Table of Contents
In October 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2009-13, which amended the accounting requirements under the Revenue
Recognition Topic, ASC 605-25 Multiple-Element Arrangements. The objective of this update is to address the accounting for multiple-deliverable
arrangements to enable vendors to account for products or services (deliverables) separately rather than as a combined unit. The amendments establish a
hierarchy for determining the selling price of a deliverable and will allow for the separation of products and services in more instances than previously
permitted. The guidance provided within ASU 2009-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010 and allows for either prospective or
retrospective application, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact that adoption of this guidance will have on our consolidated
financial statements.
In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-14 which amended the accounting requirements under the Software Topic, ASC 985-605 Revenue
Recognition. The objective of this update is to address the accounting for revenue arrangements that contain tangible products and software. Specifically,
products that contain software that is "more than incidental" to the product as a whole will be removed from the scope of ASC subtopic 985-605 (previously
AICPA Statement of Position 97-2). The amendments align the accounting for these revenue transaction types with the amendments under ASU 2009-13
mentioned above. The guidance provided within ASU 2009-14 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010 and allows for either
prospective or retrospective application, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact that adoption of this guidance will have on our
consolidated financial statements.
Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Foreign Currency Exchange Risk
The functional currency of our foreign subsidiaries is their local currency. Accordingly, our results of operations and cash flows are subject to
fluctuations due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The volatility of the prices and applicable rates are dependent on many factors that we cannot
forecast with reliable accuracy. In the event our foreign sales and expenses increase, our operating results may be more greatly affected by fluctuations in the
exchange rates of the currencies with which we do business. At this time we do not, but we may in the future, invest in derivatives or other financial
instruments in an attempt to hedge our foreign currency exchange risk.
Interest Rate Sensitivity
Interest income and expense are sensitive to changes in the general level of U.S. interest rates. However, based on the nature and current level of our
marketable securities, which are primarily short-term investment grade and government securities and our notes payable, we believe that there is no material
risk of exposure.
Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data
Our consolidated financial statements, together with the related notes and the report of independent registered public accounting firm, are set forth on the
pages indicated in Item 15.
Item 9. Changes In and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure
None.
