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 condensed consolidated 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, as amended, for the year-ended December 31, 2007 (the “Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007”).
 
Reclassification and Correction of Error
 
Prior to the fourth quarter of 2007, we provided the effect of exchange rates on cash and cash equivalents as supplemental information within the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. We have determined that the effect of exchange rates on cash and cash equivalents should have been recorded as a reconciling item between beginning and ending cash and cash equivalents and accordingly have reclassified $3.8 million from “net cash provided by operating activities” within the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows to “effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents” for the six months ended July 1, 2007 to correct the error. Also, expenses incurred for research and development have been reclassified from selling, general and administrative expenses for the three and six months ended July 1, 2007 for comparability. Additionally, in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the six months ended July 1, 2007 we have reclassified $1.4 million of collection on notes receivable from investing activities of operations to investing activities of discontinued operations, and $1.3 million from Provision on bad debt to Other operating activities.

Accounting Changes

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 SFAS 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”. The FSP is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. We are in the process of evaluating the impact FSP 142-3 will have on our consolidated financial statements.

In March 2008, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133, 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 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. SFAS No. 161 is effective for us beginning January 1, 2009. We are currently assessing the potential impact that adoption of SFAS No. 161 may have on our financial statements.

In February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115. SFAS No. 159 permits entities to measure eligible financial assets, financial liabilities and firm commitments at fair value, on an instrument-by-instrument basis, that are otherwise not permitted to be accounted for at fair value under other generally accepted accounting principles. The fair value measurement election is irrevocable and subsequent changes in fair value must be recorded in earnings. We adopted SFAS No. 159 effective January 1, 2008 and elected to not adopt the fair value option for any financial assets or liabilities. The adoption did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

1. Basis of Presentation (continued)

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. This statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This statement applies to all financial instruments that are being measured and reported on a fair value basis. As defined in this statement, fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. We adopted SFAS No. 157 effective January 1, 2008. The adoption of SFAS No. 157 did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements. While SFAS 157 is effective in the first fiscal quarter of 2008, the FASB provided a one year deferral for the implementation with respect to other nonfinancial assets and liabilities, except for items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). We have deferred implementation of SFAS No. 157 for our nonfinancial assets and liabilities.

SFAS No. 157 requires financial assets and liabilities to be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:

§  
Level 1: Inputs based on quoted market prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
§  
Level 2: Observable market based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.
§  
Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data.

Our level 1 financial instrument values are based on quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets, which we use to value our certificates of deposit, money market funds and equity securities. Our level 2 financial instrument values are based on comparable sales, such as quoted market rates for similar contracts. We do not have any financial instruments that require valuation using level 3 inputs.
 
Our financial assets and liabilities subject to these fair value measurement provisions comprised the following (thousands of dollars):

1. Basis of Presentation (continued)
 
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, Employer’s Accounting for Defined Pension and Other Postretirement Plans—an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106 and 132(R). SFAS No. 158 has new provisions regarding the measurement date as well as certain disclosure requirements. Effective December 31, 2008, SFAS No. 158 will require us to measure plan assets and benefit obligations at fiscal year end. We currently perform this measurement at September 30 of each year. In addition, beginning in fourth quarter of 2007, SFAS No. 158 required that we eliminate the use of a three-month lag period when recognizing the impact of curtailments or settlements and instead, recognize these amounts in the period in which they occur. The provisions of SFAS No. 158 do not permit retrospective application. We expect to incur between $0.5 million and $1.0 million as an adjustment to retained earnings upon adoption of the remainder of this statement.

In September 2006, the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) issued EITF 06-4, Accounting for Deferred Compensation and Postretirement Benefit Aspects of Endorsement Split-Dollar Life Insurance Arrangements (“EITF 06-04”), which we adopted on January 1, 2008. The Task Force concluded that an employer should recognize a liability for future benefits in accordance with SFAS No. 106, “Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions” or Accounting Principles Board Opinion 12 (“Opinion 12”), “Classification and Disclosure of Allowances Disclosure of Depreciable Assets and Depreciation Deferred Compensation Contracts Capital Changes Convertible Debt and Debt Issued with Stock Warrants Amortization of Debt Discount and Expense or Premium” based on the substantive agreement with the employee. Upon adoption of EITF 06-4, as of January 1, 2008, we increased accumulated deficit $0.9 million, recognized a $1.4 million long-term liability, and recorded a tax effect of $0.5 million within long-term deferred tax assets.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141R, Business Combinations,  which will be effective on a prospective basis for all business combinations with an acquisition date on or after January 1, 2009with the exception of the accounting for valuation allowances on deferred taxes and acquired tax contingencies. This statement generally requires an acquirer to recognize the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, contingent purchase consideration, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree, at fair value on the date of acquisition. SFAS No. 141R also requires an acquirer to expense most transaction and restructuring costs as incurred, and not include such items in the cost of the acquired entity. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of SFAS No. 141R on our consolidated financial statements.

3. Debt
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 June 29, 2008, of $46.9 million under the Revolving Facility. We made no borrowings under the Revolving Facility during 2008, and as of June 29, 2008, no borrowings were outstanding under this facility. As of June 29, 2008, we were in compliance with all financial covenants of the Revolving Facility. The Revolving Facility matures in October 2012.

We also have letter-of-credit reimbursement agreements totaling $3.9 million at June 29, 2008, and December 31, 2007.

During March 2008, we paid off our $100.0 million senior unsecured debt.
 
 
4. Provision for Income Taxes
The tax expense for the three and six months ended June 29, 2008, reflects an effective tax rate for continuing operations of 35.5 % and 35.9 %, respectively, compared to a U.S. statutory rate of 35%. Our expected effective tax rate for fiscal year 2008, including the impact of discrete items, is approximately 37%.

The tax expense for the three and six months ended July 1, 2007, reflects an effective tax rate for continuing operations of 36.7% and 54.9%, respectively, compared to a U.S. statutory rate of 35%. In the first quarter of 2007, the tax provision was increased primarily due to a reduction of foreign deferred tax assets as a result of recording a valuation allowance on a foreign net operating loss and the impact of changes in foreign tax rates. 
 

5. Discontinued Operations
We completed our divestiture of the IAS businesses with the sale of the Cincinnati Lamb business in the first quarter of 2005 and the sale of the Landis Grinding Systems business in the fourth quarter of 2005. There was a net loss of $1.3 million from discontinued operations for the three and six months ended July 1, 2007. Final operations ceased on April 3, 2005 for our Cincinnati Lamb business and December 9, 2005 for our Landis Grinding Systems business.

Basic earnings (loss) per share are calculated using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and issuable for the applicable period. Diluted earnings (loss) 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 1,393,889 and 1,458,477 shares of our common stock for the three and six months ended June 29, 2008, respectively, and 717,061 and 721,681 shares for the three and six months ended July 1, 2007, respectively, that were not included in weighted average shares diluted because they were anti-dilutive to the diluted earnings per share computation. These options could 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.

8. Segment Reporting
We design, develop, manufacture, integrate, sell, resell and service wired and wireless automated identification and data collection (“AIDC”) products, which include radio frequency identification (“RFID”) products, wired and wireless AIDC products, mobile computing products, barcode scanners, wired and wireless bar code printers and label media products. Our revenue also comes from license fees and royalty revenue from  our intellectual property licenses. Our reportable segments comprise products and services. The product segment generates revenue from the design, development, manufacture, sale and resale of AIDC products, including RFID products and intellectual property licenses. The service segment generates revenue from customer support, product maintenance and other services related to the products and to 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 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 accounted for more than 10% of our revenues. Total sales to this distributor were $24.3 million and $49.1 million for the three and six months ended June 29, 2008, and $22.7 million and $41.0 million three and six months ended July 1, 2007, respectively.

9. Commitments and Contingencies
Provisions for estimated expenses related to product warranties are made at the time products are sold. These estimates are established using historical information on the nature, frequency, and average cost of warranty claims. We actively study trends of warranty claims and take action to improve product quality and minimize warranty claims. The following table indicates the change in our warranty accrual included in current liabilities (thousands of dollars):

   
Period Ended
 
   
June 29, 2008

Beginning Balance
  $ 4,305     $ 6,800

Increase in liability (new warranties issued)
    1,382       1,557  
Ending Balance
  $ 4,482     $ 6,359  

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 incurred by them.

FASB Interpretation No. 45, “Guarantors’ Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others,” requires that we estimate and record the fair value of guarantees 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 June 29, 2008, or December 31, 2007. We have not made any significant indemnification payments as a result of these clauses.
 
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.

In June 2008, our Cedar Rapids, Iowa facilities were flooded, and we incurred damages to both a facility that we own and one that we lease. A portion of these damages were covered by insurance to the extent reasonable. While the flood caused significant damage, we were able to redirect the work done by our Cedar Rapids groups to temporary locations, and therefore the flood did not cause a significant interruption on our business. During the three and six months ended June 29, 2008, we had $5.1 million in clean up costs and property damages that were offset by $4.0 million of insurance for a net pre-tax charge of $1.1 million.
 

10. 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 will relocate the final assembly of our product lines from Everett, Washington, to Venture Corporation Limited, a global electronics services provider.  We also will consolidate two U.S. service depots to existing locations in Charlotte, North Carolina, and Monterey, Mexico and transfer our on-site field service repair to a third party supplier.
 
This plan will be implemented over the next 9 to 12 months and will reduce our workforce by approximately 260 employees.  We currently employ approximately 2,300 employees worldwide.
 
The total restructuring costs are expected to be in a pre-tax range of $7.5 million to $9.0 million, including employee termination costs of approximately $3.5 million, $0.5 million of non-cash asset impairment and $3.5 million to $5.0 million of other transitional costs. We expect to record approximately $6.0 million to $7.0 million of this restructuring charge in the second half of 2008, and expect that the balance will be recorded in 2009. We anticipate that all of the severance related and periodic transitional costs will be cash expenditures.

During the quarter ended June 29, 2008, we contributed approximately $2.7 million to our pension and other postretirement benefit plans, comprising $1.4 million in benefits paid pertaining to unfunded U.S. defined benefit plans, $0.7 million in matching contributions to our 401(k) plan, and $0.6 million in contributions to our foreign pension plans.

During the six months ended June 29, 2008, we contributed approximately $5.6 million to our pension and other postretirement benefit plans, comprising $2.8 million in benefits paid pertaining to unfunded U.S. defined benefit plans, $1.6 million in matching contributions to our 401(k) plan, and $1.2 million in contributions to our foreign pension plans. Benefits paid pertaining to our other postretirement benefit plans were not material during the three and six month periods ended June 29, 2008. We expect to contribute approximately $6.2 million to these plans during the remainder of 2008, of which $3.6 million relates to benefit payments on our unfunded U.S. defined benefit plans, $1.4 million in matching contributions to our 401(k) plan, $1.2 million in contributions to our foreign pension plans and $0.2 million in benefit payments pertaining to our other postretirement benefit plans.

In September 2006, the EITF issued EITF 06-4, “Accounting for Deferred Compensation and Postretirement Benefit Aspects of Endorsement Split-Dollar Life Insurance Arrangements,” which we adopted on January 1, 2008. The Task Force concluded that an employer should recognize a liability for future benefits in accordance with SFAS No. 106, “Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions” or Opinion 12, “Classification and Disclosure of Allowances Disclosure of Depreciable Assets and Depreciation Deferred Compensation Contracts Capital Changes Convertible Debt and Debt Issued with Stock Warrants Amortization of Debt Discount and Expense or Premium” based on the substantive agreement with the employee.
 
We have endorsement split-dollar life insurance policy agreements, which we own and control, with a group of employees. Each of these agreements was entered into as a separate agreement between us and the employee, and we endorsed a portion of the death benefits to the employee’s beneficiary. Under the guidance of EITF 06-4 these agreements represent a post retirement plan, and we have accrued a liability for the present value of the future death benefit in accordance with SFAS No. 106, for our endorsement split-dollar life insurance policies.

All others
    29.6       13.6 %     34.0       16.1 %     (4.4 )     (12.8 %)
Total revenues
  $ 218.3       100.0 %   $ 210.5       100.0 %   $ 7.8       3.7 %
                                                 

Total revenue increased $7.8 million for the three months ended June 29, 2008 compared to the prior year period, from the $10.5 million increase in product revenue, offset by a $2.8 million decrease in service revenue. The increase in product revenue was attributable to a $11.6 million increase in systems and solution products, primarily as a result of revenue growth in North America.  The $1.1 million decline in printer and media product revenue is due to lower revenue in Latin America, partially offset by revenue growth in EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa). Sequentially, product and service revenue were both up slightly from the first quarter of 2008.

The decrease in quarterly service revenues of $2.8 million, or 6.8%, is primarily attributable to a decrease in North America as a result of lower custom software and below normal break fix time and material revenues.

Geographically, revenues in North America and EMEA increased $4.6 million, or 4.3%, and $7.5 million, or 10.9%, respectively, over the corresponding prior-year period. The increases were primarily attributable to increased hardware demand in both regions, with new product introductions driving a majority of the growth. The changes in foreign currency conversion rates favorably impacted EMEA revenue by $8.3 million as compared to prior year period.

In the three months ended June 29, 2008 we observed longer purchase decision making time frames among large enterprise customers. Thus far, this appears to have resulted in a delay, rather than a cancellation, of customer projects. We believe that customers in our target markets will continue to invest in projects intended to enhance mobile worker productivity but they may subject these projects to closer scrutiny and longer decision-making processes, in response to uncertainty in the general economic outlook.

Total revenues
  $ 435.0       100.0 %   $ 389.8       100.0 %   $ 45.2       11.6 %

Total revenue for the six months ended June 29, 2008, increased $45.2 million or 11.6%, primarily due to a $48.6 million, or 15.6%, increase in product revenues, partially offset by $3.4 million, or 4.3%, decrease in service revenues.  The increase in product revenues was due to the $44.1 million increase in systems and solution products and a $4.5 million increase in printer and media products.  The product revenue growth is primarily a result of the 20.8% growth in North America and 18.8% growth in EMEA. Product revenue for the rest of the world decreased 7.8%, primarily as a result of lower printer revenue in Latin America.

The decrease in six month service revenues of $ 3.4 million, or 4.3 %, was primarily attributable to the slightly lower contract revenue in the first quarter ended April 1, 2008, combined with lower year-to-date custom software and break fix time and material revenues.

Geographically, revenues in North America and EMEA increased $27.6 million, or 13.9%, and $22.5 million, or 17.1%, respectively, over the corresponding prior-year period. The increases were primarily attributable to increased hardware demand in both regions, with new product introductions driving a majority of the growth. The changes in foreign currency conversion rates favorably impacted EMEA revenue by $15.3 million as compared to prior year period.

The total gross profit for the three and six months ended June 29, 2008, increased by $7.7 million and $ 30.6 million, respectively, compared to the corresponding prior year periods. The increases are attributable to product revenue growth in the North America and EMEA regions, as well as at least 400 basis point improvements in product gross margins in the respective periods. The increase in product gross margins is primarily due to new product introductions, favorable manufacturing absorption on higher volumes and product cost reductions.

Service gross profit decreased $3.4 million and $3.0 million for the three and six months ended June 29, 2008, respectively, primarily from lower revenue.

The total selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses were $59.5 million and $118.2 million for the three and six months ended June 29, 2008, respectively, compared with SG&A expenses of $52.3 million and $105.4 million for the corresponding prior-year period. The increase in SG&A expense in the second quarter of 2008 is primarily a result of foreign exchange translation losses and the related impact of international costs translated to US dollars at less favorable exchange rates, higher costs related to information systems as a result of our ERP upgrade, higher selling and marketing costs, and higher labor costs. The higher SG&A expense was partially offset by a $2.9 million gain from the sale of property. The second quarter of 2007 SG&A expense included approximately $2.0 million of other operating gains.

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

 
Flood related charges

In June 2008, our Cedar Rapids, Iowa facilities were flooded, and we incurred damages to both a facility that we own and one that we lease. A portion of these damages were covered by insurance to the extent reasonable. While the flood caused significant damage, we were able to redirect the work done by our Cedar Rapids groups to temporary locations, and therefore the flood did not cause a significant interruption on our business. During the three and six months ended June 29, 2008, we had $5.1 million in clean up costs and property damages that were offset by $4.0 million of insurance for a net pre-tax charge of $1.1 million.

Restructuring Announcement

As described in Item 1 of Part 1, “Financial Statements – Note 10 – “Restructuring Charges,” (“Note 10”) in July, 2008 we announced a restructuring plan relating to the relocation of product final assembly, consolidation of U.S. service depots and transfer of on-site field service repair to a third party supplier. This restructuring plan reflects our strategy to transform our supply chain. Please refer to Note 10 for additional information about the estimated restructuring charges and when they are expected to be recorded.

The tax expense for the three and six months ended June 29, 2008, reflects an effective tax rate for continuing operations of 35.5 % and 35.9 %, respectively, compared to a U.S. statutory rate of 35%. Our expected effective tax rate for fiscal year 2008, including the impact of discrete items, is approximately 37%.

The tax expense for the three and six months ended July 1, 2007, reflects an effective tax rate for continuing operations of 36.7% and 54.9%, respectively, compared to a U.S. statutory rate of 35%. In the first quarter of 2007, the tax provision was increased primarily due to a reduction of foreign deferred tax assets as a result of recording a valuation allowance on a foreign net operating loss and the impact of changes in foreign tax rates.

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

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments as of June 29, 2008, totaled $199.3 million, compared to $265.5 million as of December 31, 2007. Operating activities for the six months ended June 29, 2008 provided $22.4 million of cash flow, primarily resulting from customer receipts of $535.3 million, partially offset by inventory purchases of $409.4 million and employee payments of $103.9 million. Investing activities for the six months ended June 29, 2008, provided $26.7 million related primarily to the sale of investments totaling $28.5 million. Financing activities for the six months ended June 29, 2008, used $93.5 million, primarily for the repayment of $100 million of debt in March, 2008.

Net of outstanding letters of credit and limitations on minimum availability, we had borrowing capacity at June 29, 2008, of $46.9 million under the Revolving Facility. We made no borrowings under the Revolving Facility during the second quarter of 2008, and as of June 29, 2008, no borrowings were outstanding under the Revolving Facility. As of June 29, 2008, we were in compliance with the financial covenants of the Revolving Facility.

The key terms of the Revolving Facility are as follows:

·  
Loans will bear interest at a variable rate equal to (at our option) (i) LIBOR plus the applicable margin, which ranges from 0.60% to 1.00%, or (ii) the Bank’s prime rate, less the applicable margin, which ranges from 0.25% to 1.00%.  If an event of default occurs and is continuing, then the interest rate on all obligations under the Revolving Facility may be increased by 2.0% above the otherwise applicable rate, and the Bank may declare any outstanding obligations under the Revolving Facility to be immediately due and payable.
 
·  
A fee ranging from 0.60% to 1.00% on the maximum amount available to be drawn under each letter of credit that is issued and outstanding under the Revolving Facility will be required.  The fee on the unused portion of the Revolving Facility ranges from 0.125% to 0.20%.
 
·  
Certain of our domestic subsidiaries have guaranteed the Revolving Facility.
 
·  
The Revolving Facility contains various restrictions and covenants, including restrictions on our ability and the ability of our subsidiaries to consolidate or merge, make acquisitions, create liens, incur additional indebtedness or dispose of assets.
 
·  
Financial covenants include a Maximum Leverage test and a Minimum Tangible Net Worth test, each as defined in the Revolving Facility.
 
Management believes that cash and cash equivalents on hand, combined with projected cash flow from operations and available borrowings under our Revolving Facility will be sufficient to fund our operations, research and development efforts, anticipated capital expenditures, liabilities, commitments, and other capital requirements, for at least the next twelve months.

Contractual Obligations

Our contractual commitments as of June 29, 2008, have not changed materially from those disclosed in Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007.
 
 
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are exposed to foreign exchange rate risk with respect to our foreign operations and from foreign currency transactions.

Due to our global operations, our cash flows and earnings are exposed to foreign exchange rate fluctuations. When appropriate, we may attempt to limit our exposure to changing foreign exchange rates by entering into short-term foreign currency exchange contracts. As of June 29, 2008, we held short-term contracts for the purpose of hedging foreign currency cash flows with an aggregate notional amount of $39.2 million.

Except as noted in the preceding paragraph, as of June 29, 2008, 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, 2007, 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, is 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 June 29, 2008.

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 counterclaims 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.”
