3. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
On May 31, 2007, we completed the sale of the Security Systems Division/Burtek Systems (“SSD/Burtek”) to Honeywell International Inc. (“Honeywell”). The sale agreement of SSD/Burtek to Honeywell contemplated a post-closing working capital-based purchase price adjustment. During the second quarter of fiscal 2008, we received notification from Honeywell seeking a purchase price adjustment and we issued a dispute notice in a timely manner.
On December 18, 2009, we reached an agreement with Honeywell to settle the pending working capital disputes as well as other related claims. As a result, we recorded $1.2 million of expense, net of zero tax effect, as a loss from discontinued operations, for the second quarter ended November 28, 2009.

On December 11, 2009, we notified the holders of our 8% convertible senior subordinated notes (8% notes) that we elected to redeem at par value all $7.7 million in aggregate principal outstanding. The 8% notes will be redeemed on January 11, 2010. The redemption of the 8% notes will result in a loss of approximately $0.2 million due to the write-off of the remaining deferred financing fees associated with 8% notes.
6. WARRANTIES
We offer warranties for specific products we manufacture. We also provide extended warranties for some products we sell that lengthen the period of coverage specified in the manufacturer’s original warranty. Our warranty terms generally range from one to three years, beyond the original manufacturer warranty.
Warranty reserves are established for costs that are expected to be incurred after the sale and delivery of products under warranty. The warranty reserves are determined based on known product failures, historical experience, and other available evidence. Warranty reserves, which are included in accrued liabilities on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets, were approximately $0.2 million as of November 28, 2009, and May 30, 2009.

Total long term debt | $ | 52,353 | $ | 52,353 | ||
As of November 28, 2009, we maintained $52.4 million in long-term debt in the form of two series of convertible notes.
On December 9, 2009, we retired $0.9 million of the 7 3/4% convertible senior subordinated notes (7 3/4% notes) at approximately 97% of par value, which resulted in a gain of less than $0.1 million, net of deferred financing costs of less than $0.1 million. As the revolving credit agreement allows us to retire up to $15.0 million of our outstanding notes or equity, we did not need to obtain a waiver from our lending group to permit the retirement of the $0.9 million of the 7 3/4% notes.
On December 11, 2009, we notified the holders of our 8% notes that we elected to redeem at par value all $7.7 million in aggregate principal outstanding. The 8% notes will be redeemed on January 11, 2010. The redemption of the 8% notes will result in a loss of approximately $0.2 million due to the write-off of the remaining deferred financing fees associated with 8% notes. As the revolving credit agreement allows us to retire up to $15.0 million of our outstanding notes or equity, we did not need to obtain a waiver from our lending group to permit the retirement of the $7.7 million of the 8% notes.
We entered into a $40.0 million revolving credit agreement on July 27, 2007, which included a Euro sub-facility and a Singapore sub-facility. The U.S. facility is reduced by the amounts drawn on the Euro sub-facility and Singapore sub-facility. Pursuant to an amendment to the revolving credit agreement entered into on July 20, 2009, the total capacity was reduced from $40.0 million to $25.0 million. As of November 28, 2009, there were no amounts outstanding under the revolving credit agreement. Outstanding letters of credit were approximately $0.1 million and we also had $2.5 million reserved for usage on our commercial credit card program, leaving an unused line of $22.4 million as of November 28, 2009. Based on our loan covenants, actual available credit as of November 28, 2009, was $22.4 million. We were in compliance with our loan covenants as of November 28, 2009.
Pursuant to an amendment to the revolving credit agreement entered into on July 20, 2009, the definition of the leverage ratio has been modified to exclude goodwill impairment charges, severance expense, and inventory write-downs in the calculation of adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“EBITDA”), for the fiscal year ended May 30, 2009. We were in compliance with our loan covenants as of May 30, 2009, without this amendment to our revolving credit agreement.

8. INCOME TAXES
The effective income tax rate from continuing operations during the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2010 was atax benefit of 16.8% and 17.6%, respectively, as compared to atax provision of 6.7% and 11.9% for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2009, respectively.
The difference between the effective tax rate as compared to the U.S. federal statutory rate of 34% during the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2010 resulted from our geographical distribution of taxable income or losses. The second quarter of fiscal 2010 included a benefit of approximately $0.1 million related to prior year’s income taxes of certain of our foreign jurisdictions and a benefit of approximately $0.9 million of reserve reversals related to expiring statutes of limitations. The first six months of fiscal 2010 included a $0.5 million benefit related to prior year’s income taxes of certain of our foreign jurisdictions and a benefit of approximately $1.4 million of reserve reversals related to expiring statutes of limitations.
The difference between the effective tax rate as compared to the U.S. federal statutory rate of 34% during the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2009 resulted from our geographical distribution of taxable income or losses. The second quarter of fiscal 2009 included a tax benefit of less than $0.1 million related to the partial release of the valuation allowance related to net operating losses which was partially offset by a provision of less than $0.1 million related to prior year’s income tax of one of our foreign jurisdictions. The first six months of fiscal 2009 included a tax benefit of $0.9 million related to the partial release of the valuation allowance related to net operating losses which was partially offset by a provision of $0.6 million related to prior year’s income tax of one of our foreign jurisdictions.
In the normal course of business, we are subject to examination by taxing authorities throughout the world. We are no longer subject to either U.S. federal, state, or local tax examinations by tax authorities for years prior to fiscal year 2004. With few exceptions, we are no longer subject to non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities for years prior to fiscal year 2002. Our primary foreign tax jurisdictions are China, Japan, Germany, Singapore, and the Netherlands. We have tax years open in Singapore beginning in fiscal year 2002; in the Netherlands, Germany and Japan beginning in fiscal year 2004; and in China beginning in fiscal year 2006.
As of November 28, 2009, our worldwide liability for uncertain tax positions, excluding interest and penalties, was $3.4 million as compared to $4.3 million as of May 30, 2009. We record penalties and interest relating to uncertain tax positions in the income tax expense line item within the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). The net liability for uncertain tax positions decreased in the three months ended November 28, 2009, primarily due to the expiration of certain statutes of limitation.
It is reasonably possible that there will be a change in the unrecognized tax benefits, excluding interest and penalties, in the range of $0 to approximately $0.2 million due to the expiration of various statutes of limitations within the next 12 months.

9. CALCULATION OF EARNINGS PER SHARE
We have authorized 30,000,000 shares of common stock, 10,000,000 shares of Class B common stock, and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock. The Class B common stock has ten votes per share and has transferability restrictions; however, Class B common stock may be converted into common stock on a share-for-share basis at any time. With respect to dividends and distributions, shares of common stock and Class B common stock rank equally and have the same rights, except that Class B common stock cash dividends are limited to 90% of the amount of common stock cash dividends.
In accordance with FASB ASC 260-10,Earnings Per Share(“ASC 260”), our Class B common stock is considered a participating security requiring the use of the two-class method for the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share. The two-class computation method for each period reflects the cash dividends paid per share for each class of stock, plus the amount of allocated undistributed earnings per share computed using the participation percentage which reflects the dividend rights of each class of stock. Basic and diluted earnings per share were computed using the two-class method as prescribed in ASC 260. The shares of Class B common stock are considered to be participating convertible securities since the shares of Class B common stock are convertible on a share-for-share basis into shares of common stock and may participate in dividends with common stock according to a predetermined formula which is 90% of the amount of common stock cash dividends.
Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income, adjusted for interest savings, net of tax, on assumed conversion of convertible debentures and notes, by the actual shares outstanding and share equivalents that would arise from the exercise of stock options, certain restricted stock awards, and the assumed conversion of convertible debentures and notes when dilutive. For the second quarter of fiscal 2010 and 2009, the assumed conversion and the effect of the interest savings of our 8% notes and 7 3/4% notes were included because their inclusion was dilutive. For the first six months of fiscal 2010, the assumed conversion and the effect of the interest savings of our 8% notes were included because their inclusion was dilutive. For the first six months of fiscal 2009, the assumed conversion and the effect of the interest savings of our 8% notes and 7 3/4% were included because their inclusion was dilutive.
The amounts per share presented in our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) are based on the following amounts (in thousands, except per share amounts):

11. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
FASB ASC 820,Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures(“ASC 820”), defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. We adopted the provisions of ASC 820 as of June 1, 2008, and the adoption of ASC 820 did not materially impact our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flow.
ASC 820 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers include: Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists; therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.
As of November 28, 2009, we held investments that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis. Our investments primarily consist of equity securities of publicly traded companies for which market prices are readily available.
Investments measured at fair value on a recurring basis subject to the disclosure requirements of ASC 820 as of November 28, 2009, were as follows (in thousands):
Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | |||||||
Equity securities | $ | 316 | $ | — | $ | — |
12. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In October 2009, the FASB issued ASC update No 2009-13,Revenue Recognition,(“ASC Update No. 2009-13”), which addresses the accounting for multiple-deliverable arrangements to enable vendors to account for products or services (deliverables) separately rather than as a combined unit. Specifically, the guidance amends the criteria in FASB ASC Subtopic 605-25,Revenue Recognition-Multiple-Element Arrangements, for separating consideration in multiple-deliverable arrangements. The guidance establishes a selling price hierarchy for determining the selling price of a deliverable, which is based on: (a) vendor-specific objective evidence; (b) third-party evidence; or (c) estimates. The guidance also eliminates the residual method of allocation and requires that arrangement consideration be allocated at the inception of the arrangement to all deliverables using the relative selling price method. In addition, the guidance significantly expands required disclosures related to a vendor’s multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements. ASC Update No. 2009-13 is effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASC Update No. 2009-13 on our consolidated financial statements.
13. STOCK REPURCHASE PROGRAM
Our Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program authorizing us to purchase shares of our outstanding common stock. Stock repurchases under this program may be made on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions, depending on factors including market conditions and other factors. During the second quarter of fiscal 2010, we did not repurchase any shares of common stock under the share repurchase program. The stock repurchase program does not have an expiration date and may be suspended or discontinued at any time.
During January 2010, we will be repurchasing approximately 300,000 shares of our common stock held in our Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“ESOP”) in a private transaction. The ESOP was terminated on October 15, 2009.

Net Sales and Gross Profit Analysis
During the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2010, consolidated net sales decreased 12.5% and 17.0%, respectively, as all three segments experienced a net sales decline compared to prior year.
Net sales by segment and percent change during the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2010 and 2009 were as follows (in thousands):

Consolidated gross profit decreased during the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2010 as compared to the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2009, primarily due to the decline in net sales. Consolidated gross margin as a percentage of net sales increased to 24.6% during the first six months of fiscal 2010, as compared to 24.3% during the first six months of fiscal 2009. The improvement in gross margin was due primarily to a shift in sales mix between product lines and geographic regions.
Gross profit reflects the distribution and manufacturing product margin less manufacturing variances, inventory obsolescence charges, customer returns, scrap and cycle count adjustments, engineering costs, and other provisions. Corporate gross profit includes certain freight costs and other miscellaneous charges.

RF, Wireless & Power Division
RFPD net sales decreased 11.4% and 14.7% to $82.8 million and $162.3 million during the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2010, respectively, from $93.4 million and $190.3 million during the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2009, respectively. Overall, net sales continue to be negatively impacted with declining demand reflecting the weak global economy. The decline in net sales included most product lines including power conversion, network access, passive/interconnect, and infrastructure products. Gross margin as a percent of net sales decreased to 21.9% during both the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2010, respectively, from 22.8% and 22.2% during the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2009, respectively, due primarily to a shift in sales mix between product lines and geographic regions.
Electron Device Group
EDG net sales decreased 9.4% and 17.7% to $20.1 million and $38.9 million during the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2010, respectively, from $22.2 million and $47.3 million during the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2009, respectively. The decline during both periods was due primarily to a decline in tube sales. Tube sales declined in North America during the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2010 as compared to the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2009. Gross margin as a percent of net sales increased to 36.6% and 35.0% during the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2010, respectively, as compared to 35.2% and 32.7% during the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2009, respectively, due primarily to a shift in sales mix between product lines and geographic regions.
Canvys
Canvys net sales decreased 22.7% and 28.6% to $13.0 million and $24.2 million during the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2010, respectively, from $16.8 million and $33.9 million during the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2009, respectively. Canvys net sales declined due to capital spending project delays within the healthcare and medical OEM sectors. Gross margin increased to 27.2% and 26.2% during the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2010, respectively, from 24.7% and 25.0% during the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2009, respectively, due primarily to improved operating efficiencies and increased focus on sales of our higher margin customized solutions.

Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general, and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) decreased $4.5 million and $9.8 million to $23.7 million and $46.6 million during the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2010, respectively, from $28.2 million and $56.4 million during the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2009, respectively. Severance expense recorded during the second quarter and first six months of 2010 was $0.3 million and $0.5 million, respectively. Severance expense recorded during the second quarter and first six months of 2009 was $0.5 million and $1.1 million, respectively. The decrease in SG&A expense during the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2010 reflects our ongoing cost reduction initiatives including headcount reductions, significant reductions in discretionary spending, and re-negotiating contracts.
Other (Income) Expense
Other (income) expense was $1.7 million and $3.6 million of expense during the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2010, respectively, as compared to $1.4 million and $1.5 million of income during the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2009, respectively. The change to expense from income during the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2010 was due primarily to unfavorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates and a gain on retirement of long-term debt. Other (income) expense included a foreign exchange loss of $0.7 million and $1.5 million during the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2010, respectively, as compared to a foreign exchange gain of $1.5 million and $2.5 million during the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2009, respectively. The second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2009 also included a gain on retirement of long-term debt of $0.9 million.
Income Tax Provision
The effective income tax rate from continuing operations during the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2010 was atax benefit of 16.8% and 17.6%, respectively, as compared to atax provision of 6.7% and 11.9% for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2009, respectively.
The difference between the effective tax rate as compared to the U.S. federal statutory rate of 34% during the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2010 resulted from our geographical distribution of taxable income or losses. The second quarter of fiscal 2010 included a benefit of approximately $0.1 million related to prior year’s income taxes of certain of our foreign jurisdictions and a benefit of approximately $0.9 million of reserve reversals related to expiring statutes of limitations. The first six months of fiscal 2010 included a $0.5 million benefit related to prior year’s income taxes of certain of our foreign jurisdictions and a benefit of approximately $1.4 million of reserve reversals related to expiring statutes of limitations.
The difference between the effective tax rate as compared to the U.S. federal statutory rate of 34% during the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2009 resulted from our geographical distribution of taxable income or losses. The second quarter of fiscal 2009 included a tax benefit of less than $0.1 million related to the partial release of the valuation allowance related to net operating losses which was partially offset by a provision of less than $0.1 million related to prior year’s income tax of one of our foreign jurisdictions. The first six months of fiscal 2009 included a tax benefit of $0.9 million related to the partial release of the valuation allowance related to net operating losses which was partially offset by a provision of $0.6 million related to prior year’s income tax of one of our foreign jurisdictions.
In the normal course of business, we are subject to examination by taxing authorities throughout the world. We are no longer subject to either U.S. federal, state, or local tax examinations by tax authorities for years prior to fiscal year 2004. With few exceptions, we are no longer subject to non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities for years prior to fiscal year 2002. Our primary foreign tax jurisdictions are China, Japan, Germany, Singapore, and the Netherlands. We have tax years open in Singapore beginning in fiscal year 2002; in the Netherlands, Germany and Japan beginning in fiscal year 2004; and in China beginning in fiscal year 2006.

Table of Contents
As of November 28, 2009, our worldwide liability for uncertain tax positions, excluding interest and penalties, was $3.4 million as compared to $4.3 million as of May 30, 2009. We record penalties and interest relating to uncertain tax positions in the income tax expense line item within the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). The net liability for uncertain tax positions decreased in the three months ended November 28, 2009, primarily due to the expiration of certain statutes of limitation.
It is reasonably possible that there will be a change in the unrecognized tax benefits, excluding interest and penalties, in the range of $0 to approximately $0.2 million due to the expiration of various statutes of limitations within the next 12 months.
Discontinued operations
See Note 3 “Discontinued Operations” of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for additional discussion on the loss from discontinued operations.
Net Income and Per Share Data
Net income during the second quarter of fiscal 2010 was $3.1 million, or $0.18 per diluted common share and $0.16 per Class B diluted common share as compared to net income of $5.9 million during the second quarter of fiscal 2009, or $0.31 per diluted common share and $0.28 per Class B diluted common share. Net income during the first six months of fiscal 2010 was $5.0 million, or $0.28 per diluted common share and $0.26 per Class B diluted common share as compared to net income of $9.6 million during the first six months of fiscal 2009, or $0.52 per diluted common share and $0.47 per Class B diluted common share.
LIQUIDITY, FINANCIAL POSITION, AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
We have financed our growth and cash needs largely through income from operations, borrowings under the revolving credit facilities, issuance of convertible senior subordinated notes, and sale of assets. Liquidity is reduced by working capital requirements, debt service, capital expenditures, dividends, and business acquisitions. Liquidity is increased by proceeds from borrowings, disposition of businesses and assets, and improved working capital management.
Cash and cash equivalents were $50.0 million as of November 28, 2009, as compared to $43.9 million as of May 30, 2009.
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
Cash provided by operating activities during the first six months of fiscal 2010 was $4.7 million, due primarily to lower inventory and accounts receivable balances and higher accrued liability balances, partially offset by lower accounts payable balances. The decline in inventory of $5.9 million, excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange of $1.8 million, during the first six months of fiscal 2010 was due primarily to a reduction in inventory purchases. The decline in accounts receivable balances of $1.0 million, excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange of $3.0 million, during the first six months of fiscal 2010 was due primarily to accelerated cash collection efforts. The increase in accrued liabilities of $1.0 million, excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange of $0.6 million, during the first six months of fiscal 2010 was due primarily to the timing of payments. The decline in accounts payable balances of $8.7 million, excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange of $0.5 million, during the first six months of fiscal 2010 was due primarily to the timing of payments and a decline in inventory purchases.
Cash provided by operating activities during the first six months of fiscal 2009 was $3.6 million, due primarily to higher accounts payable balances and lower accounts receivable balances, partially offset by higher inventory balances and lower accrued liability balances. The increase in accounts payable balances of $5.4 million, excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange of
23
Table of Contents
$1.9 million, during the first six months of fiscal 2009 was due primarily to negotiating favorable payment terms with many of our vendors. The decline in accounts receivable balances of $2.1 million, excluding the impact of foreign currency of $7.3 million, during the first six months of fiscal 2009 was due primarily to a decline in sales volume. The increase in inventory balances of $10.4 million, excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange of $4.6 million, during the first six months of fiscal 2009 was due primarily to purchases of inventory necessary to support anticipated sales volume in future quarters. The decline in accrued liability balances of $2.2 million, excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange of $0.8 million, during the first six months of fiscal 2009 was due primarily to the timing and payment of accrued payroll and accrued taxes.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $0.5 million and $0.6 million during the first six months of fiscal 2010 and 2009, respectively, was due primarily to capital expenditures.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities of $0.7 million during the first six months of fiscal 2010 was due to cash dividends paid. Net cash used in financing activities of $3.1 million during the first six months of fiscal 2009 was due to primarily to the retirement of long-term debt and cash dividends paid.
As of November 28, 2009, we maintained $52.4 million in long-term debt in the form of two series of convertible notes.
On December 9, 2009, we retired $0.9 million of the 7 3/4% convertible senior subordinated notes (7 3/4% notes) at approximately 97% of par value, which resulted in a gain of less than $0.1 million, net of deferred financing costs of less than $0.1 million. As the revolving credit agreement allows us to retire up to $15.0 million of our outstanding notes or equity, we did not need to obtain a waiver from our lending group to permit the retirement of the $0.9 million of the 7 3/4% notes.
On December 11, 2009, we notified the holders of our 8% convertible senior subordinated notes (8% notes) that we elected to redeem at par value all $7.7 million in aggregate principal outstanding. The 8% notes will be redeemed on January 11, 2010. The redemption of the 8% notes will result in a loss of approximately $0.2 million due to the write-off of the remaining deferred financing fees associated with 8% notes. As the revolving credit agreement allows us to retire up to $15.0 million of our outstanding notes or equity, we did not need to obtain a waiver from our lending group to permit the retirement of the $7.7 million of the 8% notes.
We entered into a $40.0 million revolving credit agreement on July 27, 2007, which included a Euro sub-facility and a Singapore sub-facility. The U.S. facility is reduced by the amounts drawn on the Euro sub-facility and Singapore sub-facility. Pursuant to an amendment to the revolving credit agreement entered into on July 20, 2009, the total capacity was reduced from $40.0 million to $25.0 million. As of November 28, 2009, there were no amounts outstanding under the revolving credit agreement. Outstanding letters of credit were approximately $0.1 million and we also had $2.5 million reserved for usage on our commercial credit card program, leaving an unused line of $22.4 million as of November 28, 2009. Based on our loan covenants, actual available credit as of November 28, 2009, was $22.4 million. We were in compliance with our loan covenants as of November 28, 2009.
Pursuant to an amendment to the revolving credit agreement entered into on July 20, 2009, the definition of the leverage ratio has been modified to exclude goodwill impairment charges, severance expense, and inventory write-downs in the calculation of adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“EBITDA”), for the fiscal year ended May 30, 2009. We were in compliance with our loan covenants as of May 30, 2009, without this amendment to our revolving credit agreement.

We believe that the existing sources of liquidity, including current cash, as well as cash provided by operating activities, supplemented as necessary with funds available under our credit arrangements, will provide sufficient resources to meet known capital requirements and working capital needs for the fiscal year ending May 29, 2010.
ITEM 3. | QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK |
As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide the information required by this Item.
ITEM 4. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES |
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Management of the Company, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of November 28, 2009.
