for excess and obsolete inventories and these reserves are appropriately utilized for liquidation of such inventories,
reflecting our forecasts of future demand and market conditions.
Inventory levels may vary from period to period, due, in part, to the addition of new suppliers or new lines with
current suppliers and strategic purchases of inventory. In addition, payment terms with inventory suppliers may vary
from time to time, and could result in fewer inventories being financed by suppliers and a greater amount of
inventory being financed by our capital.
Trademarks and Service Marks
We own or are the licensee of various trademarks and service marks, including, among others, “Ingram Micro,”
the Ingram Micro logo, “V7” (Video Seven), “VentureTech Network,” “AVAD” and “SymTech.” Certain of these
marks are registered, or are in the process of being registered, in the United States and various other countries. Even
though our marks may not be registered in every country where we conduct business, in many cases we have
acquired rights in those marks because of our continued use of them.
Employees
As of December 30, 2006, we employed approximately 13,700 associates (as measured on a full-time
equivalent basis). Certain of our operations in Europe and Latin America are subject to syndicates, collective
bargaining or similar arrangements. Our success depends on the talent and dedication of our associates, and we
strive to attract, hire, develop, and retain outstanding associates. We have a process for continuously measuring the
status of associate success and responding to associate priorities. We believe that our relationships with our
associates are generally good.
