NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
1.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION OF UNAUDITED INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q have been prepared by Digi International Inc. (the “Company,” “Digi,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures, normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, have been condensed or omitted, pursuant to such rules and regulations. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto, including the summary of significant accounting policies, presented in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2009 as filed with the SEC (“2009 Financial Statements”).
The condensed consolidated financial statements presented herein reflect, in the opinion of management, all adjustments which consist only of normal, recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the condensed consolidated financial position and the condensed consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The condensed consolidated results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. The year-end condensed balance sheet data were derived from our 2009 Financial Statements, but do not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
In preparing the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, we evaluated our subsequent events through February 5, 2010, the filing date of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended December 31, 2009.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In October 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an amendment to the accounting standards and provided guidance for identifying separate deliverables in a revenue-generating transaction where multiple deliverables exist, and provided guidance for allocation and recognizing revenue based on those separate deliverables. This guidance is expected to result in more multiple-deliverable arrangements being separable than under current guidance. This guidance is effective for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in our fiscal year beginning October 1, 2010. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements.
In October 2009, the FASB issued an amendment to the accounting standards related to certain revenue arrangements that include software elements. This standard clarifies the existing accounting guidance such that tangible products that contain both software and non-software components that function together to deliver the product’s essential functionality shall be excluded from the scope of the software revenue recognition accounting standards. Accordingly, sales of these products may fall within the scope of other revenue recognition accounting standards or may now be within the scope of this standard and may require an allocation of the arrangement consideration for each element of the arrangement. This guidance is effective for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in our fiscal year beginning October 1, 2010. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements.

2.   COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (LOSS)
Comprehensive income (loss) is comprised of net income, foreign currency translation adjustments and unrealized gain (loss) on available-for-sale marketable securities, net of tax. Comprehensive income (loss) was as follows (in thousands):
                 
    Three months ended December 31,  
    2009     2008  
Net income
  $ 1,199     $ 1,016  
Other comprehensive income (loss):
               
Change in foreign currency translation adjustment
    (710 )     (7,901 )
Change in unrealized gain (loss) on investments, net of income tax (provision) benefit of ($23) and $5, respectively
    36       (8 )
 
           
Comprehensive income (loss)
  $ 525     $ (6,893 )
 
           
3.   NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE
Basic net income per common share is calculated based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common and potentially dilutive common shares outstanding during the period. Potentially dilutive common shares of our stock result from dilutive common stock options and shares purchased through the employee stock purchase plan.
The following table is a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators in the net income per common share calculations (in thousands, except per common share data):
                 
    Three months ended December 31,  
    2009     2008  
Numerator:
               
Net income
  $ 1,199     $ 1,016  
 
           
 
               
Denominator:
               
Denominator for basic net income per common share — weighted average shares outstanding
    24,701       25,381  
 
               
Effect of dilutive securities:
               
Employee stock options and employee stock purchase plan
    278       298  
 
           
 
               
Denominator for diluted net income per common share — adjusted weighted average shares
    24,979       25,679  
 
           
 
               
Net income per common share, basic
  $ 0.05     $ 0.04  
 
           
 
               
Net income per common share, diluted
  $ 0.05     $ 0.04  
 
           
Potentially dilutive common shares related to outstanding stock options to purchase 3,438,953 and 3,803,827 common shares for the three month periods ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per common share because the options’ exercise prices were greater than the average market price of common shares and, therefore, their effect would be anti-dilutive.

4.   ACQUISITION
MobiApps Holdings Private Limited
On June 8, 2009, we acquired substantially all the assets of MobiApps Holdings Private Limited (“MobiApps”), a developer of machine-to-machine (“M2M”) communications technology focusing on satellite, cellular, and hybrid satellite/cellular solutions. MobiApps has locations in India, Singapore and in the U.S. Pursuant to the terms of the asset purchase agreements, Digi acquired the U.S. assets located in Herndon, Virginia. In addition, we established Digi Wireless Singapore Pte. Ltd. and Digi m2m Solutions India Private Limited, which acquired the assets of MobiApps’ affiliate companies, located in Singapore and India, respectively. The acquisition was a cash transaction for $3.0 million. An additional $0.5 million may be payable at the end of fiscal 2010, contingent on the achievement of certain performance milestones. We have determined that the MobiApps acquisition is not material to our consolidated results of operations or financial condition. Therefore, pro forma financial information is not presented.

6.   MARKETABLE SECURITIES
Our marketable securities consist of certificates of deposit, corporate bonds and government municipal bonds. We obtain quoted market prices and trading activity for each security we hold, where available, and review the financial solvency of each security issuer and obtain other relevant information from our investment advisors to estimate the fair value for each security in our investment portfolio. Other than the impaired bond issued by Lehman Brothers (“the Lehman Brothers Bond”), four of the securities we held were trading slightly below our amortized cost basis at December 31, 2009. We determined each decline in value to be temporary based upon the factors described above. We expect to realize the fair value of those securities, plus accrued interest, either at the time of maturity or when the security is sold. We monitor our investment values on an ongoing basis and record them at fair value as discussed in Note 7.

6.   MARKETABLE SECURITIES (CONTINUED)
During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008, we recorded an other-than-temporary impairment of $1,014,900 on the Lehman Brothers Bond with a par amount of $1,194,000. The resulting value of $179,100 for the security became its new cost basis as of September 30, 2008. This other-than-temporary impairment reflected the estimated decline in the value of this security precipitated by the bankruptcy of the security’s issuer and is considered a credit loss and thus remains in retained earnings. The impairment charge was recorded as a temporary tax difference as we have sufficient capital gains in the available carryback years to utilize the capital loss that will be realized when the bond is sold. We sold a portion of the bond in fiscal 2009. The remaining value of the Lehman Brothers Bond as of both December 31, 2009 and September 30, 2009 was $134,100. We sold the remainder of the bond in January 2010 for $169,860 and recognized a gain of $35,760 on this sale during the second quarter of fiscal 2010, reflecting the difference between the remaining value and the selling price.
Available-for-sale marketable securities are recorded at fair value on our balance sheet and the unrealized gains and losses are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and were comprised of the following:

7.   FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Fair value is defined as the exit price, or the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the measurement date. This standard also establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from independent sources. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect our assumptions about the factors market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability based upon the best information available in the circumstances. The categorization of financial assets and liabilities within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
The hierarchy is broken down into three levels defined as follows:
    Level 1 — Inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
 
    Level 2 — Inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, and inputs (other than quoted prices) that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
 
    Level 3 — Inputs are unobservable for the asset or liability. See the section below titled Level 3 Valuation Techniques for further discussion of how we determine fair value for investments classified as Level 3.
Assets and Liabilities that are Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
Fair value is applied to financial assets, such as certificates of deposit, corporate bonds and government municipal bonds, which are classified and accounted for as available-for-sale. These items are stated at fair value at each reporting period; however, the definition of fair value is applied using the new guidance which requires us to use quoted market prices in active markets (Level 1).
The following table provides information by level for financial assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis (in thousands):

7.   FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (CONTINUED)
Level 3 Valuation Techniques
Financial assets are considered Level 3 when their fair values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar techniques and at least one significant model assumption or input is unobservable. Level 3 financial assets also include certain investment securities for which there is limited market activity or a decrease in the observability of market pricing for these investments, such that the determination of fair value requires significant judgment or estimation. The remaining portion of our Lehman Brothers Bond was valued at $134,100 primarily using broker pricing data (Level 3) that incorporate transaction details within an inactive market as a baseline, as well as assumptions about liquidity and credit valuation adjustments of marketplace participants at December 31, 2009. No change was made in the Level 3 valuation during the first three months of fiscal 2010. We sold the remainder of the bond in January 2010 for $169,860 and recognized a gain of $35,760 on this sale, reflecting the difference between the remaining value and the selling price.
The use of different assumptions, applying different judgment to inherently subjective matters and changes in future market conditions could result in significantly different estimates of fair value of these securities, currently and in the future. The fair value of our securities could change significantly based on changes in market conditions and continued uncertainties in the credit markets. If these uncertainties continue or if these securities experience credit rating downgrades, we may incur additional impairment charges for other securities in our investment portfolio.

9.   INCOME TAXES
Income taxes have been provided at an effective rate of 34.6% and 0.9% for the three month periods ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
In the three month period ended December 31, 2008, we recorded a discrete tax benefit of $0.4 million resulting from the enactment on October 3, 2008 of the retroactive extension of the research and development tax credit for activity from January 1, 2008 to September 30, 2008. The benefit resulting from such discrete tax event reduced our effective tax rate by 36.1 percentage points for the three month period ended December 31, 2008.
A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of uncertain tax positions is as follows (in thousands):
         
Uncertain tax positions as of September 30, 2009

Expiration of the statute of limitations
    (25 )
 
     
Uncertain tax positions as of December 31, 2009
  $ 4,121  
 
     
The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect our effective tax rate is $3.4 million.
We recognize interest and penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. During the three months ended December 31, 2009, we recognized an immaterial amount of interest and penalties. As of December 31, 2009, we had $0.8 million in accrued interest and penalties on our consolidated balance sheet.
There are no tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly increase or decrease over the next 12 months.
We operate in multiple tax jurisdictions both in the U.S. and outside of the U.S. Accordingly, we must determine the appropriate allocation of income to each of these jurisdictions. This determination requires us to make several estimates and assumptions. Tax audits associated with the allocation of this income, and other complex issues, may require an extended period of time to resolve and may result in adjustments to our income tax balances in those years that are material to our consolidated financial position and results of operations. Certain open tax years are expected to close in future periods that may result in adjustments to our income tax balances in those periods that are material to our consolidated financial position and results of operations.

10.   FINANCIAL GUARANTEES
In general, we warrant our products to be free from defects in material and workmanship under normal use and service. The warranty periods range from 90 days to five years from the date of receipt. We have the option to repair or replace products we deem defective with regard to material or workmanship. Estimated warranty costs are accrued in the period that the related revenue is recognized based upon an estimated average per unit repair or replacement cost applied to the estimated number of units under warranty. These estimates are based upon historical warranty incidents and are evaluated on an ongoing basis to ensure the adequacy of the warranty accrual. The following table summarizes the activity associated with the product warranty accrual (in thousands):

We are not responsible and do not warrant that custom software versions created by original equipment manufacturer (OEM) customers based upon our software source code will function in a particular way, will conform to any specifications or are fit for any particular purpose and we do not indemnify these customers from any third-party liability as it relates to or arises from any customization or modifications made by the OEM customer.
11.   CONTINGENCIES
Contingent obligations
There have been no additional developments in In re Initial Public Offering Securities Litigation since our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2009. Under the settlement, our insurers are to pay the full amount of settlement share allocated to us, and we would bear no financial liability beyond our insured basis. While there can be no guarantee as to the ultimate outcome of this pending lawsuit, we expect that our liability insurance will be adequate to cover any potential unfavorable outcome, less the applicable deductible amount of $250,000 per claim. As of December 31, 2009, we have an accrued liability for the anticipated settlement of $300,000 which we believe is adequate and reflects the amount of loss that is probable and a receivable related to the insurance proceeds of $50,000 which represents the anticipated settlement of $300,000 less a $250,000 deductible. In the event we should have losses that exceed the limits of the liability insurance, such losses could have a material adverse effect on our business and our consolidated results of operations or financial condition.
In addition to the matter discussed above, in the normal course of business, we are subject to various claims and litigation, including patent infringement and intellectual property claims. Our management expects that these various claims and litigation will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations or financial condition.

12.   RESTRUCTURING
On April 23, 2009, we announced a business restructuring to increase our focus on wireless products and solutions that include hardware, software and services. The restructuring included the closing of an engineering facility in Long Beach, California, and the relocation and consolidation of the manufacturing facility in Davis, California to our Minneapolis, Minnesota headquarters. We paid a lease cancellation fee for one of the leased facilities in Davis and had vacated the facility as of the end of fiscal 2009. We continue to maintain non-manufacturing activities at the remaining leased facility in Davis, California. As a result of these initiatives, during the third quarter of fiscal 2009 we recorded a $2.0 million charge, which consisted of $1.8 million for employee termination costs for 86 positions and $0.2 million for contract termination fees and other relocation costs.
All of the 86 positions were vacated in fiscal 2009. The employee termination costs include severance and the associated costs of continued medical benefits and outplacement services. The other restructuring expenses include contract termination fees for non-renewal of lease terms relating to one of the facilities in Davis, California and relocation expenses for employees.
A summary of the restructuring charges and other activity within the restructuring accrual is listed below (in thousands):

Balance December 31, 2009
  $ 545     $ 91     $ 636  
 
                 
The remaining liability is mostly related to continued medical benefits as part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA), which provides for premium reductions for health benefits under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconcilation Act of 1985 (COBRA). The ARRA was amended by the Department of Defense Appropriations Act of 2010 on December 19, 2009, which provides an additional six months (from nine to fifteen months) for receiving the subsidy. We recorded an additional accrual of $0.1 million for the additional six months of continued medical benefits during the three months ended December 31, 2009. We expect the remaining liability to be completed by the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2011.

ITEM 2.   MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
OVERVIEW
We operate in the communications technology industry, which is characterized by rapid technological advances and evolving industry standards. The market can be significantly affected by new product introductions and marketing activities of industry participants. We compete for customers on the basis of existing and planned product features, service capabilities, company reputation, brand recognition, technical support, relationships with partners, quality and reliability, product development capabilities, price and availability.
Net sales increased from $41.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2009 to $43.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2010, an increase of $1.6 million, or 3.9%. Net sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2010 also increased by $3.0 million, or 7.4%, compared to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009. Net income and net income per diluted share increased from $1.0 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, in the first quarter of fiscal 2009 to $1.2 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, in the first quarter of fiscal 2010, an increase of $0.2 million, or $0.01 per diluted share. Net income and net income per diluted share in the first quarter of fiscal 2010 also exceeded net income and net income per diluted share in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009 by $0.2 million, or $0.01 per diluted share. We believe that we are emerging from a period of declining results due to the economic downturn as we have increases in net sales and net income over both the first fiscal and fourth quarters of fiscal 2009. This includes increases in two of our three largest geographic locations, North America and Asia countries, over both the first and fourth quarters of fiscal 2009. Net sales increased from the first quarter of fiscal 2009 to the first quarter of 2010 due partially to the incremental revenue of $0.6 million related to our acquisition of MobiApps.
Our business was negatively impacted by the effects of the severe downturn in the economy in fiscal 2009. We experienced a reduction in demand for our products in all geographic locations. In response to the depressed economic conditions, we put in place a restructuring plan that included various cost reduction actions. We believe the deployment of this restructuring plan has contributed to the improvements in our gross margin over the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009 and also contributed to the reduction of our total operating expenses in the first quarter of fiscal 2010 compared to the same period a year ago.
We suspended our non-sales incentive compensation program for fiscal 2009, for both executive management as well as a large part of the employee base. This program was reinstated for fiscal 2010. We also reduced our sales commission program in the last half of fiscal 2009; however, for fiscal 2010 we have restored the program to levels comparable to the first half of fiscal 2009.
We anticipate that growth in the future will result from products and services that are developed internally as well as from products and services that are acquired. We are continuing to invest in wireless products and services while closely monitoring and controlling discretionary spending. We also are actively managing our supply chain to ensure that our key sources of supply are intact.

Non-embedded
Our non-embedded revenue increased by $1.5 million or 6.7% for the three months ended December 31, 2009 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2008. The increase resulted primarily from net sales of cellular routers and USB products, which were offset by a decrease in net sales of Sarian products due to continued weakened economic conditions. Most of the increase in our non-embedded net sales took place in the North America and Asia countries due to an emerging recovery in economic conditions, offset by a decrease in Latin America and Europe, Middle East and Africa (“EMEA”) where the recovery in economic conditions in EMEA has been slower.

NET SALES (CONTINUED)
Embedded
Our embedded revenue increased by $0.1 million or 0.3% for the three months ended December 31, 2009 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2008. The increase resulted primarily from increases in net sales of modules and incremental net sales of satellite-related products for MobiApps of $0.6 million, as we acquired MobiApps during the third quarter of fiscal 2009. This was partially offset by a decrease in net sales in the first fiscal quarter of 2010 as compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2009 resulting from the maturing of the market for a specific chip. The increase in our embedded net sales took place in North America, Latin America and Asia countries due to an emerging recovery in economic conditions, partially offset by a decrease in the EMEA region where the recovery in economic conditions has been slower. MobiApps net sales of $0.5 million and $0.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2009 are included in Asia countries and North America embedded product sales, respectively.
Our wireless product net sales grew from $13.4 million, or 32.5% of net sales, in the first quarter of fiscal 2009 compared to $15.1 million, or 35.2% of net sales, in the first quarter of fiscal 2010, an increase of 12.5%.

(2)   Includes MobiApps net sales of $481 for the three months ended December 31, 2009.
The fluctuation of foreign currency rates for the three month period ended December 31, 2009 had a favorable impact on net sales of $0.4 million primarily due to the weakening of the U.S. Dollar compared to the Euro. For the three month period ended December 31, 2008, the fluctuation of foreign currency rates had an unfavorable impact on net sales of $1.4 million primarily due to the strengthening of the U.S. Dollar compared to the British Pound and the Euro.
GROSS MARGIN
Gross margin for the three months ended December 31, 2009 was 50.5% compared to 51.4% for the three months ended December 31, 2008. The decrease in the gross margin for the first quarter of fiscal 2010 as compared to the same period a year ago was due to unfavorable product mix primarily within the embedded products, partially offset by favorable manufacturing variances and other expenses resulting from the restructuring that took place in the third quarter of fiscal 2009.
Beginning in the third quarter of fiscal 2009, gross margin has increased sequentially in each quarter as a result of the implementation of the restructuring in the third quarter of fiscal 2009, mainly from the closing of our manufacturing facility in Davis, California and consolidation of manufacturing operations into our Minneapolis plant. We expect that gross margin will approximate current levels for the remainder of fiscal 2010.

OPERATING EXPENSES
Total operating expenses decreased by $0.6 million due to a decrease of $0.9 million in compensation-related expenses primarily due to the restructuring that took place in the third quarter of fiscal 2009, partially offset by incremental operating expenses of $0.6 million related to MobiApps, acquired in June 2009. We expect that total operating expenses will be approximately 44% to 47% of revenue for the remainder of fiscal 2010.

The net decrease in sales and marketing expenses of $0.4 million is primarily due to a reduction of $0.2 million for compensation-related expenses and a reduction of $0.3 million for marketing and travel expenses, offset by a $0.2 million increase due to the incremental ongoing expenses resulting from the MobiApps acquisition.
The net decrease in research and development expenses of $0.5 million is due primarily to a decrease of $0.7 million for compensation-related expenses mostly as a result of the restructuring initiative that took place in the third quarter of fiscal 2009, offset by a $0.2 million increase in incremental ongoing research and development expenses resulting from the MobiApps acquisition.
The net increase in general and administrative expenses of $0.3 million was due primarily to incremental ongoing expenses resulting from the MobiApps acquisition.
OTHER INCOME, NET
Other income, net decreased $0.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2009 as compared to the same period a year ago. The decrease was due to a reduction of interest income of $0.5 million, offset by a reduction of $0.2 million of foreign currency transaction losses. The decrease in interest income was related primarily to the decrease in average interest rates from 3.7% for the three months ended December 31, 2008 as compared to 0.6% for the three months ended December 31, 2009. This was partially offset by a slight increase in average invested balances of marketable securities and cash equivalents for the first quarter of fiscal 2010 compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2009.
INCOME TAXES
For the three months ended December 31, 2009, income taxes have been provided at an effective rate of 34.6% compared to 0.9% for the three months ended December 31, 2008. We recorded a discrete tax benefit of $0.4 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2009 resulting from the enactment on October 3, 2008 of the retroactive extension of the research and development tax credit for activity from January 1, 2008 to September 30, 2008. We expect our annualized 2010 income tax rate, before the impact of discrete items, to be approximately 34% to 36%.

ITEM 2.   MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
We have financed our operations principally with funds generated from operations. At December 31, 2009, we had cash, cash equivalents and short-term marketable securities of $76.6 million compared to $70.7 million at September 30, 2009. Our working capital (current assets less total current liabilities) increased $5.5 million to $111.6 million at December 31, 2009 compared to $106.1 million at September 30, 2009. We anticipate total fiscal 2010 capital expenditures will be approximately $4.0 million.
Net cash provided by operating activities was $3.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2009 as compared to net cash used by operating activities of $2.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2008, resulting in a net increase of $5.9 million. This increase is primarily due to a decrease in inventories for the three months ended December 31, 2009 as compared to an increase in inventories in the three month period ended December 31, 2008. The increase in inventories for the three months ended December 31, 2008 resulted from certain forecasted sales being deferred to future quarters, pre-builds of new products and strategic inventory purchases.
Net cash used by investing activities was $8.5 during the three months ended December 31, 2009 as compared to net cash provided by investing activities of $11.0 million during the three months ended December 31, 2008. The increased usage was due to the timing of maturities of marketable securities in which there were net purchases of marketable securities during the three months ended December 31, 2009 compared to the same period one year ago in which there were net settlements of marketable securities.
There was no cash provided by or used in financing activities during the three months ended December 31, 2009 compared to $0.3 million of cash provided by financing activities during the same period a year ago, resulting from a decrease in proceeds from employee stock purchase plan transactions as we did not purchase our first quarter of fiscal 2010 employee stock until after December 31, 2009.
The strength of our capital structure provides us with stable access to capital markets. Historically we have only accessed capital markets on a short-term basis in order to finance our acquisitions. We may need to access capital markets for future acquisitions. We are committed to managing our capital structure very carefully. We believe that current financial resources, cash generated from operations, and our capacity for debt and/or equity financing will be sufficient to meet currently anticipated growth plans, including capital expenditures, working capital investments and acquisitions. Our financial condition and liquidity are strong.
The contractual obligations disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2009 had no material changes through December 31, 2009. During January 2010 we paid $3.0 million to the former shareholders of Spectrum as stated in the purchase agreement.

ITEM 2.   MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In October 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an amendment to the accounting standards and provided guidance for identifying separate deliverables in a revenue-generating transaction where multiple deliverables exist, and provided guidance for allocation and recognizing revenue based on those separate deliverables. This guidance is expected to result in more multiple-deliverable arrangements being separable than under current guidance. This guidance is effective for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in our fiscal year beginning October 1, 2010. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements.
In October 2009, the FASB issued an amendment to the accounting standards related to certain revenue arrangements that include software elements. This standard clarifies the existing accounting guidance such that tangible products that contain both software and non-software components that function together to deliver the product’s essential functionality shall be excluded from the scope of the software revenue recognition accounting standards. Accordingly, sales of these products may fall within the scope of other revenue recognition accounting standards or may now be within the scope of this standard and may require an allocation of the arrangement consideration for each element of the arrangement. This guidance is effective for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in our fiscal year beginning October 1, 2010. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 3.   QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
INTEREST RATE RISK
Our exposure to interest rate risk relates primarily to our investment portfolio. Our marketable securities are classified as available-for-sale and are carried at fair value. Marketable securities consist of certificates of deposit, corporate bonds and government bonds. Our investment policy specifies the types of eligible investments and minimum credit quality of our investments, as well as diversification and concentration limits which mitigate our risk. Our portfolio contains no auction rate securities. We do not use derivative financial instruments to hedge against interest rate risk because the majority of our investments mature in less than a year.
FOREIGN CURRENCY RISK
We have transactions that are executed in the U.S. Dollar, British Pound, Euro and Japanese Yen. As a result, we are exposed to foreign currency transaction risk associated with certain sales transactions being denominated in Euros, British Pounds or Japanese Yen, and foreign currency translation risk as the financial position and operating results of our foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. Dollars for consolidation. We have not implemented a formal hedging strategy to reduce foreign currency risk.
For the three months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, we had approximately $17.4 million and $18.2 million, respectively, of net sales to foreign customers including export sales, of which $5.8 million and $7.9 million, respectively, were denominated in foreign currency, predominantly Euros and British Pounds. In future periods, we expect a significant portion of sales will continue to be made in both Euros and British Pounds.
The table below compares the average monthly exchange rates of the Euro, British Pound and Yen to the U.S. Dollar:
                         
    Three months ended December 31,     % increase  
    2009     2008     (decrease)  
Euro
    1.4780       1.3201       12.0 %
British Pound
    1.6337       1.5788       3.5  
Yen
    0.0112       0.0104       7.1  
A 10% change from the first three months of fiscal year 2010 average exchange rate for the Euro, British Pound and Yen to the U.S. Dollar would have resulted in a 1.3% increase or decrease in net sales and a 2.6% increase or decrease in stockholders’ equity. The above analysis does not take into consideration any pricing adjustments we might consider in response to changes in such exchange rates.
CREDIT RISK
We have some exposure to credit risk related to our accounts receivable portfolio. Exposure to credit risk is controlled through regular monitoring of customer financial status, credit limits and collaboration with sales management on customer contacts to facilitate payment.
Investments are made in accordance with our investment policy and consist of certificates of deposit, government bonds and corporate bonds. We may have some exposure related to the fair value of our securities, which could change significantly based on changes in market conditions and continued uncertainties in the credit markets. If these uncertainties continue or if these securities experience credit rating downgrades, we may incur additional impairment charges for other securities in our investment portfolio.

ITEM 4.   CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
As of the end of the period covered by this report, we conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)).
