Technology Overview
A significant portion of our revenue is derived from applying Global Navigation Satellite System, (GNSS)or GNSS, technology to terrestrial applications. The GNSS includes the GPS network of 24 orbiting U.S. basedGlobal Positioning System, or GPS, radio navigation satellites and associated ground control that is funded and maintained by the U. S.U.S. Government and is available worldwide free of charge,direct user fees, and the Russian GLONASS radio navigation satellite based system. Both Europethe European Community and China have announced plans to establish future operational satelliteradio navigation basedsatellite systems. GNSS positioning is based on a technique that precisely measures distances from four or more satellites. The satellites continuously transmit precisely timed radio signals using extremely accurate atomic clocks. A GNSS receiver measures distances from the satellites in view by determining the travel time of a signal from the satellite to the receiver, and then uses those distances to compute its position. Under normal circumstances, a stand-alone GNSS receiver is able to calculate its position at any point on earth, in the earth'searth’s atmosphere, or in lower earth orbit, to approximately 10 meters, 24 hours a day. Much better accuracies are possible through a technique called “differential GNSS.” In addition to providing position, GNSS provides extremely accurate time measurement.
GNSS accuracy is dependent upon the locations of the receiver and the number of GNSS satellites that are above the horizon at any given time. Reception of GNSS signals requires line-of-sight visibility between the satellites and the receiver, which can be blocked by buildings, hills, and dense foliage. The receiver must have a line of sight to at least four satellites to determine its latitude, longitude, attitude (angular orientation), and time. The accuracy of GNSS may also be limited by distortion of GNSS signals from ionospheric and other atmospheric conditions.
Our GNSS products are based on proprietary receiver technology. Over time, the advances in positioning, wireless communications, and information technologies have enabled us to add more capability to our products and thereby deliver more value to our users. GPS is being modernized and GLONASS modernization is planned. For example, the developments in wireless technology and deployments of next generation wireless
networks have enabled less expensive wireless communications. These developments provide the efficient transfer of position data to locations away from the positioning field device, allowing the data to be accessed by more users, thereby increasing productivity. This allows us to integrate visualization and design software into some of our systems, as well as offersoffer positioning services, all of which make our customers more efficient at what they do.
Our laser and optical products either measure distances and angles to provide a position in three dimensional space or they provideare used as highly accurate laser references from which a position can be established. The key elementelements of these products isare typically a laser, which is generally a commercially available laser diode, and a complex mechanical assembly. These elements are augmented by software algorithms.
Our software products deliver solutions to our customers to optimize their business processes and workflows to improve productivity. Our software products range from field service and location oriented solutions on handheld and other small footprint devices, to scaleable server based solutions that integrate field data with enterprise back office applications. These software solutions are built on configurable and enterprise grade scalable platforms that can be tailored to the workflows that our customers follow to implement their customized business processes. They also integrate various field devices and data collection points to provide a connected view of various field assets and activities. Our core software solutions are included as embedded firmware. We also complement our core offerings with other elective software that are delivered as either licensed software or in a hosted environment using Software as a Service, or SaaS model. Our mobile resource management suite of products is a subscription based SaaS offering. Our software products, whether they run on a device, on a backend server behind the firewall or in our hosting center, allow our customers to derive the best results out of our GNSS, laser, optical and handheld products.

Seasonality of Business
*
Our individual segmentBacklog
In most of our markets, the time between order placement and shipment is short. Orders are generally placed by customers on an as-needed basis. In general, customers may cancel or reschedule orders without penalty. For these reasons, we do not believe that orders are an accurate measure of backlog and, therefore, we believe that backlog is not a meaningful indicator of future revenuesrevenue or material to understanding our business.

RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
You should carefully consider the following risk factors, in addition to the other information contained in this Form 10-K and in any other documents to which we refer you in this Form 10-K, before purchasing our securities. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones we face.
Our Inability to Accurately Predict Orders and Shipments May Subject Our Results of Operations to Significant Fluctuations From Quarter to Quarter
We have not been able in the past to consistently predict when our customers will place orders and request shipments so that we cannot always accurately plan our manufacturing requirements. As a result, if orders and shipments differ from what we predict, we may incur additional expensesexpense and build excess inventory, which may require additional reserves and allowances. Accordingly, we have limited visibility into future changes in demand and our results of operations may be subject to significant fluctuations from quarter to quarter.
Due in part to the buying patterns of our customers, a significant portion of our quarterly revenuesrevenue occurs from orders received and immediately shipped to customers in the last few weeks and days of each quarter, although our operating expenses tendexpense tends to remain fairly predictable. Engineering and constructionConstruction purchases tend to occur in early spring, and governmental agencies tend to utilize funds available at the end of the government’s fiscal year for additional purchases at the end of our third fiscal quarter in September of each year. Concentrations of orders sometimes also occur at the end of our other two fiscal quarters. Additionally, a majority of our sales force earns commissions on a quarterly basis which may cause concentrations of orders at the end of any fiscal quarter. It could harm our operating results if for any reason expected sales are deferred, orders are not received, or shipments are delayed a few days at the end of a quarter.
In addition, our operations and performance depend on worldwide economic conditions and their impact on levels of business spending. In the recent past, uncertainties in the financial and credit markets have caused our customers to postpone purchases, and negative economic conditions may reduce future sales of, or demand for, our products and services. In addition, negative economic conditions may depress the tax revenues of federal, state and local government entities, which are significant purchasers of our products. With the exception primarily of our Mobile Solutions and Advanced Devices segments, our products are generally sold through a dealer channel, and our dealers depend on the availability of credit to finance purchases of our products for their inventory.
Customer collections are our primary source of cash. While we believe we have a strong customer base and have experienced strong collections in the past, negative economic conditions may result in increased collection times or greater write-offs, which could have a material adverse effect on our cash flow. Any write-off of goodwill could also negatively impact our financial results. These and other economic factors could have a material adverse effect on demand for our products and services and on our financial condition and operating results.
We Are Dependent on a Specific Manufacturer and Assembler for Many of Our Products and on Other Manufacturers, and Specific Suppliers of Critical Parts for Our Products
We are substantially dependent upon Flextronics International Limited as our preferred manufacturing partner for many of our GPS products. Under the agreement, we provide to Flextronics a twelve-month product forecast and place purchase orders with Flextronics at least thirty calendar days in advance of the scheduled delivery of products to our customers, depending on production lead time. Although purchase orders placed with Flextronics are cancelable, the terms of the agreement would require us to purchase from Flextronics all inventory not returnable or usable by other Flextronics customers. Accordingly, if we inaccurately forecast demand for our products, we may be unable to obtain adequate manufacturing capacity from Flextronics to meet customers’ delivery requirements or we may accumulate excess inventories, if such inventories are not usable by other Flextronics customers. Our current contract with Flextronics continues in effect until either party gives the other ninety days written notice.
We rely on specific suppliers for a number of our critical components and on other contract manufacturers for the manufacture, test and assembly of certain products and components. We have experienced shortages of components in the past. Our current reliance on specific or a limited group of suppliers and contract manufacturers involves several risks, including a potential inability to obtain an adequate supply of required components, and reduced control over pricing.pricing and delivery schedules, discontinuation of certain components, and economic conditions which may adversely impact the viability of our suppliers and contract manufacturers. This situation may be exacerbated during any period of economic recovery or a competitive environment. Any inability to obtain adequate deliveries or any other circumstance that would require us to seek alternative sources of supply or to manufacture, assemble and test such components internally could significantly delay our ability to ship our products, which could damage relationships with current and prospective customers and could harm our reputation and brand as well as our operating results.
Our Annual and Quarterly Performance May Fluctuate Which Could Negatively Impact Our Operations and Our Stock Price
Our operating results have fluctuated and can be expected to continue to fluctuate in the future on a quarterly and annual basis as a result of a number of factors, many of which are beyond our control. Results in any period could be affected by:
changes in market demand,
competitive market conditions,
fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates,
the cost and availability of components,
the mix of our customer base and sales channels,
the mix of products sold,
pricing of products,
our ability to expand our sales and marketing organization effectively,
our ability to attract and retain key technical and managerial employees, and
general global economic conditions.
In addition, demand for our products in any quarter or year may vary due to the seasonal buying patterns of our customers in the agricultural and engineering and construction industries. The price of our common stock could decline substantially in the event such fluctuations result in our financial performance being below the expectations of public market analysts and investors, which are based primarily on historical models that are not necessarily accurate representations of the future.
Our future revenue stream depends to a large degree on our ability to bring new products to market on a timely basis. We must continue to make significant investments in research and development in order to continue to develop new products, enhance existing products, and achieve market acceptance of such products. We may incur problems in the future in innovating and introducing new products. Our development stage products may not be successfully completed or, if developed, may not achieve significant customer acceptance. If we were unable to successfully define, develop and introduce competitive new products, and enhance existing products, our future results of operations would be adversely affected. Development and manufacturing schedules for technology products are difficult to predict, and we might not achieve timely initial customer shipments of new products. The timely availability of these products in volume and their acceptance by customers are important to our future success. If we are unable to introduce new products, if other companies develop similar technology products, or if we do not develop compelling new products, theour number of customers may not grow as anticipated, or may decline, which could harm our operating results.
We Are Dependent on Proprietary Technology, which Could Result in Litigation that Could Divert Significant Valuable Resources and Impair Our Liquidity
Our future success and competitive position is dependent upon our proprietary technology, and we rely on patent, trade secret, trademark, and copyright law to protect our intellectual property. The patents owned or licensed by us may be invalidated, circumvented, and challenged. The rights granted under these patents may not provide competitive advantages to us. Any of our pending or future patent applications may not be issued within the scope of the claims sought by us, if at all.
Despite our efforts to protect our intellectual property rights, unauthorized parties may attempt to copy or otherwise obtain our software or develop software with the same functionality or to obtain and use information that we regard as proprietary. Others may develop technologies that are similar or superior to our technology, duplicate our technology or design around the patents owned by us. In addition, effective copyright, patent, and trade secret protection may be unavailable, limited or not applied for in certain countries. The steps taken by us to protect our technology might not prevent the misappropriation of such technology.
The value of our products relies substantially on our technical innovation in fields in which there are many current patent filings. We recognize that as new patents are issued or are brought to our attention by the holders of such patents, it may be necessary for us to withdraw products from the market, take a license from such patent holders, or redesign our products. We do not believe any of our products currently infringe patents or other proprietary rights of third parties, but we cannot be certain they do not do so. In addition, the legal costs and engineering time required to safeguard intellectual property or to defend against litigation could become a significant expense of operations. Any such litigation could require us to incur substantial costs and divert
significant valuable resources, including the efforts of our technical and management personnel, which may impairharm our liquidity.
Investing in and Integrating New Acquisitions Could be Costly and May Place a Significant Strain on Our Management Systems and Resources
We have recently acquired a number of companies, including @Road, and intend to continue to acquire other companies. Acquisitions of companies entail numerous risks, including:
potential inability to successfully integrate acquired operations and products or to realize cost savings or other anticipated benefits from integration,
loss |
the difficulty of assimilating geographically dispersed operations and personnel of the acquired companies,
the potential disruption of our ongoing business,
unanticipated expense related to acquisitions; including significant transactions costs which under the current accounting rules, are required to be expensed rather than capitalized,
the correct assessment of the relative percentages of in-process research and development expense that can be immediately written off as compared to the amount which must be amortized over the appropriate life of the asset,
the impairment of relationships with employees and customers of either an acquired company or our own business, and
the potential unknown liabilities associated with acquired business.
As a result of such acquisitions, we have significant assets that include goodwill and other purchased intangibles. The testing of thesethis goodwill and intangibles for impairment under established accounting guidelines for impairment requires significant use of judgment and assumptions. Changes in business conditions could require adjustments to the valuation of these assets. In addition, losses incurred by a company in which we have an investment may have a direct impact on our financial statements or could result in our having to write-down the value of such investment. Any such problems in integration or adjustments to the value of the assets acquired could harm our growth strategy, and could be costly and place a significant strain on our management systems and resources.
Our Products May Contain Undetected Errors, Product Defects or Defects,Software Errors, which Could Result in Damage to Our Reputation, Lost Revenues,Revenue, Diverted Development Resources and Increased Service Costs, Warranty Claims, and Litigation
We warrant that our products will be free of defect for various periods of time, depending on the product. In addition, certain of our contracts include epidemic failure clauses. If invoked, these clauses may entitle the customer to return or obtain credits for products and inventory, or to cancel outstanding purchase orders even if the products themselves are not defective.
We must develop our products quickly to keep pace with the rapidly changing market, and we have a history of frequently introducing new products. Products and services as sophisticated as ours could contain undetected errors or defects, especially when first introduced or when new models or versions are released. In general, our products may not be free from errors or defects after commercial shipments have begun, which could result in damage to our reputation, lost revenues,revenue, diverted development resources, increased customer service and support costs, and warranty claims, and litigation.
We Are Dependent on the Availability of Allocated Bands within the Radio Frequency Spectrum
Our GNSS technology is dependent on the use of satellite signals from space and on terrestrial communication bands. International allocations of radio frequency are made by the International Telecommunications Union (ITU), a specialized technical agency of the United Nations. These allocations are further governed by radio regulations that have treaty status and which may be subject to modification every two to three years by the World Radio Communication Conference. Each country also has regulatory authority on how each band is used.
Any ITU or local reallocation of radio frequency bands, including frequency band segmentation orand sharing of spectrum, or other modifications of the permitted uses of relevant frequency bands, may materially and adversely affect the utility and reliability of our products. products and have significant negative impacts on our customers. For example, the FCC is currently considering a proposal by a private party, Lightsquared, to repurpose spectrum adjacent to the GPS bands for terrestrial broadband wireless operations in metropolitan
areas throughout the United States. If the FCC were to permit implementation of Lightsquared’s proposal as is, terrestrial broadband wireless operations would create harmful interference to GPS receivers within range of such operations.
Many of our products use other radio frequency bands, together with the GNSS signal, to provide enhanced GNSS capabilities, such as real-time kinematickinematics precision. The continuing availability of these non-GNSS radio frequencies is essential to provide enhanced GNSS products to our precision survey, agriculture, and construction machine controls markets. In addition, emissions from other services and equipment operating in adjacent frequency bands or in-band may impair the utility and reliability of our products. Any regulatory changes in spectrum allocation or in allowable operating conditions could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
We have certain products, such as GPS RTK systems, and surveying and mapping systems that use integrated radio communication technology requiring access to available radio frequencies allocated to local government. Some bands are experiencing congestion. In the US,U.S., the FCC announced that it will require migration of radio technology from wideband to narrowband operations in these bands. The rules require, by 2013, either migration of users to narrowband channels or utilization by 2011. Inusers of technology that achieves equivalent efficiency to narrowband channels. Congestion in the meantime, congestionchannels could cause FCC coordinators to restrict or refuse licenses. An inability to obtain access to these radio frequencies by end users could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
Many of Our Products Rely on GNSS technology, the GPS, and other Satellite Systems, Which May Become Inoperable and Result in Lost Revenue
GNSS technology, GPS satellites and their ground support systems are complex electronic systems subject to electronic and mechanical failures and possible sabotage. TheMany of the GPS satellites currently in orbit were originally designed to have lives of 7.5 years and are subject to damage by the hostile space environment in which they operate. However, of the current deployment of 30 satellites in place, some have already been in operation for more than 12 years. To repair damaged or malfunctioning satellites is currently not economically feasible. If a significant number of satellites were to become inoperable, there could be a substantial delay before they are replaced with new satellites. A reduction in the number of operating satellites may impair the current utility of the GPS system and the growth of current and additional market opportunities.
As the only complete GNSS currently in operation, we are dependent on continued operation of GPS. GPS is operated by the U. S. Government, which is committed to maintenance and improvement of GPS; however if the policy were to change, and GPS were no longer supported by the U. S. Government, or if user fees were imposed, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
Many of our products also use signals from systems that augment GPS, such as the Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS) and National Differential GPS System (NDGPS).System. Many of these augmentation systems are operated by the federal government and rely on continued funding and maintenance of these systems. In addition, some of our products also use satellite signals from the Russian GlonassGLONASS System. Any curtailment of the operating capability of these systems could result in decreased user capability thereby impacting our markets.
The European governments havecommunity has begun development of an independent radio navigation satellite navigation system, known as Galileo. We have access to the preliminary signal design, which is subject to change.change and which requires a commercial license from Galileo authorities. Although an operational Galileo system is several years away, if we are unable to develop a timely commercial product, or obtain a timely commercial license, it could result in lost revenue which could harm our results of operations and financial condition.
Our Business is Subject to Disruptions and Uncertainties Caused by War, Terrorism, or Terrorism
Acts of war, or acts of terrorism, or other circumstances of civil unrest, especially any directed at the GPS signals, could have a material adverse impact on our business, operating results, and financial condition. The threat of terrorism and war and heightened security and military response to this threat, or any future acts of terrorism, may invoke a redeployment of the satellites used in GPS or interruptions of the system. Civil unrest or other political activities may impact regional economies through work stoppages and limitations on foreign business transactions. To the extent that such interruptions result in delays or cancellations of orders, or the manufacture or shipment of our products, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
We Are Exposed to Fluctuations in Currency Exchange Rates and Although We Hedge Against These Risks, Our Attempts to Hedge Could be Unsuccessful and Expose Us to Losses
A significant portion of our business is conducted outside the U.S., and as such, we face exposure to movements in non-U.S. currency exchange rates. These exposures may change over time as business practices evolve and could have a material adverse impact on our financial results and cash flows. Fluctuation in currency impacts our operating results.
Currently, we hedge only those currency exposures associated with certain assets and liabilities denominated in non-functional currencies. The hedging activities undertaken by us are intended to offset the impact of currency fluctuations on certain non-functional currency assets and liabilities. Our attempts to hedge against these risks could be unsuccessful and expose us to losses.
Our Debt Could Adversely Affect Our Cash Flow and Prevent Us from Fulfilling Our Financial Obligations
We have an existing $200 million unsecured revolving credit agreement, under which we have an ability to borrow an aggregate availabilityamount of up to $300 million. Our debtAs of December 31, 2010, $151.0 million was outstanding under this line of credit. Debt incurred under this agreement could have important consequences, such as:
requiring us to dedicate a portion of our cash flow from operations and other capital resources to debt service, thereby reducing our ability to fund working capital, capital expenditures, and other cash requirements,
increasing our vulnerability to adverse economic and industry conditions,
limiting our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes and opportunities in, our industry, which may place us at a competitive disadvantage, and
limiting our ability to incur additional debt on acceptable terms, if at all.
Additionally, if we were to default under our amended credit agreement and were unable to obtain a waiver for such a default, interest on the obligations would accrue at an increased rate and the lenders could accelerate our obligations under the amended credit agreement, however that acceleration will be automatic in the case of bankruptcy and insolvency events of default. Additionally, our subsidiaries that have guaranteed the amended credit agreement could be required to pay the full amount of our obligations under the amended credit agreement. Any such action on the part of the lenders against us could harm our financial condition.
We believe that in certain business opportunities our success will depend on our ability to form and maintain alliances with industry participants, such as Caterpillar, Nikon, and CNH Global. Our failure to form and maintain such alliances, or the pre-emption of such alliances by actions of competitors or us, will adversely affect our ability to penetrate emerging markets. We also utilize dealer networks, including those affiliated with some of our strategic allies such as Caterpillar and CNH Global, to market, sell and service some of our products. Disruption of dealer coverage within a specific geographic market could cause difficulties in marketing, selling or servicing our products and have an adverse effect on our business, operating results or financial condition. Moreover, dealers who carry products that compete with our products may focus their inventory purchases and sales efforts on goods provided by competitors due to industry demand or profitability. Such inventory adjustments and sourcing decisions can adversely impact our sales, financial condition and results of operations. If we experience problems from current or future alliances or our dealer network, it could harm our operating results and we may not be able to realize value from any such strategic alliances.
We Face Competition in Our Markets Which Could Decrease Our RevenuesRevenue and Growth Rates or Impair Our Operating Results and Financial Condition
Our markets are highly competitive and we expect that both direct and indirect competition will increase in the future. Our overall competitive position depends on a number of factors including the price, quality and performance of our products, the level of customer service, the development of new technology and our ability to participate in emerging markets. Within each of our markets, we encounter direct competition from other GPS, software, optical and laser suppliers and competition may intensify from various larger U.S. and non-U.S. competitors and new market entrants, particularly from emerging markets such as China and India. The competition in the future may, in some cases, result in price reductions, reduced margins or loss of market share, any of which could decrease our revenuesrevenue and growth rates or impair our operating results and financial condition. We believe that our ability to compete successfully in the future against existing and additional competitors will depend largely on our ability to execute our strategy to provide systems and products with significantly differentiated features compared to currently available products. We may not be able to implement this strategy successfully, and our products may not be competitive with other technologies or products that may
be developed by our competitors, many of whom have significantly greater financial, technical, manufacturing, marketing, sales, and other resources than we do.
Some of Our Software Relies On Third Party Technologies, including Open Source Software, and, If We Are Unable to Use or Integrate These Technologies, or If Our Software Becomes Incompatible with These Technologies ,Our Product and Services Development May be Delayed or Our Software May Fail.
We rely on software that we license from third parties, including software that is integrated with internally developed software and used in our products to perform key functions. These third party software licenses may not continue to be available to us on commercially reasonable terms, or at all, and the software may not be appropriately supported, maintained or enhanced by the licensors, resulting in development delays or software failure. Some of these software licenses are subject to annual renewals at the discretion of the licensors. In many cases, if we were to breach a provision of these license agreements, the licensor could terminate the agreement without penalty. We license technologies and patents underlying some of our software from third parties, and the loss of these licenses could have a material adverse effect on our business.
We also incorporate open source software into our products. Although we monitor our use of open source closely, the terms of many open source licenses have not been interpreted by U.S. courts, and there is a risk that such licenses could be construed in a manner that could impose unanticipated conditions or restrictions on our ability to market or sell our products or to develop new products. In such event, we could be required to seek licenses from third-parties in order to continue offering our products, to disclose and offer royalty-free licenses in connection with our own source code, to re-engineer our products or to discontinue the sale of our products in the event re-engineering cannot be accomplished on a timely basis, any of which could adversely affect our business.
Additionally, errors, viruses or bugs may also be present in software that we license from third parties and incorporate into our products or in third party software that our customers use in conjunction with our software. In addition, our customers’ proprietary software and network firewall protections may corrupt data from our products and create difficulties in implementing our solutions. Changes to third party software that our customers use in conjunction with our software could also render our applications inoperable. The loss of licenses to, or inability to support, maintain and enhance, any such software or any defects in, or compatibility issues with, any third party software could result in increased costs, or in delays or reductions in software releases or updates until such issues have been resolved, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and future prospects.
We Are Subject to the Impact of Governmental and Other Similar Certifications and Failure to Obtain the Requisite Certifications Could Harm Our Operating Results
We market certain products that are subject to governmental and similar certifications before they can be sold. For example, CE certification for radiated emissions is required for most GPS receiver and data communications products sold in the European Union.community. An inability to obtain such certifications in a timely manner could have an adverse effect on our operating results. Also, some of our products that use integrated radio communication technology require product type certification and some products require an end user to obtain licensing from the FCC for frequency-band usage. These are secondary licenses that are subject to certain restrictions. An inability or delay in obtaining such certifications or changes to the rules by the FCC could adversely affect our ability to bring our products to market which could harm our customer relationships and therefore, our operating results. Any failure to obtain the requisite certifications could also harm our operating results.
The Volatility of Our Stock Price Could Adversely Affect YourAn Investment in Our Common Stock
The market price of our common stock has been, and may continue to be, highly volatile. During fiscal 2007,2010, our stock price ranged from $25.47$22.85 to $57.41, on a post-split basis.$42.19. We believe that a variety of factors could cause the price of our common stock to fluctuate, perhaps substantially, including:
announcements and rumors of developments related to our business or the industry in which we compete,
quarterly fluctuations in our actual or anticipated operating results and order levels,
general conditions in the worldwide economy,
acquisition announcements,
new products or product enhancements by us or our competitors,
developments in patents or other intellectual property rights and litigation,
developments in our relationships with our customers and suppliers, and
any significant acts of terrorism.
In addition, in recent years the stock market in general and the markets for shares of "high-tech"“high-tech” companies in particular, have experienced extreme price fluctuations which have often been unrelated to the operating performance of affected companies. Any such fluctuations in the future could adversely affect the market price of our common stock, and the market price of our common stock may decline.
Changes in Our Charter DocumentsEffective Tax Rate May Reduce Our Net Income in Future Periods
A number of factors may increase our future effective tax rates, including:
the jurisdictions in which profits are determined to be earned and Under California Law Could Prevent or Delay a Changetaxed,
the resolution of Control, which Could Reduceissues arising from tax audits with various tax authorities,
changes in the Market Price of Our Common Stock
increases in expense not deductible for tax purposes, including transaction costs and impairments of incorporation, as amendedgoodwill in connection with acquisitions,
changes in available tax credits,
changes in share-based compensation,
changes in tax laws or the interpretation of such tax laws, and restated,changes in generally accepted accounting principles,
the repatriation of non-U.S. earnings for which we have not previously provided for U.S. taxes, and
challenges to the transfer pricing policies related to our bylaws, as amendedglobal supply chain management structure.
We are currently in various stages of multiple year examinations by federal, state, and restated,foreign taxing authorities, including an audit of our 2008 through 2009 tax years by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, or IRS. Among other things, the IRS is examining our intercompany transfer pricing. Our effective tax rate is based on the geographic mix of earnings, statutory rates, intercompany transfer pricing, and enacted tax rules. If the California General Corporation LawIRS or the taxing authorities of any other jurisdiction were to successfully challenge a material tax position, we could become subject to higher taxes and our earnings would be adversely affected. In addition, proposals for changes in U.S. tax laws that may be deemed to have an anti-takeover effect and could discourage a third party from acquiring,considered or make it more difficult for a third party to acquire, control of us without approval of our board of directors. These provisions could also limit the price that certain investors might be willing to payadopted in the future for shares of our common stock. Certaincould subject the Company to higher taxes or result in changes to tax law provisions allow the board of directors to authorize the issuance of preferred stock with rights superior to those of the common stock.

Stock Repurchase Program
In January 23, 2008, the Company announced that itsour board of directors has authorized a stock repurchase program, foror 2008 Stock Repurchase Program, authorizing us to repurchase up to $250 million effective February 1,of Trimble’s common stock under this program. We 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 in 2008. No shares of common stock were repurchased in 2009. We 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 in 2010. Since January 2008, we have 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 December 31, 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.
As of February 21, 2008,24, 2011, there were approximately 986888 holders of record of our common stock.
Dividend Policy
We have not declared or paid any cash dividends on our common stock during any period for which financial information is provided in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. At this time, we intend to retain future earnings, if any, to fund the development and growth of our business and do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future.
Under the existing terms of our credit facility, we are allowed to pay dividends and repurchase shares of our common stock without limitation so long as no default or unmatured default then existed, the leverage ratio for the two most recently completed periods was less than 2.00:1.00 and after giving pro forma effect to such dividend or share repurchase, the leverage ratio will be less than 2.00:1.00. Should the leverage ratio be equal to or greater than 2.00:1.00 without exceeding a leverage ratio of 3.00:1.00, we can pay dividends and repurchase
shares of our common stock in any twelve (12) month period, in an aggregate amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of net income (plus, to the extent deducted in determining net income for such period, non-cash expenses in respect of stock options) for the previous twelve month period. Also, we are allowed to spendtwelve-month period, plus an additional $50 million over the term of the credit facility subject to pay dividends and repurchase shares if we are inpro forma compliance with our fixed charge coverage ratio.

Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to these differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed below and those listed under "Risks“Risks Factors."
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, weWe 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.
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 fourthree categories.
Reinforcing our position in existing markets
*We believe that ourthese markets continue to be underpenetrated and provide us with additional, substantial potential for substituting our technology for traditional methods. In 2007, we continuedWe are continuing to develop new products and to strengthen our distribution channels in order to expand our market opportunity. A numbermarket. In our Engineering and Construction segment, we introduced new and enhanced systems for our Optical Total Station portfolio that provide better accuracy and improve surveyor productivity. We also introduced the new Trimble Tunnel Construction solution which streamlines the precision construction of road and railway tunnels. We released the new products such asgeneration of GPS Pathfinder®ProXRT receiver which provides decimeter accuracy and includes support for OmniSTAR, GLONASS, and Galileo with Trimble 360 receiver technology. We further expanded our network of SITECH Technology Dealers during the AgGPS EZ-Guide 500 system, Juno™ST handheld computer, Spectra Precision GL412year by adding more than thirty new SITECH dealerships. These dealers represent Trimble and 422 grade lasers, and Trimble CCS900 Compaction Control System, strengthened our competitive position and created new valueCaterpillar machine control systems for the user.contractor’s entire fleet of heavy equipment regardless of machine brand.
In our Field Solutions segment, the Agriculture division introduced additional capabilities for the Field-IQ crop input control system that allows operators to control the application rate of seed, liquid or granular materials, saving costs by preventing seed and fertilizer overlap. We also introduced the CFX-750 display, our newest touch screen display which offers affordable guidance, steering, and precision agriculture functionality and is compatible with the Field-IQ system. In the water management sector, we introduced EZ-Surface for farm surface and sub-surface drainage applications that will allow farmers and drainage contractors to analyze fields surveyed by viewing 3D models, as well as EZ-Sync, which will allow farmers and drainage contractors to wirelessly deliver completed drainage designs to the FmX displays via Trimble’s Connected Farm solutions.
In our Mobile Solutions segment, we introduced the SiteFID™ integrated gas monitoring solution for the environmental services market which provides consultants and landfill operators with an end-to-end solution. We also introduced the addition of the Trimble DriverSafety solution to our mobile resource management portfolio. The launch of this global safety initiative help fleets become safer, more productive and more fuel efficient by providing 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 new version of our post-processing software for mobile mapping and positioning, which is designed to enhance the productivity of mobile mapping and features an all-new inertially-aided precise point positioning engine and enhanced smoothing algorithm. We also introduced the Condor family of GPS modules which feature major advancements in signal tracking for applications working in poor signal environments.
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 revenuesrevenue by bringing new products to new and existing users. In fiscal 2007, we introducedour Engineering and Construction segment, our acquisition of Definiens’ Earth Sciences eCognition Software Assets expanded our GeoSpatial portfolio. Furthermore, the Trimble VX Spatial Stationacquisition of the Terralite XPS assets from Novariant expands our technology suite and improves the productivity of surface mining and other high-value site operations challenged by limited or no GPS coverage. The acquisition of Accubid broadens our industry leading “BIM to field” solutions for mechanical, electrical and plumbing contractors to automate project estimating and management, modeling, detailing, layout and construction. In our Mobile Solutions segment, our acquisition of Punch Telematix enables us to grow our European business by offering a suitefull solution set to both light commercial vehicle and heavy goods vehicle markets across Europe. In addition, our acquisition of interactive product training modulesTata AutoComp Mobility Telematics Limited allows us to further expand our broad range of telematics and other mobile resource management solutions for the engineeringIndian market. During the year, we also acquired Cengea Solutions which is a provider of spatially-enabled business operations and construction industry.
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 Asia Pacific, includingAfrica, China, India, the Middle-East and Russia. During the year, we formed a joint venture in Russia with Russian Space Systems which will be responsible for selling commercial GNSS geodetic network infrastructure systems localized for Russia and Europe, including Eastern Europe, all reflected improving financial results, with the promiseCommonwealth of moreIndependent States, or CIS. In addition, we continue our expansion of SITECH dealerships. During 2010, new SITECH locations were established in China, India, Brazil, Mexico, Russia, Indonesia, the future.
Our accounting policies are more fully described in Note 2 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements. The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principlesU.S. generally accepted in the United Statesaccounting principles requires us to make judgments, assumptions, and estimates that affect the amounts reported in the Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements. We consider the accounting polices described below to be our critical accounting polices.policies. These critical accounting policies are impacted significantly by judgments, assumptions, and estimates used in the preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements, and actual results could differ materially from the amounts reported based on these policies.
Revenue Recognition
We elected to early adopt new revenue accounting guidance related to arrangements with multiple deliverables at the beginning of our first quarter of fiscal 2010 on a prospective basis for applicable transactions originating or materially modified after January 1, 2010.
We recognize 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. We assess 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. We assess collectibility based primarily on the creditworthiness of the customer as determined by credit checks and analysis,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. We bear all costs and risks of loss or damage to the goods up to that point. Our shipment terms for U.S. orders and international orders fulfilled from our 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, we 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 the costCost of goods sold.
Revenue from sales 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/warranty or support period.
We present revenue net of sales taxes and any similar assessments.
Our software arrangements generally consist of a perpetual license fee and PCS. We generally have established vendor-specific objective evidence (VSOE) of fair value for our PCS contracts based on the renewal rates.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 therefair value has been established for all remaining undelivered elements.
Our multiple deliverable product offerings include hardware with embedded firmware, extended warranty and PCS services, which are no remaining obligations. Revenue from PCS is recognized ratably overconsidered separate units of accounting. For certain of our products, software and non-software components function together to deliver the termtangible product’s essential functionality.
Some of the PCS agreement.
In evaluating the revenue recognition for agreements which contain multiple deliverable arrangements, under the new accounting guidance, we determined that in certain instances we were not able to establish VSOE for some or all deliverables in an arrangement as we infrequently sold each element on a standalone basis, did not price products within a narrow range, or had a limited sales history. When VSOE cannot be established, we attempt 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, our 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, we are unable to reliably determine what similar competitor products’ selling prices are on a stand-alone basis. Therefore, we typically are not able to establish the selling price of an element based on TPE.
When we are unable to establish selling price using VSOE or TPE, we use our best estimate of selling price (BESP) in our allocation of arrangement consideration. The objective of BESP is to determine the price at which we would transact a sale if any. For upfront fees relatingthe 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. We determine BESP for a product or service by considering multiple factors including, but not limited to, propriety hardware wherepricing practices, market conditions, competitive landscape, internal costs, geographies and gross margin. The determination of BESP is made through consultation with and formal approval by our management, taking into consideration our go-to-market strategy.
Total revenue as reported and pro forma total revenues that would have been reported for the firmware is more than incidentalfiscal year ended December 31, 2010, if the transactions entered into after January 1, 2010 were subject to previous accounting guidance, are shown in the following table:

Product costs are also deferred and amortized over such period.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts and Sales Returns
Our accounts receivable balance, net of allowance for doubtful accounts and sales returns reserve, was $239.9$222.8 million as of December 28, 2007,31, 2010, as compared with $177.1$202.3 million as of December 29, 2006.January 1, 2010. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $5.2$3.4 million and $4.1$3.9 million as of December 28, 200731, 2010 and December 29, 2006,January 1, 2010, respectively. We evaluate theongoing collectibility of our trade accounts receivable based on a number of factors such as age of the accounts receivable balances, credit quality, historical experience, and current economic conditions that may affect a customer’s ability to pay. In circumstances where we are aware of a specific customer’s inability to meet its financial obligations to us, a specific allowance for bad debts is estimated and recorded which reduces the recognized receivable to the estimated amount we believe will ultimately be collected. In addition to specific customer identification of potential bad debts, bad debt charges are recorded based on our recent past loss history and an overall assessment of past due trade accounts receivable amounts outstanding.
A reserve for sales returns is established based on historical trends in product return rates experienced in the ordinary course of business. The reserve for sales returns as of December 28, 200731, 2010 and December 29, 2006 were $1.7January 1, 2010 was $1.6 million and $859,000,$1.7 million, respectively, for estimated future returns that were recorded as a reduction of our accounts receivable and revenue. If the actual future returns were to deviate from the historical data on which the reserve had been established, our revenue could be adversely affected.
Inventory Valuation
Our inventories, net balance was $143.0$192.9 million as of December 28, 200731, 2010 as compared with $112.6$144.0 million as of December 29, 2006.January 1, 2010. Our inventory allowances as of December 28, 200731, 2010 were $29.6$31.8 million, as compared with $28.6$28.1 million as of December 29, 2006.January 1, 2010. Our inventories are stated at the lower of standard cost (which approximates actual cost on a first-in, first-out basis) or market. Adjustments to reduce the cost of inventory to its net realizable value, if required, are made for estimated excess, obsolescence, or impaired balances. Factors influencing these adjustments include decline in demand, technological changes, product life cycle and development plans, component cost trends, product pricing, physical deterioration, and quality issues. If actual factors are less favorable than those projected by us, additional inventory write-downs may be required.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for under the liability method whereby deferred tax assets or liability account balances are calculated at the balance sheet date using current tax laws and rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce the carrying amounts of deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not such assets will not be realized.
Relative to uncertain tax positions, we only recognize the tax benefit if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such positions are then measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Our practice is to recognize interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense.
Our valuation allowance is primarily attributable to primarily, acquisition related Net Operating Lossacquired net operating losses and Researchresearch and Development Creditdevelopment credit carryforwards. Management believes that it is more likely than not that we will not realize these deferred tax assets, and, accordingly, a valuation allowance has been provided for such amounts. WhenBeginning in 2009, we adopted the tax attributes are utilized and therevised accounting guidance for business combinations, under which such valuation allowance is released,adjustments associated with an acquisition closing after January 3, 2009 (and after the benefit of the release of the valuation allowance will be accounted for as a credit to goodwill rather than as a reduction of themeasurement period) are recorded through income tax provisionexpense. Prior to January 3, 2009, these adjustments were required to be recognized by adjusting the purchase price related to the acquisition.
.
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired in a business combination. IntangibleBeginning in fiscal 2009, our identifiable intangible assets resulting from the acquisitions of entities accounted for using the purchase method of accounting are estimated by managementnow include in-process research and development based on the revised accounting guidance for business combinations. Intangible assets acquired individually, with a group of other assets, or in a business combination, are recorded at fair value of assets received.value. Identifiable intangible assets are comprised of distribution channels and distribution rights, patents, licenses, technology, acquired backlog, trademarks, and trademarks.in-process research and development. Identifiable intangible assets are being amortized over the period of estimated benefit using the straight-line method, reflecting the pattern of economic benefits associated with these assets, and have estimated
useful lives ranging from one to ten years with a weighted average useful life of 6.26.4 years. Goodwill is not subject to amortization, but is subject to at least an annual assessment for impairment, applying a fair-value based test.
We evaluate goodwill, at a minimum, on an annual basis and whenever events and changes in circumstances suggest that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. The annual goodwill impairment testing is performed in the fourth fiscal quarter of each year. Goodwill is reviewed for impairment utilizing a two-step process. First, impairment of goodwill is tested at the reporting unit level by comparing the reporting unit’s carrying amount, including goodwill, to the fair value of the reporting unit. The fair values of the reporting units are estimated using a discounted cash flow approach. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, a second step is performed to measure the amount of impairment loss, if any. In step two, the implied fair value of goodwill is calculated as the excess of the fair value of a reporting unit over the fair values assigned to its assets and liabilities. If the implied fair value of goodwill is less than the carrying value of the reporting unit’s goodwill, the difference is recognized as an impairment loss. Our evaluation resulted in no impairmentAs of goodwill.
Depreciation and amortization of the intangible assets and other long-lived assets is provided using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives, reflecting the pattern of economic benefits associated with these assets. Changes in circumstances such as technological advances, changes to our business model, or changes in the capital strategy could result in the actual useful lives of intangible assets or other long-lived assets differing from initial estimates. In those cases where we determine that the useful life of an asset should be revised, the net book value in excess of the estimated residual value will be expensed and the residual value is depreciated over its revised remaining useful life. These assets are evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable based on their future cash flows. The estimated future cash flows are based upon, among other things, assumptions about expected future operating performance and may differ from actual cash flows. The assets evaluated for impairment are grouped with other assets to the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other groups of assets and liabilities. If the sum of the projected undiscounted cash flows (excluding interest) is less than the carrying value of the assets, the assets will be written down to the estimated fair value. No indicators of impairment have been identified.
Warranty Costs
The liability for product warranties was $10.8$12.9 million as of December 28, 2007,31, 2010, as compared with $8.6$14.7 million as of December 29, 2006.January 1, 2010. We accrue for warranty costs as part of cost of sales based on associated material product costs, technical support labor costs, and costs incurred by third parties performing work on our behalf. Our expected future cost is primarily estimated based upon historical trends in the volume of product returns within the warranty period and the cost 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 we engage in extensive product quality programs and processes, including actively monitoring and evaluating the quality of our component suppliers, our 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 our estimates, revisions to the estimated warranty accrual and related costs may be required.
Stock-Based Compensation
We recognize compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to our employees and directors including stock option and rights to purchase shares under stock participation plans, based on estimated fair values. We adopted SFAS 123(R) using the modified prospective application method, under which prior periods are not revised for comparative purposes. Prior to fiscal 2006, we applied Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" (APB 25) and the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (SFAS 123). As a result, the Company’s financial statements for fiscal 2006 include stock-based compensation expenses that are not comparable to financial statements prior to fiscal 2006.
The determination of fair value of share-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model is affected by our stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of highly complex and subjective variables. These variables include our expected stock price volatility over the term of the awards, actual and projected employee stock option exercise behaviors, risk-free interest rates, and expected dividends. In addition, the binomial model incorporates actual option-pricing behavior and changes in volatility over the option’s contractual term.
Beginning in fiscal 2006, our expected stock price volatility for stock purchase rights ishas been based on implied volatilities of traded options on our stock and our expected stock price volatility for stock options is based on a combination of our historical stock price volatility for the period commensurate with the expected life of the stock option and the implied volatility of traded options. The use of implied volatilities was based upon the availability of actively traded options on our stock with terms similar to our awards and also upon our assessment that implied volatility is more representative of future stock price trends than historical volatility. However, because the expected life of our stock options is greater than the terms of our traded options, we used a combination of our historical stock price volatility commensurate with the expected life of our stock options and implied volatility of traded options. Prior to fiscal 2006, we used our historical stock price volatility in accordance with SFAS 123 for purposes of our pro-forma information.
We estimated the expected life of the awards based on an analysis of our historical experience of employee exercise and post-vesting termination behavior considered in relation to the contractual life of the options and purchase rights. The risk-free interest rate assumption is based upon observed interest rates appropriate for the expected term of the awards.
We do not currently pay cash dividends on our common stock and do not anticipate doing so in the foreseeable future. Accordingly, our expected dividend yield is zero.
Because stock-based compensation expense recognized in the Consolidated Statement of OperationsIncome for fiscal 20072010, 2009 and 20062008 is based on awards ultimately expected to vest, it has been reduced for estimated forfeitures. SFAS 123(R)The stock-based compensation guidance requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. Forfeitures were estimated based on historical experience.
If factors change and we employ different assumptions into determine the applicationfair value of SFAS 123(R)our share-based payment awards granted in future periods, the compensation expense that we record under SFAS 123(R)it may differ significantly from what we have recorded in the current period. In addition, valuation models, including the Black-Scholes and binomial models, may not provide reliable measures of the fair values of our stock-based compensation. Consequently, there is a risk that our estimates of the fair values of our stock-based compensation awards on the grant dates may bear little resemblance to the actual values realized upon the exercise, expiration, early termination, or forfeiture of those stock-based payments in the future. Certain stock-based payments, such as employee stock options, may expire worthless or otherwise result in zero intrinsic value as compared to the fair values originally estimated on the grant date and reported in our financial statements. Alternatively, valuevalues may be realized from these instruments that are significantly higher than the fair values originally estimated on the grant date and reported in our financial statements.
See Note 2 and Note 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Basis of Presentation
We have a 52-53 week fiscal year, ending on the Friday nearest to December 31, which for fiscal 20072010 was December 28, 2007.31, 2010. Fiscal 2007, 20062010 and 2005Fiscal 2009 were allboth 52-week years.
Revenue
In fiscal 2007,2010, total revenue increased by $282.1$167.7 million, or 30%15%, to $1,222.3 million$1.29 billion from $940.2 million$1.13 billion in fiscal 2006.2009. The increase in fiscal 20072010 was primarily due to stronger performances across all our operatingin the Engineering and
Construction and Field Solutions segments. Engineering and Construction revenue increased $106.2$140.5 million, or 17%;24%, Field Solutions increased $61.4$26.4 million, or 44%;9%, Advanced Devices increased $1.4 million, or 1%, slightly offset by a decrease in Mobile Solutions increased $96.8of $0.6 million, or 159%;less than 1%, ,as compared to fiscal 2009. In fiscal 2010, the revenue growth in Engineering and Construction reflected a return to growth across the U.S. and rest of the world markets, and a strong agricultural environment.
In fiscal 2009, total revenue decreased by $203.0 million, or 15%, to $1.13 billion from $1.33 billion in fiscal 2008. The decrease in fiscal 2009 was primarily due to slower sales in the Engineering and Construction segment. Engineering and Construction revenue decreased $163.1 million, or 22%, Field Solutions decreased $9.0 million, or 3%, Mobile Solutions decreased $12.2 million, or 7%, and Advanced Devices increased $17.7decreased $18.7 million, or 17%16%, as compared to the corresponding period in fiscal 2006. Revenue growth within these segments was primarily driven by new products, a robust agricultural environment, strong international growth, as well as the impact of acquisitions of $97.8 million, partially offset by regional pockets of softness in the U.S. markets.
* During the 2010 fiscal year, sales to customers in the United States represented 46%, 9%Europe represented 22%, 93%Asia Pacific represented 18%, and 13% respectively, as compared to fiscal 2005. Revenue growth within these segments was driven by new product introductions, increased penetrationother regions represented 14% of existing markets, and geographical expansion. Mobile Solutions growth in particular benefited from the prior year acquisitions. Overall, 2006 acquisitions impactedour total company revenue growth by approximately 2%.
* No single customer accounted for 10% or more of our total revenuesrevenue in fiscal 2007, 2006,2010, 2009 and 2005.2008. It is possible, however, that in future periods the failure of one or more large customers to purchase products in quantities anticipated by us may adversely affect the results of operations.
Gross Margin
Our gross margin varies due to a number of factors including product mix, pricing, distribution channel used, effects of production volumes, new product start-up costs, and foreign currency translations.
In fiscal 2007,2010, our gross margin increased by $151.8$95.6 million as compared to fiscal 20062009 primarily due to higher revenue, higher margin products, including software and subscription revenue, and improved manufacturing utilization, partially offset by an increase of $14.5 million in amortization of purchased intangibles primarily due to the acquisition of @Road.revenue. Gross margin as a percentage of total revenue was 50.1%49.9% in fiscal 20072010 and 49.0%48.8% in fiscal 2006.2009. The increase in the gross margin percentage was driven primarily by a 2 percentage point increase due to higher margin products including softwareimproved product mix in Engineering and subscription revenue,Construction and Field Solutions, partially offset by the loss of a decrease of 1 percentage point due to increased amortization of purchased intangibles.
In fiscal 2006,2009, our gross margin increaseddecreased by $71.3$99.3 million as compared to fiscal 20052008 primarily due to higher revenue and the success of higher margin products, including survey and machine control products and higher subscription revenues. The increase was partially offset by decreases due to the impact of the reclassification of the Caterpillar Trimble Control Technologies (CTCT) transactions of $18.1 million previously recorded in non-operating expenses, amortization of software-related purchased intangibles of $5.2 million, and stock-based compensation expense of $1.2 million that were not included in gross margin during the same period in fiscal 2005.lower revenue. Gross margin as a percentage of total revenuesrevenue was 49.0%48.8% both in fiscal 20062009 and 50.3% in fiscal 2005.2008. The decreaseconsistency in the gross margin percentage was driven primarily by a decrease of 3 percentage points due to the CTCT impact, amortization of purchased intangiblesmanufacturing cost reductions in Engineering and stock-based compensation,Construction and improved product mix in Field Solutions, offset by an increaselower revenue as a percentage of 2 percentage points due to higher margin products and subscription revenues.
* Because of potential product mix changes within and among the industry markets, market pressures on unit selling prices, fluctuations in unit manufacturing costs, including increases in component prices and other factors, current level gross margin cannot be assured.
Operating Income
Operating income increased by $42.9$41.8 million for fiscal 20072010 as compared to fiscal 2006.2009. Operating income as a percentage of total revenue for fiscal 20072010 was 14.6%9.9% as compared to 14.4%7.6% for fiscal 2006 due to2009. The increase in operating income was primarily driven by higher revenue and associated gross margin,margin. The increase in operating income percentage was primarily due to improved operating expense leverage, primarily in Engineering and softwareConstruction, and subscription revenue, partially offset by additional amortization of purchased intangibles.
Operating income increaseddecreased by $10.4$99.6 million for fiscal 20062009 as compared to fiscal 2005 due to higher revenues and the success of higher margin products, offset by decreases due to the impact of the reclassification of the CTCT transactions previously recorded in non-operating expenses, and stock-based compensation expense that was not included in the operating income during fiscal 2005.
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 (loss) equals net revenue less cost of sales and operating expenses,expense, excluding general corporate expenses,expense, amortization of purchased intangibles, in-process researchintangible assets, amortization of inventory step-up, non-recurring acquisition costs, and development expenses, restructuring charges, non-operating income (expense), and income taxes.

Income Tax Provision
Our effective income tax rate for fiscal years 2007, 20062010, 2009 and 20052008 was 36%27%, 30%27% and 32%26% respectively. The 2007 rate was greater than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% due to impacts resulting from SFAS No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment.” The 2006 rate was less than the US federal statutory rate primarily due to operations in foreign jurisdictions subject to an effective tax rate lower than the U.S. and the Extraterritorial Income Exclusion (ETI) deduction. The 2005 income tax2010 rate was less than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% primarily due to the benefit from the repatriationgeographical mix of undistributed foreign subsidiary earnings providedour pre-tax income and valuation allowance release, offset by the American Jobs Creation Actnet impact of 2004.
In May 2010, the IRS closed its examination of our income tax returns for the fiscal 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 our 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, we 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 us of $42.5 million and interest of $7.2 million for a total of $49.7 million that we paid on July 15, 2010. Additionally, as a result of the settlement, we incurred state income taxes and interest of approximately $2.5 million.
Litigation Matters
* From time to time, we are involved in litigation arising out of the ordinary course of our business. There are no known claims or pending litigation that are expected to have a material effect on our overall financial position, results of operations, or liquidity.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
Other than lease commitments incurred in the normal course of business (see Contractual ObligationObligations table below), 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 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 the Company,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 itsour officers and directors, and the Company’sour 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 Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 28, 200731, 2010 and December 29, 2006.

* 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 facilitiescash flow from operations 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.

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. The funds available under the 2005 Credit Facility may be used for our general corporate purposes and up to $25 million of the 2005 Credit Facility may be used for letters of credit. We incurred a commitment fee when the 2005 Credit Facility was not used. The commitment fee is not material to our results during all periods presented.
We 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'sour option, at either: (i) a base rate, based on the administrative agent'sagent’s prime rate, plus a margin of between 0% and 0.125%, depending on the Company'sour leverage ratio as of itsour 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) (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'sour leverage ratio as of the most recently ended fiscal quarter.

A. | 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. |
B. | 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. |
C. | 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 fiscal years ended December 31, 2010, January 1, 2010, and January 2, 2009 stock-based compensation was allocated as follows: |

D. | 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. |
E. | Non-recurring acquisition 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 a gain on bargain purchase (resulting from the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired exceeding the consideration transferred), adjustments to the fair value of earnout liabilities and payments made or received 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. |
F. | GAAP and non-GAAP tax rate %. These percentages are defined as GAAP income tax provision as a percentage of GAAP income before taxes and non-GAAP income tax provision as a percentage of non-GAAP income before taxes. |
G. | IRS settlement. This amount represents a net charge of $27.5 million in the second quarter of 2010 resulting from the IRS audit settlement. We excluded this because it is not indicative of our core operating performance. |
H. | Valuation allowance release. This amount represents a benefit of $7.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2010 resulting from a valuation allowance release. We excluded this because it is not indicative of our core operating performance. |
I. | Non-GAAP items tax effected. This amount adjusts the provision for income taxes to reflect the effect of the non-GAAP items (A) – (E) on non-GAAP net income. |
J. | Non-GAAP tax rate impact on noncontrolling interests.This amount adjusts the provision for income taxes included in noncontrolling interest to reflect the non-GAAP tax rate. |
K. | 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 $7.9 million, $5.5 million, and $4.5 million for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2010, January 1, 2010, and January 2, 2009, respectively. |
Non-GAAP Operating Income
Non-GAAP operating income increased by $45.6 million for fiscal 2010 as compared to fiscal 2009, and decreased by $80.5 million for fiscal 2009 as compared to fiscal 2008. Non-GAAP operating income as a percentage of total revenue was 16.8%, 15.3%, and 19.0% for fiscal years 2010, 2009, and 2008, respectively.
The increase in operating income and operating income percentage during fiscal 2010 was primarily driven by higher revenue and associated operating leverage in the Engineering and Construction and Field Solutions, partially offset by Mobile Solutions. The decrease in operating income and operating income percentage during fiscal 2009 compared to fiscal 2008 was primarily attributable to a decrease in Engineering and Construction revenue and operating leverage.
Item 7A. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk |
We are exposed to market risk related to changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. We use certain derivative financial instruments to manage these risks. We do not use derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes. All financial instruments are used in accordance with policies approved by our board of directors.
Market Interest Rate Risk
Our cash equivalents and short-term investments consisted primarily of money market funds, treasury bills, commercial paper (FDIC insured), interest and certificate ofnon-interest bearing bank deposits as well as bank time deposits for fiscal 2007 and 2006.2008. The main objective of these instruments was safety of principal and liquidity while maximizing return, without significantly increasing risk.
* Due to the short-term nature of our cash equivalents, and short-term investments, we do not anticipate any material effect on our portfolio due to fluctuations in interest rates.
We are exposed to market risk due to the possibility of changing interest rates under our senior secured credit facilities. Our credit facilities arefacility is comprised of an unsecured revolving credit agreement with a maturity date of February 2012, and a five-year term loan which will mature concurrently with the revolving credit line.2012. We may borrow funds under the revolving credit agreement in U.S. Dollars or in certain other currencies and borrowings will bear interest at our option, at either: (i) a base rate, based onas described under Note 9 of Notes to the administrative agent's prime rate, plus a margin of between 0% and 0.125%, depending on our 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 our leverage ratio as of the most recently ended fiscal quarter.
As of December 28, 2007,31, 2010, we did not havehad an outstanding balance on the revolving credit lines and the worldwide outstanding principal balance on the term loan was $60.0line of $151.0 million. A hypothetical 10% increase in the three-month LIBOR rates could result in approximately $0.3 million$46,000 annual increase in interest expense on the existing principal balances.
* The hypothetical changes and assumptions made above will be different from what actually occurs in the future. Furthermore, the computations do not anticipate actions that may be taken by our management should the hypothetical market changes actually occur over time. As a result, actual earnings effects in the future will differ from those quantified above.
Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk
We enter into foreign exchange forward contracts to minimize the short-term impact of foreign currency fluctuations on cash, certain trade and inter-company receivables and payables, primarily denominated in Australian, Canadian Japanese,and New Zealand Dollars, Japanese Yen, Indian Rupee, South African andRand, Swedish currencies, theKrona, Euro, and the British pound. These contracts reduce the exposure to fluctuations in exchange rate movements as the gains and losses associated with foreign currency balances are generally offset with the gains and losses on the forward contracts. These instruments are marked to market through earnings every period and generally range from one to three months in original maturity. We do not enter into foreign exchange forward contracts for trading purposes.
Foreign exchange forward contracts outstanding as of December 28, 200731, 2010 and December 29, 2006January 1, 2010 are summarized as follows (in thousands):

NOTE 1: DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Trimble Navigation Limited (Trimble or the Company) began operations in 1978 and incorporated in California in 1981. The Company provides positioning product solutions, most typically to commercial and government users. The principal applications served include surveying, construction, agriculture, urban and resource management, military, transportation and telecommunications. The Company’s products typically provide its customers benefits that can include lower operational costs, higher productivity, and improved quality. Examples of products include systems that guide agricultural and construction equipment, surveying instruments, systems that track fleets of vehicles, and data collection systems that enable the management of large amounts of geo-referenced information. In addition, the Company also manufactures components for in-vehicle navigation and telematics systems, and timing modules used in the synchronization of wireless networks.
NOTE 2: ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principlesU.S. generally accepted in the U.S.accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Estimates are used for allowances for doubtful accounts, sales returns reserve, allowances for inventory valuation, warranty costs, investments, goodwill impairments, stock-based compensation, and income taxes among others. 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 differ materially from management’s estimates.
Basis of Presentation
The Company has a 52-53 week fiscal year, ending on the Friday nearest to December 31. Fiscal 2007, fiscal 2006,2010 and fiscal 20052009 were allboth 52-week years, and ended on December 28, 2007, December 29, 200631, 2010 and December 30, 2005,January 1, 2010, respectively. Fiscal 2008 was a 53-week year and ended on January 2, 2009. Unless otherwise stated, all dates refer to the Company’s fiscal year.
These Consolidated Financial Statements include the results of the Company and its majority-ownedconsolidated subsidiaries. Inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Noncontrolling interests represent the noncontrolling shareholders’ proportionate share of the net assets and results of operations of the Company’s consolidated subsidiaries.
The Company has evaluated all subsequent events through the date that these financial statements have been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). No material subsequent events have occurred since December 31, 2010 that required recognition or disclosure in these financial statements.
Certain segment disclosuresamounts from prior yearsperiods have been reclassified to conform to the current yearperiod presentation.
Foreign Currency Translation
Assets and liabilities of non-U.S. subsidiaries that operate in local currencies are translated to U.S. dollars at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date, with the resulting translation adjustments directly recorded to a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax in accumulated other comprehensive income within the shareholders’ equity section of the consolidated balance sheets.Consolidated Balance Sheets. Income and expense accounts are translated at average exchange rates during the year.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include all cash and highly liquid investments with insignificant interest rate risk and maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase. The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments.
Cash and cash equivalents are maintained with several financial institutions. Deposits held with banks may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits. Generally, these deposits may be redeemed upon demand and are maintained with financial institutions of reputable credit and therefore bear minimal credit risk.
The Company is also exposed to credit risk in the Company’s trade receivables, which are derived from sales to end user customers in diversified industries as well as various resellers. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and limits the amount of credit extended when deemed necessary but generally does not require collateral.
With the selection of Flextronics Corporation International (formerly Solectron Corporation) in August 1999 as an exclusive manufacturing partner for many of its GPS products, the Company became dependent upon a sole supplier for the manufacture of many of its products. In addition, the Company relies on sole suppliers for a number of its critical components.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments.
The Company evaluates the ongoing collectibility of its trade accounts receivable based on a number of factors such as age of the accounts receivable balances, credit quality, historical experience, and current economic conditions that may affect a customer’s ability to pay. In circumstances where the Company is aware of a specific customer’s inability to meet its financial obligations to the Company, a specific allowance for bad debts is estimated and recorded which reduces the recognized receivable to the estimated amount that the Company believes will ultimately be collected. In addition to specific customer identification of potential bad debts, bad debt charges are recorded based on the Company’s recent past loss history and an overall assessment of past due trade accounts receivable amounts outstanding.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of standard cost (which approximates actual cost on a first-in, first-out basis) or market. Adjustments to reduce the cost of inventory to its net realizable value, if required, are made for estimated excess, obsolescence or impaired balances. Factors influencing these adjustments include declines in demand, technological changes, product life cycle and development plans, component cost trends, product pricing, physical deterioration and quality issues. If actual factors are less favorable than those projected by us, additional inventory write-downs may be required.
Goodwill and Purchased Intangible Assets
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired in a business combination. IntangibleFor acquisitions completed, beginning in fiscal 2009, identifiable intangible assets resulting from the acquisitions of entities accounted for using the purchase method of accounting are estimated by managementnow include in-process research and development based on the revised accounting guidance on business combinations. Intangible assets acquired individually, with a group of other assets, or in a business combination are recorded at fair value of assets received.value. Identifiable intangible assets are comprised of distribution channels and distribution rights, patents, licenses, technology, acquired backlog, trademarks and trademarks.in-process research and development. Identifiable intangible assets are being amortized over the period of estimated benefit using the straight-line method, reflecting the pattern of economic benefits associated with these assets, and have estimated useful lives ranging from one to ten years with a weighted average useful life of 6.26.4 years. Goodwill is not subject to amortization, but is subject to at least an annual assessment for impairment, applying a fair-value based test.
The Company evaluates goodwill, at a minimum, on an annual basis and whenever events and changes in circumstances suggest that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. The Company performs its annual goodwill impairment testing in the fourth fiscal quarter of each year. Goodwill is reviewed for impairment utilizing a two-step process. First, impairment of goodwill is tested at the reporting unit level by comparing the reporting unit’s carrying amount, including goodwill, to the fair value of the reporting unit. The fair values of the reporting units are estimated using a discounted cash flow approach. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, a second step is performed to measure the amount of impairment loss, if any. In step two, the implied fair value of goodwill is calculated as the excess of the fair value of a reporting unit over the fair values assigned to its assets and liabilities. If the implied fair value of goodwill is less than the carrying value of the reporting unit’s goodwill, the difference is recognized as an impairment loss.
2010, for each reporting unit, the Company’s estimated fair values exceeded the carry values by substantial margins.
Depreciation and amortization of the Company’s intangible assets and other long-lived assets is provided using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives, reflecting the pattern of economic benefits associated with these assets. Changes in circumstances such as technological advances, changes to the Company’s business model, or changes in the capital strategy could result in the actual useful lives differing from initial estimates. In those cases where the Company determines that the useful life of an asset should be revised, the Company will depreciate the net book value in excess of the estimated residual value over its revised remaining useful life. These assets are evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. The estimated future cash flows are based upon, among other things, assumptions about expected future operating performance and may differ from actual cash flows. The assets evaluated for impairment are grouped with other assets to the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other groups of assets and liabilities. If the sum of the projected undiscounted cash flows (excluding interest) is less than the carrying value of the assets, the assets will be written down to the estimated fair value.
Revenue Recognition
The Company elected to early adopt new revenue accounting guidance related to arrangements with multiple deliverables 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.
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 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 the costCost of goods sold.
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/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 therefair 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 no remaining obligations. Revenue from PCS is recognized ratably over the termconsidered separate units of accounting. For certain of the PCS agreement.
Some of AICPA Statement of Position 97-2 to Arrangements That Include the Right to Use Software Stored on Another Entity’s Hardware” forCompany’s subscription product offerings include hardware, subscription services and extended warranty. Under the Company’s hosted arrangements, which 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. Subscription revenueUpfront fees related to the Company’s hosted arrangements is recognized ratably over the contract period. Upfront fees for the Company’s hosted solution primarilysolutions typically consist of amounts for the in-vehicle enabling hardware device and peripherals,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 the Company was not able to establish VSOE for some or all deliverables in an arrangement as the Company infrequently sold each element on a standalone basis, did not price products within a narrow range, or had 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 establish the selling price of an element based on 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 any. For upfront fees relatingthe 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, propriety hardware wherepricing 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 firmware is more than incidentalCompany’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 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, if the transactions entered into 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 fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 | $ | 1,293,937 | $ | 1,285,866 |
The impact of the revised accounting guidance to total revenue during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 was attributable to the functionalityreallocation of discounts to revenue deliverables, the recognition of hardware in accordancerevenue associated with SOP No. 97-2, the Company defers the upfront fees at installation and recognizes themsubscription contracts, which was previously recognized ratably over the minimum service contract period, generally oneand the ability to five years. Product costs are also deferred and amortized over such period.
Warranty
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 cost is primarily estimated based upon historical trends in the volume of product returns within the warranty period and the cost 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.

Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others
In the normal course of business to facilitate sales of its products, the Company indemnifies other parties, including customers, lessors, and parties to other transactions with the Company, with respect to certain matters. The Company has 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, the Company has entered into indemnification agreements with its officers and directors, and the Company’s bylaws contain similar indemnification obligations to the Company’s 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 the Company under these agreements were not material and no liabilities have been recorded for these obligations on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 28, 200731, 2010 and December 29, 2006.
Advertising Costs
The Company expenses all advertising costs as incurred. Advertising expenses wereexpense was approximately $21.2$21.3 million, $16.1$20.4 million, and $14.8$22.6 million, in fiscal 2007, 2006,2010, 2009 and 2005,2008, respectively.
Research and Development Costs
Research and development costs are charged to expense as incurred. Cost of software developed for external sale subsequent to reaching technical feasibility were not considered materialsignificant and were expensed as incurred. The Company received third party funding of approximately $8.5$11.7 million, $7.8$12.5 million, and $9.0$9.2 million in fiscal 2007, 2006,2010, 2009 and 2005,2008, respectively. The Company offsets research and development expensesexpense with any third party funding received. The Company retains the rights to any technology developed under such arrangements.

Stockperiod and is net of estimated forfeitures. For fiscal 2010, 2009 and 2008 stock option expense recognized in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Income for the year ended December 28, 2007 included compensationincludes expense for stock options granted prior to, but not yet vested as of December 29, 2006 based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123 and compensation expense30, 2005, as well as for the stock options granted subsequent to December 29,beginning in fiscal 2006. In fiscal 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123(R). In conjunction with the adoption of SFAS 123(R),the FASB’s revised accounting guidance on stock compensation, the Company changed its method of attributing the value of stock optionoptions to expense from the accelerated multiple-option approach to the straight-line single option method. Compensation expense for all stock options granted on or prior to December 29, 2006 will continue to be30, 2005 was recognized using the accelerated multiple-option approach while compensation expense for all stock options granted subsequent to December 29, 2006 will be30, 2005 is recognized using the straight-line single-option method. SFAS 123(R) requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. In the Company’s pro-forma information required under SFAS 123 for the periods prior to fiscal 2006, the Company accounted for forfeitures as they occurred.
For options granted prior to October 1, 2005, the fair value for these options was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. For stock options granted on or after October 1, 2005, the fair value of each award is estimated on the date of grant using a binomial valuation model. Similar to the Black-Scholes model, the binomial model takes into account variables such as volatility, dividend yield rate, and risk free interest rate. In addition, the binomial model incorporates actual option-pricing behavior and changes in volatility over the option’s contractual term.
Under the binomial and Black-Scholes models,model, the weighted average grant-date fair value of stock options granted during fiscal years 2007, 20062010, 2009 and 2005 were $12.37, $8.042008 was $11.85, $7.92 and $7.27,$8.80, respectively. The value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the binomial model forFor options granted during and afterfor the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005, and the Black-Scholes option pricing model for options granted during and prior to the third quarter of fiscal 2005, withthree years ending December 31, 2010, the following assumptions:

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. The Company used implied and historical volatility as the combination was more representative of future stock price trends than historical volatility alone.
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 term of the option.
Expected Life Of Option – The Company’s expected term represents the period that the Company’s stock options are expected to be outstanding and was 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.
Restricted Stock Units
Restricted stock units are converted into shares of Trimble common stock upon vesting on a one-for-one basis. Vesting of restricted stock units is subject to the employee’s continuing service to the Company. The compensation expense related to these awards was determined using the fair value of Trimble’s common stock on the date of grant, and thatthe expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. Restricted stock units typically vest at the end of three years.
Employee Stock Purchase Plan
Under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan, rights to purchase shares are generally granted during the second and fourth quarter of each year. The fair value of rights granted under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The estimated weighted average value of rights granted under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan during fiscal years 2007, 20062010, 2009 and 20052008 were $7.54, $5.16$6.94, $5.28 and $4.94,$8.30, respectively. The fair value of rights granted during 2007, 2006,2010, 2009 and 20052008 was estimated at the date of grant using the following weighted-average assumptions:

Expected Stock Price Volatility – The Company’s computation of expected volatility is based on implied volatilities from traded options on the Company’s stock. The Company used implied volatility because it is representative of future stock price trends during the purchase period.
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 term of the purchase period.
Expected Life Of Purchase – The Company’s expected life of the purchase is based on the term of the offering period of the purchase plan.
Property and Equipment, Net
Property and equipment, net is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation of property and equipment owned is computed using the straight-line method over the shorter of the estimated useful lives or the lease terms.terms when applicable. Useful lives include a range from two to six years for machinery and equipment, five years for furniture and fixtures, two to five years for computer equipment and software, 40 years for buildings, and the life of the lease for leasehold improvements. The Company capitalizes eligible costs to acquire or develop internal-use software that are incurred subsequent to the preliminary project stage. Capitalized costs related to internal-use software are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from three to five years. The costs of repairs and maintenance are expensed when incurred, while expenditures for refurbishments and improvements that significantly add to the productive capacity or extend the useful life of an asset are capitalized. Depreciation expense was $17.2$18.2 million in fiscal 2007, $13.52010, $18.8 million in fiscal 20062009 and $10.7$19.0 million in fiscal 2005.
Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company enters into foreign exchange forward contracts to minimize the short-term impact of foreign currency fluctuations on cash, certain trade and inter-company receivables and payables, primarily denominated in Australian, Canadian Japanese,and New Zealand Dollars, Japanese Yen, South African andRand, Swedish currencies, theKrona, Euro, and the British pound. These contracts reduce the exposure to fluctuations in exchange rate movements as the gains and losses associated with foreign currency balances are generally offset with the gains and losses on the forward contracts. These instruments are marked to market through earnings every period and generally range from one to three months in original maturity. We do not enter into foreign exchange forward contracts for trading purposes.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for under the liability method whereby deferred tax assets or liability account balances are calculated at the balance sheet date using current tax laws and rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce the carrying amounts of deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not such assets will not be realized.
Relative to uncertain tax positions, the Company only recognizes the tax benefit if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The Company adoptedtax benefits recognized in the provisionsfinancial statements from such positions are then measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertaintybeing realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company’s practice is to recognize interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in Income Taxes” (FIN 48), on December 30, 2006.income tax expense. See Note 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
The Company’s valuation allowance is primarily attributable to acquired net operating losses and research and development credit carryforwards. Management believes that it is more likely than not that we will not realize these deferred tax assets, and, accordingly, a valuation allowance has been provided for such amounts. Beginning in 2009, the Company adopted the revised accounting guidance for business combinations, under
which such valuation allowance adjustments associated with an acquisition closing after January 3, 2009 (and after the measurement period) are recorded through income tax expense. Prior to January 3, 2009, these adjustments were required to be recognized by adjusting the purchase price related to the acquisition.
Computation of Earnings Per Share
The number of shares used in the calculation of basic earnings per share represents the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period and excludes any dilutive effects of options, non-vested restricted stock units and restricted stock awards, warrants, and convertible securities. The dilutive effects of options, non-vested restricted stock units and restricted stock awards, warrants, and convertible securities are included in diluted earnings per share.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2006,January 2010, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, "Employers'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 Defined Benefit Pensionidentical assets or liabilities) and Other Postretirement Plans, an amendmentLevel II (significant other observable inputs) of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106,the fair value measurement hierarchy, including the reasons and 132(R)." SFAS 158the timing of the transfers. Additionally, the guidance requires companies to recognizea roll forward of activities on purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements of the over-funded or under-funded status of a defined benefit post-retirement plan as an asset or liability in its balance sheet, recognize as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax, amounts accumulatedassets and liabilities measured using significant unobservable inputs (Level III 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 III fair value measurements, which will become effective for the Company at the datebeginning of adoption due to delayed recognition of actuarial gains and losses, prior service costs and credits, and transition assets and obligations, and providefiscal 2011. Other than requiring additional disclosures, effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2006. On December 29, 2006, the Company adopted the recognition and disclosure provisionsadoption of SFAS 158. The effect of adopting these provisions of SFAS 158 on the Company’s financial condition at December 29, 2006 and December 28, 2007 has been included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. These provisions of SFAS 158this new guidance did not have an effecta material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial condition at December 30, 2005. See Note 15 to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
In September 2006,June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” SFAS 157 establishesaccounting guidance which changes the consolidation guidance applicable to a framework for measuringvariable interest entity (VIE). The guidance, now codified under the fair valueConsolidation Topic of assetsthe FASB Accounting Standards Codification, also amends the guidance governing the determination of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a VIE, and liabilities.is, therefore, required to consolidate an entity, by requiring a qualitative analysis rather than a quantitative analysis. The qualitative analysis includes, 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 frameworkguidance also requires continuous reassessments of whether an enterprise is intended to provide increased consistencythe 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 how fair value determinations are made under various existing accounting standards which permit, or in some cases require, estimates of fair market value. SFAS 157 is effective for the Company beginning in its first quarter of fiscal 2008, although earlier adoption is encouraged.2010. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 157 tothe guidance did not have a material impact on itsthe Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In February 2007,October 2009, the FASB issued SFAS 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, including an amendment which eliminates the residual method of FASB Statement No. 115.” SFAS 159 allowsallocation for multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements and requires that arrangement consideration be allocated at the inception of an entityarrangement to all deliverables using the irrevocable option to elect fair value forrelative selling price method.

Pro-forma results of operations have not been presented because the effects of each of these acquisitions were not material individually or in the aggregate to the Company’s results.
The total purchase consideration for each of the above acquisitions was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values as of the date of acquisition. The fair value of intangible assets acquired is generally determined based on a discounted cash flow analysis performed by third-party experts.analysis. Acquisition costs directly related to the acquisitions were capitalized.

NOTE 11: FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The estimatedguidance on fair valuesvalue 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 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. 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 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 Consolidated Balance Sheets. |
(2) | The Company maintains a self-directed, non-qualified deferred compensation plan for certain executives and other highly compensated employees. As of December 31, 2010 the plan assets are invested in a money market fund and valued using observable quoted prices in active markets. The deferred compensation plan liabilities included in Level II are valued using quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets. Deferred compensation plan assets and liabilities are included in Other non-current assets and Other non-current liabilities on the Company’s 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 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 $11.5 million, based on future revenues or gross margins through January 2013. 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 0.00% to 0.61%. Of the total contingent consideration liability, $1.7 million |
and $2.0 million were included in Other current liabilities and Other non-current liabilities, respectively, on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. |

The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to U.S. federal, state, and foreign income taxes. The Company has substantially concluded all U.S. federal and state income tax matters for years through 1992. ForeignNon-U.S. income tax matters have been concluded for years through 2000. The Company does not anticipate significant impact tois currently in various stages of multiple year examinations by federal, state, and foreign (including France and Germany) taxing authorities. Although the UTB balance with respect to current tax examinations. Furthermore, although timing of the resolution and/or closure on audits is highly uncertain, the companyCompany does not believe it is reasonably possible that the unrecognized tax benefits would materially change in the next 12twelve months.
In May 2010, the IRS closed its examination of our income tax returns for the years 2005 through 2007. As part of the audit, 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’s continuing practice is to recognize interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. The Company’s liability includes interest and penalties at December 28, 200731, 2010, January 1, 2010, and January 2, 2009 of $3.1$2.6 million, $5.0 million, and $4.4 million, respectively, which iswere recorded in Other non- currentnon-current liabilities in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. Current year interest and penalties reflected in income is $0.9 million.

As of December 28, 2007,31, 2010, there was $2.0$18.3 million of total unamortized restricted stock unit compensation expense related to nonvestedunvested restricted stock units, with a weighted-average recognition period of 2.81.77 years.
On April 12, 2002, the Company issued to Spectra-Physics Holdings USA, Inc., a warrant to purchase up to 1,128,700 shares of Trimble’s Common Stock over a fixed period of time. Initially, Spectra-Physics’ warrant entitled it to purchase 600,000 shares of Common Stock over a five-year period at an exercise price of $5.04 per share. On a quarterly basis beginning July 14, 2002, Spectra-Physics’ warrant became exercisable for an additional 750 shares of Common Stock for every $1 million of principal and interest outstanding to Spectra-Physics until the obligation was paid off in full. These shares are purchasable at a price equal to the average of Trimble’s closing price for the five days immediately proceeding the last trading day of each quarter. On July 14, 2002 an additional 52,092 shares became exercisable at an exercise price of $4.82 per share. On October 14, 2002 an additional 53,472 shares became exercisable at an exercise price of $3.06. On January 14, 2003, an additional 54,852 shares became exercisable at an exercise price of $4.52. On April 14, 2003, an additional 28,623 shares became exercisable at an exercise price of $6.69. The approximate fair value of the warrants of $2.4 million was determined using the Black-Scholes pricing model with the following assumptions: contractual life of 5-year period, risk-free interest rate of 4%; volatility of 65%; and no dividends during the contractual term. The additional shares are exercisable over a 5-year period. No additional shares will be issuable under the warrant as the underlying obligation has been paid off in full. During fiscal 2007 there were 760,416 shares exercised related to the warrants. For fiscal 2006 and 2005, no shares were exercised. As of December 28, 2007, there are 28,623 shares outstanding and exercisable under the warrants.
401(k) Plan
Under the Company’s 401(k) Plan, U.S. employee participants (including employees of certain subsidiaries) may direct the investment of contributions to their accounts among certain mutual funds and the Trimble Navigation Limited Common Stock Fund. The Trimble Fund sold 92,960 net 47,552 shares of Common Stock for an
aggregate of $1.8$3.0 million in fiscal 2007.2010. The Company, at its discretion, matches individual employee 401(k) Plan contributions at a rate of fifty cents of every dollar that the employee contributes to the 401(k) Plan up to 5% of the employee’s annual salary to an annual maximum of $2,500. The Company’s matching contributions to the 401(k) Plan were $3.1$3.2 million in fiscal 2007, 2.52010, $3.2 million in fiscal 2006,2009 and $2.2$3.3 million in fiscal 2005.
Defined Contribution Pension Plans
Certain of the Company’s European subsidiaries participate in state sponsored pension plans. Contributions are based on specified percentages of employee salaries. For these plans, the Company contributed and charged to expense approximately $0.8 million for fiscal 2007, $0.7 million for fiscal 2006 and $0.6 million for fiscal 2005.
Defined Benefit Pension Plan
The Company provides defined benefit pension plans in Sweden Germany, and the Netherlands.Germany. The largest of these plans is provided by the Swedish subsidiary which has an unfunded defined benefit pension plan that covered substantially all of its full-time employees through 1993. Benefits are based on a percentage of eligible earnings. The employee must have had a projected period of pensionable service of at least 30 years as of 1993. If the period was shorter, the pension benefits were reduced accordingly. Active employees do not accrue any future benefits; therefore, there is no service cost and the liability will only increase for interest cost.
The Company adopted the recognition and disclosure provisions of SFAS 158. SFAS 158 required the Company to recognizerecognizes the funded status (i.e., the difference between the fair value of plan assets and the projected benefit obligations) of its pension plan in the Consolidated Balance Sheet with a corresponding adjustment to accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax. The adjustment to accumulated other comprehensive income at adoption representsand that the net unrecognized actuarial losses and unrecognized transition obligation remaining fromchanges in the initial adoption of SFAS 87, all of which were previously netted against the plan’s funded status in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets pursuant to the provisions of Statement 87. These amounts will be subsequently recognized as net periodic pension cost pursuant to the Company’s historical accounting policy for amortizing such amounts. Further, actuarial gains and losses that arise in subsequent periods and are not recognized as net periodic pension cost in the same periods will be recognized a component of other comprehensive income. Those amounts will be subsequently recognized as a component of net periodic pension cost on the same basis as the amounts recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income at adoption of SFAS 158. The adoption of SFAS 158 had no effect on the Company’s consolidated statement of income for the year ended December 28, 2007, or for any prior period presented, and it will not effect the Company’s operating results in future periods.
The pension related balances on the Company’s Consolidated balance sheetBalance Sheet at December 28, 200731, 2010 and December 29, 2006January 1, 2010 are presented in the following table.

The boardBoard of directorsDirectors and Shareholders of Trimble Navigation Limited
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Trimble Navigation Limited as of December 28, 200731, 2010 and December 29, 2006,January 1, 2010, and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 28, 2007.31, 2010. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in the index at Item 15 (a) Schedule II. These financial statements and schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and schedule based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Trimble Navigation Limited at December 28, 200731, 2010 and December 29, 2006,January 1, 2010, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 28, 2007,31, 2010, in conformity with U.SU.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.
As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, on January 2, 2010, the Company prospectively adopted the new accounting standards related to revenue recognition for arrangements with multiple deliverables and arrangements that include software elements, effective January 2, 2010 and changed its method of accounting for stock-based compensation as of December 31, 2005,noncontrolling interests and its method of accounting for uncertain tax positions as of December 30, 2006.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), Trimble Navigation Limited’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 28, 2007,31, 2010, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated February 22, 2008,28, 2011, expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

The boardBoard of directorsDirectors and Shareholders of Trimble Navigation Limited
We have audited Trimble Navigation Limited'sLimited’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 28, 2007,31, 2010, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the COSO criteria). Trimble Navigation Limited’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Management'sManagement’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the company’sCompany’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
In our opinion, Trimble Navigation Limited maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 28, 2007,31, 2010, based on the COSO criteria.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of Trimble Navigation Limited as of December 28, 200731, 2010 and December 29, 2006,January 1, 2010, and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 28, 200731, 2010 and our report dated February 22, 200828, 2011 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

None
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"“Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this report.

Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls
The company’sCompany’s management, including the CEO and CFO, does not expect that our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.
