The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Interphase Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. While the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited, they have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. In the opinion of the Company, all material adjustments and disclosures necessary to fairly present the results of such periods have been made. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Operating results for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2009, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2009. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2008.
The Company evaluated its June 30, 2009 condensed consolidated financial statements for subsequent events through August 10, 2009, the date the condensed consolidated financial statements were issued. The Company is not aware of any subsequent events that would require recognition or disclosure in its condensed consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 2. — STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payments.” The Company had no unvested stock options nor were any stock options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2009 or 2008, and as a result the Company recorded no stock-based compensation expense related to stock options during the six months ended June 30, 2009 or 2008. The weighted-average remaining contractual life of stock options outstanding and exercisable at June 30, 2009 is 2.33 years and 2.61 years at December 31, 2008.
The following table summarizes stock option activity under the Company’s stock option plans:

INTERPHASE CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
The Interphase Corporation 2004 Long-Term Stock Incentive Plan provides for grants of bonus stock awards (“restricted stock”) to the Company’s directors and certain employees at no cost to the recipient. Holders of restricted stock are entitled to cash dividends, if any, and to vote their respective shares. Restrictions limit the sale or transfer of these shares during a predefined vesting period, currently ranging from three to six years, and in some cases vesting is subject to the achievement of certain performance conditions. During the six months ended June 30, 2009, there were 385,500 shares granted at a weighted average market price of $1.82. Upon issuance of restricted stock under the plan, unearned compensation equivalent to the market value at the date of grant is recorded as a reduction to shareholders’ equity and subsequently amortized to expense over the respective restriction periods. Compensation expense related to restricted stock was approximately $113,000 and $108,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Compensation expense related to restricted stock was approximately $226,000 and $158,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. As of June 30, 2009, there is approximately $1.2 million of total unamortized compensation expense related to unvested restricted stock remaining to be recognized, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 3.8 years. At December 31, 2008, there was approximately $1.2 million of total unamortized compensation expense related to unvested restricted stock remaining to be recognized which was expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.5 years. The following summarizes the restricted stock activity for the six months ended June 30, 2009:
                 
    Restricted     Weighted Average  
    Stock Shares     Grant Date Value  
Nonvested restricted stock at December 31, 2008

NOTE 3. — MARKETABLE SECURITIES
SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements,” defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. 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 classifies the levels used to measure fair value into the following hierarchy:
  1.  
Level 1 — Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to obtain at the measurement date. This level provides the most reliable evidence of fair value.
  2.  
Level 2 — Valuation based on one or more quoted prices in markets that are not active; quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; inputs that are observable other than quoted prices for the asset or the liability; or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.
  3.  
Level 3 — Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.

The Company’s marketable securities are classified as “available-for-sale” and are presented at estimated fair value based on quoted prices for similar assets in active markets with any unrealized gains or losses included in other comprehensive income (loss). Realized gains and losses are computed based on the specific identification method and were not material for the periods presented. Financial assets, measured at fair value, by level within the fair value hierarchy as of June 30, 2009 were as follows (in thousands):

NOTE 4. — INVENTORIES
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market and include material, labor and manufacturing overhead. Cost is determined on a first-in, first-out basis (in thousands):
                 
    June 30, 2009     December 31, 2008  
Raw materials
  $ 1,771     $ 1,885

Finished goods
    363       66  
 
           
Total
  $ 2,673     $ 2,329  
 
           
Valuing inventory at the lower of cost or market involves an inherent level of risk and uncertainty due to technology trends in the industry and customer demand for the Company’s products. Future events may cause significant fluctuations in the Company’s operating results. Inventories are written down when needed to ensure the Company carries inventory at the lower of cost or market. There were no writedowns during the three months ended June 30, 2009. Writedowns for the six months ended June 30, 2009 were $100,000. There were no such writedowns during the three months and six months ended June 30, 2008.
NOTE 5. — DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company is exposed to adverse movements in foreign currency exchange rates because it conducts business on a global basis and in some cases in foreign currencies. The Company’s operations in France are transacted in the local currency and converted into U.S. Dollars based on published exchange rates for the periods reported and are therefore subject to risk of exchange rate fluctuations.
In an attempt to mitigate the risk described above, the Company may enter into, from time to time, foreign exchange contracts to purchase a fixed amount of Euros on a fixed date in the future at a fixed rate determined at the contract date. These derivative financial instruments do not meet the criteria to qualify as hedges under SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” and therefore any change in the market value of these contracts resulting in a gain or loss is recognized as other (loss) income, net in the period of the change. There were no foreign exchange contracts held by the Company at any point during the three months and six months ended June 30, 2009, and thus there was no related gain or loss. For the three months and six months ended June 30, 2008, the Company recognized a gain of approximately $30,000 and $346,000, respectively, related to these foreign exchange contracts. There were no foreign exchange contracts outstanding at June 30, 2009 or December 31, 2008.

SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” requires that a valuation allowance be established when it is “more likely than not” that all or a portion of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. A review of all available positive and negative evidence needs to be considered, including a company’s current and past performance, the market environment in which the company operates, the utilization of past tax credits, length of carry back and carry forward periods, existing contracts or sales backlog that will result in future profits, as well as other factors. Forming a conclusion that a valuation allowance is not needed is difficult when there is negative evidence such as cumulative losses in recent years. Cumulative losses weigh heavily in the overall assessment. The Company continues to maintain a valuation allowance on all of the net deferred tax assets for the periods presented. Until an appropriate level of profitability is sustained, the Company expects to continue to record a full valuation allowance on future tax benefits except for those that may be generated in foreign jurisdictions.
The effective tax rate differed from the U.S. statutory rate as we continued to provide a full valuation allowance for our net deferred tax assets at June 30, 2009 and June 30, 2008. During each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and June 30, 2008, the Company recorded a tax benefit related to its operations in France. This benefit was primarily the result of a 30% research and development tax credit.
NOTE 7. — RESTRUCTURING CHARGE
On March 27, 2008, the Company adopted a plan to restructure its United States based business operations to balance its current spending with recent revenue trends. The primary goal of the restructuring program was to improve the ability of the Company to invest in future business opportunities that are designed to provide the Company with increased growth potential and greater revenue diversification in the coming years and better align the Company’s skills with its future direction. Under the restructuring plan, the Company reduced its workforce by 14 employees. As a result of the restructuring program, the Company recorded a restructuring charge of $403,000, classified as an operating expense, for the six months ended June 30, 2008. Approximately $365,000 of the charges related to severance and fringe benefits and approximately $38,000 of the charges related to lease obligations. These amounts were paid out under the restructuring plan by the end of 2008.
NOTE 8. — CREDIT FACILITY
The Company maintains a $5.0 million revolving bank credit facility maturing December 19, 2013 with an applicable interest rate on any outstanding balances under the credit facility based on LIBOR plus 1.0%, if LIBOR is greater than 2.5%, otherwise the applicable margin rate is 1.5%. At June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the Company’s interest rate on the $3.5 million borrowings under the revolving credit facility was 2.1% and 2.2%, respectively. The unused portion of the credit facility is subject to an unused facility fee ranging from .25% to .75% depending on total deposits with the creditor. All borrowings under this facility are secured by marketable securities and were classified as long-term debt on the accompanying balance sheets.

NOTE 10. — EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing reported earnings available to common shareholders by weighted average common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share give effect to dilutive potential common shares. Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) staff position Emerging Issues Task Force 03-6-1 (EITF 03-6-1), “Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions are Participating Securities.” EITF 03-6-1 states that unvested share-based payment awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends are participating securities and therefore are to be included in the basic and diluted earnings per share calculation. Accordingly, prior period calculations have been adjusted retrospectively.

NOTE 12. — RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PROUNOUCEMENTS
In June 2008, the FASB issued EITF 03-6-1, “Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions are Participating Securities.” EITF 03-6-1 states that unvested share-based payment awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends are participating securities and therefore are to be included in the basic and diluted earnings per share calculation. All prior-period earnings per share data presented are to be adjusted retrospectively to conform to the provisions of EITF 03-6-1. The Company was subject to the provisions of EITF 03-6-1 beginning January 1, 2009. The Company’s adoption of EITF 03-6-1 required the weighted average of its unvested restricted stock awards to be included in the Company’s calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share, which did not have a material impact on the resulting net income (loss) per share.
In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, “Subsequent Events”. SFAS 165 sets forth the period after the balance sheet date during which management of a reporting entity must evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements; the circumstances under which an entity shall recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements; and the disclosures that an entity is required to make about events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date. The Company adopted SFAS 165 as of June 30, 2009, which was the required effective date. The Company evaluated its June 30, 2009 condensed consolidated financial statements for subsequent events through August 10, 2009, the date the condensed consolidated financial statements were issued. The Company is not aware of any subsequent events which would require recognition or disclosure in the condensed consolidated financial statements.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Revenue
Total revenue increased to $8.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009, compared to $6.7 million for the same period in the prior year. The increase was primarily attributable to broadband telecom revenue, which increased approximately 17% to $7.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009, compared to $6.2 million in the comparable period in the prior year. Our professional services revenue increased significantly to $257,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2009, compared to $21,000 in the comparable period in the prior year. Our enterprise product revenue increased 76% to $345,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2009, compared to $196,000 for the same period in the prior year. All other revenues, increased 22% to $289,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2009, compared to $237,000 for the same period in the prior year.
During the second quarter of 2009, sales to three customers individually accounted for approximately 25%, 24% and 16%, respectively, of our total revenues. During the second quarter of 2008, sales to three customers individually accounted for approximately 30%, 22% and 11% of total revenues, respectively. No other customer accounted for more than 10% of our total revenue in the periods presented.
Total revenue increased to $16.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to $14.1 million in the comparable period for the prior year. The increase in revenue is primarily attributable to our broadband telecom revenues, which increased approximately 27% to $15.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to $12.0 million for the same period in the prior year. Our professional services revenues increased significantly to $506,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to $138,000 in the comparable period in the prior year. Our enterprise product revenues decreased by approximately 31% to $434,000, compared to $629,000 for the same period in the prior year. Included in revenues for the first six months of 2008 was a one-time project cancellation fee of $973,000 recorded in the first quarter of 2008 for unique customer requirements for product development work that was discontinued. All other revenues decreased approximately 6% to $382,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009 from $406,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2008.
Gross Margin
For the three months ended June 30, 2009, gross margin, as a percentage of sales, was 55% compared to 47% for the same period in the prior year. The increase in our gross margin percentage in the second quarter of 2009 was primarily due to a revenue mix shift toward higher margin products. Additionally, gross margin percentage was favorably impacted by improved utilization of our manufacturing facility.
Gross margin as a percentage of sales was 57% and 53% for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The increase in gross margin is primarily due to two factors. During the six months ended June 30, 2009, we experienced a favorable shift in our product mix toward higher margin products when compared to the same period in the prior year. Also, contributing to the increase in our gross margin percentage was an increase in factory utilization in the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the same period in the prior year. These factors were partially offset by the effect of the $973,000 project cancellation charge in the first quarter of 2008 described earlier, which had no cost associated with it. We believe that pricing pressures in the industry may dampen our gross margin in future periods and it may continue to be challenging to entirely offset these pressures with incremental supplier cost reductions and factory productivity improvements.

Research and Development
Our investment in the development of new products through research and development was $1.9 million and $2.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The decrease in research and development expense is primarily due to several factors. First, we had a reduction in project related expense of approximately $225,000 compared to the second quarter of 2008. Second, much of our research and development resources are located in France and as such those costs are subject to exchange rate fluctuations with the Euro and the Dollar. The Dollar was significantly stronger against the Euro in the second quarter of 2009 compared to the second quarter of 2008. This exchange rate fluctuation resulted in a decrease to research and development expense of approximately $160,000, compared to the same period last year. Third, included in research and development expenses in the second quarter of 2008 was a charge of approximately $115,000 related to software that was originally purchased for the development of a product that was subsequently discontinued. There was no such charge during the second quarter of 2009. Finally, the reduced headcount and facility expense resulting from the restructuring plan we undertook in the first quarter of 2008 decreased research and development expense by approximately $40,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2009, compared to the same period in the prior year. See Note 7 in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on the restructuring plan. As a percentage of total revenue, research and development expense was approximately 24% in the second quarter of 2009 as compared to approximately 38% for the same period for the prior year. The decrease in research and development expense as a percentage of total revenue is due to research and development expense decreasing while revenue increased for the period.
Our investment in research and development was $4.0 million and $5.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The decrease in research and development expense is primarily due to several factors. First, we had a reduction in project related expense of $465,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to the same period in the prior year. Second, the reduced headcount and facility expense resulting from the restructuring plan we undertook in the first quarter of 2008 decreased research and development expense by approximately $345,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to the same period in the prior year. Third, a significantly stronger Dollar against the Euro in 2009 resulted in a decrease to research and development expense of approximately $340,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to the same period last year. Finally, there were charges of approximately $185,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2008 related to software purchased for the development of products that were subsequently discontinued. There were no such charges during the six months ended June 30, 2009. As a percentage of total revenue, research and development expense was approximately 24% for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 38% for the six months ended June 30, 2008. The decrease in research and development expense as a percentage of total revenue is due to research and development expense decreasing while revenue increased for the period.
Sales and Marketing
Sales and marketing expenses were $1.6 million and $1.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The increase in sales and marketing expense is primarily due to increased headcount in business development, product management and marketing. The increased headcount resulted in an increase in sales and marketing expense of approximately $230,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the second quarter of 2008. Sales and marketing expense also increased as a result of increased commission and variable compensation expense of approximately $155,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the same period in the prior year. As a percentage of total revenue, sales and marketing expense was approximately 20% for the second quarter of 2009 and 19% for the second quarter of 2008. The increase in sales and marketing expenses as a percentage of total revenue is due to sales and marketing expense increasing at a higher rate than revenue. We will continue to monitor the level of sales and marketing costs concurrently with actual revenue and profit results.

Table of Contents

Sales and marketing expenses were $3.1 million and $2.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The increase in sales and marketing expense is primarily due to increased headcount in business development, product management and marketing. The increased headcount resulted in an increase in sales and marketing expense of approximately $360,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009 compated to the same period in 2008. Additionally, sales and marketing expense increased as a result of increased commission and variable compensation expense of approximately $315,000 as a result of higher revenues for the first six months of 2009, compared to the same period in 2008. These two increases were partially offset by a significantly stronger Dollar against the Euro in 2009 resulting in a decrease to sales and marketing expense of approximately $140,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to the same period last year. Additionally, sales and marketing expenses decreased as a result of the restructuring plan we undertook in the first quarter of 2008 resulting in a reduction of headcount expenses of approximately $138,000 in the first six months of 2009 compared to the same period in 2008. See Note 7 in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more information. As a percentage of total revenue, sales and marketing expense was approximately 19% for both the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008.
General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses were $1.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008. As a percentage of total revenue, general and administrative expenses were approximately 14% in the second quarter of 2009 and 16% for the same period in the prior year. The decrease as a percentage of revenue is due to revenues increasing while general and administrative expense remained relatively consistent. We will continue to monitor the level of general and administrative costs concurrently with actual revenue and profit results.
General and administrative expenses were $2.3 million and $2.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The increase in general and administrative expense is primarily driven by an increased utilization of outside providers for accounting, consulting and legal services, which accounted for approximately $175,000 of the increase. The remainder of the increase relates primarily to the funding of potential variable compensation awards that are being accrued, as it is more likely than not that we will achieve certain targets outlined in the variable compensation plan for 2009. As a percentage of total revenue, general and administrative expense was approximately 14% for both the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008.
Restructuring Charge
On March 27, 2008, we adopted a plan to restructure our United States based business operations to balance our current spending with recent revenue trends. The primary goal of the restructuring program was to improve our ability to invest in future business opportunities that are designed to provide us with increased growth potential and greater revenue diversification in the coming years and better align our skills with our future direction. Under the restructuring plan, we reduced our workforce by 14 employees. As a result of the restructuring program, the Company recorded a restructuring charge of $38,000, classified as operating expense, during the second quarter of 2008 associated with lease obligations related to a facility closure. During the six months ended June 30, 2008, the Company recorded restructuring charges of $403,000, classified as operating expense, related to severance and fringe benefits and lease obligations. See Note 7 in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more information. There were no such restructuring activities during 2009.
Interest Income, Net
Interest income, net of interest expense, decreased to $78,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2009 from $123,000 in the comparable period in the prior year. Interest income, net of interest expense, was $178,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and $286,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2008. The decrease in interest income, net for each period primarily relates to lower rates of return on our investments during the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the same periods in 2008, resulting in decreased interest income during the periods.
Other (Loss) Income, Net
Other loss, net, was $3,000 and $6,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively. Other income, net was $22,000 and $325,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively. The other loss, net during the periods presented for 2009 primarily relates to changes in foreign currency related to supplier invoices. During 2008, the other income, net was the result of the change in market value of our foreign exchange derivative financial instruments which resulted in income of approximately $30,000 and $346,000 for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively. During, the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, we have had no such foreign exchange derivative financial instruments. See Note 5 in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more information.

Income Taxes
Our tax benefit rate for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was 155%, compared to a tax benefit rate of 32% for the six months ended June 30, 2008.
The effective tax rate differed from the U.S. statutory rate as we continued to provide a full valuation allowance for our net deferred tax assets at June 30, 2009 and June 30, 2008. During each of the six months ended June 30, 2009 and June 30, 2008, we recorded a tax benefit related to our operations in France. This benefit was primarily the result of a 30% research and development tax credit.
Net Income (Loss)
We reported a net income of $74,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and net loss of $1.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008. Basic and diluted earnings per share for the three months ended June 30, 2009 was $0.01. Basic loss per share for the three months ended June 30, 2008 was ($0.18). The Company reported a net income of $781,000 and a net loss of $1.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and June 30, 2008, respectively. Basic and diluted earnings per share for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was $0.11. Basic loss per share for the six months ended June 30, 2008 was ($0.26).
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Consolidated Cash Flows
Cash and cash equivalents increased $3.8 million from December 31, 2008 to June 30, 2009 and decreased $1.1 million from December 31, 2007 to June 30, 2008. Cash flows are impacted by operating, investing and financing activities.
Operating Activities
Trends in cash flows from operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 are generally similar to the trends in our earnings except for provision for uncollectible accounts and returns, provision for excess and obsolete inventories, depreciation and amortization, amortization of restricted stock and write-off of impaired capitalized software. Cash provided by operating activities totaled $1.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to a net income of $781,000. Provision for uncollectible accounts and returns increased $53,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the same period in 2008. Provision for excess and obsolete inventories increased by $100,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to the same period in 2008. Depreciation and amortization decreased slightly for the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the same period in 2008. Amortization of restricted stock increased $68,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2008. See Note 2 in Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on restricted stock. Write-offs of impaired capitalized software decreased by $185,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the same period in 2008.
Changes in assets and liabilities result primarily from the timing of production, sales, purchases and payments. Such changes in assets and liabilities generally tend to even out over time and result in trends in cash flows from operating activities generally reflecting earnings trends.
Investing Activities
Cash provided by investing activities totaled $2.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009, primarily driven by the sale of marketable securities. Cash used in investing activities totaled $260,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2008. Cash provided by or used in investing activities in each of the periods presented related principally to proceeds from the sale of marketable securities, disbursements for additions to property and equipment, capitalized software and our investments in marketable securities. Additions to property and equipment and capitalized software were $202,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to $253,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2008. The additions for the six months ended June 30, 2009 primarily related to enhancements to our enterprise performance management system and software purchases for our engineering function. The additions for the six months ended June 30, 2008 primarily related to software and equipment purchases for our engineering and manufacturing functions. Purchases of marketable securities were $2.9 million and $4.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Proceeds from the sale of marketable securities increased to $5.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to $4.8 million for the same period in 2008.

Financing Activities
There was no net cash provided by or used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2009. Net cash provided by financing activities totaled $2,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2008 related to proceeds from employees exercising stock options.
Commitments
Commitments
At June 30, 2009, we had no material commitments to purchase capital assets. However, planned capital expenditures for the remainder of 2009 are estimated at approximately $235,000, a significant portion of which relates to engineering equipment and tools. The remaining planned purchases relate to enhancement to our manufacturing and general office equipment. Our significant long-term obligations as of June 30, 2009, are our operating leases on facilities and future debt payments related to our credit facility. To date, we have not paid any dividends and do not anticipate paying any dividends in 2009.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
At June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements including foreign exchange contracts.
Other
Management believes that cash generated from operations and borrowing availability under the revolving credit facility, together with cash on hand, will be sufficient to meet our liquidity needs for working capital, capital expenditures and debt service. To the extent that our actual operating results or other developments differ from our expectations, our liquidity could be adversely affected.
We periodically evaluate our liquidity requirements, alternative uses of capital, capital needs and available resources in view of, among other things, our capital expenditure requirements and estimated future operating cash flows. As a result of this process, we have in the past, and may in the future, seek to raise additional capital, refinance or restructure indebtedness, issue additional securities, repurchase shares of our common stock or take a combination of such steps to manage our liquidity and capital resources. In the normal course of business, we may review opportunities for acquisitions, joint ventures or other business combinations. In the event of any such transaction, we may consider using available cash, issuing additional equity securities or increasing our indebtedness or our subsidiaries’ indebtedness.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and other material included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.
Item 3. 
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Foreign Currency Risk
We are exposed to adverse movements in foreign currency exchange rates because we conduct business on a global basis and in some cases in foreign currencies. Our operations in France are measured in the local currency and converted into U.S. Dollars based on published exchange rates for the periods reported and are therefore subject to risk of exchange rate fluctuations. The Euro to U.S. Dollar translation accounted for charges of approximately $459,000 and $745,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2009, and 2008, respectively. The Euro to U.S. Dollar translation accounted for charges of approximately $879,000 and $1.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

In an attempt to mitigate the risk described above, we may enter into, from time to time, foreign exchange contracts to purchase a fixed amount of Euros on a fixed date in the future at a fixed rate determined at the contract date. These derivative financial instruments do not meet the criteria to qualify as hedges under SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” and therefore any change in the market value of these contracts resulting in a gain or loss is recognized as other (loss) income, net in the period of the change. There were no foreign exchange contracts held by the Company at any point during the three or six months ended June 30, 2009, and thus there was no related gain or loss. For the three months and six months ended June 30, 2008, we recognized a gain of approximately $30,000 and $346,000, respectively, related to these foreign exchange contracts. There were no foreign exchange contracts outstanding at June 30, 2009 or December 31, 2008.
Market Price Risk
We had no equity hedge contracts outstanding as of June 30, 2009 or December 31, 2008.
Interest Rate Risk
Our investments are subject to interest rate risk. Interest rate risk is the risk that our financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected due to movements in interest rates. We invest our cash in a variety of interest-earning financial instruments, including bank time deposits, money market funds, and variable rate and fixed rate obligations of corporations and national governmental entities and agencies. Due to the demand nature of our money market funds and the short-term nature of our time deposits and debt securities portfolio, these assets are particularly sensitive to changes in interest rates. We manage this risk through investments with shorter-term maturities and varying maturity dates.
A hypothetical 50 basis point increase in interest rates would be expected to result in an approximate decrease of less than 1% in the fair value of our available-for-sale securities at June 30, 2009. This potential change is based on sensitivity analyses performed on our marketable securities at June 30, 2009. Actual results may differ materially. We estimate that the same hypothetical 50 basis point increase in interest rates would have resulted in an approximate decrease of less than 1% in the fair value of our available-for-sale securities at December 31, 2008.
We maintain a $5.0 million revolving bank credit facility maturing December 19, 2013 with an applicable interest rate on any outstanding balances under the credit facility based on LIBOR plus 1.0%, if LIBOR is greater than 2.5%, otherwise the applicable margin rate is 1.5%. At June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, our interest rate on the $3.5 million borrowings under the revolving credit facility was 2.1% and 2.2%, respectively. The unused portion of the credit facility is subject to an unused facility fee ranging from .25% to .75% depending on total deposits with the creditor. All borrowings under this facility are secured by marketable securities and were classified as long-term debt on the accompanying balance sheets.
Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company’s management, under the supervision of our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. Based on that evaluation, the CEO and CFO concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed and, are effective, to give reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including the CEO and CFO, to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure and that information is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC.
Changes in Internal Controls
The Company maintains a system of internal controls that is designed to provide reasonable assurance that its books and records accurately reflect, in all material respects, the transactions of the Company and that its established policies and procedures are adhered to. There were no changes to the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2009 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
