjustments for non-cash items of $18.6 million and cash used by working capital and other activities of $0.4 million. Cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 26, 2010, was primarily due to inventory reduction.
 
For the nine months ended September 26, 2010, investing activities used $11.9 million of cash primarily due to capital expenditures of $9.9 million. Cash used in investing activities for nine months ended September 27, 2009, was $45.1 million. This was primarily related to our purchase of short-term investments of $35.6 million and capital expenditures of $7.6 million.

Financing activities for the nine months ended September 26, 2010, used cash of $18.6 million primarily related to the repurchase of our common stock of $20.0 million.

Capital Resources

Our principal capital resources include cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments. In addition, we have an unsecured Revolving Credit Facility (the “Revolving Facility”) with a maximum amount available under the Revolving Facility of $50.0 million. Net of outstanding letters of credit and limitations on availability, we had borrowing capacity at September 26, 2010, of $48.5 million under the Revolving Facility. We had no borrowings under the Revolving Facility during the three and nine months ended September 26, 2010. As of September 26, 2010, we were in compliance with the financial covenants of the Revolving Facility. The Revolving Facility matures in October 2012. There have been no changes to key terms of the Revolving Facility as previously disclosed in the 2009 Form 10-K.

We believe that cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments combined with projected cash flows from operations will provide adequate funding to meet our expected working capital, restructuring cost, capital expenditure and pension contribution requirements for the next twelve months. From time to time, we may look for potential acquisition targets for growth opportunities within our market or to expand into new markets.

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

Capital Resources (continued)
 
During the quarter ended September 26, 2010, we entered into share repurchase agreements with a broker under Rule 10b5-1 and Rule 10b-18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, to facilitate the repurchase of up to an aggregate total of $20 million of our outstanding common stock, pursuant to our previously announced share repurchase authorization by our Board of Directors. We repurchased 1,835,865 shares of our outstanding common stock at an average price of $10.89 per share as part of these share repurchase agreements.
 
We may continue to engage in future share repurchases up to our remaining board authorization of $55 million. The number of shares and the timing of any share repurchases will depend on factors such as the stock price, economic and market conditions, regulatory restrictions, and the attractiveness of other capital deployment opportunities.   

Depending on our assessment of the economic environment from time-to-time, we may decide to hold more cash than may be required to fund our future investment in working capital, capital expenditures and research and development and to implement changes in our cost structure. 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.

Contractual Obligations

Our contractual commitments as of September 26, 2010, have not changed materially from those disclosed in Item 7 of our 2009 Form 10-K.
 
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
 
Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. 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 2009 Form 10-K. 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
 
As of September 26, 2010, there have been no material changes in the information provided in Item 7A of our 2009 Form 10-K, which contains a complete discussion of our material exposures to foreign currency exchange rate risk.
 
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer, or CEO, and Chief Financial Officer, or CFO, we have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as required by Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. Based on that evaluation, management, including the CEO and CFO, has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) were effective as of September 26, 2010. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 26, 2010, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
 
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
 
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 2009 Form 10-K and the factors discussed in Part II, Item A, "Risk Factors" in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 28, 2010 (the "First Quarter Form 10-Q"), which could materially affect our business, financial condition or operating results. The risks described in our 2009 Form 10-K and in the First Quarter Form 10-Q 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.

An authorization from our Board of Directors allows us to repurchase up to $75 million in shares of our common stock.  During the quarter ended September 26, 2010, we entered into share repurchase agreements with a broker under Rule 10b5-1 and Rule 10b-18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, to facilitate the repurchase of up to an aggregate total of $20 million of our outstanding common stock, pursuant to our previously announced share repurchase authorization by our Board of Directors. We repurchased 1,835,865 shares of our outstanding common stock at an average price of $10.89 per share as part of these share repurchase agreements.

ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION

As described more fully in Note 1 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, we have identified certain immaterial misstatements of the balances of individual line items within our consolidated statements of cash flows for certain annual periods and our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for certain quarterly periods.  When these line items from the affected prior periods are required to be disclosed in future periodic reports, we will present the individual balances both as originally reported and as restated, as explained below.  In addition, we have presented below the restated information for the three months ended March 29, 2009, for the reader’s ease of reference.

The restatements impacted only line items within the statements of cash flows indicated in Note 1 and in this Item 5, and do not result in any change in the beginning and ending balances of cash and cash equivalents from the amounts previously reported.  The restated line items do not have any impact on the balance sheets or statements of operations for any period. We do not consider any of these corrections to be material.
