ADC TELECOMMUNICATIONS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTSUNAUDITED
Note 1: Basis of Presentation
These interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission
(SEC). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. The interim information
furnished in this report reflects all normal recurring adjustments, which are necessary, in the
opinion of our management, for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods. The
operating results for the quarter ended February 2, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the
operating results to be expected for the full fiscal year. These statements should be read in
conjunction with our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended October 31,
2006.
During the third quarter of fiscal 2006, our Board of Directors approved a plan to divest our
professional services business in France (APS France). In accordance with SFAS No. 144
Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, this business was classified as
discontinued operations for all periods presented.
Fiscal Year
Our first three quarters end on the Friday nearest to the end of January, April and July,
respectively, and our fiscal year ends on October 31.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 154,
Accounting Changes and Error Corrections-a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement
No. 3 (SFAS 154). SFAS 154 replaces APB Opinion No. 20, Accounting Changes, and FASB Statement
No. 3, Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements, and changes the requirements
for the accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle. APB Opinion No. 20
previously required that most voluntary changes in an accounting principle be recognized by
including the cumulative effect of changing to the new accounting principle in net income of the
period of the change. SFAS 154 requires retrospective application to prior periods financial
statements of changes in accounting principle applied as if that principle had always been used.
SFAS 154 also requires that a change in depreciation, amortization, or depletion method for
long-lived, non-financial assets be accounted for as a change in accounting estimate effected by a
change in accounting principle. SFAS 154 is effective for changes and error corrections made in
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. We adopted the provisions of SFAS 154 on November
1, 2006. The adoption of SFAS No. 154 will only impact us if there are accounting changes or error
corrections.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
A detailed description of our significant accounting policies can be found in our most recent
Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2006.
Reclassifications
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with current year presentations.
Freight revenues for our Professional Services segment previously were netted with freight costs in
cost of goods sold on our consolidated income statements, but are now included in net sales
consistent with the presentation in our Annual Financial Statements for the fiscal year ended
October 31, 2006. Expenditures for capitalized patents previously were classified in the operating
activities section of our consolidated statements of cash flows, but are now classified as
investing activities consistent with the presentation in our Annual Financial Statements for the
fiscal year ended October 31, 2006. As a result, we reclassified $1.1 million of patent
expenditures out of the operating activities section and into the investing activities section of
the consolidated statements of cash flows for the three months ended January 27, 2006. These
reclassifications had no effect on reported earnings, working capital or shareowners investment.

Warranty
We provide reserves for the estimated cost of product warranties at the time revenue is
recognized. We estimate the costs of our warranty obligations based on our warranty policy or
applicable contractual warranty, our historical experience of known product failure rates, and use
of materials and service delivery costs incurred in correcting product failures. In addition, from
time to time, specific warranty accruals may be made if unforeseen technical problems arise.
The following table provides detail on the activity in the warranty reserve accrual balance as
of February 2, 2007:

Note 2: Share-Based Compensation
Share-based
compensation recognized under SFAS 123(R) Share-Based Payment: An
amendment of FASB Statement No. 123 and 95, for the three months ended February 2,
2007 and January 27, 2006 was $1.9 million and $3.4 million, respectively. This decrease was due to
the full vesting of certain awards during fiscal 2006. The share-based compensation expense is
calculated on a straight-line basis over the vesting periods of the related share-based awards.
Note 3: Discontinued Operations
During the third quarter of fiscal 2006, our Board of Directors approved a plan to divest our
APS France Professional Services business (APS France). On January 12, 2007, we completed the sale of certain assets to a subsidiary
of Groupe Circet, a French company, for a cash price of $0.1 million, a portion of which is held in
escrow for six months. In connection with this transaction, we compensated Groupe Circet for
assuming certain facility and vehicle leases. The APS France business had been included in our
Professional Services segment. We classified this business as a discontinued operation in the
third quarter of fiscal 2006. We recorded a loss on the sale of the business of $22.6 million
during fiscal 2006, which includes a provision for employee severance. During the three months
ended February 2, 2007, we recorded an additional loss of $5.1 million because of working capital
adjustments and additional expenses related to the finalization of the sale. The total
loss on sale was $27.7 million.
The financial results of our APS France business are reported separately as discontinued

Excluded from the dilutive securities described above are employee stock options to acquire
6.9 million and 7.1 million shares for the three months ended February 2, 2007, and January 27,
2006, respectively. These exclusions were made because the exercise prices of these options were
greater than the average market price of our common stock for the period, or because of our net
losses, both of which would have had an anti-dilutive effect.
Warrants to acquire 14.2 million shares issued in connection with our convertible notes were
excluded from the dilutive securities described above for the three months ended February 2, 2007
and January 27, 2006 because the exercise price of these warrants was greater than the average
market price of our common stock.
We are required to use the if-converted method for computing diluted earnings per share with
respect to the shares reserved for issuance upon conversion of the notes. Under this method, we add
back the interest expense on the convertible notes to net income and then divide this amount by
outstanding shares, including all 14.2 million shares that could be issued upon conversion of the
notes. If this calculation results in further dilution of the earnings per share, our diluted
earnings per share will include all 14.2 million shares of common stock reserved for issuance upon
conversion of our convertible notes. If this calculation is anti-dilutive, the net-of-tax interest
expense on the convertible notes is deducted and the 14.2 million shares of common stock reserved
for issuance upon conversion of our convertible notes are excluded. Based upon these calculations,
all shares reserved for issuance upon conversion of our convertible notes were excluded for the
three months ended February 2, 2007 and January 27, 2006 because of their anti-dilutive effect.

Note 7: Goodwill and Intangible Assets
We recorded $238.5 million of goodwill in connection with our acquisitions of the KRONE group
(KRONE) and of Fiber Optic Network Solutions Corp. (FONS). All of the goodwill derived from
these acquisitions has been assigned to our Global Connectivity Solutions segment. Most of this
goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes.
We recorded intangible assets of $78.1 million in connection with the acquisition of KRONE,
consisting primarily of trademarks, technology and a distributor network. We recorded intangible
assets of $83.3 million in connection with the acquisition of FONS, consisting primarily of
customer relationships, existing technology and non-compete agreements. Another $4.7 million
related to patents and a non-compete agreement was recorded in connection with our acquisition of
OpenCell Corp. from Crown Castle International Corp.
Note 8: Income Taxes
Under the liability method of accounting for income taxes, a deferred tax asset represents
future tax benefits to be received when certain expenses and losses previously recognized in the
financial statements become deductible under applicable income tax laws. The realization of a
deferred tax asset is dependent on future taxable income against which these deductions can be
applied. SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, requires that a valuation allowance be
established when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of deferred tax assets will not
be realized. As a result of the cumulative losses we incurred in prior years, we previously
concluded that a nearly full valuation allowance should be recorded. In fiscal 2006, we determined
that our recent experience generating U.S. income, along with our projection of future U.S. income,
constituted significant positive evidence for partial realization of our U.S. deferred tax assets.
Therefore, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006, we released our valuation allowance on $49.0
million of U.S. deferred tax assets which were expected to be realized over the following two-year
period. We plan to maintain net U.S. deferred tax assets on our balance sheet at this amount until
there is sufficient positive evidence that, more likely than not, a benefit will be realized with
respect to a higher level of deferred tax assets.
Our income tax provision for the three months ended February 2, 2007 primarily relates to
foreign income taxes and deferred tax liabilities attributable to U.S. tax amortization of
purchased goodwill from the acquisition of KRONE.
As of February 2, 2007, our net deferred tax assets were $1,021.2 million with a related
valuation allowance of $975.6 million. Most of our deferred tax assets are related to U.S. income
tax net operating losses and are not expected to expire until after fiscal 2021, with the exception
of $222.3 million relating to capital loss carryforwards that can be utilized only against realized
capital gains through fiscal 2009.

Note 9: Comprehensive Income
Comprehensive
income has no impact on our net income (loss) but is reflected in our balance sheet
through adjustments to shareowners investment. Comprehensive income derives from foreign currency
translation adjustments and unrealized gains on available-for-sale securities.

Note 11: Segment and Geographic Information
During the
first quarter of fiscal 2007, we made certain organizational changes
that have
eliminated the use of a management structure based on a business and geographical matrix. Primarily
as a result of these changes, we have changed our reportable segments, as described below. These
changes conform to our current management reporting presentation. We have reclassified prior year
segment disclosures to conform to the new segment presentation.
|
|
|
Our Broadband Infrastructure and Access business segment has been redefined into three
reportable segments Global Connectivity Solutions, Wireless Solutions and Wireline
Solutions. |
|
|
|
|
In the prior periods, our business unit level reports presented results through
contribution margin. Our current reporting presents fully allocated business unit results
through operating income. |
|
|
|
|
We have eliminated reporting at the regional level. |
ADC is organized into operating segments based on product grouping. The reportable segments
are determined in accordance with how our executive managers develop and execute our global
strategies to drive growth and profitability. These strategies include product positioning,
research and development programs, cost management, capacity and capital investments for each of
the reportable segments. Segment performance is evaluated on several factors, including operating
income. Segment operating income excludes restructuring and impairment charges, interest income or
expense, other income or expense and provision for income taxes. Assets are not allocated to the
segments.
Our four reportable business segments are:
|
|
|
Global Connectivity Solutions |
|
|
|
|
Wireless Solutions |
|
|
|
|
Wireline Solutions |
|
|
|
|
Professional Services |
9
Our Global Connectivity Solutions (Connectivity) products connect wireline, wireless, cable,
enterprise and broadcast communications networks over copper (twisted pair), coaxial, fiber-optic
and wireless media. These products provide the physical interconnections between network components
and access points into networks.
Our Wireless Solutions (Wireless) products help improve and extend the coverage and capacity
of wireless communications networks. These products improve signal quality by boosting the uplink
signal of mobile systems to increase receiver performance. These improvements allow mobile
subscribers to place more calls successfully, make longer calls, and successfully complete calls in
an expanded geographic area.
Our Wireline Solutions (Wireline) products enable communications service providers to
deliver high capacity voice and data services over copper or optical facilities in the last
mile/kilometer of communications networks, while integrating functions and capabilities that help
reduce the capital and operating costs of delivering such services.
Our Professional Services business provides integration services for broadband, multiservice
communications over wireline, wireless, cable and enterprise networks. Professional services are
used to plan, deploy and maintain communications networks that deliver Internet, data, video and
voice services.
Our largest customer, Verizon, accounted for 17.4% and 15.0% of our sales in the three months
ended February 2, 2007 and January 27, 2006, respectively. Revenue from Verizon is included in each
of the four reportable segments. The recently completed merger of AT&T, BellSouth and Cingular has
created another large customer for us. For the three months ended February 2, 2007, AT&T, BellSouth
and Cingular (which were combined in the merger) collectively represented approximately 13.9% of
our net sales.
Intersegment sales of $6.0 million and $8.7 million and operating income of $4.0 million and
$5.6 million are eliminated from Professional Services for the three months ended February 2, 2007
and January 27, 2006, respectively. These intersegment sales represent Connectivity, Wireless and
Wireline products sold by Professional Services.

Note 12: Restructuring Charges
During the three months ended February 2, 2007 and January 27, 2006, we incurred restructuring
charges associated with workforce reductions as well as the consolidation of excess facilities. The
restructuring charges resulting from our actions, by category of expenditures, adjusted to exclude
those activities specifically related to discontinued operations, are as follows for the three
months ended February 2, 2007 and January 27, 2006:

Restructuring charges include employee severance and facility consolidation costs resulting
from the closure of leased facilities and other workforce reductions attributable to our efforts to
reduce costs. During the three months ended February 2, 2007, approximately 50 employees in our
Connectivity segment in Mexico were impacted by reduction in force. During the three months ended
January 27, 2006, approximately 50 employees, primarily in our Wireline segment in North Carolina,
were impacted by reduction in force. Although a similar number of employees were impacted by
restructuring during each of these periods, the expense associated with the current year
restructuring is lower because of a lower average severance cost per employee. The costs of these
reductions have been and will be funded through cash from operations.
Facility consolidation and lease termination expenses represent costs associated with our
decision to consolidate and close duplicative or excess manufacturing and office facilities. During
the three months ended February 2, 2007 and January 27, 2006, we incurred charges of $0.4 million
and $0.1 million, respectively, due to our decision to close unproductive and excess facilities and
to the continued softening of real estate markets, which resulted in lower sublease income.

We expect that substantially all of the remaining $10.3 million of cash expenditures relating
to employee severance costs incurred as of February 2, 2007, will be paid by the end of fiscal
2007. Of the $14.2 million to be paid for the consolidation of facilities, we expect that
approximately $4.1 million will be paid by the end of fiscal 2007 and that the balance will be paid
from unrestricted cash over the respective lease terms of the facilities through 2015. Based on our
intention to continue to consolidate and close duplicative or excess manufacturing operations in
order to reduce our cost structure, we may incur additional restructuring charges (both cash and
non-cash) in future periods. These restructuring charges may have a material effect on our
operating results.
In addition to the restructuring accrual described above, we have $1.0 million of assets held
for sale at February 2, 2007. We classified these as other current assets as we expect to sell or
dispose of these assets before the end of fiscal 2007.

Note 14: Commitments and Contingencies
Legal Contingencies: We are a party to various lawsuits, proceedings and claims arising in the
ordinary course of business or otherwise. Many of these disputes may be resolved without formal
litigation. The amount of monetary liability resulting from the ultimate resolution of these
matters cannot be determined at this time. As of February 2, 2007, we had recorded approximately
$5.2 million in loss reserves for certain of these matters. In light of the reserves we have
recorded, at this time we believe the ultimate resolution of these lawsuits, proceedings and claims
will not have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations or financial
condition. Because of the uncertainty inherent in litigation, however, it is possible that
unfavorable resolutions of one or more of these lawsuits, proceedings and claims could exceed the
amount currently reserved and could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of
operations or financial condition.
Income Tax Contingencies: Our effective tax rate is impacted by reserve provisions and changes
to reserves that we consider appropriate. We establish reserves when, despite our belief that our
tax returns reflect the proper treatment of all matters, we believe that the treatment of certain
tax matters is likely to be challenged and that we may not ultimately be successful.
Significant judgment is required to evaluate and adjust the reserves in light of changing
facts and circumstances, such as the progress of a tax audit. Furthermore, a number of years may
lapse before a particular matter for which we have established a reserve is audited and finally
resolved. While it is difficult to predict the final outcome or the timing of resolution of any
particular tax matter, we believe that our reserves reflect the probable outcome of known tax
contingencies.
12
Other Contingencies: As a result of the divestiture discussed in Note 3, we may incur
charges related to obligations retained based on the sale agreement, primarily related to income
tax contingencies. At this time, none of those obligations are probable or estimable.
Change of Control: Our Board of Directors has approved the extension of certain employee
benefits, including salary continuation to key employees, in the event of a change of control of
ADC.
Note 15: Subsequent Event
On January 26, 2007, we entered into an agreement with certain other holders of securities of
BigBand Networks, Inc. to sell our entire interest in BigBand for approximately $58.9 million in
gross proceeds. Our interest in BigBand had been carried at a nominal value. A portion of our
interest was held in the form of a warrant to purchase BigBand shares with an aggregate exercise
price of approximately $1.8 million. On February 16, 2007, we exercised our warrant and completed
the sale of our BigBand stock. This resulted in a gain of approximately $57.1 million.
On March 2, 2007, we entered into an agreement to purchase an additional eleven percent
interest in our Indian subsidiary KRONE Communications Ltd. from Karnataka State
Electronics Development Corporation Limited (KEONICS) for a purchase price of
approximately $1.9 million. The closing of the transaction remains
subject to certain conditions. Following the closing of the transaction we will
hold a 62% equity interest in KRONE Communications, Ltd.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Overview
We are a leading global provider of communications network infrastructure solutions and
services. Our products and services provide connections for communications networks over copper,
fiber, coaxial and wireless media and enable the use of high-speed Internet, data, video and voice
services by residences, businesses and mobile communications subscribers. Our products include
fiber optic, copper and coaxial based frames, cabinets, cables, connectors, cards and other
physical components essential to enable the delivery of communications for wireline, wireless,
cable, and broadcast networks by service providers and enterprises. Our products also include
network access devices such as high-bit-rate digital subscriber line and wireless coverage
solutions. Our products primarily are used in the last mile/kilometer portion of networks. This
network of copper, coaxial cable, fiber lines, wireless facilities and related equipment links
voice, video and data traffic from the end-user of the communications service to the serving office
of our customer. In addition, we provide professional services relating to the design, equipping
and building of networks. The provision of such services also allows us additional opportunities to
sell our hardware products, thereby complementing our hardware business.
Our customers include local and long-distance telephone service providers, private enterprises
that operate their own networks, cable television operators, wireless service providers, new
competitive service providers, broadcasters, governments, system integrators and communications
equipment manufacturers and distributors.
During the first
quarter of fiscal 2007, we made certain organizational changes that
have
eliminated the use of a management structure based on a business and geographical matrix. Primarily
as a result of these changes, we have changed our reportable segments, as described below. These
changes conform to our current management reporting presentation. We have reclassified prior year
segment disclosures to conform to the new segment presentation.
|
|
|
Our Broadband Infrastructure and Access business segment has been redefined into three
reportable segments Global Connectivity Solutions, Wireless Solutions and Wireline
Solutions. |
|
|
|
|
In the prior periods, our business unit level reports presented results through
contribution margin. Our current reporting presents fully allocated business unit results
through operating income. |
|
|
|
|
We have eliminated reporting at the regional level. |
As a result, we offer broadband connectivity products, wireless capacity and coverage
optimization products, wireline access products and professional services to our customers through
the following four reportable business segments:
|
|
|
Connectivity |
|
|
|
|
Wireless |
|
|
|
|
Wireline |
|
|
|
|
Professional Services |
13
Our Connectivity solutions connect wireline, wireless, cable, enterprise and broadcast
communications networks over copper (twisted pair), coaxial, fiber-optic and wireless media. These
products provide the physical interconnections between network components and access points into
networks.
Our Wireless solutions help improve and extend the coverage and capacity of wireless
communications networks. These products improve signal quality by boosting the uplink signal of
mobile systems to increase receiver performance. These improvements allow mobile subscribers to
place more calls successfully, make longer calls, and successfully complete calls in an expanded
geographic area.
Our Wireline solutions enable communications service providers to deliver high capacity voice
and data services over copper or optical facilities in the last mile/kilometer of communications
networks, while integrating functions and capabilities that help reduce the capital and operating
costs of delivering such services.
Our Professional Services business provides integration services for broadband, multiservice
communications over wireline, wireless, cable and enterprise networks. Professional services are
used to plan, deploy and maintain communications networks that deliver Internet, data, video and
voice services.
Marketplace Conditions
Our products and services are deployed primarily by communications service providers and the
owners/operators of private enterprise networks. We believe the communications industry is in the
midst of a multi-year migration to next-generation networks that can deliver broadband services at
low, often flat-rate, prices over any medium anytime and anywhere. We believe this transformation
especially will impact the last mile/kilometer portion of networks where our products and
services primarily are used. It is in this section of networks where bottlenecks in the high-speed
delivery of communications services are most likely to occur.
While factors such as regulatory changes will impact the communications industry
significantly, we believe there are two key elements driving the migration to next-generation
networks:
|
|
|
First, businesses and consumers worldwide increasingly are becoming dependent on
broadband, multi-service communications networks to conduct daily communications tasks.
People and businesses are accessing the Internet and using Web-based software applications
through broadband connections with rising frequency. Further, the growing popularity of
applications such as digital video and audio programs, uploading and downloading content,
podcasting, wireless data and video services, video conferencing from personal computers,
video e-mail, video on demand, interactive entertainment and gaming via the Internet,
distance learning, telemedicine and high-speed imaging is increasing the need for broadband
network infrastructure. |
|
|
|
|
Second, end-users of communications services increasingly expect to do business over a
single network connection at a low price either with service providers or by developing
their own networks that can provide all of their communications needs. Both public networks
operated by communications service providers and private enterprise networks are evolving to
provide combinations of Internet, data, video and voice services that can be offered over
the same high-speed network connection versus individual services being conducted over
separate connections. We believe the competition among service providers to retain new
customers over these more fully integrated networks is causing services to be offered more
frequently at low, flat-rate prices as opposed to prices based on metered usage. |
The evolution to next generation networks that offer services at ever lower prices is
affecting our industry significantly. We believe there are increased opportunities to provide
market infrastructure elements that are designed to allow networks to provide more robust services
and operate more efficiently. In recent years, our industry has experienced modest overall spending
increases and we presently expect this trend to continue. The mix of products on which our
customers spend, however, is shifting towards new initiatives, such as the deployment of
fiber-optic networks beyond the central office of service providers and closer to the ultimate
end-user, as well as to the development of more powerful private enterprise networks. The products
that support these new initiatives often have lower margins than many of our legacy products, such
as our copper connectivity products for central office infrastructure. This in turn has had an
impact on our gross margins. Further, sales of these products are often project-based, causing our
sales to fluctuate from period to period and making the timing of our sales harder to predict.
Overall, we continue to expect our sales to grow over time, primarily as a result of broadband
initiatives as well as enterprise projects. Our ability to take advantage of any spending
increases will depend on the acceptance of such products as our fiber
connectivity for central offices and FTTX, our TrueNet ® and
CopperTentm structured cabling solutions, our Digivance
wireless coverage and our Wi-Fi and WiMAX solutions.
14
In addition, competitive pressures to win and retain customers are causing many of our service
provider customers to consolidate with one another in order to gain greater scale as well as the
ability to offer a wider range of wireline and wireless services. Consolidation results in larger
customers who have increased buying power and fewer competitors. In turn, we expect consolidation
will place pressure on the prices at which we and other vendors can sell products and services. We
also believe that consolidation among our customers is likely to cause short-term spending
deferrals while the combined companies focus on integration activities. Ultimately, the rate at
which our customers respond to each others competitive threats, the buying power they likely are
to gain from consolidation and the products they elect to purchase will impact our sales growth and
profit margins and those of other equipment vendors.
Coupled with the need for revenue growth, we believe we must become more cost efficient in
order to increase profitability on a more consistent basis. We therefore are focusing aggressively
on ways to conduct our operations more efficiently. We remain committed to be a low-cost industry
leader. We presently are implementing the following initiatives as part of an overall project we
call competitive cost transformation:
|
|
|
relocating certain manufacturing, engineering and other operations from higher-cost
geographic areas to lower-cost areas; |
|
|
|
|
redesigning product lines to utilize more common components; |
|
|
|
|
increasing direct material savings from strategic sourcing globally; |
|
|
|
|
sunsetting end of life products; and |
|
|
|
|
improving our order-to-delivery processes. |
Our ability to implement this strategy is subject to numerous risks and uncertainties and we
cannot assure you our efforts with this strategy will be successful.
As has been the case for many years, our business remains dependent largely on sales to
communications service providers and for the three months ended February 2, 2007, our top five
customers in that industry accounted for 38.9% of our revenue. While our entry into enterprise markets in
recent years has mitigated this dependence to some degree, our Professional
Services business recently became more dependent upon a single customer, AT&T, following the merger of
AT&T, BellSouth and Cingular.
To
grow our business further we believe we must continue to invest in research and development
initiatives and to search for appropriate acquisition opportunities. Our internal research and
development efforts are focused on those areas where we believe we are most likely to achieve
success and on projects that we believe directly advance our strategic aims.
This includes a portfolio of projects with varying risk and reward profiles. We seek acquisitions primarily to strengthen our core
product portfolio. Our efforts are focused on opportunities within our existing markets, as well
as in adjacent or related markets that we believe will strengthen our core offerings. In addition,
we are focused on finding acquisitions that may enhance our geographic operations. Because several
of our largest customers are consolidating to gain greater scale and broaden their service
offerings, we also believe it is appropriate for companies in our industry to consolidate in order
to gain greater scale and position themselves to offer a wider array of products. We expect to
fund potential acquisitions with existing cash resources, the issuance of shares of common or
preferred stock, the issuance of debt or equity linked securities or through some combination of
these alternatives. We also will continue to evaluate and monitor our existing business and
product lines for growth and profitability potential. If we believe it necessary, we will
deemphasize or divest product lines and businesses that we no longer believe can advance our
strategic vision.
A more detailed description of the risks to our business can be found in Item 1A of our Annual
Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended October 31, 2006. Updates to these risk factors are found in
Item 1A of this report on Form 10-Q.

Our net sales growth for the three months ended February 2, 2007 compared to the three months
ended January 27, 2006 was driven primarily by sales growth in Connectivity products.
International sales comprised 42.0 % and 42.7% of our net sales for the three months ended February
2, 2007 and January 27, 2006, respectively.
Our Connectivity products net sales growth for the three months ended February 2, 2007 as
compared to the three months ended January 27, 2006 was primarily the result of sales growth in
global fiber and enterprise connectivity solutions. Global fiber connectivity sales were driven by
strong growth in fiber-to-the-X (FTTX) deployments, supplemented by a small increase in
central-office fiber sales. Global enterprise connectivity sales increased as a result of
favorable business infrastructure spending for new buildings and upgrades of existing facilities.
This increase was partially offset by a decline in sales of global copper connectivity solutions as
a result of lower sales of outside plant cabinets in Europe. The lower cabinet sales were partially offset by a small increase in sales of central office copper solutions.
Our Wireless products net sales increased for the three months ended February 2, 2007 as
compared to the three months ended January 27, 2006. This increase was due to new market
penetration associated with our Tower Top products and increased spending by existing customers on
our Digivance coverage and capacity systems.
16
Our Wireline products net sales decreased for the three months ended February 2, 2007 as
compared to the three months ended January 27, 2006. This decrease resulted from a
general industry-wide decline in the market demand for high-bit-rate digital subscriber line
products as carriers undertake product substitution by delivering fiber and Internet Protocol
services closer to end-user premises. We expect this industry-wide trend in market demand to
continue into the future.
Our Professional Services net sales increased for the three months ended February 2, 2007 as
compared to the three months ended January 27, 2006. In the United States, higher sales were primarily due to a customer resuming and expanding its network build programs, partially offset by lower
sales due to merger and integration activity among customers which remains ongoing. Sales fluctuations in Germany primarily were due to
contract timing and changes in network deployment plans with various customers.
Gross Profit
During the three months ended February 2, 2007 and January 27, 2006, our gross profit
percentages were 32.0% and 31.6%, respectively. The mix of products we sell can vary substantially.
As a result, our future gross margin rate is difficult to predict accurately. Gross profits totaled
$95.0 million in the quarter ended February 2, 2007, a 10.2% increase over the quarter ended
January 27, 2006.
The increase in gross profit was related to our Connectivity and Wireless segments. The
increase in our Connectivity segment gross profit is a combination of product mix, cost reductions
and leverage of fixed costs due to higher volume. As described in the net sales section above,
during the three months ended February 2, 2007, we had lower sales of outside plant cabinets in
Europe, which have lower margins than the average of our products, as compared to the three months
ended January 27, 2006. Gross profit also increased in our Wireless segment during the three
months ended February 2, 2007 as compared to the three months ended January 27, 2006, mainly due to
product mix. Our Wireless sales are largely project-based. Therefore, we expect continued
fluctuations in our gross profit percentages as our customers manage their implementation schedules
and purchase products only as project deployments require. These increases in gross profit
partially were offset by lower margins in our Wireline and Professional Services segments as
compared to the three months ended January 27, 2006. The reduction in our Wireline gross profit was
due to a one-time cost adjustment which reduced cost for the three months ended January 27, 2006.
The reduction in gross profit for our Professional Services segment was the result of costs
associated with preparing for increased demand for services from a large customer and for
deployment of future projects.

Total operating expenses for the three months ended February 2, 2007 and January 27, 2006
represented 29.7% and 32.5% of net sales, respectively. As discussed below, operating expenses
include research and development, selling and administration expenses and restructuring charges.
Research and development: Research and development expenses for the three months ended
February 2, 2007 and January 27, 2006 represented 5.8% and 7.0% of net sales, respectively. This
decrease in research and development was partially the result of consolidation of research and development
activities that occurred during fiscal 2006. Given the rapidly changing technological and
competitive environment in the communications equipment industry, continued commitment to product
development efforts will be required for us to remain competitive. Accordingly, we intend to
continue to allocate substantial resources, as a percentage of our net sales, to product
development. Most of our research will be directed towards projects that we believe directly
advance our strategic aims in segments in the marketplace that we believe are most likely to grow.
Selling and administration: The $2.1 million increase in selling and administration expense
was due to increases in compensation and related benefits. In addition, we incurred increased
legal costs associated with actions to protect certain of our intellectual property rights.
Offsetting these increases were decreases in share-based compensation expense and retention
expense. Share-based compensation recognized under SFAS 123(R) for the three months ended February
2, 2007 was $1.9 million compared to $3.4 million for the three months ended January 27, 2006. This
decrease was due to the full vesting of certain awards during fiscal 2006. During the three months
ended January 27, 2006, we also incurred $2.4 million of employee retention expense related to the
FONS acquisition. The last retention payment associated with this acquisition was made in May
2006.
Restructuring charges: Restructuring charges include employee severance and facility
consolidation costs associated with our decisions to consolidate and close duplicative or excess
manufacturing and office facilities. During the three months ended February 2, 2007, approximately
50 employees in our Connectivity segment in Mexico were impacted by reductions in force. During
the three months ended January 27, 2006, approximately 50 employees, primarily in our Wireline segment
in North Carolina, were impacted by reductions in force. Although a similar number of employees
were impacted by restructuring during each of these periods, the expense associated with the
current year restructuring was significantly lower because of a lower average severance cost per
employee.

Income Taxes
Our effective income tax rate from continuing operations for the three months ended February
2, 2007 was 10.5%, reflecting a tax provision of $1.1 million. For the three months ended January
27, 2006, our tax provision was $1.3 million on pretax income from continuing operations of $0.0.
Substantially all of our income tax provision for the three months ended February 2, 2007 and
January 27, 2006 relates to foreign income taxes and deferred tax liabilities attributable to U.S.
tax amortization of purchased goodwill from the acquisition of KRONE. In addition, our effective
income tax rate has been reduced by changes in the valuation allowance recorded for our deferred
tax assets. See Note 8 to the financial statements for a detailed description of the accounting
standards related to our recording of the valuation allowance. Beginning in fiscal 2002, we
discontinued recording income tax benefits in most jurisdictions where we incurred pretax losses
because the deferred tax assets generated by the losses have been offset with a corresponding
increase in the valuation allowance. Likewise, we have not recorded income tax expense in most
jurisdictions where we have pretax income because the deferred tax assets utilized to reduce income
taxes payable have been offset with a corresponding reduction in the valuation allowance. In fiscal
2006, we determined that our recent experience generating U.S. income, along with our projection of
future U.S. income, constituted significant positive evidence for partial realization of our U.S.
deferred tax assets. Therefore, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006, we reduced our valuation
allowance on $49.0 million of U.S. deferred tax assets which were expected to be realized over the
following two-year period. We plan to maintain net U.S. deferred tax assets on our balance sheet at
this amount until there is sufficient positive evidence that, more likely than not, a benefit will
be realized with respect to higher level of U.S. deferred tax assets.
Discontinued Operations
During the third quarter of fiscal 2006, our Board of Directors approved a plan to divest our
APS France business. On January 12, 2007, we completed the sale of certain assets to a subsidiary
of Groupe Circet, a French company, for a cash price of $0.1 million, a portion of which is held in
escrow for six months. In connection with this transaction, we compensated Groupe Circet for
assuming certain facility and vehicle leases. The APS France business had been included in our
Professional Services segment. We classified this business as a discontinued operation in the
third quarter of fiscal 2006. We recorded a loss on the sale of the business of $22.6 million
during fiscal 2006, which includes a provision for employee severance. During the three months
ended February 2, 2007, we recorded an additional loss of $5.1 million because of working capital
adjustments and additional expense related to the finalization of the sale. The total
loss on sale was $27.7 million.
Application of Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
See our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for fiscal 2006 for a discussion of our
critical accounting policies and estimates.
18
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity
Cash and cash equivalents and current available-for-sale securities not subject to
restrictions were $562.0 million at February 2, 2007, an increase of $24.3 million compared to
$537.7 million as of October 31, 2006. We describe the reasons for this increase below under the
caption Operating Activities.
During our second fiscal quarter, we received net cash of approximately $57.1 million related
to the sale of our interest in BigBand. See note 15 for more information.
We invest a large portion of our available cash in highly liquid government securities and
high quality corporate debt securities of varying maturities. Our investment policy is to manage
these assets to preserve principal, maintain adequate liquidity at all times, and maximize returns
subject to investment guidelines we maintain.
Restricted cash balances that are pledged primarily as collateral for letters of credit and
lease obligations affect our liquidity. As of February 2, 2007, we had restricted cash of $12.9
million compared to $14.0 million as of October 31, 2006, a decrease of $1.1 million. Restricted
cash is expected to become available to us upon satisfaction of the obligations pursuant to which
the letters of credit or guarantees were issued. Generally, we are entitled to the interest
earnings on our restricted cash balance and interest earned on restricted cash is included in cash
and cash equivalents.
Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations for the three months
ended February 2, 2007 was $31.4 million. This cash inflow was due to $9.4 million of operating
income, $18.4 million of adjustments to reconcile net income to net cash provided by operating
activities and a $15.6 million decrease in operating assets. These cash inflows were partially
offset by a $12.0 million decrease in operating liabilities. The decrease in operating assets was
related to improved cash collections. The decrease in operating liabilities is related to the
payment of interest on our convertible note. Working capital requirements typically will increase
or decrease with changes in the level of net sales. In addition, the timing of certain accrued
payments will affect the annual cash flow.
Net cash used by operating activities from continuing operations for the three months ended
January 27, 2006 was $11.7 million. This use of cash was primarily due to a $31.5 million decrease
in operating liabilities, offset by $21.9 million of adjustments to reconcile net income to net
cash used by operating activities. The $31.5 million decrease in operating liabilities included
$31.2 million for payment of fiscal year 2005 incentives and the payment of accrued restructuring
costs offset by increases in accounts payable and other current liabilities. Our employee
incentives are accrued throughout the fiscal year, but paid in the first quarter of the subsequent
year.
Investing Activities
Cash used by investing activities from continuing operations was $29.2 million for the three
months ended February 2, 2007, which was largely due to $8.7 million for property and equipment
additions and a $22.0 million net increase in available-for-sale securities. These were offset by a
$1.2 million decrease in restricted cash.
Cash used by investing activities from continuing operations was $6.7 million for the three
months ended January 27, 2006, including $6.2 million for property and equipment additions and a
$2.1 million net increase in available-for-sale securities. These were offset by a $1.5 million
decrease in restricted cash.
Financing Activities
Cash provided by financing activities was $0.1 million for the three months ended February 2,
2007, compared with cash provided by financing activities of $5.9 million for the three months
ended January 27, 2006. This primarily was related to the issuance of common stock for certain
employee benefit plans during the quarter in both years. The decrease from the three months ended
January 27, 2006 was due to a significant reduction in stock option exercises.
19
Unsecured Debt
As of February 2, 2007, we had outstanding $400.0 million of convertible unsecured
subordinated notes, consisting of $200.0 million in 1.0% fixed rate convertible unsecured
subordinated notes maturing on June 15, 2008, and $200.0 million of convertible unsecured
subordinated notes with a variable interest rate and maturing on June 15, 2013. The interest rate
for the variable rate notes is equal to the 6-month LIBOR plus 0.375% and is reset on each
semi-annual interest payment date (June 15 and December 15 of each year beginning on December 15,
2003). The interest rate on the variable rate notes was 5.795% for the six-month period ending
December 15, 2006 and declined to 5.729% for the period December 16, 2006 to June 15, 2007. The
holders of both the fixed and variable rate notes may convert all or some of their notes into
shares of our common stock at any time prior to maturity at a conversion price of $28.091 per
share. We may not redeem the fixed rate notes anytime prior to their maturity date. We may redeem
any or all of the variable rate notes at any time on or after June 23, 2008.
Off-Balance-Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations
We do not have any off-balance-sheet arrangements. There has been no material change in our
contractual obligations out of the ordinary course of our business since the end of fiscal 2006.
See our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2006, for additional
information regarding our contractual obligations.
Working Capital and Liquidity Outlook
Our main source of liquidity continues to be our unrestricted cash resources, which include
existing cash, cash equivalents and available-for-sale securities. We currently anticipate that our
existing cash resources will be sufficient to meet our anticipated needs for working capital and
capital expenditures to execute our near-term business plan. This is based on current business
operations and economic conditions so long as we are able to maintain breakeven or positive cash
flows from operations. We expect that our entire restructuring accrual of $24.5 million as of
February 2, 2007, will be paid from our unrestricted cash as follows:
|
|
|
$10.3 million for employee severance will be paid by the end of fiscal 2007; |
|
|
|
|
$4.1 million for facilities consolidation costs, which relate principally to excess leased
facilities, will be paid in fiscal 2007; and |
|
|
|
|
the remainder of $10.1 million, which also relates to excess leased facilities, will be
paid over the respective lease terms ending through 2015. |
We also believe that our unrestricted cash resources will enable us to pursue strategic
opportunities, including possible product line or business acquisitions. However, if the cost of
one or more acquisition opportunities exceeds our existing cash resources, additional sources may
be required. We do not currently have any committed lines of credit or other available credit
facilities, and it is uncertain whether such facilities could be obtained in sufficient amounts or
on acceptable terms. Any plan to raise additional capital may involve an equity-based or
equity-linked financing, such as another issuance of convertible debt or the issuance of common
stock or preferred stock, which would be dilutive to existing shareowners. If we raise additional
funds by issuing debt, we may be subject to restrictive covenants that could limit our operational
flexibility and higher interest expense could dilute earnings per share.
Our $200.0 million of fixed rate convertible notes mature on June 15, 2008, and the other
$200.0 million of variable rate convertible notes do not mature until June 15, 2013. All
convertible notes have a conversion price of $28.091 per share.
In addition, our deferred tax assets, which are substantially reserved at this time, should
reduce our income tax payable on taxable earnings in future years.
Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward Looking Information
The discussion herein, including, but not limited to, Managements Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations as well as the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated
Financial Statements, contain various forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section
27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended. Forward-looking statements represent our expectations or beliefs concerning
future events, including but not limited to the following: any statements regarding future sales;
profit percentages; earnings per share and other results of operations; expectations or beliefs
regarding the marketplace in which we operate; the sufficiency of our cash balances and cash
generated from operating and financing activities for our future liquidity; capital resource needs,
and the effect of regulatory changes. We caution that
20
any forward-looking statements made by us in this report or in other announcements made by us
are qualified by important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those
in the forward-looking statements. These factors include, without limitation: the demand for
equipment by telecommunication service providers, from which a majority of our sales are derived;
our ability to operate our business to achieve, maintain and grow operating profitability;
macroeconomic factors that influence the demand for telecommunications services and the consequent
demand for communications equipment; consolidation among our customers, competitors or vendors
which could cause disruption in our customer relationships or displacement of us as an equipment
vendor to the surviving entity in a customer consolidation; our ability to keep pace with rapid
technological change in our industry; our ability to make the proper strategic choices with respect
to product line acquisitions or divestitures; our ability to integrate the operations of any
acquired businesses with our own operations; increased competition within our industry and
increased pricing pressure from our customers; our dependence on relatively few customers for a
majority of our sales as well as potential sales growth in market segments we presently feel have
the greatest growth potential; fluctuations in our operating results from quarter-to-quarter, which
are influenced by many factors outside of our control, including variations in demand for
particular products in our portfolio that have varying profit margins; the impact of regulatory
changes on our customers willingness to make capital expenditures for our equipment and services;
financial problems, work interruptions in operations or other difficulties faced by some of our
customers or vendors, which can influence future sales to these customers as well as our ability to
collect amounts due us or obtain necessary materials and components; economic and regulatory
conditions both in the United States and outside of the United States, as a significant portion of
our sales come from non-U.S. jurisdictions; our ability to protect our intellectual property rights
and defend against infringement claims made by other parties; possible limitations on our ability
to raise additional capital if required, either due to unfavorable market conditions or lack of
investor demand; our ability to attract and retain qualified employees in a competitive
environment; potential liabilities that could arise if there are design or manufacturing defects
with respect to any of our products; our ability to obtain raw materials and components and the
prices of those materials and components which could be subject to volatility, and our dependence
on contract manufacturers to make certain of our products; changes in interest rates, foreign
currency exchange rates and equity securities prices, all of which will impact our operating
results; our ability to successfully defend or satisfactorily settle any pending litigation or
litigation that may arise; fluctuations in the telecommunications market and other risks and
uncertainties, including those identified in Item 1A of our
Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year
ended October 31, 2006. Updates to these risk factors are found in Item 1A of this report on Form
10-Q. We disclaim any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements,
whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
As
disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended October 31, 2006, our major
market risk exposure relates to adverse fluctuations in certain commodity prices, interest rates,
security prices and foreign currency exchange rates. We believe our exposure associated with these
market risks has not changed materially since October 31, 2006. We have not acquired any new
derivative financial instruments since October 31, 2006.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
In connection with the restatement of our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended October
31, 2006, and under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our
Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design
and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act)). This evaluation identified a material
weakness in our internal control over financial reporting related to the timing of certain
impairment charges associated with the placement of APS France into discontinued operations.
Specifically, we did not consider the application of EITF 01-5, Application of FASB Statement No.
52 to an Investment Being Evaluated for Impairment That Will Be Disposed Of (EITF 01-5) at the
time of the preparation and review of our third quarter and fiscal year end financial statements
for fiscal 2006. As a result, we did not record in our third quarter of fiscal 2006 an impairment
charge related to the write off of the currency translation adjustment account balance, in
accordance with the requirements of EITF 01-5. This issue came to our attention during the process
of preparing financial statements for our first fiscal quarter of 2007. We now understand these
impairment charges should have been recorded in fiscal 2006 through the application of EITF 01-5.
Solely as a result of this material weakness, we have concluded that our disclosure controls and
procedures were not effective as of our fiscal year ended October 31, 2006, and were not effective
as of our first fiscal quarter ended February 2, 2007.
Management is
taking specific actions to remediate the material weakness related to the identification of accounting
requirements for foreign currency translation adjustments for discontinued operations. These actions include
improved training and education of internal personnel involved in applying generally accepted accounting
principles under similar circumstances and the commitment of additional technical resources to such efforts.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
During the first quarter of fiscal 2007, there was no change in our internal control over
financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that materially affected,
or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent
or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are
subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that
the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
21
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We are a party to various lawsuits, proceedings and claims arising in the ordinary course of
business or otherwise. Many of these disputes may be resolved without formal litigation. The amount
of monetary liability resulting from the ultimate resolution of these matters cannot be determined
at this time. As of February 2, 2007, we had recorded approximately $5.2 million in loss reserves
for certain of these matters. In light of the reserves we have recorded, at this time we believe
the ultimate resolution of these lawsuits, proceedings and claims will not have a material adverse
impact on our business, results of operations or financial condition. Because of the uncertainty
inherent in litigation, however, it is possible that unfavorable resolutions of one or more of
these lawsuits, proceedings and claims could exceed the amount currently reserved and could have a
material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
The discussion of our business and operations should be read together with the risk factors
contained in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2006
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which describe various risks and uncertainties
to which we are or may become subject. These risks and uncertainties have the potential to affect
our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, strategies or prospects in a
material and adverse manner. We are updating the risk factors set forth in our Annual Report on
Form 10-K/A by including the following risk factor:
Our Americas Professional Services Business is exposed to risks associated with a highly
concentrated customer base.
Most of the sales for our Professional Services segment occur within the United States. With the recently consummated
merger of AT&T, BellSouth and Cingular, our Professional Services business in the U.S.
will be heavily dependent upon AT&T. In the event AT&T reduces, delays or cancels orders with us,
we likely will not be able to sell our services to new customers at comparable levels for a
significant period of time. Our sales in the Professional Services business, therefore,
could decline substantially and could have an adverse effect on our revenues and results of
operations.
