Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

September 24, 2005

(In thousands, except share and per share information)

1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the 13- and 39-week periods ended September 24, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2005.

The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 25, 2004 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 25, 2004.

The Company’s fiscal year is based on a 52-53 week period ending on the last Saturday of the calendar year. Therefore the financial results of certain fiscal years, and the associated 14-week quarters, will not be exactly comparable to the prior and subsequent 52-week fiscal years and the associated quarters having only 13 weeks. The quarters ended September 24, 2005 and September 25, 2004 both contain operating results for 13 weeks.

2. Inventories

The components of inventories consist of the following:

	September 24, 2005			December 25, 2004
Raw materials	$	54,116		$	69,036
Work-in-process		32,166			29,959
Finished goods		98,753			67,274
Inventory reserves		(11,837	)		(11,289	)
Inventory, net of reserves	$	173,198		$	154,980

3. Stock Purchase Plan

The Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program on April 21, 2004, authorizing the Company to purchase up to 3.0 million shares of Garmin Ltd.’s common stock as market and business conditions warrant. The share repurchase authorization expires on April 30, 2006. From inception to date, 738,000 shares have been repurchased and retired under this plan as of September 24, 2005. These amounts have been reported as a reduction in additional paid-in capital because companies incorporated in the Cayman Islands are not permitted by law to hold treasury stock.

4. Long Term Debt

Garmin had no long-term debt as of September 24, 2005 or December 25, 2004.

8. Stock Compensation Plans

Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation

At September 24, 2005, the Company has three stock-based employee compensation plans. The Company accounts for those plans under the recognition and measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related Interpretations. Approximately $363,000 of stock-based employee compensation cost is reflected in net income for the 13-weeks and 39-weeks ended September 25, 2004. No stock-based employee compensation cost is reflected in net income for the 13-weeks and 39-weeks ended September 25, 2004, as all awards granted under those plans had a stated price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, to stock-based employee compensation.

2000 Non-employee Directors’ Option Plan

In October 2000, the stockholders adopted a stock option plan for non-employee directors (the Directors Plan) providing for grants of options for up to 50,000 common shares of the Company’s stock. The term of each award is ten years. All awards vest evenly over a three-year period. During 2005, 2004, and 2003, options to purchase 5,500, 6,621, and 3,648 shares, respectively, were granted under this plan.

2000 Equity Incentive Plan

Also in October 2000, the stockholders adopted an equity incentive plan (the Plan) providing for grants of incentive and nonqualified stock options and “other” stock compensation awards to employees of the Company and its subsidiaries, pursuant to which up to 3,500,000 shares of common stock are available for issuance. The stock options generally vest over a period of five years or as otherwise determined by the Board of Directors or the Compensation Committee and generally expire ten years from the date of grant, if not exercised. Option activity under the Plan during the first three quarters of 2005, and full year 2004 is summarized below. There have been no “other” stock compensation awards granted under the Plan.

2005 Equity Incentive Plan

In June 2005, the stockholders adopted an equity incentive plan (the 2005 Plan) providing for grants of incentive and nonqualified stock options and “other” stock compensation awards to employees of the Company and its subsidiaries, pursuant to which up to 5,000,000 shares of common stock are available for issuance. The stock options generally vest over a period of five years or as otherwise determined by the Board of Directors or the Compensation Committee and generally expire ten years from the date of grant, if not exercised. Award activity under the 2005 Plan during the second and third quarter of 2005 is summarized below. The Company awarded certain stock appreciation rights (SAR’s) during the second quarter under the Plan.

A summary of the Company’s stock award activity and related information under the Plan, the 2005 Plan and the Directors’ Plan for the 39-week period ended September 24, 2005 and year ended December 25, 2004 is provided below:

There were 5,000 and 690,329 awards granted during the 13-week periods ended September 24, 2005 and September 25, 2004, respectively.

The weighted-average remaining contract life for options outstanding at September 24, 2005 is 7.66 years. Options outstanding at September 24, 2005 have exercise prices ranging from $14.00 to $56.07. At September 24, 2005, options to purchase 886,939 shares are exercisable.

9. Warranty Reserves

The Company’s products sold are generally covered by a warranty for periods ranging from one to two years. The Company’s estimate of costs to service its warranty obligations are based on historical experience and expectation of future conditions and are recorded as a liability on the balance sheet. The following reconciliation provides an illustration of changes in the aggregate warranty reserve.

	13-Weeks Ended
	September 24, 2005			September 25, 2004
Balance - beginning of the period	$	16,218		$	12,379
Accrual for products sold during the period		3,250			6,084
Expenditures		(2,700	)		(5,028	)
Balance - end of the period	$	16,768		$	13,435
	39-Weeks Ended
	September 24, 2005			September 25, 2004
Balance - beginning of the period	$	15,518		$	8,399
Accrual for products sold during the period		13,879			18,562
Expenditures		(12,629	)		(13,526	)
Balance - end of the period	$	16,768		$	13,435

10. Commitments

Pursuant to certain supply agreements, the Company is contractually committed to make purchases of approximately $194 million over the next 3 years.

11. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment”, which is a revision of SFAS No. 123. SFAS No.123 (R) will be effective for the Company during the first quarter of 2006 and requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values. As permitted by SFAS No. 123, the company currently accounts for share-based payments to employees using APB Opinion No. 25’s intrinsic value method and, as such, generally recognizes no compensation cost for employee stock options at the date of grant. Accordingly, the adoption of SFAS No.123(R)’s fair value method will have an impact on our results of operations consistent with our pro-forma disclosures included in Note 8, although it will have no impact on our overall financial position. The full impact of adoption of SFAS No.123(R) cannot be predicted at this time because it will depend on levels of share-based payments granted in the future. However, had we adopted SFAS No.123(R) in prior periods, the impact of that standard would have approximated the impact of SFAS No.123 as described in the disclosure of pro forma net income and earnings per share as noted above. SFAS No.123(R) also requires the benefits of tax deductions in excess of recognized compensation cost to be reported as a financing cash flow, rather than as an operating cash flow as required under current literature. This requirement will reduce net operating cash flows and increase net financing cash flows in periods after adoption.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The discussion set forth below, as well as other portions of this Quarterly Report, contains statements concerning potential future events. Such forward-looking statements are based upon assumptions by our management, as of the date of this Quarterly Report, including assumptions about risks and uncertainties faced by the Company. Readers can identify these forward-looking statements by their use of such verbs as expects, anticipates, believes or similar verbs or conjugations of such verbs. If any of our assumptions prove incorrect or should unanticipated circumstances arise, our actual results could materially differ from those anticipated by such forward-looking statements. The differences could be caused by a number of factors or combination of factors including, but not limited to, those factors identified in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 25, 2004. This report has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC” or the “Commission”) in Washington, D.C. and can be obtained by contacting the SEC’s public reference operations or obtaining it through the SEC’s web site on the World Wide Web at http://www.sec.gov. Readers are strongly encouraged to consider those factors when evaluating any forward-looking statement concerning the Company. The Company will not update any forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report to reflect future events or developments.

The information contained in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in this Form 10-Q and the audited financial statements and notes thereto in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 25, 2004.

The Company is a leading worldwide provider of navigation, communications and information devices, most of which are enabled by Global Positioning System, or GPS, technology. We operate in two business segments, the consumer and aviation markets. Both of our segments offer products through our network of independent dealers and distributors. However, the nature of products and types of customers for the two segments vary significantly. As such, the segments are managed separately. Our consumer segment includes portable GPS receivers and accessories for marine, recreation, land and automotive use sold primarily to retail outlets. Our aviation products are portable and panel-mount avionics for Visual Flight Rules and Instrument Flight Rules navigation and are sold primarily to retail outlets and certain aircraft manufacturers.

Comparison of 13-Weeks Ended September 24, 2005 and September 25, 2004

Net Sales

	13-weeks ended September 24, 2005				13-weeks ended September 25, 2004				Quarter over Quarter
	Net Sales		% of Revenues		Net Sales		% of Revenues		$ Change		% Change
Consumer	$	190,692	75.9	%	$	145,481	75.1	%	$	45,211	31.1	%
Aviation		60,637	24.1	%		48,135	24.9	%	$	12,502	26.0	%
Total	$	251,329	100.0	%	$	193,616	100.0	%	$	57,713	29.8	%

Increases in consumer sales for the 13-week period ended September 24, 2005 were primarily due a strong response to new automotive product offerings and secondarily to continued demand for recreation and fitness products. Increases in aviation sales were due to revenues from OEM, retrofit panel-mount, and portable products for the 13-week period ended September 24, 2005. Approximately 44% of sales in the third quarter of 2005 were generated from products introduced in the last twelve months.

Total consumer and aviation unit sales increased 31% to 708,000 in the third quarter of 2005 from 540,000 in the same period of 2004. The higher unit sales volume in the third quarter of fiscal 2005 was primarily attributable to the introduction of new products in the prior twelve months, most notably automotive products, as well as strength in our existing product lines.

Gross Profit

	13-weeks ended September 24, 2005				13-weeks ended September 25, 2004				Quarter over Quarter
	Gross Profit		% of Revenues		Gross Profit		% of Revenues		$ Change		% Change

Total	$	129,452	51.5	%	$	111,671	57.7	%	$	17,781	15.9	%

Gross profit compression within the consumer segment in the quarter ended September 24, 2005, when compared to the same quarter in 2004, was driven primarily by automotive product revenues becoming a meaningfully larger portion of the product mix within the segment.

Aviation gross margin improvements were primarily a result of higher-margin products becoming a larger portion of the product mix and reduced G1000 cockpit program costs versus the same quarter of 2004.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

	13-weeks ended September 24, 2005				13-weeks ended September 25, 2004
	Selling, General &				Selling, General &				Quarter over Quarter

Total	$	20,116	8.0	%	$	14,695	7.6	%	$	5,421	36.9	%

The increase in expense was due to ongoing development activities for new products, the addition of 21 new engineering personnel to our staff during the quarter and an increase in engineering program costs during the third quarter of 2005 as a result of our continued emphasis on product innovation. Research and development costs as a percent of revenue increased primarily due to the fact that the growth rate of research and development expenditures for the period (37%) exceeded the growth rate of revenues (30%).

Operating Income

	13-weeks ended September 24, 2005				13-weeks ended September 25, 2004				Quarter over Quarter

Total	$	85,156	33.9	%	$	77,117	39.8	%	$	8,039	10.4	%

Operating income fell as a percent of revenue as a result of products with lower margins becoming a larger portion of the product mix, increased advertising costs, finance, technology, and administrative expenditures, and increased call center costs.

Other Income (Expense)

	13-weeks ended September 24, 2005			13-weeks ended September 25, 2004

The average taxable equivalent interest rate return on invested cash during the third quarter of 2005 was 2.9% compared to 1.6% during the same quarter of 2004.

The $36.4 million currency gain was due to the strengthening of the U.S. Dollar compared to the Taiwan Dollar during the third quarter of fiscal 2005, when the exchange rate increased to 33.19 TD/USD at September 24, 2005 from 31.36 TD/USD at June 25, 2005. The $4.4 million currency gain in the same quarter of 2004 was due to the strengthening of the U.S. Dollar compared to the Taiwan Dollar during the third quarter of fiscal 2004, when the exchange rate increased to 33.99 TD/USD at September 25, 2004 from 33.68 TD/USD at June 26, 2004.

Income Tax Provision

Income tax expense increased by $6.8 million, to $23.6 million, for the 13-week period ended September 24, 2005 from $16.8 million for the 13-week period ended September 25, 2004 due to our higher income before taxes. The effective tax rate was 18.7% in the third quarter of 2005 and 20% in the third quarter of 2004.

Net Income

As a result of the above, net income increased 52.7% for the 13-week period ended September 24, 2005 to $102.5 million compared to $67.1 million for the 13-week period ended September 25, 2004.

Comparison of 39-weeks Ended September 24, 2005 and September 25, 2004

Net Sales

	39-weeks ended September 24, 2005				39-weeks ended September 25, 2004				Period over Period
	Net Sales		% of Revenues		Net Sales		% of Revenues		$ Change		% Change
Consumer	$	538,433	76.0	%	$	417,330	77.1	%	$	121,103	29.0	%
Aviation		170,044	24.0	%		124,271	22.9	%		45,773	36.8	%
Total	$	708,477	100.0	%	$	541,601	100.0	%	$	166,876	30.8	%

Increases in consumer sales dollars for the 39-week period ended September 24, 2005 were primarily due to a strong response to new automotive product offerings during the third quarter and secondarily to continued demand for recreation and fitness products throughout the period. Increases in aviation sales were due to revenues from OEM and retrofit panel-mount products and portable products for the 39-week period ended September 24, 2005. Aviation revenues as a percent of total revenue increased due to the fact that the growth rate of aviation revenues for the period (37%) exceeded the growth rate of the consumer segment (29%).

Total consumer and aviation unit sales increased 26% to 1,999,000 in the first nine months of 2005 from 1,587,000 in the same period of 2004. The higher unit sales volume year to date in fiscal 2005 was primarily attributable to the introduction of new products in the prior twelve months, as well as strength in our existing product lines. Unit growth occurred in both consumer and aviation segments.

Gross Profit

	39-weeks ended September 24, 2005				39-weeks ended September 25, 2004				Period over Period

Total	$	372,631	52.6	%	$	290,441	53.6	%	$	82,190	28.3	%

Gross profit declines within the consumer segment in the period ended September 24, 2005, when compared to the same quarter in 2004, were driven primarily by automotive product sales becoming a larger part of the mix within the segment.

Aviation gross margin improvements were primarily a result of products with higher margins becoming a higher portion of the product mix and reduced G1000 cockpit program costs versus the same period of 2004.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

The increase in expense was driven primarily by increased advertising costs ($12.2 million), certain operating taxes ($3.8 million), legal and accounting fees ($2.2 million), increased call center expense ($1.1 million) and other administrative expenses ($2.5 million).

Research and Development Expense

	39-weeks ended September 24, 2005				39-weeks ended September 25, 2004
	Research & Development		% of Revenues		Research & Development		% of Revenues		Period over Period

Total	$	54,862	7.7	%	$	43,625	8.1	%	$	11,237	25.8	%

The increase in expense was due to ongoing development activities for new products, the addition of 95 new engineering personnel to our staff year to date, and an increase in engineering program costs year to date in 2005 as a result of our continued emphasis on product innovation. Research and development costs as a percent of revenue declined primarily due to the fact that the growth rate of revenues for the period (31%) exceeded the growth rate of research and development expenditures (26%).

Operating Income

	39-weeks ended September 24, 2005				39-weeks ended September 25, 2004				Period over Period

Total	$	239,979	33.9	%	$	190,914	35.2	%	$	49,065	25.7	%

Operating income fell as a percent of revenue as a result of product mix shift towards a higher percentage of revenue from automotive products with lower margins, as well as increased research and development costs, increased advertising and marketing costs, certain operating taxes, legal and accounting fees, and increased call center costs.

Other Income (Expense)

	39-weeks ended September 24, 2005			39-weeks ended September 25, 2004

The average taxable equivalent interest rate return on invested cash during the 39-week period ending September 24, 2005 was 2.8% compared to 1.4% during the same period of 2004.

The $23.8 million currency gain was due to the strengthening of the U.S. Dollar compared to the Taiwan Dollar during the 39-week period ending September 24, 2005, when the exchange rate increased to 33.19 TD/USD at September 24, 2005 from 32.19 TD/USD at December 25, 2004. The $0.5 million currency gain in the same period of 2004 was due to the strengthening of the U.S. Dollar compared to the Taiwan Dollar during the 39-weeks ending September 25, 2004, when the exchange rate decreased to 33.99 TD/USD at September 25, 2004 from 34.05 TD/USD at December 27, 2003.

20

Income Tax Provision

Income tax expense increased by $13.4 million, to $52.9 million, for the 39-week period ended September 24, 2005 from $39.5 million for the 39-week period ended September 25, 2004 due to our higher income before taxes. The effective tax rate fell to 19.1% from 20.0% due to incremental tax holidays applied for in Taiwan during 2004 and year to date in 2005.

Net Income

As a result of the above, net income increased 41.7% for the 39-week period ended September 24, 2005 to $224.1 million compared to $158.1 million for the 39-week period ended September 25, 2004.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net cash generated by operating activities was $175.3 million for the 39-week period ended September 24, 2005 compared to $179.4 million for the 39-week period ended September 25, 2004. We attempt to carry sufficient inventory levels of finished goods and key components so that potential supplier shortages have as minimal an impact as possible on our ability to deliver our finished products. We experienced an $18.2 million year-to-date increase in net inventories in this 39-week period of 2005 in order to support the many new products slated for late 2005/early 2006 and meet demand for our products. Accounts receivable increased $41.7 million, net of bad debts during 2005 due to shipment of new products into the retail channel, resulting in the higher receivables balance at the end of the period.

Cash flow from investing activities during the 39-week period ending September 24, 2005 was a $71.0 million use of cash. Cash flow used in investing activities principally related to $20.5 million in capital expenditures primarily related to business operation and maintenance activities, the net purchase of $50.1 million of fixed income securities associated with the investment of our on-hand cash balances, and the purchase of intangible assets (license fees) of $0.4 million as a result of long-term agreements with key suppliers to achieve favorable pricing. It is management’s goal to invest the on-hand cash consistent with the Company’s investment policy, which has been approved by the Board of Directors. The investment policy’s primary purpose is to preserve capital, maintain an acceptable degree of liquidity, and maximize yield within the constraint of maximum safety. The Company’s average taxable equivalent return on its investments during the period was approximately 2.8%.

Cash flow from financing activities during the period was a $22.4 million use of cash, which represents a use of cash for share repurchase of $26.7 million and a source of cash resulting from the issuance of common stock related to our Company stock option plan of $4.2 million.

We currently use cash flow from operations to fund our capital expenditures and to support our working capital requirements. We expect that future cash requirements will principally be for capital expenditures, working capital requirements, repurchase of shares, and payment of dividends declared.

We believe that our existing cash balances and cash flow from operations will be sufficient to meet our projected capital expenditures, working capital, repurchase of shares, and other cash requirements at least through the end of fiscal 2005.

Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments

Pursuant to certain supply agreements, the Company is contractually committed to make purchases of approximately $194 million over the next 3 years.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Market Sensitivity

We have market risk primarily in connection with the pricing of our products and services and the purchase of raw materials. Product pricing and raw material costs are both significantly influenced by semiconductor market conditions. Historically, during cyclical economic downturns, we have been able to offset pricing declines for our products through a combination of introducing new products with higher margins and success in obtaining price reductions in raw material costs. In recent quarters we have experienced an increase in raw materials costs and an increase in the sale of lower-margin products as a part of the product mix, resulting in reduced gross margins.

Inflation

We do not believe that inflation has had a material effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. If our costs were to become subject to significant inflationary pressures, we may not be able to fully offset such higher costs through price increases. Our inability or failure to do so could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

The operation of the Company’s subsidiaries in international markets results in exposure to movements in currency exchange rates. The potential of volatile foreign exchange rate fluctuations in the future could have a significant effect on our results of operations.

The principal currency involved is the Taiwan Dollar. Garmin Corporation, located in Shijr, Taiwan, uses the local currency as its functional currency. The Company translates all assets and liabilities at year-end exchange rates and income and expense accounts at average rates during the year. In order to minimize the effect of the currency exchange fluctuations on our operations, we have elected to retain most of our cash at our Taiwan subsidiary in U.S. dollars. As discussed above, the exchange rate increased 5.8% during the first nine months of 2005 and resulted in a foreign currency gain of $23.8 million. If the exchange rate decreased by a similar percentage, a comparable foreign currency loss would be recognized.

Interest Rate Risk

As of September 24, 2005, we have minimal interest rate risk as we have no outstanding long term debt and we intend to hold marketable securities until they mature.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. The Company maintains a system of disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information, which is required to be timely disclosed, is accumulated and communicated to management in a timely fashion. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. As of September 24, 2005, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded as of September 24, 2005 that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective such that the information relating to the Company, required to be disclosed in our Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) reports (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

(b) Changes in internal control over financial reporting. There has been no change in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the Company’s fiscal quarter ended September 24, 2005 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Part II – Other Information

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

Encyclopedia Britannica, Inc. v. Alpine Electronics of America, Inc., Alpine Electronics, Inc., Denso Corporation, Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc., American Honda Motor Co., Inc., and Garmin International, Inc. On May 16, 2005, Encyclopedia Britannica, Inc. filed suit in the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas, Austin Division, against the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary Garmin International, Inc. (“Garmin International”) and five other unrelated companies, alleging infringement of U.S. Patent No. 5,241,671. Garmin International has filed responsive pleadings and the parties have agreed to stay discovery pending a claim construction ruling by the court. Although there can be no assurance that an unfavorable outcome of this dispute would not have a material adverse effect on our operating results, liquidity or financial position, we believe that the claims are without merit and we will vigorously defend the action.

From time to time the Company is involved in other legal actions arising in the ordinary course of our business. We believe that the ultimate outcome of these actions will not have a material adverse effect on our operating results, liquidity or financial position.
