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 2009 was January 1, 2010. The third quarters of fiscal 2010 and fiscal 2009 ended on October 1, 2010 and October 2, 2009, respectively. Fiscal 2010 and 2009 were both 52-week years. 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 1, 2010 and for the three and nine months ended October 1, 2010 and October 2, 2009 has been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements, prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of January 1, 2010 is derived from the audited Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K of Trimble Navigation Limited for fiscal year 2009. 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 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles 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 1, 2010, results of operations for the three and nine months ended October 1, 2010 and October 2, 2009 and cash flows for the nine months ended October 1, 2010 and October 2, 2009, as applicable, have been made. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended October 1, 2010 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 the date that these financial statements have been filed with the SEC.

NOTE 2. UPDATES TO SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

There have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting polices during the nine months ended October 1, 2010 from those disclosed in the Company’s 2009 Form 10-K, with the exception of the Company’s accounting policy for revenue recognition as described below.

Revenue Recognition Accounting Policy

The Company elected to early adopt new revenue accounting guidance at the beginning of its first quarter of fiscal 2010 on a prospective basis for applicable transactions originating or materially modified after January 1, 2010. See “Recent Accounting Pronouncements” below within this footnote.

The Company recognizes product revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, shipment has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collectibility is reasonably assured. In instances where final acceptance of the product is specified by the customer or is uncertain, revenue is deferred until all acceptance criteria have been met.

Contracts and/or customer purchase orders are used to determine the existence of an arrangement. Shipping documents and customer acceptance, when applicable, are used to verify delivery. The Company assesses whether the fee is fixed or determinable based on the payment terms associated with the transaction and whether the sales price is subject to refund or adjustment. The Company assesses collectibility based primarily on the creditworthiness of the customer as determined by credit checks and analyses, as well as the customer’s payment history.

Revenue for orders is generally not recognized until the product is shipped and title has transferred to the buyer. The Company bears all costs and risks of loss or damage to the goods up to that point. The Company’s shipment terms for U.S. orders and international orders fulfilled from

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — UNAUDITED—(Continued)

the Company’s European distribution center typically provide that title passes to the buyer upon delivery of the goods to the carrier named by the buyer at the named place or point. If no precise point is indicated by the buyer, the Company may choose within the place or range stipulated where the carrier will take the goods into carrier’s charge. Other shipment terms may provide that title passes to the buyer upon delivery of the goods to the buyer. Shipping and handling costs are included in Cost of sales.

Revenue to distributors and resellers is recognized upon shipment, assuming all other criteria for revenue recognition have been met. Distributors and resellers do not typically have a right of return.

Revenue from purchased extended warranty and post contract support (PCS) agreements is deferred and recognized ratably over the term of the warranty or support period.

The Company presents revenue net of sales taxes and any similar assessments.

The Company’s software arrangements generally consist of a perpetual license fee and PCS. The Company generally has established vendor-specific objective evidence (VSOE) of fair value for the Company’s PCS contracts based on the renewal rate. The remaining value of the software arrangement is allocated to the license fee using the residual method. License revenue is primarily recognized when the software has been delivered and fair value has been established for all remaining undelivered elements.

The Company’s multiple deliverable product offerings include hardware with embedded firmware, extended warranty and PCS services, which are considered separate units of accounting. For certain of the Company’s products, software and non-software components function together to deliver the tangible product’s essential functionality.

Some of the Company’s subscription product offerings include hardware, subscription services and extended warranty. Under the Company’s hosted arrangements, the customer typically does not have the contractual right to take possession of the software at any time during the hosting period without incurring a significant penalty and it is not feasible for the customer to run the software either on its own hardware or on a third-party’s hardware. Upfront fees related to the Company’s hosted solutions typically consist of amounts for the in-vehicle enabling hardware device and peripherals.

In evaluating the revenue recognition for agreements which contain multiple deliverable arrangements, under the new accounting guidance, the Company determined that in certain instances it was not able to establish VSOE for all deliverables in an arrangement as the Company infrequently sells each element on a standalone basis, does not price products within a narrow range, or has a limited sales history. When VSOE cannot be established, the Company attempts to establish the selling price of each element based on relevant third-party evidence (TPE). TPE is determined based on competitor prices for similar deliverables when sold separately. Generally, the Company’s go-to-market strategy differs from that of competitors, and offerings may contain a significant level of proprietary technology, customization or differentiation such that the comparable pricing of products with similar functionality cannot be obtained. Furthermore, the Company is unable to reliably determine what similar competitor products’ selling prices are on a stand-alone basis. Therefore, the Company typically is not able to determine TPE.

When the Company is unable to establish selling price using VSOE or TPE, the Company uses its best estimate of selling price (BESP) in the Company’s allocation of arrangement consideration. The objective of BESP is to determine the price at which the Company would transact a sale if the product or service were sold on a stand-alone basis. BESP is generally used for offerings that are not typically sold on a stand-alone basis or for new or highly customized offerings. The Company determines BESP for a product or service by considering multiple factors including, but not limited to, pricing practices, market conditions, competitive landscape, internal costs, geographies and gross margin. The determination of BESP is made through consultation with and formal approval by the Company’s management, taking into consideration the Company’s go-to-market strategy.

Total revenue as reported and pro forma total revenues that would have been reported during the three and nine months ended October 1, 2010, if the transactions entered into or materially modified after January 1, 2010 were subject to previous accounting guidance, are shown in the following table:


(Dollars in thousands)	As Reported		Pro Forma
Total revenue for the three months ended October 1, 2010	$	318,210	$	314,817
Total revenue for the nine months ended October 1, 2010	$	970,588	$	963,983

The impact of the revised accounting guidance to total revenue during the three and nine months ended October 1, 2010 was attributable to the reallocation of discounts to revenue deliverables, the recognition of hardware revenue associated with subscription contracts, which was previously recognized ratably over the contract period, and the ability to assign selling price to undelivered elements, which previously required VSOE.

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 1, 2010 are as follows:

In January 2010, the FASB issued guidance to amend the disclosure requirements related to recurring and nonrecurring fair value

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — UNAUDITED—(Continued)

measurements. This guidance, which is now codified under the Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, requires new disclosures on the transfers of assets and liabilities between Level 1 (quoted prices in active market for identical assets or liabilities) and Level 2 (significant other observable inputs) of the fair value measurement hierarchy, including the reasons and the timing of the transfers. Additionally, the guidance requires a roll forward of activities on purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements of the assets and liabilities measured using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 fair value measurements). The guidance became effective for the Company with the reporting period beginning January 2, 2010, except for the disclosure on the roll forward activities for Level 3 fair value measurements, which will become effective for the Company at the beginning of fiscal 2011. Other than requiring additional disclosures, adoption of this new guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

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 adopted this guidance in the first quarter of fiscal 2010. The adoption of the guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In October 2009, the FASB issued an amendment which eliminates the residual method of allocation for multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements and requires that arrangement consideration be allocated at the inception of an arrangement to all deliverables using the relative selling price method. In addition, the guidance updated whether multiple deliverables exist and how the deliverables in an arrangement should be separated. The amendment also establishes a selling price hierarchy for determining the selling price of a deliverable, which includes: (1) vendor specific objective evidence (VSOE) if available; (2) third-party evidence (TPE) if VSOE evidence is not available; and (3) estimated selling (ESP) price if neither VSOE nor TPE is available. In addition, the FASB modified the accounting for revenue arrangements that include both tangible products and software elements, such that tangible products containing both software and non-software components that function together to deliver the tangible product’s essential functionality are no longer within the scope of software revenue guidance. Both amendments are effective for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010, with early adoption permitted. The Company early adopted this guidance in the first quarter of fiscal 2010 on a prospective basis.

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. After placing the program on hold in late 2008 due to the economic downturn, Trimble resumed purchases under the program, beginning in the second quarter of 2010. During the three months ended October 1, 2010, the Company repurchased approximately 216,000 shares of common stock in open market purchases at an average price of $28.40 per share, for a total of $6.1 million. During the nine months ended October 1, 2010, the Company repurchased approximately 2,576,000 shares of common stock in open market purchases at an average price of $28.67 per share, for a total of $73.8 million. No shares of common stock were repurchased during the three and nine months ended October 2, 2009. Since January 2008, the Company has repurchased approximately 6,819,000 shares of common stock in open market purchases at an average price of $29.29 per share, for a total of $199.7 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 1, 2010, the 2008 Stock Repurchase Program had remaining authorized funds of $50.3 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 1, 2010 and October 2, 2009.

Options

Stock option expense recognized during the period is based on the fair value of the portion of the stock option that is expected to vest during the period and is net of estimated forfeitures. 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 1, 2010 and October 2, 2009, the following weighted average assumptions were used:


	Three Months Ended						Nine Months Ended
	October 1, 2010			October 2, 2009			October 1, 2010			October 2, 2009
Expected dividend yield		—			—			—			—
Expected stock price volatility		43.8	%		46.8	%		43.7	%		46.7	%
Risk free interest rate		1.7	%		1.8	%		1.8	%		1.9	%
Expected life of option		4.1 years			4.1 years			4.2 years			4.2 years

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

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

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

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

Credit Facilities

On July 28, 2005, the Company entered into a $200 million unsecured revolving credit agreement (the 2005 Credit Facility) with a syndicate of 10 banks with The Bank of Nova Scotia as the administrative agent. On February 16, 2007, the Company amended its existing $200 million unsecured revolving credit agreement with a syndicate of 11 banks with The Bank of Nova Scotia as the administrative agent (the 2007 Credit Facility). Under the 2007 Credit Facility, the Company exercised the option in the existing credit agreement to increase the availability under the revolving credit line by $100 million, for an aggregate availability of up to $300 million, and extended the maturity date of the revolving credit line by 18 months, from July 2010 to February 2012. Up to $25 million of the availability under the revolving credit line may be used to issue letters of credit, and up to $20 million may be used 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 1, 2010, the Company had an outstanding balance on the revolving credit line of $151.0 million which was drawn down in 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 1, 2010, the Company was in compliance with all financial debt covenants.

Notes Payable

As of October 1, 2010 and January 1, 2010 the Company had notes payable totaling approximately $2.1 million and $0.5 million, respectively. The outstanding notes payable as of October 1, 2010 consisted primarily of notes payable to noncontrolling interest holders of one of the Company’s consolidated subsidiaries. The notes bear interest at 6% and have undefined payment terms, but are callable with a six month notification. The outstanding notes payable balance as of January 1, 2010 consisted primarily of government loans to foreign subsidiaries.

Total	$	50,186

Additionally, as of October 1, 2010, the Company had acquisition-related earn-outs of $4.2 million and holdbacks of $12.9 million recorded in Other current liabilities and Other non-current liabilities. The maximum remaining payments, including the $4.2 million and $12.9 million recorded, will not exceed $44.0 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 2013.

At October 1, 2010, the Company had unconditional purchase obligations of approximately $66.2 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 MEASUREMENTS

The guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and requires enhanced disclosures about assets and liabilities measured at fair value. 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.

(1)

These investments are 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. In prior year filings, the table above incorrectly excluded certain Level I money market funds. These funds however, were correctly included in Cash and cash equivalents on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

(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)

The Company has six contingent consideration arrangements that require it to pay the former owners of certain companies it acquired during fiscal 2009 and fiscal 2010. The undiscounted maximum payment under all six arrangements is $8.5 million, based on future revenues or gross margins over a 3 year period. The Company estimated the fair value of these liabilities using the expected cash flow approach with inputs being probability-weighted revenue or gross margin projections, as the case may be, and discount rates ranging from 0.16% to 0.42%. 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 three month ended October 1, 2010.

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 1, 2010 are as follows:


(Dollars in thousands)
Balance as of January 1, 2010	$	14,744
Accruals for warranties issued		13,064
Changes in estimates		(1,430	)

Diluted earnings per share	$	0.27	$	0.13	$	0.54	$	0.44

For the three months ended October 1, 2010 and October 2, 2009, the Company excluded 2.3 million shares and 4.9 million shares of outstanding stock options, respectively, from the calculation of diluted earnings per share. For the nine months ended October 1, 2010 and October 2, 2009, the Company excluded 2.2 million and 4.9 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 1, 2010 and October 2, 2009 was as follows:

The $1.3 million restructuring accrual consists of severance and benefits. The $1.3 million restructuring accrual is included in Other current liabilities and is expected to be settled in the third quarter of fiscal 2011.

NOTE 13: INCOME TAXES

The Company’s effective income tax rate for the three and nine months ended October 1, 2010 was 14.3% and 43.0%, respectively, as compared to 26.5% and 27.0%, respectively, for the three and nine months ended October 2, 2009. The effective income tax rate for the three months ended October 1, 2010 was lower than the statutory federal income tax rate of 35% primarily due to geographical mix of the Company’s pre-tax income. The effective income tax rate for the nine months ended October 1, 2010 was higher than the statutory federal income tax rate primarily due to the net impact of the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS) audit settlement in the second quarter of 2010, partially offset by geographical mix of the Company’s pre-tax income. The effective income tax rate for the three and nine months ended October 2, 2009 was lower than the statutory federal income tax rate primarily due to the geographical mix of the Company’s pre-tax income.

In May 2010, the IRS closed its examination of the Company’s income tax returns for the years 2005 through 2007. As part of the audit, the IRS examined and adjusted the valuation and payment arrangement for the 2006 non-exclusive license of specified Trimble intellectual property rights to a foreign-based Trimble subsidiary. The consideration for this license was to be paid over time and was established based on the Company’s estimate of the ongoing royalties that would have been received in a similar license arrangement to an unrelated third-party licensee. Pursuant to the audit settlement, Trimble agreed to revise the valuation and to accelerate the payments under the existing royalty arrangement resulting in a net impact of $27.5 million in the second quarter of 2010, net of a release of liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits. The resolution of the 2005 through 2007 audit resulted in a tax assessment to the Company of $42.5 million and interest of $7.2 million for a total of $49.7 million that the Company paid on July 15, 2010. Additionally, as a result of the settlement, the Company incurred state income taxes and interest of approximately $2.5 million.

The Company and its U.S. subsidiaries are subject to U.S. federal and state income tax. The Company has concluded all U.S. federal income tax matters for the years through 2007 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. It is reasonably possible that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will change in the next twelve months. The amount of change cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. Such changes could occur based on the normal expiration of various statutes of limitations or the possible conclusion of ongoing tax audits in various jurisdictions around the world.

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 $23.3 million and $43.3 million at October 1, 2010 and January 1, 2010, respectively. The primary component of the net change is a $21.6 million realization of unrecognized tax benefits due to the effective settlement of the IRS 2005 through 2007 income tax audit. Unrecognized tax benefits are recorded in Other non-current liabilities and in the deferred tax accounts in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — UNAUDITED—(Continued)

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 1, 2010 and January 1, 2010, of $3.3 million and $5.0 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. On October 19, 2010, the State of California chaptered into law Senate Bill 858, which further suspends net operating loss deductions for 2010 and 2011 and suspends the commencement of the two year carryback phase-in to 2013.

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 material changes to our significant accounting polices during the nine months ended October 1, 2010 from those disclosed in our 2009 Form 10-K, with the exception of our accounting policy for revenue recognition as described in Note 2 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Updates to recent accounting standards as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 1, 2010 are as follows:

In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued guidance to amend the disclosure requirements related to recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. This guidance, which is now codified under the Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, requires new disclosures on the transfers of assets and liabilities between Level I (quoted prices in active market for identical assets or liabilities) and Level II (significant other observable inputs) of the fair value measurement hierarchy, including the reasons and the timing of the transfers. Additionally, the guidance requires a roll forward of activities on purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements of the assets and liabilities measured using significant unobservable inputs (Level III fair value measurements). The guidance became effective for us with the reporting period beginning January 2, 2010, except for the disclosure on the roll forward activities for Level III fair value measurements, which will become effective for us at the beginning of fiscal 2011. Other than requiring additional disclosures, adoption of this new guidance did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

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 adopted this guidance in the first quarter of fiscal 2010. The adoption of the guidance did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

both tangible products and software elements, such that tangible products containing both software and non-software components that function together to deliver the tangible product’s essential functionality are no longer within the scope of software revenue guidance. Both amendments are effective for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010, with early adoption permitted. We early adopted this guidance in the first quarter of fiscal 2010 on a prospective basis. See Note 2 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a more detailed discussion.

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.

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 expanded our network of SITECH Technology Dealers by adding SITECH dealerships in geographic locations such as Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Brazil, Australia, Mexico and Central Russia. These dealers represent Trimble and Caterpillar machine control systems for the contractor’s entire fleet of heavy equipment, regardless of machine brand. We also introduced new Trimble 4D Control software solutions for monitoring systems, which include support for geotechnical sensors and a user-friendly Web Module. We also rolled out the Trimble MX8 Mobile Spatial Imaging System, which is an advanced mobile data capture system that combines imaging and laser scanning capabilities to measure objects in 3D to produce 3D, 4D and 5D data sets for spatial imaging projects.

In our Field Solutions segment, we introduced the CFX-750 display, which features the latest in-cab touch screen, full-color display that allows farmers to choose the specific guidance, steering and precision agriculture capabilities that best fit their farm’s particular needs. We also rolled out new and enhanced variable rate and boom control options to the Field-IQ crop input control system which help farmers manage pest and nutrient applications by avoiding spray overlap. We enhanced the Juno SD Handheld to provide complete and compact solutions for Field Workforce Asset Management with voice and data capability. We introduced the Trimble Trident Analyst 2010 for spatial imaging, roadway signs, and GIS. This new software provides advanced information extraction capabilities, which provide users with increased capability and productivity.

In our Mobile Solutions segment, we launched a global safety initiative to help fleets become safer, more efficient and greener, including the introduction of the Trimble DriverSafety solution. This solution is designed to provide real-time feedback of unsafe maneuvers to drivers and a comprehensive picture for safety managers and fleet operation teams to accurately measure and mitigate fleet safety risks.

In our Advanced Devices segment, we introduced the Trimble AP10 receiver, which was the latest addition to the Trimble AP line of embedded GNSS-Inertial OEM board products that combine high-performance precision Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) and Applanix IN-Fusion™ GNSS-Inertial integration technology, running on a powerful, dedicated Inertial Engine (IE) board. The AP Series is ideal for a variety of commercial mobile positioning applications, including airborne, terrestrial and marine mapping and guidance for unmanned vehicles.

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

* We announced the formation of joint venture with Hilti, which will integrate Trimble’s positioning and asset management technologies with Hilti’s tools capabilities to create smarter tools and a smarter construction site. With the acquisition of Accubid, we established project management capabilities in the electrical BIM software space.

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. SITECH Central Russia has been established offering a comprehensive portfolio of construction technology systems to heavy and highway contractors in Central Russia.

Pondera is an engineering and development company offering services and software tools for siting, designing, optimizing, and maintaining high-voltage power transmission and distribution lines. Pondera’s performance is reported under our Field Solutions business segment.

Seasonality of Business

* Our individual segment revenue may be affected by seasonal buying patterns. Typically, the second fiscal quarter has been the strongest quarter for the Company driven by the construction buying season. However during the recent past, this pattern has been disrupted by the global economic downturn.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Revenue

In the three months ended October 1, 2010, total revenue increased by $48.5 million or 18%, as compared to the same corresponding period in fiscal 2009. Of the increase, Engineering and Construction revenue increased $40.2 million, Field Solutions increased $11.6 million, slightly offset by a decrease in Mobile Solutions of $1.9 million and a decrease in Advanced Devices of $1.4 million. The revenue increase was primarily due to a return to growth in the U.S. and rest of the world markets in Engineering and Construction and higher sales in Field Solutions due to increased farmer demand for agricultural products.

In the nine months ended October 1, 2010, total revenue increased by $121.9 million or 14%, as compared to the same corresponding period in fiscal 2009. Of the increase, Engineering and Construction revenue increased $111.4 million, Field Solutions increased $8.7 million, and Advanced Devices increased $4.9 million, slightly offset by a decrease in Mobile Solutions of $3.1 million. The revenue increase was primarily due to the economic recovery in the U.S. and rest of the world 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 increased by $27.3 million and $63.0 million for the three and nine months ended October 1, 2010, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year, primarily due to increased sales in Engineering and Construction. Gross margin as a percentage of total revenue for the three months ended October 1, 2010 was 50.2%, as compared to 49.1% for the three months ended October 2, 2009. Gross margin as a percentage of total revenue for the nine months ended October 1, 2010 was 49.7%, as compared to 49.4% for the nine months ended October 2, 2009. The increase in gross margin percentage for the three and nine month periods ended October 1, 2010 was primarily due to product mix.

Operating Income

Operating income increased by $11.5 million and $35.2 million for the three and nine months ended October 1, 2010, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year, primarily due to higher revenue. Operating income as a percentage of total revenue was 10.0% for the three months ended October 1, 2010, as compared to 7.5% for the three months ended October 2, 2009. Operating income as a percentage of total revenue was 11.2% for the nine months ended October 1, 2010, as compared to 8.6% for the nine months ended October 2, 2009. The increase in operating income percentage for both the three and nine month periods was primarily due to higher revenue and increased operating leverage.

Results by Segment

To achieve distribution, marketing, production, and technology advantages in our targeted markets, we manage our operations in the following

four segments: Engineering and Construction, Field Solutions, Mobile Solutions, and Advanced Devices. Operating income equals net revenue less cost of sales and operating expense, excluding general corporate expense, amortization of purchased intangibles, amortization of inventory step-up, non-recurring acquisition costs, and restructuring charges.

Engineering and Construction

Engineering and Construction revenue increased by $40.2 million or 27% and $111.4 million or 26% for the three and nine months ended October 1, 2010, respectively, as compared to the same corresponding periods in fiscal 2009. Segment operating income increased $15.5 million or 73% and $46.5 million or 109% for the three and nine months ended October 1, 2010, respectively, as compared to the same corresponding periods in fiscal 2009.

The revenue growth for both the three months and nine month periods was primarily driven by a return to growth in the U.S. and rest of the world markets. Segment operating income for both the three and nine month periods increased primarily due to higher revenue and increased operating leverage.

Field Solutions

Field Solutions revenue increased by $11.6 million or 21% and $8.7 million or 4% for the three and nine months ended October 1, 2010, respectively, as compared to the same corresponding periods in fiscal 2009. Segment operating income increased by $4.7 million or 29% and $0.7 million or 1% for the three and nine months ended October 1, 2010, respectively, as compared to the same corresponding periods in fiscal 2009.

The revenue growth for both the three month and nine month periods was primarily driven by new products and increased farmer demand for agricultural products. Operating income for the three and nine month periods increased primarily due to higher revenue in our agricultural business.

Mobile Solutions

Mobile Solutions revenue decreased by $1.9 million or 5% and $3.1 million or 3% for the three and nine months ended October 1, 2010, respectively, as compared to the same corresponding period in fiscal 2009. Segment operating income decreased by $3.5 million or 102% and $8.0 million or 79% for the three and nine months ended October 1, 2010, respectively, as compared to the same corresponding periods in fiscal 2009.

The revenue decline for the three month period was primarily due to the impact of lower subscription service revenue due to the loss of a large customer contract, partially offset by earlier recognition of hardware revenue in accordance with the new revenue accounting guidance adopted on January 2, 2010 and the impact of acquisition revenue. The revenue decline for the nine month period was primarily due to the impact of lower subscription service revenue due to the customer contract loss, partially offset by the earlier recognition of hardware revenue and the impact of acquisition revenue. The operating income decline for the three and nine month periods was primarily due to a reduction in higher margin subscription service revenue, slightly offset by an increase in lower margin hardware revenue.

Advanced Devices

Advanced Devices revenue decreased by $1.4 million or 6% and increased by $4.9 million or 7% for the three and nine months ended October 1, 2010, respectively, as compared to the same corresponding periods in fiscal 2009. Segment operating income decreased by $0.4 million or 9% and increased by $1.2 million or 9% for three and nine months ended October 1, 2010, respectively, as compared to the same corresponding periods in fiscal 2009.

The decrease in revenue for the three month period was primarily due to lower sales in our military advanced systems business. The revenue increase for the nine month period was driven by a return to growth in both our component and GNSS position and orientation systems. Operating income was slightly down for the three month periods due to lower revenue in our military advanced systems business. Operating income increased in the nine month period primarily due to the increase in revenue, partially offset by increased sales expense.

Research and Development, Sales and Marketing, and General and Administrative Expense

Research and development (R&D), sales and marketing (S&M), and general and administrative (G&A) expense are summarized in the following table:


	Three Months Ended						Nine Months Ended
(Dollars in thousands)	October 1, 2010			October 2, 2009			October 1, 2010			October 2, 2009

Percentage of revenue		38	%		38	%		36	%		37	%

Overall, R&D, S&M, and G&A expense increased by approximately $16.3 million and $30.5 million for the three and nine months ended October 1, 2010, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in fiscal 2009.

Research and development expense increased by $3.6 million and $8.5 million for the three and nine month periods ended October 1, 2010, respectively, as compared to the same corresponding periods in fiscal 2009, primarily due to increased outside engineering service and prototype expense, increased compensation expense, the inclusion of expense from acquisitions not included in the prior year, and foreign currency exchange rates. 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% and 11% of revenue in the three and nine months ended October 1, 2010, as compared to 12% in the corresponding periods in fiscal 2009.

* 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 increased by $6.2 million and $12.4 million for the three and nine months ended October 1, 2010, respectively, as compared to the same corresponding periods in fiscal 2009. The increase was primarily due to increased compensation expense, the inclusion of expense from acquisitions not applicable in the prior year, and travel and trade show expense. Spending overall was at approximately 17% and 16% of revenue in the three and nine months ended October 1, 2010, as compared to 17% and 16% in the same corresponding periods in fiscal 2009.

* 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 $6.4 million and $9.6 million for the three and nine months ended October 1, 2010, respectively, as compared to the same corresponding periods in fiscal 2009 primarily due to increased compensation expense and the inclusion of expense from acquisitions not applicable in the prior year. Spending overall was at approximately 9% of revenue in the three and nine months ended October 1, 2010, as compared to 9% in the same corresponding period in fiscal 2009.

Amortization of Purchased Intangible Assets

* Amortization of purchased intangible assets was $14.4 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2010, as compared to $13.6 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2009. Of the total $14.4 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2010, $8.1 million is presented as a separate line within Operating expense and $6.3 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 2009. As of October 1, 2010, future amortization of intangible assets is expected to be $14.7 million during the remaining one quarter of fiscal 2010, $55.3 million during 2011, $47.5 million during 2012, $42.2 million during 2013, $20.3 million during 2014, and $23.2 million thereafter.

Restructuring Charges

Restructuring expense for the three and nine months ended October 1, 2010 and October 2, 2009 was as follows:


	Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended

Non-operating Income, Net

The components of non-operating income, net, were as follows:


	Three Months Ended						Nine Months Ended
(Dollars in thousands)	October 1, 2010			October 2, 2009			October 1, 2010			October 2, 2009
Interest income	$	221		$	124		$	864		$	546
Interest expense		(576	)		(450	)		(1,385	)		(1,408	)
Foreign currency transaction gain (loss)		77			792			(1,046	)		760

Other income, net		3,533			988			3,022			1,476

Total non-operating income, net	$	6,659		$	1,396		$	10,480		$	1,795

Non-operating income, net increased $5.3 million and $8.7 million for the three and nine months of fiscal 2010, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in fiscal 2009. The increase in the three months and nine month periods was primarily due to higher income from joint ventures and changes in deferred compensation plan asset gains (losses) included in Other income, net, partially offset by a change in foreign currency gains (losses).

Income Tax Provision

The Company’s effective income tax rate for the three and nine months ended October 1, 2010 was 14.3% and 43.0%, respectively, as compared to 26.5% and 27.0%, respectively, for the three and nine months ended October 2, 2009. The effective income tax rate for the three months ended October 1, 2010 was lower than the statutory federal income tax rate of 35%, primarily due to the geographical mix of the Company’s per-tax income. The effective income tax rate for the nine months ended October 1, 2010 was higher than the statutory federal income tax rate primarily due to the net impact of the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS) audit settlement in the second quarter of 2010, partially offset by geographical mix of the Company’s pre-tax income. The effective income tax rate for the three and nine months ended October 2, 2009 was lower than the statutory federal income tax rate primarily due to the geographical mix of the Company’s 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 1, 2010 and January 2, 2009.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

As of October 1, 2010, cash and cash equivalents totaled $211.1 million as compared to $273.8 million at January 1, 2010. Debt was $153.1 million as of October 1, 2010, as compared to $151.5 million at January 1, 2010.

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

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

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

Operating Activities

Cash provided by operating activities was $87.0 million for the nine months ended October 1, 2010, as compared to $139.1 million for the nine months ended October 2, 2009. This decrease of $52.1 million was primarily driven by an increase in accounts receivable due to higher revenue, an increase in inventory spending, and the IRS tax settlement, offset by an increase in accounts payable and accrued compensation and benefits.

Investing Activities

Cash used in investing activities was $109.1 million for the nine months ended October 1, 2010, as compared to $86.7 million for the nine months ended October 2, 2009. The increase of $22.5 million was due to higher cash requirements for business and for intangible asset acquisitions.

Financing Activities

Cash used by financing activities was $40.5 million for the nine months ended October 1, 2010, as compared to cash provided of $14.8 million for the nine months ended October 2, 2009. The decrease of $55.3 million was primarily due to the stock repurchases in the first nine months of fiscal 2010.

Accounts Receivable and Inventory Metrics


As of	October 1, 2010		January 1, 2010
Accounts receivable days sales outstanding		66		66
Inventory turns per year		3.9		3.4

Accounts receivable days sales outstanding were both 66 days as of October 1, 2010 and January 2, 2009. 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 3.9 As of October 1, 2010, as compared to 3.4 as of January 1, 2010. Our inventory turnover is calculated based on total cost of sales for the most recent twelve months divided by average ending inventory, net, for this same twelve month period.

Debt

As of October 1, 2010, 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 1, 2010 and January 1, 2010 we had notes payable totaling approximately $2.1 million and $0.5 million, respectively. Our outstanding notes payable as of October 1, 2010 consisted primarily of notes payable to noncontrolling interest holders of one of our consolidated subsidiaries. The notes bear interest at 6% and have undefined payment terms, but are callable with a six month notification. Our outstanding notes payable balance as of January 1, 2010 consisted primarily 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 for paying off other debts or loans. The maximum leverage ratio under the 2007 Credit Facility is 3.00:1.00. The funds available under the new 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 1, 2010 we were in compliance with all financial debt covenants.

RECONCILIATION OF GAAP TO NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

The following presentation includes non-GAAP measures. Our non-GAAP measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP measures. The non-GAAP financial measures included in the below tables are non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP non-operating income, net, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP diluted net income per share and operating leverage, and non-GAAP segment operating income before corporate allocations. These non-GAAP measures can be used to evaluate our historical and prospective financial performance, as well as our performance relative to competitors. We believe some of its investors track our “core operating performance” as a means of evaluating our performance in the ordinary, ongoing, and customary course of our operations. Management also believes that looking at our core operating performance provides a supplemental way to provide consistency in period to period comparisons. Accordingly, management excludes from non-GAAP those items relating to restructuring, amortization of purchased intangibles, stock based compensation, amortization of acquisition-related inventory step-up, non-recurring acquisition costs, and a $27.5 million charge associated with the IRS settlement, which we believe are not indicative of our core operating performance. For a detailed explanations of the adjustments made to comparable GAAP measures, see items (A) — (G) below.

Restructuring. Included in our GAAP presentation of cost of sales and operating expenses, restructuring costs recorded are primarily for employee compensation resulting from reductions in employee headcount in connection with our company restructurings. We exclude restructuring costs from our non-GAAP measures because we believe they are not indicative of our core operating performance.

Amortization of purchased intangibles. Included in our GAAP presentation of cost of sales and operating expenses, amortization of purchased intangibles recorded arises from prior acquisitions and are non-cash in nature. We exclude these expenses from our non-GAAP measures because we believe they are not indicative of our core operating performance.

Stock-based compensation. Included in our GAAP presentation of cost of sales and operating expenses, stock-based compensation consists of expenses for employee stock options and awards and purchase rights under our employee stock purchase plan. We exclude stock-based compensation expense from our non-GAAP measures because some investors may view it as not reflective of our core operating performance as it is a non-cash expense. For the three months ended October 1, 2010 and October 2, 2009, stock-based compensation was allocated as follows:


	Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended
(Dollars in thousands)	October 1, 2010		October 2, 2009		October 1, 2010		October 2, 2009
Cost of sales	$	485	$	453	$	1,472	$	1,368
Research and development		968		866		2,899		2,504
Sales and Marketing		1,283		1,134		4,013		3,200
General and administrative		2,804		2,088		7,781		6,249

	$	5,540	$	4,541	$	16,165	$	13,321

Amortization of acquisition-related inventory step-up. The purchase accounting entries associated with our business acquisitions require us to record inventory at its fair value, which is sometimes greater than the previous book value of the inventory. Included in our GAAP presentation of cost of sales, the increase in inventory value is amortized to cost of sales over the period that the related product is sold. We exclude inventory step-up amortization from our non-GAAP measures because we do not believe it is indicative of our core operating performance.

Non-recurring acquisition (gains) costs. Included in our GAAP presentation of operating expenses and non-operating income, net, non-recurring acquisition costs consist of external and incremental costs resulting directly from merger and acquisition activities such as legal, due diligence and integration costs. Also included are unusual acquisition related items such as adjustments to the fair value of earnout liabilities and payments made to settle earnout and holdback disputes. We exclude these items because they are non-recurring and unique to specific acquisitions and are not indicative of our core operating performance.

Income tax effect on non-GAAP adjustments. This amount adjusts the provision for income taxes to reflect the effect of the non-GAAP adjustments on non-GAAP net income. In addition, the nine months ended October 1, 2010 include the net impact of the $27.5 million associated with the IRS audit settlement.

Stock-based Compensation. The amounts consist of expenses for employee stock options and awards and purchase rights under our employee stock purchase plan. As referred to above we exclude stock-based compensation here because investors may view it as not reflective of our core operating performance. However, management does include stock-based compensation for budgeting and incentive plans as well as for reviewing internal financial reporting. We discuss our operating results by segment with and without stock-based compensation expense, as we believe it is useful to investors. Stock-based compensation not allocated to the reportable segments was approximately $1.9 million and $1.3 million for the three months ended October 1, 2010 and October 2, 2009, respectively and $5.7 million and $4.0 million for the nine months ended October 1, 2010 and October 2, 2009, respectively.

Non-GAAP Operating Income

Non-GAAP operating income increased by $12.6 million for the three months ended October 1, 2010, as compared to the corresponding period in the prior year. Non-GAAP Operating income as a percentage of total revenue was 16.5% for the three months ended October 1, 2010, as compared to 14.8% for the three months ended October 2, 2009. Non-GAAP operating income increased by $33.0 million for the nine months ended October 1, 2010, as compared to the corresponding period in the prior year. Non-GAAP Operating income as a percentage of total revenue was 17.6% for the nine months ended October 1, 2010, as compared to 16.3% for the nine months ended October 2, 2009.The increase in operating income for both the three and nine month periods was primarily driven by higher revenue in Engineering and Construction. The increase in operating income percentage for both the three and nine month periods was primarily due to increased operating leverage in Engineering and Construction.
