1. Basis of Presentation

Our interim financial periods are based on a thirteen-week internal accounting calendar. In our opinion, the accompanying balance sheets, interim statements of operations and statements of cash flows include all adjustments, consisting mainly of normal recurring items, necessary for their fair presentation in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Intermec and our subsidiaries. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. Preparing our financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses, and financial data included in the accompanying notes to the financial statements. Actual results and outcomes may differ from our estimates and assumptions.

The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 27, 2009, include a write-down of receivables, other than trade, which we have determined were overstated in the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007. The effect of the correction of these errors resulted in an aggregate decrease of $1.3 million to pretax earnings and $0.8 million to net earnings for the three months ended September 27, 2009, and a decrease of $1.1 million to pretax loss and $0.7 million to net loss for the nine months ended September 27, 2009. We have deemed these amounts to be immaterial when considered in relation to the estimated full fiscal year results of operation and the trend of operating results.

Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. The information included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year-ended December 31, 2008 (the “Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008”).

We have evaluated subsequent events through the date the consolidated financial statements were issued on October 29, 2009.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In October 2009, an update was made by Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) to software revenue recognition. According to this update, tangible products containing software components and non-software components that function together to deliver the tangible product’s essential functionality are no longer within the scope of the software revenue guidance. This standard requires that hardware components of a tangible product containing software components always be excluded from the software revenue guidance. It provides additional guidance on how to determine which software, if any, relating to the tangible product also would be excluded from the scope of the software revenue guidance. This standard will be effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted. This standard shall be adopted in the same period using the same transition method as indicated in the update to revenue arrangements with multiple deliverables. We are currently assessing the potential impact that adoption of this standard may have on our consolidated financial statements.

In October 2009, an update was made by FASB to revenue arrangements with multiple deliverables. It provides amendments to the criteria for separating consideration in multiple-deliverable arrangements. This standard establishes a selling price hierarchy for determining the selling price of a deliverable. The selling price used for each deliverable will be based on vendor-specific objective evidence if available, third-party evidence if vendor-specific objective evidence is not available, or estimated selling price if neither vendor-specific objective evidence nor third-party evidence is available. This standard also replaces the term fair value in the revenue allocation guidance with selling price to clarify that the allocation of revenue is based on entity-specific assumptions rather than assumptions of a market participant. It also eliminates the residual method of allocation and requires that arrangement consideration be allocated at the inception of the arrangements to all deliverables using the relative selling price method. This standard will be effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently assessing the potential impact that adoption of this standard may have on our consolidated financial statements.

In December 2008, the FASB issued guidance related to employers’ disclosures about postretirement benefit plan assets. It provides guidance on an employer’s disclosures about plan assets, including: how investment allocation decisions are made and factors that are pertinent to an understanding of investment policies and strategies; the major categories of plan assets; the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure the fair value of plan assets; the effect of fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (level 3) on changes in plan assets for the period, and significant concentrations of risks within plan assets. This standard is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2009. We are currently assessing the disclosure requirements that adoption of this standard may have on the footnotes of our consolidated financial statements.

Reclassification

Certain amounts within the 2008 condensed consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2009 presentation.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

Effective January 1, 2009, all other nonfinancial assets and liabilities measured at fair values in the financial statements on a nonrecurring basis are subject to fair value measurements and disclosures. Nonfinancial nonrecurring assets and liabilities included on our condensed consolidated balance sheets include long-lived assets that are measured at fair value to test for and measure impairment, when necessary. No such nonfinancial assets or liabilities were subject to fair value measurements for the quarter ended September 27, 2009.

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

3. Derivative Instruments

Effective January 1, 2009, we adopted the disclosure requirements for our derivative instruments and hedging activities. Due to our global operations, we are exposed to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations in the normal course of our businesses. Our treasury policies allow us to offset the risks associated with the effects of certain foreign currency exposures through the purchase of foreign exchange forward contracts. Our policy prohibits speculation in financial instruments for profit on the exchange rate price fluctuation. We enter into foreign exchange forward contracts primarily to hedge the impact of fluctuations of foreign exchange arising from intercompany transactions, including inventory purchases made by our subsidiaries that are denominated in U.S. dollars. Our foreign exchange forward contracts are not designated as hedging instruments; accordingly, we record these contracts at fair value on the condensed consolidated balance sheets, with changes in fair value recognized in earnings in the period of change. As of September 27, 2009, the aggregate notional amounts of the forward contracts we held for foreign currencies were $144.0 million. These contracts do not contain any credit-risk-related contingent features.

We attempt to manage the counterparty risk associated with these foreign exchange forward contracts by limiting transactions to counterparties with which we have an established banking relationship. In addition, these contracts generally settle in approximately 30 days. See Note 2, Fair Value Measurements, for information on the fair value of these contracts.

The net loss from our foreign exchange forward contracts was recorded in selling, general and administrative expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The net loss was $0.6 and $0.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 27, 2009, respectively.

4. Inventories

Inventories were comprised of the following (in thousands):

	September 27, 2009		December 31, 2008
Raw materials	$	50,874	$	45,908
Service parts		6,768		8,772
Work in process		139		269
Finished goods		32,158		62,000
Inventories	$	89,939	$	116,949

In addition to the inventories described above, service parts inventories totaling $4.1 and $4.0 million that were not expected to be sold within the next 12 months are classified as other assets as of September 27, 2009, and December 31, 2008, respectively.

5. Provision for Income Taxes

The tax expense for the three and nine months ended September 27, 2009, reflects an actual effective tax rate of 35.4% and 36.4%, respectively, compared to a U.S. statutory rate of 35.0%. Our forecasted annual effective tax rate cannot be reasonably expressed as a percentage of operating income because we expect approximately breakeven results, excluding restructuring charges.

The tax expense for the three and nine months ended September 28, 2008, reflects an effective tax rate for continuing operations of 34.5% and 35.3%, respectively, compared to a U.S. statutory rate of 35.0%. In the third quarter of 2008, we recorded tax benefits which decreased our third quarter effective tax rate 1.7% as a result of a foreign tax refund and adjustments pertaining to our 2007 tax returns filed that quarter. These rates reflect our recurring estimated effective tax rate of approximately 37.0% for fiscal year 2008, which excludes the impact of discrete items.

6. Shares Used in Computing Earnings (Loss) per Share

Basic earnings (loss) per share is calculated using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and issuable for the applicable period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed using basic weighted average shares plus the dilutive effect of unvested restricted stock and outstanding stock options using the “treasury stock” method.

	Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended
	September 27, 2009		September 28, 2008		September 27, 2009		September 28, 2008
Weighted average shares - basic		61,713,709		61,238,149		61,593,258		61,120,946
Dilutive effect of unvested restricted shares and stock options		348,314		406,345		-		477,565
Weighted average shares - diluted		62,062,023		61,644,494		61,593,258		61,598,511

Our employees and directors held options to purchase 2,415,112 and 2,759,077 shares of our common stock for the three and nine months ended September 27, 2009, respectively, and 2,484,295 and 2,059,248 shares of our common stock for the three and nine months ended September 28, 2008, respectively, that were not included in weighted average shares diluted calculation because they were anti-dilutive to the diluted earnings (loss) per share computation. These options would become dilutive in future periods if the average market price of our common stock exceeds the exercise price of the outstanding options and we report net earnings.

There were no options granted to our directors in the three months ended September 27, 2009. For the nine months ended September 27, 2009, we granted 85,560 options to our directors with a fair value of $5.48 per option, which will vest quarterly over one year from the date of grant.

The accounting policies of our two reportable segments are the same as those used to prepare our condensed consolidated financial statements. Performance and resource allocations are primarily measured by sales and gross profit. All other earnings, costs and expenses are aggregated and reported on a consolidated basis.

One distributor, ScanSource Inc., accounted for more than 10% of our revenues. Total sales to this distributor were $35.2 and $83.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 27, 2009, respectively, and $31.0 and $80.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 28, 2008, respectively.

Our business restructuring plan in April 2009 (see Note 11, Restructuring Charges) resulted in a reduction of our workforce and the curtailment of pension benefits to the terminated employees who were participants in the U.S. pension plans. The curtailment required a new measurement of the liability to determine the gain or loss on curtailment. Accordingly, the measurement resulted in a decrease in pension liability and a decrease in losses as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income of $36.9 million in the second quarter of 2009. We recorded a curtailment gain of $0.5 million in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the nine months ended September 27, 2009.

During the three months ended September 27, 2009, we contributed approximately $2.9 million to our pension and other postretirement benefit plans, comprising $1.8 million in benefits paid pertaining to funded and unfunded U.S. defined benefit plans, $0.6 million in matching contributions to our 401(k) plan, and $0.5 million in contributions to our foreign pension plans.

During the nine months ended September 27, 2009, we contributed approximately $9.0 million to our pension and other postretirement benefit plans, comprising $5.5 million in benefits paid pertaining to funded and unfunded U.S. defined benefit plans, $2.0 million in matching contributions to our 401(k) plan, and $1.5 million in contributions to our foreign pension plans. Benefits paid pertaining to our other postretirement benefit plans were not material for the three and nine month periods ended September 27, 2009. We expect to contribute an additional $3.6 million to these plans during the fourth quarter of 2009, of which $1.8 million relates to benefit payments on our funded and unfunded U.S. defined benefit plans, $0.7 million in matching contributions to our 401(k) plan, $1.0 million in contributions to our foreign pension plans and $0.1 million in benefit payments pertaining to our other postretirement benefit plans.

11. Restructuring Charges

2009 Restructuring Charges:

In January 2009, we committed to a business restructuring plan intended to reorganize our sales function and to reduce our operating cost structure and improve efficiency. The total restructuring costs for this plan are expected to be approximately $10.4 million, including employee termination costs of approximately $9.0 million, and $1.4 million of other transitional costs. We recorded most of the restructuring charge in the first three quarters of 2009, and the remainder will be recorded through the first quarter of 2010. We anticipate that substantially all of the severance related and periodic transitional costs will be cash expenditures.

In April 2009, we committed to a business restructuring plan primarily consisting of a reduction of our work force. The total restructuring costs for this plan are expected to be in a pre-tax range of $11.0 to $13.0 million, including employee termination costs of $10.0 to $11.0 million, and $1.0 to $2.0 million of other transitional costs. We recorded most of the restructuring charges in the second and third quarters of 2009, and expect to record the remainder through the first quarter of 2010. We anticipate that substantially all of the severance related and periodic transitional costs will be cash expenditures.

The following table displays the restructuring charges incurred by business segment (in millions) for three and nine months ended September 27, 2009:

			Restructuring charges recorded for

2008 Restructuring Charges:

In July 2008, we committed to a business restructuring plan intended to reduce our cost structure and streamline operations. Pursuant to this plan, we relocated the final assembly of our product lines from Everett, Washington, to Venture Corporation Limited, a global electronics services provider. As part of the plan, we also consolidated two U.S. service depots into existing locations in Charlotte, North Carolina and Monterey, Mexico and transferred our on-site field service repair to a third party supplier.

We commenced implementation of the plan in the third quarter of 2008, and it was fully implemented in the second quarter of 2009. All severance and other periodic transitional costs were cash expenditures. All restructuring costs related to this action were accrued in 2008.

The total restructuring charges incurred for 2008 restructuring plan were $5.7 million, with $3.8 million allocated to Product, $1.2 million allocated to Service and $0.7 million unallocated. The restructuring charges recorded for Product and Service were $1.5 and $1.2 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 28, 2008. The unallocated restructuring charges were $0.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 28, 2008.

The reconciliation of accrued restructuring charges as of September 28, 2008, is summarized in the table below (in millions):

Overview

Intermec, Inc. (“Intermec”, “us”, “we”, “our”) designs, develops, integrates, sells, resells and services wired and wireless automated identification and data collection (“AIDC”) products and provides related services. Our products include mobile computing products (which include mobile hand-held computers, bar code scanners and radio frequency identification (“RFID”) products), wired and wireless bar code printers and label media products. These products and services allow customers to identify, track and manage their assets and other resources in ways that improve the efficiency and effectiveness of their business operations. Our products are designed to withstand mobile use and rugged warehouse and field conditions.

Our products are sold globally for field mobility applications such as asset visibility and management, direct store delivery, maintenance and repair, in-transit visibility, routing and navigation, and telematics. Our products are also sold globally for in-premise applications such as asset visibility, freight yard operations, inventory management, warehouse operations, and work-in-process management.

The key elements of our strategy are to target high growth opportunities in selected application markets; focus on developing and selling differentiated new products and services; emphasize channel fulfillment; pursue geographic expansion opportunities; and continue the transformation of our supply chain and our other efficiency initiatives.

Our financial reporting currency is the U.S. Dollar, and changes in exchange rates can significantly affect our financial trends and reported results. Our consolidated revenues and operating expenses are vulnerable to the fluctuations of exchange rates; however, our cost of revenues is primarily denominated in U.S. dollars, and therefore, is less affected by changes in exchange rates. If the U.S. Dollar weakens year-over-year relative to currencies in our international locations, our consolidated revenues and operating expenses will be higher than if currencies had remained constant. If the U.S. Dollar strengthens year-over-year relative to currencies in our international locations, our consolidated revenues and operating expenses will be lower than if currencies had remained constant. We believe it is important to evaluate our operating results and growth rates before and after the effect of currency changes.

Revenues

Revenues by category and geographic region and as a percentage of total revenues for the three and nine months ended September 27, 2009, and September 28, 2008, as well as the same three and nine months revenue changes were as follows (in millions):

	Three Months Ended

Total revenues	$	158.8		100.0	%	$	234.4		100.0	%	$	(75.6	)		(32.3)	%

The decrease in quarterly revenue was attributable to a $69.9 million decrease in product revenue and a $5.7 million decrease in service revenue. The decrease in product revenue was primarily driven by reduced product volumes and pricing pressure due to the economic and competitive environment.

The decrease in quarterly service revenues of $5.7 million, or 14.7%, was primarily due to a decline of service revenues from our North America and EMEA regions. The decline in service revenues in North America was due primarily to customers' decisions to defer spending.

Geographically, revenues in North America and EMEA decreased over the corresponding prior-year period. The changes in foreign currency conversion rates unfavorably impacted EMEA revenue by $4.1 million, or 5 percentage points, as compared to the prior-year period. Third quarter 2008 revenue included a European enterprise postal deployment which represented approximately 21 percentage points of the decline in EMEA revenue. Across all regions, the unfavorable impact of foreign currency rates on total revenue was $6.2 million, or 3 percentage points, as compared to the prior-year period.

The decrease in revenue for the nine months ended September 27, 2009 was primarily due to a $177.9 million, or 32.0%, decrease in product revenues. The decrease in product revenue was primarily driven by reduced product volumes and pricing pressure due to the economic and competitive environment.

The decrease in nine-month service revenues of $12.4 million, or 10.9%, was primarily attributable to a decrease of service revenues from North America and EMEA regions. The decline in service revenues in North America was due primarily to customers' decisions to defer spending.

Geographically, revenues in North America and EMEA decreased over the corresponding prior-year period. The changes in foreign currency conversion rates unfavorably impacted EMEA revenue by $20.8 million, or 9 percentage points, as compared to the prior-year period. Across all regions, the unfavorable impact of foreign currency rates on total revenue was $31.1 million, or 5 percentage points, as compared to the prior-year period.

Gross Profit

Gross profit and gross margin by revenue category for the three and nine months ended September 27, 2009, and September 28, 2008, were as follows (in millions):

	Three Months Ended										Nine Months Ended
	September 27, 2009					September 28, 2008					September 27, 2009					September 28, 2008

The total gross profit for the three and nine months ended September 27, 2009, decreased by $30.5 million and $90.5 million, respectively, compared to the corresponding prior-year periods. The decrease in total gross profit was primarily due to a $29.3 million, and an $84.8 million decrease in product gross profit for the three and nine months ended September 27, 2009, respectively, compared to the corresponding prior-year periods. The decrease in product gross profit was primarily due to competitive pricing in the current economic environment, reduced product volumes, less favorable product and geographic related mix and the impact of currency translation.

Product gross margin decreased 1.7% and 4.1% for the three and nine months ended September 27, 2009, respectively, compared to the corresponding prior-year periods. The decrease in product gross margin was attributable to the competitive and economic environment, reduced product volumes, product and geographical mix and the impact of currency translation.

The increase in service gross margin from the corresponding prior year periods was mainly attributable to the reduced service costs from our cost reduction programs implemented in the third quarter of 2008, and ongoing cost containment.

The decrease in R&D expenses was mainly driven by the labor-related savings of approximately $1.7 and $3.6 million from our restructuring activities and cost saving programs for the three and nine months ended September 27, 2009, respectively. The quarterly and year-to-date R&D expenses accounted for 8.9% and 9.5% of revenues in 2009, compared to 6.7% and 7.6% of revenues from the corresponding prior-year periods. The total amount spent in R&D activities decreased in 2009, while the percentage of R&D expenses over total revenues increased in 2009, reflecting our continued commitment to and focus on product development and release.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

The total selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses were $44.5 and $140.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 27, 2009, respectively, compared to SG&A expenses of $56.6 and $173.4 million for the corresponding prior-year periods. The decrease in quarterly SG&A expenses of $12.1 million was primarily attributable to the labor-related savings of $2.8 million from restructuring activities, a decrease of sales commission and bonus expenses of $2.6 million due to lower headcount and lower sales revenues, and the favorable changes of conversion of foreign denominated costs of $1.9 million. The reduction in year-to-date SG&A expenses of $33.2 million was primarily due to the labor-related savings of $5.2 million from restructuring activities, a decrease of commission and bonus expenses of $5.4 million from lower headcount and lower sales revenues in 2009, and the favorable changes of conversion of foreign denominated costs for $9.1 million. The remaining decrease of quarterly and year-to-date SG&A expenses was due to various cost saving programs implemented in 2009.

Restructuring Charges

The changes in restructuring charges of $(0.6) million and $15.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 27, 2009, respectively, compared to the corresponding prior-year periods was mainly due to the following restructuring activities:

2009 Restructuring Plans

In January 2009, we committed to a business restructuring plan intended to reorganize our sales function and to reduce our operating cost structure and improve efficiency. The total restructuring costs for this plan are expected to be approximately $10.4 million, including employee termination costs of approximately $9.0 million, and $1.4 million of other transitional costs. We recorded $9.1 million of the restructuring charge in the first three quarters of 2009, and the remainder will be recorded through the first quarter of 2010. We anticipate that substantially all of the severance related and periodic transitional costs will be cash expenditures. We expect to achieve an annual labor-related savings of $14.0 to $16.0 million upon completion of this restructuring plan.

In April 2009, we committed to a business restructuring plan primarily consisting of a reduction of our work force. The total restructuring costs for this plan are expected to be in a pre-tax range of $11.0 to $13.0 million, including employee termination costs of $10.0 to $11.0 million, and $1.0 to $2.0 million of other transitional costs. We recorded $9.5 million of the restructuring charge in the second and third quarters of 2009, and expect to record the remainder through the first quarter of 2010. We anticipate that substantially all of the severance related and periodic transitional costs will be cash expenditures. We expect to achieve an annual labor-related savings of $17.0 to $19.0 million upon completion of this restructuring plan.

2008 Restructuring Plan

In July 2008, we committed to a business restructuring plan intended to reduce our cost structure and streamline operations. We commenced implementation of the plan in the third quarter of 2008, and it was fully implemented in the second quarter of 2009. All severance and other periodic transitional costs were cash expenditures. We recorded $3.3 million of the restructuring charge in the third quarter of 2008. All restructuring costs related to this action were accrued in 2008.

We believe these actions were appropriate strategically and were prudent in light of the generally weakened global economy and uncertain market conditions.

Flood related charges

In June 2008, our Cedar Rapids, Iowa, facilities were flooded and we incurred damages to both a facility that we own and one that we lease. These damages were covered by insurance to the extent reasonable. While the flood caused significant damage, we were able to redirect the work done by our Cedar Rapids groups to temporary locations, and therefore the flood did not have a significant impact on our business. During the three and nine months ended September 28, 2008, we had $5.1 million in clean up costs and property damages that were offset by $4.0 of insurance proceeds for a net charge of $1.1 million.

Interest, Net

Net interest income was $0.1 and $0.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 27, 2009, respectively, compared to net interest income of $0.7 and $1.4 million for the corresponding prior-year periods. The decrease in net interest income was mainly due to lower average interest rates compared to the prior-year periods.

Income tax expense (benefit) (in millions)

	Three Months Ended								Nine Months Ended
	September 27, 2009		September 28, 2008		Change from prior year				September 27, 2009			September 28, 2008		Change from prior year
Income tax expense (benefit)	$	0.0	$	5.8		$	(5.8	)	$	(9.7	)	$	14.4	$	(24.1	)

The tax expense for the three and nine months ended September 27, 2009, reflects an effective tax rate of 35.4% and 36.4%, respectively, compared to a U.S. statutory rate of 35.0%. Our forecasted annual effective tax rate can not be reasonably expressed as a percentage of operating income because we expect approximately breakeven results, excluding restructuring charges.

The tax expense for the three and nine months ended September 28, 2008, reflects an effective tax rate for continuing operations of 34.5% and 35.3%, respectively, compared to a U.S. statutory rate of 35.0%. In the third quarter of 2008, we recorded tax benefits which decreased our third quarter effective tax rate of 1.7% as a result of a foreign tax refund and adjustments pertaining to our 2007 tax returns filed in the third quarter of 2008. These rates reflect our recurring estimated effective tax rate of approximately 37.0% for fiscal year 2008, which excludes the impact of discrete items.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our principal sources of liquidity are cash flows generated from operations and our cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments balances, which, at fair value, were $238.8 and $221.5 million at September 27, 2009, and December 31, 2008, respectively. Operating activities for the nine months ended September 27, 2009, provided lower cash flows compared to the same period of 2008 due to a net loss of $16.9 million and cash payment of approximately $12.5 million for restructuring activities, offset by significant improvement in working capital, in particular for inventory in 2009. Cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 27, 2009, was $45.1 million. This was related to purchase of short-term investments of $35.6 million, capital expenditures of $7.6 million and capitalized patent legal fees of $3.7 million, offset by proceeds from sale of property of $1.9 million. Cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 27, 2009 was $1.0 million, related primarily to the issuance of stock under our Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

Under our 2007 Revolving Credit Facility (“Revolving Facility”), we have a maximum amount available of $50.0 million. As of September 27, 2009, net of outstanding letters of credit and limitations on minimum availability, we had borrowing capacity of $48.5 million under the Revolving Facility. We made no borrowings under the Revolving Facility during the three and nine months ended September 27, 2009, and as of September 27, 2009, no borrowings were outstanding. As of September 27, 2009, we were in compliance with the financial covenants of the Revolving Facility.

There have been no changes to key terms of the Revolving Facility as previously disclosed in our Annual Report of Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.

We believe that cash and cash equivalents combined with projected cash flows from operations, will provide adequate funding to meet our expected working capital, restructuring cost requirements, capital expenditure and pension contribution for the next twelve months. In the current economic environment, we may hold more cash than what is required to fund our future investment in working capital and capital expenditures and to implement changes in cost structure. Projected cash flows from operations are largely based on our revenue estimates, cost estimates, and the related timing of cash receipts and cash disbursements. If actual performance differs from estimated performance, cash flows from operations could be positively or negatively impacted. An additional source of liquidity includes our Revolving Facility.

Contractual Obligations

Our contractual commitments as of September 27, 2009, have not changed materially from those disclosed in Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“US GAAP”). The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Actual amounts could differ from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Our critical accounting policies and estimates are discussed in Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008. There have been no material changes to the critical accounting policies and estimates previously disclosed in that report.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Due to our global operations, our cash flows and earnings are exposed to risk based on movements in foreign exchange rates. We conduct business in approximately 90 countries throughout the world and generally invoice customers in their local currency and have a resulting foreign currency denominated revenue transaction and accounts receivable balance. We also purchase certain raw materials and other items in foreign currencies.

Our treasury policies allow us to offset the risks associated with the effects of certain foreign currency exposures through the purchase of foreign exchange forward contracts. Our policy prohibits speculation in financial instruments for profit on the exchange rate price fluctuation. We enter into foreign exchange forward contracts primarily to hedge the impact of fluctuations of foreign exchange arising from intercompany transactions, including inventory purchases made by our subsidiaries that are denominated in U.S. dollars. Our foreign exchange forward contracts are not designated as hedging instruments. Accordingly, we record these contracts at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets, with changes in fair value recognized in earnings in the period of change. These contracts do not contain any credit-risk-related contingent features.

We attempt to manage the counterparty risk associated with these foreign exchange forward contracts by limiting transactions to counterparties with which we have an established banking relationship. In addition, these contracts generally settle in approximately 30 days. See Note 2, Fair Value Measurements, and Note 3, Derivative Instruments, of the notes to our financial statements for additional information related to these contracts.

Except as noted in the preceding paragraph, as of September 27, 2009, there have been no material changes in information provided in Item 7A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008, which contains a complete discussion of our material exposures to interest rate and foreign exchange rate risks.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures, which are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer, or CEO, and Chief Financial Officer, or CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the CEO and CFO, an evaluation was performed on the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. Based on that evaluation, management, including the CEO and CFO, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 27, 2009.

An evaluation was also performed under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the CEO and CFO, of any change in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the last fiscal quarter and that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting. That evaluation did not identify any change in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the latest fiscal quarter and that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We currently, and from time to time, are subject to claims and lawsuits arising in the ordinary course of business. Such claims and lawsuits may take the form of counter claims in lawsuits we bring to enforce our rights. The ultimate resolution of currently pending proceedings is not expected to have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

You are encouraged to review the discussion of Forward Looking Statements and Risk Factors appearing in this report at Part I, “Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”

In addition to the other information set forth in this Report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008, and the factors discussed in Part II, Item A, "Risk Factors" in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 29, 2009 (the "First Quarter Form 10-Q"), which could materially affect our business, financial condition or operating results. The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008, and in the First Quarter Form 10-Q are not the only risks facing our Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or operating results.

The risk factor included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 under the caption “Venture’s use of third-party suppliers could adversely affect our product quality, delivery schedules or customer satisfaction, any of which could have an adverse effect on our financial results” is restated in its entirety as follows:

Use of third-party suppliers and service providers could adversely affect our product quality, delivery schedules or customer satisfaction, any of which could have an adverse effect on our financial results. Third-party suppliers that we approve will be providing the components that Venture or other of our contract manufacturers will use in the final assembly of our products. Some of these components may be available only from a single source or limited sources, and if they become unavailable for any reason, we or our contract manufacturers may be unable to obtain alternative sources of supply on a timely basis. We also outsource a number of services to U.S. and non-U.S. third party service providers, including transportation and logistics management of spare parts. Our products and services may be adversely affected by the quality control of these third-party suppliers and service providers, or by their inability to ship product, manage our product inventory, or meet delivery deadlines. Failure of these third-party suppliers and service providers in any of these respects may negatively affect our revenue and customer relationships. Furthermore, these suppliers and service providers may have access to our intellectual property, which may increase the risk of infringement or misappropriation.
