NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – UNAUDITED
 
 
NOTE 1. OVERVIEW AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Trimble Navigation Limited (the Company), incorporated in California in 1981, provides positioning solutions to commercial and government users in a large number of markets.  These markets include surveying, agriculture, construction, asset management, mapping and mobile resource management.

The Company has a 52-53 week fiscal year, ending on the Friday nearest to December 31, which for fiscal 2007 was December 28. The second quarters of fiscal 2008 and fiscal 2007 ended on June 27, 2008 and June 29, 2007, respectively.  Fiscal 2008 is a 53-week year and fiscal 2007 is a 52-week year.  Unless otherwise stated, all dates refer to the Company’s fiscal year and fiscal periods.

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the results of the Company and its subsidiaries.  Inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated.  The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet is derived from the December 28, 2007 audited Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K of Trimble Navigation Limited for fiscal year 2007. Certain amounts from prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
 
The accompanying financial data as of June 27, 2008 and for the three and six months ended June 27, 2008 and June 29, 2007 has been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations.  The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Company’s 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present a fair statement of financial position as of June 27, 2008, results of operations for the three and six months ended June 27, 2008 and June 29, 2007 and cash flows for the six months ended June 27, 2008 and June 29, 2007, as applicable, have been made.  The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 27, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full fiscal year or any future periods.  Individual segment revenue may be affected by seasonal buying patterns.

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes.  Management bases its estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions believed to be reasonable. Although these estimates are based on management’s best knowledge of current events and actions that may impact the company in the future, actual results may be different from the estimates.

On January 17, 2007, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a 2-for-1 split of all outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock, payable February 22, 2007 to stockholders of record on February 8, 2007.  All shares and per share information presented have been adjusted to reflect the stock split on a retroactive basis for all periods presented.
 
 
NOTE 2. UPDATES TO SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

There have been no changes to the Company’s significant accounting polices during the six months ended June 27, 2008 from those disclosed in the Company’s 2007 Form 10-K. 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Updates to recent accounting standards as disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2007 are as follows:

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements,” which clarifies the definition of fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value within GAAP and expands the disclosures regarding fair value measurements.  In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 157-2 deferring the effective date of SFAS No. 157 to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a nonrecurring basis.  SFAS No. 157 became effective for the Company beginning in its first quarter of fiscal 2008.  The adoption of SFAS No. 157 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115.”  SFAS No. 159 allows an entity the irrevocable option to elect fair value for the initial and subsequent measurement for certain financial assets and liabilities under an instrument-by-instrument election. Subsequent measurements for the financial assets and liabilities an entity elects to fair value will be recognized in earnings.  SFAS No. 159 also establishes additional disclosure requirements. SFAS No. 159 became effective for the Company at the beginning of its first quarter of fiscal 2008.  The Company did not elect the fair value option for any of its financial assets or liabilities.  However, the Company may decide to elect the fair value option on new items in the future.  The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures About Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities - An Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133” which requires enhanced disclosures about (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS 133 and its related interpretations, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS No. 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged.  The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 161 will have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 
NOTE 3. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

@Road, Inc.

On December 10, 2006, the Company and @Road, Inc. (@Road) entered into a definitive merger agreement.  The acquisition became effective on February 16, 2007.  @Road is a global provider of solutions designed to automate the management of mobile resources and to optimize the service delivery process for customers across a variety of industries. The acquisition of @Road expands the Company’s investment and reinforces the existing growth strategy for its Mobile Solutions segment.  @Road’s results of operations since February 17, 2007 have been included in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income within the Mobile Solutions business segment.

Purchase Price

Under the terms of the agreement, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of @Road common stock for $7.50 per share.  The Company elected to issue $2.50 per share of the consideration in the form of the Company’s common stock (Common Stock) to be based upon the five-day average closing price of the Company’s shares six trading days prior to the closing of the transaction and the remaining $5.00 per share consideration was paid in cash. Further, each share of Series A-1 and Series A-2 Redeemable Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share, of @Road was converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to $100.00 plus all declared or accumulated but unpaid dividends with respect to such shares as of immediately prior to the effective time of the merger and each share of Series B-1 Redeemable Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share, of @Road and each share of Series B-2 Redeemable Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share, of @Road was converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to $831.39 plus all declared or accumulated but unpaid dividends with respect to such shares as of immediately prior to the effective time of the merger. In addition, all @Road vested stock options were terminated and the holders of each such option were entitled to receive the excess, if any, of the aggregate consideration over the exercise price. At the effective time of the merger, all unvested @Road stock options with an exercise price in excess of $7.50 were terminated and all unvested stock options that had exercise prices of $7.50 or less were assumed by the Company.

Concurrent with the merger, the Company amended its existing $200 million unsecured revolving credit agreement with a syndicate of 11 banks with The Bank of Nova Scotia as the administrative agent (the 2007 Credit Facility) and incurred a five-year term loan under the 2007 Credit Facility.  See Note 9 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

The Company paid approximately $327.4 million in cash from debt and existing cash, and issued approximately 5.9 million shares of the Company’s common stock based on an exchange ratio of 0.0893 shares of the Company’s common stock for each outstanding share of @Road common stock as of February 16, 2007. The common stock issued had a fair value of $161.9 million and was valued using the average closing price of the Company’s common stock of $27.69 over a range of two trading days (February 14, 2007 through February 15, 2007) prior to, and including, the close date (February 16, 2007) of the transaction, which is also the date that the amount of the Company’s shares to be issued in accordance with the merger agreement was settled. The total purchase price is estimated as follows (in thousands):

Cash consideration
  $ 327,370  
Common stock consideration
    161,947  
Merger costs *
    5,712  
Total Purchase price
  $ 495,029  

* Merger costs consist of legal, advisory, accounting and administrative fees.

Purchase Price Allocation

In accordance with SFAS 141, "Business Combinations,” the total purchase price was allocated to @Road net tangible assets, identifiable intangible assets and in-process research and development based upon their estimated fair values as of February 16, 2007. The excess purchase price over the net tangible, identifiable intangible assets and in-process research and development was recorded as goodwill. The fair values assigned to tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed are based on estimates and assumptions provided by management.

The Company reviewed and adjusted @Road's net tangible assets and liabilities to fair value, as necessary, as of February 16, 2007, including the following adjustments:

Fixed assets – the Company decreased @Road's historical value of fixed assets by $2.1 million to adjust fixed assets to an amount equivalent to fair value.

Deferred revenue and cost of sales – the Company reduced @Road's historical value of deferred revenue by $39.6 million to adjust deferred revenue to the fair value of the direct cost associated with servicing the underlying obligation plus a reasonable margin. @Road’s deferred revenue balance consists of upfront payments of its hosted product, licensed product, extended warranty and maintenance. The Company reduced @Road's historical value of deferred product cost by $47.1 million to adjust deferred product cost to the asset's underlying fair value. The deferred product costs adjustment to fair value related to deferral of cost of sales of hardware that have shipped, resulting in no fair value relating to the associated deferred product costs.

Other receivables and non-current assets – Other receivables and non-current assets were increased by $15.4 million to adjust for the fair value of future cash collections from customer contracts assumed for products delivered prior to the acquisition date.   As the products were delivered prior to the acquisition date, revenue is not recognizable in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

 
Intangible Assets

Developed product technology, which is comprised of products that have reached technological feasibility, includes products in @Road's current product offerings. @Road's technology includes hardware, software and services that serve the mobile resource management market internationally. The Company expects to amortize the developed and core technology over a weighted average estimated life of seven years.

Customer relationships represent the value placed on @Road’s distribution channels and end users. The Company expects to amortize the fair value of these assets over a weighted average estimated life of seven years.

Trademarks and trade names represent the value placed on the @Road brand and recognition in the mobile resource management market. The Company expects to amortize the fair value of these assets over a weighted average estimated life of eight years.

In-process Research and Development

The Company recorded an expense of $2.1 million relating to in-process research and development projects in @Road’s license business.   In-process research and development represents incomplete @Road research and development projects that had not reached technological feasibility and had no alternative future use as of the consummation of the merger.

Goodwill

The excess purchase price over the net tangible, identifiable intangible assets and in-process research and development was recorded as goodwill. The goodwill was attributed to the premium paid for the opportunity to expand and better serve the global mobile resource management market and achieve greater long-term growth opportunities than either company had operating alone. The Company believes these opportunities could include accelerating the rate at which products are brought to market and increasing the diversity and global reach of those products. In addition, the Company expects that the combined companies may be able to obtain greater operating leverage by reducing costs in areas of redundancy. Of the total $264.6 million assigned to goodwill, approximately $4.4 million is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

Restructuring

Liabilities related to restructuring @Road's operations that meet the requirements of EITF 95-3, “Recognition of Liabilities in Connection with a Purchase Business Combination,” have been recorded as adjustments to the purchase price and an increase in goodwill. Liabilities related to restructuring the Company's operations have been recorded as expenses in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income in the period that the costs are incurred.

Deferred Tax Assets/Liabilities

The Company recognized $56.9 million in net deferred tax liabilities for the tax effects of differences between assigned values in the purchase price and the tax bases of assets acquired and liabilities assumed.

@Road Stock Options Assumed

In accordance with the merger agreement, the Company assumed all @Road unvested stock options that had exercise prices of $7.50 or less.  The Company issued approximately 795,000 stock options based on an exchange ratio of 0.268 shares of the Company’s common stock for each unvested stock option with exercise prices of $7.50 or less as of February 16, 2007.  The fair value of these assumed options was determined to be $10.1 million which will be expensed over the remaining vesting terms of the assumed options which is approximately three to four years.  The assumed options were valued using the binomial model similar to previously granted Trimble stock options as discussed in the Company’s fiscal 2007 Form 10-K.

Pro-Forma Results

The following table presents pro-forma results of operations of the Company and @Road, as if the companies had been combined as of December 31, 2005. The unaudited pro-forma results of operations are not necessarily indicative of results that would have occurred had the acquisition taken place on December 31, 2005 or of future results.  Included in the pro-forma results are fair value adjustments based on the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date of February 16, 2007 and adjustments for interest expense related to debt and stock options assumed as part of the merger consideration.

The Company excluded the effect of non-recurring items as the impact is short-term in nature. The pro-forma information is as follows:

Pro-forma net income includes a $0.3 million increase due to the timing of recognizing revenue write-downs and related deferred cost of sales write-downs, amortization of intangible assets related to the acquisition of $2.2 million, and interest expense for debt used to purchase @Road of $1.4 million. The pro-forma amounts provided herein include adjustments to previously filed pro-forma numbers in the Company’s 10-Q’s.

NOTE 4. SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Stock Repurchase Activities

In January 2008, the Company’s Board authorized a stock repurchase program (“2008 Stock Repurchase Program”), authorizing the Company to repurchase up to $250 million of Trimble’s common stock under this program.  During the six months ended June 27, 2008, the Company repurchased approximately 1,255,000 shares of common stock in open market purchases at an average price of $28.90 per share.  The total purchase price of $36.3 million was reflected as a decrease to common stock based on the average stated value per share with the remainder to retained earnings.  Common stock repurchases under the program were recorded based upon the settlement date of the applicable trade for accounting purposes.  All common shares repurchased under this program have been retired. As of June 27, 2008, the 2008 Stock Repurchase Program had remaining authorized funds of $213.7 million.  The timing and actual number of future shares repurchased will depend on a variety of factors including price, regulatory requirements, capital availability, and other market conditions.  The program does not require the purchase of any minimum number of shares and may be suspended or discontinued at any time without public notice.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for its employee stock options and rights to purchase shares under its stock participation plans at fair value, in accordance with SFAS 123(R), “Share-Based Payment.” SFAS 123(R) requires stock-based compensation to be estimated using the fair value on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. The value of the portion of the award that is expected to vest is recognized as expense over the related employees’ requisite service periods in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

The following table summarizes stock-based compensation expense, net of tax, related to employee stock-based compensation included in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Income in accordance with SFAS 123(R) for the three and six months ended June 27, 2008 and June 29, 2007.

Options

Stock option expense recognized during the period is based on the value of the portion of the stock option that is expected to vest during the period. The fair value of each stock option is estimated on the date of grant using a binomial valuation model. The Black-Scholes model was used to value those options granted prior to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005. Similar to the Black-Scholes model, the binomial model takes into account variables such as volatility, dividend yield rate, and risk free interest rate. For options granted for the three and six months ended June 27, 2008 and June 29, 2007, the following assumptions were used:

Expected Dividend Yield – The dividend yield assumption is based on the Company’s history and expectation of dividend payouts.

Expected Stock Price Volatility – The Company’s computation of expected volatility is based on a combination of implied volatilities from traded options on the Company’s stock and historical volatility, commensurate with the expected life of the stock options.

Expected Risk Free Interest Rate – The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for the expected life of the stock options.

Expected Life Of Option – The Company’s expected life represents the period that the Company’s stock options are expected to be outstanding and was determined based on historical experience of similar stock options with consideration to the contractual terms of the stock options, vesting schedules and expectations of future employee behavior.

Credit Facilities

On July 28, 2005, the Company entered into a $200 million unsecured revolving credit agreement (the 2005 Credit Facility) with a syndicate of 10 banks with The Bank of Nova Scotia as the administrative agent.   On February 16, 2007, the Company amended its existing $200 million unsecured revolving credit agreement with a syndicate of 11 banks with The Bank of Nova Scotia as the administrative agent (the 2007 Credit Facility). Under the 2007 Credit Facility, the Company exercised the option in the existing credit agreement to increase the availability under the revolving credit line by $100 million, for an aggregate availability of up to $300 million, and extended the maturity date of the revolving credit line by 18 months, from July 2010 to February 2012.  Up to $25 million of the availability under the revolving credit line may be used to issue letters of credit, and up to $20 million may be used for swing line loans.  In addition, during the first quarter of fiscal 2007 the Company incurred a five-year term loan under the 2007 Credit Facility in an aggregate principal amount of $100 million, which has subsequently been paid off.  The maximum leverage ratio under the 2007 Credit Facility is 3.00:1.   The funds available under the 2007 Credit Facility may be used by the Company for acquisitions, stock repurchases, and general corporate purposes.

As of June 27, 2008 and December 28, 2007, the Company did not have an outstanding balance on the revolving credit line. The term loan balance was fully paid off in the second quarter of 2008.  The Company was in compliance with all financial debt covenants.

The Company may borrow funds under the 2007 Credit Facility in U.S. Dollars or in certain other currencies, and borrowings will bear interest, at the Company's option, at either: (i) a base rate, based on the administrative agent's prime rate, plus a margin of between 0% and 0.125%, depending on the Company's leverage ratio as of its most recently ended fiscal quarter, or (ii) a reserve-adjusted rate based on the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR), Euro Interbank Offered Rate (EURIBOR), Stockholm Interbank Offered Rate (STIBOR), or other agreed-upon rate, depending on the currency borrowed, plus a margin of between 0.625% and 1.125%, depending on the Company's leverage ratio as of the most recently ended fiscal quarter. The Company's obligations under the 2007 Credit Facility are guaranteed by certain of the Company's domestic subsidiaries.

The 2007 Credit Facility contains customary affirmative, negative and financial covenants including, among other requirements, negative covenants that restrict the Company's ability to dispose of assets, create liens, incur indebtedness, repurchase stock, pay dividends, make acquisitions, make investments, enter into mergers and consolidations and make capital expenditures, within certain limitations, and financial covenants that require the maintenance of leverage and fixed charge coverage ratios. The 2007 Credit Facility contains events of default that include, among others, non-payment of principal, interest or fees, breach of covenants, inaccuracy of representations and warranties, cross defaults to certain other indebtedness, bankruptcy and insolvency events, material judgments, and events constituting a change of control. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an event of default, interest on the obligations will accrue at an increased rate and the lenders may accelerate the Company's obligations under the 2007 Credit Facility, however that acceleration will be automatic in the case of bankruptcy and insolvency events of default.

Notes Payable

As of June 27, 2008 and December 28, 2007, the Company had notes payable totaling approximately $569,000 and $690,000, respectively, consisting of government loans to foreign subsidiaries and loans assumed from acquisitions.

Leases and other commitments

The estimated future minimum operating lease commitments as of June 27, 2008, is as follows (in thousands):

Additionally, as of June 27, 2008, the Company had acquisition-related earn-outs of $6.9 million and holdbacks of $11.7 million recorded in Other current liabilities and Other non-current liabilities. The maximum remaining payments, including the $6.9 million and $11.7 million recorded, will not exceed $72.9 million.  The remaining payments are based upon targets achieved or events occurring over time that would result in amounts paid that may be lower than the maximum remaining payments.  The remaining earn-outs and holdbacks are payable through 2010.

At June 27, 2008, the Company had unconditional purchase obligations of approximately $68.7 million. These unconditional purchase obligations primarily represent open non-cancelable purchase orders for material purchases with our vendors. Purchase obligations exclude agreements that are cancelable without penalty. These unconditional purchase obligations are related primarily to inventory and other items.

NOTE 10.  FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

As discussed in Note 2, SFAS No. 157, which requires enhanced disclosures about assets and liabilities measured at fair value, became effective for the Company beginning in its first quarter of fiscal 2008.  The Company’s forward foreign currency exchange contracts and its deferred compensation plan assets and liabilities are presented at fair value in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Fair value is defined as the price at which an asset could be exchanged in a current transaction between knowledgeable, willing parties. A liability’s fair value is defined as the amount that would be paid to transfer the liability to a new obligor, not the amount that would be paid to settle the liability with the creditor. Where available, fair value is based on observable market prices or parameters or derived from such prices or parameters. Where observable prices or inputs are not available, valuation models are applied. These valuation techniques involve some level of management estimation and judgment, the degree of which is dependent on the price transparency for the instruments or market and the instruments’ complexity.

Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring basis in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets are categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their fair value. Hierarchical levels, defined by SFAS No. 157 and directly related to the amount of subjectivity associated with the inputs to fair valuation of these assets and liabilities, are as follows:

Level I – Observable inputs such as unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.

Level II – Inputs (other than quoted prices included in Level I) are either directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability.  These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.

Level III – Unobservable inputs that reflect management’s best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Consideration is given to the risk inherent in the valuation technique and the risk inherent in the inputs to the model.

Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are categorized in the tables below based upon the lowest level of significant input to the valuations.

(2)
Derivative assets and liabilities:  Derivative assets and liabilities included in Level II primarily represent forward currency exchange contracts. The fair values are determined using inputs based on observable quoted prices.
 
 
NOTE 11. PRODUCT WARRANTIES

The Company accrues for warranty costs as part of its cost of sales based on associated material product costs, technical support labor costs, and costs incurred by third parties performing work on the Company's behalf.  The Company’s expected future costs are primarily estimated based upon historical trends in the volume of product returns within the warranty period and the costs to repair or replace the equipment. The products sold are generally covered by a warranty for periods ranging from 90 days to three years, and in some instances up to 5.5 years.

While the Company engages in extensive product quality programs and processes, including actively monitoring and evaluating the quality of component suppliers, its warranty obligation is affected by product failure rates, material usage, and service delivery costs incurred in correcting a product failure. Should actual product failure rates, material usage, or service delivery costs differ from the estimates, revisions to the estimated warranty accrual and related costs may be required.

Severance and Benefits
  $ 3,344     $ 333     $ 3,344     $ 3,025  
 
During the three and six months ended June 27, 2008, restructuring expenses of $3.3 million were related to management decisions designed to improve operational efficiency and financial results.  The restructuring expenses, included in cost of sales and operating expenses, were related to a decision to streamline processes and reduce the cost structure of the Company, with approximately 90 employees affected worldwide. Of the total, $2.8 million is related to the Engineering and Construction segment and $0.5 million is related to the Mobile Solutions segment. As a result of these decisions, the Company expects restructuring activities in the Engineering and Construction segment to result in additional restructuring expenses totaling approximately $2.6 million through the first quarter of 2010.

18

 
During the three and six months ended June 29, 2007, restructuring expenses of $0.3 million and $3.0 million, respectively were for charges associated with the Company’s acquisition of @Road. The restructuring expenses were related to the acceleration of vesting of employee stock options for certain terminated @Road employees, of which $1.4 million was settled in cash and $1.6 million was recorded as Shareholders’ equity.

Restructuring costs associated with a business combination:
In addition to the restructuring expenses in the six months ended June 27, 2008, the Company had $0.9 million in restructuring activity reversals related to costs associated with exiting activities of pre-merger @Road.  The reversals were primarily due to severance and benefits costs for employees whose positions were retained in a variety of functions.  The reversals were recognized in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 as a reduction of the liability assumed in the purchase business combination that had been included in the allocation of the cost to acquire @Road and, accordingly, resulted in a decrease to goodwill rather than an expense reduction in the six months ended June 27, 2008.
 
In addition to the restructuring expenses in the six months ended June 29, 2007, costs associated with exiting activities of pre-merger @Road of $3.6 million, consisted of severance and benefits costs.  These costs were recognized as a liability assumed in the purchase business combination and were included in the allocation of the cost to acquire @Road and accordingly, resulted in an increase to goodwill rather than an expense in the six months ended June 29, 2007.

Restructuring activity:
Restructuring activity for the six months ended June 27, 2008 was as follows (in thousands):
 
Balance as of December 28, 2007
  $ 1,326  
Charges
    3,344  
Payments
    (2,450 )
Adjustment
    (909 )
Balance as of June 27, 2008
  $ 1,311  

The $1.3 million restructuring accrual consists of severance and benefits.  Of the $1.3 million restructuring accrual, $0.9 million is included in Other current liabilities and is expected to be settled by the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008.  The remaining balance of $0.4 million is included in Other non-current liabilities and is expected to be settled by the first quarter of fiscal 2010.
 
 
NOTE 14: INCOME TAXES

In July 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (FIN 48). FIN 48 applies to all tax positions related to income taxes subject to Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” Under FIN 48, a company would recognize the benefit from a tax position only if it is more-likely-than-not that the position would be sustained upon audit based solely on the technical merits of the tax position. FIN 48 clarifies how a company would measure the income tax benefits from the tax positions that are recognized, provides guidance as to the timing of the derecognition of previously recognized tax benefits and describes the methods for classifying and disclosing the liabilities within the financial statements for any unrecognized tax benefits (UTB). FIN 48 also addresses when a company should record interest and penalties related to tax positions and how the interest and penalties may be classified within the income statement and presented in the balance sheet.

The Company adopted FIN 48 on December 30, 2006, and the amount of liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits (net of the federal benefit on state issues) that, if recognized, would favorably affect the effective income tax rate in any future period are $30.5 million and $28.4 million at June 27, 2008 and December 28, 2007, respectively.  The unrecognized tax benefits are recorded in Other non-current liabilities and within the deferred tax accounts in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
 
The Company’s continuing practice is to recognize interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. The Company’s liability includes interest and penalties at June 27, 2008 and December 30, 2007, of $3.7 million and $3.1 million, respectively, which were recorded in Other Non-Current Liabilities in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The Company and its U.S. subsidiaries are subject to U.S. federal and state income tax.  The Company has substantially concluded all U.S. federal and state income tax matters for years through 1992.  Non-U.S. income tax matters have been concluded for years through 2000.  The Company is currently in various stages of multiple year examinations by Federal, State, and foreign taxing authorities.  At this point in the examinations, the Company does not anticipate a significant impact to the unrecognized tax benefits balance with respect to current tax examinations.  Furthermore, although the timing of the resolution and/or the closure on audits is highly uncertain, the Company does not believe that the unrecognized tax benefits would materially change in the next twelve months.
 
The Company’s effective income tax rate for the three  and six months ended June 27, 2008 was 27.5% and 30.1%, respectively, as compared to 37.7% and 35.2% for the three and six months ended June 29, 2007.

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

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U. S. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to product returns, doubtful accounts, inventories, investments, intangible assets, income taxes, warranty obligations, restructuring costs and contingencies and litigation. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the amount and timing of revenue and expenses and the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

There have been no changes to our significant accounting polices during the six months ended June 27, 2008 from those disclosed in our 2007 Form 10-K. 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Updates to recent accounting standards as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2007 are as follows:

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements,” which clarifies the definition of fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value within GAAP and expands the disclosures regarding fair value measurements. In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 157-2 deferring the effective date of SFAS No. 157 to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a nonrecurring basis. We adopted SFAS 157 in the first quarter of fiscal 2008. The adoption did not have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115.”  SFAS No. 159 allows an entity the irrevocable option to elect fair value for the initial and subsequent measurement for certain financial assets and liabilities under an instrument-by-instrument election. Subsequent measurements for the financial assets and liabilities an entity elects to fair value will be recognized in earnings.  SFAS No. 159 also establishes additional disclosure requirements. SFAS No. 159 became effective for us at the beginning of its first quarter of fiscal 2008.  We did not elect the fair value option for any of our financial assets or liabilities.  However, we may decide to elect the fair value option on new items in the future.  The adoption did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures About Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities - An Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133” which requires enhanced disclosures about (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS 133 and its related interpretations, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS No. 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged.  We do not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 161 will have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

EXECUTIVE LEVEL OVERVIEW

Trimble’s focus is on combining positioning technology with wireless communication and application capabilities to create system-level solutions that enhance productivity and accuracy for our customers. The majority of our markets are end-user markets, including engineering and construction firms, governmental organizations, public safety workers, farmers and companies who must manage fleets of mobile workers and assets. In our Advanced Devices segment, we also provide components to original equipment manufacturers to incorporate into their products.  In the end user markets, we provide a system that includes a hardware platform that may contain software and customer support. Some examples of our solutions include products that automate and simplify the process of surveying land, products that automate the utilization of equipment such as tractors and bulldozers, products that enable a company to manage its mobile workforce and assets, and products that allow municipalities to manage their fixed assets. In addition, we also provide software applications on a stand-alone basis.

21

 
Solutions targeted at the end-user make up a significant majority of our revenue. To create compelling products, we must attain an understanding of the end users’ needs and work flow, and how location-based technology can enable that end user to work faster, more efficiently, and more accurately. We use this knowledge to create highly innovative products that change the way work is done by the end-user. With the exception of our Mobile Solutions and Advanced Devices segments, our products are generally sold through a dealer channel, and it is crucial that we maintain a proficient global, third-party distribution channel.

We continued to execute our strategy with a series of actions that can be summarized in four categories.

Reinforcing our position in existing markets

* We believe that our markets provide us with additional, substantial potential for substituting our technology for traditional methods. We are continuing to develop new products and to strengthen our distribution channels in order to expand our market opportunity. In the first quarter of fiscal 2008, we introduced the AgGPS® EZ-Guide® lightbar guidance system, GPS Pathfinder® ProXTR receiver, and Trimble® MEP layout solution for the mechanical, electrical, and plumbing trades as well as a new wireless data controller for the LM80 Layout Manager to connect the office and job site.  In the second quarter of fiscal 2008, we introduced the Trimble® GeoExplorer® 2008 Series for mapping and Geographic Information System (GIS), Trimble GCS900 Grade Control System version 10.8, that provides automatic blade control and configurable earthworks progress monitoring in higher gears, and Trimble Coastal Center™ software that provides network operators the ability to monitor and control multiple differential GPS (DGPS) beacon stations from one central location.  All of these new products strengthened our competitive position and created new value for the user.

Extending our position in existing markets through new product categories

* We are utilizing the strength of the Trimble brand in our markets to expand our revenues by bringing new products to existing users. In the first quarter of fiscal 2008, we introduced the Agriculture Manager™ asset management system, a new sensor for the Trimble CCS900 compaction control system that provides real-time material density information to earthworks operators, and EZ-Office™ software for agriculture. In the second quarter of fiscal 2008, we were chosen to supply Trimble VRS™ (Virtual Reference Station) technology to establish a nationwide GNSS infrastructure network for the Republic of Croatia called the CROatian POsitioning System (CROPOS).  We launched Trimble VRS Now™ Service in Madrid, Spain to provide surveyors, civil engineers and geospatial professionals in the area with instant access to real-time kinematic (RTK) GNSS corrections without the need for a base station.

Bringing existing technology to new markets

* We continue to reinforce our position in existing markets and position ourselves in newer markets that will serve as important sources of future growth. Our efforts in Africa, China, Europe, India, Middle-East and Russia reflected improving financial results, with the promise of more in the future. 

Entering new market segments

* In Q1 2008, we acquired Crain Enterprises, of Mound City, Illinois. Crain is a leading manufacturer of accessories for the geomatics, surveying, mapping, and construction industries. We also acquired Géo-3D Inc. of Montreal, Canada. Géo-3D is a leader in roadside infrastructure asset inventory solutions for the geospatial market.

Revenue

In the three months ended June 27, 2008, total revenue increased by $50.0 million or 15%, as compared to the same corresponding period in fiscal 2007. The increase resulted from strong revenue growth across Engineering and Construction and Field Solutions segments.  Engineering and Construction revenue increased $14.2 million, Field Solutions increased $34.8 million, Mobile Solutions increased $1.4 million, while Advanced Devices decreased $0.3 million, as compared to the same corresponding period in fiscal 2007.  Revenue growth was driven by new products, a robust agricultural environment, and strong international growth. The revenue growth was partially offset by softness in the U.S. market in Engineering and Construction.

In the six months ended June 27, 2008, total revenue increased by $119.6 million or 19%, as compared to the same corresponding period in fiscal 2007. The increase was primarily due to strong revenue performances across Engineering and Construction, Field Solutions, and Mobile Solutions.  Engineering and Construction revenue increased $32.7 million, Field Solutions increased $71.9 million, Mobile Solutions increased $15.5 million, while Advanced Devices decreased $0.5 million, compared to the same corresponding period in fiscal 2007.  Revenue growth within these segments was primarily driven by new product introductions, a robust agricultural environment, strong international growth and a full quarter of @Road for the first quarter as compared to a partial quarter of @Road revenue in the corresponding period in fiscal 2007.  The revenue growth was partially offset by softness in the U.S. market in Engineering and Construction.

Gross Margin

Gross margin varies due to a number of factors including product mix, pricing, distribution channel, production volumes, and foreign currency translations.

23

 
Gross margin increased by $19.9 million and $51.2 million for the three and six months ended June 27, 2008, respectively, as compared to the corresponding period in the prior year.  Gross margin as a percentage of total revenue for the three months ended June 27, 2008 was 49.5%, as compared to 51.0% for the three months ended June 29, 2007.  Gross margin as a percentage of total revenue for the six months ended June 27, 2008 was 49.3% as compared to 50.6% for the six months ended June 29, 2007.

The increase in gross margin for the three and six month periods was primarily due to higher revenue.  The slight decrease in gross margin percentage for the three month and six month periods was driven by product mix, increased amortization of purchased intangibles, and restructuring costs.

Operating Income

Operating income increased by $7.0 million and $25.7 million for the three and six months ended June 27, 2008, respectively, as compared to the corresponding period in the prior year.  Operating income as a percentage of total revenue was 16.7% for the three months ended June 27, 2008, as compared to 17.1% for the three months ended June 29, 2007.  Operating income as a percentage of total revenue was 16.5% for the six month period ended June 27, 2008 as compared to 15.5% for the six months ended June 29, 2007.

The increase in operating income for both the three and six month periods was primarily driven by increased revenue.  The slight decrease in operating income percentage for the three month period was primarily due to restructuring costs and lower gross margin, offset by strong operating expense control in Field Solutions and Mobile Solutions.  The increase in operating income percentage for the six month periods was primarily due to strong operating expense control in Field Solutions and Mobile Solutions, offset partially by lower gross margin and also IPR&D expenses in the corresponding period in the prior year.

Results by Segment

To achieve distribution, marketing, production, and technology advantages in our targeted markets, we manage our operations in the following four segments: Engineering and Construction, Field Solutions, Mobile Solutions, and Advanced Devices.  Operating income equals net revenue less cost of sales and operating expenses, excluding general corporate expenses, amortization of purchased intangibles, in-process research and development expenses, and restructuring charges.

The revenue growth for both the three month and six month periods ended June 27, 2008 was driven by strong international sales, partially offset by softness in the U.S. markets.  Operating income for both the three and six month periods ended June 27, 2008 decreased primarily due to lower gross margin due to product mix and higher operating expenses due to the impact of acquisitions made during the last twelve months.

Field Solutions

Field Solutions revenue increased by $34.8 million or 63% and $71.9 million or 68% for the three and six months ended June 27, 2008, as compared to the same corresponding period in fiscal 2007.  Segment operating income increased by $16.4 million or 89% and $34.9 million or 100% for the three and six months ended June 27, 2008, as compared to the same corresponding period in fiscal 2007.

The revenue increase for both the three and six month periods ended June 27, 2008 was driven by the introduction of new agricultural products and a worldwide robust agricultural market. Operating income for both the three and six month periods ended June 27, 2008 increased primarily due to higher revenue, gross margin improvement, and operating expense control.

Mobile Solutions

Mobile Solutions revenue increased by $1.4 million or 3% and $15.5 million or 22% for the three and six months ended June 27, 2008, as compared to the same corresponding period in fiscal 2007.  Segment operating income decreased by $1.0 million or 33% for the three months ended June 27, 2008, as compared to the same corresponding period in fiscal 2007.  Segment operating income increased by $0.5 million or 12% for the six months ended June 27, 2008, as compared to the same corresponding period in fiscal 2007.

Revenue, for the three month period ended June 27, 2008, as compared to the corresponding period of fiscal 2007 grew due to increased subscription revenue.  Revenue for the six month period grew due to increase subscription revenue and a full quarter of @Road revenue as compared to partial quarter of @Road revenue in the corresponding period in fiscal 2007. Operating income for the three month period ended June 27, 2008 decreased due to lower revenue in the handheld business partially offset by increased subscription revenue and operating expense control.  .Operating income for the six months increased due to increased subscription revenue and operating expense control, partially offset by lower revenue in the handheld business.

Advanced Devices

Advanced Devices revenue decreased by $0.3 million or 1% and $0.5 million or 1% for the three and six months ended June 27, 2008, as compared to the same corresponding period in fiscal 2007.  Segment operating income increased by $1.2 million or 22% and $2.5 million or 29% for the three and six months ended June 27, 2008, as compared to the same corresponding period in fiscal 2007.

For the three and six months ended June 27, 2008, as compared to the corresponding periods in fiscal 2007, revenue remained relatively flat while segment operating income increased primarily due to product mix in Component Technologies and Military.

Overall, R&D, S&M, and G&A expense increased by approximately $10.9 million and $27.1 million for the three and six months ended June 27, 2008, as compared to the corresponding period in fiscal 2007.

The increase in R&D expense in the second quarter of fiscal 2008, as compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2007, was primarily due to an increase in compensation related expenses of $1.4 million, foreign currency exchange rates of $1.5 million, engineering costs associated with new product roll-outs of $1.6 million and additional acquisition-related expenses of $1.1 million.  The increase in R&D expense in the first six months of fiscal 2008, as compared with the corresponding period in fiscal 2007, was due to an increase in compensation related expenses of $4.9 million due in part to a full quarter of @Road compensation expenses in the first quarter as compared to a partial quarter of @Road compensation expenses in the corresponding period in fiscal 2007.  The R&D expense increase was also attributable to an increase foreign currency exchange rates of $3.0 million, engineering costs associated with new product roll-outs of $1.4 million, and additional operating expenses associated with recent business acquisitions of $2.1 million.

All of our R&D costs have been expensed as incurred. Costs of software developed for external sale subsequent to reaching technical feasibility were not considered material and were expensed as incurred.

* We believe that the development and introduction of new products are critical to our future success and we expect to continue active development of new products.

The increase in S&M expenses in the second quarter of fiscal 2008, as compared to the corresponding period of fiscal 2007, was primarily due to an increase in foreign currency exchange rates of $1.8 million, marketing communication expenses of $1.2 million and additional acquisition-related expenses of $0.8 million.  The increase in S&M expenses in the first six months of fiscal 2008 as compared with the corresponding period of fiscal 2007 was due to an increase in compensation related expenses of $2.7 million due in part to a full quarter of @Road compensation expenses in the first quarter as compared to a partial quarter of @Road compensation expenses in the corresponding period in fiscal 2007.  The S&M expense increase was also attributable to an increase in foreign currency exchange rates of $3.5 million, marking communication expenses of $2.9 million and additional operating expenses associated with recent business acquisitions of $1.5 million.

* Our future growth will depend in part on the timely development and continued viability of the markets in which we currently compete as well as our ability to continue to identify and develop new markets for our products.

The increase in G&A expenses in the second quarter of fiscal 2008, as compared to the corresponding period in fiscal 2007, was primarily due to additional operating expenses associated with business acquisitions of $1.1 million and foreign currency exchange rates of $0.7 million, partially offset by lower tax and legal fees of $1.1 million. The increase in G&A expenses in the first six months of fiscal 2008 compared with the corresponding period in fiscal 2007 was primarily due to additional operating expenses associated with business acquisitions of $2.0 million and foreign currency exchange rates of $1.3 million, partially offset by lower tax and legal fees of $1.7 million.

Amortization of Purchased Intangible Assets

Amortization of purchased intangible assets was $10.9 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2008, as compared to $10.4 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2007.  The increase was due primarily to acquisitions not applicable in the corresponding period of fiscal 2007, primarily UAI, Crain and HHK.  Amortization of purchased intangible assets was $21.7 million in the first six months of fiscal 2008, as compared to $18.3 million in the first six months of fiscal 2007, due to acquisitions not applicable in the corresponding period of fiscal 2007, primarily @Road.

As of June 27, 2008, future amortization of intangible assets is expected to be $21.7 million during the remaining two quarters of fiscal 2008, $40.1 million during 2009, $37.9 million during 2010, $33.0 million during 2011, $25.0 million during 2012, and $29.2 million thereafter.

In-Process Research and Development

We recorded no in-process research and development (IPR&D) expense during the three and six months ended June 27, 2008, respectively, as compared to $0 million and $2.1 million in the corresponding periods in 2007.  At the date of each acquisition, the projects associated with the IPR&D efforts had not yet reached technological feasibility and the research and development in process had no alternative future uses. The value of the IPR&D was determined using a discounted cash flow model similar to the income approach, focusing on the income producing capabilities of the in-process technologies. Accordingly, the value assigned to these IPR&D amounts was charged to expense on the respective acquisition date of each of the acquired companies.

Restructuring Charges

Restructuring expenses for the three and six months ended June 27, 2008 and June 29, 2007 were as follows:

During the three and six months ended June 27, 2008, restructuring expenses of $3.3 million were related to management decisions designed to improve operational efficiency and financial results.  The restructuring expenses, included in cost of sales and operating expenses, were related to a decision to streamline processes and reduce the cost structure of the company, with approximately 90 employees affected worldwide within our Engineering and Construction and Mobile Solutions segments. As a result of these decisions, we expect these restructuring activities to result in additional restructuring expenses totaling approximately $2.6 million through the first quarter of 2010.

During the three and six months ended June 29, 2007, restructuring expenses of $0.3 million and $3.0 million, respectively were for charges associated with our acquisition of @Road. The restructuring expenses were related to the acceleration of vesting of employee stock options for certain terminated @Road employees, of which $1.4 million was settled in cash and $1.6 million was recorded as Shareholders’ equity.

Restructuring costs associated with a business combination:
In addition to the restructuring expenses in the six months ended June 27, 2008, the Company had $0.9 million in reversals related to restructuring costs associated with exiting activities of pre-merger @Road.  The reversals were primarily due to severance and benefits costs for employees whose positions were retained in a variety of functions.  The reversals were recognized in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 as a reduction of the liability assumed in the purchase business combination that had been included in the allocation of the cost to acquire @Road and, accordingly, resulted in a decrease to goodwill rather than an expense reduction in the three and six months ended June 27, 2008.
 
In addition to the restructuring expenses in the six months ended June 29, 2007, restructuring costs, associated with exiting activities of pre-merger @Road of $3.6 million, consisted of severance and benefits costs.  These costs were recognized as a liability assumed in the purchase business combination and were included in the allocation of the cost to acquire @Road and accordingly, resulted in an increase to goodwill rather than an expense in the six months ended June 29, 2007.

Restructuring activity:
Restructuring activity for the six months ended June 27, 2008 was as follows (in thousands):

The $1.3 million restructuring accrual consists of severance and benefits.  The severance charges will be paid through the first quarter of fiscal 2010. Of the $1.3 million restructuring accrual, $0.9 million is included in Other current liabilities and is expected to be settled by the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008.  The remaining balance of $0.4 million is included in Other non-current liabilities and is expected to be settled by the first quarter of fiscal 2010.

Non-operating income, net, increased $3.8 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2008, as compared to the corresponding period in fiscal 2007 due to a decrease in interest expense of $2.0 million and an increase in foreign exchange gains of $1.7 million.

Non-operating income, net, increased by $2.8 million during the first six months of fiscal 2008, as compared to the corresponding period in fiscal 2007, due to decrease in interest expense of $2.7 million and an increase in foreign exchange gains of $2.3 million, partially offset by losses on deferred compensation plan investments included in Other income (expense) of $0.9 million and a decrease in interest income of $0.9 million.

Income Tax Provision

Our effective income tax rate for the three and six months ended June 27, 2008 was 27.5% and 30.1%, respectively, as compared to 37.7% and 35.2% for the three and six months ended June 29, 2007.  The 2008 second quarter fiscal rate is lower than the statutory federal income tax rate of 35% primarily due to the implementation of a global supply chain management structure.  The 2007 second quarter fiscal rate was greater than the statutory federal income tax rate of 35% primarily due to impacts resulting from SFAS No. 123( R ), “Share-Based Payment” and state income tax expense.

* We anticipate an annual estimated effective tax rate of 31.0% for fiscal year 2008. The tax rate could be affected by several factors including stock option activity, geographic mix of our pre-tax income, legislative changes, changes to our existing valuation allowances or contingent tax liabilities, and/or discrete quarterly events.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET FINANCINGS AND LIABILITIES

Other than lease commitments incurred in the normal course of business, we do not have any off-balance sheet financing arrangements or liabilities, guarantee contracts, retained or contingent interests in transferred assets, or any obligation arising out of a material variable interest in an unconsolidated entity. We do not have any majority-owned subsidiaries that are not included in the condensed consolidated financial statements. Additionally, we do not have any interest in, or relationship with, any special purpose entities.

In the normal course of business to facilitate sales of its products, we indemnify other parties, including customers, lessors, and parties to other transactions with the Company, with respect to certain matters. We have agreed to hold the other party harmless against losses arising from a breach of representations or covenants, or out of intellectual property infringement or other claims made against certain parties. These agreements may limit the time within which an indemnification claim can be made and the amount of the claim. In addition, we have entered into indemnification agreements with its officers and directors, and the Company’s bylaws contain similar indemnification obligations to our agents.

28

 
It is not possible to determine the maximum potential amount under these indemnification agreements due to the limited history of prior indemnification claims and the unique facts and circumstances involved in each particular agreement. Historically, payments made by us under these agreements were not material and no liabilities have been recorded for these obligations on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 27, 2008 and December 28, 2007.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

As of June 27, 2008, cash and cash equivalents totaled $79.8 million compared to $103.2 million at December 30, 2007. We had debt of $0.6 million compared to $60.7 million at December 28, 2007.

* Our ability to continue to generate cash from operations will depend in large part on profitability, the rate of collections of accounts receivable, our inventory turns, and our ability to manage other areas of working capital.

* We believe that our cash and cash equivalents, together with our revolving credit facilities will be sufficient to meet our anticipated operating cash needs and stock purchases under the stock repurchase program for at least the next twelve months.

* We anticipate that planned capital expenditures primarily for computer equipment, software, manufacturing tools and test equipment, and leasehold improvements associated with business expansion, will constitute a partial use of our cash resources.  Decisions related to how much cash is used for investing are influenced by the expected amount of cash to be provided by operations.

Operating Activities

Cash provided by operating activities was $100.4 million for the six months ended June 27, 2008, as compared to $86.5 million for the six months ended June 29, 2007.  This increase of $13.9 million was primarily driven by an increase in net income before non-cash depreciation expense and amortization and working capital improvements in accounts receivables and inventories, offset by a decrease in income taxes due.

Investing Activities

Cash used in investing activities was $52.9 million for the six months ended June 27, 2008, as compared to $283.1 million for the six months ended June 29, 2007.  The decrease was due to cash used for acquisitions, attributable primarily to @Road which was acquired in the first quarter of fiscal 2007.

Financing Activities

Cash used by financing activities was $75.9 million for the six months ended June 27, 2008, as compared to cash provided of $144.2 million for the six months ended June 29, 2007, primarily due to the stock repurchase of $36.3 million and repayment of outstanding debt of $60.3 million in the first six months of 2008 as compared to outstanding debt of $122.5 million that was incurred for the @Road acquisition in the corresponding period in fiscal 2007.

Accounts receivable days sales outstanding were 64 days as of June 27, 2008, as compared to 70 days as of December 28, 2007 due to increased revenue linearily.  Our accounts receivable days sales outstanding are calculated based on ending accounts receivable, net divided by revenue times 91 days. Our inventory turns were at 4.5 as of June 27, 2008 as compared to 4.3 for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007.  Our inventory turnover is based on the total cost of sales for the fiscal period over the average inventory for the corresponding fiscal period.

Debt

Our total debt was approximately $0.6 million as of June 27, 2008 compared to $60.7 million as of December 28, 2007.

On July 28, 2005, we entered into a $200 million unsecured revolving credit agreement (the 2005 Credit Facility) with a syndicate of 10 banks with The Bank of Nova Scotia as the administrative agent.  On February 16, 2007, the Company amended its existing $200 million unsecured revolving credit agreement with a syndicate of 11 banks with The Bank of Nova Scotia as the administrative agent (the 2007 Credit Facility). Under the 2007 Credit Facility, the Company exercised the option in the existing credit agreement to increase the availability under the revolving credit line by $100 million, for an aggregate availability of up to $300 million, and extended the maturity date of the revolving credit line by 18 months, from July 2010 to February 2012.  Up to $25 million of the availability under the revolving credit line may be used to issue letters of credit, and up to $20 million may be used for swing line loans.  In addition, during the first quarter of fiscal 2007 the Company incurred a five-year term loan under the 2007 Credit Facility in an aggregate principal amount of $100 million, which has subsequently been paid off.  The maximum leverage ratio under the 2007 Credit Facility is 3.00:1.   The funds available under the new 2007 Credit Facility may be used by the Company for acquisitions, stock repurchases, and general corporate purposes.  For additional discussion of our debt, see Note 9 of Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

We may borrow funds under the 2007 Credit Facility in U.S. Dollars or in certain other currencies, and borrowings will bear interest, at the Company's option, at either: (i) a base rate, based on the administrative agent's prime rate, plus a margin of between 0% and 0.125%, depending on the Company's leverage ratio as of its most recently ended fiscal quarter, or (ii) a reserve-adjusted rate based on the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR), Euro Interbank Offered Rate (EURIBOR), Stockholm Interbank Offered Rate (STIBOR), or other agreed-upon rate, depending on the currency borrowed, plus a margin of between 0.625% and 1.125%, depending on the Company's leverage ratio as of the most recently ended fiscal quarter. The Company's obligations under the 2007 Credit Facility are guaranteed by certain of the Company's domestic subsidiaries.

The 2007 Credit Facility contains customary affirmative, negative and financial covenants including, among other requirements, negative covenants that restrict the Company's ability to dispose of assets, create liens, incur indebtedness, repurchase stock, pay dividends, make acquisitions, make investments, enter into mergers and consolidations and make capital expenditures, within certain limitations, and financial covenants that require the maintenance of leverage and fixed charge coverage ratios. The 2007 Credit Facility contains events of default that include, among others, non-payment of principal, interest or fees, breach of covenants, inaccuracy of representations and warranties, cross defaults to certain other indebtedness, bankruptcy and insolvency events, material judgments, and events constituting a change of control. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an event of default, interest on the obligations will accrue at an increased rate and the lenders may accelerate the Company's obligations under the 2007 Credit Facility, however that acceleration will be automatic in the case of bankruptcy and insolvency events of default.  As of June 27, 2008 we were in compliance with all financial debt covenants.

ITEM 4.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

From time to time, we are involved in litigation arising out of the ordinary course of its business. There are no known claims or pending litigation expected to have a material effect on our overall financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

ITEM 1A.  RISK FACTORS

A description of factors that could materially affect our business, financial condition or operating results is included under “Risk and Uncertainties” in Item 1A of Part I of our 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K and is incorporated herein by reference.  There have been no material changes to the risk factor disclosure since our 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

(a)   On March 31, 2008, we issued 21,930 shares of our common stock to a warrant holder pursuant to the exercise of the warrant held by such warrant holder.  The warrant holder exercised such warrants on a cashless basis by surrendering their right to purchase a portion of the shares of common stock based on a value of $28.60 per share, representing the average closing price of our common stock on the ten-day period prior to the exercise date.   In connection with the cashless exercise of the warrants, the warrants were surrendered and no underwriting discounts or commissions were paid.  We offered and sold the common stock issued in connection with these warrants in reliance on the exemption from registration for exchanges of securities with existing security holders by virtue of Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

(b)   None

In January 2008, the Company announced that its board of directors had authorized a stock repurchase program for up to $250 million, effective February 1, 2008. The timing and actual number of shares repurchased will depend on a variety of factors including price, regulatory requirements, capital availability, and other market conditions. The program does not require the purchase of any minimum number of shares and may be suspended or discontinued at any time without public notice.
