(unaudited)

(1) Basis of Presentation

The condensed consolidated balance sheet, financial information and related disclosures as of and for the year ended December 31, 2008 have been derived from our consolidated financial statements, which have been audited as of that date. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 28, 2009 and June 29, 2008 and the related condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss for the three and six months ended June 28, 2009 and June 29, 2008 are unaudited. The condensed consolidated statements of cash flows and statement of stockholders’ equity for the six months ended June 28, 2009 and June 29, 2008 are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of such financial statements have been included. Such adjustments consisted only of normal recurring items. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for any other period or for the full year. These financial statements do not include all disclosures associated with annual financial statements and, accordingly, should be read in conjunction with the footnotes contained in the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2008, together with the auditors’ report, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Subsequent Events — The Company evaluated subsequent events through the time of filing this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q on August 6, 2009. We are not aware of any significant events that occurred subsequent to the balance sheet date but prior to the filing of this report that would have a material impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The accounting policies underlying the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are those set forth in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

(4) Debt

Long-Term Debt at June 28, 2009 and December 31, 2008 consisted of (in thousands):

	June 28, 2009		December 31, 2008
Mortgage note payable, interest rate of 6.84%	$	9,137	$	9,277
Capital lease obligations, interest rate of 6.75%		—		1
		9,137		9,278
Less—current maturities		300		290
	$	8,837	$	8,988

On March 30, 2006, the Company entered into a mortgage note that is secured by our real property in Billerica, MA, in the amount of $10 million. The mortgage note requires monthly payments of $76,280, which includes interest calculated at the rate of 6.84% per annum. This mortgage note payable has a balloon payment of $6.8 million due and payable at maturity on December 23, 2015.

On March 1, 2007, the Company entered into an amended revolving loan agreement with a bank that allowed for unsecured aggregate borrowings, including letters of credit, up to a maximum of $15 million against a borrowing base of accounts receivable, inventory and fixed assets. The Company could elect to borrow at interest rates related to the bank’s prime rate or LIBOR. This loan agreement extended to December 31, 2010. At June 28, 2009, there were no borrowings outstanding under the loan agreement.

The loan agreement is subject to maintaining certain financial covenants. Due to the recorded losses in Q4 2008, Q1 2009 and Q2 2009, the Company is not in compliance with the required rolling four quarters minimum debt coverage ratio in the loan agreement. Given the uncertainty surrounding the timing of an economic recovery from the global recession, the Company has suspended negotiations with the bank until a return to profitability is at hand. At such time, the Company will work with the bank to obtain a waiver which may require modifications, agreeable to both parties, to the provisions of the existing loan agreement. There is no current debt outstanding against this line.

(5) Earnings Per Share (EPS)

Basic EPS is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is computed using the weighted average number of common and dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period, using the treasury stock method. The number of common shares underlying options that were not included in the determination of diluted EPS, because their effect would be anti-dilutive, was 682,610 and 777,382 for the three and six months ended June 28, 2009 and 338,838 and 365,931 for the three and six months ended June 29, 2008, respectively.

(6) Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation

The Company’s stock option compensation expense was $310,126 and $608,571 respectively, for the three and six months ended June 28, 2009 and $306,283 and $536,183 for the three and six months ended June 29, 2008, respectively. These amounts do not include expense related to restricted stock awards.

The fair value of each option is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. This model incorporates certain assumptions for inputs including a risk-free market interest rate, expected dividend yield of the underlying common stock, expected option life and expected volatility in the market value of the underlying common stock. The Company is also required to estimate forfeitures at the time of grant and revise those estimates in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. Historical data was used to estimate pre-vesting forfeitures and record stock-based compensation expense only for those awards that are expected to vest. Accordingly, awards ultimately expected to vest have been reduced by annualized estimated forfeitures of 20% for the periods ended June 28, 2009 and June 29, 2008. We used the following assumptions for options issued in the following periods:

	Three months ended
	June 28, 2009		June 29, 2008
Calculation of Fair Values—Assumptions Used:
Expected Volatility	65.57	%	66.46	%
Expected Life	4.67		4.75
Risk-Free Interest Rate	2.17	%	2.81	%
Expected Dividend Yield	None		None

Expected volatilities are based on the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock. The Company had significant historical data to help evaluate the expected lives of options in developing its assumption. The risk-free interest rate is based upon quoted market yields for United States Treasury debt securities. The expected dividend yield is based upon the Company’s history of having never issued a dividend and management’s current expectation of future action surrounding dividends.

The following table summarizes the stock option activity during the six months ended June 28, 2009.

	Shares		Weighted- Average Exercise Price		Average Remaining Contractual Term	Aggregate Intrinsic Value
Options
Outstanding at December 31, 2008	1,069,535		$	9.17
Granted	196,768			4.06

Exercisable at June 28, 2009	283,239		$	5.86	3.17	$	264,284

The weighted-average grant-date fair values of options granted during the six-month periods ended June 28, 2009 and June 29, 2008 were $4.06 and $5.55, respectively. The fair values of options exercised during the six-month periods ended June 28, 2009 and June 29, 2008 were $ 4,437 and $ 59,552, respectively.

As of June 28, 2009, there was $2,567,908 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested options granted under all of the Company’s option plans. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 3.2 years. The total fair value of shares vested during the six-month period ended June 28, 2009 was $456,971.

Option Exchange Program

On April 27, 2009, the Board of Directors approved, subject to stockholder approval, a one-time stock option exchange program (the “Exchange Program”). The Exchange Program was approved at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on May 15, 2009. The Exchange Program permitted all current employees of the Company and its subsidiaries, excluding its Chief Executive Officer but including all other executive officers (each, an “Eligible Employee” and collectively, “Eligible Employees”), who hold outstanding options under the 2003 Plan with an exercise price per share equal to or greater than $10.05 (the “Threshold Price”), to exchange outstanding stock options (“Eligible Options”) for a lesser number of options (“Replacement Options”), with such number of Replacement Options issuable upon exchange calculated at 0.4 shares of Replacement Options for one share of Eligible Options. The exchange offer expired on May 16, 2009. Pursuant to the Exchange Program, the Replacement Options have an exercise price of $4.06, which is equal to the last reported closing sales price for a share of the Company’s common stock as of the last trading day immediately preceding the date that the Replacement Option is granted, which was May 15, 2009. The total number of stock options eligible to be exchanged was 475,500. The actual options exchanged were 379,100 for 151,640 Replacement Options.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

On the date of exchange, the estimated fair value of the Replacement Options did not exceed the fair value of the exchanged stock options calculated immediately prior to the exchange. As such, there is no incremental fair value of the Replacement Options, and the Company will record the compensation expense related to the exchange. The Company will recognize the remaining compensation expense related to the exchanged options over vesting period of the newly granted awards, not over the original vesting period of the original options. The Replacement Options become exercisable over a period of three years, with one-third vesting on the first anniversary of the date the Replacement Options were granted and one-third vesting on each anniversary thereafter, so long as the option holder continues to be employed by the Company.

(7) Revenue Recognition

For the three and six months ended June 28, 2009, there was $1,838,326 and $2,889,613, respectively, of revenue recognized using the percentage of completion method. For the three and six months ended June 29, 2008, there was $1,371,024 and $2,551,225, respectively, of revenue recognized using the percentage of completion method. For additional information on the Company’s revenue recognition policies please see note 1 in the notes to the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K filed March 16, 2009 with Securities and Exchange Commission.

(8) Fair Value Disclosures

At June 28, 2009, the Company had no financial assets that required valuation under SFAS No. 157.

On January 1, 2008, the Company adopted SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements for Financial Assets and Liabilities”. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 applies to reported balances that are required or permitted to be measured at fair value under existing accounting pronouncements; accordingly, the standard does not require any new fair value measurements of reported balances.

SFAS No. 157 emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement. Therefore, a fair value measurement should be determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. As a basis for considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, SFAS No. 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between market participant assumptions based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs that are classified within Levels 1 and 2 of the hierarchy) and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions (unobservable inputs classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy). The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practical to estimate that value.

a. Cash and Cash Equivalents—The carrying amount of these assets on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets approximates their fair value because of the short maturities of these instruments.

b. Receivables, Payables and Accruals—The recorded amounts of financial instruments, including accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities, approximate their fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments.

c. Long-term Debt and Capital Lease Obligations—The fair value of long-term indebtedness as of June 28, 2009 was approximately $8,837,000, based on the prevailing cost of capital to the Company. The current market rate approximates the rate of the mortgage note payable of 6.84%

(9) Product Warranty Costs

The Company provides standard warranty coverage for parts and labor for 12 months and special extended material-only coverage on certain other products. The Company estimates and records an accrual for anticipated warranty claims based on revenue. The accrual for warranty covers the estimated costs of material, labor and travel. Actual warranty claims incurred are charged to the accrual. Factors that affect the Company’s product warranty liability include the number of installed units, the anticipated cost of warranty repairs and historical and anticipated rates of warranty claims.

The following table reflects changes in the Company’s accrued warranty account during the six months ended June 28, 2009 (in thousands):

	Six Months Ended June 28, 2009

(10) Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168, “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles—a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162” (“SFAS 168”). This statement is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. This standard is not expected to materially impact the Company’s results of operations, financial position or related disclosures.

In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business Combinations” (SFAS 141R). SFAS No. 141R will significantly change the accounting for business combinations in a number of areas including the treatment of contingent consideration, contingencies, acquisition costs, in-process research and development, and restructuring costs. In addition, under SFAS No. 141R, changes in deferred tax asset valuation allowances and acquired income tax uncertainties in a business combination after the measurement period will impact income tax expense. SFAS No. 141R is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, which is the Company’s consolidated fiscal year beginning January 1, 2009, and will impact the accounting for any business combinations entered into after the effective date. The adoption of this Standard has not had an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In April 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) No. FAS 142-3, or FSP FAS 142-3, “Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets”, which amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under FASB Statement No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”. FSP FAS 142-3 allows an entity to use its own historical experience in renewing or extending similar arrangements, adjusted for specified entity-specific factors, in developing assumptions about renewal or extension used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset and will be effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2008. Additional disclosures are required to enable financial statement users to assess the extent to which the expected future cash flows associated with the asset are affected by the entity’s intent and/or ability to renew or extend the arrangement. The guidance for determining the useful life of a recognized intangible asset is to be applied prospectively to intangible assets acquired after the effective date. The disclosure requirements are to be applied prospectively to all intangible assets recognized as of, and subsequent to, the effective date. Management will comply with disclosure requirements subsequent to the effective date of the standard as applicable.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin (ARB) No. 51,” which changes the accounting and reporting for minority interests. Minority interests will be re-characterized as non-controlling interests and will be reported as a component of equity separate from the parent’s equity, and purchases or sales of equity interests that do not result in a change in control will be accounted for as equity transactions. In addition, net income attributable to the non-controlling interest will be included in consolidated net income on the face of the income statement and, upon a loss of control, the interest sold, as well as any interest retained, will be recorded at fair value with any gain or loss recognized in earnings. SFAS No. 160 will apply prospectively, except for the presentation and disclosure requirements, which will apply retrospectively. SFAS No. 160 is effective for periods beginning on or after December 15, 2008 and will impact the accounting for non-controlling interests after the effective date, to the extent the company enters into an acquisition with a non-controlling interest. The adoption of this standard did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an amendment of SFAS No. 133” (SFAS No. 161). SFAS No. 161 requires companies to disclose their objectives and strategies for using derivative instruments, whether or not their derivatives are designated as hedging instruments. The new pronouncement requires disclosure of the fair value of derivative instruments by primary underlying risk exposures (e.g., interest rate, credit, foreign exchange rate, combination of interest rate and foreign exchange rate, or overall price). It also requires detailed disclosures about the income statement impact of derivative instruments by designation as fair-value hedges, cash-flow hedges, or hedges of the foreign-currency exposure of a net investment in a foreign operation. SFAS No. 161 will also require disclosure of information that will enable financial statement users to understand the level of derivative activity entered into by a company. The principles of SFAS No. 161 are applied on a prospective basis and are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. Early application is encouraged. For the Company, SFAS No. 161 became effective at the beginning of the 2009 fiscal year. The adoption of this Standard did not have a material effect on the Company’s disclosures as the Company did not have any derivative instruments at June 28, 2009.

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

OVERVIEW

BTU International, founded in 1950 and headquartered in Billerica, Massachusetts, is a supplier of advanced thermal processing equipment to the energy generation market and electronics manufacturing market. We manufacture reflow furnaces for printed circuit board assembly as well as semiconductor wafer-level and die-level packaging equipment. In addition, we participate in the fast growing alternative energy market for which we provide thermal process equipment for the manufacturing of solar cells, fuel cells and nuclear fuels.

Our customers in the energy generation market use our thermal systems to process silicon, ceramics and metal alloys which are used in solar cell, fuel cell and nuclear fuel manufacturing applications. Our customers require high throughput, high yield and highly reliable thermal processing systems with tightly controlled temperature and atmospheric parameters. Our convection solder reflow systems are used to attach electronic components to the printed circuit boards, primarily in the advanced high-density surface mount segments of this market. In the semiconductor market, we participate in both wafer level and die level packaging, where our thermal processing systems are used to connect and seal integrated circuits into a package.

The Company has been affected negatively by the global economic downturn. In our electronics market products, there has been a significant reduction in demand, with some improvement in the second quarter of 2009. As for our alternative energy market, we have seen steady growth, until a decrease in revenue in the second quarter of 2009 vs. the first quarter of 2009.

Net Sales Net sales decreased by 47% and 44% in the second quarter and six month period of 2009 respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2008. Despite increased electronic market revenue for the second quarter versus the first quarter of 2009, both the second quarter and six month year to date 2009 period have seen a decrease in net sales versus the same periods in 2008. The decreases were the result of an approximately two thirds reduction in the demand for the Company’s electronic market products. This reduction is the resulting from the macro global economic slowdown. Partially offsetting these decreases are increases in the Company’s alternative energy product sales, in the second quarter and the first six months of 2009 versus the same periods in 2008.

The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, revenues from sales into select geographies expressed in dollars per thousand and as a percentage of total revenue. The values shown represent the amount sold into each of the listed geographical areas.

	Three Months Ended								Six Months Ended
	June 28, 2009				June 29, 2008				June 28, 2009				June 29, 2008
	$		% of revenues		$		% of revenues		$		% of revenues		$		% of revenues
United States	$	3,701	34.3	%	$	4,082	20.0	%	$	5,639	27.4	%	$	8,126	22.0	%
Europe, Near East		2,638	24.4	%		2,616	12.8	%		4,953	24.0	%		6,112	16.5	%

Total Revenue	$	10,808			$	20,384			$	20,614			$	37,003

In the six months ended June 28, 2009 as compared to the same period in 2008, total revenue decreased in most of the Company’s geographical markets. This result is indicative of the global nature of the economic downturn. The most significant revenue decrease both in dollars and percentage is the Asia Pacific region, which is the primary market for our electronic products.

15

Gross Profit. The reduction in the first six months of 2009’s gross profit percentage to 24.6 from 43.1 in the first six months of 2008 was the result of several major factors. The deepening global recession reduced demand for the Company’s electronic market products and put added pressure on our selling price. During the first half of 2009, the Company’s production facilities both in the United States and China were operating well below capacity which resulted in under-absorption of factory costs. Also, with the extended recession to date and the expectation of a slow economic recovery, the Company, primarily for its electronic products inventory, increased inventory reserves by approximately $1.2 million. One additional factor suppressing the gross margin percentage in the first six months of 2009 was the first time assembly and shipment of both new thin film and silicon solar systems.

Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A).SG&A expenses decreased by $1.6 million or 25.5% from $6.4 million in Q2 2008 to $4.8 million in Q2 2009. Approximately half of this Q2 2009 decrease occurred in commission expense as the result of decreased revenue. The other half of the Q2 2009 reductions versus Q2 2008 occurred in each of the expense functions of service, sales, marketing and administration as the Company took several cost reduction actions to reduce costs as revenues declined. SG&A expenses for the first half of 2009 versus the same period in 2008 decreased by $2.6 million or 23.1%, primarily due to the lower commission on reduced sales and expense reductions in the Company’s service, sales and administrative functions.

Research, Development and Engineering (RD&E)In Q2 and in the first six months of 2009, the Company increased its spending on RD&E as compared to the same periods in 2008 by $110,000 or 6.2% and $485,000 or 14.3% respectively, increases were due primarily for development efforts towards next generation products for the alternative energy market.

Operating Income (Loss)The impact of the revenue decreases and its associated effect on gross margins in Q2 and the first six months of 2009 resulted in operating losses of $3.0 million and $7.5 million, respectively.

Foreign Exchange loss.The foreign exchange loss in Q2 2009 was $177,000 as compared to $395,000 in Q2 2008. For the first six months of 2009 and 2008 foreign exchange losses were $ 235,000 and $271,000 respectively. The Company’s primary exposure to foreign exchange losses result from U.S. dollar denominated balance sheet accounts recorded at the Company’s China and UK operations.

Income Taxes. During the six months ended June 28, 2009, we recorded an income tax provision of approximately $181,000 as compared to $ 406,000 for the six months ended June 29 2008. The Company’s income tax provision primarily relates to income and withholding taxes related to our China operations.

The significant fluctuations in the Company’s quarterly tax rate, as a percent of consolidated pre-tax income or loss, are the result of the varying ratio of the consolidated pre-tax profit or loss by corporate tax entity to the consolidated tax provision. The portion of the consolidated tax provision for China withholding taxes are not related to pre-tax income. The China withholding taxes primarily result from corporate royalty charges based on our China manufacturing subsidiary net sales.

The Company has federal and state net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $12 million against which it has recorded a full valuation allowance because of uncertainty surrounding realization. Our statutory federal income tax rate is 34.0%.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As of June 28, 2009, the Company had $25.3 million in cash and cash equivalents, a decrease of $2.1 million versus $27.4 million at the end of 2008.

During the six months ended June 28, 2009, the Company used net cash resources of approximately $1.3 million for operating activities. The use of cash was primarily the result of a net loss of $8.0 million, a $1.4 million decrease in accounts payable, and a $1.5 million decrease in accrued expenses; offset by a $6.3 million decrease in accounts receivable, adding back depreciation and amortization of $1.1 million and a $2.2 million decrease in inventory.

On March 1, 2007, the Company entered into an amended revolving loan agreement with a bank that allowed for unsecured aggregate borrowings, including letters of credit, up to a maximum of $15 million against a borrowing base of accounts receivable, inventory and fixed assets. The Company could elect to borrow at interest rates related to the bank’s prime rate or LIBOR. This loan agreement extended to December 31, 2010. At June 28, 2009, there were no borrowings outstanding under the loan agreement.

The loan agreement is subject to maintaining certain financial covenants. Due to the recorded losses in Q4 2008, Q1 2009 and Q2 2009, the Company is not in compliance with the required rolling four quarters minimum debt coverage ratio in the loan agreement. Given the uncertainty surrounding the timing of an economic recovery from the global recession, the Company has suspended negotiations with the bank until a return to profitability is at hand. At such time, the Company will work with the bank to receive a waiver which may require modifications, agreeable to both parties, to the provisions of the existing loan agreement. There is no current debt outstanding against this line.

On March 30, 2006, the Company entered into a mortgage note that is secured by its real property in Billerica, MA. The amount of the mortgage note executed was $10 million. The mortgage note requires monthly payments of $76,280, which includes interest calculated at the rate of 6.84% per annum. This mortgage note payable has a balloon payment of $6.8 million due and payable at maturity on December 23, 2015. The mortgage note had an outstanding balance at June 28, 2009 of approximately $9.1 million.

As of June 28, 2009, the Company has no material commitments relating to capital expenditures.

The Company’s business forecasts project that our cash position and cash flow will be sufficient to meet our corporate, operating and capital requirements through 2010.

OTHER MATTERS

Given that the Company invoices the vast majority of its sales in U.S. dollars, that the Company has a substantial manufacturing presence in China and that sales into China are primarily in U.S. dollars, should the U.S. dollar decline in relation to the Chinese RMB, the Company’s financial results will be adversely affected.

In the first two quarters of 2009, inflation had no material impact on our business and financial results.

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Report, other than historical financial information, includes forward-looking statements that involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties, including quarterly fluctuations in results. In particular, our forecast of the sufficiency of capital resources through 2010 is a forward-looking statement. Such statements are made pursuant to the “safe harbor” provisions under the securities laws, and are based on the assumptions and expectations of the Company’s management at the time such statements are made. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ include the cyclicality of our business; our manufacturing in China; a failure to maintain cost reductions; risks related to sales to the energy generation market; a failure to increase sales across our industries; a failure to effectively develop and market our products; changes in the economic, political, legal and business environments in the countries in which we operate; a failure of our business systems; the time and costs related to complying with the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act; and the loss of key personnel. Actual results may vary materially. Accordingly, you should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. Unless otherwise required by law, the Company disclaims any obligation to revise or update such forward-looking statements in order to reflect future events or developments.

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates primarily through our revolving loan agreement. As of June 28, 2009, we had no debt outstanding under our revolving loan agreement.

A significant percentage of our consolidated revenues are derived from foreign sources. Accordingly, our financial results are impacted by changes in foreign currency exchange rates with respect to the U.S. dollar.

Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Accounting Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. As described under “Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting in the company’s Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 16, 2009 ” material weaknesses were identified in our internal control over financial reporting related to the Company having an insufficient number of accounting personnel with an appropriate level of accounting knowledge and experience to prepare its financial statements in a timely and accurate manner, and the Company’s review of intercompany account reconciliations and of intercompany inventory receipts and coding of related invoices to the appropriate intercompany payable accounts was ineffective.

The Company’s Management carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of June 28, 2009, pursuant to the evaluation of these controls and procedures required by Rule 13a-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

Based upon that evaluation, Management concluded based on the aforementioned material weaknesses as of the end of the period covered by the 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K and at the period ended June 28, 2009 that our disclosure controls and procedures did not operate effectively to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Notwithstanding the ineffectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, we believe the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, our financial position or results of operations, and cash flows as of June 28, 2009 and June 29, 2008 and for the three and six month periods ended June 28, 2009 and June 29, 2008.

2. Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the six months ended June 28, 2009 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

3. Management’s remediation initiatives.

Our remediation initiatives summarized below are intended to address our material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting.

• We will continue to enhance our resources and underlying systems utilization in the area of financial reporting to improve the effectiveness and timeliness of the close process.

• We will transfer process oversight of the intercompany account reconciliation from the business unit to an independent corporate function. Further, we will enhance our controls over the matching of intercompany receipts with intercompany shipment data.

Throughout our remediation process, we continue to rely on extensive, temporary manual procedures and other measures as needed to assist us with meeting the objectives otherwise fulfilled by effective internal control over financial reporting.
