3. EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic net income per common share is calculated based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common and potentially dilutive common shares outstanding during the period. Potentially dilutive common shares of our stock result from dilutive common stock options and shares purchased through our employee stock purchase plan.
The following table is a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators in the net income per common share calculations (in thousands, except per common share data):
                                 
    Three months ended March 31,     Six months ended March 31,  
    2011     2010     2011     2010  
Numerator:
                               
Net income
  $ 2,239     $ 1,686     $ 4,555     $ 2,885  
 
                       
Denominator:
                               
Denominator for basic net income per common share — weighted average shares outstanding
    25,230       24,816       25,169       24,758  
Effect of dilutive securities:
                               
Employee stock options and employee stock purchase plan
    462       397       393       314  
 
                       
Denominator for diluted net income per common share — adjusted weighted average shares
    25,692       25,213       25,562       25,072  
 
                       
 
                               
Net income per common share, basic
  $ 0.09     $ 0.07     $ 0.18     $ 0.12  
 
                       
 
                               
Net income per common share, diluted
  $ 0.09     $ 0.07     $ 0.18     $ 0.12  
 
                       
Potentially dilutive shares related to stock options to purchase common shares were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per common share set forth above because the options’ exercise prices were greater than the average market price of common shares and, therefore, their effect would be anti-dilutive. For the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2011 there were 1,856,496 and 2,006,496 potentially dilutive shares related to stock options, respectively. For the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2010 there were 2,495,421 and 2,865,921 potentially dilutive shares related to stock options, respectively.

5. ACQUISITION
Spectrum Design Solutions, Inc.
On July 23, 2008, we acquired Spectrum Design Solutions, Inc. (“Spectrum”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Digi International Inc. that performs wireless design services. The acquisition was structured as a merger with a cash purchase price of $10.0 million. Of this amount, $4.0 million was paid on the acquisition date, $3.0 million was paid in January 2010, and the remaining $3.0 million will be paid in July 2011. The remaining deferred payment of $3.0 million is recorded as a liability on our consolidated balance sheet at its current net present value, on which implied interest is accrued up until the time of payment.
6. MARKETABLE SECURITIES
Our marketable securities consist of certificates of deposit, commercial paper, corporate bonds and government municipal bonds.
We analyze our available-for-sale investments for impairment on an ongoing basis. We consider factors in determining whether an unrealized loss is a temporary loss or an other-than-temporary loss such as: (a) whether we have the intent to sell the security or (b) whether it is more likely than not that we will be required to sell the security before its anticipated recovery. We also consider factors such as the length of time and extent to which the securities have been in an unrealized loss position and the trend of any unrealized losses.
In order to estimate the fair value for each security in our investment portfolio, we obtain quoted market prices and trading activity for each security, where available, and review the financial solvency of each security issuer and obtain other relevant information from our investment advisor. As of March 31, 2011, 29 of our securities were trading below our amortized cost basis. We determined each decline in value to be temporary based upon the above described factors. We expect to realize the fair value of these securities, plus accrued interest, either at the time of maturity or when the security is sold.
All of our current holdings are classified as available-for-sale marketable securities and are recorded at fair value on our balance sheet with the unrealized gains and losses recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).

7. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Fair value is defined as the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the measurement date. This standard also establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value. This standard maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from independent sources. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect our assumptions about the factors market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability based upon the best information available in the circumstances. The categorization of financial assets and liabilities within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

7. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (CONTINUED)
The hierarchy is broken down into the following three levels:
    Level 1 — Inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
 
    Level 2 — Inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, and inputs (other than quoted prices) that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
 
    Level 3 — Inputs are unobservable for the asset or liability and their fair values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar techniques and at least one significant model assumption or input is unobservable. Level 3 may also include certain investment securities for which there is limited market activity or a decrease in the observability of market pricing for the investments, such that the determination of fair value requires significant judgment or estimation.
Fair value is applied to financial assets such as our marketable securities, which are classified and accounted for as available-for-sale. These items are stated at fair value at each reporting period using the above guidance.
The following tables provide information by level for financial assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis (in thousands):

7. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (CONTINUED)
Cash equivalents are measured at fair value using quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets. We value our Level 2 assets using inputs that are based on market indices of similar assets within an active market. There were no transfers in or out of our Level 2 financial assets during the six months ended March 31, 2011.
We had no financial assets valued with Level 3 inputs as of March 31, 2011 nor did we purchase or sell any Level 3 financial assets during the six months ended March 31, 2011.
The use of different assumptions, applying different judgment to matters that are inherently subjective and changes in future market conditions could result in different estimates of fair value of our securities, currently and in the future. If market conditions deteriorate, we may incur impairment charges for securities in our investment portfolio.

9. INCOME TAXES
Income taxes have been provided at an effective rate of 26.1% and 34.2% for the six month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
In the six month period ended March 31, 2011, we recorded a discrete tax benefit of $0.6 million. This benefit primarily resulted from the reversal of tax reserves from various jurisdictions related to the expiration of the statutes of limitations as well as from the enactment of the Tax Relief, Unemployment Insurance Reauthorization, and Job Creation Act of 2010 extending the research and development tax credit that allowed us to record tax credits earned during the last three quarters of fiscal 2010 in the first quarter of fiscal 2011. This benefit reduced our effective tax rate by 9.3 percentage points for the six month period ended March 31, 2011.
A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of uncertain tax positions is (in thousands):
         
Uncertain tax positions as of September 30, 2010
  $ 2,265  
Increases related to:
       
Prior year income tax positions

Decreases related to:
       
Expiration of the statute of limitations
    (466 )
 
     
Uncertain tax positions as of March 31, 2011
  $ 1,833  
 
     
The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect our effective tax rate is $1.7 million.
We recognize interest and penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. During the six months ended March 31, 2011, we recognized a net benefit of $0.1 million primarily due to the reversal of reserves related to the expiration of the statute of limitations. During the six months ended March 31, 2010 we recognized expense of $0.1 million of interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in the provision for income taxes. As of March 31, 2011 and September 30, 2010, we had accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits of $0.5 million and $0.6 million, respectively, included in long-term income taxes payable on our condensed consolidated balance sheet.
There are no tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will increase or decrease significantly over the next 12 months.
We operate in multiple tax jurisdictions both in the U.S. and outside of the U.S. Accordingly, we must determine the appropriate allocation of income to each of these jurisdictions. This determination requires us to make several estimates and assumptions. Tax audits associated with the allocation of this income may require an extended period of time to resolve and may result in adjustments to our income tax balances in those years that are material to our consolidated financial position and results of operations. We are no longer subject to income tax examination for tax years prior to fiscal 2009 with respect to U.S. federal income tax authorities and fiscal 2006 with respect to foreign income tax authorities. Further, we are no longer subject to income tax examination for tax years generally before fiscal 2006 with respect to U.S. state taxing authorities, consisting primarily of Minnesota and California.

10. PRODUCT WARRANTY OBLIGATION
In general, we warrant our products to be free from defects in material and workmanship under normal use and service. The warranty periods range from one to five years from the date of receipt. We have the option to repair or replace products we deem defective with regard to material or workmanship. Estimated warranty costs are accrued in the period that the related revenue is recognized based upon an estimated average per unit repair or replacement cost applied to the estimated number of units under warranty. These estimates are based upon historical warranty incidents and are evaluated on an ongoing basis to ensure the adequacy of the warranty accrual. The following table summarizes the activity associated with the product warranty accrual (in thousands):

Contingent obligations
Initial Public Offering Securities Litigation
On April 19, 2002, a consolidated amended class action complaint was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York asserting claims relating to the initial public offering (IPO) of our subsidiary NetSilicon, Inc. and approximately 300 other public companies. We acquired Net Silicon, Inc. on February 13, 2002. The complaint names us as a defendant along with NetSilicon, certain of its officers and certain underwriters involved in NetSilicon’s IPO, among numerous others, and asserts, among other things, that NetSilicon’s IPO prospectus and registration statement violated federal securities laws because they contained material misrepresentations and/or omissions regarding the conduct of NetSilicon’s IPO underwriters in allocating shares in NetSilicon’s IPO to the underwriters’ customers. We believe that the claims against the NetSilicon defendants are without merit and have defended the litigation vigorously. Pursuant to a stipulation between the parties, the two named officers were dismissed from the lawsuit, without prejudice, on October 9, 2002.

11. CONTINGENCIES (CONTINUED)
As previously disclosed, the parties advised the District Court on February 25, 2009 that they had reached an agreement-in-principle to settle the litigation in its entirety. A stipulation of settlement was filed with the District Court on April 2, 2009. On June 9, 2009, the District Court preliminarily approved the proposed global settlement. Notice was provided to the class, and a settlement fairness hearing, at which members of the class had an opportunity to object to the proposed settlement, was held on September 10, 2009. On October 6, 2009, the District Court issued an order granting final approval to the settlement. Ten appeals were initially filed objecting to the definition of the settlement class and fairness of the settlement, and since the filing of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2010, five of those appeals remain pending. Two appeal briefs have been filed by the remaining five objector groups, and those appeals remain pending.
Under the settlement, our insurers are to pay the full amount of settlement share allocated to us, and we would bear no financial liability beyond our deductible of $250,000. While there can be no guarantee as to the ultimate outcome of this pending lawsuit, we expect that our liability insurance will be adequate to cover any potential unfavorable outcome, less the applicable deductible amount of $250,000 per claim. As of March 31, 2011, we have an accrued liability for the anticipated settlement of $300,000, which we believe is adequate and reflects the amount of loss that is probable, and a receivable related to the insurance proceeds of $50,000, which represents the anticipated settlement of $300,000 less our $250,000 deductible. In the event we should have losses that exceed the limits of the liability insurance, such losses could have a material adverse effect on our business and our consolidated results of operations or financial condition.
Patent Infringement Lawsuits
On March 16, 2011, MOSAID Technologies Incorporated filed a patent infringement lawsuit against us in federal court in the Eastern District of Texas. The lawsuit included allegations against Digi and 32 other companies pertaining to the infringement of six patents by products compliant with various Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers standards for implementing wireless local area network computer communications in certain frequency bands. The lawsuit seeks monetary and non-monetary relief. We cannot predict the outcome of this matter or estimate a range of loss at this time or whether it will have a materially adverse impact on our business prospects and our consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flow.
On January 18, 2011, Advanced Processor Technologies LLC filed a patent infringement lawsuit against us in federal court in the Eastern District of Texas. The lawsuit included allegations against Digi and eight other companies pertaining to the infringement of two patents by products containing data processors with memory management units. The lawsuit seeks monetary and non-monetary relief. We cannot predict the outcome of this matter or estimate a range of loss at this time or whether it will have a materially adverse impact on our business prospects and our consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flow.
On May 11, 2010, SIPCO, LLC filed a patent infringement lawsuit against us in federal court in the Eastern District of Texas. This claim has subsequently been moved to the Northern District of Georgia. The lawsuit included allegations against Digi and five other companies pertaining to the infringement of SIPCO’s patents by wireless mesh networking products. The lawsuit seeks monetary and non-monetary relief. We cannot predict the outcome of this matter or estimate a range of loss at this time or whether it will have a materially adverse impact on our business prospects and our consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flow.
12. RESTRUCTURING
On April 23, 2009, we announced a business restructuring to increase our focus on wireless products and solutions that include hardware, software and services.

ITEM 2.   MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
OVERVIEW
We operate in the communications technology industry, which is characterized by rapid technological advances and evolving industry standards. The marketplace in this industry can be affected significantly by new product introductions and marketing activities of industry participants. We compete for customers on the basis of existing and planned product features, service capabilities, company reputation, brand recognition, technical support, relationships with partners, quality and reliability, product development capabilities, price and availability. We help customers connect, monitor, and control local or remote electronic devices over a network, via the Internet or via satellite.
Net sales increased from $45.1 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2010 to $49.7 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2011, an increase of $4.6 million, or 10.3%. Net sales in the second quarter of fiscal 2011 also increased by $1.4 million, or 2.9%, compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2011. Net income and net income per diluted share increased from $1.7 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, in the second quarter of fiscal 2010 to $2.2 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, in the second quarter of fiscal 2011, an increase of $0.5 million, or $0.02 per diluted share.
Our wireless products net sales grew from $15.8 million, or 35.0% of net sales, in the second quarter of fiscal 2010 to $19.2 million, or 38.7% of net sales, in the second quarter of fiscal 2011, an increase of 21.7%. Wireless products net sales increased from $30.9 million, or 35.1% of net sales, in the first six months of fiscal 2010 to $39.4 million, or 40.2% of net sales, in the first six months of fiscal 2011. Our wireless sales increased in the first half of fiscal 2011 primarily due to large customers’ deployment of our wireless machine to machine (“M2M”) solutions across our key vertical markets.
Total operating expenses increased $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to March 31, 2010, primarily due to the increased investment in our iDigi® platform and the full reinstatement for fiscal 2011 of our incentive compensation program which had been partially reinstated in fiscal 2010. Operating expenses in the second quarter of fiscal 2010 benefited by $0.4 million due to a reduction of the restructuring reserve because expenses associated with our restructuring plan were less than expected.
We anticipate that growth in the future will result from products and services that are developed internally as well as from products and services that are acquired. Our key vertical markets within our overall wireless focus are primarily in the Smart Grid, fleet management, tank monitoring and medical markets.

Non-embedded
Our non-embedded revenue increased by $2.4 million or 9.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2010. The increase resulted primarily from an increase of $2.8 million in net sales of cellular products, serial servers, wireless communication adaptors and USB products, which were partially offset by a decrease of $0.4 million in net sales of serial cards. For the six months ended March 31, 2011 compared to the six months ended March 31, 2010, our non-embedded revenue increased by $4.8 million or 9.6%. The increase resulted primarily from an increase of $5.8 million in net sales of cellular products, wireless communication adaptors and serial servers, which were partially offset by a decrease of $1.0 million in net sales of USB products and serial cards. Sales of serial cards have been historically declining and we expect that trend to continue as serial cards are maturing. Geographically most of the increase in our non-embedded net sales took place in the North American, Latin American and Asian regions, partially offset by a small decrease in the European, Middle Eastern and African (“EMEA”) region.

Embedded
Our embedded revenue increased by $2.2 million or 10.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2010, and increased by $5.2 million or 13.7% for the six months ended March 31, 2011 compared to the six months ended March 31, 2010. Most of the increase resulted from increases in net sales of modules, engineering design services and chips. The increase in our embedded net sales took place in all regions except for Latin America.

The fluctuation of foreign currency rates had a favorable impact on net sales of $0.1 million and an unfavorable impact of $0.3 million for the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2011, respectively, when compared to the same periods a year ago.
GROSS MARGIN
Gross margins were 51.6% and 51.4% for the three and six months ended March 31, 2011, respectively, compared to 50.5% for both the three and six months ended March 31, 2010. The increase in the gross margin for both the three and six months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to the same period a year ago primarily was due to favorable changes in product mix, product cost reduction efforts and a reduction of purchased and core technology amortization as certain purchased and core technologies are now fully amortized.
OPERATING EXPENSES

ITEM 2.   MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
OPERATING EXPENSES (CONTINUED)
The net decrease of $0.1 million in sales and marketing expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to March 31, 2010 primarily was due to a decrease in commissions of $0.4 million, partially offset by an increase of $0.3 million in other compensation-related expenses. For the six months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to March 31, 2010, the net increase of $0.5 million in sales and marketing expenses was primarily due to an increase of $0.6 million in compensation-related expenses resulting from increased headcount and an increase of $0.2 million in other sales and marketing expenses. This was partially offset by a decrease in commissions of $0.3 million.
Research and development expenses increased $0.8 million and $2.1 million for the three and six months, ended March 31, 2011, respectively, as compared to the same periods a year ago. This was due primarily to an increase of $0.3 million and $1.0 million for the three and six months ended March 31, 2011, respectively, for compensation-related expenses mostly as a result of a fully restored incentive compensation program and an increase in headcount. Also contributing to the increase was $0.3 million and $0.8 million for the three and six months ended March 31, 2011, respectively, for development expenses focused on the iDigi® platform, as well as other product certification and custom development costs.
The net increase in general and administrative expenses of $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2010 primarily was due to an increase of legal and professional fees and compensation-related expenses. For the six months ended March 31, 2011 compared to March 31, 2010, the net increase in general and administrative expenses of $0.7 million was due to increased legal and professional fees.
During the second quarter of fiscal 2010, we eliminated $0.4 million of the restructuring accrual as a result of lower than expected costs associated with continued medical benefits and lower than expected relocation costs. In fiscal 2011, further reductions included an immaterial amount in the second quarter and $0.1 million in the first half of the year due to lower than expected relocation costs and legal fees relating to claims that are no longer probable of assertion.
We expect that total operating expenses will be approximately 42% to 44% of net sales for the full fiscal year 2011.
OTHER (EXPENSE) INCOME, NET
Other (expense) income, net decreased by $0.5 million for both the three and six months ended March 31, 2011 mostly related to foreign currency due to the weakening of the U.S. dollar against the Euro. Foreign currency net losses were $0.2 million for both the three and six months ended March 31, 2011 compared to foreign currency net gains of $0.3 million for both the three and six months ended March 31, 2010. Interest income, net remained approximately the same for both the three month and six month periods ended March 31, 2011 compared to the same periods in the prior year.

ITEM 2.   MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
INCOME TAXES
Income taxes have been provided at an effective rate of 26.1% and 34.2% for the six month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. In the six month period ended March 31, 2011, we recorded a discrete tax benefit of $0.6 million. This benefit primarily resulted from the reversal of tax reserves from various jurisdictions related to the expiration of the statutes of limitations as well as from the enactment of the Tax Relief, Unemployment Insurance Reauthorization, and Job Creation Act of 2010 extending the research and development tax credit that allowed us to record tax credits earned during the last three quarters of fiscal 2010 in the first quarter of fiscal 2011. This benefit reduced our effective tax rate by 9.3 percentage points for the six month period ended March 31, 2011.
We expect our annualized 2011 income tax rate, including the impact of the above discrete tax items, to be approximately 32% to 34%.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
We have financed our operations principally with funds generated from operations. At March 31, 2011, we had cash, cash equivalents and short-term marketable securities of $91.4 million compared to $87.6 million at September 30, 2010. Our working capital (current assets less total current liabilities) increased $5.3 million to $127.4 million at March 31, 2011 compared to $122.1 million at September 30, 2010. We anticipate total fiscal 2011 capital expenditures will be approximately $3.2 million.
Net cash provided by operating activities was $7.5 million for the six months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to $9.0 million for the six months ended March 31, 2010, a net decrease of $1.5 million. This decrease primarily was due to working capital net decreases of $3.1 million, primarily for increased accounts payable in the prior year related to inventory purchases, offset by smaller increases in accounts receivable in the six months ended March 31, 2011 compared to the six months ended March 31, 2010. This was also partially offset by an increase in net earnings of $1.7 million.
Net cash used in investing activities was $3.5 million during the six months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to net cash used in investing activities of $28.6 million during the six months ended March 31, 2010. There were $22.1 million fewer net purchases of marketable securities in the six months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to the same period in the prior year. Also during the six months ended March 31, 2010, we used $3.0 million of cash to pay the former shareholders of Spectrum for a deferred cash payout related to our acquisition of that company.
Cash provided by financing activities was $1.8 million and $1.5 million during the six months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, a net increase of $0.3 million. We received $0.1 million more in proceeds from stock option plan transactions during the first half of fiscal 2011 as compared to the same period a year ago. Excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation also provided $0.2 million more cash in the first half of fiscal 2011 as compared to the same period a year ago.
We expect positive cash flows from operations and believe that our current cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities balances, cash generated from operations and our ability to secure debt and/or equity financing will be sufficient to fund our business operations for the next twelve months and beyond.
The contractual obligations disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2010 had no material changes through March 31, 2011.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
There have been no accounting pronouncements recently issued that will affect our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
ITEM 3.   QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
INTEREST RATE RISK
Our exposure to interest rate risk relates primarily to our investment portfolio. Our marketable securities are classified as available-for-sale and are carried at fair value. Marketable securities consist of certificates of deposit, commercial paper, corporate bonds and government municipal bonds. Our investment policy specifies the types of eligible investments and minimum credit quality of our investments, as well as diversification and concentration limits which mitigate our risk. We do not use derivative financial instruments to hedge against interest rate risk because the majority of our investments mature in less than a year.
FOREIGN CURRENCY RISK
We have transactions that are executed in the U.S. Dollar, British Pound, Euro, Japanese Yen and Indian Rupee. As a result, we are exposed to foreign currency transaction risk associated with certain sales transactions being denominated in Euros, British Pounds, Japanese Yen or Indian Rupees, and foreign currency translation risk as the financial position and operating results of our foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. Dollars for consolidation. We have not implemented a formal hedging strategy to reduce foreign currency risk.
For the six months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, we had approximately $40.6 million and $36.0 million, respectively, of net sales to foreign customers including export sales, of which $14.2 million and $12.8 million, respectively, were denominated in foreign currency, predominantly Euros and British Pounds. In future periods, we expect a significant portion of sales will continue to be made in both Euros and British Pounds.
The table below compares the average monthly exchange rates of the Euro, British Pound, Japanese Yen and Indian Rupee to the U.S. Dollar:
                         
    Six months ended March 31,     % increase  
    2011     2010     (decrease)  
Euro
    1.3631       1.4326       (4.9 )%
British Pound
    1.5912       1.5985       (0.5 )%
Japanese Yen
    0.0121       0.0111       9.4 %
Indian Rupee
    0.0221       0.0216       2.3 %
A 10% change from the first six months of fiscal year 2011 average exchange rate for the Euro, British Pound, Japanese Yen and Indian Rupee to the U.S. Dollar would have resulted in a 1.5% increase or decrease in net sales and a 1.9% increase or decrease in stockholders’ equity. The above analysis does not take into consideration any pricing adjustments we might consider in response to changes in such exchange rates.

ITEM 3.   QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK (CONTINUED)
CREDIT RISK
We have some exposure to credit risk related to our accounts receivable portfolio. Exposure to credit risk is controlled through regular monitoring of customer financial status, credit limits and collaboration with sales management on customer contacts to facilitate payment.
Investments are made in accordance with our investment policy and consist of certificates of deposit, commercial paper, government municipal bonds and corporate bonds. We may have some credit exposure related to the fair value of our securities, which could change based on changes in market conditions. If market conditions deteriorate or if these securities experience credit rating downgrades, we may incur impairment charges for securities in our investment portfolio.
ITEM 4.   CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
As of the end of the period covered by this report, we conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)). Based on this evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act was recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the principal executive and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

The disclosures set forth in Note 11 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q are incorporated herein by reference.
ITEM 1A.   RISK FACTORS
In addition to the risk factors previously disclosed in Item 1A of Part I of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2010, we have identified the following risk factor:
The impact of natural disasters, such as the earthquake and tsunami that took place in March 2011 in Japan, could negatively impact our supply chain and customers resulting in an adverse impact to our revenues and profitability.
Certain of our components and other materials used in producing our products are from the Japan region. If we are unable to procure these materials, we could experience a disruption to our supply chain that would hinder our ability to produce our products in a timely manner, or cause us to seek other sources of supply, which may be more costly or which we may not be able to procure on a timely basis. In addition, our customers may not follow their normal purchasing patterns or temporarily cease purchasing from us due to impacts to their businesses in the region, creating unexpected fluctuations or decreases in our revenues and profitability. Natural disasters in other parts of the world on which our operations are reliant also could have material adverse impacts on our business.
