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 29, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 29, 2012.

The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2011 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.

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 September 29, 2012 and September 24, 2011 both contain operating results for 13 weeks.

The components of inventories consist of the following:

The Company’s products sold are generally covered by a warranty for periods ranging from one to three 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 Company is party to certain commitments, which includes raw materials, advertising and other indirect purchases in connection with conducting our business. Pursuant to these agreements, the Company is contractually committed to make purchases of approximately $175,016 over the next five years.

In the normal course of business, the Company and its subsidiaries are parties to various legal claims, actions, and complaints, including matters involving patent infringement and other intellectual property claims and various other risks. It is not possible to predict with certainty whether or not the Company and its subsidiaries will ultimately be successful in any of these legal matters, or if not, what the impact might be. However, the Company’s management does not expect that the results in any of these legal proceedings will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

The Company’s income before taxes decreased 7% when compared to the same quarter in 2011, while income tax expense decreased by $2,376, to $22,279 for the 13-week period ended September 29, 2012, from $24,655 for the 13-week period ended September 24, 2011. The effective tax rate was 13.7% in the third quarter of 2012 and 14.1% in the third quarter of 2011. The decrease in the effective tax rate was primarily driven by the mix of income by tax jurisdiction.The effective tax rate was 12.0% in the first three quarters of 2012 and 10.9% in the first three quarters of 2011. The lower effective tax rate in 2011 was primarily driven by the release of reserves related to the expiration of certain statutes of limitations for Garmin Europe.  This was partially offset by the release of income tax reserves due to the expiration of a statute of limitations in Taiwan during the second quarter of 2012. The remaining difference relates to the mix of income by tax jurisdiction.

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. All financial assets were valued using active markets (Level 1 inputs) at September 29, 2012 and December 31, 2011.

The cost of securities sold is based on the specific identification method.

The amortized cost and estimated fair value of marketable securities at September 29, 2012, 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.

During 2011, sales of products bundled with lifetime map updates (LMUs) and premium traffic service increased significantly as a percentage of total product sales. Concurrently, market conditions caused decreases in the average selling price (ASP) and margins of comparable models year over year, new bundled products were introduced at lower ASPs, and the difference in pricing of bundled units and comparable unbundled models decreased considerably. Due to these changes, the Company determined it was appropriate to change its estimate of the per unit revenue and cost deferrals during the third quarter of 2011. Additional details are available in the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.

The change in the per unit revenue deferral discussed above and increased amortization of previously deferred revenues are the principal factors which led to net deferred revenue of $20.0 million and $23.8 million during the 13-week periods ended September 29, 2012 and September 24, 2011, respectively, and $35.3 million and $107.4 million during the 39-week periods ended September 29, 2012 and September 24, 2011, respectively.

During the second quarter of 2012, the Company determined certain license fee payments to one of its suppliers had exceeded contractual requirements since the third quarter of 2010.  The periodic royalty audit by the supplier, which was already underway, was completed in June 2012, resulting in a net overpayment of such license fees of $20.8 million. This credit is reflected in cost of goods sold for the 39-week period ended September 29, 2012 and is included in accounts receivable on the September 29, 2012 condensed consolidated balance sheet.

In July 2012, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2012-02 “Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment” (ASU 2012-02), which is included in ASC Topic 350 (Intangibles—Goodwill and Other). ASU 2012-02 provides an option for companies to use a qualitative approach to test indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment if certain conditions are met. The amendments are effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012 (early adoption is permitted). The implementation of the amended accounting guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
