NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – UNAUDITED

NOTE 1. OVERVIEW AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

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

The Company has a 52-53 week fiscal year, ending on the Friday nearest to December 31, which for fiscal 2008 was January 2, 2009. The third quarters of fiscal 2009 and fiscal 2008 ended on October 2, 2009 and September 26, 2008, respectively. Fiscal 2009 is a 52-week year and fiscal 2008 was a 53-week year. Unless otherwise stated, all dates refer to the Company’s fiscal year and fiscal periods.

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the results of the Company and its majority-owned subsidiaries. Inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Noncontrolling interests represent the minority shareholders’ proportionate share of the net assets and results of operations of the Company’s majority-owned subsidiaries.

The accompanying financial data as of October 2, 2009 and for the three and nine months ended October 2, 2009 and September 26, 2008 has been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements, prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S., have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of January 2, 2009 is derived from the audited Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K of Trimble Navigation Limited for fiscal year 2008. Certain amounts from prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Company’s 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

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

In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to present a fair statement of financial position as of October 2, 2009, results of operations for the three and nine months ended October 2, 2009 and September 26, 2008 and cash flows for the nine months ended October 2, 2009 and September 26, 2008, as applicable, have been made. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended October 2, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full fiscal year or any future periods. Individual segment revenue may be affected by seasonal buying patterns and general economic conditions. The Company has evaluated all subsequent events through November 6, 2009, which is the date that these financial statements have been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). No material subsequent events have occurred since October 2, 2009 that required recognition or disclosure in these financial statements.

NOTE 2. UPDATES TO SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

There have been no changes to the Company’s significant accounting polices during the nine months ended October 2, 2009 from those disclosed in the Company’s 2008 Form 10-K.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Updates to recent accounting standards as disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 2, 2009 are as follows:

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued accounting guidance on fair value measurements. This standard, which is now codified under the Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, clarifies the definition of fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value within GAAP, and expands the disclosures regarding fair value measurements. In February 2008, the FASB deferred the effective date of the guidance to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008 and interim periods within those fiscal years for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a nonrecurring basis. The Company adopted the fair value measurement guidance in its first quarter of fiscal 2008, except for those items specifically deferred by the FASB, which were adopted in the first quarter of fiscal 2009. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

In December 2007, the FASB issued revised accounting guidance on business combinations. This revised standard, now codified under the Business Combination Topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree, and recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase. The guidance also sets forth the disclosures required to be made in the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. The guidance applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Accordingly, the Company adopted this guidance in its first quarter of fiscal 2009. The Company expects the implementation of the new guidance to have an impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows, but the nature and magnitude of the specific effects will depend largely upon the nature and size of the Company’s business combinations. The adoption of the guidance did not have a material impact in the first nine months of fiscal 2009.

Table of Contents

In December 2007, the FASB issued guidance related to the accounting for noncontrolling interests in consolidated financial statements. The guidance, now codified under the Consolidation Topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, changed the accounting and reporting for minority interests, which were re-characterized as noncontrolling interests and classified as a component of equity. This new consolidation method significantly changed the accounting for transactions with minority interest holders. The guidance required retroactive adoption of the presentation and disclosure requirements for previously existing minority interests. All other requirements of the guidance are applied prospectively. The Company adopted this new accounting guidance in the first quarter of fiscal 2009. The adoption of the guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

In March 2008, the FASB issued accounting guidance on disclosures about derivative instruments and hedging activities. The new accounting guidance, now codified under the Derivatives and Hedging Topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, requires enhanced disclosures about (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. The Company adopted this new accounting guidance in the first quarter of fiscal 2009. The adoption of the guidance did not have an impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

In May 2009, the FASB issued accounting guidance on subsequent events. The standard, now codified under the Subsequent Events Topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, became effective for and was adopted by the Company during the second quarter of fiscal 2009. The guidance establishes the accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. Specifically, it sets forth the period after the balance sheet date during which management of a reporting entity should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements, the circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements, and the disclosures that an entity should make about events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date. The guidance is effective for interim or annual financial periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of the guidance did not have an impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows, other than the disclosures required by the guidance.

In June 2009, the FASB issued accounting guidance which changes the consolidation guidance applicable to a variable interest entity (“VIE”). The guidance, now codified under the Consolidation Topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, also amends the guidance governing the determination of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a VIE, and is, therefore, required to consolidate an entity, by requiring a qualitative analysis rather than a quantitative analysis. The qualitative analysis will include, among other things, consideration of who has the power to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and who has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. This guidance also requires continuous reassessments of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a VIE. Previously, GAAP required reconsideration of whether an enterprise was the primary beneficiary of a VIE only when specific events had occurred. The Company is required to adopt this guidance beginning in fiscal 2010. The Company is evaluating the impact of the adoption of the guidance on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

In June 2009, the FASB issued guidance which establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (the “Codification”) as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by non-governmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative U.S. GAAP for SEC registrants. The Codification is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The Codification supersedes all accounting standards in U.S. GAAP, aside from those issued by the SEC. The Company adopted this guidance in the third quarter of fiscal 2009. The adoption did not have an impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

In October 2009, the FASB issued revised guidance on multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements which requires entities to allocate revenue in an arrangement, using estimated selling prices of the delivered goods and services based on a selling price hierarchy, and eliminates the residual method of revenue allocation. It also requires revenue to be allocated using the relative selling price method. The FASB also issued accounting guidance on the applicability of software revenue accounting for certain arrangements that include software elements, which remove tangible products from the scope of software revenue guidance and provides guidance on determining whether software deliverables in an arrangement that includes a tangible product are covered by the scope of the software revenue guidance. The guidance on both of these topics, which are now codified under the Revenue Recognition Topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, should be applied on a prospective basis for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the expected impact of the new revenue guidance on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows, and when it will adopt the revised guidance.

NOTE 3. SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Stock Repurchase Activities

In January 2008, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program (“2008 Stock Repurchase Program”), authorizing the Company to repurchase up to $250 million of Trimble’s common stock under this program. During the nine months ended September 26, 2008, the Company repurchased approximately 3,707,000 shares of common stock in open market purchases at an average price of $31.23 per share, for a total of $115.9 million. No shares of common stock were repurchased during the nine months ended October 2, 2009. In total, under the program, the Company has repurchased approximately 4,243,000 shares of common stock in open market purchases at an average price of $29.67 per share, for a total of $125.9 million. The purchase price was reflected as a decrease to common stock based on the average stated value per share with the remainder to retained earnings. Common stock repurchases under the program were recorded based upon the trade date for accounting purposes. All common shares repurchased under this program have been retired. As of October 2, 2009, the 2008 Stock Repurchase Program had remaining authorized funds of $124.1 million. The timing and actual number of future shares repurchased will depend on a variety of factors including price, regulatory requirements, capital availability, and other market conditions. The program does not require the purchase of any minimum number of shares and may be suspended or discontinued at any time without public notice.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for its employee stock options and rights to purchase shares under its stock participation plans under the fair value method, which requires stock-based compensation to be estimated using the fair value on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. The value of the portion of the award that is expected to vest is recognized as expense over the related employees’ requisite service periods in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

The following table summarizes stock-based compensation expense, net of tax, related to employee stock-based compensation included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for the three and nine months ended October 2, 2009 and September 26, 2008.

(1) Tax benefit related to U.S. non-qualified options and restricted stock units, applying a Federal statutory and State (Federal effected) tax rate for the respective periods.

Options

Stock option expense recognized during the period is based on the value of the portion of the stock option that is expected to vest during the period. The fair value of each stock option is estimated on the date of grant using a binomial valuation model. The Black-Scholes model was used to value those options granted prior to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005. Similar to the Black-Scholes model, the binomial model takes into account variables such as volatility, dividend yield rate, and risk free interest rate. For options granted during the three and nine months ended October 2, 2009 and September 26, 2008, the following weighted average assumptions were used:

Credit Facilities

On July 28, 2005, the Company entered into a $200 million unsecured revolving credit agreement (the 2005 Credit Facility) with a syndicate of 10 banks with The Bank of Nova Scotia as the administrative agent. On February 16, 2007, the Company amended its existing $200 million unsecured revolving credit agreement with a syndicate of 11 banks with The Bank of Nova Scotia as the administrative agent (the 2007 Credit Facility). Under the 2007 Credit Facility, the Company exercised the option in the existing credit agreement to increase the availability under the revolving credit line by $100 million, for an aggregate availability of up to $300 million, and extended the maturity date of the revolving credit line by 18 months, from July 2010 to February 2012. Up to $25 million of the availability under the revolving credit line may be used to issue letters of credit, and up to $20 million may be used to pay off other debts or loans. The maximum leverage ratio under the 2007 Credit Facility is 3.00:1.00. The funds available under the 2007 Credit Facility may be used by the Company for acquisitions, stock repurchases, and general corporate purposes. As of August 20, 2008, the Company amended its 2007 Credit Facility to allow it to redeem, retire or purchase common stock of the Company without limitation so long as no default or unmatured default then existed, and leverage ratio for the two most recently completed periods was less than 2.00:1.00. In addition, the definition of the fixed charge was amended to exclude the impact of redemptions, retirements, or purchases common stock of the Company from the fixed charges coverage ratio.

In addition, during the first quarter of fiscal 2007 the Company incurred a five-year term loan under the 2007 Credit Facility in an aggregate principal amount of $100 million, which was repaid in full during fiscal 2008. As of October 2, 2009, the Company had an outstanding balance on the revolving credit line of $151.0 million which was drawn down in the third and the fourth quarters of fiscal 2008.

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

The 2007 Credit Facility contains customary affirmative, negative, and financial covenants including, among other requirements, negative covenants that restrict the Company's ability to dispose of assets, create liens, incur indebtedness, repurchase stock, pay dividends, make acquisitions, make investments, enter into mergers and consolidations, and make capital expenditures, within certain limitations, and financial covenants that require the maintenance of leverage and fixed charge coverage ratios. The 2007 Credit Facility contains events of default that include, among others, non-payment of principal, interest or fees, breach of covenants, inaccuracy of representations and warranties, cross defaults to certain other indebtedness, bankruptcy and insolvency events, material judgments, and events constituting a change of control. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an event of default, interest on the obligations will accrue at an increased rate and the lenders may accelerate the Company's obligations under the 2007 Credit Facility, however that acceleration will be automatic in the case of bankruptcy and insolvency events of default. As of October 2, 2009, the Company was in compliance with all financial debt covenants.

Notes Payable

Additionally, as of October 2, 2009, the Company had acquisition-related earn-outs of $2.2 million and holdbacks of $20.3 million recorded in Other current liabilities and Other non-current liabilities. The maximum remaining payments, including the $2.2 million and $20.3 million recorded, will not exceed $48.2 million. The remaining payments are based upon targets achieved or events occurring over time that would result in amounts paid that may be lower than the maximum remaining payments. The remaining earn-outs and holdbacks are payable through 2012.

At October 2, 2009, the Company had unconditional purchase obligations of approximately $46.7 million. These unconditional purchase obligations primarily represent open non-cancelable purchase orders for material purchases with the Company’s vendors. Purchase obligations exclude agreements that are cancelable without penalty. These unconditional purchase obligations are related primarily to inventory and other items.

NOTE 9. FAIR VALUE

As discussed in Note 2, the Company adopted in the first quarter of 2008, guidance on fair value measurements, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and requires enhanced disclosures about assets and liabilities measured at fair value, except for those items deferred which the Company adopted in the first quarter of fiscal 2009. Fair value is defined as the price at which an asset could be exchanged in a current transaction between knowledgeable, willing parties. A liability’s fair value is defined as the amount that would be paid to transfer the liability to a new obligor, not the amount that would be paid to settle the liability with the creditor. Where available, fair value is based on observable market prices or parameters or derived from such prices or parameters. Where observable prices or inputs are not available, valuation models are applied. These valuation techniques involve some level of management estimation and judgment, the degree of which is dependent on the price transparency for the instruments or market, and the instruments’ complexity.

Assets and liabilities, recorded at fair value on a recurring basis in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, are categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their fair value. Hierarchical levels, defined by the guidance on fair value measurements are directly related to the amount of subjectivity associated with the inputs to fair valuation of these assets and liabilities, and are as follows:

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

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

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

Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

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

The Company may invest in highly liquid investments such as money market funds and U.S. Treasury bills. The fair values are determined using observable quoted prices in active markets. Money market funds are included in Cash and cash equivalents on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. U.S. Treasury bills are included in Short-term investments on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company classifies these investments as available for sale and the unrealized gain or loss on these investments is not material. The U.S. Treasury bills held by the Company as of October 2, 2009 will mature in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009.

(2)

The Company maintains a self-directed, non-qualified deferred compensation plan for certain executives and other highly compensated employees. The investment assets and liabilities included in Level II are valued using quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active. Deferred compensation plan assets and liabilities are included in Other non-current assets and Other non-current liabilities on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

(3)

Derivative assets and liabilities included in Level II primarily represent forward currency exchange contracts. The Company enters into these contracts to minimize the short-term impact of foreign currency fluctuations on certain trade and inter-company receivables and payables. The derivatives are not designated as hedging instruments. The fair values are determined using inputs based on observable quoted prices. Derivative assets and liabilities are included in Other current assets and Other current liabilities, respectively, on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

(4)

A contingent consideration arrangement requires the Company to pay the former owner of one of the companies it acquired during fiscal 2009 up to an undiscounted maximum amount of $4.5 million, based on future revenues over a 3 year period. The potential undiscounted amount of all future payments that the Company could be required to make under the contingent consideration arrangement is between $0 and $4.5 million. The Company estimated the fair value of this liability using probability-weighted revenue projections and discount rates ranging from 0.37% to 1.38%. Of the total contingent consideration liability, $0.3 million and $1.9 million were included in Other current liabilities and Other non-current liabilities, respectively, on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The table below sets forth a summary of changes in the fair value of the Level III contingent consideration liability for the nine month ended October 2, 2009.

The fair value of the bank borrowings and promissory notes has been calculated using an estimate of the interest rate the Company would have had to pay on the issuance of notes with a similar maturity and discounting the cash flows at that rate. The fair values do not give an indication of the amount that Trimble would currently have to pay to extinguish any of this debt.

NOTE 10. PRODUCT WARRANTIES

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

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

Changes in the Company’s product warranty liability during the nine months ended October 2, 2009 were as follows:

(Dollars in thousands)
Balance as of January 2, 2009	$	13,332
Accruals for warranties issued		14,552

Diluted earnings per share	$	0.13	$	0.31	$	0.44	$	1.02

For the three months ended October 2, 2009 and September 26, 2008, the Company excluded 4.9 million and 1.7 million shares of outstanding stock options, respectively, from the calculation of diluted earnings per share. For the nine months ended October 2, 2009 and September 26, 2008, the Company excluded 4.9 million and 1.5 million shares of outstanding stock options, respectively, from the calculation of diluted earnings per share. These shares were excluded from the three and nine month periods because the exercise prices of these stock options were greater than or equal to the average market value of the common shares during the respective periods. Inclusion of these shares would be antidilutive. These options could be included in the calculation in the future if the average market value of the common shares increases and is greater than the exercise price of these options.

NOTE 12: RESTRUCTURING CHARGES:

Restructuring expense for the three and nine months ended October 2, 2009 and September 26, 2008 was as follows:

	Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended
	October 2,		September 26,		October 2,		September 26,

Severance and benefits	$	1,142	$	451	$	9,130	$	3,795

During the three and nine months ended October 2, 2009, restructuring expense of $1.1 million and $9.1 million , respectively, was related to decisions to streamline processes and reduce the cost structure of the Company, with approximately 300 positions eliminated. As a result of the decisions made through the third quarter of fiscal 2009, the Company expects restructuring activities to result in additional restructuring expense totaling approximately $0.3 million through the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009. During the three and nine months ended October 2, 2009, of the total restructuring expense, $0.9 million and $5.8 million, respectively, was shown as a separate line within Operating expense, and $0.2 million and $3.3 million, respectively, was included within Cost of sales on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

During the three and nine months ended September 26, 2008, restructuring expense of $0.5 million and $3.8 million, respectively, was related to decisions to streamline processes and reduce the cost structure of the Company, with approximately 90 positions eliminated. During the three and nine months ended September 26, 2008, of the total restructuring expense, $0.1 million and $2.4 million, respectively, was shown as a separate line within Operating expense, and $0.4 million and $1.4 million, respectively, was included within Cost of sales on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

Restructuring liability:

The $3.8 million restructuring accrual consisted of severance and benefits and was included in Other current liabilities. It is expected to be paid through the first quarter of fiscal 2010.

NOTE 13: INCOME TAXES

The Company’s effective income tax rate for the three months and nine months ended October 2, 2009 was 26.5% and 27.0 %, respectively, as compared to 29.8% and 30.0% for the three months and nine months ended September 26, 2008, respectively.

The Company and its U.S. subsidiaries are subject to U.S. federal and state income tax. The Company has substantially concluded all U.S. federal and state income tax matters for years through 1992. Generally, non-U.S. income tax matters have been concluded for years through 2000. The Company is currently in various stages of multiple year examinations by Federal, State, and foreign taxing authorities. The Company does not anticipate a significant impact to the unrecognized tax benefits balance with respect to current tax examinations. Although the timing of the resolution and/or the closure on audits is highly uncertain, the Company does not believe that the unrecognized tax benefits would materially change in the next twelve months.

The amount of liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits (net of the federal benefit on state issues) that, if recognized, would favorably affect the effective income tax rate in any future period are $39.4 million and $37.3 million at October 2, 2009 and January 2, 2009, respectively. The unrecognized tax benefits are recorded in Other non-current liabilities and within the deferred tax accounts in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The Company’s continuing practice is to recognize interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. The Company’s unrecognized tax benefit liabilities include interest and penalties at October 2, 2009 and January 2, 2009, of $5.0 million and $4.4 million, respectively, which were recorded in Other non-current liabilities in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

On September 30, 2008, the State of California enacted Assembly Bill 1452 into law which among other provisions, suspends net operating loss deductions for 2008 and 2009 and extends the carryforward period of any net operating losses not utilized due to such suspension, adopts the federal 20-year net operating loss carryforward period, phases-in the federal two-year net operating loss carryback periods beginning in 2011, and limits the utilization of tax credits to the extent of 50 percent of a taxpayer’s tax liability before tax credits.

The Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008, Energy Improvement and Extension Act of 2008, and Tax Extenders and Alternative Minimum Tax Relief Act of 2008 (HR1424) were signed into law on October 3, 2008. This legislation includes a provision that retroactively extends the research tax credit from January 1, 2008 to December 31, 2009. The impact in 2008 was a tax benefit of $1.9 million and an expected tax benefit of $1.5 million in 2009.

As of February 20, 2009, California enacted elective legislation under CR & TC 25128.5 to use the single sales factor apportionment formula. The impact of this legislation resulted in a tax benefit of $0.8 million for the nine month period ended October 2, 2009.

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

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

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

There have been no changes to our significant accounting polices during the nine months ended October 2, 2009 from those disclosed in our 2008 Form 10-K.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Updates to recent accounting standards as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 2, 2009 are as follows:

In September 2006, the FASB issued accounting guidance on fair value measurements. This standard, which is now codified under the Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, clarifies the definition of fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value within GAAP, and expands the disclosures regarding fair value measurements. In February 2008, the FASB deferred the effective date of the guidance to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008 and interim periods within those fiscal years for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a nonrecurring basis. We adopted the fair value measurement guidance in the first quarter of fiscal 2008, except for those items specifically deferred by the FASB, which were adopted in the first quarter of fiscal 2009. The adoption did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

In December 2007, the FASB issued revised accounting guidance on business combinations. This revised standard, now codified under the Business Combination Topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree, and recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase. The guidance also sets forth the disclosures required to be made in the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. The guidance applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Accordingly, we adopted this guidance in the first quarter of fiscal 2009. We expect the implementation of the new guidance to have an impact on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows, but the nature and magnitude of the specific effects will depend largely upon the nature and size of our business combinations. The adoption of the guidance did not have a material impact in the first nine months of fiscal 2009.

In December 2007, the FASB issued guidance related to the accounting for noncontrolling interests in consolidated financial statements. The guidance, now codified under the Consolidation Topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, changed the accounting and reporting for minority interests, which were re-characterized as noncontrolling interests and classified as a component of equity. This new consolidation method significantly changed the accounting for transactions with minority interest holders. The guidance required retroactive adoption of the presentation and disclosure requirements for previously existing minority interests. All other requirements of the guidance are applied prospectively. We adopted this new accounting guidance in the first quarter of fiscal 2009. The adoption of the guidance did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Table of Contents

In March 2008, the FASB issued accounting guidance on disclosures about derivative instruments and hedging activities. The new accounting guidance, now codified under the Derivatives and Hedging Topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, requires enhanced disclosures about (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. We adopted this new accounting guidance in the first quarter of fiscal 2009. The adoption of the guidance did not have an impact on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

In May 2009, the FASB issued accounting guidance on subsequent events. The standard, now codified under the Subsequent Events Topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, became effective for and was adopted by us during the second quarter of fiscal 2009. The guidance establishes the accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. Specifically, this guidance sets forth the period after the balance sheet date during which management of a reporting entity should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements, the circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements, and the disclosures that an entity should make about events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date. The guidance is effective for interim or annual financial periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of the guidance did not have an impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows, other than the disclosures required by the guidance.

In June 2009, the FASB issued accounting guidance which changes the consolidation guidance applicable to a variable interest entity (“VIE”). The guidance, now codified under the Consolidation Topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, also amends the guidance governing the determination of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a VIE, and is, therefore, required to consolidate an entity, by requiring a qualitative analysis rather than a quantitative analysis. The qualitative analysis will include, among other things, consideration of who has the power to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and who has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. This guidance also requires continuous reassessments of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a VIE. Previously, GAAP required reconsideration of whether an enterprise was the primary beneficiary of a VIE only when specific events had occurred. We are required to adopt this guidance beginning in fiscal 2010. We are evaluating the impact of the adoption of the guidance on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

In June 2009, the FASB issued guidance which establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (the “Codification”) as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative U.S. GAAP for SEC registrants. The Codification is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The Codification supersedes all accounting standards in U.S. GAAP, aside from those issued by the SEC. We adopted this guidance in the third quarter of fiscal 2009. The adoption did not have an impact on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

In October 2009, the FASB issued revised guidance on multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements which requires entities to allocate revenue in an arrangement using estimated selling prices of the delivered goods and services based on a selling price hierarchy, and eliminates the residual method of revenue allocation. It also requires revenue to be allocated using the relative selling price method. The FASB also issued accounting guidance on the applicability of software revenue accounting for certain arrangements that include software elements, which remove tangible products from the scope of software revenue guidance and provides guidance on determining whether software deliverables in an arrangement that includes a tangible product are covered by the scope of the software revenue guidance. The guidance on both of these topics, which are now codified under the Revenue Recognition Topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, should be applied on a prospective basis for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010, with early adoption permitted. We are evaluating the expected impact of the new revenue guidance on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows, and when we will adopt the revised guidance.

EXECUTIVE LEVEL OVERVIEW

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

Table of Contents

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

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

Reinforcing our position in existing markets

* We believe these markets provide us with additional, substantial potential for substituting our technology for traditional methods. We are continuing to develop new products and to strengthen our distribution channels in order to expand our market. In our Engineering and Construction segment, we introduced the new Excavator DDS300 Depth Display system, which provides dynamic depth display for compacting equipment to improve the accuracy and productivity of trenching, excavating and grading operations, and the AllTrak™ Asset Management system, which is designed to help contractors manage their construction equipment and tools. New versions of the GCS900 Grade Control system for milling machines and the LM80 Layout Manager were also released. We further expanded our Trimble Access software to include Spatial Imaging and Monitoring technology. The new software extends the benefits of Trimble Access to make sophisticated 3D scanning easier, faster, and more intuitive for the surveying community.

In our Field Solutions Segment, we introduced the Ag3000 modem for use as part of a Trimble GPS Autopilot™ system. The modem allows farmers to improve machine guidance accuracy by accessing network correction signals that use Trimble VRS technology via a cellular connection. We also introduced the TrueGuide Implement Guidance system which allows a tractor, equipped with Trimble Autopilot™ and an FmX display, to pull an implement along a more accurate line without additional steering hardware. In addition, we also released the Utility Center Mainenance-2 software module to help utilities maintain and manage all types of plant equipment in one solution and the Utility Center Field Inspector software, which provides a robust handheld field maintenance inspection solution for optimizing utility field operations.

In our Mobile Solutions segment, we introduced Trimble® Performance Manager, a unique business intelligence application that alerts companies managing field operations when there is a deviation between what is planned and what is actually occurring in the field. This allows cost reductions through fewer miles driven and better utilization of fleet vehicles, which also decreases an organization's carbon footprint. In our Advanced Devices segment, we introduced the AP series of embedded GNSS-Inertial OEM boards plus IMU with advanced Maxwell™ technology and Applanix In-Fusion™ GNSS-Inertial integration technology, enabling continuous mobile positioning and high-accuracy orientation in poor signal environments. We also introduced the BD970, a 220 channel, Real-Time Kinematic (RTK) GNSS receiver module for precise positioning OEM applications. All of these products strengthened our competitive position and created new value for the user.

Extending our position in new and existing markets through new product categories

* We are utilizing the strength of the Trimble brand in our markets to expand our revenue by bringing new products to new and existing users. In our Engineering and Construction segment, we expanded the Trimble VRS Now service to the Czech Republic and Mississippi. Also within Engineering and Construction, we introduced the Trimble Digital Pen which converts form and markup information to digital data allowing notes, sketches, data and markups to be aggregated into the original file and tracked by user, pen and time. In our Field Solutions segment, the acquisition of Farm Works’ assets continues the expansion of our Precision Agriculture Solutions business with the addition of Farm Works software solutions for information and farm operations management.

Bringing existing technology to new markets

* We continue to reinforce our position in existing markets and position ourselves in newer markets that will serve as important sources of future growth. Our efforts are focused in emerging markets in Africa, China, India, the Middle-East and Russia.

Revenue

In the three months ended October 2, 2009, total revenue decreased by $58.4 million or 18%, as compared to the same corresponding period in fiscal 2008. Of the decrease, Engineering and Construction revenue decreased $42.5 million, Field Solutions decreased $8.7 million, Mobile Solutions decreased $1.2 million, and Advanced Devices decreased $6.0 million. The revenue decrease was primarily due to recessionary conditions in the U.S. and European markets in Engineering and Construction and lower sales in Field Solutions due to reduced farmer demand for agricultural products, generally due to lower commodity prices.

In the nine months ended October 2, 2009, total revenue decreased by $212.4 million or 20%, as compared to the same corresponding period in fiscal 2008. Engineering and Construction revenue decreased $174.8 million, Field Solutions decreased $7.9 million, Mobile Solutions decreased $10.2 million, and Advanced Devices decreased $19.6 million, compared to the same corresponding period in fiscal 2008. Revenue reduction within these segments was primarily due to recessionary conditions in the U.S. and European markets in Engineering and Construction.

Gross Margin

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

Gross margin decreased by $33.2 million and $107.9 million for the three and nine months ended October 2, 2009, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year, primarily due to the decrease in revenue. Gross margin as a percentage of total revenue for the three months ended October 2, 2009 was 49.1%, as compared to 50.5% for the three months ended September 26, 2008. Gross margin as a percentage of total revenue for the nine months ended October 2, 2009 was 49.4%, as compared to 49.7% for the nine months ended September 26, 2008. The gross margin percentage for the three and nine month periods ended October 2, 2009 was relatively consistent and was maintained by a greater percentage of higher margin product sales, in particular, software and subscription services, in spite of the decrease in revenue.

Operating Income

Operating income decreased by $33.9 million and $101.9 million for the three and nine months ended October 2, 2009, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year, primarily due to the revenue decrease. Operating income as a percentage of total revenue was 7.5% for the three months ended October 2, 2009, as compared to 16.5% for the three months ended September 26, 2008. Operating income as a percentage of total revenue was 8.6% for the nine months ended October 2, 2009, as compared to 16.5% for the nine months ended September 26, 2008. The decrease in operating income percentage for both the three and nine month periods was primarily due to decreased operating expense leverage, primarily in Engineering and Construction and Field Solutions, due to the revenue decrease.

Segment operating income decreased $20.5 million or 49% and $80.9 million or 65% for the three and nine months ended October 2, 2009, respectively, as compared to the same corresponding periods in fiscal 2008.

Table of Contents

The revenue decline for both the three and nine month periods was primarily driven by recessionary conditions in the U.S. and European markets, as well as softness in the rest of the world, with the exception of China. Segment operating income for both the three and nine month periods decreased primarily due to the revenue decrease, partially offset by a reduction in operating expense due to restructuring and overall expense control.

Field Solutions

Field Solutions revenue decreased by $8.7 million or 14% and $7.9 million or 3% for the three and nine months ended October 2, 2009, respectively, as compared to the same corresponding periods in fiscal 2008. Segment operating income decreased by $5.8 million or 26% and $3.3 million or 4% for the three and nine months ended October 2, 2009, respectively, as compared to the same corresponding periods in fiscal 2008.

The revenue decrease for both the three and nine month periods was primarily due to softening farmer demand for agriculture products, generally due to lower commodity prices. Segment operating income for both the three and nine month periods decreased primarily due to the lower revenue, partially offset by gross margin improvement.

Mobile Solutions

Mobile Solutions revenue decreased by $1.2 million or 3% and $10.2 million or 8% for the three and nine months ended October 2, 2009, respectively, as compared to the same corresponding period in fiscal 2008. Segment operating income decreased by $0.2 million or 7% and increased by $2.2 million or 27% for the three and nine months ended October 2, 2009, respectively, as compared to the same corresponding periods in fiscal 2008.

The revenue decline for the three month period was due to lower ready mix product sales due to recessionary conditions in the U.S. The revenue decline for the nine month period was primarily due to lower product sales as well as the impact in the prior year of the recognition of large non-recurring revenue items. Operating income for the three month period decreased slightly due to the decrease in revenue, partially offset by a reduction in operating expense due to restructuring and overall expense control. Operating income for the nine month period increased primarily due to a reduction in operating expense due to restructuring and overall expense control, partially offset by lower revenue.

Advanced Devices

Advanced Devices revenue decreased by $6.0 million or 19% and $19.6 million or 21% for the three and nine months ended October 2, 2009, respectively, as compared to the same corresponding periods in fiscal 2008.

Table of Contents

Overall, R&D, S&M, and G&A expense decreased by approximately $2.6 million and $16.0 million for the three and nine months ended October 2, 2009, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in fiscal 2008.

Research and development expense decreased by $2.1 million and $11.3 million for the three and nine month periods ended October 2, 2009, respectively, as compared to the same corresponding periods in fiscal 2008, primarily due to foreign currency exchange rates and decreased compensation costs, partially offset by the inclusion of expense from acquisitions not included in the prior year. All of our R&D costs have been expensed as incurred. Costs of software developed for external sale subsequent to reaching technical feasibility were not considered material and were expensed as incurred. Spending overall was at approximately 12% of revenue in the three and nine months ended October 2, 2009, respectively, as compared to 11% and 10% in the corresponding periods in fiscal 2008.

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

Sales and marketing expense decreased by $1.6 million and $10.6 million for the three and nine months ended October 2, 2009, respectively, as compared to the same corresponding periods in fiscal 2008. The decrease was primarily due to foreign currency exchange rates, decreased compensation costs, and travel and trade show expense, partially offset by the inclusion of expense from acquisitions not applicable in the prior year. Spending overall was at approximately 17% and 16% of revenue in the three and nine months ended October 2, 2009, respectively, as compared to 15% and 14% in the same corresponding periods in fiscal 2008.

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

General and administrative expense increased by $1.2 million for the three months ended October 2, 2009, as compared to the same corresponding period in fiscal 2008, primarily due to the inclusion of expense from acquisitions not applicable in the prior year and deferred compensation plan expense, partially offset by lower bad debt expense. General and administrative expense increased by $5.9 million for the nine months ended October 2, 2009, as compared to the same corresponding period in fiscal 2008, primarily due to the inclusion of expense from acquisitions not applicable in the prior year, deferred compensation plan expense, settlement costs, and increased bad debt expense, partially offset by foreign currency exchange rates. Spending overall was at approximately 9% of revenue in the three and nine months ended October 2, 2009, respectively, as compared to 6% and 7% in the same corresponding periods in fiscal 2008.

Amortization of Purchased Intangible Assets

Amortization of purchased intangible assets was $13.6 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2009, as compared to $11.1 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2008. Of the total $13.6 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2009, $7.9 million is presented as a separate line within Operating expense and $5.7 million is included within Cost of sales on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. The increase was due primarily to business acquisitions and asset purchases not included in the corresponding period of fiscal 2008. *As of October 2, 2009, future amortization of these intangible assets is expected to be $13.6 million during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009, $53.0 million during 2010, $47.7 million during 2011, $40.0 million during 2012, $35.2 million during 2013, and $27.1 million thereafter.

Restructuring Charges

Restructuring expense for the three and nine months ended October 2, 2009 and September 26, 2008 was as follows:

	Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended
	October 2,		September 26,		October 2,		September 26,
(Dollars in thousands)	2009		2008		2009		2008

Severance and benefits	$	1,142	$	451	$	9,130	$	3,795

During the three and nine months ended October 2, 2009, restructuring expense of $1.1 million and $9.1 million, respectively, was related to decisions to streamline processes and reduce the cost structure of the Company, with approximately 300 positions eliminated. As a result of the decisions made through the third quarter of fiscal 2009, we expect restructuring activities to result in additional restructuring expense totaling approximately $0.3 million through the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009. During the three and nine months ended October 2, 2009, of the total restructuring expense, $0.9 million and $5.8 million, respectively, was shown as a separate line within Operating expense, and $0.2 million and $3.3 million, respectively, was included within Cost of sales on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

During the three and nine months ended September 26, 2008, restructuring expense of $0.5 million and $3.8 million, respectively, was related to decisions to streamline processes and reduce the cost structure of the Company, with approximately 90 positions eliminated worldwide. During the three and nine months ended September 26, 2008, of the total restructuring expense, $0.1 million and $2.4 million, respectively, was shown as a separate line within Operating expense, and $0.4 million and $1.4 million, respectively, was included within Cost of sales on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

Total non-operating income, net	$	1,396		$	1,563		$	1,795		$	7,453

Non-operating income, net decreased by $0.2 million and $5.7 million for the three and nine months ended October 2, 2009, respectively, as compared to the same corresponding period in fiscal 2008. The decrease for the three month period was primarily due to lower income from joint ventures, partially offset by an increase in foreign exchange gains and deferred compensation plan gains. The decrease for the nine month period was primarily due to lower income from joint ventures and decreases in foreign exchange gains, partially offset by deferred compensation plan gains.

Income Tax Provision

Our effective income tax rate for the three and nine months ended October 2, 2009 was 26.5% and 27.0 %, respectively, as compared to 29.8% and 30.0% for the three months and nine months ended September 26, 2008. The 2009 fiscal third quarter effective tax rate is lower than the statutory federal income tax rate of 35% primarily due to true-up adjustments resulting from the filing of our 2008 income tax return and the geographical mix of our pre-tax income. The 2008 fiscal third quarter effective tax rate is lower than the statutory federal income tax rate of 35% primarily due to the geographical mix of our pre-tax income.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET FINANCINGS AND LIABILITIES

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

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

It is not possible to determine the maximum potential amount under these indemnification agreements due to the limited history of prior indemnification claims and the unique facts and circumstances involved in each particular agreement. Historically, payments made by us under these agreements were not material and no liabilities have been recorded for these obligations on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of October 2, 2009 and January 2, 2009.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

As of October 2, 2009, cash and cash equivalents totaled $215.1 million as compared to $142.5 million at January 2, 2009. Debt was $151.5 million as of October 2, 2009, as compared to $151.6 million at January 2, 2009.

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

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

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

Operating Activities

Cash provided by operating activities was $139.1 million for the nine months ended October 2, 2009, as compared to $141.9 million for the nine months ended September 26, 2008. This decrease of $2.8 million was primarily driven by a decrease in net income before non-cash depreciation and amortization and income taxes due, partially offset by a decrease in accounts receivable, inventories and income taxes payable resulting from decreased revenue and income before taxes.

Investing Activities

Cash used in investing activities was $86.7 million for the nine months ended October 2, 2009, as compared to $77.6 million for the nine months ended September 26, 2008. The increase of $9.1 million was due to increased cash used for business and intangible asset acquisitions.

Financing Activities

Cash provided by financing activities was $14.8 million for the nine months ended October 2, 2009, as compared to cash used of $97.2 million for the nine months ended September 26, 2008. The increase of $112.0 million was primarily due to the stock repurchase and pay down of debt in the first nine months of fiscal 2008.

Accounts Receivable and Inventory Metrics

Table of Contents

	October 2,		January 2,
As of	2009		2009

Accounts receivable days sales outstanding		68		69
Inventory turns per year		3.3		4.2

Accounts receivable days sales outstanding were 68 days as of October 2, 2009, as compared to 69 days as January 2, 2009 due to improved collections. Our accounts receivable days sales outstanding is calculated based on ending accounts receivable, net, divided by revenue for the corresponding fiscal quarter, times a quarterly average of 91 days. Our inventory turns were 3.3 as of October 2, 2009, as compared to 4.2 as of January 2, 2009. The decrease in turns is primarily due to slower sales. Our inventory turnover is based on the total cost of sales for the fiscal period over the average inventory for the corresponding fiscal period.

Debt

As of October 2, 2009, our total debt was comprised primarily of our revolving credit line in the amount of $151.0 million, which was drawn down in the third and the fourth quarters of fiscal 2008. As of October 2, 2009 and January 2, 2009, there were also notes payable totaling approximately $504,000 and $588,000, respectively, primarily consisting of government loans to foreign subsidiaries.

On July 28, 2005, we entered into a $200 million unsecured revolving credit agreement (the 2005 Credit Facility) with a syndicate of 10 banks with The Bank of Nova Scotia as the administrative agent. On February 16, 2007, we amended our existing $200 million unsecured revolving credit agreement with a syndicate of 11 banks with The Bank of Nova Scotia as the administrative agent (the 2007 Credit Facility). Under the 2007 Credit Facility, we exercised the option in the existing credit agreement to increase the availability under the revolving credit line by $100 million, for an aggregate availability of up to $300 million, and extended the maturity date of the revolving credit line by 18 months, from July 2010 to February 2012. Up to $25 million of the availability under the revolving credit line may be used to issue letters of credit, and up to $20 million may be used to pay off other debts or loans. The maximum leverage ratio under the 2007 Credit Facility is 3.00:1.00. The funds available under the 2007 Credit Facility may be used by us for acquisitions, stock repurchases, and general corporate purposes. As of August 20, 2008, we amended the 2007 Credit Facility to allow us to redeem, retire or purchase Trimble common stock without limitation so long as no default or unmatured default then existed, and leverage ratio for the two most recently completed periods was less than 2.00:1.00. In addition, the definition of the fixed charge was amended to exclude the impact of redemptions, retirements, or purchases of Trimble common stock from the fixed charges coverage ratio. For additional discussion of our debt, see Note 8 of Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In addition, during the first quarter of fiscal 2007 we incurred a five-year term loan under the 2007 Credit Facility in an aggregate principal amount of $100 million, which was repaid in full during fiscal 2008.

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

The 2007 Credit Facility contains customary affirmative, negative and financial covenants including, among other requirements, negative covenants that restrict our ability to dispose of assets, create liens, incur indebtedness, repurchase stock, pay dividends, make acquisitions, make investments, enter into mergers and consolidations, and make capital expenditures, within certain limitations, and financial covenants that require the maintenance of leverage and fixed charge coverage ratios. The 2007 Credit Facility contains events of default that include, among others, non-payment of principal, interest or fees, breach of covenants, inaccuracy of representations and warranties, cross defaults to certain other indebtedness, bankruptcy and insolvency events, material judgments, and events constituting a change of control. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an event of default, interest on the obligations will accrue at an increased rate and the lenders may accelerate our obligations under the 2007 Credit Facility, however that acceleration will be automatic in the case of bankruptcy and insolvency events of default. As of October 2, 2009 we were in compliance with all financial debt covenants.
