ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS.
None.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES.
Our principal real estate properties are located in areas necessary to meet sales and operating requirements. All of the
properties are considered to be both suitable and adequate to meet current and anticipated operating requirements.
As of March 31, 2007, we leased 98 facilities throughout the United States and 136 facilities outside the United States. Our
lease obligations expire on various dates with the longest commitment extending to 2023. We believe all of our leases will be
renewable at our option as they become due.
In the United States, we own an approximately 100,000 square foot distribution center in Central Islip, New York. We own one
facility in Germany totaling approximately 100,000 square feet, two facilities in Italy which total approximately
140,000 square feet, and an approximately 215,000 square foot European headquarters in the United Kingdom.
We periodically review the benefits of owning our properties. On occasion, we enter into sale-leaseback transactions and use
the proceeds to fund strategic actions such as acquisitions, product development, or stock repurchases. Depending upon the
strategic importance of a particular location and management’s long-term plans, the duration of the initial lease term in sale-
leaseback transactions may vary.
We own and lease various computer, telecommunications, electronic, and transportation equipment. We also lease
mainframe and distributed computers at our facilities in Islandia, New York, and Lisle, Illinois. This equipment is used for
internal product development, technical support efforts, and administrative purposes. We consider our computer and other
equipment to be adequate for our current and anticipated needs. Refer to “Contractual Obligations” under Item 7,
“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” and Note 8, “Commitments
and Contingencies”, in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for information concerning lease obligations.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
Refer to Note 8, “Commitments and Contingencies”, in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for information
regarding legal proceedings.
ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS.
None.
