ADC TELECOMMUNICATIONS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—UNAUDITED
Note 1: Basis of Presentation
     These interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. The interim information furnished in this report reflects all normal recurring adjustments, which are necessary, in the opinion of our management, for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods. The operating results for the three and six months ended May 2, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for the full fiscal year. These statements should be read in conjunction with our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2007.
     During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007, we approved a plan to divest ADC Telecommunications Israel Ltd. (“G-Connect”). During the third quarter of fiscal 2006, our Board of Directors approved a plan to divest our APS France Professional Services business (“APS France”). In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 144 “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” these businesses were classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented.
     Fiscal Year
     Our first three quarters end on the Friday nearest to the end of January, April and July, respectively, and our fiscal year ends on October 31.
     Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
     In March 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an amendment of FAS 133” (“SFAS 161”). SFAS 161 applies to all derivative instruments and non-derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as hedging instruments and related hedged items accounted for under SFAS No. 133 “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS 133”). The provisions of SFAS 161 require entities to provide greater transparency through additional 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, results of operations and cash flows. SFAS 161 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. We are currently evaluating the effects, if any, that SFAS 161 may have on our financial statements.
     Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
     A detailed description of our significant accounting policies can be found in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2007 and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended February 1, 2008.
     Derivatives
     We recognize all derivatives on the consolidated balance sheets at fair value. Derivatives that are not designated as hedges are adjusted to fair value through income. For a derivative designated as a fair value hedge of a recognized asset or liability, the gain or loss is recognized in earnings in the period of change together with the offsetting loss or gain on the hedged item attributable to the risk being hedged. For a derivative designated as a cash flow hedge, or a derivative designated as a fair value hedge of a firm commitment not yet recorded on the balance sheet, the effective portion of the derivative’s gain or loss is initially reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive earnings and subsequently reclassified into earnings when the forecasted transaction affects earnings. The ineffective portion of the gain or loss associated with all hedges is reported through income immediately. In the statements of operations and cash flows, hedge activities are classified in the same category as the items being hedged.
     Warranty
     We record reserves for the estimated cost of product warranties at the time revenue is recognized. We estimate the costs of our warranty obligations based on our warranty policy or applicable contractual warranties, our historical experience of known product failure rates, and use of materials and service delivery costs incurred in correcting product failures. In addition, from time to time, specific warranty accruals may be made if unforeseen technical problems arise.

     The following table provides detail on the activity in the warranty reserve accrual balance as of May 2, 2008:

    (In millions)

  $ 8.4     $ 1.9     $ (1.3 )   $ 0.9     $ 8.1  
Note 2: Share-Based Compensation
     Share-based compensation recognized under SFAS No. 123(R) “Share-Based Payment: An amendment of FASB Statement No. 123 and 95,” for the three and six months ended May 2, 2008 was $3.8 million and $9.2 million, respectively. Share-based compensation expense for the three and six months ended May 4, 2007 was $2.7 million and $4.6 million, respectively. This increase was due to the recognition of expense related to performance-based restricted stock units. We recorded $0.7 million and $3.9 million for the three and six months ended May 2, 2008, respectively, related to performance-based grants that we believe will achieve their performance thresholds. There was no comparative expense recorded in fiscal 2007.
Note 3: Acquisitions
     LGC
     On December 3, 2007, we completed the acquisition of LGC Wireless, Inc. (“LGC”), a provider of in-building wireless solution products, headquartered in San Jose, California. These products increase the quality and capacity of wireless networks by permitting voice and data signals to penetrate building structures and by distributing these signals evenly throughout the building. LGC also offers products that permit voice and data signals to reach remote locations.
     We acquired all of the outstanding capital stock and warrants of LGC for approximately $146.0 million in cash (net of cash acquired). In order to address potential indemnity claims of ADC, $15.5 million of the purchase price is held in escrow for up to 15 months following the close of the transaction.
     We acquired $58.9 million of intangible assets as part of this purchase. We recorded $2.0 million and $4.8 million of amortization expense related to these intangibles for the three and six months ended May 2, 2008, respectively. Goodwill of $82.5 million was recorded in this transaction and assigned to our Network Solutions segment. This goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes. We also assumed debt of $17.3 million associated with this acquisition and we repaid $16.2 million of that debt during the second quarter of fiscal 2008. The results of LGC, subsequent to December 3, 2007, are included in our consolidated statements of operations.
     Option holders of LGC shares were given the opportunity either to receive a cash payment for their options or exchange their options for options to acquire ADC shares. Certain LGC option holders received $9.1 million in cash payments for their options. The remaining option holders received ADC options with a fair value of $3.5 million as of the close of the acquisition. Approximately $3.0 million of the option value was added to the purchase price of LGC. Approximately $0.5 million of the option value will be recognized over the remaining vesting period.
     The following table summarizes the preliminary allocation of the purchase price to the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition:

     Century Man
     On January 10, 2008, we completed the acquisition of Shenzhen Century Man Communication Equipment Co., Ltd. and certain affiliated entities (“Century Man”), a leading provider of communication distribution frame solutions, headquartered in Shenzhen, China. The acquisition is expected to accelerate our growth potential in the Chinese connectivity market, as well as provide us with additional products designed to meet the needs of customers in developing markets outside of China.
     We acquired Century Man for $53.4 million in cash (net of cash acquired). In addition, the former shareholders of Century Man may be paid up to an additional $15.0 million if during the three years following closing certain financial results are achieved by the acquired business. Of the purchase price, $7.5 million is held in escrow for up to 36 months following the close of the transaction. Of the $7.5 million, $7.0 million relates to potential indemnification claims and $0.5 million relates to the disposition of buildings.
     We acquired $12.9 million of intangible assets as part of this purchase. We recorded $0.7 million and $0.8 million of amortization expense related to these intangibles for the three and six months ended May 2, 2008, respectively. Goodwill of $27.7 million was recorded in this transaction and assigned to our Global Connectivity Solutions segment. This goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes. The results of Century Man, subsequent to January 10, 2008, are included in our consolidated statements of operations.

Note 4: Discontinued Operations
     G-Connect
     During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007, we approved a plan to divest G-Connect. On November 15, 2007, we completed the sale of G-Connect to Toshira Investments Limited Partnership, an Israeli company, in exchange for the assumption of certain debts of G-Connect and nominal cash consideration. G-Connect had been included in our Wireline segment (now a component of our Network Solutions segment). We classified this business as a discontinued operation in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007. We recorded a loss on the sale of the business of $0.1 million during fiscal 2007. During the first quarter of fiscal 2008, we recorded an additional loss from discontinued operations of $0.5 million due to additional expense related to finalization of the sale.
     APS France
     During the third quarter of fiscal 2006, our Board of Directors approved a plan to divest APS France. On January 12, 2007, we completed the sale of certain assets of APS France to a subsidiary of Groupe Circet, a French company, for a cash price of $0.1 million. In connection with this transaction, we compensated Groupe Circet for assuming certain facility and vehicle leases. APS France had been included in our Professional Services segment. We classified this business as a discontinued operation in the third quarter of fiscal 2006. We recorded a loss on the sale of the business of $22.6 million during fiscal 2006, which includes a provision for employee severance and $7.0 million related to the write off of a currency translation adjustment. We recorded an additional loss of $4.7 million in fiscal 2007, resulting in a total loss on sale of $27.3 million. The additional loss was due to subsequent working capital adjustments and additional expenses related to the finalization of the sale. We had $1.2 million of income from discontinued operations in the first quarter of fiscal 2008. This income was due to the release of certain earlier recorded contingencies from the expiration of the statute of limitations on such exposures. During the second quarter of fiscal 2008, we recorded an additional loss from discontinued operations of $0.2 million.
     The financial results of our G-Connect and APS France businesses are reported separately as discontinued operations for all periods presented in accordance with SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.” The financial results of our G-Connect and APS France businesses included in discontinued operations are:

These exclusions are made if the exercise prices of these options are greater than the average market price of our common stock for the period, or if we have net losses, both of which have an anti-dilutive effect.

     We are required to use the “if-converted” method for computing diluted earnings per share with respect to the shares reserved for issuance upon conversion of the notes (described in detail below and in Note 9). Under this method, we add back the interest expense and the amortization of financing expenses on the convertible notes to net income and then divide this amount by our total outstanding shares, including those shares reserved for issuance upon conversion of the notes. Our convertible debt consists of the following:
                 
    Convertible Shares   Conversion
(In millions)   (In millions)   Price
$200 convertible subordinated note, 1.0% fixed rate, due June 15, 2008
    7.1     $ 28.091  
$200 convertible subordinated note, 6-month LIBOR plus 0.375%, due June 15, 2013
    7.1       28.091  
$225 convertible subordinated note, 3.5% fixed rate, due July 15, 2015
    8.3       27.00

    7.9       28.55  
 
               
Total
    30.4          
 
               
     The 2008 notes and the 2013 notes are evaluated for dilution effects together by adding back their associated interest expense and the amortization of financing expenses and dividing this amount by our total shares, including all 14.2 million shares that could be issued upon conversion of these notes. These notes are evaluated together for dilution effects as the conversion price is the same on both. The 2015 notes and 2017 notes are evaluated separately by adding back the appropriate interest expense and the amortization of financing expenses from each and dividing by our total shares, including all 8.3 million and 7.9 million shares, respectively, that could be issued upon conversion of each of these notes. Based upon these calculations, all shares reserved for issuance upon conversion of our convertible notes were excluded for the three and six months ended May 2, 2008 because of their anti-dilutive effect. However, these shares were included for the three and six months ended May 4, 2007.

Note 8: Goodwill and Intangible Assets
     We previously had recorded $238.4 million of goodwill in connection with our acquisitions of (i) the KRONE group (“KRONE”) in fiscal 2004, (ii) Fiber Optic Network Solutions Corp. (“FONS”) in fiscal 2005, and (iii) an additional eleven percent of the outstanding shares of our majority-owned Indian based subsidiary, KRONE Communications Ltd., in fiscal 2007. During fiscal 2008, we recorded an additional $82.5 million in connection with our acquisition of LGC and $27.7 million in connection with our acquisition of Century Man. All of the goodwill derived from these acquisitions, except LGC, has been assigned to our Global Connectivity Solutions segment. Goodwill derived from the LGC acquisition has been assigned to our Network Solutions segment. Substantially all of this goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes.

     On December 26, 2007, we issued $450.0 million of 3.5% fixed rate convertible unsecured subordinated notes. The notes were issued in two tranches of $225.0 million each. The first tranche matures on July 15, 2015 (“2015 notes”), and the second tranche matures on July 15, 2017 (“2017 notes”). The notes are convertible into shares of common stock of ADC, based on, in the case of the 2015 notes, an initial base conversion rate of 37.0336 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount and, in the case of the 2017 notes, an initial base conversion rate of 35.0318 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount, in each case subject to adjustment in certain circumstances. This represents an initial base conversion price of approximately $27.00 per share in the case of the 2015 notes and approximately $28.55 per share in the case of the 2017 notes, representing a 75% and 85% conversion premium, respectively, based on the closing price of $15.43 per share of ADC’s common stock on December 19, 2007. In addition, if at the time of conversion the applicable stock price of ADC’s common stock exceeds the base conversion price, the conversion rate will be increased. The amount of the increase will be measured by a formula. The formula first calculates a fraction. The numerator of the fraction is the applicable stock price of ADC’s common stock at the time of conversion less the initial base conversion price per share (i.e. approximately $27.00 in the case of the 2015 notes and approximately $28.55 in the case of the 2017 notes). The denominator of the fraction is the applicable stock price of ADC’s common stock at the time of conversion. This fraction is then multiplied by an incremental share factor which is 27.7752 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of 2015 notes and 29.7770 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of 2017 notes. The notes of each series are subordinated to existing and future senior indebtedness of ADC.
     On June 4, 2003, we issued $400.0 million of convertible unsecured subordinated notes in two separate transactions. In the first transaction, we issued $200.0 million of 1.0% fixed rate convertible unsecured subordinated notes that mature on June 15, 2008. In the second transaction, we issued $200.0 million of convertible unsecured subordinated notes that have a variable interest rate and mature on June 15, 2013. The interest rate for the variable rate notes is equal to 6-month LIBOR plus 0.375%. The interest rate for the variable rate notes is reset on each semi-annual interest payment date, which is June 15 and December 15 of each year. We currently expect our existing cash resources will be sufficient to pay $200.0 million for the maturity of our convertible notes due in June 2008. The interest rate on the variable rate notes is 5.204% for the current six-month period ending June 15, 2008. The holders of both the fixed and variable rate notes may convert all or some of their notes into shares of our common stock at any time prior to maturity at a conversion price of $28.091 per share. We may not redeem the fixed rate notes anytime prior to their maturity date. We may redeem any or all of the variable rate notes at any time on or after June 23, 2008.
     From time to time, we may use interest rate swaps to manage interest costs and the risk associated with changing interest rates. We do not enter into interest rate swaps for speculative purposes. On April 29, 2008, we entered into an interest rate swap effective June 15, 2008, for a notional amount of $200.0 million. The secured interest rate swap hedges the exposure to changes in interest rates of our $200.0 million of convertible unsecured subordinated notes that have a variable interest rate of 6-month LIBOR plus 0.375% and a maturity date of June 15, 2013. We have designated the interest rate swap as a cash flow hedge for accounting purposes. The swap is structured so that we receive six-month LIBOR and pay a fixed rate of 4.375%. The variable portion we receive resets semiannually and both sides of the swap are settled net semiannually based on the $200.0 million notional amount. The swap matures concurrently with the end of the debt obligation.
     As of May 2, 2008 and October 31, 2007, we had outstanding debt from our acquisition of ANIHA Telecommunications Products Co. Ltd. (formerly known as the FONS/Nitta joint venture) (“Aniha”) in fiscal 2007 of $0.6 million requiring quarterly payments for principal and interest, with the last payment due on July 10, 2012 at an interest rate of 1.5% per annum and another $0.5 million with an interest rate of LIBOR plus 1.0% per year, which is renewed monthly.
     As a result of our acquisitions of LGC and Century Man during the first quarter of fiscal 2008, we assumed $17.3 million and $4.2 million, respectively, of debt. During the second quarter of fiscal 2008, we repaid the $16.2 million of the debt owed by LGC and $1.8 million of the debt owed by Century Man.
     On April 3, 2008, we entered into a secured five-year revolving credit facility. The credit facility allows us to obtain loans in an aggregate amount of up to $200.0 million and provides an option to increase the credit facility by up to an additional $200.0 million under agreed conditions. The funds drawn from the credit facility will accrue interest on an annual basis at either (i) the greater of (a) the prime rate publicly announced by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and (b) the federal funds effective rate plus 0.5%, plus up to 1.0% depending on our then current total leverage ratio, or (ii) the LIBOR plus a range of 0.75% to 2.0% depending on our then current total leverage ratio.
     Three of our domestic subsidiaries (the “guarantors”) have guaranteed our obligations under the credit facility. Subject to certain customary exceptions, we also granted a security interest in our personal property, the personal property of the guarantors, and the capital stock of the guarantors and two foreign subsidiaries.

Table of Contents

     There are various financial and non-financial covenants that we must comply with in connection with this credit facility. The financial covenants require that during the term of the credit facility we maintain a certain pre-determined maximum total leverage ratio, a maximum senior leverage ratio, and a minimum interest coverage ratio. Compliance with the financial covenants is measured quarterly. Among other things, the non-financial covenants include restrictions on making acquisitions, investments, and capital expenditures except as permitted under the credit agreement. As of May 2, 2008, we were in compliance with our covenants under the credit agreement. We have not drawn on the credit facility to date.
Note 10: Income Taxes
     Effective November 1, 2007, we adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109”. FIN 48 provides new accounting criteria for recording the impact of potential tax return adjustments resulting from future examinations by the taxing authorities relating to uncertain tax positions taken in those returns.
     In applying FIN 48, we recognize the income tax benefit from an uncertain tax position if, based on the technical merits of the position, it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities. The tax benefit recognized in the financial statements from such a position is measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. No tax benefit has been recognized in the financial statements if the more likely than not recognition threshold has not been met. The actual tax benefits ultimately realized may differ from our estimates. In future periods, changes in facts, circumstances, and new information may require us to change the recognition and measurement estimates with regard to individual tax positions. Changes in recognition and measurement estimates are recorded in the financial statements in the period in which the change occurs. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, disclosure and transition relating to uncertain income tax positions.
     The cumulative effect of adopting FIN 48 has been recorded as follows:
         
    (In millions)
Increase in retained earnings
  $ 1.4  
Decrease in goodwill in connection with the KRONE acquisition
    0.9  
Decrease in cumulative translation adjustment
    1.5  
Increase in net deferred income tax assets
    5.8  
Increase in liabilities for unrecognized income tax benefits
    5.0  
     At the FIN 48 adoption date, the gross amount of unrecognized income tax benefits (excluding interest and penalties) was $34.8 million. The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would impact the effective tax rate was $11.3 million. We accrued $3.0 million for interest and penalties related to unrecognized income tax benefits at the adoption date. Interest and penalties related to unrecognized income tax benefits are recorded in income tax expense.
     While it is reasonably possible that the amount of unrecognized tax benefits will change in the next twelve months, we do not expect this change to have a significant impact on our results of operations or financial position.
     We file income tax returns at the federal and state levels and in various foreign jurisdictions. A summary of the tax years where the statute of limitations is open for examination by the taxing authorities is presented below:
         
Major Jurisdictions   Open Tax Years
Australia
    2003-2007  
France
    2004-2007

United States
    2004-2007  
     Under the liability method of accounting for income taxes, a deferred tax asset represents future tax benefits to be received when certain expenses and losses previously recognized in the financial statements become deductible under applicable income tax laws. The realization of a deferred tax asset is dependent on future taxable income against which these deductions can be applied. SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” requires that a valuation allowance be established when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized. As a result of the cumulative losses we incurred in prior years, we previously concluded that a nearly full valuation allowance should be recorded. In fiscal 2006, we determined that our recent experience

generating U.S. income, along with our projection of future U.S. income, constituted significant positive evidence for partial realization of our U.S. deferred tax assets. Therefore, we recorded a tax benefit of $49.0 million in fiscal 2006 and an additional $6.0 million in fiscal 2007 for a total of $55.0 million related to a partial release of valuation allowance on the portion of our U.S. deferred tax assets expected to be realized over the two-year period subsequent to fiscal 2007. At one or more future dates, if sufficient positive evidence exists that it is more likely than not that the benefit will be realized with respect to additional deferred tax assets, we will release additional valuation allowance. Also, if there is a reduction in the projection of future U.S. income, we may need to increase the valuation allowance.
     Our income tax provision for the three and six months ended May 2, 2008 primarily relates to foreign income taxes and deferred tax liabilities attributable to U.S. tax amortization of purchased goodwill from the acquisition of KRONE.
     As of May 2, 2008, our net deferred tax assets were $1,007.6 million with a related valuation allowance of $952.9 million. As of October 31, 2007, our net deferred tax assets were $996.3 million with a related valuation allowance of $944.5 million. Most of our deferred tax assets are related to U.S. income tax net operating losses and are not expected to expire until after fiscal 2021, with the exception of $212.8 million relating to capital loss carryforwards that can be utilized only against realized capital gains through fiscal 2009.
Note 11: Comprehensive Income
     Comprehensive income (loss) has no impact on our net income (loss) but is reflected in our balance sheet through adjustments to shareowners’ investment. Comprehensive income (loss) is derived from foreign currency translation adjustments and the adoption of FIN 48.

Note 13: Segment and Geographic Information
     During the first quarter of fiscal 2008, we completed the acquisition of LGC, which resulted in a change to our internal management reporting structure. A new business unit was created by combining our legacy wireless and wireline businesses with the newly acquired LGC business to form Network Solutions. As a result of this change, we have changed our reportable segments to conform to our current management reporting presentation. We have reclassified prior year segment disclosures to conform to the new segment presentation.

Note 14: Restructuring Charges
     During the three and six months ended May 2, 2008 and May 4, 2007, we incurred restructuring charges associated with workforce reductions as well as the consolidation of excess facilities. The restructuring charges resulting from our actions, by category of expenditures, adjusted to exclude those activities specifically related to discontinued operations, are as follows for the three and six months ended May 2, 2008 and May 4, 2007:
                                 
    Three Months Ended     Six Months Ended

Table of Contents

     Restructuring charges include employee severance and facility consolidation costs resulting from the closure of leased facilities and other workforce reductions attributable to our efforts to reduce costs. During the three and six months ended May 2, 2008, six and 17 employees, respectively, in our Connectivity and Network Solutions segments were impacted by reductions in force. During the three and six months ended May 4, 2007, 24 and 71 employees, respectively, in our Professional Services and Connectivity segments were impacted by reductions in force. The costs of these reductions have been and will be funded through cash from operations.
     Facility consolidation and lease termination expenses represent costs associated with our decision to consolidate and close duplicative or excess manufacturing and office facilities. During the three and six months ended May 2, 2008, we incurred charges of $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively, due to both our decision to close unproductive and excess facilities as well as to the continued softening of real estate markets, which resulted in lower sublease income. During the three and six months ended May 4, 2007, we recorded credits of $1.4 million and $1.0 million, respectively, due primarily to the recognition and collection of subtenant rental income that had been previously written off as uncollectible.
     During the three and six months ended May 4, 2007, we incurred $0.1 million of impairment charges related to internally developed capitalized software costs.
     The following table provides details on our restructuring activity and the remaining accrual balance by category as of May 2, 2008:
                                 
            Continuing              
    Accrual     Operations Net     Cash Payments     Accrual  
Type of Charge   October 31, 2007     Additions     Charged to Accrual     May 4, 2007  
    (In millions)  
Employee severance costs
  $ 7.6     $ 2.0     $ 5.2     $ 4.4  
Facilities consolidation
    12.0       0.2       2.6       9.6  
 
                       
Total restructuring accrual
  $ 19.6     $ 2.2     $ 7.8     $ 14.0  
 
                       
     We expect that all but approximately $0.9 million of the remaining $4.4 million of cash expenditures relating to employee severance costs incurred as of May 2, 2008, will be paid by the end of fiscal 2008. The remaining $0.9 million is expected to be paid by the end of fiscal 2013. Of the $9.6 million to be paid for the consolidation of facilities, we expect that approximately $1.0 million will be paid by the end of fiscal 2008 and that the balance will be paid from unrestricted cash over the respective lease terms of the facilities through 2015. Based on our intention to continue to consolidate and close duplicative or excess manufacturing operations in order to reduce our cost structure, we may incur additional restructuring charges (both cash and non-cash) in future periods. These restructuring charges may have a material effect on our operating results.

     During the first and second quarters of fiscal 2008, we recorded impairment charges of $50.2 million and $18.0 million, respectively, to reduce the carrying value of certain auction-rate securities we hold. These impairment charges, coupled with a $29.4 million charge in fiscal 2007 and sales of $23.2 million in the first quarter of 2008, reduced our carrying value from $193.0 million at October 31, 2007 to $72.2 million at May 2, 2008. We have determined that these impairment charges are other-than-temporary in nature in accordance with EITF 03-1 and FSP FAS 115-1 and 124-1, “The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments”. Given the current state of the credit markets, we will continue to assess the fair value of our auction-rate securities for substantive changes in relevant market conditions, changes in financial condition or other changes in these investments. We may be required to record additional losses for impairment if we determine there are further declines in fair value that are temporary or other-than-temporary.

     On January 26, 2007, we entered into an agreement with certain other holders of securities of BigBand Networks, Inc. (“BigBand”) to sell our entire interest in that entity for approximately $58.9 million in gross proceeds. Our interest in BigBand had been carried at a nominal value. A portion of our interest was held in the form of a warrant to purchase BigBand shares with an aggregate exercise price of approximately $1.8 million. On February 16, 2007, we exercised our warrant and completed the sale of our BigBand stock. This resulted in a gain of approximately $57.1 million. This gain did not have a tax provision impact due to a reduction of the valuation allowance attributable to U.S. deferred tax assets utilized to offset the gain.
     On January 10, 2007, we sold our interest in Redback Networks, Inc. (“Redback”) for gross proceeds of $0.9 million, which resulted in a gain of $0.4 million.
Note 16: Commitments and Contingencies
     Legal Contingencies: We are a party to various lawsuits, proceedings and claims arising in the ordinary course of business or otherwise. Many of these disputes may be resolved without formal litigation. The amount of monetary liability resulting from the ultimate resolution of these matters cannot be determined at this time. As of May 2, 2008, we had recorded approximately $8.1 million in loss reserves for certain of these matters. In light of the reserves we have recorded, at this time we believe the ultimate resolution of these lawsuits, proceedings and claims will not have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations or financial condition. Because of the uncertainty inherent in litigation, however, it is possible that unfavorable resolutions of one or more of these lawsuits, proceedings and claims could exceed the amount currently reserved and could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.
     Other Contingencies: As a result of the divestitures discussed in Note 4, we may incur charges related to obligations retained based on the sale agreement, primarily related to income tax contingencies. At this time, none of those obligations are probable or estimable.
     Change of Control: Our Board of Directors has approved the extension of certain employee benefits, including salary continuation to key employees, in the event of a change of control of ADC.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Overview
     We are a leading global provider of broadband communications network infrastructure products and related services. Our products offer comprehensive solutions enabling the delivery of high-speed Internet, data, video and voice communications over wireline, wireless, cable, enterprise and broadcast networks. These products include fiber-optic, copper and coaxial based frames, cabinets, cables, connectors and cards, wireless capacity and coverage solutions, network access devices and other physical infrastructure components for communication networks. Our products are used primarily in the “last mile/kilometer” of a communications network, which links Internet, data, video and voice traffic from the serving office of the communications service provider to the end-user of communication services.
     We also provide professional services to our customers. These services help our customers plan, deploy and maintain Internet, data, video and voice communication networks. We also assist our customers in integrating broadband communications equipment used in wireline, wireless, cable and enterprise networks. By providing these services, we have additional opportunities to sell our hardware products to these customers.
     Our customers consist primarily of long-distance and local communications service providers and private enterprises that operate their own communication networks. In addition, our customers include cable television operators, wireless service providers, new competitive telephone service providers, broadcasters, government agencies, system integrators and communications equipment manufacturers and distributors.
     During the first quarter of fiscal 2008, we completed the acquisition of LGC, which resulted in a change to our internal management reporting structure. A new business unit was created by combining our legacy wireless and wireline businesses with the newly acquired LGC business to form Network Solutions. As a result of this change, we have changed our reportable segments to conform to our current management reporting presentation. We have reclassified prior year segment disclosures to conform to the new segment presentation.

     We now offer broadband connectivity products, wireless capacity and coverage optimization products, wireline access products and professional services to our customers through the following three reportable business segments:
    Global Connectivity Solutions
 
    Network Solutions
 
    Professional Services
     Our Global Connectivity Solutions products connect wireline, wireless, cable, enterprise and broadcast communications networks over copper (twisted pair), coaxial, fiber-optic and wireless media. These products provide the physical interconnections between network components and access points into networks.
     Our Network Solutions products help improve coverage and capacity for wireless networks and broadband access for wireline networks. These products improve signal quality, increase coverage and capacity into expanded geographic areas, enhance the delivery and capacity of networks, and help reduce the capital and operating costs of delivering wireline and wireless services. Applications for these products include in-building solutions, outdoor coverage solutions, mobile network solutions and wireline solutions.
     Our Professional Services business provides integration services for broadband and multiservice communications over wireline, wireless, cable and enterprise networks. Our Professional Services business unit helps customers plan, deploy and maintain communications networks that deliver Internet, data, video and voice services.
Marketplace Conditions
     Our products and services are deployed primarily by communications service providers and owners and operators of private enterprise networks. We continue to believe the communications industry is in the midst of a multi-year migration to next-generation networks that can deliver reliable broadband services at low, often flat-rate, prices over virtually any medium anytime and anywhere. We believe this evolution particularly will impact the “last mile/kilometer” portion of networks where our products and services primarily are used and where bottlenecks in the high-speed delivery of communications services are most likely to occur.
     We believe there are two key elements driving the migration to next-generation networks:
    First, businesses and consumers worldwide increasingly are becoming dependent on broadband, multi-service communications networks to conduct daily communications tasks for a wide range of business and personal purposes (e.g., emails with large amounts of data, online gaming, video streaming and photo sharing). As a result, individuals and businesses increasingly are using a wide variety of broadband applications through all types of networks. This demand for additional broadband services in turn increases the need for broadband network infrastructure products.
 
    Second, end-users of communications services increasingly expect to do business over a single network connection at a low price. Both public networks operated by communications service providers and private enterprise networks are evolving to provide combinations of Internet, data, video and voice services that can be offered over the same high-speed network connection.
     The evolution to next generation networks is impacting our industry significantly. This evolution is providing increased opportunities to sell infrastructure products that allow networks to provide more robust services at increasing speeds. For instance, overall spending on central office fiber equipment, wireless coverage and capacity equipment and equipment to aid the deployment of fiber based networks closer to the ultimate consumer (i.e., fiber to the node, curb, residence or business, which we refer to as our “FTTX” products) has increased significantly in recent years. We expect these spending trends for central office fiber, FTTX and wireless coverage and capacity solutions to continue. However, sales of these next generation products also tend to be project-based, which causes our sales to fluctuate from period to period and makes the timing of our sales harder to predict.

Table of Contents

     Spending trends on these next generation initiatives in which we participate have not resulted in significant overall spending increases on all categories of network infrastructure equipment. In fact, spending on network infrastructure equipment in total has increased only modestly in recent years, and projections suggest that in the next two to three years overall spending globally will be relatively flat. Our continued ability to compete with other manufacturers of communications equipment depends in part on whether we can continue to develop and effectively market next-generation network infrastructure products.
     Competitive pressures to win and retain customers have caused many of our service provider customers around the world to consolidate with one another. We expect this trend to continue. Our customers engage in consolidation in order to gain greater scale and increase their ability to offer a wider range of wireline and wireless services. Consolidation results in larger customers who have fewer competitors and increased buying power. This places pressure on the prices at which we and other vendors can sell products and services. Additionally, consolidation among our customers has caused short-term spending deferrals while the combined companies focus on integration activities. As customers complete integration activities, we generally expect increased sales demand from these customers due to their prior spending deferrals. Ultimately, the rate at which our customers respond to each other’s competitive threats, the buying power they may gain from consolidation and the products they elect to purchase will impact our sales growth and profit margins and those of other equipment vendors.
     As has been the case for many years, our business remains dependent largely on sales to communications service providers. During the three months ended May 2, 2008 and May 4, 2007, our top five customers were communications service providers that accounted for 40.7% and 45.3%, respectively, of our revenue. During the six months ended May 2, 2008 and May 4, 2007, our top five customers accounted for 39.1% and 42.0%, respectively, of our revenue. While our entry into enterprise markets in recent years has mitigated this dependence within our Connectivity business to some degree, our Professional Services business has become more dependent upon a single customer, AT&T, following the merger of AT&T, BellSouth and Cingular.
     Recently, a number of our competitors have engaged in business combination transactions, and we expect to see continued consolidation among communication equipment vendors. These business combinations may result in our competitors becoming financially stronger and obtaining broader product portfolios than us. As a result, consolidation could increase the resources of our competitors and negatively impact our product sales.
     We believe three things are necessary for us to compete effectively in the current market environment. First, we need to make market share gains, particularly in the areas where spending is increasing. The acceptance of products such as our fiber connectivity for central offices and FTTX, our TrueNet® CopperTen® structured cabling solutions, our Fusion in-building wireless products and FlexwaveTM URH for outdoor wireless coverage and capacity will have a significant impact on our ability to gain market share.
     Second, we need to continue transforming our business model so that we operate more efficiently while continuing to provide superior service to our customers. Finding ways to contain costs, while efficiently servicing the needs of our customers, contributes to our profitability. We presently are implementing the following initiatives as part of an overall strategic approach that we call “competitive transformation:”
    migrating sales volume to customer-preferred, leading technology products and sunsetting end of life products;
 
    improving our customers’ ordering experience through a faster, simpler, more efficient inquiry-to-invoice process;

     We believe our competitive transformation activities have been successful to date. For example, over the last two years our gross profit percentages have increased from 32.2% in fiscal 2006 to 33.5% in fiscal 2007 and to 35.7% in the first six months of fiscal 2008. We believe that a significant portion of these increases are attributable to our competitive transformation activities. Our ability to continue to implement this strategy is subject to numerous risks and uncertainties and we cannot assure that our efforts related to this strategy will be successful. In addition, our gross profit percentages have and will continue to fluctuate from period to period based on several factors, including sales volume, product mix and the impact of future potential competitive transformation initiatives.
     Third, we need to continue to expand our product portfolio and the developing and growing geographic markets that we serve in order to increase revenues and drive profitability. We believe that we must continue to identify appropriate acquisition candidates and adequately invest in product research and development and market development initiatives to succeed in these efforts.
     We are focused on acquisitions primarily to strengthen our core product portfolio and enhance our growth initiatives in fiber, wireless and enterprise markets. In addition, we are interested in pursuing acquisitions that may expand the reach of our geographic sales and enhance our global operations, particularly in developing and growing markets. Because several of our largest customers are consolidating to gain greater scale and broaden their service offerings, we also believe it is appropriate for companies in our industry to consolidate in order to gain greater scale and position themselves to offer a wider array of products. We expect to fund potential acquisitions with existing cash resources, the issuance of shares of common or preferred stock, the issuance of debt or equity linked securities or through some combination of these alternatives.
     Our internal research and development efforts are focused on those areas where we believe we are most likely to achieve success and on projects that we believe directly advance our strategic aims. Our research and development projects have varying risk and reward profiles and we consistently monitor these efforts to ensure that they appropriately balance the potential opportunities against the investments required.
     Lastly, we will continue to evaluate and monitor our existing businesses and product lines for growth and profitability potential. If we believe it to be necessary, we will deemphasize or divest product lines and businesses that we no longer believe can advance our strategy.
     A more detailed description of the risks to our business can be found in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2007 and in Part II of both our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended February 1, 2008 and this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

     Our net sales increase for the three and six months ended May 2, 2008 compared to the three and six months ended May 4, 2007 was driven by sales growth in all business units, most notably Network Solutions. International sales comprised 41.6% and 35.4% of our net sales for the three and six months ended May 2, 2008, respectively, and comprised 41.5% and 38.4% of our net sales for the three and six months ended May 4, 2007, respectively. As a result of our international sales, our net sales have benefited in recent quarters from favorable foreign exchange rates.

     Our Connectivity products net sales increased for the three and six months ended May 2, 2008, as compared to the three and six months ended May 4, 2007. These increases were primarily the result of higher sales of global fiber connectivity solutions as customers worldwide are building and deploying fiber network solutions to increase network speed and capacity. In addition, the three and six months ended May 2, 2008 included sales of $8.1 million and $9.6 million, respectively, as a result of the Century Man acquisition that closed during January 2008.
     Our Network Solutions net sales increased for the three and six months ended May 2, 2008, as compared to the three and six months ended May 4, 2007. This increase was primarily due to the acquisition of LGC, which occurred in December 2007. LGC is a provider of in-building wireless solution products. The favorable impact of LGC was partially offset by decreasing revenues in traditional HDSL products, as expected, which have experienced a general industry-wide decline in demand over the last several years. This trend is expected to continue as carriers deliver fiber and Internet Protocol services closer to end-user premises. The three and six months ended May 2, 2008 included sales of $26.7 million and $49.4 million, respectively, as a result of the LGC acquisition that closed during December 2007.
     Our Professional Services net sales increased for the three and six months ended May 2, 2008, as compared to the three and six months ended May 4, 2007. Professional Services experienced increased demand in the U.S. from a key customer, but this was mostly offset by decreases in Europe due to the restructuring of that business in fiscal 2007 that resulted in the exiting of non-profitable segments of that business.
Gross Profit
     During the three and six months ended May 2, 2008, our gross profit percentages were 35.5% and 35.7%, respectively, compared to 34.5% and 33.3%, respectively, for the comparable 2007 periods. Our future gross margin rate is difficult to predict accurately as the mix of products we sell can vary substantially.
     During the second quarter of fiscal 2008, we made a $3.5 million purchase accounting adjustment to cost of goods sold to write up the inventory related to our LGC acquisition. Excluding the impact of this purchase accounting adjustment, the improvement in gross profit was due to increases across all business units. The increase in our Connectivity segment was from a combination of cost efficiencies driven by our competitive transformation projects, strong product mix and leverage due to higher sales volume. The increase in our Network Solutions segment was primarily due to favorable margins generated by product sales from our LGC acquisition. Our Professional Services segment increase was due to improved margins in APS Germany driven by restructuring plans initiated in fiscal 2007 that resulted in the exiting of non-profitable segments of that business.
Operating Expenses
     Total operating expenses for the three and six months ended May 2, 2008 represented 27.0% and 28.6% of net sales, respectively. These amounts represented 24.7% and 26.9% of net sales for the same fiscal 2007 periods, respectively,. As discussed below, operating expenses include research and development, selling and administration expenses and restructuring charges.
     Research and development: Research and development expenses for the three and six months ended May 2, 2008 represented 5.4% and 5.6% of net sales, respectively. For the three and six months ended May 4, 2007, these expenses represented 5.1% and 5.3% of net sales, respectively. The increase in research and development costs was due to the addition of research and development costs associated with LGC. LGC invests more into research and development as a percentage of revenue than the rest of ADC. Given the rapidly changing technological and competitive environment in the communications equipment industry, continued commitment to product development efforts will be required for us to remain competitive. Accordingly, we intend to continue to allocate substantial resources, as a percentage of our net sales, to product development. Most of our research will be directed towards projects that we believe directly advance our strategic aims in segments in the marketplace that we believe are most likely to grow.
     Selling and administration: Selling and administrative expenses for the three and six months ended May 2, 2008 represented 21.3% and 22.7% of net sales, respectively. For the three and six months ended May 4, 2007, these expenses represented 19.8% and 21.6% of net sales, respectively. The increases of $16.8 million and $29.1 million for the three and six months ended May 2, 2008, respectively, compared to the same periods in fiscal 2007 were mostly due to the selling and administrative expenses of our acquired companies, LGC and Century Man. For the three and six months ended May 2, 2008, LGC represented $8.2 million and $16.2 million, respectively, of the increase and Century Man represented $2.0 million and $2.3 million, respectively of the increase. For the three and six months ended May 2, 2008, there was also an increase in share-based compensation of $0.7 million and $3.9 million,

respectively, related to certain performance based share awards granted in 2008 and previous years. There was no comparative expense recorded in fiscal 2007. There were also increases related to management incentive compensation expenses of $3.0 million and $4.0 million for the three and six months ended May 2, 2008, respectively, as compared to the same periods in prior year.

     During the first and second quarters of fiscal 2008, we recorded impairment charges of $50.2 million and $18.0 million, respectively, to reduce the carrying value of certain auction-rate securities we hold. These impairment charges, coupled with a $29.4 million charge in fiscal 2007 and sales of $23.2 million in the first quarter of 2008, reduced our carrying value from $193.0 million at October 31, 2007 to $72.2 million at May 2, 2008. We have determined that these impairment charges are other-than-temporary in nature in accordance with EITF 03-1 and FSP FAS 115-1 and 124-1, “The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments”.
     Given the current state of the credit markets, we will continue to assess the fair value of our auction-rate securities for substantive changes in relevant market conditions, changes in financial condition or other changes in these investments. We may be required to record additional unrealized losses for impairment if we determine there are further declines in fair value that are temporary or other-than-temporary.
     On January 26, 2007, we entered into an agreement with certain other holders of securities of BigBand to sell our entire interest in that entity for approximately $58.9 million in gross proceeds. Our interest in BigBand had been carried at a nominal value. A portion of our interest was held in the form of a warrant to purchase BigBand shares with an aggregate exercise price of approximately $1.8 million. On February 16, 2007, we exercised our warrant and completed the sale of our BigBand stock. This resulted in a gain of approximately $57.1 million. This gain did not have a tax provision impact due to a reduction of the valuation allowance attributable to U.S. deferred tax assets utilized to offset the gain.
Income Taxes
     For the three months ended May 2, 2008, our tax provision was $1.9 million on pretax income from continuing operations of $18.4 million, resulting in an effective income tax rate of 10.3%. For the six months ended May 2, 2008, our tax provision was $3.4 million on pretax loss from continuing operations of ($8.1) million, resulting in an effective income tax rate of (42.0%). For the three months ended May 4, 2007, our tax provision was $2.7 million on pretax income from continuing operations of $96.1 million, resulting in an effective income tax rate of 2.8%. For the six months ended May 4, 2007, our tax provision was $3.8 million on pretax income from continuing operations of $106.9 million, resulting in an effective income tax rate of 3.6%.
     During the first and second quarters of fiscal 2008, no tax benefit was recorded for the impairment charge on available-for-sale securities of $50.2 million and $18.0 million, respectively. The deferred tax asset created by the charge in both periods has been offset by a full valuation allowance. The impact of the $50.2 million and $18.0 million charge on our effective tax rate is discrete to the quarter in which the impairment was recorded and will not impact our effective tax rate in future quarters. The effective tax rate for the current three and six month periods without the impairment charge would have been 5.2% and 5.7%, respectively.

24


Table of Contents

     During the second quarter of fiscal 2007, no tax provision was recorded on the $57.1 million gain on the sale of our interest in BigBand as we recorded a reduction in the valuation allowance attributable to the deferred tax assets utilized to offset the gain. The effective tax rate reduction attributable to the gain was discrete to the second quarter of fiscal 2007. The effective tax rate without the gain for the three and six months ending May 4, 2007 would have been 6.9% and 7.6%, respectively.
     Substantially all of our income tax provision for the three and six months ended May 2, 2008 relates to foreign income taxes and deferred tax liabilities attributable to U.S. tax amortization of purchased goodwill from the acquisition of KRONE. In addition, our effective income tax rate has been reduced by changes in the valuation allowance recorded for our deferred tax assets. See Note 10 to the financial statements for a detailed description of the accounting standards related to our recording of the valuation allowance. Beginning in fiscal 2002, we discontinued recording income tax benefits in most jurisdictions where we incurred pretax losses because the deferred tax assets generated by the losses have been offset with a corresponding increase in the valuation allowance. Similarly, we have not recorded income tax expense in most jurisdictions where we have pretax income because the deferred tax assets utilized to reduce income taxes payable have been offset with a corresponding reduction in the valuation allowance.
     In fiscal 2006, we determined that our recent experience generating U.S. income, along with our projection of future U.S. income, constituted significant positive evidence for partial realization of our U.S. deferred tax assets. Therefore, we recorded a tax benefit of $49.0 million in fiscal 2006 and an additional $6.0 million in fiscal 2007 for a total of $55.0 million related to a partial release of valuation allowance on the portion of our U.S. deferred tax assets expected to be realized over the two-year period subsequent to fiscal 2007. At one or more future dates, if sufficient positive evidence exists that it is more likely than not that the benefit will be realized with respect to additional deferred tax assets, we will release additional valuation allowance. Also, if there is a reduction in the projection of future U.S. income, we may need to increase the valuation allowance.
Acquisitions
     LGC
     On December 3, 2007, we completed the acquisition of LGC, a provider of in-building wireless solution products, headquartered in San Jose, California. These products increase the quality and capacity of wireless networks by permitting voice and data signals to penetrate building structures and by distributing these signals evenly throughout the building. LGC also offers products that permit voice and data signals to reach remote locations.
     We acquired all of the outstanding capital stock and warrants of LGC for approximately $146.0 million in cash (net of cash acquired). In order to address potential indemnity claims of ADC, $15.5 million of the purchase price is held in escrow for up to 15 months following the close of the transaction.
     We acquired $58.9 million of intangible assets as part of this purchase. We recorded $2.0 million and $4.8 million of amortization expense related to these intangibles for the three and six months ended May 2, 2008, respectively. Goodwill of $82.5 million was recorded in this transaction and assigned to our Network Solutions segment. This goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes. We also assumed debt of $17.3 million associated with this acquisition and we repaid $16.2 million of that debt during the second quarter of fiscal 2008. The results of LGC, subsequent to December 3, 2007, are included in our consolidated statements of operations.
     Option holders of LGC shares were given the opportunity either to receive a cash payment for their options or exchange their options for options to acquire ADC shares. Certain LGC option holders received $9.1 million in cash payments for their options. The remaining option holders received ADC options with a fair value of $3.5 million as of the close of the acquisition. Approximately $3.0 million of the option value was added to the purchase price of LGC. Approximately $0.5 million of the option value will be recognized over the remaining vesting period.
     Century Man
     On January 10, 2008, we completed the acquisition of Century Man, a leading provider of communication distribution frame solutions, headquartered in Shenzhen, China. The acquisition is expected to accelerate our growth potential in the Chinese connectivity market, as well as provide us with additional products designed to meet the needs of customers in developing markets outside of China.
     We acquired Century Man for $53.4 million in cash (net of cash acquired). In addition, the former shareholders of Century Man may be paid up to an additional $15.0 million if during the three years following closing certain financial results are achieved by the acquired business. Of the purchase price, $7.5 million is held in escrow for up to 36 months following the close of the transaction. Of the $7.5 million, $7.0 million relates to potential indemnification claims and $0.5 million relates to the disposition of buildings.

Table of Contents

     We acquired $12.9 million of intangible assets as part of this purchase. We recorded $0.7 million and $0.8 million of amortization expense related to these intangibles for the three and six months ended May 2, 2008, respectively. Goodwill of $27.7 million was recorded in this transaction and assigned to our Global Connectivity Solutions segment. This goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes. The results of Century Man, subsequent to January 10, 2008, are included in our consolidated statements of operations.
     The purchase prices for LGC and Century Man were allocated on a preliminary basis using information currently available. The allocation of the purchase prices to the assets and liabilities acquired will be finalized no later than the first quarter of fiscal 2009, as we obtain more information regarding asset valuations, liabilities assumed and revisions of preliminary estimates of fair values made at the date of purchase.
Discontinued Operations
     G-Connect
     During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007, we approved a plan to divest G-Connect. On November 15, 2007, we completed the sale of G-Connect to Toshira Investments Limited Partnership, an Israeli company, in exchange for the assumption of certain debts of G-Connect and nominal cash consideration. G-Connect had been included in our Wireline segment (now a component of our Network Solutions segment). We classified this business as a discontinued operation in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007. We recorded a loss on the sale of the business of $0.1 million during fiscal 2007. During the first quarter of fiscal 2008, we recorded an additional loss from discontinued operations of $0.5 million due to additional expense related to finalization of the sale.
     APS France
     During the third quarter of fiscal 2006, our Board of Directors approved a plan to divest APS France. On January 12, 2007, we completed the sale of certain assets of APS France to a subsidiary of Groupe Circet, a French company, for a cash price of $0.1 million. In connection with this transaction, we compensated Groupe Circet for assuming certain facility and vehicle leases. APS France had been included in our Professional Services segment. We classified this business as a discontinued operation in the third quarter of fiscal 2006. We recorded a loss on the sale of the business of $22.6 million during fiscal 2006, which includes a provision for employee severance and $7.0 million related to the write off of a currency translation adjustment. We recorded an additional loss of $4.7 million in fiscal 2007, resulting in a total loss on sale of $27.3 million. The additional loss was due to subsequent working capital adjustments and additional expenses related to the finalization of the sale. We had $1.2 million of income from discontinued operations in the first quarter of fiscal 2008. This income was due to the release of certain earlier recorded contingencies from the expiration of the statute of limitations on such exposures. During the second quarter of fiscal 2008, we recorded an additional loss from discontinued operations of $0.2 million.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
     Liquidity
     Cash and cash equivalents not subject to restrictions were $813.3 million at May 2, 2008, an increase of $293.1 million compared to $520.2 million as of October 31, 2007. This increase is primarily due to the issuance of $450.0 million in convertible notes (described further below under the caption “Financing Activities”), partially offset by the acquisitions of LGC and Century Man (described further below under the caption “Investing Activities”).
     As of May 2, 2008 and October 31, 2007, our available-for-sale securities were:

     In early November 2007, we sold certain auction-rate securities that had not been subjected previously to auction processes with insufficient bidders at their par value of $23.2 million. Current capital market conditions have significantly reduced our ability to liquidate our remaining auction-rate securities. As of May 2, 2008, we held auction-rate securities with a fair value of $72.2 million and an original par value of $169.8 million, which are classified as long-term. During the first and second quarters of fiscal 2008, we recorded other-than-temporary impairment charges of $50.2 million and $18.0 million, respectively, to reduce the fair value of our holdings in auction-rate securities to $72.2 million. We will not be able to liquidate any of these auction-rate securities until either a future auction is successful or, in the event secondary market sales become available, we decide to sell the securities in a secondary market. A secondary market sale of any of these securities could take a significant amount of time to complete and could potentially result in a further loss. All of our auction-rate security investments have made their scheduled interest payments based on a par value of $169.8 million at May 2, 2008. In addition, the interest rates have been set to the maximum rate defined for the issuer.
     Restricted cash balances that are pledged primarily as collateral for letters of credit and lease obligations affect our liquidity. As of May 2, 2008, we had restricted cash of $13.1 million compared to $12.8 million as of October 31, 2007, an increase of $0.3 million. Restricted cash is expected to become available to us upon satisfaction of the obligations pursuant to which the letters of credit or guarantees were issued.
     During our second quarter of fiscal 2007, we received net cash of approximately $57.1 million related to the sale of our interest in BigBand. See Note 15 for more information.
     Operating Activities
     Net cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations for the six months ended May 2, 2008 was $55.4 million. This cash inflow was due to $113.2 million of non-cash adjustments to reconcile income from continuing operations to net cash provided by operating activities. This cash inflow was partially offset by a loss from continuing operations of $11.5 million, a $7.0 million increase in operating assets and a $39.3 million decrease in operating liabilities. The non-cash adjustments of $113.2 million to reconcile income from continuing operations to net cash provided by operating activities includes the $68.2 million impairment recorded on available-for-sale securities. Working capital requirements typically increase or decrease with changes in the level of net sales. In addition, the timing of certain accrued benefit payments affect the annual cash flow as these expenses are accrued throughout the fiscal year but paid during the first quarter of the subsequent year.
     Net cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations for the six months ended May 4, 2007 was $76.0 million. This cash inflow was due to $103.1 million of income from continuing operations and a $1.9 million increase in operating liabilities. These cash inflows were partially offset by $13.6 million of non-cash adjustments to reconcile income from continuing operations to net cash provided by operating activities and a $15.4 million increase in operating assets. The non-cash adjustments of $13.6 million to reconcile net income to net cash provided by operating activities include the $57.5 million gains on the sale of our positions in BigBand and Redback.
     Investing Activities
     Cash used by investing activities from continuing operations was $188.6 million for the six months ended May 2, 2008, which was due to $146.0 million for the acquisition of LGC, $53.4 million for the acquisition of Century Man, a $4.0 million investment in ip.access, Ltd., a $1.2 million investment in E-Band Communications Corporation and $20.0 million of property, equipment and patent additions. This was partially offset by $35.0 million of net sales of available-for-sale securities.
     Cash used by investing activities from continuing operations was $98.6 million for the six months ended May 4, 2007, which was largely due to net purchases of available-for-sale securities of $138.3 million, $18.3 million for property, equipment and patent additions, and $1.8 million for warrant exercises related to BigBand. These were offset by $59.8 of proceeds from the sale of investments, which included BigBand.
     Financing Activities
     Cash provided by financing activities was $421.6 million for the six months ended May 2, 2008, compared with cash provided by financing activities of $2.0 million for the six months ended May 4, 2007. The increase is due to the issuance of $450.0 million of convertible debt discussed in Note 9 to the financial statements, less payments for the financing costs associated with the issuance of this debt and payments made on LGC and Century Man debt balances.

     Unsecured Debt
     As of May 2, 2008, we had outstanding $850.0 million of convertible unsecured subordinated notes, consisting of:
                 
    May 2,     Conversion

Total convertible subordinated notes
  $ 850.0          
 
             
     See Note 9 to the financial statements for more information on these notes.
     From time to time, we may use interest rate swaps to manage interest costs and the risk associated with changing interest rates. We do not enter into interest rate swaps for speculative purposes. On April 29, 2008, we entered into an interest rate swap effective June 15, 2008, for a notional amount of $200.0 million. The secured interest rate swap hedges the exposure to changes in interest rates of our $200.0 million of convertible unsecured subordinated notes that have a variable interest rate of 6-month LIBOR plus 0.375% and a maturity date of June 15, 2013. We have designated the interest rate swap as a cash flow hedge for accounting purposes. The swap is structured so that we receive six-month LIBOR and pay a fixed rate of 4.375%. The variable portion we receive resets semiannually and both sides of the swap are settled net semiannually based on the $200.0 million notional amount. The swap matures concurrently with the end of the debt obligation.
     As of May 2, 2008, we also had other outstanding debt of $5.1 million. This is primarily debt we assumed in our acquisitions of LGC and Century Man.
     On April 3, 2008, we entered into a secured five-year revolving credit facility. The credit facility allows us to obtain loans in an aggregate amount of up to $200.0 million and provides an option to increase the credit facility by up to an additional $200.0 million under agreed conditions. The funds drawn from the credit facility will accrue interest on an annual basis at either (i) the greater of (a) the prime rate publicly announced by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and (b) the federal funds effective rate plus 0.5%, plus up to 1.0% depending on our then current total leverage ratio, or (ii) the LIBOR plus a range of 0.75% to 2.0% depending on our then current total leverage ratio.
     There are various financial and non-financial covenants that we must comply with in connection with this credit facility. The financial covenants require that during the term of the credit facility we maintain a certain pre-determined maximum total leverage ratio, a maximum senior leverage ratio, and a minimum interest coverage ratio. Compliance with the financial covenants is measured quarterly. Among other things, the non-financial covenants include restrictions on making acquisitions, investments, and capital expenditures except as permitted under the credit agreement. As of May 2, 2008, we were in compliance with our covenants under the credit agreement. We have not drawn on the credit facility to date.
     Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations
     We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements. There has been no material change in our contractual obligations not in the ordinary course of our business since the end of fiscal 2007. See our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2007, for additional information regarding our contractual obligations.
     Working Capital and Liquidity Outlook
     Our main source of liquidity continues to be our unrestricted cash resources, which include existing cash, cash equivalents and available-for-sale securities. We currently expect that our existing cash resources will be sufficient to meet our anticipated needs for working capital and capital expenditures to execute our near-term business plan. This expectation is based on current business operations and economic conditions and assumes we are able to maintain breakeven or positive cash flows from operations.
     Auction-rate securities account for most of our available-for-sale securities as of May 2, 2008. Because current capital market conditions have significantly reduced our ability to liquidate our auction-rate securities, we do not believe these investments will be liquid in the near future. However, we do not believe we need these investments to be liquid in order to meet the cash needs of our present operating plans. As of May 2, 2008, we held auction rate securities with a fair value of $72.2 million. To date, all of our auction-rate security investments have made their scheduled interest payments based on a par value of $169.8 million at May 2, 2008, although at least four of these investments have been downgraded. On all of our auction-rate securities holdings, the interest rates have been set to the maximum rate defined for the issuer.
     The fair value of the auction-rate securities we hold could change significantly in the future based on market conditions. We assess the fair value of our auction-rate securities for substantive changes in relevant market conditions, changes in financial condition or other changes in these investments. We may record additional unrealized losses for impairment if we determine there are further declines in fair value that are temporary or other-than-temporary. We may record unrealized gains if the fair value of the auction-rate securities we hold increases. Any unrealized gains will be recorded, net of tax, as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income. Our present intentions are to analyze the fair value of the investments and conclude whether they are further impaired in connection with the preparation of our quarterly financial statements and to announce any changes in fair value of these investments when we announce our quarterly earnings. This analysis will rely on brokerage statements as well as inquiries of brokers following the end of our financial quarter and management analysis.
     In early June we became aware that AMBAC and MBIA were downgraded by S&P because of declines in both their businesses as well as their financial flexibility. As of May 2, 2008 these companies were direct obligors on approximately $11.7 million of our auction-rate securities and provided insurance on approximately another $10.8 million of these investments. At this time it is not clear to us what impact the issues facing these companies will have on the fair value of our auction-rate securities holdings. It is possible, however, that we will see a further significant decline in the fair value of auction-rate securities for which these companies are either direct obligors or provide insurance.

     We also believe that our unrestricted cash resources will enable us to pursue strategic opportunities, including possible product line or business acquisitions. However, if the cost of one or more acquisition opportunities exceeds our existing cash resources, additional sources may be required. We currently have a secured five-year revolving line of credit in an aggregate amount of up to $200.0 million with an option to increase the credit facility by up to an additional $200.0 million under agreed conditions. Any plan to raise additional capital may involve an equity-based or equity-linked financing, such as another issuance of convertible debt or the issuance of common stock or preferred stock, which would be dilutive to existing shareowners. If we raise additional funds by issuing debt, we may be subject to restrictive covenants that could limit our operational flexibility and higher interest expense could dilute earnings per share.
     We have $200.0 million of fixed rate convertible notes that mature on June 15, 2008. This will be paid timely using our existing cash resources. The remaining $650.0 million of convertible notes have maturities ranging from 2013 to 2017.
     In addition, our deferred tax assets, which are substantially reserved at this time, should reduce our income tax payable on taxable earnings in future years.
Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward Looking Information
     The discussion herein, including, but not limited to, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations as well as the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, contains various “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Forward-looking statements represent our expectations or beliefs concerning future events, including but not limited to the following: any statements regarding future sales; profit percentages; earnings per share and other results of operations; expectations or beliefs regarding the marketplace in which we operate; the sufficiency of our cash balances and cash generated from operating and financing activities for our future liquidity; capital resource needs, and the effect of regulatory changes. We caution that any forward-looking statements made by us in this report or in other announcements made by us are qualified by important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. These factors include, without limitation: the demand for equipment by telecommunication service providers, from which a majority of our sales are derived; our ability to operate our business to achieve, maintain and grow operating profitability; macroeconomic factors that influence the demand for telecommunications services and the consequent demand for communications equipment; consolidation among our customers, competitors or vendors which could cause disruption in our customer relationships or displacement of us as an equipment vendor to the surviving entity in a customer consolidation; our ability to keep pace with rapid technological change in our industry; our ability to make the proper strategic choices with respect to product line acquisitions or divestitures; our ability to integrate the operations of any acquired businesses with our own operations; increased competition within our industry and increased pricing pressure from our customers; our dependence on relatively few customers for a majority of our sales as well as potential sales growth in market segments we presently feel have the greatest growth potential; fluctuations in our operating results from quarter-to-quarter, which are influenced by many factors outside of our control, including variations in demand for particular products in our portfolio that have varying profit margins; the impact of regulatory changes on our customers’ willingness to make capital expenditures for our equipment and services; financial problems, work interruptions in operations or other difficulties faced by some of our customers or vendors, which can influence future sales to these customers as well as our ability to collect amounts due us or obtain necessary materials and components; economic and regulatory conditions both in the United States and outside of the United States, as a significant portion of our sales come from non-U.S. jurisdictions; our ability to protect our intellectual property rights and defend against infringement claims made by other parties; possible limitations on our ability to raise additional capital if required, either due to unfavorable market conditions or lack of investor demand; potential adverse financial impacts resulting from declines in the fair value and liquidity of auction-rate securities we presently hold; our ability to attract and retain qualified employees in a competitive environment; potential liabilities that could arise if there are design or manufacturing defects with respect to any of our products; our ability to obtain raw materials and components and the prices of those materials and components which could be subject to volatility, and our dependence on contract manufacturers to make certain of our products; changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and equity securities prices, all of which will impact our operating results; political, economic, and legal uncertainties related to doing business in China; our ability to successfully defend or satisfactorily settle any pending litigation or litigation that may arise; fluctuations in the telecommunications market and other risks and uncertainties, including those identified in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2007. We disclaim any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
     As disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2007, our major market risk exposure relates to adverse fluctuations in certain commodity prices, interest rates, security prices and foreign currency exchange rates. We believe our exposure associated with these market risks has not changed materially since October 31, 2007.
     On April 29, 2008, we entered into a secured interest rate swap effective June 15, 2008, for a notional amount of $200.0 million. The interest rate swap hedges the exposure to changes in interest rates of our $200.0 million of convertible unsecured subordinated notes that have a variable interest rate and a maturity date of June 15, 2013. We have designated the interest rate swap as a cash flow hedge for accounting purposes. The swap is structured so that we receive six-month LIBOR and pay a fixed rate of 4.375%. The variable portion we receive resets semiannually and both sides of the swap are settled net semiannually based on the $200.0 million notional. The swap matures concurrently with the end of the debt obligation.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
     Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
     During the second quarter of fiscal 2008, there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
     We are a party to various lawsuits, proceedings and claims arising in the ordinary course of business or otherwise. Many of these disputes may be resolved without formal litigation. The amount of monetary liability resulting from the ultimate resolution of these matters cannot be determined at this time. As of May 2, 2008, we had recorded approximately $8.1 million in loss reserves for certain of these matters. In light of the reserves we have recorded, at this time we believe the ultimate resolution of these lawsuits, proceedings and claims will not have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations or financial condition. Because of the uncertainty inherent in litigation, however, it is possible that unfavorable resolutions of one or more of these lawsuits, proceedings and claims could exceed the amount currently reserved and could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
     The discussion of our business and operations should be read together with the risk factors contained in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2006 filed with the SEC, which describe various risks and uncertainties to which we are or may become subject. These risks and uncertainties have the potential to affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, strategies or prospects in a material and adverse manner.
ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
     None.
ITEM 3. DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES
     None.
