On January 17, 2007, our board of directors approved a 2-for-1 split of all outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock, payable February 22, 2007 to stockholders of record on February 8, 2007. All shares and per share information presented have been adjusted to reflect the stock split on a retroactive basis for all periods presented.

Technology Overview


A significant portion of our revenue is derived from applying Global Navigation Satellite System, or GNSS, technology to terrestrial applications. The GNSS includes the network of 24 orbiting U.S. Global Positioning System, or GPS, radio navigation satellites and associated ground control that is funded and maintained by the U.S. Government and is available worldwide free of direct user fees, and the Russian GLONASS radio navigation satellite system. Both the European Community and China have announced plans to establish futureare in the process of establishing operational radio navigation satellite 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, 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 offer 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 are used as highly accurate laser references from which a position can be established. The key elements of these products are typically a laser, which is generally a commercially available laser diode, and a complex mechanical assembly. These elements are augmented by software algorithms to provide measurements and application-specific solutions.


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 and to domain-specific tools that assist the design and build process. 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. We 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.

Business Segments and Markets


We are organized into four reporting segments encompassing our various applications and product lines: Engineering and Construction, Field Solutions, Mobile Solutions and Advanced Devices. Our segments are distinguished by the markets they serve. Each segment consists of businesses which are responsible for product development, marketing, sales, strategy and financial performance.


Engineering and Construction


Products in the Engineering and Construction segment address the Civil Engineering, Building Construction, Surveying, Geospatial, Energy, Cadastral and Land Management Industries. Our Connected Site solutions improve productivity, accuracy, safety and accuracyenvironmental impact throughout the entire construction process, includingproviding advanced technologies and improved information flow across all phases of the construction process from initial feasibility, through survey, planning, design, site preparation, construction, and building phases.  operations and maintenance.

Our products are intended to both improve the productivity of each phase, as well as facilitate the entire process by improving information flow from one phase to the next.


TheEngineering and Construction product solutions typically integrate three core technologies—precise positioning, wireless communications and information technology—into complete, integrated, domain-specific customer solutions. Our capabilities in positioning technologies include multiplehigh-precision satellite positioning using GNSS systems, laser measurement, alignment and 3D scanning, optical measurement and imaging, and inertial measurement technologies. The elements of theseWireless communications technologies are typically embedded in our solutions may incorporate GPS, optical, laser, radio, or cellular communications.

to facilitate real-time data flow, communication and situational awareness across sites and between work sites and offices. Software and Information Technology capabilities within the Engineering and Construction segment include advanced civil engineering alignment selection, design and data preparation software, BIM software, cloud-based collaboration solutions, applications for advanced surveying and geospatial data collection and analysis and many application specific field and office software components. An example is the Connected Site which is comprised of solutions that integrate the construction process including the ability to track equipment, perform remote machine diagnostics and ultimately improve asset utilization and reduce rework. Connected Site solutions include site positioning systems, construction asset management services, software, and powerful wireless and Internet-based site communications infrastructure. By leveraging the Connected Site technology, contractors can gain greater insight into their operations, enabling them to lower operating costs and improve accuracy, safety and productivity.

To bolster the software solutions we provide to the Connected Site, we formed a joint venture with Caterpillar in October of 2008, called VirtualSite Solutions, or VSS. VSS develops software for fleet management and connected worksite solutions. Its initial products are subscription-based software solutions that include asset management and machine diagnostics capabilities. VSS solutions, as part of the customer benefits providedConnected Site portfolio, are being sold through an independent dealer channel under the name of SITECH. We expect there to be approximately 110 SITECH dealers world-wide by ourthe end of 2012. A separate joint venture with Caterpillar, Caterpillar-Trimble Control Technologies or CTCT was formed in 2002 to develop the next generation of advanced electronic guidance and control products is our GPSfor earthmoving machines. The joint venture develops machine control products that use site design information combined with accurate positioning technology to automatically control dozer blades and robotic optical surveying instrumentsother machine tools. The joint venture supplies both Trimble and Caterpillar, who each market, distribute, service and support the products using both companies’ independent distribution channels. Caterpillar offers products as a factory-installed option, while Trimble continues to address the aftermarket with products for earthmoving machines from Caterpillar and other equipment manufacturers.

In addition to the Connected Site, we offer productivity solutions targeted at the building construction sector called BIM solutions. We deliver solutions that link office-based processes and information with field personnel which enable the surveyorinclude taking BIM and other design data to perform operations in the field faster, more reliably than conventional surveying instrumentsfor highly accurate positioning and layout of foundations and mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems. BIM solutions are being adopted by the construction, engineering and architectural communities to produce, communicate and analyze building models.

Trimble’s BIM focus is on the deployment of integrated solutions for the contracting community, with a smaller crew.  Similarly, our construction machine guidance products allow the operator to achieve the desired landform while eliminating stakeout and reducing rework. These stepsenhanced use further in the construction process can be readily linked together withincluding “BIM to Field”. Trimble’s “BIM to Field” vision extends the design data created in the office down to field level systems for precise delivery of design and construction elements. The result is a more efficient and accurate project, reduced waste and re-work and faster project completion times, enabled through the collaboration of the project’s trade groups, interconnected through the use of office and field tools.

We also design and market handheld data collectors, high productivity survey and mapping equipment and data collection modulessoftware for field use by surveyors, contractors, and other professionals. These products are primarily sold directly through a global distribution network.

Seasonality of Business


* Our individual segment revenue may be affected by seasonal buying patterns. Typically, the second fiscal quarter has been the strongest quarter for the Company driven by the construction buying season. However, based upon recent acquisitions, this trend may not be as pronounced.

Backlog


Backlog

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 revenue or material to understanding our business.

Research and Development


We believe that our competitive position is maintained through the development and introduction of new products that incorporate improved features, better performance, smaller size and weight, lower cost, or some combination of these factors. We invest substantially in the development of new products. We also make significant investment in the positioning, communication and information technologies that underlie our products and will likely provide competitive advantages.

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.


Current Economic Conditions and the Global Financial Crisis May Have an Impact on Our Business and Financial Condition in Ways that We Currently Cannot Predict.
The Company’s operations and performance depend on worldwide economic conditions and their impact on levels of business spending, which have deteriorated significantly in many countries and regions and may remain depressed for the foreseeable future. Uncertainties in the financial and credit markets have caused our customers to postpone purchases, and continued uncertainties may reduce future sales of our products and services.  Continued adverse economic conditions are likely to depress tax revenue of federal, state and local government entities, which are significant purchasers of the Company’s products. Protectionist trade measures that may be adopted in response to the economic downturn could reduce demand for our products and services overseas. With the exception 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, if the current market conditions continue to deteriorate we may experience increased collection times or greater write-offs, which could have a material adverse effect on our cash flow.  In addition, the Company's results may be adversely affected if the Company is unable to market, manufacture and ship new products. Any write-off of goodwill could also negatively impact our financial results.  Finally, our ability to access the capital markets may be restricted at a time when we would like, or need, to do so, which could have an impact on our flexibility to pursue additional expansion opportunities and maintain our desired level of revenue growth in the future. These and other economic factors could have a material adverse effect on demand for the Company’s products and services and on the Company’s financial condition and operating results.

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 expense 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.

17


Our Operating Results in Each Quarter May Be Affected by Special Conditions, such as Seasonality, Late Quarter Purchases, Weather, Economic Conditions, and Other Potential Issues

Due in part to the buying patterns of our customers, a significant portion of our quarterly revenue occurs from orders received and immediately shipped to customers in the last few weeks and days of each quarter, although our operating expense 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. Additionally, any disruption in our supply chain could impact our ability to meet our quarterly revenue.

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.

Investing in and Integrating New Acquisitions Could be Costly and May Place a Significant Strain on Our Management Systems and Resources Which Could Negatively Impact Our Operating Results

We have recently acquired a number of companies, 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 of key employees of acquired operations,

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 this goodwill and intangibles for impairment under established accounting guidelines 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.

Changes in Our Effective 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 taxed,

the resolution of issues arising from tax audits with various tax authorities,

changes in the valuation of our deferred tax assets and liabilities,

increases in expense not deductible for tax purposes, including transaction costs and impairments of goodwill 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 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 global supply chain management structure.

We are currently in various stages of multiple year examinations by federal, state, and foreign taxing authorities, including a review of our 2010 tax year by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, or IRS. Our effective tax rate is based on the geographic mix of earnings, statutory rates, inter-company transfer pricing, and enacted tax rules. If the IRS 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.

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 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. In the United States, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and the National Telecommunications and Information Administration share responsibility for radio frequency allocations and spectrum usage regulations.

Any ITU or local reallocation of radio frequency bands, including frequency band segmentation and 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 and have significant negative impacts on our customers. For example, the FCC has been considering a proposal by a private party, LightSquared, to repurpose spectrum adjacent to the GPS bands for terrestrial broadband wireless operations throughout the United States. If the FCC were to permit implementation of LightSquared’s proposal, or similar proposals, terrestrial broadband wireless operations could create harmful interference to GPS receivers within range of such operations and impose costs to retrofit or replace affected receivers.

Many of our products use other radio frequency bands, such as the public land mobile radio bands, together with the GNSS signal, to provide enhanced GNSS capabilities, such as real-time kinematics 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 GNSS 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 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 users of technology that achieves equivalent efficiency to narrowband channels. Congestion in the channels 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.

We Face Competition in Our Markets Which Could Decrease Our Revenue 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 GNSS, 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 revenue 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.

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 GNSS receiver and data communications products sold in the European community. In the future, U.S. governmental authorities may propose GPS receiver testing and certification for compliance with published GPS signal interface specifications. An inability to obtain any such certifications in a timely manner could have an adverse effect on our operating

results. Governmental authorities may also propose other forms of GPS receiver standards, which may limit design alternatives, hamper product innovation or impose additional costs. 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.

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

On May 6, 2011, we entered into a new credit agreement, or our 2011 Credit Facility, with a group of lenders. This credit facility provides for unsecured credit facilities in the aggregate principal amount of $1.1 billion, comprised of a five-year revolving loan facility of $700.0 million and a five-year $400.0 million term loan facility. Additionally, on July 14, 2011, we entered into a $50 million uncommitted revolving loan facility, or 2011 Uncommitted Facility, which is callable by the bank at any time and has no covenants. At the end of fiscal 2011, our total debt was comprised primarily of a term loan of $385.0 million and a revolving credit line of $133.3 million under the 2011 Credit Facility and a revolving credit line of $44.0 million under the 2011 Uncommitted Facility. 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. 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 would harm our financial condition.

We May Not Be Able to Enter Into or Maintain Important Alliances

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.

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 expense 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.

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 GPSGNSS 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.


In addition, we

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, reduced control over pricing and delivery schedules, discontinuation of certain components, and economic conditions which may adversely impact the viability of our suppliers.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,

· changes in market demand,

fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates,

· competitive market conditions,

the cost and availability of components,

· fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates,

the mix of our customer base and sales channels,

· the cost and availability of components,

the mix of products sold,

· the mix of our customer base and sales channels,

pricing of products,

· the mix of products sold,

our ability to expand our sales and marketing organization effectively,

· our ability to expand our sales and marketing organization effectively,

our ability to attract and retain key technical and managerial employees, and

· our ability to attract and retain key technical and managerial employees, and

general global economic conditions.

· 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.


18


Our Gross Margin Is Subject to Fluctuation

Our gross margin is affected by a number of factors, including product mix, product pricing, cost of components, foreign currency exchange rates, and manufacturing costs. For example, sales of Nikon-branded products generally have lower gross margin as compared to our GPS survey products. Absent other factors, a shift in sales towards Nikon-branded products would lead to a reduction in our overall gross margin. A decline in gross margin could harm our results of operations and financial condition.

We Are Dependent on New Products and if We are Unable to Successfully Introduce Them Into The Market, Our Customer Base May Decline or Fail to Grow as Anticipated

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, our 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


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 harm our results of operations and financial condition.


Investing in and Integrating New Acquisitions Could be Costly and May Place a Significant Strain on Our Management Systems and Resources Which Could Negatively Impact Our Operating Results

We have recently acquired a number of companies, 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 of key employees of acquired operations;
·  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 new 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.

19


As a result of such acquisitions, we have significant assets that include goodwill and other purchased intangibles. The testing of this goodwill and intangibles for impairment under established accounting guidelines 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 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 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 or sharing of spectrum, may materially and adversely affect the utility and reliability of our products. Many of our products use other radio frequency bands, together with the GNSS signal, to provide enhanced GNSS capabilities, such as real-time kinematics 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. 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 U.S., the FCC announced that it will require migration of radio technology from wideband to narrowband operations in these bands. The rules require migration of users to narrowband channels by 2011. In the meantime, congestion 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. Many 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 3031 satellites in place, someover a third have already been in operation for more than 1214 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 below the 24-satellite standard established for GPS may impair the current utility of the GPS system and the growth of current and additional market opportunities.

GPS updates.

As the only completeprincipal 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). Manyand satellites transmitting signal corrections data on mobile

satellite services frequencies utilized by our Omnistar corrections services. Some 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 GLONASS System. Any curtailment of the operating capability of these systems or discontinuance of service could result in decreased user capability thereby impacting our markets.


The European community has begun development ofis developing an independent radio navigation satellite system, known as Galileo. WeAlthough we have access to the preliminary signal design, which is subject to change and which requires a commercial license fromto market and sell receivers capable of receiving the Galileo authorities. Althoughopen service signal, European authorities in the future may decide to offer other premium or encrypted service signals under different licenses. Even though an operational Galileo system is several years away, if we are unable to develop a timely commercial product, or obtain a timely commercial license to future Galileo service signals, 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


Civil Unrest

Acts of war, or acts of terrorism, or other circumstances of civil unrest, especially any directed at the GPSGNSS 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 GPSGNSS 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

Our Products are Highly Technical, and Although We Hedge AgainstSome of Our Software Relies On Third Party Technologies including Open Source Software, so If Integration or Incompatibility Issues Arise with These Risks,Technologies, These Technologies Become Unavailable or Our Attempts to HedgeProducts Contain Errors, Defects or Security Vulnerabilities, Our Product and Services Development May be Delayed, Our Reputation Could be UnsuccessfulHarmed and Expose UsOur Business Could be Adversely Affected.

Our products, including our software products, are highly technical and complex and, when deployed, may contain errors, defects or security vulnerabilities. Some errors in our products may only be discovered after a product has been installed and used by customers. In addition, 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 Losses


A significant portionperform key functions. 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. Any errors, defects or security vulnerabilities in our products or any defects in, or compatibility issues with, any third party software or customers’ network environments discovered after commercial release could result in loss of revenues or delay in revenue recognition, loss of customers and increased service and warranty cost, any of which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Undiscovered vulnerabilities in our products alone or in combination with third party software could expose them to hackers or other unscrupulous third parties who develop and deploy viruses, worms, and other malicious software programs that could attack our products. Actual or perceived security vulnerabilities in our products could harm our reputation and lead some customers to return products, to reduce or delay future purchases or use competitive products.

The third party software licenses we rely upon 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. 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 immediately. We license technologies and patents underlying some of our business is conducted outsidesoftware from third parties, and 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 andloss of these licenses could have a material adverse impacteffect on our business. The loss of licenses to, or inability to support, maintain and enhance, any such third party software could result in increased costs, or delays in software releases or updates, until such issues have been resolved. This could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and cash flows. Fluctuation in currency impactsfuture prospects.

We also incorporate open source software into our operating results.


Currently,products. Although we hedge only those currency exposures associated with certain assetsmonitor our use of open source closely, the terms of many open source licenses have not been interpreted by U.S. courts, 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 risksthere is a risk that such licenses 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 unsecured revolving credit agreement, under which we have anconstrued in a manner that could impose unanticipated conditions or restrictions on our ability to borrow an aggregate amount of upmarket or sell our products or to $300 million.  As of January 2, 2009, $151.0 million was outstanding under this line of credit. Debt incurred under this agreement could have important consequences,develop new products. In 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, ifevent, 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 payseek 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 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 May Not Be Able to Enter Into or Maintain Important Alliances

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. If we experience problems from current or future alliances 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 Revenue 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 performancesale 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, 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,event re-engineering cannot be accomplished on a timely basis, any of which could decrease our revenue 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.

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 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 2008,2011, our stock price ranged from $14.43$31.88 to $41.42, on a post-split basis.$52.30. 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,

·  announcements and rumors of developments related to our business or the industry in which we compete;

general conditions in the worldwide economy,

·  quarterly fluctuations in our actual or anticipated operating results and order levels;

acquisition announcements,

·  general conditions in the worldwide economy;

new products or product enhancements by us or our competitors,

· acquisition announcements; 

developments in patents or other intellectual property rights and litigation,

·  new products or product enhancements by us or our competitors;

developments in our relationships with our customers and suppliers, and

·  developments in patents or other intellectual property rights and litigation;

any significant acts of terrorism.

·  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.

Aour own systems or the systems of our third party providers may compromise the confidentiality, integrity, or availability of our own internal data, the availability of our products and websites designed to support our customers, or our customer data. Unauthorized access to our proprietary business information or customer data may be obtained through break-ins, breach of our secure network by an unauthorized party, employee theft or misuse, breach of the security of the networks of our third party providers,

or other misconduct. It is also possible that unauthorized access to customer data may be obtained through inadequate use of security controls by customers. While our products and services provide and support strong password controls, IP restriction and other security mechanisms, the use of such mechanisms are controlled in many cases by our customers.

We may also experience delays or interruptions caused by a number of factors, may increaseincluding access to the internet, the failure of our future effective tax rates, including:


·  the jurisdictions in which profits are determined to be earned and taxed;
·  the resolution of issues arising from tax audits with various tax authorities;
·  changes in the valuation of our deferred tax assets and liabilities;
· increases in expense not deductible for tax purposes, including write-offs of acquired in-process
 R&D and impairments of goodwill 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 changes in generally accepted

These failures and interruptions could harm our reputation and cause us to lose customers.

Although our systems have been designed around industry-standard architectures to reduce downtime in the event of outages or catastrophic occurrences, they remain vulnerable to damage or interruption from earthquakes, floods, fires, power loss, telecommunication failures, terrorist attacks, cyber-attacks, computer viruses, computer denial-of-service attacks, human error, hardware or software defects or malfunctions (including defects or malfunctions of components of our systems that are supplied by federal, state,third-party service providers), and foreign taxing authorities, including an auditsimilar events or disruptions.

Despite any precautions we may take, the occurrence of a natural disaster, a decision by any of our third-party hosting providers to close a facility we use without adequate notice for financial or other reasons, or other unanticipated problems at our hosting facilities could cause system interruptions and delays, and result in loss of critical data and lengthy interruptions in our services.

Our global operations expose us to risks and challenges associated with conducting business internationally, and our earnings wouldresults of operations may be adversely affected. affected by our efforts to comply with U.S. laws which apply to international operations, such as the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and US export control laws, as well as the laws of other countries.

We operate on a global basis with offices or activities in Europe, Africa, Asia, South America, Australasia and North America. We face several risks inherent in conducting business internationally, including compliance with international and U.S. laws and regulations that apply to our international operations. These laws and regulations include data privacy requirements, labor relations laws, tax laws, anti-competition regulations, import and trade restrictions, export control laws, U.S. laws such as the FCPA, and export control laws, and similar laws in other countries which also prohibit corrupt payments to governmental officials or certain payments or remunerations to customers. Many of our products are subject to U.S. export law restrictions that limit the destinations and types of customers to which our products may be sold, or require an export license in connection with sales outside the United States. Given the high level of complexity of these laws, there is a risk that some provisions may be inadvertently breached, for example through fraudulent or negligent behavior of individual employees, our failure to comply with certain formal documentation requirements or otherwise. Also, we may be held liable for actions taken by our local partners. Violations of these laws and regulations could result in fines, criminal sanctions against us, our officers or our employees, and prohibitions on the conduct of our business. Any such violations could include prohibitions on our ability to offer our products in one or more countries and could materially damage our reputation, our brand, our international expansion efforts, our ability to attract and retain employees, our business and our operating results.

In addition, proposals for changeswe operate in U.S. taxmany parts of the world that have experienced governmental corruption to some degree and, in certain circumstances, strict compliance with anti-bribery laws thatmay conflict with local customs and practices. We may be consideredsubject to competitive disadvantages to the extent that our competitors are able to secure business, licenses or adoptedother preferential treatment by making payments to government officials and others in positions of influence or through other methods that U.S. law and regulations prohibit us from using.

Our success depends, in part, on our ability to anticipate these risks and manage these difficulties.

In addition to the future could subject the Company to higher taxesforegoing, engaging in international business inherently involves a number of other difficulties and risks, including:

difficulties and costs of staffing and managing foreign operations;

difficulties protecting or resultprocuring intellectual property rights; and

fluctuations in changes to tax law provisions that currently provide favorable tax treatment.foreign currency exchange rates.


These factors or any combination of these factors may adversely affect our revenue or our overall financial performance.

Stock Repurchase Program


In January 2008, our board of directors authorized a stock repurchase program, (“2008 Stock Repurchase Program”), authorizing us to repurchase up to $250 million of Trimble’sour common stock under this program.stock. We repurchased approximately 4,243,0002,576,000 shares of common stock in open market purchases at an average price of $29.67$28.67 per share, for a total of $73.8 million in 2008.2010. No shares of common stock were repurchased in 2009 and 2011. The total purchase price of $125.9 million 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. AsIn October 2011, our board of January 2, 2009,directors approved a new stock repurchase program, authorizing us to repurchase up to $100.0 million of our common stock. This authorization superseded the 2008 Stock Repurchase Program, hadthus there are no remaining authorized funds of $124.1 million.under the 2008 Stock Repurchase Program. 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.

The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs. 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." We have attempted to identify forward-looking statements in this report by placing an asterisk (*) before paragraphs containing such material.

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. In addition, we also provide software applications on a stand-alone basis. For example, we provide software for project management on construction sites.


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.

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 these markets continue to be underpenetrated and provide us with additional, substantial potential for substituting our technology for traditional methods. We are continuing to develop new products and to strengthen our distribution channels in order to expand our market opportunity. In our Field Solutions Segment, we introduced the AgGPS EZ-Guide 250 Lightbar Guidance System, GPS Pathfinder ProXRT Receiver, Trimble GeoExplorer 2008 Series and the new Juno™ Series.   We announced that the City of Joliet, Illinois Public Utilities Department and the Baton Rouge Water Company in Louisiana selected Trimble’s Fieldport software to enhance utility field operations.market. In our Engineering and Construction segment, we introduceddemonstrated our leadership in technology innovation by introducing a breakthrough high accuracy Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) correction technology with the Trimble MEP layout solution,RTX technology. RTX combines real-time data with innovative positioning and compression algorithms to deliver better than 4 centimeter (1.5 inch) repeatable accuracy with as little as one minute convergence in selected areas, enabling work to start immediately. We introduced our next generation TSC3 Handheld Controller which provides surveyors with a range of new features and functions from multiple devices into a single handheld: a digital camera, integrated communications as well as a GNSS navigator, compass and accelerometer. We also released the next generation of Trimble Coastal Center™ Software,Ranger 3 rugged handheld computer which meets or exceeds rigorous military standards for temperature extremes, drops, vibration, humidity and altitude. We continued to expand our network of SITECH Technology Dealers with the expansion of this dealer network almost complete. These dealers represent Trimble NetR8™ GNSS Reference Receiver.and Caterpillar machine control systems for the 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 further enhancementsthe 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 our complete surveying portfolioanalyze fields surveyed by viewing 3D models, as part of itswell as EZ-Sync, which will allow farmers and drainage contractors to wirelessly deliver completed drainage designs to the FmX displays via Trimble’s Connected Site™ solutions: new models of the Trimble S8 Total Station with options for monitoring and tunneling applications; a new version of Trimble Business Center; a scalable Trimble VX Spatial Station; and improved field to office solutions for German surveyors. Farm solutions.

In our Mobile Solutions segment, we announcedintroduced a new cloud-based field service solution to manage fleet productivity through the Trimble GeoManager WorkManagement—a software solution that Carrier Corporationprovides on-demand visibility into vehicle and mobile worker utilization. Our acquisition of PeopleNet strengthens our strategy for addressing the complex regulatory and operational demands of enterprise companies in the transportation and logistics market.

Alla leading provider of theseintegrated onboard computing and mobile communications systems for effective fleet management that help manage regulatory compliance, fuel costs, driver safety and customer visibility.

In our Advanced Devices segment, to support a growing number of applications demanding high-performance under diverse operating conditions, we expanded the functionality of our line of ThingMagic Embedded RFID Readers—Mercury6e (M6e), Mercury5e (M5e), and Mercury5e-Compact (M5e-C), by releasing a firmware upgrade that optimizes several RFID tag read/write operations resulting in an overall performance improvement. Our acquisition of Beartooth also expands Trimble’s ability to offer unique map content and new outdoor-centric products strengthened our competitive position and created new value for the user.

while simultaneously enhancing current popular applications.

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


*We are utilizing the strength of the Trimble brand in our markets to expand our revenue by bringing new products to new and existing users. In our Field Solutions segment, we introduced Agriculture Manager™ Asset Management System AgGPS EZ-Office™ Software. In our Engineering and Construction segment, through our acquisition of Sinning Vermessungsbedarf GmbH of Bavaria, Germany, we introduced new products, such asthe Trimble GEDO CE Trolley System, which is a new sensorsystem and software that allows railway track recording and documentation to be completed easily and economically. Furthermore, our acquisition of the assets of OmniSTAR allows us to provide space-based Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), correction services that can improve the accuracy of a GNSS receiver for precise positioning applications. This acquisition is expected to significantly expand Trimble’s worldwide ability to provide land-based correction services for agriculture, construction, mapping and Geographic Information System (GIS) and survey applications.

In our Field Solutions segment, through our acquisition of the Corridor Analyst business from Photo Science of Lexington, we introduced the Trimble Corridor Analyst routing software for power transmission lines. This software helps select the most appropriate corridors for high voltage power transmission lines. Furthermore, our acquisition of Yamei Electronics Technology, Co. Ltd, will allow us to expand our solutions for the Trimble CCS900 Compaction Control System that provides real-time material density information to earthworks operators. We were also chosen to supply Trimble VRS™  technology to establish a nationwide GNSS infrastructure networkautomotive and related markets in China, Asia Pacific and India. Yamei manufactures automotive electronics products used for Turkey called CORS-TR (Continuous Operating Reference Station-Turkey or TUSAGA AKTIF)anti-theft GPS monitoring and the Republic of Croatia called the CROatian POsitioning System (CROPOS).  We launched Trimble VRS Now™ Service in Madrid, Spaintracking, RFID-based smart key and in the state of Florida to provide surveyors, civil engineersstart and geospatial professionals in the area with instant access to real-time kinematic (RTK) GNSS corrections without the need for a base station.  These are all examples of bringing new products to existing markets.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES


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 fiscal 2009.

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 wheredelivery is deemed to occur when the carrier will taketakes the goods into carrier’s charge.its charge from the place determined by us. 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.


sales.

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 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.


We apply Statement of Position (SOP) No. 97-2, “Software Revenue Recognition,” to products where the embedded software is more than incidental to the functionality of the hardware. This determination requires significant judgment including a consideration of factors such as marketing, research and development efforts and any post-customer contract support (PCS) relating to the embedded software.

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 there are nofair value has been established for all remaining obligations. Revenue from PCS is recognized ratably over the termundelivered elements.

Some of the PCS agreement.


We apply EITF Issue 00-3, "Application of AICPA Statement of Position 97-2 to Arrangements That Include the Right to Use Software Stored on Another Entity's Hardware," forour subscription product offerings include hardware, subscription services and extended warranty. Under our 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 our hosted arrangements is recognized ratably over the contract period. Upfront fees for our hosted solution primarilysolutions typically consist of amounts for the in-vehicle enabling hardware device and peripherals, if any.peripherals.

Our multiple deliverable product offerings include hardware with embedded firmware, extended warranty and PCS services, which are considered separate units of accounting. For upfront fees relatingcertain of our products, software and non-software components function together to proprietary hardware wheredeliver the firmware is more than incidentaltangible product’s essential functionality.

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 functionalityselling price of the hardware in accordance with SOP No. 97-2, “Software Revenue Recognition,” we defer the upfront fees at installation and recognize them ratably over the minimum service contract period, generally one to five years. Product costs are also deferred and amortized over such period.


In accordance with EITF Issue 00-21, “Accounting for Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables,” when a non-software sale involves multiple elements the entire fee from the arrangement is allocated to each respective element based on its relative fair valuerelevant 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 recognized when revenue recognition criteriaofferings 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 the product or service were sold on a stand-alone basis. BESP is generally used for each elementofferings 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, pricing practices, market conditions, competitive landscape, internal costs, geographies and gross margin. The determination of BESP is met.


made through consultation with and formal approval by our management, taking into consideration our go-to-market strategy.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts and Sales Returns


Our accounts receivable balance, net of allowance for doubtful accounts and sales returns reserve, was $204.3$275.2 million asat the end of January 2, 2009,fiscal 2011, as compared with $239.9$222.8 million asat the end of December 28, 2007.fiscal 2010. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $6.0$6.7 million and $5.2$3.4 million asat the end of January 2, 2009fiscal 2011 and December 28, 2007,2010, respectively. We evaluate ongoing 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 January 2, 2009 and December 28, 2007 was $1.8 million and $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 $160.9were $232.1 million asat the end of January 2, 2009fiscal 2011 as compared with $143.0$192.9 million asat the end of December 28, 2007.fiscal 2010. Our inventory allowances asat the end of January 2, 2009fiscal 2011 were $29.8$37.6 million, as compared with $29.6$31.8 million asat the end of December 28, 2007.fiscal 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 impairedobsolescence 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 assetsasset 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 relatedacquired net operating losslosses 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. When SFAS 141(R), “Business Combinations”, becomes effective, any valuationValuation allowance adjustmentadjustments associated with an acquisition that closed prior to January 3, 2009 (and after the measurement period) will beperiod are recorded through income tax expense whereas the current accounting treatment (under SFAS 141) would require any adjustment to be recognized through the purchase price.

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 and in-process research and development acquired in a business combination. Intangible assets acquired individually, with a group of other assets, or in a business combination, are recorded at fair 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 twelveten years with a weighted average useful life of 6.5 years. Goodwill is not subject to amortization, but is subject to at least an annual assessment for impairment, applying a fair-value based test.

Impairment of Goodwill, Intangible Assets and Other Long-Lived Assets


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.


At the end of fiscal 2011, for each reporting unit, our estimated fair values exceeded the carry values by substantial margins.

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 we will be expensed and the residual value is depreciateddepreciate 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.


Warranty Costs


The liability for product warranties was $13.3$18.4 million asat the end of January 2, 2009,fiscal 2011, as compared with $10.8$12.9 million asat the end of December 28, 2007.fiscal 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


Beginning in fiscal 2006, we adopted Statement of Financial Accounting  Standards (SFAS) No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment” (SFAS 123(R)), which requires the measurement and recognition of

We recognize compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to our employees and directors based on estimated fair values. Stock-based compensation expense recognized in our Consolidated Statements of Income for fiscal 2008, 2007 and 2006 includes compensation expense for awards granted prior to, but not yet vested as of December 30, 2005 based on the grantThe grate date fair value for options is estimated using the Black-Scholes options-pricing model in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123 and compensation expense for awards granted subsequent to December 30, 2005 based on the grant date fair value estimated using a binomial valuation model in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123(R).model. The fair value of rights to purchase shares under our employee stock participation plans waspurchase plan is estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.


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

We base the expected stock price volatility for stock purchase rights has 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.


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 2008, 20072011, 2010 and 20062009 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 1412 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 20082011 was January 2, 2009.December 30, 2011. Fiscal 2008 was a 53-week year. Fiscal 20072011, 2010, and 20062009 were bothall 52-week years.


Revenue


In fiscal 2008,2011, total revenue increased by $107.0$350.1 million, or 9%27%, to $1.33$1.64 billion from $1.22$1.29 billion in fiscal 2007.2010. The increase in fiscal 20082011 was primarily due to stronger performances in the Field SolutionsEngineering and MobileConstruction and Field Solutions segments. Engineering and Construction revenue decreased $1.6increased $187.4 million, or 0.2%;26%, Field Solutions increased $100.1$95.6 million, or 50%;30%, Mobile Solutions increased $9.4$64.3 million, or 6%;41%, and Advanced Devices decreased $0.9increased $2.8 million, or 3%, as compared to fiscal 2010. Revenue growth within Engineering and Construction was driven by strong organic growth due to expanded distribution and improved

end user markets and acquisitions, including Tekla. Sales were strong in the U.S. and Europe for heavy and highway and survey products. Additionally, Field Solutions revenue increased primarily due to the increase in demand for agricultural products as relatively high commodity prices led to good farmer income and spending. Mobile Solutions revenue increased primarily due to the PeopleNet acquisition and growth within the existing business, partially offset by the loss of a large customer in the second quarter of 2010.

In fiscal 2010, total revenue increased by $167.7 million, or 15%, to $1.29 billion from $1.13 billion in fiscal 2009. The increase in fiscal 2010 was primarily due to stronger performances in the Engineering and Construction and Field Solutions segments. Engineering and Construction revenue increased $140.5 million, or 24%, Field Solutions increased $26.4 million, or 9%, Advanced Devices increased $1.4 million, or 1%, slightly offset by a decrease in Mobile Solutions of $0.6 million, or less than 1%, as compared to fiscal 2007.2009. In fiscal 2008,2010, the revenue growth was primarily driven by new products,in Engineering and Construction reflected a return to growth across the U.S. and rest of the world markets, and a strong agricultural environment, as well as the impact of acquisitions partially offset by softness in European and U.S. markets in Engineering and Construction.


* Although revenue increased by 17% on a year over year basis for the first nine months of the year, our revenue in the fourth quarter declined by 14% over the corresponding quarter in the prior year.  Although we have limited visibility into fiscal 2009, due to the current economic crisis, we expect that there will be continued softness in our revenue in the first quarter of 2009 as compared to the corresponding period in the prior year, particularly in our Engineering and Construction segment.

In fiscal 2007, total revenue increased by $282.1 million, or 30%, to $1.22 billion from $940.2 million in fiscal 2006. The increase in fiscal 2007 was due to stronger performances across all our operating segments. Engineering and Construction revenue increased $106.2 million, or 17%; Field Solutions increased $61.4 million, or 44%; Mobile Solutions increased $96.8 million, or 159%; and Advanced Devices increased $17.7 million, or 17%, as compared to 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, partially offset by regional pockets of softness in the U.S. markets.


environment.

* During fiscal 2008,2011, sales to customers in the United States represented 49%45%, Europe represented 25%24%, Asia Pacific represented 14%15%, and other regions represented 12%16% of our total revenue. During the 20072010 fiscal year, sales to customers in the United States represented 46%, Europe represented 22%, Asia Pacific represented 18%, and other regions represented 14% of our total revenue. During fiscal 2009, sales to customers in the United States represented 50%, Europe represented 27%23%, Asia Pacific represented 12%17%, and other regions represented 11% of our total revenue. During fiscal 2006, sales to customers in the United States represented 54%, Europe represented 25%, Asia Pacific represented 12%, and other regions represented 9%10% of our total revenue. We anticipate that sales to international customers will continue to account for a majorsignificant portion of our revenue.


* No single customer accounted for 10% or more of our total revenue in fiscal 2008, 2007,2011, 2010 and 2006.2009. 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 2008,2011, our gross margin increased by $36.2$184.1 million as compared to fiscal 20072010 primarily due to higher revenue. Gross margin as a percentage of total revenue was 48.8%50.5% in fiscal 20082011 and 50.1%49.9% in fiscal 2007.2010. The decreaseincrease in the gross margin percentage was driven primarily due to an increase in sales of higher margin products, primarily software and subscription revenue, which were partially offset by increasedhigher amortization of purchased intangibles, and product mix.


intangibles.

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 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 primarily due to higherimproved product mix in Engineering and Construction and Field Solutions, partially offset by the loss of a large, high margin products.


customer in Mobile Solutions.

* 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 $7.2$28.8 million for fiscal 20082011 as compared to fiscal 2007.2010. Operating income as a percentage of total revenue for fiscal 20082011 was 14.0%9.5% as compared to 14.6%9.9% for fiscal 2007.2010. The increase in operating income was primarily driven by higher revenue and associated gross margin. The decrease in operating income percentage was primarily due by increasedto higher amortization of purchased intangibles product mix and foreign exchange.


* Although our operating income increased on a year over year basis for the first nine months of the year, our operating income in the fourth quarter declined as compared to the corresponding quarter in the prior year.  Although we are reducing expenses, due to the current economic crisis, we may experience operating income decline in the first quarter of fiscal 2009 as compared to the corresponding period in the prior year.

acquisitions.

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 2006.2009. The increase in operating income was due toprimarily driven by higher revenue and associated gross marginmargin. 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.

Other Operating Expenses


Restructuring Charges

Restructuring expense for the three years ended January 2, 2009 was as follows:
  2008  2007  2006 
(in thousands)         
          
Severance and benefits $4,641  $3,025  $- 
During fiscal 2008, restructuring expense of $4.6 million was related to decisions to streamline processes and reduce the cost structure of the Company, with approximately 100 employees affected worldwide. Of the total restructuring expense, $2.7 million is shown as a separate line within Operating expense on our Consolidated Statements of Income, and $1.9 million is included within Cost of sales.  Additionally, $4.1 million is related to the Engineering and Construction segment and $0.5 million is related to the Mobile Solutions segment. As a result of the above decisions, we expect restructuring activities in the Engineering and Construction segment to result in additional restructuring expense totaling approximately $1.8 million through the first quarter of 2010. Additional restructuring activities have been announced in the first fiscal quarter of 2009.


During fiscal, 2007, restructuring expense of $3.0 million was for charges associated with the Company’s acquisition of @Road. The restructuring expense was related to the acceleration of vesting of employee stock options for certain terminated @Road employees, of which $1.4 million was settled in cash and $1.6 million was recorded as shareholders’ equity.

Restructuring costs associated with a business combination:
In addition to the restructuring expense in fiscal 2008, costs associated with exiting activities of companies we acquired in fiscal 2008 was $0.4 million, consisting of severance and benefits costs. These costs were recognized as a liability assumed in the business combinations and were included in the allocation of the cost to acquisitions and accordingly, resulted in an increase to goodwill rather than an expense in fiscal 2008. The Company also had $0.9 million in restructuring activity reversals related to costs associated with exiting activities of pre-merger @Road.  The reversals were primarily due to severance and benefits costs for employees whose positions were retained in a variety of functions. The reversals were recognized in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 as a reduction of the liability assumed in the purchase business combination that had been included in the allocation of the cost to acquire @Road and, accordingly, resulted in a decrease to goodwill rather than an expense reduction in fiscal 2008.

In addition to the restructuring expense in fiscal 2007, costs associated with exiting activities of pre-merger @Road of $3.6 million, consisted of severance and benefits costs.  These costs were recognized as a liability assumed in the purchase business combination and were included in the allocation of the cost to acquire @Road and accordingly, resulted in an increase to goodwill rather than an expense in fiscal 2007.

Restructuring liability:
The following table summarizes the restructuring activity for 2007 and 2008 (in thousands):

Balance as of December 30, 2006 $744 
Acquisition related              3,547 
Charges              3,025

Charges              4,641 
Payments            (3,351) 
Adjustment            (1,054) 
Balance as of January 2, 2009 $1,917 


As of January 2, 2009, the $1.9 million restructuring accrual consists of severance and benefits.  Of the $1.9 million restructuring accrual, $0.7 million is included in Other current liabilities and is expected to be settled by the first half of fiscal 2009.  The remaining balance of $1.2 million is included in Other non-current liabilities and is expected to be settled by the first quarter of fiscal 2010.

In-Process Research and Development
We recorded in-process research and development (IPR&D) expense of $2.1 million and $1.9 million related to acquisitions made in fiscal 2007 and 2006, respectively.  No IPR&D expense was recorded in fiscal 2008. At the date of each acquisition, the projects associated with the IPR&D efforts had not yet reached technological feasibility and the research and development in process had no alternative future uses. The value of the IPR&D was determined using a discounted cash flow model similar to the income approach, focusing on the income producing capabilities of the in-process technologies. Accordingly, the value assigned to these IPR&D amounts were charged to expense on the respective acquisition date of each of the acquired companies.

Income Tax Provision


Our effective income tax rate for fiscal years 2008, 20072011, 2010 and 20062009 was 26%11%, 36%27% and 30%27% respectively. The 20082011 and 2009 rates were less than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% primarily due to the geographical mix of our pre-tax income and to a lesser extent research and development tax credits and a settlement with the U.S. tax authorities. The 2010 rate was less than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% primarily due to the implementationgeographical mix of a global supply chain management structure.  In 2006our pre-tax income and 2007, we licensed our US intellectual property to a foreign affiliated legal entity and implemented a global supply chain management structure which streamlined our worldwide operations.  We believe thatvaluation allowance release, offset by the licensingnet impact of intellectual property was effected for consideration that was equivalent to arms-length negotiated pricing.  This resulted, beginning in 2008, in a tax savings due to a lower foreign tax rate.  For financial statement purposes and the Company’s policy with respect to its undistributed foreign subsidiaries’ earnings some of those earnings are to be indefinitely reinvested and, accordingly, no related provision for U.S. federal and state income taxes has been provided.  The 2007 rate was greater than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% due to impacts resulting from SFAS 123(R). The 2006 rate was less than the US federal statutory rate primarily due to operationsInternal Revenue Service (IRS) 2005 through 2007 audit settlement in foreign jurisdictions subject to an effective tax rate lower than the U.S. and the Extraterritorial Income Exclusion (ETI) deduction.



The Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008, Energy Improvement and Extension Act of 2008 and Tax Extenders and Alternative Minimum Tax Relief Act of 2008 (HR1424) was signed into law on October 3, 2008. This legislation includes a provision that retroactively extends the research tax credit from January 1, 2008 to December 31, 2009. The Company has included the $2.4 million benefit of the current year research credits in the quarter ended January 2, 2009.

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


It is not possible to determine the maximum potential amount under these indemnification agreements due to the limited history of prior indemnification claims and the unique facts and circumstances involved in each particular agreement. Historically, payments made by us under these agreements were not material and no liabilities have been recorded for these obligations on the Consolidated Balance Sheets asat the end of January 2, 2009fiscal 2011 and December 28, 2007.

fiscal 2010.

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


* We believe that our cash and cash equivalents, together with our revolving credit facilitiescash flow from operations will be sufficient to meet our anticipated operating cash needs, debt service, planned capital expenditures, and stock purchases under the stock repurchase program for at least the next twelve months.


* We anticipate that planned capital expenditures primarily for the building of a facility in Westminster, Colorado expected to begin in 2012, as well as 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.

TableRepatriation of ContentsForeign Earnings and Income Taxes


A significant portion of our foreign earnings continue to be permanently reinvested in our foreign subsidiaries, and it is anticipated this reinvestment will not impede cash needs at the parent company level. In our determination of which foreign earnings are permanently reinvested, we consider numerous factors, including the financial requirements of the U.S. parent company, the financial requirements of the foreign subsidiaries, and the tax consequences of remitting the foreign earnings back to the U.S. There are no other material impediments to our ability to access sources of liquidity and our resulting ability to meet short and long-term liquidity needs, other than in the event we are not in compliance with the covenants under our 2011 Credit Facility or the tax costs of remitting foreign earnings back to the U.S.

Debt


On May 6, 2011, we entered into a new credit agreement, or 2011 Credit Facility, with a group of lenders. This credit facility provides for unsecured credit facilities in the aggregate principal amount of $1.1 billion, comprised of a five-year revolving loan facility of $700.0 million and a five-year $400.0 million term loan facility. Subject to the terms of the 2011 Credit Facility, the revolving loan facility and the term loan facility may be increased by up to $300.0 million in the aggregate but we may no longer draw down on the term loan facility. Additionally, on July 14, 2011, we entered into a $50 million uncommitted revolving loan facility, which we call our 2011 Uncommitted Facility. This facility is callable by the bank at any time and has no covenants. The interest rate on the 2011 Uncommitted Facility is 1.00% plus either LIBOR, or the bank’s cost of funds or as otherwise agreed upon by the bank and us.

At the end of fiscal 2008,2011, our total debt was comprised primarily of oura term loan of $385.0 million and a revolving credit line of $133.3 million under the 2011 Credit Facility and a revolving credit line of $44.0 million under the 2011 Uncommitted Facility. Of the total outstanding balance, $365.0 million of the term loan and $133.3 million of the revolving credit line are classified as long-term in the amount of $151.0 million.Consolidated Balance Sheet. At the end of fiscal 2007, out total debt was primarily comprised of a term loan in the amount of $60.0 million, which was repaid during fiscal 2008.  As of January 2, 20092011, we had promissory notes and December 28, 2007, there were alsoother notes payable totaling approximately $588,000$2.1 million consisted primarily of notes payable of $1.7 million to noncontrolling interest holders of one of our consolidated subsidiaries. The notes bear interest at 6% and $690,000, respectively, consisting of government loans to foreign subsidiaries.


On July 28, 2005, we entered into a $200 million unsecured revolving credit agreement (the 2005 Credit Facility)have undefined payment terms, but are callable with a syndicate of 10 banks with The Bank of Nova Scotia as the administrative agent.  On February 16, 2007, we amended our existing $200 million unsecured revolving credit agreement with a syndicate of 11 banks with The Bank of Nova Scotia as the administrative agent (the 2007 Credit Facility). Under the 2007 Credit Facility, we exercised the option in the existing credit agreement to increase the availability under the revolving credit line by $100 million, for an aggregate availability of up to $300 million, and extended the maturity date of the revolving credit line by 18 months, from July 2010 to February 2012.  Up to $25 million of the availability under the revolving credit line may be used to issue letters of credit, and up to $20 million may be used for paying off other debts or loans.  The maximum leverage ratio under the 2007 Credit Facility is 3.00:1.00.   The funds available under the new 2007 Credit Facility may be used by us for acquisitions, stock repurchases, and general corporate purposes. As of August 20, 2008, we amended the 2007 Credit Facility to allow us to redeem, retire or purchase Trimble common stock. In addition, the definition of the fixed charge was amended to exclude the impact of redemptions, retirements, or purchases of Trimble common stock from the fixed charges coverage ratio.six month notification. For additional discussion of our debt, see Note 97 of Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

In addition, during

The funds available under the first2011 Credit Facility may be used for general corporate purposes, the financing of acquisitions and the payment of transaction fees and expenses related to such acquisitions. Under the 2011 Credit Facility, we may borrow, repay and reborrow funds under the revolving loan facility until its maturity on May 6, 2016, at which time the revolving facility will terminate, and all outstanding loans, together with all accrued and unpaid interest, must be repaid. Amounts not borrowed under the revolving facility will be subject to a commitment fee, to be paid in arrears on the last day of each fiscal quarter, ranging from 0.20% to 0.40% per annum depending on our leverage ratio as of the most recently ended fiscal 2007 we incurred a five-yearquarter. The term loan under the 2007 Credit Facility in an aggregate principal amount of $100 million, which waswill be repaid in full during fiscal 2008. 


quarterly installments, with the last quarterly payment to be made at April 1, 2016. On an annualized basis, the amortization of the term loan is as follows: 5%, 5%, 10%, 10%, and 70% for years one through five respectively. The term loan may be prepaid in whole or in part, subject to certain minimum thresholds, without penalty or premium. Amounts repaid or prepaid with respect to the term loan facility may not be reborrowed.

We may borrow funds under the 20072011 Credit Facility in U.S. Dollars, Euros or in certain other agreed currencies, and borrowings will bear interest, at our option, at either: (i) a floating per annum base rate based on the administrative agent'sagent’s prime rate plus a margin of between 0% and 0.125%, depending on our leverage ratio as of our most recently ended fiscal quarter, or (ii) a reserve-adjusted rate based on the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR), Euro Interbank Offered Rate (EURIBOR), Stockholm Interbank Offered Rate (STIBOR), or other agreed-upon rate, depending on the currency borrowed, plus a margin of between 0.625%0.25% and 1.125%1.25%, depending on our leverage ratio as of the most recently ended fiscal

quarter, or (ii) a reserve-adjusted fixed per annum rate based on LIBOR, EURIBOR, STIBOR or other agreed-upon rate, depending on the currency borrowed, plus a margin of between 1.25% and 2.25%, depending on our leverage ratio as of the most recently ended fiscal quarter. Interest will be paid on the last day of each fiscal quarter with respect to borrowings bearing interest based on a floating rate, or on the last day of an interest period, but at least every three months with respect to borrowings bearing interest at a fixed rate. Our obligations under the 20072011 Credit Facility are guaranteed by certainseveral of our domestic subsidiaries.


The 20072011 Credit Facility contains various customary representations and warranties by us. The 2011 Credit Facility also contains customary affirmative negative and financialnegative covenants including, among other requirements, negative covenants that restrict our ability to dispose of assets, create liens, incur indebtedness, repurchase stock, pay dividends, make acquisitions make investments, enter into mergers and consolidations and make capital expenditures, within certain limitations, andinvestments. Further, the 2011 Credit Facility contains financial covenants that require the maintenance of minimum interest coverage and maximum leverage ratios. Specifically, we must maintain as of the end of each fiscal quarter a ratio of (a) EBITDA (as defined in the 2011 Credit Facility) to (b) interest expenses for the most recently ended period of four fiscal quarters of not less than 3.5 to 1. We must also maintain, at the end of each fiscal quarter, a ratio of (x) total indebtedness to (y) EBITDA (as defined in the 2011 Credit Facility) for the most recently ended period of four fiscal quarters of not greater than the applicable ratio set forth in the table below; provided, that on the completion of a material acquisition, we may increase the applicable ratio in the table below by 0.25 for the fiscal quarter during which such acquisition occurred and fixed charge coverage ratios. each of the three subsequent fiscal quarters.

We were in compliance with these restrictive covenants at the end of fiscal 2011.

The 20072011 Credit Facility contains events of default that include, among others, non-payment of principal, interest or fees, breach of covenants, inaccuracy of representations and warranties, cross defaults to certain other indebtedness, bankruptcy and insolvency events, material judgments, and events constituting a change of control. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an event of default, interest on the obligations will accrue at an increased rate and the lenders may accelerate our obligations under the 20072011 Credit Facility, however that acceleration will be automatic in the case of bankruptcy and insolvency events of default.  As of January 2, 2009 we were in compliance with all financial debt covenants.

TableRECONCILIATION OF GAAP TO NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

Our non-GAAP measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP measures. The non-GAAP financial measures included in the following table are set forth below:

Non-GAAP gross margin

We believe our investors benefit by understanding our non-GAAP gross margin as a way of Contentsunderstanding how product mix, pricing decisions and manufacturing costs influence our business. Non-GAAP gross margin excludes restructuring costs, amortization of purchased intangibles, stock-based compensation and amortization of acquisition-related inventory step-up from GAAP gross margin. We believe that these exclusions offer investors additional information that may be useful to view trends in our gross margin performance.

Non-GAAP operating expenses


We believe this measure is important to investors evaluating our non-GAAP spending in relation to revenue. Non-GAAP operating expenses exclude restructuring costs, amortization of purchased intangibles, stock-based compensation and acquisition costs associated with external and incremental costs resulting directly from merger and acquisition activities such as legal, due diligence and integration costs from GAAP operating expenses. We believe that these exclusions offer investors supplemental information to facilitate comparison of our operating expenses to our prior results.

Non-GAAP operating income

We believe our investors benefit by understanding our non-GAAP operating income trends which are driven by revenue, gross margin, and spending. Non-GAAP operating income excludes restructuring costs, amortization of purchased intangibles, stock-based compensation, amortization of acquisition-related inventory step-up and acquisition costs associated with external and incremental costs resulting directly from merger and acquisition activities such as legal, due diligence and integration costs. We believe that these exclusions offer an alternative means for our investors to evaluate current operating performance compared to results of other periods.

Non-GAAP non-operating income, net

We believe this measure helps investors evaluate our non-operating income trends. Non-GAAP non-operating income, net excludes acquisition gains or costs associated with 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 earn-out liabilities and payments made or received to settle earn-out and holdback disputes. These costs are specific to particular acquisitions and vary significantly in amount and timing. Non-GAAP non-operating income, net also excludes the write-off of debt issuance costs associated with a terminated credit facility as well as a foreign exchange gain specifically associated with two of our larger acquisitions. We believe that these exclusions provide investors with a supplemental view of our ongoing financial results.

Non-GAAP income tax provision

Investors benefit from the exclusion of an IRS settlement because it facilitates comparisons to our past income tax provision. Non-GAAP income tax provision excludes an IRS settlement and a valuation allowance release from GAAP income tax provision and includes non-GAAP items tax effected. Non-GAAP items tax effected adjusts the provision for income taxes to reflect the effect of certain non-GAAP items on non-GAAP net income. We believe this information is useful to investors because it provides for consistent treatment of the excluded items in our non-GAAP presentation.

Non-GAAP net income

This measure provides a supplemental view of net income trends which are driven by non-GAAP income before taxes and our non-GAAP tax rate. Non-GAAP net income excludes restructuring costs, amortization of purchased intangibles, stock-based compensation, amortization of acquisition-related inventory step-up, acquisition costs, the write-off of debt issuance costs, a foreign exchange gain associated with two of our larger acquisitions, and non-GAAP tax adjustments from GAAP net income. We believe our investors benefit from understanding these exclusions and from an alternative view of our net income performance as compared to our past net income performance.

Non-GAAP diluted net income per share

We believe our investors benefit by understanding our non-GAAP operating performance as reflected in a per share calculation as a way of measuring non-GAAP operating performance by ownership in the company. Non-GAAP diluted net income per share excludes restructuring costs, amortization of purchased intangibles, stock-based compensation, amortization of acquisition-related inventory step-up, acquisition costs, the write-off of debt issuance costs, a foreign exchange gain associated with two acquisitions, and non-GAAP tax adjustments from GAAP diluted net income per share. We believe that these exclusions offer investors a useful view of our diluted net income per share as compared to our past diluted net income per share.

Non-GAAP operating leverage

We believe this information is beneficial to investors as a measure of how much incremental revenue is contributed to our operating income. Non-GAAP operating leverage is the increase in non-GAAP operating income as a percentage of the increase in revenue. We believe that this information offers investors supplemental information to evaluate our current performance and to compare to our past non-GAAP operating leverage.

Non-GAAP segment operating income

Non-GAAP segment operating income excludes stock-based compensation from GAAP segment operating income. We believe this information is useful to investors because some may exclude stock-based compensation as an alternative view when assessing trends in the operating income of our segments.

These non-GAAP measures can be used to evaluate our historical and prospective financial performance, as well as our performance relative to competitors. We believe some of our investors track our “core operating performance” as a means of evaluating our performance in the ordinary, ongoing, and customary course of our operations. Core operating performance excludes items that are non-cash, not expected to recur or not reflective of ongoing financial results. Management also believes that looking at our core operating performance provides a supplemental way to provide consistency in period to period comparisons. Accordingly, management excludes from non-GAAP those items relating to restructuring, amortization of purchased intangibles, stock based compensation, amortization of acquisition-related inventory step-up, acquisition costs, the write-off of debt issuance costs, a foreign exchange gain associated with two acquisitions, and certain tax charges/benefits of which $27.5 million is associated with the IRS settlement and $7.6 million is associated with valuation allowance release benefit. For detailed explanations of the adjustments made to comparable GAAP measures, see items (A) – (L) below.

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 do not reflect expected future operating expenses, they are not indicative of our core operating performance, and they are not meaningful in comparisons to our past operating performance.
B.Amortization of purchased intangibles. Included in our GAAP presentation of gross margin, operating expenses, operating income, and net income is amortization of purchased intangibles. US GAAP accounting requires that intangible assets are recorded at fair value and amortized over their useful lives. Consequently, the timing and size of our acquisitions will cause our operating results to vary from period to period making a comparison to past performance difficult for investors. This accounting treatment may cause differences when comparing our results to companies that grow internally because the fair value assigned to the intangible assets acquired through acquisition may significantly exceed the equivalent expenses that a company may incur for similar efforts when performed internally. Furthermore, the useful life that we expense our intangible assets over may be substantially different from the time period that an internal growth company incurs and recognizes such expenses. We believe that by excluding purchased intangibles which primarily represents technology and/or customer relationships already developed, it enhances comparability by allowing investors to compare our operations pre-acquisition to those post-acquisitions and to those of our competitors that have pursued internal growth strategies.

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 fiscal years 2011, 2010 and 2009, stock-based compensation was allocated as follows:

   Fiscal Years

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 it is a non-cash expense that we do not believe is indicative of our ongoing operating results. We further believe that excluding this item from our non-GAAP results is useful to investors in that it allows for period-over-period comparability.
E.Acquisition costs. Included in our GAAP presentation of operating expenses, acquisition costs consist of external and incremental costs resulting directly from merger and acquisition activities such as legal, due diligence and integration costs. Included in our GAAP presentation of non-operating income, net, acquisition gain includes 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 earn-out liabilities and payments made or received to settle earn-out and holdback disputes. Although we do numerous acquisitions, the costs that have been excluded from the non-GAAP measures are costs specific to particular acquisitions. These are one-time costs that vary significantly in amount and timing and are not indicative of our core operating performance.
F.Debt issuance cost write-off. Included in our non-operating income, net this amount represents a write-off of debt issuance cost for a terminated credit facility. We excluded the debt issuance cost write-off from our non-GAAP measures. We believe that investors benefit from excluding this item from our non-operating income to facilitate a more meaningful evaluation of our non-operating income trends.
G.Foreign exchange gain associated with acquisitions. This amount represents the net gain on foreign exchange hedges associated with two of our larger acquisitions. We excluded the foreign exchange from our non-GAAP measures because we believe that the exclusion of this item provides investors an enhanced view of the cost structure of our operations and facilitates comparisons with the results of other periods.
H.Non-GAAP items tax effected. This amount adjusts the provision for income taxes to reflect the effect of the non-GAAP items (A) – (G) on non-GAAP net income. We believe this information is useful to investors because it provides for consistent treatment of the excluded items in this non-GAAP presentation.
I.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 future operating results. We believe that investors benefit from excluding this charge from our operating results to facilitate comparisons to past operating performance.
J.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 from our non-GAAP results to enhance comparability of results across periods.
K.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. We believe that investors benefit from a presentation of non-GAAP tax rate percentage as a way of facilitating a comparison to non-GAAP tax rates in prior periods.
L.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 as it is a non-cash expense. 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 $10.5 million, $7.9 million, and $5.5 million for fiscal years 2011, 2010, and 2009, respectively.

Non-GAAP Operating Income

Non-GAAP operating income increased by $74.5 million for fiscal 2011 as compared to fiscal 2010, and increased by $45.6 million for fiscal 2010 as compared to fiscal 2009. Non-GAAP operating income as a percentage of total revenue was 17.8%, 16.8%, and 15.3% for fiscal years 2011, 2010, and 2009, respectively.

The increase in operating income and operating income percentage during fiscal 2011 compared to fiscal 2010 was primarily driven by higher revenue and associated operating leverage in Engineering and Construction and Field Solutions. The increase in operating income and operating income percentage during fiscal 2010 compared to fiscal 2009 was primarily driven by higher revenue and associated operating leverage in Engineering and Construction and Field Solutions, partially offset by Mobile Solutions.


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 consisted primarily of money market funds, treasury bills, commercial paper (FDIC insured), interest and non-interest bearing bank deposits as well as bank time deposits for fiscal 2008 and 2007.deposits. The main objective of these instruments wasis safety of principal and liquidity while maximizing return, without significantly increasing risk.


* Due to the short-term nature of our cash equivalents, 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 2011 credit facility is comprised of an unsecured term loan and a revolving credit agreement with a maturity datedates of February 2012.May, 2016 and also an unsecured uncommitted revolving credit agreement that is callable by the bank at any time. We may borrow funds under the revolving credit agreementthese facilities in U.S. Dollars or in certain other currencies and borrowings will bear interest as described under Note 97 of Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.


As

At the end of January 2, 2009, we had an outstanding balance on thefiscal 2011, our total debt was comprised primarily of a term loan of $385.0 million and a revolving credit line of $151.0$133.3 million under the 2011 Credit Facility and during fiscal 2008, we repaida revolving credit line of $44.0 million under the remaining outstanding principal balance on our term loan.2011 Uncommitted Facility. A hypothetical 10% increase in the three-monthone-month LIBOR rates could result in approximately $0.2 million$167,000 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 operate in international markets, which expose us to market risk associated with foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations between the U.S. Dollar and various foreign currencies, the most significant of which is the Euro.

Historically, the majority of our revenue contracts are denominated in U.S. Dollars, with the most significant exception being Europe, where we invoice primarily in Euros. Additionally, a portion of our operating expenses, primarily the cost to manufacture, cost of personnel to deliver technical support on our products and professional

services, sales and sales support and research and development, are denominated in foreign currencies, primarily the Euro, Swedish Krona, New Zealand Dollar and Canadian Dollar. Revenue resulting from selling in local currencies and costs incurred in local currencies are exposed to foreign exchange rate fluctuations which can affect our operating income. As exchange rates vary, operating income may differ from expectations. In fiscal 2011 and 2010, the impact to operating income was immaterial.

We enter into foreign exchange forward contracts and 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.


We occasionally enter into foreign exchange forward contracts to hedge the purchase price of some of our larger business acquisitions. Foreign exchange forward contracts outstanding asat the end of January 2, 2009fiscal 2011 and December 28, 20072010 are summarized as follows (in thousands):

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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 U.S. generally accepted 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,impairment, 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 2008 was a 53-week year2011, 2010 and ended on January 2, 2009. Fiscal 2007 and fiscal 20062009 were bothall 52-week years, and ended on December 28, 200730, 2011, December 31, 2010 and December 29, 2006,January 1, 2010, respectively. 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. MinorityNoncontrolling interests in consolidated subsidiaries represent the minoritynoncontrolling shareholders’ proportionate share of the net assets and results of operations of the Company’s majority-ownedconsolidated subsidiaries.


On January 17, 2007,

The Company has evaluated all subsequent events through the Company’s board of directors approved a 2-for-1 split of all outstanding shares ofdate that these financial statements have been filed with the Company’s Common Stock, payable February 22, 2007Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). No material subsequent events have occurred since December 31, 2011 that required recognition or disclosure in these financial statements.

Certain amounts from prior periods have been reclassified to stockholders of record on February 8, 2007. All shares and per share information presented has been adjustedconform to reflect the stock split on a retroactive basis for all periods presented.


current period 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. 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.



Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair value of certain of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, and other accrued liabilities approximate cost because of their short maturities. The fair value of investments is determined using quoted market prices for those securities or similar financial instruments.

Concentration of Risk

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 itsthese 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 impairedobsolescence 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.


Internal-Use Software Development Costs

The Company capitalizes material software development costs for internal use pursuant to Statement of Position No. 98-1, “Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use.”

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 and in-process research and development acquired in a business combination. Intangible assets acquired individually, with a group of other assets, or in a business combination are recorded at fair 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 twelveten years with a weighted average useful life of 6.5 years. Goodwill is not subject to amortization, but is subject to at least an annual assessment for impairment, applying a fair-value based test.



Impairment of Goodwill, Intangible Assets and Other Long-Lived Assets

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.


At the end of fiscal 2011, 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 fiscal 2009.

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 to distributors and resellers is recognized upon shipment, assuming all other criteria for revenue recognition have been met. Distributors and resellers do not 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 applies Statement of Position (SOP) No. 97-2, “Software Revenue Recognition,” to products where the embedded software is more than incidental to the functionality of the hardware. This determination requires significant judgment including a consideration of factors such as marketing, research and development efforts and any post contract support (PCS) relating to the embedded software.


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 there are nofair value has been established for all remaining obligations. Revenue from PCS is recognized ratably over the termundelivered elements.

Upfront fees for the Company’s hosted solution primarilysolutions typically consist of amounts for the in-vehicle enabling hardware device and peripherals, if any.peripherals.

The Company’s multiple deliverable product offerings include hardware with embedded firmware, extended warranty and PCS services, which are considered separate units of accounting. For upfront fees relating to proprietary hardware where the firmware is more than incidental to the functionalitycertain of the hardware in accordance with SOP No. 97-2,Company’s products, software and non-software components function together to deliver the tangible product’s essential functionality.

In evaluating the revenue recognition for agreements which contain multiple deliverable arrangements, the Company defersdetermined that in certain instances the upfront fees at installation and recognizes them ratably overCompany was not able to establish VSOE for some or all deliverables in an arrangement as the minimum service contract period, generally oneCompany 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 five years. Product costs are also deferred and amortized over such period.


In accordance with EITF Issue 00-21, “Accounting for Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables,” when a non-software sale involves multiple elementsestablish the entire fee from the arrangement is allocated toselling price of each respective 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 relative fair valuebest estimate of selling price (BESP) in the Company’s allocation of arrangement consideration. The objective of BESP is to determine the price at which the Company would transact a sale if the product or service were sold on a stand-alone basis. BESP is generally used for offerings that are not typically sold on a stand-alone basis or for new or highly customized offerings. The Company determines BESP for a product or service by considering multiple factors including, but not limited to, pricing practices, market conditions, competitive landscape, internal costs, geographies and recognized when revenue recognition criteria for each elementgross margin. The determination of BESP is met.


made through consultation with and formal approval by the Company’s management, taking into consideration the Company’s go-to-market strategy.

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 asat the end of January 2, 2009fiscal 2011 and December 28, 2007.

Options

benefit plans, which are described more fully in “Note 12: Employee Stock Benefit Plans.” Stock option expense recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Income is based on the fair value of the portion of share-based payment awards that is expected to vest during the period and is net of estimated forfeitures. For fiscal 2008, 2007 and 2006 the stock option expense includes compensation expense for stock options granted prior to, but not yet vested as of December 30, 2005 based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123 and compensation expense for the stock options granted subsequent to December 30, 2005 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), theThe Company changed its method of attributingattributes the value of stock options to expense from the accelerated multiple-option approach tousing the straight-line single option method. Compensation expense for all stock options granted on or prior to December 30, 2005 will continue to be recognized using the accelerated multiple-option approach while compensation expense for all stock options granted subsequent to December 30, 2005 is recognized using the straight-line single-option method.


For options granted prior to October 1, 2005, theThe grant date fair value for these options wasoption is 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 model, the weighted average grant-date fair value of stock options granted during fiscal years 2008, 2007 and 2006 were $8.80, $12.37 and $8.04, respectively. For options granted for the three years ending January 2, 2009, the following weighted-average assumptions were used:
  January 2,  December 28,  December 29, 
Fiscal Years Ended 2009  2007  2006 
Expected dividend yield  -   -   - 
Expected stock price volatility  45%  37%  42%
Risk free interest rate  2.50%  4.20%  4.80%
Expected life of options after vesting 1.3 years  1.3 years  1.3 years 


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

Expected Stock Price Volatility – The Company’s computation of expected volatility is based on a combination of implied volatilities from traded options on the Company’s stock and historical volatility. 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 the 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 grantedto purchase shares under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan wasis 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 2008, 2007 and 2006 were $8.30, $7.54 and $5.16, respectively. The fair value of rights granted during 2008, 2007 and 2006 was estimated at the date of grant using the following weighted-average assumptions:
  January 2,  December 28,  December 29, 
Fiscal Years Ended 2009  2007  2006 
Expected dividend yield  -   -   - 
Expected stock price volatility  44.0%  36.5%  35.5%
Risk free interest rate  2.70%  4.90%  4.80%
Expected life of purchase 0.5 years  0.5 years  0.6years 

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 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 $19.0$20.5 million in fiscal 2008, $17.22011, $18.2 million in fiscal 20072010 and $13.5$18.8 million in fiscal 2006.

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,Singapore 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 doThe Company occasionally enters into foreign exchange forward contracts to hedge the purchase price of some of larger business acquisitions. The Company does 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 1210 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 the Company will not realize these deferred tax assets, and, accordingly, a valuation allowance has been provided for such amounts. Valuation allowance adjustments associated with an acquisition after the measurement period are recorded through income tax expense.

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,May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued SFAS No. 158, "Employers' Accountingamended guidance on fair value measurement and related disclosures. The new guidance clarified the concepts applicable for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans, an amendmentfair value measurement of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R)."  SFAS 158 requires companies to recognize 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 accumulated at the date of adoption due to delayed recognition of actuarial gains and losses, prior service costs and credits, and transitionnon-financial assets and obligations, and provide additional disclosures. SFAS 158 is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2006. On December 28, 2006,requires the Company adopteddisclosure of quantitative information about the recognition and disclosure provisions of SFAS 158.  The effect of adopting these provisions of SFAS 158 on the Company’s financial condition at December 29, 2006, December 28, 2007 and January 2, 2009 has been includedunobservable inputs used in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.  SFAS 158 also requires companies to measure the funded status of the plan as of the date of its fiscal year-end, with limited exceptions, effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008.a fair value measurement. This provision of SFAS 158 wasguidance became effective for the Company and was adopted in the fourth quarter of fiscal year ended 2008.2011. The adoption of SFAS No. 158the guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.  See Note 15 to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information. 



In September 2006,June 2011, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements,” which clarifiesamended guidance on the definitionpresentation of fair value, establishescomprehensive income. The amended guidance eliminates the option provided by current U.S. GAAP to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity. In addition, it gives an entity the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a framework for measuring fair value within GAAP and expandssingle continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. The requirement to present reclassification adjustments out of accumulated other comprehensive income on the disclosures regarding fair value measurements.  In February 2008,face of the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 157-2 deferring the effective dateconsolidated statement of SFAS No. 157 to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a nonrecurring basis.income has been deferred. The Company adopted SFAS No. 157will adopt this guidance in itsthe first quarter of fiscal 2008, except for those items specifically deferred under FSP No. FAS 157-2.  The2012. Other than requiring changes to the financial statement presentation, the adoption of SFAS No. 157 didthe guidance will have no impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In August 2011, the FASB approved a revised accounting standard update intended to simplify how an entity tests goodwill for impairment. The amendment gives an entity the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the two-step quantitative goodwill impairment test. An entity no longer will be required to calculate the fair value of a reporting unit unless the entity determines, based on a qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not have a material impact, nor doesthat its fair value is less than its carrying amount. This accounting standard update will be effective for the Company expect thatat the fullbeginning of fiscal 2012 and early adoption is permitted. The Company will adopt this guidance in the fiscal 20092012. Other than the disclosure impact, the adoption of the guidance will have ano material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.


In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115.”  SFAS No. 159 allows an entity the irrevocable option to elect fair value for the initial and subsequent measurement for certain financial assets and liabilities under an instrument-by-instrument election. Subsequent measurements for the financial assets and liabilities an entity elects to fair value will be recognized in earnings. SFAS No. 159 also establishes additional disclosure requirements. SFAS No. 159 became effective for the Company at the beginning of its first quarter of fiscal 2008.  The Company did not elect the fair value option for any of its financial assets or liabilities.  However, the Company may decide to elect the fair value option on new items in the future. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), “Business Combinations”. SFAS No. 141(R) establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase.  SFAS No. 141(R) also sets forth the disclosures required to be made in the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS No. 141(R) applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Accordingly, the Company will adopt this standard in fiscal 2009.  The Company continues to evaluate the impact of the adoption of SFAS No. 141(R) on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows, which will be largely dependent on the size and nature of the business combinations subject to this statement.  When SFAS 141(R) becomes effective, any tax related adjustments associated with acquisition that closed prior to January 3, 2009 (and after the measurement period) will be recorded through income tax expense, whereas the current accounting treatment (under SFAS 141) would require any adjustment to be recognized through the purchase price.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51”. SFAS 160 will change the accounting and reporting for minority interests, which will be recharacterized as non-controlling interests (NCI) and classified as a component of equity. This new consolidation method will significantly change the accounting for transactions with minority interest holders.  SFAS 160 requires retroactive adoption of the presentation and disclosure requirements for existing minority interests. All other requirements of SFAS 160 shall be applied prospectively.  SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 and, as such, the Company will adopt this standard in fiscal 2009.  The Company continues to evaluate the impact of the adoption of SFAS No. 160 on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows, which will be largely dependent on the size and nature of the non-controlling interests subject to this statement.

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures About Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities - An Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133”, which requires enhanced disclosures about (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS 133 and its related interpretations, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS No. 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged.  The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 161 will have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In May 2008, the FASB issued Statement No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”.  This Statement identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States (the GAAP hierarchy).  This Statement shall be effective November 16, 2008.   The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

The Company reviewed and adjusted @Road's net tangible assets and liabilities to fair value, as necessary, as of February 16, 2007, including the following adjustments:
Fixed assets – the Company decreased @Road's historical value of fixed assets by $2.1 million to adjust fixed assets to an amount equivalent to fair value.
Deferred revenue and cost of sales – the Company reduced @Road's historical value of deferred revenue by $39.6 million to adjust deferred revenue to the fair value of the direct cost associated with servicing the underlying obligation plus a reasonable margin. @Road’s deferred revenue balance consists of upfront payments of its hosted product, licensed product, extended warranty and maintenance. The Company reduced @Road's historical value of deferred product cost by $47.1 million to adjust deferred product cost to the asset's underlying fair value. The deferred product costs adjustment to fair value related to deferral of cost of sales of hardware that have shipped, resulting in no fair value relating to the associated deferred product costs.
Other receivables and non-current assets – Other receivables and non-current assets were increased by $15.4 million to adjust for the fair value of future cash collections from customer contracts assumed for products delivered prior to the acquisition date.  As the products were delivered prior to the acquisition date, revenue is not recognizable in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income.
Intangible Assets
Developed product technology, which is comprised of products that have reached technological feasibility, includes products in @Road's current product offerings. @Road's technology includes hardware, software and services that serve the mobile resource management market internationally. The Company expects to amortize the developed and core technology over a weighted average estimated life of seven years.
Customer relationships represent the value placed on @Road’s distribution channels and end users. The Company expects to amortize the fair value of these assets over a weighted average estimated life of seven years.
Trademarks and trade names represent the value placed on the @Road brand and recognition in the mobile resource management market. The Company expects to amortize the fair value of these assets over a weighted average estimated life of eight years.
In-process Research and Development
The Company recorded an expense of $2.1 million relating to in-process research and development projects in @Road’s license business.  In-process research and development represents incomplete @Road research and development projects that had not reached technological feasibility and had no alternative future use as of the consummation of the merger.

Goodwill
The excess purchase price over the net tangible, identifiable intangible assets and in-process research and development was recorded as goodwill. The goodwill was attributed to the premium paid for the opportunity to expand and better serve the global mobile resource management market and achieve greater long-term growth opportunities than either company had operating alone. The Company believes these opportunities could include accelerating the rate at which products are brought to market and increasing the diversity and global reach of those products. In addition, the Company expects that the combined companies may be able to obtain greater operating leverage by reducing costs in areas of redundancy.   Of the total $265.2 million assigned to goodwill, approximately $6.7 million is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.
Restructuring
Liabilities related to restructuring @Road's operations that meet the requirements of EITF 95-3, “Recognition of Liabilities in Connection with a Purchase Business Combination,” were recorded as adjustments to the purchase price and an increase in goodwill. Liabilities related to restructuring the Company's operations were recorded as expense in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Income in the period that the costs were incurred.

Deferred Income Tax Assets/Liabilities
The Company recognized $56.9 million in net deferred tax liabilities for the tax effects of differences between assigned values in the purchase price and the tax bases of assets acquired and liabilities assumed.

@Road Stock Options Assumed
In accordance with the merger agreement, the Company assumed all @Road unvested stock options that had exercise prices of $7.50 or less.  The Company issued approximately 795,000 stock options based on an exchange ratio of 0.268 shares of the Company’s common stock for each unvested stock option with exercise prices of $7.50 or less as of February 16, 2007.  The fair value of these assumed options was determined to be $10.1 million which will be expensed over the remaining vesting terms of the assumed options which is approximately three to four years.  The assumed options were valued using the binomial model similar to previously granted Trimble stock options.

The Consolidated Financial Statements include the operating results of each of these businesses from the date of acquisition. Pro-forma resultsFor certain acquisitions completed in fiscal 2011, the fair value of operations have not been presented because the effects of each of these acquisitions were not material 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 theirare preliminary and may be adjusted as the Company obtains additional information, primarily related to adjustments for the true up of acquired net working capital in accordance with certain purchase agreements, and estimated values of certain net tangible assets and liabilities including tax balances, pending the completion of final studies and analyses. If there are adjustments made for these items the fair values asvalue of intangible asset and goodwill could be impacted. Thus the provisional measurements of fair value set forth below are subject to change. Such changes could be significant. The Company expects to finalize the valuation of the datenet tangible and intangible assets as soon as practicable, but not later than one-year from the acquisition date.

The fair value of acquisition.identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed were determined under the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations. The excess of purchase consideration over the fair value of net

tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired was recorded as goodwill. The fair value of intangible assets acquired is generally determined based on a discounted cash flow analysis. Acquisition costs directly related to the acquisitions were capitalized.


Atexpensed as incurred.

The following table summarizes the date of each acquisition, the projects associated with in-process research and development (IPR&D) efforts had not yet reached technological feasibility and the research and development in process had no alternative future uses. Accordingly, the value assigned to these IPR&D amounts were charged to expense on the respective acquisition date of each of the acquired companies. The Company recorded IPR&D expense of $1.9 million relating to acquisitions made in fiscal 2006.   The IPR&D of $2.1 million recordedCompany’s business combinations completed during fiscal 2007 related entirely to the acquisition of @Road. There was no IPR&D associated with acquisitions in fiscal 2008.

  2008  2007  2006 
(in thousands)         
          
Severance and benefits $4,641  $3,025  $- 

During fiscal 2008, restructuring expense of $4.6 million was related to decisions to streamline processes and reduce the cost structure of the Company, with approximately 100 employees affected worldwide. Of the total restructuring expense, $2.7 million is shown as a separate line within Operating expense on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income, and $1.9 million is included within Cost of sales.  Additionally, $4.1 million is related to the Engineering and Construction segment and $0.5 million is related to the Mobile Solutions segment. As a result of above decisions, the Company expects restructuring activities2009.

Long-lived assets indicated in the Engineeringtable below primarily include property and Construction segment to result in additional restructuring expense totaling approximately $1.8 million through the first quarterequipment, net, demo inventory net, non-qualified stock compensation plan, deposits, deferred cost of 2010.


During fiscal 2007, restructuring expense of $3.0 million was for charges associated with the Company’s acquisition of @Road. The restructuring expense was related to the acceleration of vesting of employee stock options for certain terminated @Road employees, of which $1.4 million was settled in cashsales, and $1.6 million was recorded as Shareholders’ equity.

Restructuring costs associated with business combinations:
In addition to the restructuring expense in fiscal 2008, costs associated with exiting activities of companies the Company acquired in fiscal 2008 was $0.4 million, consisting of severance and benefits costs. These costs were recognized as a liability assumed in the purchase business combinations and were included in the allocation of the cost to acquisitions and accordingly, resulted in an increase to goodwill rather than an expense in fiscal 2008. The Company also had $0.9 million in restructuring activity reversals related to costs associated with exiting activities of pre-merger @Road.  The reversals were primarily due to severance and benefits costs for employees whose positions were retained in a variety of functions. The reversals were recognized in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 as a reduction of the liability assumed in the purchase business combination that had been included in the allocation of the cost to acquire @Road and, accordingly, resulted in a decrease to goodwill rather than an expense reduction in fiscal 2008.

In addition to the restructuring expense in fiscal 2007, costs associated with exiting activities of pre-merger @Road of $3.6 million, consisted of severance and benefits costs.  These costs were recognized as a liability assumed in the purchase business combination and were included in the allocation of the cost to acquire @Road and accordingly, resulted in an increase to goodwill rather than an expense in fiscal 2007.

NOTE 11:9: FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS


As discussed in Note 2, SFAS No. 157, whichMEASUREMENTS

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


Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring basis in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets are categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their fair value. Hierarchical levels, defined by SFAS No. 157 andthe 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 – I—Observable inputs such as unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.


Level II – 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 – 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.

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.

(4)(3)Derivative assets and liabilities included in Level II primarily represent forward currency exchange contracts. The Company typically 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 eight contingent consideration arrangements that require it to pay the former owners of certain companies it acquired during fiscal 2011, 2010 and 2009. The undiscounted maximum payment under all seven arrangements is $12.8 million at the end of fiscal 2011, based on future revenues or gross margins. 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 0.06% to 3.50% for fiscal 2011 and 0.00% to 0.61% for fiscal 2010, respectively. At the end of fiscal 2011 and 2010, of the total contingent consideration liability, $4.5 million and $1.7 million was included in Other current liabilities, respectively, and $0.5 million and $2.0 million was included in Other non-current liabilities, respectively, on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. During fiscal 2011 and 2010, the fair value of contingent consideration arrangements for businesses acquired by the Company was $2.8 million and $3.9 million, respectively. The Company recognized $0.3 million and $2.3 million, respectively, as a gain in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income for changes in fair value, and made payments of $1.2 million.

At the end of fiscal 2011, the Company has $15.3 million, $0.6 million and $7.7 million of tax effected U.S. federal, stateCalifornia and foreign net operating loss carryforwards, (expiringor NOLs, of approximately $29.1 million, $13.8 million, and $89.3 million, respectively. The federal and California NOLs expire in years 20202017 through 2028 for federal and state carryovers,2031. There is, generally, no expiration for the foreign carryovers) from acquisitions.NOLs. Utilization of the Company’s net operating loss carryforwardsfederal and state NOLs are subject to annual limitations due to ownership changes provided byin accordance with the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. applicable tax code.

The Company has federal research and development credit carryforwards of $2.0$2.4 million (expiring in years 20192012 through 2024) and stateCalifornia research and development credit carryforwards of approximately $15.2$15.8 million that can be carried over indefinitely.

The Company’s valuation allowance is primarily attributable to acquisition relatedforeign net operating loss and research and development credit carryforwards. Management believesThe Company has determined that it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize these deferred tax assets and, accordingly, a valuation allowance has been established for such amounts.


On September 30, 2008,

At the Stateend of California enacted Assembly Bill 1452 into law which among other provisions, suspends net operating loss deductions for 2008 and 2009 and extends the carryforward period of any net operating losses not utilized due to such suspension; adopts the federal 20-year net operating loss carryforward period; phases-in the federal two-year net operating loss carryback periods beginning infiscal 2011, and limits the utilization of tax credits to the extent of 50 percent of a taxpayer’s taxable income.  The Company recorded additional state tax provision, net of federal benefits as a result of this law change in the fourth quarter of 2008.


The U.S. Federal Tax Extenders and Alternative Minimum Tax Relief Act of 2008 was signed into law on October 3, 2008. Under this law, the federal research and development tax credit was retroactively extended for amounts paid or incurred after December 31, 2007 and before January 1, 2010. The effect of the change in this law for the Company was an increase of $2.4 million in credits for the quarter ended January 2, 2009.

The Company’s policy with respect to its undistributed foreign subsidiaries’ earnings is to consider some of those earnings to be indefinitely reinvested and, accordingly, no related provision for U.S. federal and state income taxes has been provided.  Upon distribution of those earnings in the form of dividends or otherwise, the Company may be subject to both U.S. income taxes (subject to an adjustment for foreign tax credits) and foreign withholding taxes.  As of January 2, 2009 the Company’s foreign subsidiary accumulated undistributed earnings that are intended to be indefinitely reinvested outside the U.S. iswere approximately $58.3$178.4 million. The amount of the unrecognized deferred tax liability on this amount is approximately $19.2$62.5 million.

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 stateincome tax audits for years through 2009 with the exception of acquired companies. State income tax matters have been concluded for years through 1992.  Non-U.S.1992 and non-U.S. income tax matters have been concluded for years through 2000. The Company is currently in various stages of multiple year examinations by Federal, State,federal, state, and foreign (including France and Germany) taxing authorities.  The Company does not anticipate a significant impact to the unrecognized tax benefits balance with respect to current tax examinations. Although the timing of the resolution and/or closure on audits is highly uncertain, the Company does not believe that the unrecognized tax benefits would materially change in the next twelve months.


In fiscal 2010, as part of the IRS settlement, the Company agreed to revise a valuation and payment arrangement for a non-exclusive license of specified Company intellectual property to a foreign-based Company subsidiary. This resulted in a net charge of $27.5 million, net of a release of liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits. The release of these liabilities for the unrecognized tax benefits is included under ‘Other reductions for tax positions related to prior years’ in the table above.

The Company’s continuing practice is to recognize interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. The Company’s UTB liability includesincluding interest and penalties at January 2, 2009 and December 30, 2007, of $4.4 million and $3.1 million, respectively, which werewas recorded in Other non-current liabilities in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

Under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan, rights to purchase up to 1,128,700 shares are generally granted during the second and fourth quarter of Trimble’s Commoneach year. The fair value of rights granted under the Employee Stock over a fixedPurchase 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 2011, 2010 and 2009 was $10.81, $6.94 and $5.28, respectively. The fair value of rights granted during 2011, 2010 and 2009 was estimated at the date of grant using the following weighted-average assumptions:

Fiscal Years

  2011  2010  2009 

Expected dividend yield

   —      —      —    

Expected stock price volatility

   34.0  35.5  53.1

Risk free interest rate

   0.16  0.20  0.90

Expected life of purchase

   0.5 years    0.5 years    0.5 years  

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

Expected Stock Price Volatility—The Company’s computation of expected volatility is based on 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 time. Initially, Spectra-Physics’ warrant entitled it tothe purchase 600,000 sharesplan.

Fair value of Common Trimble Options

Stock over a five-year period at an exercise priceoption expense recognized in the Consolidated Statements 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 untilIncome is based on 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 warrantsportion of $2.4 millionshare-based payment awards that is expected to vest during the period and is net of estimated

forfeitures. The Company’s compensation expense for stock options is recognized using the straight-line single option method. The fair value for stock option is estimated on the date of grant using the binomial valuation 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 model, the weighted average grant-date fair value of stock options granted during fiscal years 2011, 2010 and 2009 was $15.23, $11.85, and $7.92, respectively. For options granted during fiscal 2011, 2010 and 2009, the following weighted-average assumptions were used:

Fiscal Years

  2011  2010  2009 

Expected dividend yield

   —      —      —    

Expected stock price volatility

   45  43  45

Risk free interest rate

   1.13  1.39  2.01

Expected life of options after vesting

   1.3 years    1.3 years    1.3 years  

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

Expected Stock Price Volatility—The Company’s computation of expected volatility is based on a combination of implied volatilities from traded options on the Company’s stock and historical volatility. 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 for the contractual terms of the stock options, vesting schedules and expectations of future employee behavior.

Fair value of 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 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 2008 there were 28,623 shares exercised related to the warrants.  For fiscal 2007, 760,416 shares were exercised and for fiscal 2006, no shares were exercised.  As of January 2, 2009, there are no shares outstanding and exercisable under the warrants.



NOTE 15: BENEFIT PLANS

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 106,931 net shares of Common Stock for an aggregate of $3.2 million in fiscal 2008. 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 $3.3 million in fiscal 2008, 3.1 million in fiscal 2007, and $2.5 million in fiscal 2006.

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 $0.9 million for fiscal 2008, $0.8 million for fiscal 2007 and $0.7 million for fiscal 2006.

Defined Benefit Pension Plan

The Company provides defined benefit pension plans in Sweden and 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.

On December 28, 2007, the Company adopted the recognition and disclosure provisions of SFAS 158. The Company adopted the measurement date provision in fiscal year 2008. SFAS 158 required the Company to recognize the funded status (i.e., the difference between the fair value of plan assetsTrimble’s common stock on the date of grant, 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 represents the net unrecognized actuarial losses and unrecognized transition obligation remaining from 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 as 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 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated statement of income for any period presented.


The pension related balances on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet at January 2, 2009 and December 28, 2007 are presented in the following table.

*The Company changed its defined benefit pension plan in Netherlands to a defined contribution plan in fiscal 2008.
The under-funded status of the plan of $5.6 million at January 2, 2009expense is recognized inon a straight-line basis over the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets as a short-term and a long-term accrued pension liability.  No plan assets are expected to be returned to Trimble during fiscal 2008.

Net periodic benefit cost in fiscal 2008 was not material.

Actuarial assumptions used to determinevesting period. Restricted stock units typically vest at the net periodic pension costs for fiscal 2008 were as follows:

  Swedish Subsidiary  German Subsidiaries 
Discount rate  4.8%  6.5%
Rate of compensation increase  2.0%  2.0%
Measurement Date 1/2/2009  1/2/2009 

The Company’s accumulated benefits obligation was approximately $6.9 million and $10.2 million for fiscal 2008 and fiscal 2007, respectively.

The Company’s plan assets are primarily located in the Company's German subsidiaries. For German subsidiaries, for fiscal 2008, the asset allocationend of the total plan assets was approximately as follows:  89% local government bonds, 7% real estate and 4% equity securities. Long-term asset allocation and expected return on assets assumptions are derived from detailed annual studies conducted by the Company's asset management group and actuaries. The Company’s asset management group limits allocation to equity securities and real estate to a maximum of 10% and 25%, respectively, with the remaining assets to be allocated to local government bonds. While the asset allocation give appropriate consideration to recent performance and historical returns, the strategy is focused primarily on conservative and sustainable long-term returns. Based on historical returns, the Company expects future return on assets to be approximately 4%.

The Company expects to contribute approximately $372,000 to plan assets in fiscal year ended 2009.

The following benefit payments, which reflect estimated future employee service, as appropriate, are expected to be paid (in thousands):
 2009 $390 
 2010  422 
 2011  431

Trimble has a 52-53 week fiscal year, ending on the Friday nearest to December 31. Fiscal 2008 was a 53-week year and fiscal 2007 was a 52-week year. As a result of the extra week, year-over-year results may not be comparable. The Company was shut down an additional week during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008. Thus, due to the inherent nature of adopting a 52-53 week fiscal year, the Company, analysts, shareholders, investors, and others will have to make appropriate adjustments to any analysis performed when comparing our activities and results.

The Board of Directors and Shareholders of Trimble Navigation Limited


We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Trimble Navigation Limited as of January 2, 2009December 30, 2011 and December 28, 2007,31, 2010, and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended January 2, 2009.December 30, 2011. 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 January 2, 2009December 30, 2011 and December 28, 2007,31, 2010, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended January 2, 2009,December 30, 2011, in conformity with U.S generally accepted accounting principles.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Shareholders of Trimble Navigation Limited


We have audited Trimble Navigation Limited'sLimited’s internal control over financial reporting as of January 2, 2009,December 30, 2011, 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’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 January 2, 2009,December 30, 2011, based on the COSO criteria.


As indicated in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting, management’s assessment of and conclusion on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting did not include the internal controls of Tekla Corporation (Tekla) and PeopleNet, which are included in the December 30, 2011 consolidated financial statements of Trimble Navigation Limited. Total assets and net assets of Tekla and PeopleNet represented 3% and 2%, respectively, of consolidated total and net assets as of December 30, 2011 and 5% of consolidated revenue for the year then ended. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting of Trimble Navigation Limited also did not include an evaluation of the internal control over financial reporting of Tekla and PeopleNet.

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 January 2, 2009December 30, 2011 and December 28, 2007,31, 2010, and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended January 2, 2009December 30, 2011 and our report dated February 27, 20092012 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Item 9A.   Controls9A.Controls and Procedures.


(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. Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of such period, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective.


We have excluded from our evaluation the internal control over financial reporting of Tekla Corporation (Tekla) and PeopleNet, which are included in the December 30, 2011 consolidated financial statements. Total assets and net assets of Tekla and PeopleNet represented 3% and 2%, respectively, of our consolidated total and net assets as of December 30, 2011 and 5% of our consolidated revenue for the year then ended. Based on the results of this evaluation, the Company’s management concluded that its internal control over financial reporting was effective at the end of fiscal 2011.

Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls


The Company’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.


(b) Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting


The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). Our internal control over financial reporting is 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.


The Company’s management, including the CEO and CFO, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting based on the Internal Control – Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. We have excluded from our evaluation the internal control over financial reporting of Tekla Corporation (Tekla) and PeopleNet, which are included in the December 30, 2011 consolidated financial statements. Total assets and net assets of Tekla and PeopleNet represented 3% and 2%, respectively, of our consolidated total and net assets as of December 30, 2011 and 5% of our consolidated revenue for the year then ended. Based on the results of this evaluation, the Company’s management concluded that its internal control over financial reporting was effective asat the end of January 2, 2009.

The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting asat the end of January 2, 2009fiscal 2011 has been audited by Ernst & Young LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report which is included elsewhere herein.



Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting


During the fourth quarter ended January 2, 2009,of fiscal 2011, there were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
