NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollars in 000’s, except per share data)
(Unaudited)
Note 1 — Organization and Basis of Presentation
     Ingram Micro Inc. (“Ingram Micro”) and its subsidiaries are primarily engaged in the distribution of information technology (“IT”) products and supply chain management services worldwide. Ingram Micro operates in North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific and Latin America.
     The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Ingram Micro and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to herein as the “Company”). These financial statements have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all material adjustments (consisting of only normal, recurring adjustments) necessary to fairly state the financial position of the Company as of October 1, 2005, and its results of operations for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended October 1, 2005 and October 2, 2004, and cash flows for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 1, 2005 and October 2, 2004. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. As permitted under the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC, these financial statements do not include all disclosures and footnotes normally included with annual consolidated financial statements and, accordingly, should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC for the year ended January 1, 2005. The results of operations for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended October 1, 2005 may not be indicative of the results of operations that can be expected for the full year.
Note 2 — Earnings Per Share
     The Company reports a dual presentation of Basic Earnings per Share (“Basic EPS”) and Diluted Earnings per Share (“Diluted EPS”). Basic EPS excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the reported period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if stock options, warrants, and other commitments to issue common stock were exercised using the treasury stock method or the if-converted method, where applicable.
     The computation of Basic EPS and Diluted EPS is as follows:
                                 
    Thirteen Weeks Ended     Thirty-nine Weeks Ended  
    October 1,     October 2,     October 1,     October 2,  
    2005     2004     2005     2004

Weighted average shares, including the dilutive effect of stock options and warrants (3,855,735 and 2,571,948 for the thirteen weeks ended October 1, 2005 and October 2, 2004, respectively, and 3,786,541and 3,689,348 for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 1, 2005 and October 2, 2004, respectively)
    164,405,056       158,210,613       163,584,100       158,510,907

     There were approximately 8,959,000 and 14,012,000 stock options for the thirteen weeks ended October 1, 2005 and October 2, 2004, respectively, and 9,137,000 and 13,535,000 stock options for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 1, 2005 and October 2, 2004, respectively, that were not included in the computation of Diluted EPS because the exercise price was greater than the average market price of the Class A Common Stock during the respective periods, thereby resulting in an antidilutive effect.
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation
     The Company has adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation — Transition and Disclosure” (“FAS 148”), which amends Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“FAS 123”). As permitted by FAS 148, the Company continues to measure compensation cost in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (“APB 25”) and related interpretations, but provides pro forma disclosures of net income and earnings per share as if the fair-value method had been applied. The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions to stock-based employee compensation.

     For the thirty-nine weeks ended October 1, 2005, the Company made an adjustment to the purchase price allocation associated with the acquisition of Techpac Holdings Limited, or Tech Pacific. The adjustment reflects additional liabilities of $4,327 for costs associated with reductions in Tech Pacific’s workforce as well as closure and consolidation of redundant facilities of the acquired company. This adjustment resulted in an increase of goodwill for that same amount.
     In July 2005, the Company acquired certain net assets of AVAD, the leading distributor of home technology integration solutions for custom installers in the U.S. This strategic acquisition will accelerate the Company’s entry into the adjacent consumer electronics market and improve the Company’s operating margin in its North American operations. AVAD was acquired for an initial purchase price of $136,272, subject to the final determination of its net asset value. The purchase agreement also requires the Company to pay the seller earn-out payments of up to $80,000 over the next three years, if certain performance levels are achieved, and additional payments of up to $100,000 are possible in 2010, if extraordinary performance levels are achieved over a five-year period. Such payments, if any, will be recorded as an adjustment to the initial purchase price. The initial purchase price was preliminarily allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on estimated fair values on the transaction date, resulting in the initial recording of $47,583 of goodwill, $24,200 of trademarks with indefinite lives and $28,585 of vendor relationships and other amortizable intangible assets with average estimated useful lives of approximately 10 years. Goodwill is expected to be fully deductible for tax purposes. The Company is in the process of completing the valuation of identifiable intangible assets and expects to finalize the valuation during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2005.
     In July 2005, the Company acquired the remaining shares held by minority shareholders in an India-based subsidiary. The total purchase price for this acquisition consisted of a cash payment of $371, resulting in the recording of the same amount in goodwill.
     In July 2004, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets and assumed certain liabilities of Nimax, Inc., a privately held distributor of automatic identification and data capture/point-of-sale, barcode and wireless products, as well as enterprise mobility solutions. The purchase price, consisting of a cash payment of $8,605 at July 30, 2004 (adjusted to $8,749 at end of fiscal year 2004) and $1,000 payable on or before October 31, 2006, was preliminarily allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on estimated fair values on the transaction date. This resulted in the initial recording of $426 of goodwill and $1,103 of other amortizable intangible assets primarily related to customer and vendor relationships (adjusted to $0 and $918, respectively, at end of fiscal year 2004). In addition to the cash payments, the purchase agreement requires the Company to pay the seller up to $6,000 at the end of two years, based on a specified earn-out formula, which will be recorded as an additional adjustment to the purchase price.
     The addition to goodwill of $1,078 in Europe during the first quarter of 2004 represents the amount paid to the seller for the first year’s achievement of the earn-out related to the Company’s acquisition of an IT distributor in Belgium in 2002. The second year’s achievement of $1,532 was recorded during the fourth quarter of 2004. These cash payments are an addition to the initial purchase price required by the purchase agreement, which requires the Company to pay the seller up to Euro 1.13 million for each of the next three years after 2002 based on an earn-out formula.
Note 5 — Reorganization, Integration and Major-Program Costs
     In April 2005, the Company announced an outsourcing and optimization plan that is expected to improve operating efficiencies within its North American region. A key component of the plan is an outsourcing arrangement that moves transaction-oriented service and support functions — including certain North America positions in finance and shared services, customer service, vendor management and certain U.S. positions in technical support and inside sales (excluding field sales and management positions) — to a leading global business process outsource provider. The Company expects the outsourcing transition to be substantially complete by the end of 2005. As part of the plan, the Company has also restructured and consolidated other job functions within the North American region. The Company expects savings generated by the optimization plan to be approximately $10,000 in 2005, starting in the second quarter and ramping up to an annualized savings of $25,000 by the end of the first quarter of 2006. Total costs of the actions, or major-program costs, are estimated at approximately $26,000, of which approximately $4,717 ($709 of reorganization costs primarily for workforce reductions and $4,008 of other

     In November 2004, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of Tech Pacific. The Company continues its integration of the operations of its pre-existing Asia-Pacific business with Tech Pacific and expects to incur integration expenses of approximately $15,000, in the aggregate, which will be substantially recognized through 2005. During the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended October 1, 2005, integration expenses incurred totaled $2,512 and $10,055, respectively. The integration costs for the thirteen weeks ended October 1, 2005 consist of $1,286 of reorganization costs primarily for workforce reductions, closure of redundant facilities and other contract termination costs related to the reorganization and $1,226 of other costs charged to SG&A primarily for consulting, retention and other expenses related to the integration of this acquisition. Integration costs for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 1, 2005 consist of $4,675 of reorganization costs primarily for workforce reductions, closure of redundant facilities and other contract termination costs related to the integration and $5,380 of other costs charged to SG&A expenses, as described under the discussion of integration and major-program costs.
     In addition, in prior periods the Company has implemented other actions designed to improve operating income through enhancements in gross margins and reduction of SG&A expenses. Key components of those initiatives included enhancement and/or rationalization of vendor and customer programs, optimization of facilities and systems, outsourcing of certain IT infrastructure functions, geographic consolidations and administrative restructuring.

  $ 486,290     $ 346,183  
 
           
     In June 2002, the Company entered into a European revolving trade accounts receivable backed-financing facility supported by the trade accounts receivable of a subsidiary in Europe for Euro 107 million, or approximately $129,000, with a financial institution that has an arrangement with a related issuer of third-party commercial paper. On July 1, 2005, the Company extended this facility under the same terms and conditions for another two years. This facility requires certain commitment fees and borrowings under this facility incur financing costs at rates indexed to EURIBOR. At October 1, 2005 and January 1, 2005, the Company had no borrowings under this European revolving trade accounts receivable-backed financing facility.
     Effective July 29, 2005, the Company terminated its $150,000 revolving senior unsecured credit facility with a bank syndicate that was scheduled to expire in December 2005. On the same day, the Company entered into a new three-year $175,000 revolving senior unsecured credit facility with a new bank syndicate. The interest rate on the new revolving senior unsecured credit facility is based on LIBOR, plus a predetermined margin that is based on the Company’s debt ratings and leverage ratio. The new credit facility can also be used to support letters of credit. At January 1, 2005, the Company had no borrowings outstanding under the former credit facility. The former credit facility was also used to support letters of credit. At October 1, 2005 and January 1, 2005, letters of credit totaling approximately $17,061 and $24,255, respectively, were issued under the former credit facility to certain vendors and financial institutions to support purchases by the Company’s subsidiaries, payment of insurance premiums and flooring arrangements. The Company’s available capacity under the current agreement is reduced by the amount of any issued and outstanding letters of credit.
     On August 16, 2001, the Company sold $200,000 of 9.875% senior subordinated notes due 2008 at an issue price of 99.382%, resulting in net cash proceeds of approximately $195,084, net of issuance costs of approximately $3,680. Interest on the notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on each February 15 and August 15. On the same date, the Company also entered into interest-rate swap agreements with two financial institutions, the effect of which was to swap the fixed-rate obligation on the senior subordinated notes for a floating rate obligation equal to 90-day LIBOR plus 4.260%. At January 1, 2005, the marked-to-market value of the interest-rate swaps amounted to $14,533 and was recorded in other assets with an offsetting adjustment to the hedged debt, bringing the total carrying value of the senior subordinated notes to $213,894 at January 1, 2005.

     On August 15, 2005, the Company redeemed all of its outstanding $200,000 of 9.875% senior subordinated notes due 2008 in accordance with the terms of the Company’s indenture. The notes were redeemed at a redemption price of 104.938% of the principal amount of each note, plus accrued but unpaid interest. Concurrently with the redemption of the notes, the Company terminated its position under the interest-rate swap agreements. These actions resulted in an aggregate loss of approximately $8,413 consisting of a loss of $9,876 on the redemption of the senior subordinated notes and $2,612 on the write-off of the remaining unamortized debt issuance and discount costs; partially offset by the gains of $4,075 on the settlement of the interest-rate swap agreements.

Note 8 — Commitments and Contingencies
     There are various claims, lawsuits and pending actions against the Company incidental to its operations. It is the opinion of management that the ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
     As is customary in the IT distribution industry, the Company has arrangements with certain finance companies that provide inventory-financing facilities for its customers. In conjunction with certain of these arrangements, the Company has agreements with the finance companies that would require it to repurchase certain inventory, which might be repossessed from the customers by the finance companies. Due to various reasons, including among other items, the lack of information regarding the amount of saleable inventory purchased from the Company still on hand with the customer at any point in time, the Company’s repurchase obligations relating to inventory cannot be reasonably estimated. Repurchases of inventory by the Company under these arrangements have been insignificant to date.
     At January 1, 2005, the Company had tax liabilities of $2,418, $2,407 and $4,283 related to the gains realized on the sales of SOFTBANK Corp., or Softbank, common stock in 2002, 2000, and 1999, respectively. The Softbank common stock was sold in the public market by certain of Ingram Micro’s foreign subsidiaries, which are located in a low-tax jurisdiction. At the time of sale, the Company concluded that U.S. taxes were not currently payable on the gains based on its internal assessment and opinions received from its outside advisors. However, in situations involving uncertainties in the interpretation of complex tax regulations by various taxing authorities, the Company provides for tax liabilities unless it considers it probable that taxes will not be due. The level of opinions received from its outside advisors and the Company’s internal assessment did not allow the Company to reach that conclusion on this matter. During the thirteen weeks ended July 2, 2005, the Company had settled and paid the tax liabilities of $1,441 and $2,779 associated with the gains realized in 2000 and 1999, respectively, with certain state tax jurisdictions and favorably resolved and reversed tax liabilities of $783 and $1,418 related to tax years in 2000 and 1999, respectively, for such tax jurisdictions. Although the Company reviews its assessments of the remaining tax liability on a regular basis, at October 1, 2005, the Company cannot currently determine when the remaining tax liabilities of $2,687 related to these gains will be finally resolved with the taxing authorities, or if the taxes will ultimately be paid. As a result, the Company continues to provide for these tax liabilities. The Company’s federal tax returns for fiscal years through 2000 have been closed. The U.S. Internal Revenue Service is in the process of examining the Company’s federal tax returns for fiscal years 2001 to 2003.

     During 2002 and 2003, one of the Company’s Latin American subsidiaries was audited by the Brazilian taxing authorities in relation to certain commercial taxes. As a result of this audit, the subsidiary received an assessment of 30.0 million Brazilian reais, including interest and penalties computed through October 1, 2005, or approximately $13,500 at October 1, 2005, alleging these commercial taxes were not properly remitted for the period January through September 2002. The Brazilian taxing authorities may make similar claims for periods subsequent to September 2002. Additional assessments, if received, may be significant either individually or in the aggregate. It is management’s opinion, based upon the opinions of outside legal counsel, that the Company has valid defenses related to this matter. Although the Company is vigorously pursuing administrative and judicial action to challenge the assessment, no assurance can be given as to the ultimate outcome. An unfavorable resolution of this matter is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, but depending upon the time period and amounts involved it may have a material negative effect on the Company’s results of operations or cash flows.
     The Company received an informal inquiry from the SEC during the third quarter of 2004. The SEC’s focus to date has been related to certain transactions with McAfee, Inc. (formerly Network Associates, Inc. or NAI) from 1998 through 2000. The Company also received subpoenas from the U.S. Attorney’s office for the Northern District of California (“Department of Justice”) in connection with its grand jury investigation of NAI, which seek information concerning these transactions. The Company continues to cooperate fully with the SEC and the Department of Justice in their inquiries. The Company is engaged in discussions with the SEC toward a possible resolution of matters concerning these NAI-related transactions. The Company cannot predict with certainty the outcome of these discussions, nor can it reasonably estimate the amount of any loss or range of loss that might be incurred as a result of the resolution of these matters with the SEC and the Department of Justice. Such amounts may be material to the Company’s results of operations or cash flows.
Note 9 — New Accounting Standards
     In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment,” or FAS 123R, which was later amended in April 2005. In March 2005, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107, “Share-Based Payment,” which further explains FAS 123R. FAS 123R revises Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” or FAS 123, and supersedes Accounting Principles Board Opinion 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” and related interpretations and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure.” FAS 123R as amended requires compensation cost relating to all share-based payments to employees to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values and is effective for the Company’s fiscal years beginning January 1, 2006. The pro forma disclosures previously permitted under FAS 123 will no longer be an alternative to financial statement recognition. The Company has not finally determined the method of adoption and it has not determined whether the adoption on January 1, 2006 will result in amounts that are similar to the current pro forma disclosures under FAS 123.
     FASB Staff Position No. 109-2, “Accounting and Disclosure Guidance for the Foreign Earnings Repatriation Provision within the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004,” provides guidance with respect to recording the potential impact of the repatriation provisions of the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 (“AJCA”) on income tax expense and deferred tax liabilities. The AJCA was signed into law in October 2004 and allows the Company to repatriate up to $500,000 of permanently reinvested foreign earnings in 2005 at an effective tax rate of 5.25%. The Company has not determined whether it will take advantage of this new provision of the AJCA.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
     The following discussion includes forward-looking statements, including but not limited to, management’s expectations for competition; revenues, margin, expenses and other operating results or ratios; operating efficiencies; economic conditions; major-program or integration costs and related savings; effective income tax rates; capital expenditures; liquidity; capital requirements, acquisitions, operating models and exchange rate fluctuations. In evaluating our business, readers should carefully consider the important factors discussed in “Cautionary Statements for the Purpose of the ‘Safe Harbor’ Provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995” below. In addition, this Management’s Discussion and Analysis, or MD&A, should be read in conjunction with the MD&A and related information included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and in Exhibit 99.01 to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 1, 2005, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC. We disclaim any duty to update any forward-looking statements.
Overview of Our Business
     We are the largest distributor of information technology, or IT, products and supply chain solutions worldwide based on revenues. We offer a broad range of IT products and services and help generate demand and create efficiencies for our customers and suppliers around the world. The IT distribution industry in which we operate is characterized by narrow gross profit as a percentage of net sales, or gross margin, and narrow income from operations as a percentage of net sales, or operating margin. Historically, our margins have been impacted by pressures from price competition, as well as changes in vendor terms and conditions, including, but not limited to, variations in vendor rebates and incentives, our ability to return inventory to vendors, and time periods qualifying for price protection. We expect these competitive pricing pressures and restrictive vendor terms and conditions to continue in the foreseeable future. To mitigate these factors, we have implemented changes to and continue to refine our pricing strategies, inventory management processes and vendor program processes. In addition, we continuously monitor and change, as appropriate, certain terms and conditions offered to our customers to reflect those being imposed by our vendors. Our business also requires significant levels of working capital primarily to finance accounts receivable. We have historically relied on, and continue to rely heavily on, available cash, debt and trade credit from vendors for our working capital needs.
     In November 2004, we acquired all of the outstanding shares of Techpac Holdings Limited, or Tech Pacific, one of Asia-Pacific’s largest technology distributors, for cash and the assumption of debt. This acquisition provides us with a strong management and employee base, a history of solid operating margins and profitability, and a strong presence in the growing Asia-Pacific region. We continue to integrate the operations of our pre-existing Asia-Pacific business with Tech Pacific and expect this to be substantially completed by the end of the 2005. We expect aggregate integration expenses of approximately $15 million for workforce reductions, closure of redundant facilities, relocation and other integration actions related to this acquisition, which will be substantially recognized through the end of 2005. The Company has recognized integration expenses of $2.5 million ($1.3 million in reorganization costs and $1.2 million charged to selling, general and administrative expenses or SG&A expenses) and $10.1 million ($4.7 million in reorganization costs and $5.4 million charged to selling, general and administrative expenses or SG&A expenses), in the third quarter of 2005 and the first nine months of 2005, respectively (see Note 5 to consolidated financial statements).
     In April 2005, we announced an outsourcing and optimization plan that we expect to improve operating efficiencies by realigning and consolidating certain business functions within the North America region. A key component of the plan is an outsourcing arrangement that moves transaction-oriented service and support functions — including certain North America positions in finance and shared services, customer service, vendor management and certain U.S. positions in technical support and inside sales (excluding field sales and management positions) — to a leading global business process outsource provider. We expect the outsourcing transition to be substantially complete by the end of 2005. As part of the plan, we have also restructured and consolidated other job functions

within the North American region. We expect savings generated by the plan to be approximately $10 million in 2005, starting in the second quarter and ramping up to an annualized savings of $25 million by the first quarter of 2006. Total costs of the actions, or major-program costs, are estimated at approximately $26 million. Approximately $4.7 million ($0.7 million of reorganization costs and $4.0 million of other major-program costs, charged to SG&A expenses) and $21.0 million ($6.3 million of reorganization costs and $14.7 million of other major-program costs charged to SG&A expenses) were incurred in the third quarter of 2005 and first nine months of 2005, respectively, with the remainder to be incurred by the fourth quarter of 2005 (see Note 5 to consolidated financial statements).
     In July 2005, we acquired certain net assets of AVAD, the leading distributor of home technology integration solutions for custom installers in the U.S. AVAD was acquired for an initial purchase price of $136 million, subject to a final determination of net asset value. The purchase agreement also requires us to pay the seller earn-out payments of up to $80 million over the next three years if certain performance levels are achieved, and additional payments of up to $100 million are possible in 2010, if extraordinary performance levels are achieved over a five-year period. This transaction was funded through our existing borrowing capacity and cash.

Results of Operations for the Thirteen Weeks Ended October 1, 2005 Compared to Thirteen Weeks Ended October 2, 2004
     Our consolidated net sales increased 15.7% to $6.96 billion for the thirteen weeks ended October 1, 2005, or third quarter of 2005, from $6.02 billion for the thirteen weeks ended October 2, 2004, or third quarter of 2004. The increase in net sales was primarily attributable to the additional revenue from the Tech Pacific acquisition and improving demand environment for IT products and services in most economies worldwide.
     Net sales from our North American operations increased 1.1% to $3.09 billion in the third quarter of 2005 from $3.05 billion in the third quarter of 2004. The relatively flat net sales in North America reflects a relatively strong third quarter in 2004 brought about by Microsoft upgrade renewals and Hewlett Packard’s system migration, which redirected additional sales to us. Net sales from our European operations increased 10.0% to $2.34 billion in the third quarter of 2005 from $2.13 billion in the third quarter of 2004, primarily due to improved demand for IT products and services in most markets in Europe as well as share gains in certain markets. Net sales from our Asia-Pacific operations increased 112.0% to $1.21 billion in the third quarter of 2005 from $0.6 billion in the third quarter of 2004, primarily reflecting the addition of Tech Pacific. We continue to focus on profitable growth in our Asia-Pacific region and will make changes to business processes, add or delete products or customers, and implement other changes in the region. As a result, revenue growth rates and profitability in this emerging region may fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter. Net sales from our Latin American operations increased by 21.1% to $323 million in the third quarter of 2005 from $267 million in the third quarter of 2004, reflecting the region’s improved demand environment and the strengthening of currencies in certain Latin American markets.
     Despite the continued competitive environments in North America and Europe, as well as economic softness in certain countries in Europe, our gross margin remained relatively flat at 5.5% in the third quarters of 2005 and 2004. This reflects the results of our ongoing product and geographic diversification strategy, as well as improvements in our Asia-Pacific and Latin America businesses, partially offset by competitive pricing pressures in North America and Europe. We continuously evaluate and modify our pricing policies and certain terms and conditions offered to our customers to reflect those being imposed by our vendors and general market conditions. As we continue to evaluate our existing pricing policies and make future changes, if any, we may experience moderated or negative sales growth in the near term. In addition, increased competition and any retractions or softness in economies throughout the world may hinder our ability to maintain and/or improve gross margins from the levels realized in recent quarters.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis Continued
     Total SG&A expenses increased 9.1% to $296.9 million in the third quarter of 2005 from $272.1 million in the third quarter of 2004. The increase in SG&A expenses was primarily attributable to the addition of Tech Pacific, as well as AVAD, major-program and integration costs incurred of approximately $5.2 million ($4.0 million in North America related to our outsourcing and optimization plan and $1.2 million in Asia-Pacific for acquisition-related integration costs (see Note 5 to our consolidated financial statements)), partially offset by our continued cost control measures. As a percentage of net sales, total SG&A expenses decreased to 4.3% in the third quarter of 2005 compared to 4.5% in the third quarter of 2004, despite higher major-program and integration costs, primarily due to economies of scale from a higher level of revenue and continued cost control measures. We continue to pursue and implement business process improvements and organizational changes to create sustained cost reductions without sacrificing customer service over the long-term.
     For the third quarter of 2005, we incurred reorganization costs of $2.0 million consisting of a charge of $2.9 million ($1.6 million in North America and $1.3 million in Asia-Pacific) for detailed actions taken during the quarter and a net credit of $0.9 million for detailed actions taken in previous quarters primarily in North America. The credit balance of reorganization costs of $2.7 million ($2.6 million in North America and $0.1 million in Europe) for the third quarter of 2004 represents benefits related to previous actions for the favorable resolutions of lease termination costs (see Note 5 to our consolidated financial statements).
     Income from operations as a percentage of net sales, or operating margin, increased to 1.2% in the third quarter of 2005 compared to 1.0% in the third quarter of 2004, as a result of the increase in net sales and improvements in operating expenses as a percentage of net sales, both of which are discussed above. Our North American operating margin increased to 1.4% in the third quarter of 2005 from 1.3% in the third quarter of 2004, reflecting the economies of scale from the higher volume of business, broad set of margin initiatives and ongoing costs containment, partially offset by competitive pressures on pricing and reorganization and major-program costs incurred. Reorganization and other major-program costs were approximately 0.2% of North America net sales in the third quarter of 2005 compared to a net benefit of approximately 0.1% in the third quarter of 2004. Our European operating margin increased to 0.9% in the third quarter of 2005 from 0.8% in the third quarter of 2004, as a result of the increase in net sales and decrease in operating expenses due to cost control measures, both of which are discussed above. Our Asia-Pacific operating margin increased to 1.1% in the third quarter of 2005 from 0.2% in the third quarter of 2004, reflecting the economies of scale from the higher volume of business as a result of the Tech Pacific acquisition and benefits from the successful integration of Tech Pacific, partially offset by the integration costs incurred (approximately 0.2% of Asia-Pacific net sales). Our Latin American operating margin increased to 1.3% in the third quarter of 2005 from 1.2% in the third quarter of 2004, reflecting continued strengthening of our business processes in the region. We continue to implement process improvements and other changes to improve profitability over the long-term. However, as a result, operating margins and/or sales may fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter.
     Other expense (income) consisted primarily of interest, losses on sales of receivables under our accounts receivable-based facilities, loss on redemption of senior subordinated notes and related termination of interest-rate swap agreements, foreign currency exchange gains and losses and other non-operating gains and losses. We incurred net other expense of $20.7 million in the third quarter of 2005 compared to $5.3 million in the third quarter of 2004. The third quarter of 2005 included a loss of $8.4 million on the redemption of the senior subordinated notes and related interest-rate swap agreements while the third quarter of 2004 included a foreign-exchange gain of $4.3 million on the forward currency exchange contract related to the Australian dollar-denominated purchase of Tech Pacific. The remaining increase primarily reflects increased net debt levels primarily associated with the acquisitions of Tech Pacific and AVAD as well as higher interest rates, partially offset by a foreign-exchange gain of approximately $1.4 million primarily arising from the revaluation of the Chinese currency in July 2005 and a decrease in losses on sales receivables under our accounts receivable-based financing facilities.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis Continued
     Provision for income taxes was $13.9 million, or an effective tax rate of 22%, in the third quarter of 2005 compared to a benefit from income taxes of $22.4 million, or an effective tax benefit rate of 41%, in the third quarter of 2004. The third quarter of 2004 included a benefit of $40.0 million for the favorable resolution of previously accrued income taxes related to the gains realized on the sale of SOFTBANK Corp., or Softbank, common stock (see Note 8 to our consolidated financial statements). The remaining difference in the 2005 effective tax rate reflects the cumulative benefit of adjusting our estimated annual effective tax rate to 29% from the estimated tax rate of 31% used in the first six months of the year, as well as other discrete net benefits. The change in the estimated annual effective tax rate reflects our ongoing tax strategies as well as our estimate of the geographic mix of income.

     Our consolidated net sales increased 15.8% to $20.85 billion for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 1, 2005, or first nine months of 2005, from $18.01 billion for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 2, 2004, or first nine months of 2004. Net sales from our North American operations increased 3.6% to $8.94 billion in the first nine months of 2005 from $8.64 billion in the first nine months of 2004. Net sales from our European operations increased 8.2% to $7.41 billion in the first nine months of 2005 from $6.85 billion in the first nine months of 2004 (the appreciation of European currencies compared to the U.S. dollar contributed approximately three percentage points of the increase). Net sales from our Asia-Pacific operations increased 104.7% to $3.59 billion in the first nine months of 2005 from $1.76 billion in the first nine months of 2004. Net sales from our Latin America operations increased 17.8% to $904 million in the first nine months of 2005 from $767 million in the first nine months of 2004. The reasons for the year-over-year changes in our net sales on a worldwide basis, and individually by region, are similar to those factors discussed in the third quarters of 2005 and 2004.
     Gross margin remained relatively stable at 5.4% in the first nine months of 2005 compared to 5.5% in the first nine months of 2004, reflecting the same factors discussed in the third quarters of 2005 and 2004.
     Total SG&A expenses increased 9.5% to $887.4 million in the first nine months of 2005 from $810.3 million in the first nine months of 2004. The increase in SG&A expenses was primarily attributable to the addition of Tech Pacific, major-program and integration costs incurred of approximately $20.1 million ($14.7 million in North America related to our outsourcing and optimization plan and $5.4 million in Asia-Pacific for acquisition-related integration costs), partially offset by our continued cost control measures. As a percentage of net sales, total SG&A expenses decreased to 4.2% in the first nine months of 2005 compared to 4.5% in the first nine months of 2004, despite higher major-program and integration costs, primarily due to economies of scale from a higher level of revenue and continued cost control measures. We continue to pursue and implement business process improvements and organizational changes to create sustained cost reductions without sacrificing customer service over the long-term.
     For the first nine months of 2005, we incurred reorganization costs of $11.0 million, primarily consisting of a net charge of $6.3 million in North America and $4.7 million in Asia-Pacific. For the first nine months of 2004, we incurred a net credit adjustment to reorganization costs of $2.5 million consisting of net credits of $2.8 million for adjustments to detailed actions taken in previous quarters and a charge of $0.3 million relating to employee termination benefits for 30 employees in Asia-Pacific (see Note 5 to our consolidated financial statements).

Management’s Discussion and Analysis Continued
     Operating margin increased to 1.1% in the first nine months of 2005 from 1.0% in the first nine months of 2004. Our North American operating margin remained relatively flat at 1.1% in the first nine months of 2005 and 2004. Our European operating margin increased to 1.2% in the first nine months of 2005 compared to 1.0% in the first nine months of 2004. Our Asia-Pacific operating margin was 0.9% in the first nine months of 2005 compared to 0.1% in the first nine months of 2004. Our Latin American income from operations as a percentage of net sales increased to 1.2% in the first nine months of 2005 from 1.0% in the first nine months of 2004. The changes in operating margin for the first nine months of 2005 compared to the first nine months of 2004 on a worldwide basis and by region are largely attributable to the same factors as discussed in the third quarters of 2005 and 2004.
     Other expense (income) consisted primarily of interest, losses on sales of receivables under our accounts receivable-based facilities, loss on redemption of senior subordinated notes and termination of related interest-rate swap agreements, foreign currency exchange gains and losses and other non-operating gains and losses. We incurred net other expense of $49.4 million in the first nine months of 2005 compared to $26.5 million in the first nine months of 2004. The increase in net other expenses is primarily attributable to the same factors discussed in the third quarters of 2005 and 2004.
     Provision for income taxes was $48.5 million, or an effective tax rate of 27%, in the first nine months of 2005 compared to $7.4 million, or an effective tax rate of 5%, in the first nine months of 2004. The first nine months of 2005 and 2004 included a benefit of $2.2 million and $40.0 million, respectively, for the favorable resolution of previously accrued income taxes related to the gains realized on the sale of Softbank common stock (see Note 8 to our consolidated financial statements). The remaining change in the 2005 effective tax rate compared to 2004 primarily reflects our ongoing tax strategies as well as our estimate of the geographic mix of income.
Quarterly Data; Seasonality
     Our quarterly operating results have fluctuated significantly in the past and will likely continue to do so in the future as a result of:
  the impact of and possible disruptions caused by business model changes, including our outsourcing and optimization plan, integration or reorganization efforts, as well as the related expenses and/or charges;
 
  the impact of acquisitions we may make;
 
  seasonal variations in the demand for our products and services such as lower demand in Europe during the summer months and worldwide pre-holiday stocking in the retail channel during the September-to-December period;
 
  competitive conditions in our industry, which may impact the prices charged and terms and conditions imposed by our suppliers and/or competitors and the prices or terms and conditions we offer our customers, which in turn may negatively impact our revenues and/or gross margins;
 
  currency fluctuations in the countries where we operate;
 
  variations in our levels of excess inventory and doubtful accounts, and changes in the terms of vendor-sponsored programs such as price protection and return rights;
 
  changes in the level of our operating expenses;
 
  the loss or consolidation of one or more of our significant suppliers or customers;
 
  product supply constraints;
 
  interest rate fluctuations, which may increase our borrowing costs and may influence the willingness of customers and end-users to purchase products and services; and
 
  general economic or geopolitical conditions.
     These historical variations may not be indicative of future trends in the near term. Our narrow operating margins may magnify the impact of the foregoing factors on our operating results.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash Flows
     We have financed working capital needs largely through income from operations, available cash, borrowings under revolving credit and other facilities, and trade and supplier credit. The following is a detailed discussion of our cash flows for the first nine months of 2005 and 2004.
     Our cash and cash equivalents totaled $429.2 million and $398.4 million at October 1, 2005 and January 1, 2005, respectively.
     Net cash provided by operating activities was $99.7 million for the first nine months of 2005 compared to $641.9 million for the first nine months of 2004. The net cash provided by operating activities for the first nine months of 2005 principally reflects our earnings and reductions of accounts receivable, inventory and other current assets, partially offset by decreases in our accrued expenses and accounts payable. The reduction of accrued expenses and other current assets primarily relates to the settlement of a currency interest-rate swap and payments of variable compensation. The reductions of accounts payable, accounts receivable and inventory largely reflect the seasonally lower sales in the third quarter of 2005. The net cash provided by operating activities for the first nine months of 2004 was primarily due to earnings as well as decreases in accounts receivable and inventory, partially offset by a decrease in accounts payable. These reductions reflect the seasonally lower volume of business in the third quarter of 2004 as well as our strong working capital management. We believe the working capital levels achieved in the third quarter of 2004 were at the low end of our sustainable range.
     Net cash used by investing activities was $168.5 million for the first nine months of 2005 compared to $34.8 million for the first nine months of 2004. The net cash used by investing activities for the first nine months of 2005 was primarily due to our business acquisitions of $141.2 million and capital expenditures while the first nine months of 2004 was primarily due to capital expenditures.
     Net cash provided by financing activities was $122.5 million for the first nine months of 2005 compared to net cash used by financing activities of $67.5 million for the first nine months of 2004. The net cash provided by financing activities for the first nine months of 2005 primarily reflects the net proceeds from our debt facilities of $355.8 million and proceeds from exercise of stock options, partially offset by the redemption of our senior subordinated notes of $205.8 million and a decrease in our book overdrafts. The net cash used by financing activities for the first nine months of 2004 primarily reflects a decrease in our book overdrafts and net repayments of our debt facilities, partially offset by the proceeds received from the exercise of stock options.
Capital Resources
     We believe that our existing sources of liquidity, including cash resources and cash provided by operating activities, supplemented as necessary with funds available under our credit arrangements, will provide sufficient resources to meet our present and future working capital and cash requirements for at least the next twelve months.
     On-Balance Sheet Capital Resources
     On July 29, 2004, we entered into a revolving accounts receivable-based financing program in the U.S., which provides for up to $500 million in borrowing capacity secured by substantially all U.S.-based receivables. At our option, the program may be increased to as much as $600 million at any time prior to July 29, 2006. The interest rate on this facility is dependent on the designated commercial paper rates plus a predetermined margin at October 1, 2005. This facility expires on March 31, 2008. At October 1, 2005 and January 1, 2005, we had borrowings of $299.0 million and $0, respectively, under our revolving accounts receivable-based financing program.
     At October 1, 2005, we have a trade accounts receivable-based financing program in Canada, which matures on August 31, 2008 and provides for borrowing capacity up to 150 million Canadian dollars, or approximately $129 million. The interest rate on this facility is dependent on the designated commercial paper rates plus a predetermined margin at the drawdown date. At October 1, 2005 and January 1, 2005, we had borrowings of $55.9 million and $0, respectively, under this trade accounts receivable-based financing program.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis Continued
     In June 2002, we entered into a European revolving trade accounts receivable backed-financing facility supported by the trade accounts receivable of a subsidiary in Europe for Euro 107 million, or approximately $129 million, with a financial institution that has an arrangement with a related issuer of third-party commercial paper. On July 1, 2005, we extended this facility under the same terms and conditions for another two years. In January 2004, we entered into another three-year European revolving trade accounts receivable-backed financing facility supported by the trade accounts receivable of another subsidiary in Europe for Euro 230 million, or approximately $277 million, with the same financial institution and related issuer of third-party commercial paper. Both of these European facilities require certain commitment fees and borrowings under both facilities incur financing costs at rates indexed to EURIBOR. At October 1, 2005 and January 1, 2005, we had no borrowings under these European revolving trade accounts receivable-backed financing facilities.
     In November 2004, we assumed from Tech Pacific a multi-currency revolving trade accounts receivable-backed financing facility in Asia-Pacific supported by the trade accounts receivable of two subsidiaries in the region for 250 million Australian dollars, or approximately $191 million, with a financial institution that has an arrangement with a related issuer of third-party commercial paper that expires in June 2008. The interest rate is dependent upon the currency in which the drawing is made and is related to the local short-term bank indicator rate for such currency. This facility has no fixed repayment terms prior to maturity. At October 1, 2005 and January 1, 2005, we had borrowings of $131.4 million and $132.3 million, respectively, under this facility.
     Our ability to access financing under our North American, European and Asia-Pacific facilities is dependent upon the level of eligible trade accounts receivable and the level of market demand for commercial paper. At October 1, 2005, our actual aggregate available capacity under these programs was approximately $1.15 billion based on eligible accounts receivable outstanding, of which approximately $486 million was outstanding. We could, however, lose access to all or part of our financing under these facilities under certain circumstances, including: (a) a reduction in credit ratings of the third-party issuer of commercial paper or the back-up liquidity providers, if not replaced or (b) failure to meet certain defined eligibility criteria for the trade accounts receivable, such as receivables must be assignable and free of liens and dispute or set-off rights. In addition, in certain situations, we could lose access to all or part of our financing with respect to the August 2003 European facility as a result of the rescission of our authorization to collect the receivables by the relevant supplier under applicable local law. Based on our assessment of the duration of these programs, the history and strength of the financial partners involved, other historical data, various remedies available to us under these programs, and the remoteness of such contingencies, we believe that it is unlikely that any of these risks will materialize in the near term.
     We also assumed from Tech Pacific in November 2004, a multi-currency secured revolving loan facility, or assumed facility, of 80 million Australian dollars, or approximately $61 million. The interest rate is dependent upon the currency in which the drawing is made, and is determined based on the short-term bank indicator rate for such currency. The assumed facility is secured through the issuance of a standby letter of credit for the same amount in favor of the lender, and which assumed facility terminates on December 12, 2005. At October 1, 2005 and January 1, 2005, we had no borrowings under this facility. The assumed facility can also be used to support letters of credit. At October 1, 2005 and January 1, 2005, letters of credit totaling approximately $6.0 million and $24.1 million, respectively, were issued to certain financial institutions to support banking lines for certain subsidiaries, or local borrowings from banks made available to certain of our subsidiaries in the Asia-Pacific region. The issuance of these letters of credit reduces our available capacity under the assumed facility by the same amount.
     Effective July 29, 2005, we terminated our $150 million revolving senior unsecured credit facility with a bank syndicate that was scheduled to expire in December 2005. On the same day, we entered into a new three-year $175 million revolving senior unsecured credit facility with a new bank syndicate. The interest rate on the new revolving senior unsecured credit facility is based on LIBOR, plus a predetermined margin that is based on our debt ratings and our leverage ratio. At October 1, 2005 and January 1, 2005, we had no borrowings under the current and the former credit facility, respectively. The current and the former credit facility can also be used to support letters of credit. At October 1, 2005 and January 1, 2005, letters of credit totaling approximately $17.1 million and $24.3 million, respectively, were issued to certain vendors and financial institutions to support purchases by our subsidiaries, payment of insurance premiums and flooring arrangements. The Company’s available capacity under the current agreement is reduced by the amount of any issued and outstanding letters of credit.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis Continued
     On August 16, 2001, we sold $200 million of 9.875% senior subordinated notes due 2008 at an issue price of 99.382%, resulting in net cash proceeds of approximately $195.1 million, net of issuance costs of approximately $3.7 million. Interest on the notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on each February 15 and August 15. On the same date, we also entered into interest-rate swap agreements with two financial institutions, the effect of which was to swap our fixed-rate obligation on our senior subordinated notes for a floating rate obligation equal to 90-day LIBOR plus 4.260%. At January 1, 2005, the marked-to-market value of the interest-rate swap amounted to $14.5 million and was recorded in other assets with an offsetting adjustment to the hedged debt, bringing the total carrying value of the senior subordinated notes to $213.9 million at January 1, 2005.
     On August 15, 2005, we redeemed all of our outstanding $200 million of 9.875% senior subordinated notes due 2008 in accordance with the terms of our indenture. The notes were redeemed at a redemption price of 104.938% of the principal amount of each note, plus accrued but unpaid interest. Concurrently with the redemption of the notes, we terminated our position under the interest-rate swap agreements. These actions resulted in an aggregate loss of approximately $8.4 million consisting of a loss of $9.9 million on the redemption of the senior subordinated notes and $2.6 million on the write-off of the remaining unamortized debt issuance and discount costs; partially offset by the gains of $4.1 million on the settlement of the interest-rate swap agreements. The redemption of the notes was financed through our existing borrowing capacity and cash.
     We also have additional lines of credit, short-term overdraft facilities and other credit facilities with various financial institutions worldwide, which provide for borrowing capacity aggregating approximately $550 million at October 1, 2005. Most of these arrangements are on an uncommitted basis and are reviewed periodically for renewal. At October 1, 2005 and January 1, 2005, we had approximately $169.0 million and $168.6 million, respectively, outstanding under these facilities. At October 1, 2005 and January 1, 2005, letters of credit totaling approximately $47.5 million and $30.5 million, respectively, were issued principally to certain vendors to support purchases by our subsidiaries. The issuance of these letters of credit reduces our available capacity under these agreements by the same amount. The weighted average interest rate on the outstanding borrowings under these facilities was 6.0% and 5.0% per annum at October 1, 2005 and January 1, 2005, respectively.
     Off-Balance Sheet Capital Resources
     We have a revolving trade accounts receivable-based factoring facility in Europe, which provides up to approximately $214 million of additional financing capacity. This facility expires in December 2007. At October 1, 2005 and January 1, 2005, we had no trade accounts receivable sold to and held by third parties under our European program. Our financing capacity under the European program is dependent upon the level of our trade accounts receivable eligible to be transferred or sold into the accounts receivable financing program. At October 1, 2005, our actual aggregate available capacity under this program, based on eligible accounts receivable outstanding, was approximately $181 million. We believe that there are sufficient eligible trade accounts receivable to support our anticipated financing needs under the European accounts receivable financing program.
     Covenant Compliance
     We are required to comply with certain financial covenants under some of our on-balance sheet financing facilities, as well as our European off-balance sheet accounts receivable-based factoring facility, including minimum tangible net worth, restrictions on funded debt and interest coverage and trade accounts receivable portfolio performance covenants, including metrics related to receivables and payables. We are also restricted in the amount of additional indebtedness we can incur, dividends we can pay, as well as the amount of common stock that we can repurchase annually. At October 1, 2005, we were in compliance with all covenants or other material requirements set forth in our accounts receivable financing programs and credit agreements or other agreements with our creditors discussed above.
Other Matters
     See Note 8 to our consolidated financial statements and “Item 1. Legal Proceedings” under Part II “Other Information” for discussion of other matters.
Capital Expenditures
     We presently expect our capital expenditures not to exceed $50 million in fiscal 2005.

Cautionary Statements for the Purpose of the “Safe Harbor” Provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995
     The matters in this Form 10-Q that are forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, statements about competition, revenues, margins, expenses and other operating results or ratios, operating efficiencies, profitability, economic conditions, costs savings, restructuring, integration or major-program costs, effective income tax rates, capital expenditures, liquidity and exchange rate fluctuations, are based on our current expectations that involve certain risks, which if realized, in whole or in part, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations, including, without limitation:
  intense competition, regionally and internationally, including competition from alternative business models, such as manufacturer-to-end-user selling, which may lead to reduced prices, lower sales or reduced sales growth, lower gross margins, extended payment terms with customers, increased capital investment and interest costs, bad debt risks and product supply shortages;
 
  integration of our acquired businesses and similar transactions involve various risks and difficulties — our operations may be adversely impacted by an acquisition that (i) is not suited for us, (ii) is improperly executed, or (iii) substantially increases our debt;
 
  foreign exchange rate fluctuations, devaluation of a foreign currency, adverse governmental controls or actions, political or economic instability, or disruption of a foreign market, and other related risks of our international operations may adversely impact our operations in that country or globally;
 
  we may not achieve the objectives of our process improvement efforts or be able to adequately adjust our cost structure in a timely fashion to remain competitive, which may cause our profitability to suffer;
 
  our failure to attract new sources of profitable business from expansion of products or services or entry into new markets could negatively impact our future operating results;
 
  an interruption or failure of our information systems or subversion of access or other system controls may result in significant loss of business, assets, or competitive information;
 
  significant changes in supplier terms, such as higher thresholds on sales volume before distributors may qualify for discounts and/or rebates, the overall reduction in the amount of incentives available, reduction or termination of price protection, return levels, or other inventory management programs, or reductions in payment terms, may adversely impact our results of operations or financial condition;
 
  termination of a supply or services agreement with a major supplier or product supply shortages may adversely impact our results of operations;
 
  changes in, or interpretations of, tax rules and regulations may adversely affect our effective tax rates or may require us to pay additional tax assessments;
 
  we cannot predict with certainty, the outcome of the SEC and U.S. Attorney’s inquiries;
 
  if there is a downturn in economic conditions for an extended period of time, it will likely have an adverse impact on our business;
 
  we may experience loss of business from one or more significant customers, and an increased risk of credit loss as a result of reseller customers’ businesses being negatively impacted by dramatic changes in the information technology products and services industry as well as intense competition among resellers — increased losses, if any, may not be covered by credit insurance or we may not be able to obtain credit insurance at reasonable rates or at all;

Management’s Discussion and Analysis Continued
  rapid product improvement and technological change resulting in inventory obsolescence or changes in demand may result in a decline in value of a portion of our inventory;
 
  future terrorist or military actions could result in disruption to our operations or loss of assets, in certain markets or globally;
 
  the loss of a key executive officer or other key employees, or changes affecting the work force such as government regulations, collective bargaining agreements or the limited availability of qualified personnel, could disrupt operations or increase our cost structure;
 
  changes in our credit rating or other market factors may increase our interest expense or other costs of capital, or capital may not be available to us on acceptable terms to fund our working capital needs;
 
  our failure to adequately adapt to industry changes and to manage potential growth and/or contractions could negatively impact our future operating results;
 
  future periodic assessments required by current or new accounting standards such as those relating to long-lived assets, goodwill and other intangible assets and expensing of stock options may result in additional non-cash charges;
 
  seasonal variations in the demand for products and services, as well as the introduction of new products, may cause variations in our quarterly results; and
 
  the failure of certain shipping companies to deliver product to us, or from us to our customers, may adversely impact our results of operations.
     We operate our global business in a continually changing environment that involves numerous risks and uncertainties. Future events that may not have been anticipated or discussed here could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. We have instituted in the past and continue to institute changes in our strategies, operations and processes to address these risk factors and to mitigate their impact on our results of operations and financial condition. However, no assurances can be given that we will be successful in these efforts. For a further discussion of significant factors to consider in connection with forward-looking statements concerning us, reference is made to Exhibit 99.01 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 1, 2005; other risks or uncertainties may be detailed from time to time in our future SEC filings. We disclaim any duty to update these or any forward-looking statements.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
     There were no material changes in our quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk for third quarter ended October 1, 2005 from those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 1, 2005. For further discussion of quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk, reference is made to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 1, 2005.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
     The Company’s management evaluated, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report. There has been no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the last fiscal quarter covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Part II. Other Information
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
     During 2002 and 2003, one of our Latin American subsidiaries was audited by the Brazilian taxing authorities in relation to certain commercial taxes. As a result of this audit, the subsidiary received an assessment of 30.0 million Brazilian reais, including interest and penalties computed through October 1, 2005, or approximately $13.5 million at October 1, 2005, alleging these commercial taxes were not properly remitted for the period January through September 2002. The Brazilian taxing authorities may make similar claims for periods subsequent to September 2002. Additional assessments, if received, may be significant either individually or in the aggregate. It is management’s opinion, based upon the opinions of outside legal counsel, that we have valid defenses related to this matter. Although we are vigorously pursuing administrative and judicial action to challenge the assessment, no assurance can be given as to the ultimate outcome. An unfavorable resolution of this matter is not expected to have a material impact on our financial condition, but depending upon the time period and amounts involved it may have a material negative effect on our results of operations or cash flows.
     We received an informal inquiry from the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) during the third quarter of 2004. The SEC’s focus to date has been related to certain transactions with McAfee, Inc. (formerly Network Associates, Inc. or NAI) from 1998 through 2000. We also received subpoenas from the U.S. Attorney’s office for the Northern District of California (“Department of Justice”) in connection with its grand jury investigation of NAI, which seek information concerning these transactions. We continue to cooperate fully with the SEC and the Department of Justice in their inquiries. We are engaged in discussions with the SEC toward a possible resolution of matters concerning these NAI-related transactions. We cannot predict with certainty the outcome of these discussions, nor can we reasonably estimate the amount of any loss or range of loss that might be incurred as a result of the resolution of these matters with the SEC and the Department of Justice. Such amounts may be material to our results of operations or cash flows.
