In connection with the sale, a pretax loss of approximately $0.0 million was recognized, resulting in an after tax gain of $0.1 million after recognizing a tax benefit on the sale of $0.1 million. No assets or liabilities related to Efen existed on the Consolidated Balance Sheet at June 30, 2007 or December 31, 2006.

8. Restructuring

During 2005, the Company announced a downsizing of the European segment’s Ireland operation and outsourcing of more of its varistor manufacturing to lower cost Asian subcontractors. A liability of $4.9 million was recorded related to redundancy costs for the manufacturing operation associated with this downsizing. This restructuring impacts approximately 35 associates in various production and support related roles. These costs were paid in 2005 and 2006. In the second quarter of 2006, an additional $17.1 million, consisting of $20.0 million of accrued severance less a statutory rebate of $2.9 million recorded as a current asset, was recorded as part of cost of sales

related to the closure of the entire facility. During the second quarter of 2007 an additional $0.2 million was recorded as part of cost of sales related to the accumulation of additional severance benefits based upon current year service. This restructuring is part of the Company’s strategy to expand operations in Asia in order to be closer to current and potential customers and take advantage of lower manufacturing costs. This portion of the restructuring impacts approximately 131 employees. Restructuring charges are based upon each associate’s current salary and length of service with the Company. These costs will be paid through 2008.

The expected rate of return on U.S. pension assets is 8.50% and 8.50% in 2007 and 2006, respectively. The expected rate of return on foreign pension assets is 6.70% and 6.70% in 2007 and 2006, respectively.

10. Income Taxes

The effective income tax rate for the second quarter of 2007 was 28.9% compared to an effective tax rate of 34.0% in the second quarter of last year. The current quarter effective tax rate was lower than the prior year quarter primarily due to income earned in lower tax jurisdictions and less repatriation of cash from lower tax jurisdictions in the current year.

In June 2006, the FASB issued FIN 48,Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. The interpretation addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under FIN 48, the Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only 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 a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, accounting in interim periods and requires increased disclosures.

The Company adopted the provisions of FIN 48 on January 1, 2007. As a result of the implementation of FIN 48, the Company had no adjustments to retained earnings. The amount of unrecognized tax benefits at January 1, 2007 was approximately $8.0 million. Of this total, approximately $5.2 million represents the amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would favorably affect the effective income tax rate in future periods. The Company does not expect significant increases or decreases in unrecognized tax benefits during the next 12 months.

The U.S. federal statute of limitations remains open for 2003 onward. Foreign and U.S. state statute of limitations generally range from 3 to 6 years. The Company is currently under examination in several foreign jurisdictions.

The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax positions as part of the income tax provision. As of January 1, 2007 the Company had approximately $1.1 million of accrued interest and penalties.

11. Comprehensive Income

The following table sets forth the computation of comprehensive income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and July 1, 2006, respectively:

Results of Operations

Second Quarter, 2007

Sales decreased $8.8 million or 6% to $129.1 million in the second quarter of 2007, compared to $137.9 million in the second quarter of 2006 due to lower sales in the Americas and Asia primarily resulting from weakness in the sales of the Company’s electronics products. Acquisitions (including sales from Concord, SRC and Catalina) added approximately $4 million of incremental sales to the second quarter of 2007 compared to the second quarter of 2006.

On a geographic basis, sales in the Americas decreased $6.8 million or 12% in the second quarter of 2007, compared to the second quarter of last year. Within the Americas, the electronics business declined $9.0 million or 28% due to weaker demand from North American distributors reflecting distributor inventory correction and weakness in the telecommunications-sector. Sales of electrical products increased $1.5 million due to improved end-market demand and realization of price increases. Automotive sales in the Americas increased $0.7 million primarily due to higher sales to the aftermarket. Europe sales increased $0.4 million or 1% in the second quarter of 2007 compared to the second quarter of 2006 due to favorable currency effects partially offset by weaker electronics sales. Asia-Pacific sales decreased $2.4 million or 5% compared to the prior year second quarter. The decrease in Asia-Pacific sales was due to reduced demand for telecommunications and channel inventory correction. Exchange rate changes increased sales by $2.3 million in the second quarter of 2007 compared to the prior year, primarily due to changes in the euro rate.

12

Gross profit was $41.3 million or 32.0% of sales for the second quarter of 2007, compared to $31.3 million or 22.7% of sales in the same quarter last year. The second quarter of 2007 includes severance and asset write-downs of $0.3 million. The second quarter of 2006 includes $17.1 million of Ireland severance expense related to the plant closing. Gross profit for the second quarter of 2007 compared to the prior year quarter was negatively impacted by lower plant utilization, higher commodity prices, and costs related to moving manufacturing operations from Europe and the U.S. to Asia and Mexico, which include retention bonuses, accelerated depreciation, equipment move costs and redundant overhead.

Total operating expense was $29.7 million or 23.0% of sales for the second quarter of 2007 compared to $34.0 million or 24.6% of sales for the same quarter in the prior year. The decrease in operating expense in the second quarter of 2007 compared to the prior year was due primarily to lower bonus expense in 2007 and a $2.8 million write-down of German assets in the second quarter of 2006.

Operating income (loss) was $11.6 million or 9.0% of sales for the second quarter of 2007 compared to ($2.7) million or (2.0)% of sales for the same quarter of last year. The increase in operating income is due to the improvements in gross profit and operating expenses discussed above.

Interest expense was $0.4 million in the second quarter of 2007 and 2006 as average debt levels and interest rates remained relatively constant during each quarter. Other income decreased $0.4 million to $0.5 million for the second quarter of 2007 compared to $0.9 million in the second quarter of last year primarily due to lower royalty income in 2007 resulting from the expiration of a royalty agreement.

Earnings (loss) from continuing operations before and income taxes was $11.8 million for the second quarter 2007 compared to ($2.1) million for the second quarter of 2006. Income taxes were $3.4 million for the second quarter of 2007 compared to a benefit of $2.6 million in the second quarter of last year. The 2006 income tax benefit includes a $2.8 million benefit related to the recognition of certain previous years net operating losses from the Teccor acquisition partially offset by $0.9 million of charges.

Net income for the second quarter of 2007 was $8.4 million or $0.37 per diluted share compared to $0.4 million or $0.02 per diluted share for the same quarter of last year due to the factors discussed above.

Six Months, 2007

Sales for the first six months of 2007 decreased 1% to $261.0 million from $263.6 million for the first six months of last year. Acquisitions (including sales from Concord, SRC and Catalina) added approximately $9 million of incremental sales to the first six months of 2007 compared to the first six months of 2006. On a geographic basis, sales in the Americas decreased $9.9 million or 9% in the first six months of 2007 compared to the prior year due primarily to lower North American electronic sales reflecting distributor inventory correction and weakness in the telecommunications sector. Partially offsetting the lower North American electronic sales was an increase in electrical sales of $2.9 million or 13.4% as a result of improved end-market demand and realization of price increases. Europe sales increased $3.8 million or 7% in the first six months of 2007 compared to the prior year largely due to favorable currency effects. Asia-Pacific sales increased $3.5 million or 4% for the first six months of 2007 compared to the same period in the prior year primarily due to increased electronics sales throughout the region. Increases in automotive sales of $0.5 million also contributed to the Asia-Pacific growth reflecting share gain in the growing Asian markets outside of Japan. Changes in exchanges rates had the effect of increasing sales by $5.2 million for the first six months of 2007 compared to the prior year mainly due to the change in the euro rate.

Gross profit was $82.6 million or 31.6% of sales for the first six months of 2007 compared to $76.1 million or 28.9% of sales for the first six months of last year. The first six months of 2007 includes $3.9 million of expense primarily related to severance in Des Plaines, Illinois and Germany. The second quarter of 2006 includes $17.1 million of Ireland severance expense related to the plant closing and $0.9 million of severance for Germany. Gross profit for the first six months of 2007 compared to the prior year period was negatively impacted by lower plant utilization, higher commodity prices, and costs related to moving manufacturing operations from Europe and the U.S. to Asia and Mexico, which include retention bonuses, accelerated depreciation, equipment move costs and redundant overhead.

13

Total operating expense was $61.5 million or 23.6% of sales for the first six months of 2007 compared to $65.0 million or 24.7% of sales last year. The decrease in operating expense compared to the prior year period was due primarily to lower bonus expense in 2007 and a $2.8 million write-down of German assets in 2006.

Operating income for the first six months of 2007 was $21.1 million or 8.1% of sales compared to $11.1 million or 4.2% of sales for the prior year. The increase in operating income was due to the improvements in gross profit and operating expenses discussed above.

Interest expense was $0.8 million for the first six months of 2007 and 2006. Other income decreased $0.6 million to $0.9 million for the first six months of 2007 compared to $1.5 million for the first six months of 2006 primarily due to lower royalty income in 2007 resulting from the expiration of a royalty agreement.

Earnings from continuing operations before income taxes was $21.2 million for the first six months of 2007 compared to $11.8 million the first six months of last year. Income taxes were $6.6 million for the first six months of 2007 compared to $2.6 million for the first six months of last year. Income taxes for the first six months of 2006 include a $2.8 million benefit related to the recognition of certain previous years net operating losses from the Teccor acquisition partially offset by $0.9 million of charges.

Net income for the first six months of 2007 was $14.6 million compared to $9.8 million for the same period last year. Earnings per share for the first six months of 2007 was $0.65 per diluted share compared to $0.44 per diluted share last year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Assuming no material adverse changes in market conditions or interest rates, management expects that the Company will have sufficient cash from operations to support both its operations and its current debt obligations for the foreseeable future.

The EFEN business, which is presented as a discontinued operation, did not contribute significantly to cash from operations for the first six months of 2006.

Littelfuse started the 2007 year with $56.7 million of cash and cash equivalents. Net cash provided by operations was $16.0 million for the first six months. Net cash provided by operations includes net income of $14.6 million, stock based compensation of $2.6 million, depreciation of $12.1 million and amortization of $1.5 million in addition to various working capital and other items. Inventory decreased $1.2 million due to improved inventory management. Accounts payable, accrued expenses, prepaid expenses and other items reduced cash flow by $16.1 million, primarily due to higher cash payments for bonuses, severance and income taxes in the first six months of 2007. Net cash used in investing activities included $13.1 million in capital spending for the first six months of 2007. In addition, net cash used in financing activities included net payments of debt of $17.5 million offset by stock option exercises of $6.1 million. The effects of exchange rate changes increased cash by $1.1 million. The net cash provided by operations and financing activities less investing activities plus the effects of exchange rate changes resulted in a $7.5 million net decrease in cash. This left the Company with a cash balance of $49.2 million at June 30, 2007.

The days sales in receivables was approximately 59 days at the end of the second quarter of 2007, compared to 60 days at the end of fiscal 2006 and 64 days at the end of the second quarter of 2006. The days inventory outstanding was approximately 68 days at the end of the second quarter of 2007 compared to 67 days at the end of 2006 and 56 days at end of the second quarter of 2006.

The Company’s capital expenditures were $8.0 million for the second quarter of 2007 compared to $4.8 million for the second quarter of 2006. The increase in spending in 2007 relates primarily to moving manufacturing operations from Europe and the U.S. to Asia and Mexico.

The Company has an unsecured domestic financing arrangement consisting of a credit agreement with banks that provides a $75.0 million revolving credit facility, with a potential increase of up to $125.0 million upon request of the Company and agreement with the lenders, that expires on July 21, 2011. At June 30, 2007, the Company had

14

available $68.5 million of borrowing capability under the revolving credit facility at an interest rate of LIBOR plus 0.5% (5.87% as of June 30, 2007). The Company also had $6.1 million in letters of credit outstanding at June 30, 2007

The domestic bank credit agreement contains covenants that, among other matters, impose limitations on the incurrence of additional indebtedness, future mergers, sales of assets, payment of dividends, and changes in control, as defined. In addition, the Company is required to satisfy certain financial covenants and tests relating to, among other matters, interest coverage, working capital, leverage and net worth. At June 30, 2007, the Company was in compliance with these covenants.

The Company has an unsecured bank line of credit in Japan that provides a Yen 0.9 billion revolving credit facility (an equivalent of $7.3 million) at an interest rate of TIBOR plus 0.625% (1.385% as of March 31, 2007). The revolving line of credit balance becomes due on July 21, 2011. At June 30, 2007, the Company had no outstanding borrowings on the Yen facility.

The Company also has an unsecured bank line of credit that provides a Taiwanese Dollar 35.0 million revolving credit facility (an equivalent of $1.1 million) at an interest rate of two-years Time Deposit plus 0.145% (2.3% as of June 30, 2007). The revolving line of credit becomes due on August 18, 2009. At June 30, 2007, the Company had an equivalent $0.8 million outstanding on the Taiwanese Dollar facility.

The Company also has various other fixed rate loans at June 30, 2007 totaling $1.3 million with maturity dates through August 2013.

Outlook

The Company believes its long-term growth strategy, which emphasizes development of new circuit protection products, providing customers with solutions and technical support in all major regions of the world and leveraging low cost production facilities in Asia and Mexico will drive sales growth and reduce costs in each of its segments. In addition, the fundamentals for the Company’s major markets appear to be neutral to moderately positive for 2007.

The Company initiated a series of projects over the last several years to reduce costs in its global manufacturing and distribution operations as well as reduce the cost of purchased materials and transportation. These programs are expected to generate significant cost savings in 2007 and future years. On the other hand, the Company plans to continue to increase research and development spending on new electronic and automotive products in 2007.

The Company is working to expand its share of the circuit protection market by leveraging new products that it has recently acquired or developed as well as improved solution selling capabilities. In the future, the Company will look for opportunities to add to its product portfolio and technical expertise so that it can provide customers with the most complete circuit protection solutions available in the marketplace.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

The Company is exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates, foreign exchange rates, customer solvency and commodities.

The Company had debt outstanding at June 30, 2007, in the form of a domestic revolving credit facility and foreign lines of credit at variable rates. While 100% of this debt has variable interest rates, the Company’s interest expense is not materially sensitive to changes in interest rate levels since debt levels and potential interest expense increases are small relative to earnings.

A portion of the Company’s operations consists of manufacturing and sales activities in foreign countries. The Company has manufacturing facilities in Mexico, Ireland, Germany, China and the Philippines. Substantially all sales in Europe are denominated in Euro, U.S. Dollar and British Pound Sterling, and substantially all sales in the Asia-Pacific region are denominated in U.S. Dollar, Japanese Yen and South Korean Won.

The Company’s identifiable foreign exchange exposures result from the purchase and sale of products from affiliates, repayment of intercompany trade and loan amounts and translation of local currency amounts in consolidation of financial results. As international sales were more than half of total sales, a significant portion of the resulting accounts receivable are denominated in foreign currencies. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates or weak economic conditions in the foreign countries in which it manufactures and distributes products could affect the Company’s sales, accounts receivable values and financial results. The Company uses netting and offsetting intercompany account management techniques to reduce known foreign currency exposures where possible.

The Company uses various metals in the production of its products, including zinc and copper. The Company’s earnings are exposed to fluctuations in the prices of these commodities. The Company does not currently use derivative financial instruments to mitigate this commodity price risk. A 10% increase in the price of zinc and copper would increase costs by approximately $1.1 million and $1.3 million, respectively. A portion of these cost increases would be offset by customer surcharges tied to the prices of these commodities.
