We believe that our existing properties are suitable and generally adequate for our current business; however, future growth may
require that we obtain additional space.
1 In March 2009, we announced our plans to outsource the production of our Bluetooth products in China. As a result, in July
2009, we closed our facility in Suzhou, China, and we are currently marketing the facility and the related land rights for sale and
have entered into a non-binding letter of intent to sell the facility. Our intention is for Bluetooth research and development,
supply chain management as well as sales, marketing and administrative support functions, which are all part of our Asia Pacific
hub, to continue to be led from our Suzhou facility until our Suzhou facility is sold, at which time, our employees will be
relocated to a new nearby location better suited for their continuing responsibilities.
