NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS–UNAUDITED

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of HEICO Corporation and its subsidiaries (collectively, “HEICO,” “we,” “us,” “our” or the “Company”) have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q.  Therefore, the condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all information and footnotes normally included in annual consolidated financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2008.  The October 31, 2008 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet has been derived from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements.  In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting principally of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of the condensed consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations and statements of cash flows for such interim periods presented.  The results of operations for the nine months ended July 31, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected for the entire fiscal year.  The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect management’s evaluation of subsequent events through September 1, 2009, the date of issuance of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements,” which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and requires expanded disclosures about fair value measurements.  In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) FAS 157-2, “Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157,” which delays the effective date of SFAS No. 157 by one year for nonfinancial assets and liabilities, except those recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis.  The Company adopted all required portions of SFAS No. 157 effective November 1, 2008.  The adoption of SFAS No. 157 did not have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows.  See Note 7, Fair Value Measurements, which provides information about the extent to which fair value is used to measure assets and liabilities and the methods and assumptions used to measure fair value.  The portions of SFAS No. 157 that were delayed by FSP FAS 157-2 will be adopted by the Company at the beginning of fiscal 2010, and the Company is currently in the process of evaluating the effect such adoption will have on its results of operations, financial position and cash flows.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities - Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115.”  SFAS

5

Table of Contents

No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value, and report unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected in earnings.  The Company adopted SFAS No. 159 effective November 1, 2008 and has not elected to measure any financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value that were not previously required to be measured at fair value.  Accordingly, the adoption of SFAS No. 159 did not impact the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), “Business Combinations.”  SFAS No. 141(R) is a revision of SFAS No. 141 and retains the fundamental requirements in SFAS No. 141 that the acquisition method of accounting (formerly the “purchase accounting” method) be used for all business combinations and for an acquirer to be identified for each business combination.  However, SFAS No. 141(R) changes the approach of applying the acquisition method in a number of significant areas, including that acquisition costs will generally be expensed as incurred; noncontrolling interests will be valued at fair value at the acquisition date; in-process research and development will be recorded at fair value as an indefinite-lived intangible asset at the acquisition date; restructuring costs associated with a business combination will generally be expensed subsequent to the acquisition date; and changes in deferred tax asset valuation allowances and income tax uncertainties after the acquisition date generally will affect income tax expense.  SFAS No. 141(R) is effective on a prospective basis for all business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first fiscal year beginning on or after December 15, 2008, or in fiscal 2010 for HEICO.  The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the effect the adoption of SFAS No. 141(R) will have on its results of operations, financial position and cash flows.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements - an amendment of ARB No. 51.”  This statement requires the recognition of a noncontrolling interest (previously referred to as a minority interest) as a separate component within equity in the consolidated balance sheet.  It also requires the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and the noncontrolling interest be clearly identified and presented within the consolidated statement of operations.  SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008, or in fiscal 2010 for HEICO.  The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the effect the adoption of SFAS No. 160 will have on its results of operations, financial position and cash flows.

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities - an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133.”  SFAS No. 161 expands the disclosure requirements in SFAS No. 133 about an entity’s derivative instruments and hedging activities.  It requires enhanced disclosures about (i) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments; (ii) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS No. 133 and its related interpretations; and (iii) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows.  The Company adopted SFAS No. 161 effective February 1, 2009.  SFAS No. 161 affects financial statement disclosures only, and the Company will make the required additional disclosures in reporting periods for which it uses derivative instruments.

6

In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.”  SFAS No. 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles used in the preparation of financial statements that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.  SFAS No. 162 became effective November 15, 2008.  The adoption of SFAS No. 162 did not have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, “Subsequent Events.”  SFAS No. 165 establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued.  SFAS No. 165 requires the disclosure of the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events, which is through the date the financial statements are issued for a public entity such as HEICO.  The Company adopted SFAS No. 165 effective in the third quarter of fiscal 2009.  The adoption of SFAS No. 165 did not have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168, “The FASB Accounting Standards CodificationTM and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles – a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162.” SFAS 168 establishes the FASB Accounting Standards CodificationTM as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.  SFAS No. 168 is effective for reporting periods ending after September 15, 2009, or in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009 for HEICO.  SFAS No. 168 is not intended to change GAAP, therefore the Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 168 to have an impact on its results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

2. ACQUISITIONS

In December 2008, the Company, through its HEICO Aerospace Holdings Corp. subsidiary (“HEICO Aerospace”), made payment for the remaining 10% equity interest in one of its subsidiaries, which increased the Company’s ownership interest to 100% effective October 31, 2008.  The purchase price was accrued as of October 31, 2008 and was paid using cash provided by operating activities.

In December 2008, the Company, through HEICO Aerospace, acquired an additional 14% equity interest in one of its subsidiaries, which increased the Company’s ownership interest to 72%.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2009, the Company, through its HEICO Electronic Technologies Corp. subsidiary (“HEICO Electronic”), paid $2.2 million of additional purchase consideration pursuant to the terms of the purchase agreement associated with a previous year acquisition.  The amount paid, which was accrued as of October 31, 2008, was based on a multiple of the subsidiary’s earnings relative to target.  Since this amount was not contingent upon the former shareholders of the acquired entity remaining employed by the Company or providing future services to the Company, the payment was recorded as an additional cost of the acquired entity.

7

Table of Contents

In April 2009, the Company, through HEICO Electronic, acquired an additional 3.4% equity interest in one of its subsidiaries, which increased the Company’s ownership interest to 89.9%.  The purchase price of the acquired equity interest was paid using cash provided by operating activities.

In May 2009, the Company, through HEICO Electronic, acquired 82.5% of the stock of VPT, Inc. (“VPT”), a U.S. company that designs and provides power conversion products principally serving the defense, space and aviation industries.  The remaining 17.5% is owned by an existing shareholder which is also a supplier to the acquired company.  The Company has the right to purchase the minority interests beginning at the fifth anniversary of the acquisition, or sooner under certain conditions, and the minority interest holder has the right to cause the Company to purchase the same equity interests over the same period.  In addition, subject to meeting certain earnings objectives during each of the first three years following the acquisition, the Company may be obligated to pay additional consideration of up to approximately $1.3 million in fiscal 2010, $1.3 million in fiscal 2011 and $10.1 million in fiscal 2012.

The fiscal 2009 acquisitions described above were accounted for using the purchase method of accounting.  The purchase price of each acquisition was paid in cash using proceeds from the Company’s revolving credit facility unless otherwise noted and was not significant to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.  The allocation of the purchase price of the fiscal 2009 acquisition of VPT to the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed in these condensed consolidated financial statements is preliminary until the Company obtains final information regarding their fair values.  See Note 12, Commitments and Contingencies, for additional information on put/call rights and contingent purchase consideration associated with certain of the Company’s acquisitions.  The aggregate cost of the fiscal 2009 acquisitions, net of cash acquired, and payment of the aforementioned amounts accrued as of October 31, 2008 was $45.8 million for the nine months ended July 31, 2009.

The operating results of each of the Company’s fiscal 2009 acquisitions noted above and the fiscal 2008 acquisitions were included in the Company’s results of operations from their effective acquisition date.  The following table presents the Company’s unaudited pro forma consolidated operating results assuming the fiscal 2009 and 2008 acquisitions had been consummated as of the beginning of fiscal 2008.  The pro forma information is presented for comparative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that actually would have been achieved if the acquisitions had taken place as of the beginning of fiscal 2008.  The unaudited pro forma financial information includes adjustments to historical amounts such as additional amortization expense related to acquired intangible assets, increased interest expense associated with borrowings to finance the acquisitions, and applicable adjustments to minority interest in net income as well as the exclusion of any acquisition-related expenses.

4. GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

The Company has two operating segments: the Flight Support Group (“FSG”) and the Electronic Technologies Group (“ETG”).  Changes in the carrying amount of goodwill by operating segment for the nine months ended July 31, 2009 are as follows:

	Segment				Consolidated
	FSG		ETG		Totals
Balances as of October 31, 2008	$	181,126,000	$	142,267,000	$	323,393,000
Goodwill acquired		6,444,000		15,617,000		22,061,000

Balances as of July 31, 2009	$	188,452,000	$	159,553,000	$	348,005,000

The goodwill acquired is a result of certain current year acquisitions described in Note 2, Acquisitions.  The foreign currency translation adjustments reflect unrealized translation gains on goodwill recognized in connection with foreign subsidiaries.  Foreign currency translation adjustments are included in other comprehensive income in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets (see Note 8, Shareholders' Equity and Comprehensive Income).  Adjustments to goodwill consist primarily of final purchase price adjustments related to the preliminary allocation of the purchase price during the allocation period for certain prior year acquisitions to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed.

The increase in the gross carrying amount of customer relationships and trade names as of July 31, 2009 compared to October 31, 2008 principally relates to such intangible assets recognized in connection with an acquisition made during the third quarter of fiscal 2009 (see Note 2, Acquisitions).  The weighted average amortization period of the customer relationships acquired during the nine months ended July 31, 2009 is six years.

Amortization expense related to intangible assets for the nine months ended July 31, 2009 and 2008 was $3,148,000 and $4,004,000, respectively.  Amortization expense related to intangible assets for the three months ended July 31, 2009 and 2008 was $1,336,000 and $1,382,000, respectively.  Amortization expense related to intangible assets for the fiscal year ending October 31, 2009 is estimated to be $4,436,000.  Amortization expense for each of the next five fiscal years is estimated to be $4,538,000 in fiscal 2010, $3,843,000 in fiscal 2011, $3,187,000 in fiscal 2012, $2,659,000 in fiscal 2013 and $2,363,000 in fiscal 2014.

5. SHORT-TERM AND LONG-TERM DEBT

The $2.5 million short-term line of credit that one of the Company’s subsidiaries had with a bank expired in June 2009.

Long-term debt consists of the following:

	July 31, 2009			October 31, 2008
Borrowings under revolving credit facility	$	56,000,000		$	37,000,000
Notes payable, capital leases and equipment loans		488,000			601,000
		56,488,000			37,601,000
Less: Current maturities of long-term debt		(233,000	)		(220,000	)
	$	56,255,000		$	37,381,000

As of July 31, 2009 and October 31, 2008, the weighted average interest rate on borrowings under the Company’s $300 million revolving credit facility was .9% and 3.6%, respectively.  The revolving credit facility contains both financial and non-financial covenants.

Table of Contents

As of July 31, 2009, the Company was in compliance with all such covenants.

6. INCOME TAXES

As of July 31, 2009 and October 31, 2008, the Company’s liability for gross unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions was $2,979,000 and $5,742,000, respectively, of which 2,531,000 and $3,438,000, respectively, would decrease the Company’s income tax expense and effective income tax rate if the tax benefits were recognized.  A reconciliation of the activity related to the liability for gross unrecognized tax benefits for the nine months ended July 31, 2009 is as follows:

Balance as of October 31, 2008	$	5,742,000
Increases related to prior year tax positions		16,000
Decreases related to prior year tax positions		(3,487,000	)
Increases related to current year tax positions		878,000
Settlements		(211,000	)
Lapse of statutes of limitations		41,000
Balance as of July 31, 2009	$	2,979,000

The $2,763,000 decrease in the liability was principally related to the release of reserves for tax positions for which the uncertainty was only related to the timing of such tax benefits and the effect of a favorable settlement reached with the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) during the first quarter of fiscal 2009, partially offset by increases related to current year tax positions.  During the IRS’ examination of the income tax credits claimed by the Company in its U.S. federal filings for qualified research and development activities incurred for fiscal years 2002 through 2005, new information was obtained that supported an aggregate reduction of the liability for uncertain tax positions concerning research and development activities for fiscal years 2002 through 2008.  As a result of the IRS settlement and associated reserve adjustment, the Company recognized a tax benefit, which increased net income by approximately $1,225,000 for the nine months ended July 31, 2009.  Further, the Company believes that it is reasonably possible that within the next twelve months the California Franchise Tax Board examination of the income tax credit claimed for qualified research and development activities on the Company’s state of California filings for fiscal years 2001 through 2005 will be settled.  Accordingly, the Company reclassified the related liability for unrecognized tax benefits from other long-term liabilities to accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. In addition, the Company reclassified the $554,000 of income tax refund receivables for the state of California filings from other assets to prepaid expenses and other current assets in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

During the second quarter of fiscal 2009, the Company filed an application with the IRS for an accounting methodology change that does not require the IRS’ advanced approval.  As this change removes the uncertainty surrounding certain tax positions that was related only to the timing of such tax benefits, the Company released the related reserve, including interest, and deferred tax asset upon filing the application, which did not have a material effect on net income for the nine months ended July 31, 2009.

12

Table of Contents

Except for the events discussed above, there were no material changes in the liability for unrecognized tax positions resulting from tax positions taken during the current or a prior year, settlements with other taxing authorities or a lapse of applicable statutes of limitations.  The accrual of interest and penalties related to the unrecognized tax benefits was not material for the nine months ended July 31, 2009.  Further, the Company does not expect the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits to materially change in the next twelve months.

7. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The Company adopted SFAS No. 157 effective November 1, 2008 for all financial assets and liabilities and nonfinancial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis.  SFAS No. 157 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.  SFAS No. 157 also establishes a three-level fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value.  An asset or liability’s level is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.  SFAS No. 157 requires that assets and liabilities carried at fair value be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:

Level 1   — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2   — Inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly; or

Level 3   — Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability where there is little or no market data, requiring management to develop its own assumptions.

The following table sets forth by level within the fair value hierarchy, the Company’s financial assets and liabilities and nonfinancial assets and liabilities that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of July 31, 2009:

	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
Assets:
Deferred compensation plans
Corporate owned life insurance	$	—	$	14,124,000	$	—	$	14,124,000

Total	$	2,999,000	$	14,316,000	$	—	$	17,315,000
Liabilities		—		—		—		—

The Company maintains two non-qualified deferred compensation plans.  The assets of the HEICO Corporation Leadership Compensation Plan (the “LCP”) principally represent cash surrender values of life insurance policies, which derive their fair values from investments in mutual funds that are managed by an insurance company and are classified within Level 2.  Certain other assets of the LCP represent investments in publicly-traded mutual funds and equity securities and are classified within Level 1.  The assets of the Company’s other deferred

13

compensation plan are principally invested in publicly-traded mutual funds and equity securities and a life insurance policy, and the fair values of this plan’s assets are classified within Level 1 and Level 2, respectively.  The assets of both plans are held within irrevocable trusts and classified within other assets in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.  The related liabilities of the two deferred compensation plans are included within other long-term liabilities in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and have an aggregate value of $17,353,000 as of July 31, 2009.

Put/Call Rights

As part of the agreement to acquire an 80% interest in a subsidiary by the ETG in fiscal 2004, the minority interest holders currently have the right to cause the Company to purchase their interests over a five-year period and the Company has the right to purchase the minority interests over a five-year period beginning in fiscal 2015, or sooner under certain conditions.

Pursuant to the purchase agreement related to the acquisition of an 85% interest in a subsidiary by the ETG in fiscal 2005, certain minority interest holders exercised their option

16

Table of Contents

during fiscal 2007 to cause the Company to purchase their aggregate 3% interest over a four-year period ending in fiscal 2010.  Pursuant to this same purchase agreement, certain other minority interest holders exercised their option during the second quarter of fiscal 2009 to cause the Company to purchase their aggregate 10.5% interest over a four-year period ending in fiscal 2012.  Accordingly, the Company increased its ownership interest in the subsidiary by an aggregate 4.9% (or one-fourth of such applicable minority interest holders’ aggregate interest in fiscal years 2007 through 2009) to 89.9% effective April 2009.  Further, the remaining minority interest holders currently have the right to cause the Company to purchase their aggregate 1.5% interest over a four-year period.

Pursuant to the purchase agreement related to the acquisition of a 51% interest in a subsidiary by the FSG in fiscal 2006, the minority interest holders exercised their option during fiscal 2008 to cause the Company to purchase an aggregate 28% interest over a four-year period ending in fiscal 2011.  Accordingly, the Company increased its ownership interest in the subsidiary by 7% (or one-fourth of such minority interest holders’ aggregate interest) to 58% effective April 2008.  The Company and the minority interest holders agreed to accelerate the purchase of 14% of these equity interests (7% from April 2009 and 7% from April 2010), which increased the Company’s ownership interest to 72% effective December 2008.  The remaining 7% interest is scheduled to be purchased in April 2011.  Further, the Company has the right to purchase the remaining 21% of the equity interests of the subsidiary over a three-year period beginning in fiscal 2012, or sooner under certain conditions, and the minority interest holders have the right to cause the Company to purchase the same equity interests over the same period.

As part of the agreement to acquire an 80% interest in a subsidiary by the FSG in fiscal 2006, the Company has the right to purchase the minority interests over a four-year period beginning in fiscal 2014, or sooner under certain conditions, and the minority interest holders have the right to cause the Company to purchase the same equity interests over the same period.

As part of an agreement to acquire an 80% interest in a subsidiary by the FSG in fiscal 2008, the Company has the right to purchase the minority interests over a five-year period beginning in fiscal 2014, or sooner under certain conditions, and the minority interest holders have the right to cause the Company to purchase the same equity interests over the same period.

As part of an agreement to acquire an 82.5% interest in a subsidiary by the ETG in fiscal 2009, the Company has the right to purchase the minority interests beginning in fiscal 2014, or sooner under certain conditions, and the minority interest holder has the right to cause the Company to purchase the same equity interests over the same period.

The above referenced rights of the minority interest holders (“Put Rights”) may be exercised on varying dates causing the Company to purchase their equity interests beginning in fiscal 2010 through fiscal 2018.  The Put Rights, all of which relate either to common shares or membership interests in limited liability companies, provide that the cash consideration to be paid for the minority interests (“Redemption Amount”) be at a formula that management intended to reasonably approximate fair value, as defined in the applicable agreements based on a multiple of future earnings over a measurement period.  Assuming the subsidiaries perform over their respective future measurement periods at the same earnings levels they have performed in the comparable historical measurement periods and assuming all Put Rights are exercised, the

17

Table of Contents

aggregate Redemption Amount that the Company would be required to pay is approximately $48 million.  The actual Redemption Amount will likely be different.  Upon exercise of any Put Right, the Company’s ownership interest in the subsidiary would increase and minority interest expense would decrease.  The Put Rights are embedded in the shares owned by the minority interest holders and are not freestanding.  Consistent with Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, “Consolidated Financial Statements,” minority interests have been recorded in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets at historical cost plus an allocation of subsidiary earnings based on ownership interests, less dividends paid to the minority interest holders.  As described in Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160 in December 2007 that will change the current accounting and financial reporting for noncontrolling (minority) interests.  SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008.  The Company will adopt SFAS No. 160 on November 1, 2009.  SFAS No. 160 requires that noncontrolling (minority) interests be reported in the consolidated balance sheet within equity.  The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the effect such adoption will have on its minority interest liabilities and related Put Rights.

Additional Contingent Purchase Consideration

As part of the agreement to purchase a subsidiary by the ETG in fiscal 2005, the Company may be obligated to pay additional purchase consideration currently estimated to total up to $3.2 million should the subsidiary meet certain product line-related earnings objectives during calendar years 2008 and 2009.

As part of the agreement to acquire a subsidiary by the ETG in fiscal 2006, the Company may be obligated to pay additional purchase consideration up to $19.2 million should the subsidiary meet certain earnings objectives in fiscal 2009.

As part of the agreement to acquire a subsidiary by the ETG in fiscal 2007, the Company may be obligated to pay additional purchase consideration up to 73 million Canadian dollars in aggregate, which translates to approximately $67 million U.S. dollars based on the July 31, 2009 exchange rate, should the subsidiary meet certain earnings objectives through fiscal 2012.

As part of the agreement to acquire a subsidiary by the FSG in fiscal 2008, the Company may be obligated to pay additional consideration of up to approximately $.4 million should the subsidiary meet certain earnings objectives during fiscal 2010, 2011 and 2012.

As part of the agreement to acquire a subsidiary by the ETG in fiscal 2009, the Company may be obligated to pay additional consideration of up to approximately $1.3 million in fiscal 2010, $1.3 million in fiscal 2011 and $10.1 million in fiscal 2012 should the subsidiary meet certain earnings objectives during each of the first three years following the acquisition.

The above referenced additional contingent purchase consideration will be accrued when the earnings objectives are met.  Such additional contingent consideration is based on a multiple of earnings above a threshold (subject to a cap in certain cases) and is not contingent upon the former shareholders of the acquired entities remaining employed by the Company or providing future services to the Company.  Accordingly, such consideration will be recorded as an additional cost of the respective acquired entity when paid.  The aggregate maximum amount of

Table of Contents

such contingent consideration that the Company could be required to pay is approximately $103 million payable over future periods beginning in fiscal 2010 through fiscal 2013.  Assuming the subsidiaries perform over their respective future measurement periods at the same earnings levels they have performed in the comparable historical measurement periods, the aggregate amount of such contingent consideration that the Company would be required to pay is approximately $11 million.  The actual contingent purchase consideration will likely be different.

Litigation

The Company is involved in various legal actions arising in the normal course of business.  Based upon the Company’s and its legal counsel’s evaluations of any claims or assessments, management is of the opinion that the outcome of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Overview

This discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included herein.  The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ materially from those estimates if different assumptions were used or different events ultimately transpire.

Our critical accounting policies, some of which require management to make judgments about matters that are inherently uncertain, are described in Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” under the heading “Critical Accounting Policies” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2008.

Our business is comprised of two operating segments:  the Flight Support Group (“FSG”), consisting of HEICO Aerospace Holdings Corp. (“HEICO Aerospace”) and its subsidiaries, and the Electronic Technologies Group (“ETG”), consisting of HEICO Electronic Technologies Corp. (“HEICO Electronic”) and its subsidiaries.

Our results of operations for the nine and three months ended July 31, 2009 have been affected by certain fiscal 2009 acquisitions.  In December 2008, we acquired, through HEICO Aerospace, an additional 14% equity interest in one of our subsidiaries, which increased our ownership interest to 72%.  In May 2009, we acquired, through HEICO Electronic, 82.5% of the stock of VPT, Inc. (“VPT”).  The acquisitions have been accounted for using the purchase method of accounting and are included in our results of operations from the effective dates of acquisition.  The purchase price of each acquisition was paid in cash using proceeds from our revolving credit facility and was not significant to our condensed consolidated financial statements.  For further information regarding our fiscal 2009 acquisitions, see Note 2, Acquisitions, of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Comparison of First Nine Months of Fiscal 2009 to First Nine Months of Fiscal 2008

Net Sales

Net sales for the first nine months of fiscal 2009 decreased by 7.3% to $394.7 million, as compared to net sales of $425.6 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2008.  The decrease in net sales reflects a decrease of $22.7 million (a 7.1% decrease) to $297.5 million in net sales within the FSG and a decrease of $8.2 million (a 7.7% decrease) to $97.5 million in net sales within the ETG.  The net sales decline in both the FSG and the ETG reflects the continued effects of the slowdown in global economic activity, which has resulted in a reduction in customer demand.  The net sales decrease within the FSG reflects the fall in demand for our aftermarket parts and services resulting from worldwide airline capacity cuts and efforts to reduce spending and conserve cash by the airline industry.  Within the ETG, we are generally seeing some strength in our defense related businesses, including space and homeland security products, but continued weakness in customer demand for certain of our medical, telecommunication and electronic products.

Gross Profit and Operating Expenses

Our consolidated gross profit margin decreased to 33.5% for the first nine months of fiscal 2009 as compared to 36.0% for the first nine months of fiscal 2008, mainly reflecting lower margins within the FSG due principally to a less favorable product mix as well as a higher investment by HEICO in the research and development of new products and services.  Consolidated cost of sales for the first nine months of fiscal 2009 and 2008 includes approximately $14.8 million and $13.9 million, respectively, of new product research and development expenses.

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses were $68.0 million and $76.0 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2009 and fiscal 2008, respectively.  The decrease in SG&A expenses was mainly due to lower operating costs, principally personnel related, associated with cost reduction initiatives and the decline in net sales discussed above.  These cost reductions resulted in a decrease of SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales from 17.8% for the first nine months of fiscal 2008 to 17.2% for the first nine months of fiscal 2009.

Operating Income

Operating income for the first nine months of fiscal 2009 decreased by 16.7% to $64.2 million, compared to operating income of $77.1 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2008.  The decrease in operating income reflects a decrease of $13.4 million (a 22.4% decrease) to $46.3 million in operating income of the FSG in the first nine months of fiscal 2009 from $59.7 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2008, a $1.2 million decrease (a 4.4% decrease) in operating income of the ETG from $27.7 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2008 to $26.5 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2009, partially offset by a $1.8 million decrease in corporate expenses.

22

Table of Contents

As a percentage of net sales, consolidated operating income decreased to 16.3% for the first nine months of fiscal 2009 compared to 18.1% for the first nine months of fiscal 2008.  The consolidated operating income as a percentage of net sales reflects a decrease in the FSG’s operating income as a percentage of net sales from 18.6% in the first nine months of fiscal 2008 to 15.6% in the first nine months of fiscal 2009, partially offset by an increase in the ETG’s operating income as a percentage of net sales from 26.2% in the first nine months of fiscal 2008 to 27.2% in the first nine months of fiscal 2009.  The decrease in operating income as a percentage of net sales for the FSG principally reflects the aforementioned impact of the lower sales volume on gross profit margins and a less favorable product mix.  The increase in operating income as a percentage of net sales for the ETG principally reflects a favorable product mix.

Interest Expense

Interest expense decreased to $484,000 in the first nine months of fiscal 2009 from $1,951,000 in the first nine months of fiscal 2008.  The decrease was principally due to lower variable interest rates under our revolving credit facility in the first nine months of fiscal 2009.

Other Income (Expense)

Other income (expense) in the first nine months of fiscal 2009 and 2008 was not material.

Income Tax Expense

Our effective tax rate for the first nine months of fiscal 2009 decreased to 30.3% from 34.8% for the first nine months of 2008.  This decrease principally reflects a settlement reached with the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) during the first quarter of fiscal 2009 and a lower effective state income tax rate.  The IRS settlement pertained to the income tax credits claimed on HEICO’s U.S. federal filings for qualified research and development activities incurred for fiscal years 2002 through 2005 and a resulting reduction to the related reserve for fiscal years 2002 through 2008 based on new information obtained during the examination, which increased net income by approximately $1,225,000, or $.05 per diluted share, for the first nine months of fiscal 2009.  The lower effective state income tax rate was due to changes in certain state tax laws which impacted state apportionment factors.

Minority Interests’ Share of Income

Minority interests’ share of income of consolidated subsidiaries relates to the 20% minority interest held in HEICO Aerospace and the minority interests held in certain subsidiaries of HEICO Aerospace and HEICO Electronic.  The decrease in the minority interests’ share of income for the first nine months of fiscal 2009 compared to the first nine months of fiscal 2008 is principally attributable to the acquired additional equity interests of certain FSG subsidiaries in which minority interests exist as well as the lower earnings of the FSG.

Table of Contents

Net Income

Our net income was $33.0 million, or $1.22 per diluted share, for the first nine months of fiscal 2009 compared to $34.9 million, or $1.28 per diluted share, for the first nine months of fiscal 2008 reflecting the decreased operating income referenced above, partially offset by the aforementioned favorable IRS settlement, the decreased minority interests’ share of income of certain consolidated subsidiaries and lower interest expense.

Comparison of Third Quarter of Fiscal 2009 to Third Quarter of Fiscal 2008

Net Sales

Net sales for the third quarter of fiscal 2009 decreased by 9.0% to $134.1 million, as compared to net sales of $147.3 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2008.  The decrease in net sales reflects a decrease of $12.7 million (an 11.6% decrease) to $97.2 million in net sales within the FSG and a decrease of $.6 million (a 1.7% decrease) to $37.1 million in net sales within the ETG.  The net sales decline in both the FSG and the ETG reflects the continued effects of the slowdown in global economic activity, which has resulted in a reduction in customer demand.  The net sales decline in the ETG was partially offset by the impact of the May 2009 acquisition of VPT.  Within the FSG, we have experienced a fall in demand for our aftermarket parts and services and a corresponding decrease in net sales resulting from worldwide airline capacity cuts and efforts to reduce spending and conserve cash by the airline industry.  Within the ETG, we are generally seeing some strength in our defense related businesses, including space and homeland security products, but continued weakness in customer demand for certain of our medical, telecommunication and electronic products.

Gross Profit and Operating Expenses

Our consolidated gross profit margin decreased to 34.2% for the third quarter of fiscal 2009 as compared to 36.6% for the third quarter of fiscal 2008, principally reflecting lower margins within the FSG primarily due to the impact of a less favorable product mix.  Consolidated cost of sales for the third quarter of fiscal 2009 and 2008 includes approximately $5.1 million and $5.4 million, respectively, of new product research and development expenses.

SG&A expenses were $24.4 million and $26.4 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2009 and fiscal 2008, respectively.  The decrease in SG&A expenses was mainly due to lower operating costs, principally personnel related, associated with cost reduction initiatives and the decline in net sales discussed above, partially offset by the operating costs of VPT, which was acquired in May 2009.  SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales were 18.2% for the third quarter of fiscal 2009 compared to 17.9% for the third quarter of fiscal 2008.

Operating Income

Operating income for the third quarter of fiscal 2009 decreased by 22.1% to $21.4 million, compared to operating income of $27.5 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2008.  The decrease in operating income reflects a decrease of $5.6 million (a 27.6% decrease) to $14.8

24

Table of Contents

million in operating income of the FSG in the third quarter of fiscal 2009 from $20.4 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2008, a $.9 million decrease (a 7.9% decrease) in operating income of the ETG from $10.8 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2008 to $9.9 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2009, partially offset by a $.4 million decrease in corporate expenses.

As a percentage of net sales, consolidated operating income decreased to 16.0% for the third quarter of fiscal 2009 compared to 18.7% for the third quarter of fiscal 2008.  The consolidated operating income as a percentage of net sales principally reflects a decrease in the FSG’s operating income as a percentage of net sales from 18.5% in the third quarter of fiscal 2008 to 15.2% in the third quarter of fiscal 2009 and a decrease in the ETG’s operating income as a percentage of net sales from 28.6% in the third quarter of fiscal 2008 to 26.8% in the third quarter of fiscal 2009.  The decrease in operating income as a percentage of net sales for the FSG principally reflects the impact of the lower sales volumes on gross profit margins, including a resultant increase in inventory reserves of certain parts evaluated as slow-moving, and a less favorable product mix.  The decrease in operating income as a percentage of net sales for the ETG principally reflects the impact of higher SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales due to the lower sales volume, partially offset by a favorable product mix.

Interest Expense

Interest expense decreased to $177,000 in the third quarter of fiscal 2009 from $444,000 in the third quarter of fiscal 2008.  The decrease was principally due to lower variable interest rates, partially offset by a higher weighted average balance outstanding under our revolving credit facility in the third quarter of fiscal 2009.

Other Income (Expense)

Other income (expense) in the third quarter of fiscal 2009 and 2008 was not material.

Income Tax Expense

Our effective tax rate for the third quarter of fiscal 2009 decreased to 30.4% from 35.3% for the third quarter of fiscal 2008.  This decrease principally reflects a larger income tax credit for qualified research and development activities recognized in the third quarter of fiscal 2009 compared to 2008 as well as a lower effective state income tax rate.  The lower effective state income tax rate was due to changes in certain state tax laws which impacted state apportionment factors.

Minority Interests’ Share of Income

Minority interests’ share of income of consolidated subsidiaries relates to the 20% minority interest held in HEICO Aerospace and the minority interests held in certain subsidiaries of HEICO Aerospace and HEICO Electronic.  The decrease in the minority interests’ share of income for the third quarter of fiscal 2009 compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2008 was principally attributable to the acquired additional equity interests of certain FSG subsidiaries in which minority interests exist as well as lower earnings of the FSG, partially offset by the minority interest held in VPT.

25

Table of Contents

Net Income

Our net income was $11.1 million, or $.41 per diluted share, for the third quarter of fiscal 2009 compared to $12.8 million, or $.47 per diluted share, for the third quarter of fiscal 2008.  This decrease in net income reflects the decreased operating income referenced above, partially offset by a lower effective tax rate, the decreased minority interests’ share of income of certain consolidated subsidiaries and lower interest expense.

Outlook

Although airline capacity reductions have been moderating in recent months, near-term visibility remains somewhat opaque. Based on current market conditions, we are targeting fiscal 2009 full year net sales and diluted net income per share to be approximately 7% to 9% lower when compared to 2008.  These targets are within the range of our prior estimates and exclude the impact of additional acquisitions, if any.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our principal uses of cash include acquisitions, payments of principal and interest on debt, capital expenditures, cash dividends and increases in working capital.

We finance our activities primarily from our operating activities and financing activities, including borrowings under short-term and long-term credit agreements.  As of July 31, 2009, our net debt to equity ratio was a low 11%, with net debt (total debt less cash and cash equivalents) of $49.5 million, and we have no significant debt maturities until fiscal 2013.

Based on our current outlook, we believe that our net cash provided by operating activities and available borrowings under our revolving credit facility will be sufficient to fund cash requirements for the foreseeable future.

Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities was $43.7 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2009, consisting primarily of net income of $33.0 million, minority interests’ share of income of consolidated subsidiaries of $11.6 million, depreciation and amortization of $11.0 million and a tax benefit on stock option exercises of $1.9 million, partially offset by an increase in net operating assets of $11.2 million, the presentation of $1.6 million of excess tax benefit from stock option exercises as a financing activity, and a deferred tax benefit of $1.4 million.  The increase in net operating assets principally reflects the payment of certain accrued employee compensation and accrued additional purchase consideration since October 31, 2008 and a higher level of inventories, partially offset by a decrease in accounts receivable due to the timing of cash collections and lower net sales.

Net cash provided by operating activities decreased $12.9 million from $56.6 million for

26

Table of Contents

the first nine months of fiscal 2008 to $43.7 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2009 due to lower income before minority interests, a reduction in accrued expenses and other current liabilities related to a lower accrual for performance based awards, and a reduced tax benefit from stock option exercises partially offset by a decrease in accounts receivable due to lower sales volumes and the timing of cash collections.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities during the first nine months of fiscal 2009 related primarily to acquisitions and related costs of $45.8 million and capital expenditures totaling $7.8 million.  Acquisitions and related costs principally reflect the acquisition of VPT, an additional 14% of the equity interests of a subsidiary of the FSG and additional purchase consideration related to a subsidiary acquired in a previous year, which was accrued as of October 31, 2008 based on the subsidiary’s earnings relative to target.  Further details on the fiscal 2009 acquisitions can be found in Note 2, Acquisitions, of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities during the first nine months of fiscal 2009 primarily related to net borrowings on our revolving credit facility of $19.0 million and the presentation of $1.6 million of excess tax benefit from stock option exercises as a financing activity, offset by repurchases of our common stock of $8.1 million, distributions to minority interest holders of $6.0 million, and the payment of $3.2 million in cash dividends on our common stock.

Contractual Obligations

There have not been any material changes to the amounts presented in the table of contractual obligations that was included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2008.

As discussed in “Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements – Acquisitions – Put/Call Rights” below, the minority interest holders of certain subsidiaries have rights (“Put Rights”) that may be exercised on varying dates causing us to purchase their equity interests beginning in fiscal 2010 through fiscal 2018.  Assuming the subsidiaries perform over their respective future measurement periods at the same earnings levels they have performed in the comparable historical measurement periods and assuming all Put Rights are exercised, the aggregate amount that we would be required to pay is approximately $48 million.  The actual amount will likely be different.

Further, as discussed in “Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements – Acquisitions – Additional Contingent Purchase Consideration” below, we may be obligated to pay additional contingent purchase consideration based on future earnings of certain acquired businesses.  The aggregate maximum amount of such contingent consideration that we could be required to pay is approximately $103 million payable over future periods beginning in fiscal 2010 through fiscal

2013.  Assuming the subsidiaries perform over their respective future measurement periods at the same earnings levels they have performed in the comparable historical measurement periods, the aggregate amount of such contingent consideration that we would be required to pay is approximately $11 million.  The actual contingent purchase consideration will likely be different.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Guarantees

We have arranged for a standby letter of credit for $1.5 million, which is supported by our revolving credit facility, to meet the security requirement of our insurance company for potential workers’ compensation claims.

Acquisitions – Put/Call Rights

As part of the agreement to acquire an 80% interest in a subsidiary by the ETG in fiscal 2004, the minority interest holders currently have the right to cause us to purchase their interests over a five-year period and we have the right to purchase the minority interests over a five-year period beginning in fiscal 2015, or sooner under certain conditions.

Pursuant to the purchase agreement related to the acquisition of an 85% interest in a subsidiary by the ETG in fiscal 2005, certain minority interest holders exercised their option during fiscal 2007 to cause us to purchase their aggregate 3% interest over a four-year period ending in fiscal 2010.  Pursuant to this same purchase agreement, certain other minority interest holders exercised their option during the second quarter of fiscal 2009 to cause us to purchase their aggregate 10.5% interest over a four-year period ending in fiscal 2012.  Accordingly, we increased our ownership interest in the subsidiary by an aggregate 4.9% (or one-fourth of such applicable minority interest holders’ aggregate interest in fiscal years 2007 through 2009) to 89.9% effective April 2009.  Further, the remaining minority interest holders currently have the right to cause us to purchase their aggregate 1.5% interest over a four-year period.

Pursuant to the purchase agreement related to the acquisition of a 51% interest in a subsidiary by the FSG in fiscal 2006, the minority interest holders exercised their option during fiscal 2008 to cause us to purchase an aggregate 28% interest over a four-year period ending in fiscal 2011.  Accordingly, we increased our ownership interest in the subsidiary by 7% (or one-fourth of such minority interest holders’ aggregate interest) to 58% effective April 2008.  We and the minority interest holders agreed to accelerate the purchase of 14% of these equity interests (7% from April 2009 and 7% from April 2010), which increased our ownership interest to 72% effective December 2008.  The remaining 7% interest is scheduled to be purchased in April 2011.  Further, we have the right to purchase the remaining 21% of the equity interests of the subsidiary over a three-year period beginning in fiscal 2012, or sooner under certain conditions, and the minority interest holders have the right to cause us to purchase the same equity interests over the same period.

As part of the agreement to acquire an 80% interest in a subsidiary by the FSG in fiscal 2006, we have the right to purchase the minority interests over a four-year period beginning in

28

fiscal 2014, or sooner under certain conditions, and the minority interest holders have the right to cause us to purchase the same equity interests over the same period.

As part of an agreement to acquire an 80% interest in a subsidiary by the FSG in fiscal 2008, we have the right to purchase the minority interests over a five-year period beginning in fiscal 2014, or sooner under certain conditions, and the minority interest holders have the right to cause us to purchase the same equity interests over the same period.

As part of an agreement to acquire an 82.5% interest in a subsidiary by the ETG in fiscal 2009, we have the right to purchase the minority interests beginning in fiscal 2014, or sooner under certain conditions, and the minority interest holder has the right to cause us to purchase the same equity interests over the same period.

The above referenced rights of the minority interest holders (“Put Rights”) may be exercised on varying dates causing us to purchase their equity interests beginning in fiscal 2010 through fiscal 2018.  The Put Rights, all of which relate either to common shares or membership interests in limited liability companies, provide that the cash consideration to be paid for the minority interests (“Redemption Amount”) be at a formula that management intended to reasonably approximate fair value, as defined in the applicable agreements based on a multiple of future earnings over a measurement period.  Upon exercise of any Put Right, our ownership interest in the subsidiary would increase and minority interest expense would decrease.  The Put Rights are embedded in the shares owned by the minority interest holders and are not freestanding.  Consistent with Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, “Consolidated Financial Statements,” minority interests have been recorded in our consolidated balance sheets at historical cost plus an allocation of subsidiary earnings based on ownership interests, less dividends paid to the minority interest holders.  As described in Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 160 in December 2007 that will change the current accounting and financial reporting for noncontrolling (minority) interests.  SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008.  We will adopt SFAS No. 160 on November 1, 2009.  SFAS No. 160 requires that noncontrolling (minority) interests be reported in the consolidated balance sheet within equity.  We are currently in the process of evaluating the effect such adoption will have on our minority interest liabilities and related Put Rights.  See also “Contractual Obligations” above.

Acquisitions – Additional Contingent Purchase Consideration

As part of the agreement to purchase a subsidiary by the ETG in fiscal 2005, we may be obligated to pay additional purchase consideration currently estimated to total up to $3.2 million should the subsidiary meet certain product line-related earnings objectives during calendar years 2008 and 2009.

As part of the agreement to acquire a subsidiary by the ETG in fiscal 2006, we may be obligated to pay additional purchase consideration up to $19.2 million should the subsidiary meet certain earnings objectives in fiscal 2009.

29

Table of Contents

As part of the agreement to acquire a subsidiary by the ETG in fiscal 2007, we may be obligated to pay additional purchase consideration up to 73 million Canadian dollars in aggregate, which translates to approximately $67 million U.S. dollars based on the July 31, 2009 exchange rate, should the subsidiary meet certain earnings objectives through fiscal 2012.

As part of the agreement to acquire a subsidiary by the FSG in fiscal 2008, we may be obligated to pay additional consideration of up to approximately $.4 million in aggregate should the subsidiary meet certain earnings objectives during fiscal 2010, 2011 and 2012.

As part of the agreement to acquire a subsidiary by the ETG in fiscal 2009, we may be obligated to pay additional consideration of up to approximately $1.3 million in fiscal 2010, $1.3 million in fiscal 2011 and $10.1 million in fiscal 2012 should the subsidiary meet certain earnings objectives during each of the first three years following the acquisition.

The above referenced additional contingent purchase consideration will be accrued when the earnings objectives are met.  Such additional contingent consideration is based on a multiple of earnings above a threshold (subject to a cap in certain cases) and is not contingent upon the former shareholders of the acquired entities remaining employed by us or providing future services to us.  Accordingly, such consideration will be recorded as an additional cost of the respective acquired entity when paid.  See also “Contractual Obligations” above.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements,” which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and requires expanded disclosures about fair value measurements.  In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) FAS 157-2, “Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157,” which delays the effective date of SFAS No. 157 by one year for nonfinancial assets and liabilities, except those recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis.  We adopted all required portions of SFAS No. 157 effective November 1, 2008.  The adoption of SFAS No. 157 did not have a material effect on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows.  See Note 7, Fair Value Measurements, of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, which provides information about the extent to which fair value is used to measure assets and liabilities and the methods and assumptions used to measure fair value.  We will adopt the portions of SFAS No. 157 that were delayed by FSP FAS 157-2 at the beginning of fiscal 2010, and we are currently in the process of evaluating the effect such adoption will have on our results of operations, financial position and cash flows.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities - Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115.”  SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value, and report unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected in earnings.  We adopted SFAS No. 159 effective November 1, 2008 and have not elected to measure any financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value that were not previously required to be measured at fair value.  Accordingly, the adoption of SFAS No. 159 did not impact our results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), “Business Combinations.”  SFAS No. 141(R) is a revision of SFAS No. 141 and retains the fundamental requirements in SFAS No. 141 that the acquisition method of accounting (formerly the “purchase accounting” method) be used for all business combinations and for an acquirer to be identified for each business combination.  However, SFAS No. 141(R) changes the approach of applying the acquisition method in a number of significant areas, including that acquisition costs will generally be expensed as incurred; noncontrolling interests will be valued at fair value at the acquisition date; in-process research and development will be recorded at fair value as an indefinite-lived intangible asset at the acquisition date; restructuring costs associated with a business combination will generally be expensed subsequent to the acquisition date; and changes in deferred tax asset valuation allowances and income tax uncertainties after the acquisition date generally will affect income tax expense.  SFAS No. 141(R) is effective on a prospective basis for all business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first fiscal year beginning on or after December 15, 2008, or in fiscal 2010 for us.  We are currently in the process of evaluating the effect the adoption of SFAS No. 141(R) will have on our results of operations, financial position and cash flows.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements - an amendment of ARB No. 51.”  This statement requires the recognition of a noncontrolling interest (previously referred to as a minority interest) as a separate component within equity in the consolidated balance sheet.  It also requires the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and the noncontrolling interest be clearly identified and presented within the consolidated statement of operations.  SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008, or in fiscal 2010 for us.  We are currently in the process of evaluating the effect the adoption of SFAS No. 160 will have on our results of operations, financial position and cash flows.

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities - an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133.”  SFAS No. 161 expands the disclosure requirements in SFAS No. 133 about an entity’s derivative instruments and hedging activities.  It requires enhanced disclosures about (i) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments; (ii) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS No. 133 and its related interpretations; and (iii) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows.  We adopted SFAS No. 161 effective February 1, 2009.  SFAS No. 161 affects financial statement disclosures only and we will make the required additional disclosures in reporting periods for which we use derivative instruments.

In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.”  SFAS No. 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles used in the preparation of financial statements that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.  SFAS No. 162 became effective November 15, 2008.  The adoption of SFAS No. 162 did not have a material effect on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, “Subsequent Events.”  SFAS No. 165 establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued.  SFAS No. 165 requires the disclosure of the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events, which is through the date the financial statements are issued for a public entity such as ours.  We adopted SFAS No. 165 in the third quarter of fiscal 2009.  The adoption of SFAS No. 165 did not impact our results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168, “The FASB Accounting Standards CodificationTM and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles – a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162.”SFAS 168 establishes the FASB Accounting Standards CodificationTM as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.  SFAS No. 168 is effective for reporting periods ending after September 15, 2009, or in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009 for us.  SFAS No. 168 is not intended to change GAAP, therefore we do not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 168 to have an impact on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

Forward-Looking Statements
