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 26-week periods ended June 26, 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 ended June 26, 2010 and June 27, 2009 both contain operating results for 13-weeks for both year-to-date periods. |

Income Taxes | 9. Income Taxes
Our earnings before taxes decreased 18% when compared to the same quarter in 2009, and our income tax expense decreased by $8,377 or 22%, to $29,593, for the 13-week period ended June 26, 2010, from $37,970 for the 13-week period ended June 27, 2009, due to our earnings before taxes decline. The effective tax rate was 18.0% for both the 13-weeks and 26-weeks ended June 26, 2010 and 19.0% for the 13-weeks and 26-weeks ended June 27, 2009. The slight decrease is due to the mix of income by tax jurisdiction. We have experienced a relatively low effective corporate tax rate due to the proportion of our revenue generated by entities in tax jurisdictions with low statutory rates. In particular, the profit entitlement afforded our parent company based on its intellectual property rights ownership of our consumer products along with substantial tax incentives offered by the Taiwanese government on certain high-technology capital investments have continued to generate a relatively low tax rate. |

Fair Value Measurements | 10. Fair Value Measurements
The Accounting Standards Code (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 June 26, 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 June 26, 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 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. 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 our 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 the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (the "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 is effective upon the issuance of the final update and did not have a significant impact on the Company's financial statements. |
