The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the 13-week and 39-week periods ended September 25, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 25, 2010.
The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 26, 2009 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 26, 2009.
The Company's fiscal year is based on a 52-53 week period ending on the last Saturday of the calendar year. Therefore the financial results of certain fiscal years, and the associated 14-week quarters, will not be exactly comparable to the prior and subsequent 52-week fiscal years and the associated quarters having only 13-weeks. The quarters and year-to-date period ended September 25, 2010 and September 26, 2009 both contain operating results for 13-weeks and 39-weeks for both year-to-date periods, respectively. |

The Company's products sold are generally covered by a warranty for periods ranging from one to two years. The Company's estimate of costs to service its warranty obligations are based on historical experience and expectation of future conditions and are recorded as a liability on the balance sheet. The following reconciliation provides an illustration of changes in the aggregate warranty reserve.
The 39-weeks ended September 25, 2010 include the effect of a refinement in the estimated warranty reserve which decreased the accrual for the period by $42,776.

Our earnings before taxes decreased 18% when compared to the same quarter in 2009, and our income tax expense decreased by $110,182, to ($68,636) for the 13-week period ended September 25, 2010, from $41,546 for the 13-week period ended September 26, 2009. The significant decline was due to the impact of one-time items booked in the current quarter. The one-time adjustment of ($114,605) includes the release of uncertain tax position reserves from 2006 to 2008 offset by a settlement for the 2007 tax year in the US and Taiwan surtax expense due to the release of reserves. Without one-time items, we would have reported an effective tax rate of 22% and 20% for the 13-weeks and the 39-weeks weeks ended September 25, 2010, respectively, compared to 16% and 18% for the 13-weeks and 39-weeks ended September 26, 2009, respectively. The increase in the adjusted effective tax rate as compared to the same period in 2009 is largely due to an unfavorable mix of income among taxing jurisdictions. |

Fair Value Measurements |
The Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). The ASC classifies the inputs used to measure fair value into the following hierarchy:
The Company endeavors to utilize the best available information in measuring fair value. Financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
For fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs, an independent third party provided the valuation. The collateral composition was used to estimate weighted average life based on historical and projected payment information. Cash flows were projected for the issuing trusts, taking into account underlying loan principal, bonds outstanding, and payout formulas. Taking this information into account, assumptions were made as to the yields likely to be required, based upon then current market conditions for comparable or similar term asset based securities as well as other fixed income securities.
Assets and liabilities measured at estimated fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below:
All Level 3 investments have been in a continuous unrealized loss position for 12 months or longer. However, it is the Company's intent to hold these securities until they recover their value. For assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) during the period, the ASC requires a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances, separately for each major category of assets. The reconciliation is as follows:
The following is a summary of the company's marketable securities classified as available-for-sale securities at September 25, 2010:
The following is a summary of the company's marketable securities classified as available-for-sale securities at December 26, 2009:
The cost of securities sold is based on the specific identification method.
The amortized cost and estimated fair value of marketable securities at September 25, 2010, by contractual maturity, are shown below. Expected maturities will differ from contractual maturities because the issuers of the securities may have the right to prepay obligations without prepayment penalties.

In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2010-06, "Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements" ("ASU 2010-06"), which is included in the ASC Topic 820 (Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures). ASU 2010-06 requires new disclosures on the amount and reason for transfers in and out of Level 1 and 2 fair value measurements. ASU 2010-06 also requires disclosure of activities, including purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements within the Level 3 fair value measurements and clarifies existing disclosure requirements on levels of disaggregation and disclosures about inputs and valuation techniques. Except for otherwise provided, ASU 2010-06 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company's financial statements.
In February 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-09, "Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements" ("ASU 2010-09"), which is included in ASC Topic 855 (Subsequent Events). ASU 2010-09 clarifies that an SEC filer is required to evaluate subsequent events through the date that the financial statements are issued. ASU 2010-09 was effective upon the issuance of the final update and did not have a significant impact on the Company's financial statements. |

Redomestication |
The redomestication effectively changed the place of incorporation of the ultimate parent holding company of Garmin from the Cayman Islands to Switzerland.
The redomestication involved several steps. On February 9, 2010, Garmin Ltd. (Cayman) formed Garmin Ltd. (Switzerland) as a direct subsidiary. On April 6, 2010, Garmin Ltd. (Cayman) petitioned the Cayman Court to order, among other things, the calling of a meeting of Garmin Ltd. (Cayman) common shareholders to approve a scheme of arrangement. On April 7, 2010, the Cayman Court ordered us to seek shareholder approval of the scheme of arrangement. On May 20, 2010 we obtained the necessary shareholder approval. On June 4, 2010, a hearing was held by the Cayman Court and at which hearing the Cayman Court was asked to and did approve the scheme of arrangement. The scheme of arrangement became effective at 3:00 a.m., Cayman Islands time, on Sunday, June 27, 2010 (the "Transaction Time").
At and shortly following the Transaction Time, the following steps occurred:
As a result of the redomestication, the shareholders of Garmin Ltd. (Cayman) became shareholders of Garmin Ltd. (Switzerland), and Garmin Ltd. (Cayman) became a subsidiary of Garmin Ltd. (Switzerland). In addition, Garmin Ltd. (Switzerland) assumed, on a one-for-one basis, Garmin Ltd. (Cayman)'s existing obligations in connection with awards granted under Garmin Ltd. (Cayman)'s equity incentive plans and other similar equity awards. Any stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock units or performance shares issued by Garmin Ltd. (Cayman) that are convertible, exchangeable or exercisable into common shares of Garmin Ltd. (Cayman) became convertible, exchangeable or exercisable, as the case may be, into registered shares of Garmin Ltd. (Switzerland).
Subsequently on July 26, 2010, Garmin Ltd. (Cayman) relocated its registered office to Switzerland and changed its name to Garmin Switzerland GmbH. The reported capitalization of the Company also changed to that of Garmin Ltd. (Switzerland). Accordingly, common stock was increased by $1,791,780 to $1,792,768, and retained earnings was reduced by the same amount.
The general terms of Garmin Ltd. (Switzerland)'s capitalization (rights of shareholders, limitations on dividends, etc.) may be found in the proxy statement and Form 8-A/A registration statement filed with the SEC on April 9, 2010 and June 28, 2010, respectively.
