NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollars in 000s, 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 consolidated 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 September 30, 2006, and its results of operations for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 30, 2006 and October 1, 2005, and cash flows for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 30, 2006 and October 1, 2005. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. As permitted under the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC, these consolidated 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 December 31, 2005. The results of operations for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 30, 2006 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 uses the treasury stock method or the if-converted method, where applicable, to compute the potential dilution that would occur if stock awards and other commitments to issue common stock were exercised.
     The computation of Basic EPS and Diluted EPS is as follows:
                                 
    Thirteen Weeks Ended     Thirty-nine Weeks Ended  
    September 30,     October 1,     September 30,     October 1,  
    2006     2005     2006     2005

Weighted average shares
    165,139,935       160,549,321       164,483,294       159,797,559

Weighted average shares, including the dilutive effect of stock awards (4,571,720 and 3,855,735 for the thirteen weeks ended September 30, 2006 and October 1, 2005, respectively, and 5,152,675 and 3,786,541 for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 30, 2006 and October 1, 2005, respectively)
    169,711,655       164,405,056       169,635,969       163,584,100  
 
                       
 
                               
Diluted EPS

(Dollars in 000s, except per share data)
(Unaudited)
     There were approximately 6,772,000 and 8,959,000 stock awards for the thirteen weeks ended September 30, 2006 and October 1, 2005, respectively, and 3,660,000 and 9,137,000 stock awards for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 30, 2006 and October 1, 2005, 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.
Note 3 – Stock-Based Compensation
     Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (“FAS 123R”). FAS 123R addresses the accounting for stock-based payment transactions in which an enterprise receives employee services in exchange for (a) equity instruments of the enterprise or (b) liabilities that are based on the fair value of the enterprise’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of such equity instruments. In March 2005, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 (“SAB 107”) regarding its interpretation of FAS 123R and the valuation of share-based payments for public companies. The Company has applied the provisions of SAB 107 in its adoption of FAS 123R.
     FAS 123R eliminates the ability to account for stock-based compensation transactions using the intrinsic value method under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (“APB 25”), and instead generally requires that such transactions be accounted for using a fair-value-based method and expensed in the consolidated statement of income. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to determine the fair value of stock options under FAS 123R, consistent with the method previously used for its pro forma disclosures under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“FAS 123”). The Company has elected the modified prospective transition method as permitted by FAS 123R; accordingly, prior periods have not been restated to reflect the impact of FAS 123R. The modified prospective transition method requires that stock-based compensation expense be recorded for all new and unvested stock options, restricted stock and restricted stock units that are ultimately expected to vest as the requisite service is rendered beginning on January 1, 2006, the first day of the Company’s fiscal year 2006. Stock-based compensation expense for awards granted prior to January 1, 2006 is based on the grant date fair value as previously determined under the disclosure only provisions of FAS 123. The Company recognizes these compensation costs, net of an estimated forfeiture rate, on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award, which is the vesting term of outstanding stock awards. The Company estimated the forfeiture rate for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 30, 2006 based on its historical experience during the preceding five fiscal years.
     Compensation expense of $6,531 and $22,174 for the thirteen and the thirty-nine weeks ended September 30, 2006, respectively, was recognized upon adoption of FAS 123R and the related deferred tax asset established was $1,829 and $6,209, respectively. In accordance with FAS 123R, beginning in 2006, the Company has presented excess tax benefits from the exercise of stock-based compensation awards both as an operating activity and as a financing activity in its consolidated statement of cash flows.
     Prior to the adoption of FAS 123R, the Company measured compensation expense for its employee stock-based compensation plans using the intrinsic value method prescribed by APB 25. Under APB 25, when the exercise price of the Company’s employee stock options was equal to the market price of the underlying stock on the date of the grant, no compensation expense was recognized. The Company applied the disclosure only provisions of FAS 123 as amended by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation — Transition and Disclosure,” as if the fair-value-based method had been applied in measuring compensation expense.

     The Company has elected to use the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to determine the fair value of stock options. The Black-Scholes model incorporates various assumptions including volatility, expected life, and interest rates. The expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock over the most recent period commensurate with the estimated expected life of the Company’s stock options. The expected life of an award is based on historical experience and the terms and conditions of the stock awards granted to employees. The fair value of options granted in the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 30, 2006 and October 1, 2005 was estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model assuming no dividends and using the following weighted average assumptions:
                                 
    Thirteen Weeks Ended   Thirty-nine Weeks Ended
    September 30,   October 1,   September 30,   October 1,
    2006   2005   2006   2005
Expected life of stock options
  4.0 years     3.5 years     4.0 years     3.5 years  
Risk-free interest rate
    5.13 %     4.18 %     4.70 %     3.70 %
Expected stock volatility
    39.6 %     42.0 %     40.0 %     41.8 %
 
Weighted-average fair value of options granted
  $ 6.99     $ 6.54     $ 7.14     $ 6.03  
Equity Incentive Plan
     As of September 30, 2006, the Company has a single stock incentive plan approved by its stockholders, the 2003 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2003 Plan”), for the granting of stock-based incentive awards including incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units and stock appreciation rights, among others, to key employees and members of the Company’s Board of Directors. Under the 2003 Plan, no employee participant may receive awards in any calendar year that relate to more than 2,000,000 shares, and no more than 8,000,000 shares may be issued in connection with awards relating to restricted stock and restricted stock units. Prior to 2006, the Company’s stock-based incentive awards were primarily in the form of stock options. Beginning in January 2006, the Company reduced the level of grants of stock options compared to previous years and now grants restricted stock and restricted stock units, in addition to stock options, to key employees and members of the Company’s Board of Directors. Options granted generally vest over a period of three years and have expiration dates not longer than 10 years. A portion of the restricted stock and restricted stock units vest over a time period of one to three years. The remainder of the restricted stock and restricted stock units vests upon achievement of certain performance measures based on earnings growth and return on invested capital over a three-year period. As of September 30, 2006, approximately 16,000,000 shares were available for grant under the 2003 Plan.

     In July 2005, the Company acquired certain net assets of AVAD, the leading distributor for solution providers and custom installers serving the home automation and entertainment market in the U.S. This strategic acquisition accelerated the Company’s entry into the adjacent consumer electronics market and improved the Company’s operating margin in its North American operations. AVAD was acquired for a purchase price of $136,438. The purchase agreement also requires the Company to pay the seller earn-out payments of up to $80,000 over the next three years from date of acquisition, if certain performance levels are achieved, and additional payments of up

(Unaudited)
to $100,000 are possible in 2010, if extraordinary performance levels are achieved over a five-year period. Such payment, if any, will be recorded as an adjustment to the purchase price when performance levels are achieved or are deemed probable of being achieved. The purchase price was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on estimated fair values on the transaction date. In December 2005, the Company recorded a payable of $30,000 to the sellers of AVAD for the initial earn-out in accordance with the provisions of the purchase agreement, resulting in an increase of goodwill at December 31, 2005 for the same amount. This amount was paid in March 2006. In addition, for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 30, 2006, the Company made an adjustment to the purchase price allocation associated with the acquisition of AVAD to reduce the value of net assets acquired by $603 to reflect the final fair value assessment, resulting in an increase of goodwill for that same amount.
     In June 2006, the Company acquired the assets of SymTech Nordic AS, the leading Nordic distributor of automatic identification and data capture and point-of-sale technologies to solution providers and system integrators. The purchase price for this acquisition consisted of a cash payment of $3,641, resulting in the recording of $914 of goodwill and $189 of amortizable intangible assets primarily related to customer relationships and non-compete agreements.
     In 2002, the Company acquired a value-add IT distributor in Europe. The purchase agreement required payments of an initial purchase price plus additional cash payments of up to Euro 1,130 for each of the three years after 2002 based on an earn-out formula. In December 2005, the Company recorded an estimated payable of $445 to the sellers for the final earn-out, resulting in an increase of goodwill at December 31, 2005 for the same amount. The final earn-out amount was settled with the payment of $542 to the sellers in April 2006, which resulted in an addition to goodwill of $97 in Europe for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 30, 2006.
     During the thirty-nine weeks ended September 30, 2006, the Company concluded a favorable resolution of certain taxes associated with a previous business combination in Asia-Pacific. As a result, the Company made an adjustment to the purchase price allocation associated with this business combination to reflect a reduction in a tax-related liability that existed at the date of purchase totaling $7,051 and a decrease of goodwill for that same amount.
     During the thirty-nine weeks ended October 1, 2005, the Company made an adjustment to the purchase price allocation associated with the acquisition of a distributor in Asia-Pacific. The adjustment reflected additional liabilities of $4,327 for costs associated with reductions in the distributor’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 addition, the Company acquired the remaining shares held by minority shareholders in two of its subsidiaries in Asia-Pacific. The total purchase price for the acquisition of these remaining interests consisted of cash payments of $596, resulting in the recording of approximately $577 of goodwill in Asia-Pacific for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 1, 2005.
Note 6 – Reorganization, Integration and Major-Program Costs
     In 2005, the Company launched an outsourcing and optimization plan to improve operating efficiencies within its North American region. Total costs of the actions, or major-program costs, incurred for the thirteen weeks ended October 1, 2005 were $5,608 ($21,592 for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 1, 2005), comprised of $1,600 of reorganization costs ($6,910 for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 1, 2005), primarily related to employee termination benefits for workforce reductions for approximately 315 employees (580 employees for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 1, 2005), as well as $4,008 of other costs charged to selling, general and administrative

(“SG&A”) expenses ($14,682 for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 1, 2005), primarily comprised of consulting and retention expenses. The plan, which was substantially completed in 2005, included an outsourcing arrangement that moved 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. As part of the plan, the Company also restructured and consolidated other job functions within the North American region. During the thirteen weeks ended October 1, 2005, the Company also recorded a net credit adjustment through reorganization costs of $891 ($591 for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 1, 2005) primarily related to previous actions for which the Company incurred lower than expected costs to settle lease obligations in North America.
     In November 2004, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of Tech Pacific, one of Asia-Pacific’s largest technology distributors, for cash and the assumption of debt. This acquisition provided the Company with a strong management and employee base, a history of solid operating margins and profitability, and an expanded presence in the growing Asia-Pacific region. Total integration expenses incurred for the thirteen weeks ended October 1, 2005 were $2,512 ($10,055 for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 1, 2005), comprised of $1,286 of reorganization costs ($4,675 for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 1, 2005) primarily for employee termination benefits for workforce reductions for approximately 15 employees (305 employees for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 1, 2005) and lease exit costs for facility consolidations, as well as $1,226 of other costs charged to SG&A expenses ($5,380 for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 1, 2005), primarily comprised of consulting, retention and other costs associated with the integration, as well as incremental depreciation of fixed assets resulting from the reduction in useful lives to coincide with the facility closures. The Company substantially completed the integration of the operations of its pre-existing Asia-Pacific business with Tech Pacific in 2005.
     In addition, in prior periods, the Company implemented other actions designed to improve operating income through reductions of SG&A expenses and enhancements in gross margins. 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.
Reorganization Costs
Three months and nine months ended September 30, 2006
     The credit adjustment to reorganization costs of $1,155 for the thirteen weeks ended September 30, 2006 ($1,704 for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 30, 2006) consisted of $1,138 in North America related to detailed actions taken in prior years for which the Company reversed remaining reserves related to a portion of a restructured leased facility that management elected to reoccupy in the current period, as well as lower than expected costs incurred associated with employee termination benefits and facility consolidations ($1,676 for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 30, 2006); $17 in Asia-Pacific related to a detailed actions taken in prior years for which the Company incurred lower than expected costs associated with a facility consolidation for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 30, 2006; and $11 in Europe related to detailed actions taken in prior years for which the Company incurred lower than expected costs associated with facility consolidations for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 30, 2006.
Actions during the year ended December 31, 2005
     Reorganization costs during fiscal year 2005 consisted of charges relating to the outsourcing and optimization plan in North America and the integration of Tech Pacific in Asia-Pacific. The reorganization costs in North America included employee termination benefits and estimated lease exit costs in connection with closing and consolidating facilities. The reorganization costs in Asia-Pacific included employee termination benefits, estimated lease exit costs in connection with closing and consolidating redundant facilities and other costs primarily due to contract terminations. These restructuring actions are complete; however, future cash outlays will be required in accordance with the underlying terms of the applicable agreements.

     In July 2006, the Company increased its borrowing capacity to $550,000 under its revolving accounts receivable-backed financing program in the U.S., secured by substantially all U.S.-based receivables. The Company also extended the maturity date of the program from March 31, 2008 to July 30, 2010.

Note 8 Segment Information
     The Company operates predominantly in a single industry segment as a distributor of IT products and services. The Company’s operating segments are based on geographic location, and the measure of segment profit is income from operations. The Company does not allocate stock-based compensation recognized under FAS 123R to its operating units; therefore, the Company is reporting this as an amount separate from its geographic segments.
     Geographic areas in which the Company operates during 2006 include North America (United States and Canada), Europe (Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, The Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom), Asia-Pacific (Australia, The People’s Republic of China including Hong Kong, India, Malaysia, New Zealand, Singapore, Sri Lanka, and Thailand), and Latin America (Brazil, Chile, Mexico, and the Company’s Latin American export operations in Miami). Intergeographic sales primarily represent intercompany sales that are accounted for based on established sales prices between the related companies and are eliminated in consolidation.

Note 9 – Commitments and Contingencies
     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 September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, the Company had remaining tax liabilities of $1,421 and $2,503, respectively, related to the gains realized on the sales of SOFTBANK Corp. (“Softbank”) common stock in 2002 and 1999. 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 when it considers it probable that taxes will be due. The Company provided for tax liabilities on this matter based on the level of opinions received from its outside advisors and the Company’s internal assessment. During 2005, the Company settled and paid tax liabilities of $23, $1,441 and $2,779 associated with the gains realized in 2002, 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 these matters on a regular basis, it cannot currently determine when the remaining tax liabilities 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 Company’s federal tax returns for fiscal years 2001 to 2003 are currently being examined by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (“the IRS”). As a large corporate filer, the Company expects its federal tax returns to be subject to recurring review by the IRS.

     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 32.0 million Brazilian reais, including interest and penalties computed through September 30, 2006, or approximately $14,700 at September 30, 2006, alleging these commercial taxes were not properly remitted for the subsidiary’s purchase of imported software during the period January 2002 through September 2002. The Brazilian taxing authorities may make similar claims for periods subsequent to September 2002. Additional assessments for periods subsequent to September 2002, 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 to the assessment of these taxes on the purchase of imported software for the 2002 period at issue or any subsequent period. 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 its consolidated 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. On January 4, 2006, McAfee and the SEC made public the terms of a settlement they had reached with respect to McAfee. The Company continues to cooperate fully with the SEC and the Department of Justice in their inquiries. The Company has 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 their timing, 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 consolidated results of operations or cash flows.
     There are various other 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.
Note 10 – New Accounting Standards
     In September 2006, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108 (“SAB 108”). SAB 108 provides interpretive guidance on how the effects of the carryover or reversal of prior year misstatements should be considered in quantifying a potential current year misstatement. Prior to SAB 108, companies evaluate the materiality of financial statement misstatements using either the income statement or balance sheet approach, with the income statement approach focusing on new misstatements added in the current year, and the balance sheet approach focusing on the cumulative amount of misstatement present in a company’s balance sheet. Misstatements that could be immaterial under one approach could be viewed as material under another approach, and not be corrected. SAB 108 now requires that companies view financial statement misstatements as material if they are material according to either the income statement or balance sheet approach. The Company is required to adopt the provisions of SAB 108 effective December 30, 2006. The Company is currently in the process of assessing what impact SAB 108 may have on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
     In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“FAS 157”). FAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The Company is required to adopt the provisions of FAS 157 in the first quarter of 2008. The Company is currently in the process of assessing what impact FAS 157 may have on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

     In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. The Company is required to adopt the provisions of FIN 48 beginning in the first quarter of 2007. The Company is currently in the process of assessing what impact FIN 48 may have on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
     In March 2006, the Emerging Issues Task Force reached a consensus on Issue No. 06-03 “How Taxes Collected from Customers and Remitted to Government Authorities Should Be Presented in the Income Statement (That Is, Gross versus Net Presentation)” (“EITF No. 06-03”). The Company is required to adopt the provisions of EITF No. 06-03 in the first quarter of 2007. The Company does not expect the provisions of EITF No. 06-03 to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

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; effective income tax rates; capital expenditures; liquidity; capital requirements; acquisitions; contingencies, operating models and exchange rate fluctuations. In evaluating our business, readers should carefully consider the important factors included in Item 1A “Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 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. We have also improved our profitability through our diversification of product offerings, including our entry into adjacent product segments such as the expansion into consumer electronics and automatic identification and data capture markets. 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 provided us with a strong management and employee base, a history of solid operating margins and profitability, and an expanded presence in the growing Asia-Pacific region. Total integration expenses incurred for the thirteen weeks ended October 1, 2005 were $2.5 million ($10.1 million for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 1, 2005), comprised of $1.3 million of reorganization costs ($4.7 million for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 1, 2005) primarily related to employee termination benefits for workforce reductions and lease exit costs for facility consolidations, as well as $1.2 million of other costs charged to selling, general, and administrative expenses, or SG&A expenses ($5.4 million for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 1, 2005), primarily comprised of consulting, retention and other costs associated with the integration, as well as incremental depreciation of fixed assets resulting from the reduction in useful lives to coincide with the facility closures. We substantially completed the integration of the operations of our pre-existing Asia-Pacific business with Tech Pacific in 2005 (see Note 6 to our consolidated financial statements).
     In July 2005, we acquired certain net assets of AVAD, the leading distributor for solution providers and custom installers serving the home automation and entertainment market in the U.S. The custom installer market represents one of the fastest growing and most profitable segments of consumer electronics distribution. To complement this acquisition, we are pursuing new relationships with consumer electronics manufacturers to bring new lines of converging technologies to solution providers, direct marketers, e-tailers and retailers on a global basis. AVAD was acquired for an initial purchase price of $136.4 million. The purchase agreement also requires us to pay the seller earn-out payments of up to $80.0 million over the next three years from date of acquisition, if certain performance levels are achieved, and additional payments of up to $100.0 million are possible in 2010, if extraordinary performance levels are achieved over a five-year period. In December 2005, we recorded a payable of $30.0 million to the sellers of AVAD for the initial earn-out in accordance with the provisions of the purchase agreement. This amount was paid in March 2006. The initial purchase price and earn-out payment were funded through our existing borrowing capacity and cash.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis Continued
     We are constantly seeking ways to improve our operations by enhancing our capabilities while reducing costs to provide an efficient flow of products and services, which may increase our operating expenses in the short-term. For example, in 2005, we launched an outsourcing and optimization plan to improve operating efficiencies within our North American region. Total costs of the actions, or major-program costs, incurred for the thirteen weeks ended October 1, 2005 were $5.6 million ($21.6 million for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 1, 2005), consisting of $1.6 million of reorganization costs ($6.9 million for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 1, 2005), primarily for workforce reductions, as well as $4.0 million of other costs charged to SG&A expenses ($14.7 million for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 1, 2005) primarily for consulting and retention expenses (see Note 6 to our consolidated financial statements). The plan, which was substantially completed in the fourth quarter of 2005, included an outsourcing arrangement that moved 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. As part of the plan, we also restructured and consolidated other job functions within the North American region. For the thirteen weeks ended October 1, 2005, we also recorded a net credit adjustment of $0.9 million ($0.6 million for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 1, 2005) in North America related to previous actions for which we incurred lower than expected costs to settle lease obligations. For the thirteen weeks ended September 30, 2006, we recorded a net credit adjustment of $1.2 million ($1.7 million for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 30, 2006) in North America primarily related to detailed actions taken in prior years for which we reversed remaining reserves related to a portion of a restructured leased facility that we elected to reoccupy in the current period, as well as lower than expected costs incurred associated with employee termination benefits and facility consolidations. For the thirteen weeks ended September 30, 2006, we incurred $3.7 million ($8.1 million for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 30, 2006) in costs related to incremental technology enhancement costs (recorded to SG&A expenses) that we believe will improve our business over the long-term. These costs primarily related to the outsourcing of certain IT application development functions. We also expect to incur approximately $2.5 million in incremental costs for the thirteen weeks ending December 30, 2006, primarily related to this IT outsourcing program, as well as other IT enhancement costs.
     Effective January 1, 2006, we adopted the fair value recognition provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment,” or FAS 123R, using the modified prospective transition method, and therefore have not restated our results of operations for the prior periods. Under this transition method, results for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 30, 2006 include compensation expense for stock-based compensation awards granted prior to, but not yet vested as of December 31, 2005, and for stock-based compensation awards granted after December 31, 2005. FAS 123R eliminates the ability to account for stock-based compensation transactions using the intrinsic value method under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.” We recognize stock-based compensation expense under FAS 123R, net of an estimated forfeiture rate, for those shares which are expected to vest, on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award. For the thirteen weeks ended September 30, 2006, we recorded $6.5 million ($22.2 million for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 30, 2006) of stock-based compensation expense as a result of the adoption of FAS 123R.
Results of Operations
     We do not allocate stock-based compensation recognized under FAS 123R to our operating units; therefore we are reporting this as an amount separate from our geographic segments. The following tables set forth our net sales by geographic region (excluding intercompany sales, which are eliminated in consolidation) and the percentage of total net sales represented thereby, as well as operating income and operating margin by geographic region for each of the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks indicated (in millions).

Results of Operations for the Thirteen Weeks Ended September 30, 2006 Compared to Thirteen Weeks Ended October 1, 2005
     Our consolidated net sales increased 7.9% to $7.51 billion for the thirteen weeks ended September 30, 2006, or third quarter of 2006, from $6.96 billion for the thirteen weeks ended October 1, 2005, or third quarter of 2005. The increase in net sales was primarily attributable to a generally improving demand environment for IT products and services across most economies in which we operate globally. Net sales from our North American operations increased 9.4% to $3.37 billion in the third quarter of 2006 from $3.09 billion in the third quarter of 2005, primarily reflecting improving demand for IT products and services in the region, as well as gains from our growth-enhancement initiatives in the region. Net sales from our European operations increased 3.6% to $2.43 billion in the third quarter of 2006 from $2.34 billion in the third quarter of 2005, primarily due to the translation impact of the stronger European currencies compared to the U.S. dollar, which generated approximately five percentage points of the sales growth in the region. The implementation of a new warehouse management system in Germany also resulted in a temporary reduction in revenues in Europe in the third quarter of 2006 and may also moderately impact our revenue growth in the region in the fourth quarter of 2006 as we work through the transition, which is expected

Net sales from our Asia-Pacific operations increased 12.7% to $1.36 billion in the third quarter of 2006 from $1.21 billion in the third quarter of 2005, primarily reflecting the strong demand for IT products and services in the region, with significant growth in China, Australia and India. Net sales from our Latin American operations increased by 7.8% to $349 million in the third quarter of 2006 from $324 million in the third quarter of 2005, reflecting the strong demand for IT products and services and the strengthening of currencies in certain Latin American markets. We continue to focus on profitable growth in our Asia-Pacific and Latin American regions and, as a result, will continue to make changes to business processes, add or delete products or customers, and implement other changes. As a result, revenue growth rates and profitability in these emerging regions may fluctuate more than in our more mature markets in North America and Europe.
     Gross margin was 5.4% in the third quarter of 2006, slightly down from the gross margin of 5.5% in the third quarter of 2005. This decrease reflects a continuing competitive pricing environment in all markets, partially offset by the results of our ongoing product diversification strategy, particularly in North America, as well as operational improvements in our European, Asia-Pacific and Latin America businesses. 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.
     Total SG&A expenses increased 5.4% to $313.0 million in the third quarter of 2006 from $296.9 million in the third quarter of 2005. The increase in SG&A expenses was primarily attributable to the $6.5 million in stock-based compensation expense resulting from the adoption of FAS 123R in 2006, approximately $4 million resulting from the translation impact of the strengthening European currencies, approximately $3.7 million in incremental technology enhancement costs, primarily related to the outsourcing of certain of our application development functions and increased expenses required to support the growth of our business during the third quarter of 2006. These factors were partially offset by the reduction of major-program and integration costs of $4.0 million related to our 2005 outsourcing and optimization plan in North America and $1.2 million incurred in the third quarter of 2005 for acquisition-related integration costs in Asia-Pacific, as well as savings associated with the implementation of these programs upon their completion, and continued cost control measures. As a percentage of net sales, total SG&A expenses decreased to 4.2% in the third quarter of 2006 compared to 4.3% in the third quarter of 2005 primarily due to economies of scale from a higher level of revenue, the positive impact of continued cost control measures and the reduction of major-program and integration costs in SG&A expenses in the third quarter of 2006, partially offset by the additions of stock-based compensation expense resulting from the adoption of FAS 123R and costs related to the incremental technology enhancements noted above. 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 2006, the credit to reorganization costs was $1.2 million, consisting primarily of an adjustment related to actions taken in prior years for which we reversed remaining reserves related to a portion of a restructured leased facility that we elected to reoccupy in the current period, as well as lower than expected costs associated with employee termination benefits and a facility consolidation in North America. For the third quarter of 2005, we incurred reorganization costs of $2.0 million for detailed actions taken during the quarter, consisting primarily of $1.6 million in North America representing employee termination benefits for approximately 315 employees; and $1.3 million in Asia-Pacific representing $0.6 million of employee termination benefits for approximately 15 employees, $0.6 million for estimated lease exit costs in connection with closing and consolidating redundant facilities and $0.1 million of other costs, primarily due to contract terminations; partially offset by a net credit of $0.9 million for lower than expected facility costs related to detailed actions taken in previous periods primarily in North America.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis Continued
     Income from operations as a percentage of net sales, or operating margin, remained relatively flat at 1.2% in the third quarters of 2006 and 2005, primarily reflecting the increase in net sales and improvements in operating expenses as a percentage of net sales, partially offset by the decrease in gross margin, all of which are discussed above. Our North American operating margin increased to 1.6% in the third quarter of 2006 from 1.4% in the third quarter of 2005, reflecting the economies of scale from the higher volume of business, benefits from our outsourcing and optimization plan, reduction of the related reorganization and major-program costs (approximately 0.2% of North America net sales in the third quarter of 2005) and ongoing cost containment efforts, partially offset by the competitive pressures on pricing. Our European operating margin increased to 1.0% in the third quarter of 2006 from 0.9% in the third quarter of 2005, as a result of the decrease in operating expenses as a percentage of net sales due to ongoing cost containment efforts, partially offset by softer economies in some European markets and recent vendor consolidation efforts, which exerted pressure on gross margin compared to prior year. Our Asia-Pacific operating margin increased to 1.2% in the third quarter of 2006 from 1.1% in the third quarter of 2005, reflecting the economies of scale from the higher volume of business, reduction in the integration costs (approximately 0.2% of Asia-Pacific net sales in the third quarter of 2005) and ongoing cost containment efforts partially offset by competitive pressures on pricing. Our Latin American operating margin remained relatively flat at 1.3% in the third quarters of 2006 and 2005, as we implemented changes in our product mix, particularly in Brazil, and continued to strengthen our business processes in the region. Throughout our global operations, we continue to implement process improvements and other changes to improve profitability over the long-term. As a result, operating margins and/or sales may fluctuate from quarter to quarter.
     Other expense, net, consisted primarily of interest, foreign currency exchange gains and losses and other non-operating gains and losses in both years, as well as a loss on redemption of senior subordinated notes and related termination of interest-rate swap agreements in 2005. The decrease in net other expense to $12.6 million in the third quarter of 2006 compared to $20.7 million in the third quarter of 2005 is primarily due to the loss of $8.4 million on the redemption of the senior subordinated notes and related interest-rate swap agreements in the third quarter of 2005.
     Provision for income taxes was $22.8 million, or an effective tax rate of 28%, in the third quarter of 2006 compared to $13.9 million, or an effective tax rate of 22%, in the third quarter of 2005. The lower effective tax rate in the third quarter of 2005 reflects the cumulative benefit of adjusting our estimated annual effective tax rate to 29% for the year-to-date from the estimated tax rate of 31% used during the first six months of 2005, as well as other benefits primarily related to the implementation of more efficient tax structures. The estimated annual effective tax rate of 28% in 2006 compared to 29% in 2005 primarily reflects our ongoing tax strategies, including tax structure implementations discussed above, as well as the geographic mix of income.
Results of Operations for the Thirty-nine Weeks Ended September 30, 2006 Compared to Thirty-nine Weeks Ended October 1, 2005
     Our consolidated net sales increased 7.9% to $22.50 billion for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 30, 2006, or the first nine months of 2006, from $20.85 billion for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 1, 2005, or the first nine months of 2005. Net sales from our North American operations increased 10.8% to $9.91 billion in the first nine months of 2006 from $8.94 billion in the first nine months of 2005, primarily reflecting improving demand for IT products and services in the region, gains from our growth-enhancement initiatives in the region, as well as the revenue arising from the acquisition of AVAD in July 2005. Net sales from our European operations increased 1.5% to $7.52 billion in the first nine months of 2006 from $7.41 billion in the first nine months of 2005 (the relatively weaker European currencies compared to the U.S. dollar had approximately two-percentage points negative effect on sales growth compared to prior year). Net sales from our Asia-Pacific operations increased 12.4% to $4.04 billion in the first nine months of 2006 from $3.59 billion in the first nine months of 2005. Net sales from our Latin America operations increased 14.8% to $1.04 billion in the first nine months of 2006 from $0.90 billion in the first nine months of 2005 reflecting the region’s increased demand for IT products and services tempered in part by proactive changes in product mix in the third quarter of 2006. The additional 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 2006 and 2005.
     Gross margin declined to 5.3% in the first nine months of 2006 compared to 5.4% in the first nine months of 2005, reflecting the same factors discussed in the third quarters of 2006 and 2005.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis Continued
     Total SG&A expenses increased 4.1% to $923.9 million in the first nine months of 2006 from $887.4 million in the first nine months of 2005. The increase in SG&A expenses was primarily attributable to $22.2 million in stock-based compensation expense resulting from the adoption of FAS 123R, the addition of AVAD, approximately $8.1 million in incremental technology enhancement costs and increased expenses required to support the growth of our business during the first nine months of 2006. These factors were partially offset by the reduction of major-program and integration costs of $14.7 million related to our 2005 outsourcing and optimization plan in North America and $5.4 million incurred in the first nine months of 2005 for acquisition-related integration costs in Asia-Pacific, as well as savings associated with these programs upon their completion, and continued cost control measures. As a percentage of net sales, total SG&A expenses decreased to 4.1% in the first nine months of 2006 compared to 4.2% in the first nine months of 2005 primarily due to economies of scale from a higher level of revenue, the positive impact of continued cost control measures and the reduction of major-program and integration costs in SG&A expenses in the first nine months of 2006, partially offset by the incremental stock-based compensation expense resulting from the adoption of FAS 123R in 2006, the addition of AVAD’s operating expenses, which operates with higher gross margin and higher operating costs compared to our existing business, and costs related to the incremental technology enhancements noted above. 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 2006, the credit to reorganization costs was $1.7 million, consisting primarily of an adjustment related to a prior action for which we reversed remaining reserves related to a portion of a restructured leased facility that we elected to reoccupy in the current period, as well as lower than expected costs associated with employee termination benefits and a facility consolidation in North America. For the first nine months of 2005, we incurred reorganization costs of $11.0 million consisting of a charge of $11.6 million for detailed actions taken during the first nine months of 2005, partially offset by a net credit adjustment of $0.6 million related to previous actions for which we incurred lower than expected costs to settle lease obligations in North America. The reorganization costs of $11.6 million during the first nine months of 2005 consisted of $6.9 million in North America representing employee termination benefits for approximately 580 employees and $4.7 million in Asia-Pacific, representing $3.4 million of employee termination benefits for approximately 305 employees, $1.0 million for estimated lease exit costs in connection with closing and consolidating redundant facilities and $0.3 million of other costs primarily due to contract terminations.
     Operating margin increased to 1.2% in the first nine months of 2006 from 1.1% in the first nine months of 2005. Our North American operating margin increased to 1.6% in the first nine months of 2006 compared to 1.1% in the first nine months of 2005, reflecting the economies of scale from the higher volume of business, benefits from our outsourcing and optimization plan, reduction of the related reorganization and major-program costs (approximately 0.2% of North America net sales in the first nine months of 2005) and ongoing cost containment efforts, partially offset by the ongoing competitive pressures on pricing. Our European operating margin decreased to 1.0% in the first nine months of 2006 compared to 1.2% in the first nine months of 2005, as a result of softer economies in some European markets and vendor consolidation efforts, which exerted pressure on gross margin particularly in the first half of the year, partially offset by operating expenses efficiencies due to ongoing cost containment efforts. Our Asia-Pacific operating margin increased to 1.2% in the first nine months of 2006 compared to 0.9% in the first nine months of 2005, reflecting the economies of scale from the higher volume of business, a reduction in the integration costs in 2006 (approximately 0.3% of Asia-Pacific net sales in the first nine months of 2005) and ongoing cost containment efforts partially offset by competitive pressures on pricing. Our Latin American operating margin increased to 1.7% in the first nine months of 2006 from 1.2% in the first nine months of 2005, reflecting a strong market in the first half of 2006 and continued strengthening of our business processes in the region, offset in part by the impacts of changes in product mix, particularly in Brazil primarily in the third quarter of 2006.
     Other expense, net, consisted primarily of interest, foreign currency exchange gains and losses and other non-operating gains and losses in both years, as well as a loss on redemption of senior subordinated notes and related termination of interest-rate swap agreements in 2005. The decrease in net other expense to $39.1 million in the first nine months of 2006 compared to $49.4 million in the first nine months of 2005 is primarily due to the loss of $8.4 million on the redemption of the senior subordinated notes and related interest-rate swap agreements in the third quarter of 2005.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis Continued
     Provision for income taxes was $67.7 million, or an effective tax rate of 28%, in the first nine months of 2006 compared to $48.5 million, or an effective tax rate of 27%, in the first nine months of 2005 which included a benefit of $2.2 million (approximately 1% of income before income taxes) for the favorable resolution of previously accrued income taxes related to the gains realized on the sale of Softbank common stock (see Note 9 to our consolidated financial statements). The provision for income taxes in the first nine months of 2005 was also positively impacted by the implementation of more efficient tax structures during the period.
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:
  seasonal variations in the demand for our products and services, such as lower demand in Europe during the summer months, worldwide pre-holiday stocking in the retail channel during the September-to-December period and the seasonal increase in demand for our North American fee-based logistics related services in the fourth quarter, which affects our operating expenses and margins;
 
  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 we charge our customers, which in turn may negatively impact our revenues and/or gross margins;
 
  changes in product mix;
 
  currency fluctuations in countries in which we operate;
 
  variations in our levels of 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 impact of acquisitions we may make;
 
  the impact of and possible disruption caused by reorganization actions and efforts to improve our IT capabilities, as well as the related expenses and/or charges;
 
  the loss or consolidation of one or more of our major 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, including changes in legislation or the regulatory environments in which we operate.
     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 accounts receivable-backed financing programs and 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 2006 and 2005.
     Our cash and cash equivalents totaled $535.7 million and $324.5 million at September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively.
     Net cash provided by operating activities was $196.3 million for the first nine months of 2006 compared to $99.7 million for the first nine months of 2005. The net cash provided by operating activities for the first nine months of 2006 principally reflects our improved earnings, as well as reductions in accounts receivable, partially offset by a decrease in accounts payable and an increase in inventory. The reductions in accounts receivable and accounts payable largely reflect the seasonally lower sales in the third quarter of 2006. The slight increase in inventory level largely reflects the anticipation of the increase in sales volume during the fourth quarter. 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.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis Continued
     Net cash used by investing activities was $96.9 million for the first nine months of 2006 compared to $168.5 million for the first nine months of 2005. The net cash used by investing activities for the first nine months of 2006 was primarily due to earn-out payments related to previous acquisitions, including the previously discussed first earn-out payment of $30.0 million for AVAD, the short-term collateral deposits on financing arrangements and capital expenditures, while the amount for the first nine months of 2005 was primarily due to our business acquisitions of $141.2 million (primarily AVAD in North America) and capital expenditures.
     Financing activities provided net cash of $103.8 million for the first nine months of 2006 compared to $122.5 million for the first nine months of 2005. The net cash provided by financing activities for the first nine months of 2006 primarily reflects the net proceeds from our debt facilities and from the exercise of stock options, partially offset by a decrease in our book overdrafts. The net cash provided by financing activities for the first nine months of 2005 primarily reflects the net proceeds from our debt facilities and from the 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.
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 21, 2006, we increased our borrowing capacity to $550 million under our revolving accounts receivable-backed financing program in the U.S., secured by substantially all U.S.-based receivables. We also extended the maturity date of the program from March 31, 2008 to July 30, 2010. At our option, the program may be increased to as much as $650 million at any time prior to the new maturity date. The interest rate on this facility varies dependent on the designated commercial paper rates plus a predetermined margin. At September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, we had borrowings of $384.1 million and $304.3 million, respectively, under this revolving accounts receivable-backed financing program in the U.S.
     We also have a revolving accounts receivable-backed financing program in Canada, which provides for borrowing capacity of up to 150 million Canadian dollars, or approximately $134 million at September 30, 2006. This facility matures on August 31, 2008. The interest rate on this facility is dependent on the designated commercial paper rates plus a predetermined margin at the drawdown date. At September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, we had borrowings of $67.1 million and $38.7 million, respectively, under this revolving accounts receivable-backed financing program.
     We have two revolving accounts receivable-backed financing facilities in Europe, which individually provide for borrowing capacity of up to Euro 107 million, or approximately $136 million, and Euro 230 million, or approximately $292 million, respectively, at September 30, 2006, with a financial institution that has an arrangement with a related issuer of third-party commercial paper. These facilities mature in July 2007 and January 2009, respectively. Both of these European facilities require certain commitment fees and borrowings under both facilities incur financing costs at rates indexed to EURIBOR. At September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, we had no borrowings under these European revolving accounts receivable-backed financing facilities.
     We have a multi-currency revolving accounts receivable-backed financing facility in Asia-Pacific supported by trade accounts receivable, which provides for up to 250 million Australian dollars of borrowing capacity, or approximately $186 million at September 30, 2006, with a financial institution that has an arrangement with a related issuer of third-party commercial paper. This facility 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. At September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, we had borrowings of $93.9 million and $112.6 million, respectively, under this facility.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis Continued
     Our ability to access financing under our North American, European and Asia-Pacific facilities, as discussed above, is dependent upon the level of eligible trade accounts receivable and the level of market demand for commercial paper. At September 30, 2006, our actual aggregate available capacity under these programs was approximately $1.1 billion based on eligible accounts receivable available, of which approximately $545.1 million of such capacity 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 remaining 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 European facility that matures in January 2009 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 have a $175 million revolving senior unsecured credit facility with a bank syndicate that matures in July 2008. The interest rate on the 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 September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, we had no borrowings under this credit facility. This credit facility may also be used to support letters of credit. At September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, letters of credit of $30.8 million and $21.2 million, respectively, were issued to certain vendors and financial institutions to support purchases by our subsidiaries, payment of insurance premiums and flooring arrangements. Our available capacity under the agreement is reduced by the amount of any issued and outstanding letters of credit.
     We have a 100 million Australian dollar, or approximately $75 million at September 30, 2006, senior unsecured credit facility with a bank syndicate that matures in December 2008. The interest rate on this credit facility is based on Australian or New Zealand short-term bank indicator rates, depending on the funding currency, plus a predetermined margin that is based on our debt ratings and our leverage ratio. At September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, we had borrowings of $9.8 million and $14.4 million, respectively, under this credit facility. This credit facility may also be used to support letters of credit. Our available capacity under the agreement is reduced by the amount of any issued and outstanding letters of credit. At September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, no letters of credit were issued.
     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 $655 million at September 30, 2006. Most of these arrangements are on an uncommitted basis and are reviewed periodically for renewal. At September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, we had approximately $152.3 million and $134.8 million, respectively, outstanding under these facilities. Borrowings under certain of these facilities are secured by collateral deposits of $35 million at September 30, 2006, which are included in other current assets. At September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, letters of credit totaling approximately $36.6 million and $53.4 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 6.3% and 6.1% per annum at September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively.
     Off-Balance Sheet Capital Resources
     We have a revolving trade accounts receivable-based factoring facility in Europe, which provides up to approximately $226 million of additional financing capacity. Approximately $114 million of this capacity expires in March 2007 with the balance expiring in December 2007. At September 30, 2006 and December 31, 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 September 30, 2006, our actual aggregate available capacity under this program, based on eligible accounts receivable outstanding, was approximately $182 million.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis Continued
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 September 30, 2006, we were in compliance with all material covenants or other requirements set forth in our financing facilities discussed above.
Other Matters
     See Note 9 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 year 2006.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
     There were no material changes in our quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk for the third quarter ended September 30, 2006 from those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 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 December 31, 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 32.0 million Brazilian reais, including interest and penalties computed through September 30, 2006, or approximately $14.7 million at September 30, 2006, alleging these commercial taxes were not properly remitted for the subsidiary’s purchase of imported software during the period January 2002 through September 2002. The Brazilian taxing authorities may make similar claims for periods subsequent to September 2002. Additional assessments for periods subsequent to September 2002, 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 to the assessment of these taxes on the purchase of imported software for the 2002 period at issue or any subsequent period. 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 consolidated results of operations or cash flows.
     We 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. 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. On January 4, 2006, McAfee and the SEC made public the terms of a settlement they had reached with respect to McAfee. We continue to cooperate fully with the SEC and the Department of Justice in their inquiries. We have 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 their timing, 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 consolidated results of operations or cash flows.
