FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

Certain statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including statements in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in Part I, Item 2 of this report, are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements may include: projections of matters that affect net sales, gross profit, operating expenses, earnings or losses from continuing operations, non-operating income and expenses, net earnings or losses or cash flows, the recoverability of deferred tax assets, the payment of accrued expenses and liabilities and costs or gains that may result from post-closing adjustments pertaining to business acquisitions or dispositions; effects of acquisitions or dispositions and our intentions about additional acquisitions; projections of capital expenditures; our effective tax rate and earnings or losses per share in 2008; hiring plans; plans for future operations; the availability of financing and our needs or plans relating thereto; plans relating to our products and services; the effect of new accounting principles or changes in accounting policies; the effect of guaranty and indemnification obligations and off balance sheet arrangements; the outcome of ongoing tax audits and litigation; statements related to accounting estimates, including estimated stock option and other equity award forfeitures, and deferred compensation cost amortization periods; statements of belief; and statements of assumptions underlying any of the foregoing. Forward-looking statements are identified by such words as “believe,” “anticipate,” “expect,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan,” “project,” “will,” “may” and variations of such words and similar expressions, and are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, some of which cannot be predicted or quantified. Future events and actual results could differ materially from those set forth in, contemplated by, or underlying the forward-looking statements. There can be no assurances that the events discussed in the forward-looking statements will occur, and actual results could differ materially from those suggested by the forward-looking statements. Some of the important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those projected in any forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the following:

	•		changes in the information technology industry and/or the economic environment;
	•		our reliance on partners for product availability, marketing funds, purchasing incentives and competitive products to sell;
	•		disruptions in our information technology systems and voice and data networks, including our system upgrade and the migration of acquired businesses to our information technology systems and voice and data networks;
	•		the integration and operation of acquired businesses, including our ability to achieve expected benefits of the acquisitions;
	•		actions of our competitors, including manufacturers and publishers of products we sell;
	•		the risks associated with international operations;
	•		seasonal changes in demand for sales of software licenses;
	•		increased debt and interest expense and lower availability on our financing facilities and changes in the overall capital markets that could increase our borrowing costs or reduce future availability of financing;
	•		exposure to currency exchange risks and volatility in the U.S. dollar exchange rate;
	•		our dependence on key personnel;
	•		risk that purchased goodwill or intangible assets become impaired;
	•		failure to comply with the terms and conditions of our public sector contracts;
	•		rapid changes in product standards; and
	•		intellectual property infringement claims and challenges to our registered trademarks and trade names.

Additionally, there may be other risks that are otherwise described from time to time in the reports that we file with the SEC. Any forward-looking statements in this report should be considered in light of various important factors, including the risks and uncertainties listed above, as well as others. We assume no obligation to update, and do not intend to update, any forward-looking statements. We do not endorse any projections regarding future performance that may be made by third parties.

1. Basis of Presentation and Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

We are a leading provider of brand-name information technology (“IT”) hardware, software and services to large enterprises, small- to medium-sized businesses (“SMB”) and public sector institutions in North America, Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Asia-Pacific. The Company is organized in the following three operating segments, which are primarily defined by their related geographies:

Operating Segment		Geography
North America		United States and Canada
EMEA		Europe, Middle East and Africa
APAC		Asia-Pacific

Currently, our offerings in North America and the United Kingdom include brand-name IT hardware, software and services. Our offerings in the remainder of our EMEA segment and in APAC currently only include software and select software-related services.

On July 10, 2008, we acquired MINX Limited (“MINX”), a United Kingdom-based networking services company with annual net sales of approximately $25,000,000 for an initial cash purchase price of approximately $1,500,000 and the assumption of approximately $3,900,000 of existing debt. Up to an additional $678,000 may be due if MINX achieves certain performance targets over a one-year period.

On April 1, 2008, we completed the acquisition of Calence, LLC (“Calence”) for a cash purchase price of $125,000,000 plus a preliminary working capital adjustment of $4,032,000, offset by a final post-closing working capital adjustment of $383,000. Up to an additional $35,000,000 of purchase price consideration may be due if Calence achieves certain performance targets over the next four years. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, we accrued an additional $1,755,000 and $2,471,000, respectively, of purchase price consideration as a result of Calence achieving certain performance targets during the respective periods. Such amounts were recorded as additional goodwill (see Note 3). We also assumed Calence’s existing debt totaling approximately $7,300,000, of which $7,100,000 was repaid by us at closing. The Calence acquisition was funded, in part, using borrowings under our senior revolving credit facility.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly our financial position as of September 30, 2008, our results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 and our cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007. The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2007 was derived from the audited consolidated balance sheet at such date. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and consequently do not include all of the disclosures normally required by United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).

The results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year, due in part to the seasonal nature of the business. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements, including the related notes thereto, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007.

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements. Additionally, these estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of net sales and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to allowances for doubtful accounts, write-downs of inventories, litigation-related obligations, valuation allowances for deferred tax assets and impairment of goodwill, intangible assets and other long-lived assets if indicators of potential impairment exist.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
(unaudited)

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Insight Enterprises, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. References to “the Company,” “we,” “us,” “our” and other similar words refer to Insight Enterprises, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries, unless the context suggests otherwise.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Other than the partial adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 157 “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS No. 157”) effective January 1, 2008, as discussed in Note 8, there have been no material changes or additions to the recently issued accounting pronouncements as previously reported in Note 1 to our Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007 which affect or may affect our financial statements.

2. Net Earnings (Loss) from Continuing Operations Per Share (“EPS”)

Basic EPS is computed by dividing net earnings (loss) from continuing operations available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each quarter. Diluted EPS is computed on the basis of the weighted average number of shares of common stock plus the effect of dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method. Dilutive potential common shares include outstanding stock options, restricted stock awards and restricted stock units. A reconciliation of the denominators of the basic and diluted EPS calculations follows (in thousands, except per share data):

		Three Months Ended								Nine Months Ended
		September 30,								September 30,
		2008				2007				2008				2007
Numerator:
Net earnings (loss) from continuing operations		$	6,713			$	9,096			$	(157,044	)		$	48,201
Denominator:
Weighted-average shares used to compute basic EPS			45,569				49,530				46,901				49,213
Dilutive potential common shares due to dilutive options and restricted stock, net of tax effect			150				1,181				—				588
Weighted-average shares used to compute diluted EPS			45,719				50,711				46,901				49,801
Net earnings (loss) from continuing operations per share:

Diluted		$	0.15			$	0.18			$	(3.35	)		$	0.97

No potential common shares were included in the diluted EPS computation for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 because of the net loss from continuing operations in that period, which would result in an antidilutive per share amount. The following weighted-average outstanding stock options were not included in the diluted EPS calculations because the exercise prices of these options were greater than the average market price of our common stock during the respective periods (in thousands):

		Three Months Ended								Nine Months Ended
		September 30,								September 30,
		2008				2007				2008				2007

3. Impairment

Goodwill

SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” requires that goodwill be tested for impairment at the reporting unit level on an annual basis and between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the reporting unit below its carrying value. Multiple valuation techniques can be used to assess the fair value of the reporting unit. All of these techniques include the use of estimates and assumptions that are inherently uncertain. Changes in these estimates and assumptions could materially affect the determination of fair value or goodwill impairment, or both. The Company has three reporting units which are the same as our operating segments. At December 31, 2007, our goodwill balance was $306,742,000 allocated among all three of our operating segments, which represented the purchase price in excess of the net amount assigned to assets acquired and liabilities assumed by Insight in connection with previous acquisitions, adjusted for changes in foreign currency exchange rates. We tested goodwill for impairment during the fourth quarter of 2007. At that time, we concluded that the fair value of each of our reporting units was in excess of the carrying value.

On April 1, 2008, we acquired Calence, which has been integrated into our North America business. Under the purchase method of accounting, the purchase price of $139,639,000 was allocated to the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. The excess purchase price over fair value of net assets acquired of $93,709,000 was recorded as goodwill (see Note 13). The primary driver of the acquisition was to enhance our technical capabilities around networking, advanced communications and managed services and to help accelerate our transformation to a broad-based technology solutions advisor and provider. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, we accrued an additional $1,755,000 and $2,471,000, respectively, of purchase price consideration (the “earnout”) as a result of Calence achieving certain performance targets during the respective periods. Such amounts were recorded as additional goodwill. The Calence acquisition and resulting additional goodwill of $96,180,000, including the earnout amounts, was recorded as part of the North America reporting unit.

In consideration of market conditions and the decline in our overall market capitalization resulting from decreases in the market price of Insight’s publicly traded common stock during the three months ended June 30, 2008, we evaluated whether an event (a “triggering event”) had occurred during the second quarter that would require us to perform an interim period goodwill impairment test in accordance with SFAS No. 142. Subsequent to the first quarter of 2008, the Company experienced a relatively consistent decline in market capitalization due to deteriorating market conditions and a significant decline subsequent to our announcement of preliminary first quarter 2008 results on April 23, 2008. During the first quarter of 2008, the market price of Insight’s publicly traded common stock ranged from a high of $19.00 to a low of $15.49, ending the quarter at $17.50 on March 31, 2008. During the second quarter of 2008, the market price of Insight’s publicly traded common stock ranged from a high of $18.20 to a low of $11.00 on April 24, 2008, when the price dropped by 22.5% and did not return to levels above that single day drop through the end of the quarter. Based on the sustained significant decline in the market price of our common stock during the second quarter of 2008, we concluded that a triggering event had occurred subsequent to March 31, 2008, which would more likely than not reduce the fair value of one or more of our reporting units below its respective carrying value.

As a result, we performed the first step of the two-step goodwill impairment test in the second quarter of 2008 in accordance with SFAS No. 142 and compared the fair values of our reporting units to their carrying values. The fair values of our reporting units were determined using established valuation techniques, specifically the market and income approaches. We determined that the fair value of the North America reporting unit was less than the carrying value of the net assets of the reporting unit, and thus, we performed step two of the impairment test for the North America reporting unit. The results of the first step of the two-step goodwill impairment test indicated that the fair value of each of our EMEA and APAC reporting units was in excess of the carrying value, and thus, we did not perform step two of the impairment test for EMEA or APAC.

In step two of the impairment test, we determined the implied fair value of the goodwill in our North America reporting unit and compared it to the carrying value of the goodwill. We allocated the fair value of the North America reporting unit to all of its assets and liabilities as if the reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination and the fair value of the North America reporting unit was the price paid to acquire the reporting unit. The excess of the fair value of the reporting unit over the amounts assigned to its assets and liabilities is the implied fair value of goodwill. Our step two analysis resulted in no implied fair value of goodwill for the North America reporting unit, and therefore, we recognized a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $313,949,000, $201,167,000 net of taxes, which represented the entire goodwill balance recorded in our North America operating segment as of June 30, 2008, including the entire amount of the goodwill recorded in connection with the Calence acquisition, including the earnout through June 30, 2008. The charge is included in earnings (loss) from continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. This non-cash charge will not affect our debt covenant compliance, cash flows or ongoing results of operations. The goodwill balance in our North America operating segment as of September 30, 2008 represents the earnout accrual for Calence during the third quarter of 2008.

During the three months ended September 30, 2008, our overall market capitalization increased with increases in the market price of Insight’s publicly traded common stock. Subsequent to the announcement of our results of operations for the second quarter of 2008 on August 11, 2008, the Company experienced a relatively consistent increase in market capitalization. During the third quarter of 2008, the market price of Insight’s publicly traded common stock ranged from a low of $10.70 to a high of $17.11, ending the quarter at $13.41 on September 30, 2008. Based on the increase in the market price of our common stock during the third quarter of 2008 as well as the decline in the carrying value due to the write-off of goodwill during the second quarter of 2008, we concluded that a triggering event had not occurred subsequent to June 30, 2008, which would more likely than not reduce the fair value of one or more of our reporting units below its respective carrying value. We will perform our annual review of goodwill in the fourth quarter.

The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 are as follows (in thousands):

		North America				EMEA				APAC				Consolidated
Balance at December 31, 2007		$	219,909			$	68,725			$	18,108			$	306,742
Goodwill recorded in connection with the acquisition of Calence			96,180				—				—				96,180
Goodwill recorded in connection with the acquisition of MINX			—				3,500				—				3,500
Impairment charge			(313,949	)			—				—				(313,949	)
Other adjustments			(385	)			(4,142	)			(1,186	)			(5,713	)
Balance at September 30, 2008		$	1,755			$	68,083			$	16,922			$	86,760

The other adjustments to goodwill primarily consist of foreign currency translation adjustments. During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, the adjustments in EMEA also include the reversal of a valuation allowance of $2,079,000 against our United Kingdom net operating loss carryforward deferred tax asset (see Note 5).

Intangible Assets

Our intangible assets of $100,123,000 at September 30, 2008 consist principally of customer relationships acquired in the September 2006 acquisition of Software Spectrum and identifiable intangible assets acquired in the acquisitions of Calence and MINX of $29,190,000 and $2,874,000, respectively (see Note 13). All of our intangible assets are subject to amortization. In connection with completing our goodwill impairment analysis in the second quarter of 2008, we considered the potential impairment of our other intangibles assets in accordance with SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” as applicable. In accordance with SFAS No. 144, we determined that the carrying amount of our intangible assets was recoverable as the carrying amount of the assets was greater than the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected from the use and disposition of these assets. Accordingly, we concluded that no impairment was indicated.

Other Assets

In connection with completing our goodwill impairment analysis in the second quarter of 2008, we also assessed the current fair values of our other significant assets, primarily property and equipment, including capitalized costs of software developed for internal use, IT equipment and software licenses. In accordance with SFAS No. 144, we determined that the carrying amount of our other long-lived assets was recoverable as the carrying amount of the assets was greater than the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected from the use and disposition of these assets. Accordingly, we concluded that no impairment was indicated.

4. Debt and Inventory Financing Facility

Debt

Our long-term debt consists of the following (in thousands):

		September 30,				December 31,
		2008				2007
Senior revolving credit facility		$	162,653			$	—
Term loan			—				56,250
Accounts receivable securitization financing facility			168,374				146,000
Total			331,027				202,250
Less: current portion			(168,374	)			(15,000	)
Long-term debt		$	162,653			$	187,250

On April 1, 2008, we entered into a new five-year $300,000,000 senior revolving credit facility, which replaced our existing revolving credit facility and our term loan facility. The Calence acquisition was funded, in part, using borrowings under the new facility. Amounts outstanding under the new senior revolving credit facility bear interest, payable quarterly, at a floating rate equal to the prime rate or, at our option, a LIBOR rate plus a pre-determined spread of 0.75% to 1.75%. The weighted average interest rate on amounts outstanding under our senior revolving credit facility was 4.02% during the three months ended September 30, 2008. In addition, we pay a commitment fee on the unused portion of the facility of 0.175% to 0.35%. As of September 30, 2008, $137,087,000 was available under the senior revolving credit facility. The senior revolving credit facility matures on April 1, 2013.

INSIGHT ENTERPRISES, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
(unaudited)

In connection with the new inventory financing facility discussed below, on September 17, 2008, we amended certain provisions in the senior revolving credit facility to, among other provisions, permit up to $100,000,000 in outstanding indebtedness under the new inventory financing facility and the liens securing such indebtedness.

Also on September 17, 2008, we amended certain provisions of our accounts receivable securitization facility, which was to have expired on September 7, 2009, including, among other provisions, (i) a reduction in the facility amount effective December 17, 2008 from $225,000,000 to $150,000,000, (ii) an increase in the permissible delinquency ratio, and (iii) the creation of a new one-year term through September 17, 2009. The weighted average interest rate on amounts outstanding under our accounts receivable securitization facility during the three months ended September 30, 2008 was 3.51%, and no amounts are available at September 30, 2008. Amounts outstanding under the accounts receivable securitization facility at September 30, 2008 are reflected as the current portion of long-term debt in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Our financing facilities contain various covenants. If we fail to comply with these covenants, the lenders would be able to demand payment within a specified period of time. At September 30, 2008, we were in compliance with all such covenants.

Inventory Financing Facility

On September 17, 2008, we entered into an agreement which provides for a new facility to purchase inventory from a list of approved vendors. The aggregate availability for vendor purchases under the inventory financing facility is $90,000,000, and the facility matures on April 1, 2013 but may be cancelled with 90 days notice. Additionally, the facility may be renewed under certain circumstances described in the agreement for successive twelve month periods. Interest does not accrue on accounts payable under this facility provided the accounts payable are paid within stated vendor terms (ranging from 30 to 60 days). If balances are not paid within stated vendor terms, they will accrue interest at prime plus 1.25%. The facility is guaranteed by the Company and each of its material domestic subsidiaries and is secured by a lien on substantially all of the Company’s domestic assets that is of equal priority to the liens securing borrowings under our senior revolving credit facility. The facility replaced an existing agreement that the Company assumed in connection with the acquisition of Calence on April 1, 2008. As of September 30, 2008, $50,228,000 was included in accounts payable related to this facility.

5. Income Taxes

Our effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2008 was 22.2% on $8,625,000 of earnings from continuing operations. Our effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was 36.3% on a $246,669,000 loss from continuing operations. The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2008 differed from the United States federal statutory rate of 35.0% due primarily to the benefit of federal and state research and development credits of $1.1 million recorded during the quarter when the credits were identified and appropriate returns were filed, state income taxes, net of federal tax, and lower taxes on income earned in foreign jurisdictions. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 differed from the United States federal statutory rate of 35.0% due primarily to state income taxes, net of federal tax, and lower taxes on income earned in foreign jurisdictions, offset by the non-deductible portion of the goodwill impairment charge during the nine months ended September 30, 2008.

Our effective tax rate from continuing operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 was 40.6% and 39.1%, respectively. The effective tax rate for both periods was higher than the United States federal statutory rate of 35.0% due primarily to state income taxes, net of federal tax, as well as non-deductible expenses related to executive compensation.

We believe it is more likely than not that forecasted income, including income that may be generated as a result of prudent and feasible tax planning strategies, together with the tax effects of deferred tax liabilities, will be sufficient to fully recover our deferred tax assets. In the future, if we determine that realization of the deferred tax asset is not more likely than not, we will need to increase our valuation allowance and record additional income tax expense. As a result of income generated through June 30, 2008 and near-term income forecasts, during the second quarter of 2008 we determined that we had sufficient positive evidence to recognize our deferred tax asset related to our United Kingdom net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforward. Therefore, the valuation allowance of $2,079,000 against our United Kingdom NOL deferred tax asset was released. Since the NOL related to activity prior to the acquisition of Software Spectrum, the reversal was recorded as a reduction of goodwill (see Note 3) and had no effect on income tax expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2008.

We adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”), on January 1, 2007. The adoption of FIN 48 resulted in no cumulative effect adjustment to our retained earnings. As of September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, we had approximately $4,000,000 and $13,500,000, respectively, of unrecognized tax benefits. Of these amounts, approximately $500,000 and $2,600,000, respectively, relate to accrued interest. During the second quarter of 2008, we reversed approximately $9,700,000 of unrecognized tax benefits upon settlement of an audit. The balance arose from a business combination and upon reversal was recorded as an adjustment to a receivable from the seller with no effect on our effective tax rate.

As of September 30, 2008, if recognized, $2,900,000 of the liability associated with uncertain tax positions would affect our effective tax rate. The remaining $1,100,000 balance arose from business combinations that, if recognized during 2008, would be recorded as an adjustment to goodwill or a receivable with no effect on our effective tax rate. Upon our January 1, 2009 adoption of SFAS No. 141R, “Business Combinations” (“SFAS No. 141R”), changes in deferred tax asset valuation allowances and income tax uncertainties after the acquisition date generally will affect income tax expense, including those associated with acquisitions that closed prior to the effective date of SFAS No. 141R.

Several of our subsidiaries are currently under audit for the 2002 through 2007 tax years. It is reasonably possible that the examination phase of these audits may conclude in the next twelve months, and the related unrecognized tax benefits for uncertain tax positions will decrease. However, based on the status of the examinations, an estimate of the range of reasonably possible outcomes cannot be made at this time.

We, including our subsidiaries, file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, and many state and local and non-U.S. jurisdictions. In the U.S., federal income tax returns for 2004 through 2007 remain open to examination. For U.S. state and local as well as non-U.S. jurisdictions, the statute of limitations generally varies between three and ten years.

6. Severance, Restructuring and Acquisition Integration Activities

Severance Costs Expensed in 2008

During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, North America, EMEA and APAC recorded severance expense totaling $2,290,000, $3,079,000 and $39,000, respectively, related to on-going restructuring efforts to reduce operating expenses related to support and management functions. The following table details the changes in these liabilities during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 (in thousands):

		North America				EMEA				APAC				Consolidated
Severance costs		$	2,290			$	3,079			$	39			$	5,408

All remaining outstanding obligations are expected to be paid during the year ending December 31, 2008 and are therefore included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities.

Severance Costs Expensed in 2007

During the year ended December 31, 2007, North America, EMEA and APAC recorded severance expense of $2,960,000, $177,000 and $64,000, respectively, primarily associated with the retirement of our former chief financial officer. Of the severance amounts expensed in 2007, EMEA paid $177,000 during 2007.

The following table details the changes in these liabilities during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 (in thousands):

Balance at September 30, 2008		$	—			$	—			$	—

Acquisition-Related Costs Capitalized in 2006 as a Cost of Acquisition of Software Spectrum

In 2006, we recorded $9,738,000 of employee termination benefits and $1,676,000 of facility based costs in connection with the integration of Software Spectrum. These costs were accounted for under EITF Issue No. 95-3, “Recognition of Liabilities in Connection with Purchase Business Combinations,” and were based on the integration plans that were committed to by management. Accordingly, these costs were recognized as a liability assumed in the purchase business combination and included in the allocation of the cost to acquire Software Spectrum.

The employee termination benefits relate to severance payments for Software Spectrum teammates in North America and EMEA who have been terminated in connection with integration plans. The facilities based costs relate to future lease payments or lease termination costs associated with vacating certain Software Spectrum facilities in EMEA.

The following table details the changes in these liabilities during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 (in thousands):

		North America				EMEA				Consolidated
Balance at December 31, 2007		$	543			$	4,395			$	4,938

In the accompanying consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2008, $2,038,000 is expected to be paid by September 30, 2009 and is therefore included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities, and $2,300,000 is expected to be paid after September 30, 2009 and is therefore included in other liabilities (long-term).

Restructuring Costs Expensed in 2005

During the year ended December 31, 2005, Insight UK moved into a new facility and recorded facilities-based restructuring costs of $7,458,000.

The following table details the changes in this liability during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 (in thousands):

		EMEA
Balance at December 31, 2007		$	2,425
Adjustments			(81	)
Cash payments			(899	)
Balance at September 30, 2008		$	1,445

The remaining accrual of $1,445,000 is expected to be paid by September 30, 2009 and is therefore included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2008.

7. Stock-Based Compensation

We recorded the following pre-tax amounts, by operating segment, for stock-based compensation related to stock options and restricted stock, as detailed below, in the accompanying consolidated financial statements (in thousands):

Stock Options

For the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, we recorded stock-based compensation expense related to stock options, net of an estimate of forfeitures, of $112,000 and $1,024,000, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, we recorded stock-based compensation expense related to stock options, net of an estimate of forfeitures, of $389,000 and $3,065,000, respectively. As of September 30, 2008, total compensation cost related to nonvested stock options not yet recognized is $832,000, which is expected to be recognized over the next 1.21 years on a weighted-average basis. The following table summarizes our stock option activity during the nine months ended September 30, 2008:

														Weighted
														Average
										Aggregate				Remaining
		Number				Weighted Average				Intrinsic Value				Contractual
		Outstanding				Exercise Price				(in-the-money options)				Life (in years)

Vested and expected to vest			2,588,773				19.48			$	1,508				1.35

The aggregate intrinsic value at the end of period in the preceding table represents the total pre-tax intrinsic value, based on our closing stock price of $13.41 as of September 30, 2008, which would have been received by the option holders had all option holders exercised in-the-money options and sold the underlying shares on that date.

Restricted Stock

For the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, we recorded stock-based compensation expense, net of estimated forfeitures, related to restricted stock shares and RSUs of $1,806,000 and $2,522,000, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, we recorded stock-based compensation expense, net of estimated forfeitures, related to restricted stock shares and RSUs of $7,167,000 and $6,228,000, respectively. As of September 30, 2008, total compensation cost related to nonvested restricted stock shares and RSUs not yet recognized is $18,181,000, which is expected to be recognized over the next 1.24 years on a weighted-average basis.

On January 23, 2008, the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors approved a special long-term incentive award for the Chief Executive Officer, the President of our North America/APAC operating segments and the President of our EMEA operating segment. The approved grant level targets were as follows:

	•		Richard A. Fennessy, President and Chief Executive Officer — 300,000 RSUs;
	•		Mark T. McGrath, President, North America/APAC — 150,000 RSUs; and
	•		Stuart A. Fenton, President, EMEA — 100,000 RSUs.

INSIGHT ENTERPRISES, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
(unaudited)

The plan provides for the award of RSUs that will be issued based upon achievement of specific stock price hurdles within specific timeframes (the 20-day average closing price of Insight stock must be at or above a stock price hurdle and within the defined timeframes for any tranche to be awarded):

	•		20% awarded if stock price hurdle of $25.00 is achieved by February 15, 2009;
	•		30% awarded if stock price hurdle of $30.00 is achieved between February 16, 2009 and February 15, 2010; and
	•		50% awarded if stock price hurdle of $35.00 is achieved between February 16, 2010 and February 15, 2011.

If all or some hurdles are not achieved, 33% of the remaining award (i.e., any shares not issued for achievement of the stock price hurdles set forth above) will be made on February 15, 2013, assuming continued employment. Vesting of the RSUs awarded will occur 50% at the time of the award and 50% on the first anniversary of the award date. If a change in control as defined in the 2007 Omnibus Plan occurs, all units that have been issued by achievement of stock price hurdles will automatically vest, and units that have not been issued will be forfeited. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, we recorded stock-based compensation expense related to these RSUs of $257,000 and $704,000, respectively, which is included in the stock-based compensation expense amounts discussed above. As of September 30, 2008, total compensation cost not yet recognized related to these RSUs was $5,735,000 of the $18,181,000 total discussed above. Such compensation expense is expected to be recognized through February 2014.

The following table summarizes our restricted stock activity, including restricted stock shares and RSUs, during the nine months ended September 30, 2008:

						Weighted Average
		Number				Grant Date Fair Value				Fair Value
Nonvested at the beginning of period			1,108,857			$	20.29
Granted			767,450				12.63
Vested, including shares withheld to cover taxes			(428,389	)			20.36			$	7,627,814	(a)
Forfeited			(141,748	)			19.57
Nonvested at the end of period			1,306,170				15.85			$	17,515,740	(b)
Expected to vest			1,238,712							$	16,611,128	(b)

During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, the restricted stock shares and RSUs that vested for teammates in the United States were net-share settled such that we withheld shares with value equivalent to the teammates’ minimum statutory United States tax obligation for the applicable income and other employment taxes and remitted the cash to the appropriate taxing authorities. The total shares withheld during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 of 117,193 was based on the value of the restricted stock shares or RSUs on their vesting date as determined by our closing stock price on such date. For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, total payments for the employees’ tax obligations to the taxing authorities were $2,097,000 and are reflected as a financing activity within the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. These net-share settlements had the effect of repurchases of common stock as they reduced and retired the number of shares that would have otherwise been issued as a result of the vesting and did not represent an expense to us.

8. Fair Value Measurements

In September 2006, FASB issued SFAS No. 157, which provides guidance for determining fair value to measure assets and liabilities. SFAS No. 157 will apply whenever another standard requires (or permits) assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value. The standard does not expand the use of fair value to any new circumstances. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. On February 12, 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) FAS 157-2, which delays the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually), until fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008 and interim periods within those fiscal years for items within the scope of the FSP. As such, we did not apply the fair value measurement requirements of SFAS No. 157 for nonfinancial assets and liabilities when performing our goodwill and other asset impairment tests as discussed in Note 3.

Our partial adoption of SFAS No. 157 on January 1, 2008, for financial assets and liabilities and for nonfinancial assets or liabilities that are measured on a recurring basis, did not have any effect on our consolidated financial statements. As of September 30, 2008, we have no nonfinancial assets or liabilities that are measured on a recurring basis and our financial assets or liabilities generally consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses and other current liabilities. The estimated fair values of our cash and cash equivalents is determined based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. The fair value of the other financial assets and liabilities is based on the value that would be received or paid in an orderly transaction between market participants and approximates the carrying value due to their nature and short duration.

10. Share Repurchase Program

On November 14, 2007, we announced that our Board of Directors had authorized the purchase of up to $50,000,000 of our common stock through September 30, 2008. During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, we purchased in open market transactions 3,493,500 shares of our common stock at a total cost of approximately $50,000,000 (an average price of $14.31 per share), which completed the program. All shares repurchased were retired as of June 30, 2008.

11. Commitments and Contingencies

Contractual

In July 2007, we signed a statement of work with a third party that was engaged to assist us in a company-wide integration of our hardware, services and software distribution operations into our IT systems. During the quarter ended March 31, 2008, we renegotiated the contract to include a new scope of work, whereby we agreed to engage the third party on current and future IT related projects. As a result of this renegotiation, previously reported commitments as of December 31, 2007 totaling $14,400,000 over the next two years were settled with a $3,100,000 payment made in April 2008, which had been fully accrued as of March 31, 2008. The new commitments approximate $4,000,000 over 18 to 24 months.

In the ordinary course of business, we issue performance bonds to secure our performance under certain contracts or state tax requirements. As of September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, we had approximately $20,184,000 and $794,000, respectively, of performance bonds outstanding. These bonds are issued on our behalf by a surety company on an unsecured basis; however, if the surety company is ever required to pay out under the bonds, we have contractually agreed to reimburse the surety company.

Employment Contracts

We have employment contracts with certain officers and management teammates under which severance payments would become payable and accelerated vesting of stock-based compensation would occur in the event of specified terminations without cause or terminations under certain circumstances after a change in control. If such persons were terminated without cause or under certain circumstances after a change of control, and the severance payments under the current employment agreements were to become payable, the severance payments would generally range from three months of the teammate’s salary up to two times the teammate’s annual salary and bonus.

Guaranties

In the ordinary course of business, we may guarantee the indebtedness of our subsidiaries to vendors and clients. We have not recorded specific liabilities for these guaranties in the consolidated financial statements because we have recorded the underlying liabilities associated with the guaranties. In the event we are required to perform under the related contracts, we believe the cost of such performance would not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Indemnifications

From time to time, in the ordinary course of business, we enter into contractual arrangements under which we agree to indemnify either our clients or third-party service providers from certain losses incurred relating to services performed on our behalf or for losses arising from defined events, which may include litigation or claims relating to past performance. These arrangements include, but are not limited to, the indemnification of our landlords for certain claims arising from our use of leased facilities and the indemnification of the lenders that provide our credit facilities for certain claims arising from their extension of credit to us. Such indemnification obligations may not be subject to maximum loss clauses.

In connection with our sale of Direct Alliance in June 2006 and PC Wholesale in March 2007, the sale agreements contain certain indemnification provisions pursuant to which we are required to indemnify the respective buyer for a limited period of time for liabilities, losses or expenses arising out of breaches of covenants and certain breaches of representations and warranties relating to the condition of the respective business prior to and at the time of sale.

INSIGHT ENTERPRISES, INC.

Management believes that payments, if any, related to these indemnifications are not probable at September 30, 2008 and, if incurred, would not be material. Accordingly, we have not accrued any liabilities related to such indemnifications in our consolidated financial statements.

Legal Proceedings

We are party to various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business, including preference payment claims asserted in client bankruptcy proceedings, claims of alleged infringement of patents, trademarks, copyrights and other intellectual property rights, claims of alleged non-compliance with contract provisions and claims related to alleged violations of laws and regulations.

In accordance with SFAS No. 5, “Accounting for Contingencies” (“SFAS No. 5”), we make a provision for a liability when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. These provisions are reviewed at least quarterly and are adjusted to reflect the effects of negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel and other information and events pertaining to a particular claim. Although litigation is inherently unpredictable, we believe that we have adequate provisions for probable and estimable losses. It is possible, nevertheless, that the results of our operations, our financial position or our cash flows could be materially and adversely affected in any particular period by the resolution of a legal proceeding. Legal expenses related to defense, negotiations, settlements, rulings and advice of outside legal counsel are expensed as incurred.

In October 2006, we received a letter of informal inquiry from the SEC requesting certain documents relating to our historical stock option grants and practices. On August 12, 2008, the staff of the SEC notified the Company that the SEC’s investigation into the Company’s stock option grant practices has been completed and that the staff does not intend to recommend any enforcement action by the SEC against the Company.

Software Spectrum, Inc., as successor to CS&T, is party to litigation brought in the Belgian courts regarding a dispute over the terms of a tender awarded by the Belgian Ministry of Defence (“MOD”) in November 2000. In February 2001, CS&T brought a breach of contract suit against MOD in the Court of First Instance in Brussels and claimed breach of contract damages in the amount of approximately $150,000. MOD counterclaimed against CS&T in the amount of approximately $2,700,000, and CS&T added two European subsidiaries of Microsoft as defendants. We have filed a defense to the counterclaim. The proceedings are currently stayed, and we are in negotiations to settle the dispute with all parties.

On March 10, 2008, TeleTech Holdings, Inc. (“Teletech”) sent us a demand for arbitration pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement (“SPA”) entered into between the parties, whereby TeleTech acquired Direct Alliance Corporation (“DAC”), a former subsidiary of Insight, effective June 30, 2006. TeleTech claims that it is entitled to a $5,000,000 “clawback” under the SPA relating to the non-renewal of an agreement between DAC and one of its clients. We dispute Teletech’s allegations and intend to vigorously defend this matter. In recording the disposition of DAC on June 30, 2006, we deferred $5,000,000 as a contingent gain on sale related to this clawback.

On April 1, 2008, we completed the acquisition of Calence pursuant to an agreement and plan of merger (the “Merger Agreement”), a related support agreement (the “Support Agreement”) and other ancillary agreements. In April 2008, in connection with an investigation being conducted by the United States Department of Justice (the “DOJ”), Calence received a subpoena from the Office of the Inspector General of the Federal Communications Commission (the “FCC”) requesting documents related to the award, by the Universal Service Administration Company (“USAC”), of funds under the E-Rate program to a participating school district. The E-Rate program provides schools and libraries with discounts to obtain affordable telecommunications and internet access. No allegations have been made against Calence, and we are cooperating with the FCC, USAC and the DOJ and are in the process of responding to the subpoena. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement and the Support Agreement, the former owners of Calence have agreed to indemnify us for certain losses and damages that may arise out of or result from this matter, including our fees and expenses for responding to the subpoena.

Management believes that the ultimate outcome of these legal proceedings will not have a material effect on our results of operations.

Contingencies Related to Third-Party Review

From time to time, we are subject to potential claims and assessments from third parties. We are also subject to various governmental, client and vendor audits. We continually assess whether or not such claims have merit and warrant accrual under the “probable and estimable” criteria of SFAS No. 5. Where appropriate, we accrue estimates of anticipated liabilities in the consolidated financial statements. Such estimates are subject to change and may affect our results of operations and our cash flows.

12. Discontinued Operation

On March 1, 2007, we completed the sale of PC Wholesale, a division of our North America operating segment. The net assets sold generated net cash proceeds of $27,731,000, after the resolution of post-closing contingencies. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, the gain on sale of PC Wholesale of $7,937,000, $4,801,000 net of taxes, and PC Wholesale’s earnings during the period of $282,000, $171,000 net of taxes, are classified as net earnings from a discontinued operation. We resolved certain post-closing contingencies and recognized an additional gain on the sale of PC Wholesale of $350,000, $264,000 net of taxes, in the fourth quarter of 2007. This resolution required a cash payment of $900,000 during the first quarter of 2008.

In accordance with SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” (“SFAS No. 144”), we have reported the results of operations of PC Wholesale as a discontinued operation in the consolidated statements of operations for all periods presented. We did not allocate interest or general corporate overhead expense to the discontinued operation.

13. Acquisitions

MINX Limited

On July 10, 2008, we acquired MINX, a United Kingdom-based networking services company with annual net sales of approximately $25,000,000 for an initial cash purchase price of approximately $1,500,000 and the assumption of approximately $3,900,000 of existing debt. Up to an additional $678,000 may be due if MINX achieves certain performance targets over a one-year period. Founded in 2002 and headquartered in Elstree, Hertfordshire, MINX is a European network integrator with Cisco Gold Partner accreditation. We believe this acquisition will significantly enhance our capabilities in the sale, implementation and management of network infrastructure services and solutions in our EMEA operating segment and will compliment our April 1, 2008 acquisition of Calence in our North America operating segment, accelerating Insight’s transformation to a broad-based global technology solutions advisor and provider.

The following table summarizes the purchase price and the estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition (in thousands):

Purchase price paid as:
Cash						$	1,497
Assumed debt							3,895
Acquisition costs							116
Total purchase price							5,508
Fair value of net assets acquired:
Current assets		$	7,740
Identifiable intangible assets — see description below			2,874
Property and equipment			357
Current liabilities			(8,158	)
Other liabilities			(805	)
Total fair value of net assets acquired							2,008
Excess purchase price over fair value of net assets acquired (“goodwill”)						$	3,500

Under the purchase method of accounting, the purchase price as shown in the table above is allocated to the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. The excess purchase price over fair value of net assets acquired was recorded as goodwill. The purchase price was allocated using the information currently available, and we may adjust the purchase price allocation after obtaining more information regarding, among other things, asset valuations, liabilities assumed, restructuring activities and revisions of preliminary estimates. We may accrue additional charges in connection with the acquisition of MINX, but the amounts cannot be reasonably estimated at present.

The estimated values of current assets and liabilities were based upon their historical costs on the date of acquisition due to their short-term nature. Property and equipment were also estimated based upon unamortized costs as they most closely approximated fair value.

Identified intangible assets acquired in the acquisition of MINX totaled approximately $2,874,000 and consist primarily of customer relationships which are being amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated economic life of 8.5 years. Amortization expense recognized for the period from the acquisition date through September 30, 2008 was $123,000. Amortization expense is estimated to be approximately $500,000 per year through 2010.

Goodwill of $3,500,000 represents the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value assigned to tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed from MINX. We have consolidated the results of operations for MINX since its acquisition on July 10, 2008. Our historical results would not have been materially affected by the acquisition of MINX and, accordingly, we have not presented pro forma information as if the acquisition had been completed at the beginning of each period presented in our statements of operations.

Calence, LLC

On April 1, 2008, we completed our acquisition of Calence for a cash purchase price of $125,000,000 plus a preliminary working capital adjustment of $4,032,000, offset by a final post-closing working capital adjustment of $383,000. Up to an additional $35,000,000 of purchase price consideration may be due if Calence achieves certain performance targets over the next four years. Founded in 1993 and headquartered in Tempe, Arizona, Calence is a leading provider of Cisco networking solutions in the United States, with strong regional presence in the Southwest, Northwest and Midwest, as well as New York, North Carolina and Texas. We believe this acquisition significantly enhances Insight’s technical capabilities around networking and communications, as well as managed services and security, accelerating Insight’s transformation to a broad-based technology solutions advisor and provider.

Total fair value of net assets acquired							45,930
Excess purchase price over fair value of net assets acquired (“goodwill”)						$	93,709

Under the purchase method of accounting, the purchase price as shown in the table above is allocated to the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. The excess purchase price over fair value of net assets acquired was recorded as goodwill. The purchase price was allocated using the information currently available, and we may adjust the purchase price allocation after obtaining more information regarding, among other things, asset valuations, liabilities assumed, restructuring activities and revisions of preliminary estimates. We may accrue additional charges in connection with the acquisition of Calence, but the amounts cannot be reasonably estimated at present. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, we accrued an additional $1,755,000 and $2,471,000, respectively, of purchase price consideration as a result of Calence achieving certain performance targets during the respective periods. Such amounts were recorded as additional goodwill (see Note 3).

The estimated values of current assets and liabilities were based upon their historical costs on the date of acquisition due to their short-term nature. Property and equipment were also estimated based upon unamortized costs as they most closely approximated fair value. The estimated value of deferred revenue, of which $3,359,000 is included in current liabilities and $652,000 is included in other liabilities in the table above, was based upon the guidance in EITF 01-03, "Accounting in a Business Combination for Deferred Revenue of an Acquiree,” and was calculated as the estimated cost to fulfill the contractual obligations acquired under various customer contracts plus a fair value profit margin.

Identified intangible assets acquired in the acquisition of Calence totaled $29,190,000 and consist of the following (in thousands):

Customer relationships		$	21,800
Backlog — Managed services			4,500
Backlog — Consulting			2,600
Trade name			150
Non-compete agreements			140

Backlog — Consulting		10 Months
Trade name		10 Months
Non-compete agreements		2 Years

Amortization expense recognized for the period from the acquisition date through September 30, 2008 was $3,173,000. Amortization expense is estimated to be as follows (in thousands):

Years Ending December 31,
2008		$	4,759
2009			3,320
2010			2,993
2011			2,975

2013			2,028

Total estimated amortization expense		$	29,190

Goodwill of $93,709,000 represents the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value assigned to tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed from Calence. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, we accrued an additional $1,755,000 and $2,471,000, respectively, of purchase price consideration as a result of Calence achieving certain performance targets during the respective periods. Such amounts were recorded as additional goodwill. As discussed in Note 3, we recorded a non-cash goodwill impairment charge during the second quarter of 2008 which represented the entire goodwill balance recorded in our North America operating segment, including the entire amount of the goodwill recorded in connection with the Calence acquisition as of June 30, 2008.

14. Segment Information

We operate in three reportable geographic operating segments: North America; EMEA; and APAC. Currently, our offerings in North America and the United Kingdom include brand-name IT hardware, software and services. Our offerings in the remainder of our EMEA segment and in APAC currently only include software and select software-related services.

SFAS No. 131, “Disclosure About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information” (“SFAS No. 131”), requires disclosures of certain information regarding operating segments, products and services, geographic areas of operation and major clients. The method for determining what information to report under SFAS No. 131 is based upon the “management approach,” or the way that management organizes the operating segments within a company, for which separate financial information is evaluated regularly by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources. Our CODM is our Chief Executive Officer.

All intercompany transactions are eliminated upon consolidation, and there are no differences between the accounting policies used to measure profit and loss for our segments and on a consolidated basis. Net sales are defined as net sales to external clients.

A portion of our operating segments’ selling and administrative expenses arise from shared services and infrastructure that we have historically provided to them in order to realize economies of scale and to use resources efficiently. These expenses, collectively identified as corporate charges, include senior management expenses, internal audit, legal, tax, insurance services, treasury and other corporate infrastructure expenses. Charges are allocated to our operating segments, and the allocations have been determined on a basis that we considered to be a reasonable reflection of the utilization of services provided to or benefits received by the operating segments.
