Brightpoint, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)
1. Basis of Presentation
General
The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes necessary for fair presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Operating results from interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the fiscal year as a whole. The Company is subject to seasonal patterns that generally affect the wireless device industry. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates, but management does not believe such differences will materially affect Brightpoint, Inc.’s financial position or results of operations. The Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all adjustments considered, in the opinion of management, necessary to fairly present the results for the periods. Such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.
For further information, including the Company’s significant accounting policies, refer to the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and the notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2009. As used herein, the terms “Brightpoint”, “Company”, “we”, “our” and “us” mean Brightpoint, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In October 2009, the FASB issued ASC update No. 2009-13, Revenue Recognition, (“ASC Update No. 2009-13”), which addresses the accounting for multiple-deliverable arrangements to enable vendors to account for products or services (deliverables) separately rather than as a combined unit. Specifically, the guidance amends the criteria in FASB ASC Subtopic 605-25, Revenue Recognition-Multiple-Element Arrangements, for separating consideration in multiple-deliverable arrangements. The guidance establishes a selling price hierarchy for determining the selling price of a deliverable, which is based on: (a) vendor-specific objective evidence; (b) third-party evidence; or (c) estimates. The guidance also eliminates the residual method of allocation and requires that arrangement consideration be allocated at the inception of the arrangement to all deliverables using the relative selling price method. In addition, the guidance significantly expands required disclosures related to a vendor’s multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements. ASC Update No. 2009-13 is effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. The adoption of ASC Update No. 2009-13 is not expected to have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 166, Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets, which was codified under ASC update No. 2009-16, Transfers and Servicing, (“ASC Update No. 2009-16”). The update amended ASC Topic 860 to improve the disclosures that a reporting entity provides in its financial reports about a transfer of financial assets; the effects of a transfer on its financial position, financial performance, and cash flows; and a transferor’s continuing involvement in transferred financial assets. This update is effective January 1, 2010 and must be applied to transfers occurring on or after the effective date. The pronouncement had no effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
The Company is exposed to certain risks related to its ongoing business activities. The primary risks managed by the use of derivative instruments are interest rate risk and foreign currency fluctuation risk. Interest rate swaps are entered into in order to manage interest rate risk associated with the Company’s variable rate borrowings. Forward contracts are entered into to manage the foreign currency risk associated with various commitments arising from trade accounts receivable, trade accounts payable and fixed purchase obligations. The Company holds the following types of derivatives at June 30, 2010 that have been designated as hedging instruments:

6


 

     
Derivative   Risk Being Hedged
Interest rate swaps
  Cash flows of interest payments on variable rate debt
Forward foreign currency contracts
  Cash flows of forecasted inventory purchases denominated in foreign currency
Derivatives are held only for the purpose of hedging such risks, not for speculation. Generally, the Company enters into hedging relationships such that the cash flows of items and transactions being hedged are expected to be offset by corresponding changes in the values of the derivatives. At June 30, 2010, a hedging relationship exists related to $50.0 million of the Company’s variable rate debt. These swaps are accounted for as cash flow hedges. These interest rate swap transactions effectively lock in a fixed interest rate for variable rate interest payments that are expected to be made from July 1, 2010 through January 31, 2012. Under the terms of the swaps, the Company will pay a fixed rate and will receive a variable rate based on the three month USD LIBOR rate plus a credit spread. The unrealized gain associated with the effective portion of the interest rate swaps included in other comprehensive income was $0.2 million and $0.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010.
The Company enters into foreign currency forward contracts with the objective of reducing exposure to cash flow volatility from foreign currency fluctuations associated with anticipated purchases of inventory. Certain of these contracts are accounted for as cash flow hedges. The unrealized loss associated with the effective portion of these contracts included in other comprehensive income was approximately $0.9 million and $0.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, all of which is expected to be reclassified into earnings within the next 12 months.
The fair value of interest rate swaps in the Consolidated Balance Sheets is a liability of $2.9 million. The fair value of the interest rate swap maturing within one year is included in “Accrued expenses” in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The fair value of the interest rate swap maturing after one year is included in “Other long-term liabilities” in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The fair value of forward foreign currency contracts for forecasted inventory purchases denominated in foreign currency is an asset of $0.9 million included in “Other current assets” in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as well as a liability of $1.6 million included in “Accrued expenses” in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other current assets, accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of those instruments. The carrying amount at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 of the Company’s borrowings approximate their fair value because these borrowings bear interest at a variable (market) rate.
The Company utilizes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value of certain financial assets and financial liabilities into three broad levels. As of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Company classified its financial assets and financial liabilities as Level 2. The financial assets and liabilities were measured using quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.
The following table summarizes the bases used to measure certain financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis in the balance sheet (in thousands):

2. Restructuring
The restructuring reserve balance as of December 31, 2009 was $6.0 million, which related to severance payments to be made as part of the global workforce reduction initiative included in the 2009 Spending and Debt Reduction Plan. The most significant reductions in the reserve were made in the Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) division due to payments made related to the Company’s centralization and consolidation of services for the entities in that region. Reserve activity for the six months ended June 30, 2010 for continuing operations is as follows (in thousands):

Restructuring charge was $1.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The restructuring charge consists of the following:
    $1.7 million of severance charges in connection with additional workforce reduction that was included as part of the Company’s previously announced 2009 Spending and Debt Reduction Plan.

    $0.1 million of charges for the termination of an operating lease for our facility in Austria.
The Company continues to focus on optimizing the operating and financial structure of its EMEA division, which will result in additional opportunities to improve financial performance in this region. A main strategic component of this plan revolves around consolidating our current warehouse facilities and creating strategically located hubs or “Centers of Excellence” (supply chain delivery centers) to streamline operations. Additionally, the Company continues to centralize and migrate many business support (or back office) functions in the EMEA region into a Shared Services Center. Both of these initiatives could result in future reductions in workforce that would result in additional restructuring charges.
3. Income Taxes
Income tax expense was $3.9 million and $8.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to income tax expense of $1.7 million and $0.5 million for the same periods in the prior year.
Income tax expense for the three months ended June 30, 2010 included $0.3 million of income tax expense related to discrete income tax expenses.
Income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2010 included $0.8 million of income tax expense related to valuation allowances on deferred tax assets resulting from previous net operating losses in certain countries that are no longer expected to be utilized as well as $1.1 million of other income tax expense related to income tax return to provision adjustments and other discrete income tax expenses.
Excluding these charges, the effective income tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 was 32.7% and 30.9%.

8. Legal Proceedings and Contingencies
LN Eurocom
On June 11, 2008 LN Eurocom (“LNE”) filed a lawsuit in the City Court of Frederiksberg, Denmark against Brightpoint Smartphone A/S and Brightpoint International A/S, each a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (collectively, “Smartphone”). The lawsuit alleges that Smartphone breached a contract relating to call center services performed or to be performed by LNE. The total amount now claimed is approximately 13 million DKK (approximately $2.1 million as of June 30, 2010). Smartphone disputes this claim and intends to vigorously defend this matter.
Fleggaard group of companies
The former headquarters of Dangaard Telecom was located in premises rented from a member of the Fleggaard group of companies, which was a former shareholder of Dangaard Telecom. A fire in March 2006 caused by another tenant in the building destroyed the headquarters and Dangaard Telecom had to leave the building while awaiting renovation of its space. Because of Fleggaard’s failure to renovate the space, Dangaard Telecom terminated the lease. Fleggaard has disputed the lease termination and has claimed $1.4 million in damages. Dangaard Telecom continues to dispute this claim and intends to vigorously defend this matter.
Norwegian tax authorities
Dangaard Telecom’s subsidiary, Dangaard Telecom Norway AS Group, received notice from the Norwegian tax authorities regarding tax claims in connection with certain capital gains. The Norwegian tax authorities have claimed $2.7 million. Dangaard Telecom Norway AS Group has disputed this claim; however, the Norwegian Tax Authorities ruled against Dangaard Telecom Norway AS in April 2008. On February 3, 2009, the Norwegian Tax Authorities determined that the capital gains were within Brightpoint Norway’s core business and, therefore, that Brightpoint Norway was responsible for tax on the gain in the amount of 8.1 million NOK (approximately $1.2 million as of June 30, 2010). On February 19, 2010 the magistrate hearing the appeal ruled in favor of the Norwegian Tax Authorities. Brightpoint Norway has filed its appeal of this determination by the initiation of court proceedings to a higher authority. The former shareholders of Dangaard Telecom agreed to indemnify Dangaard Holding with respect to 80% of this claim when Dangaard Holding acquired Dangaard Telecom, and Dangaard Holding agreed in the purchase agreement with the Company to transfer and assign these indemnification rights to the Company (or enforce them on our behalf if such transfer or assignment is not permitted).
German tax authorities
Dangaard Telecom’s subsidiary, Dangaard Telecom Germany Holding GmbH, received notice from the German tax authorities regarding tax claims in connection with the deductibility of certain stock adjustments and various fees during the period 1998 to 2002. Dangaard Telecom Germany Holding GmbH agreed to pay part of the claim, and the current amount in dispute is $1.8 million. Dangaard Telecom Germany Holding GmbH continues to dispute this claim and intends to defend this matter vigorously. The former shareholders of Dangaard Telecom are obliged to indemnify Dangaard Holding with respect to any such tax claims. Due to the claim’s limited size, however, it will be below an agreed upon threshold, therefore the indemnification would not be activated by this claim if no other claims for indemnification have been or are asserted.
Sofaer Global Hedge Fund
In September 2009, Sofaer Global Hedge Fund (“Sofaer GHF”) filed a complaint against Brightpoint, Inc. and Brightpoint’s CEO Robert Laikin (“Laikin”) in the U.S. District Court in Indiana alleging that Laikin made materially false and misleading statements to Michael Sofaer (“Sofaer”), the head of Sofaer GHF. The central allegation is that Sofaer GHF reasonably and detrimentally relied upon Laikin’s statements in making a $10 million loan to Chinatron Group Holdings Ltd., a company that owed money to Brightpoint and in which John Maclean Arnott is the Managing Director. Sofaer GHF brought the action for damages resulting from Brightpoint’s alleged fraudulent misrepresentations and based upon their alleged detrimental reliance (promissory estoppel) upon these statements, from which Brightpoint is claimed to have benefited. The Company disputes these claims and intends to vigorously defend this matter.
Drillisch
On January 29, 2010, Drillisch AG (“Drillisch”) commenced litigation against Brightpoint Germany GmbH (“Brightpoint Germany”) with the Krefeld District Court seeking approximately EUR 1.8 million (approximately

12


 

$2.2 million as of June 30, 2010) in damages. Drillisch claims Brightpoint Germany failed to provide Drillisch credits for Brightpoint Germany’s alleged failure to achieve certain outbound shipping service levels it claims Brightpoint Germany owed to it and several of its affiliates in connection with Brightpoint Germany’s performance of logistics services. Brightpoint Germany disputes this claim and intends to vigorously defend this matter.
DiBardi/Bardi/Fortis
In July 2009, Fortis Commercial Finance, SPA (“Fortis”) commenced proceedings against Brightpoint Italy, Srl (“Brightpoint Italy”) in the Courts of Milan, Italy. Fortis sought a declaration of debt and an injunction decree requiring precautionary payment by Brightpoint Italy Srl in the amount of EUR 840,000 (approximately $1.0 million as of June 30, 2010). Fortis claims that Brightpoint Italy failed to pay amounts owed under a supply agreement with Di Bardi, Srl (“DiBardi”) and that this debt claim was then assigned by DeBardi to Fortis. In April 2010 the Courts of Milan ruled in favor of Fortis on its claim for precautionary payment ahead of a hearing on the merits. At the current time, Fortis’ claim for precautionary payment is fully enforceable against Brightpoint Italy but has not been paid. A hearing on the merits of the claim is scheduled for December 2010 and Brightpoint Italy intends to vigorously defend this matter.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
OVERVIEW AND RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes. Our discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of any contingent assets and liabilities at the financial statement date and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis we review our estimates and assumptions. Our estimates were based on our historical experience and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates but we do not believe such differences will materially affect our financial position or results of operations. Our critical accounting estimates, the estimates we believe are most important to the presentation of our financial statements and require the most difficult, subjective and complex judgments are outlined in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009, and have not changed significantly. Certain statements made in this report may contain forward-looking statements. For a description of risks and uncertainties relating to such forward-looking statements, see the cautionary statements contained in Exhibit 99.1 to this report and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.
Brightpoint, Inc. is a global leader in providing supply chain solutions to the wireless industry. We provide customized logistic services including procurement, inventory management, software loading, kitting and customized packaging, fulfillment, credit services and receivables management, call center and activation services, website hosting, e-fulfillment solutions, reverse logistics, transportation management and other services within the global wireless industry. Our customers include mobile network operators, mobile virtual network operators (MVNOs), resellers, retailers and wireless equipment manufacturers. We provide value-added distribution channel management and other supply chain solutions for wireless products manufactured by companies such as Apple, High Tech Computer Corp., Kyocera, LG Electronics, Motorola, Nokia, Research in Motion, Samsung and Sony Ericsson. We have operations centers and/or sales offices in various countries including Australia, Austria, Belgium, Colombia, Denmark, El Salvador, Finland, Germany, Guatemala, Hong Kong, India, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Singapore, Slovakia, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Arab Emirates, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
Consolidated revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 increased 11% and 13% compared to the same periods in the prior year. Consolidated revenue was $788.6 million and $1.6 billion for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010. The increase was primarily driven by an 18% and 20% increase in wireless devices handled. Revenue increased in our EMEA and Asia-Pacific divisions as a result of expanded distribution relationships with wireless device manufacturers.
During the second quarter of 2010, we incurred $0.7 million of restructuring costs which were primarily related to the global workforce reduction plan that was included as part of the 2009 Spending and Debt Reduction Plan.
SG&A expenses totaled $53.7 million and $110.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, which is an increase of $5.0 million and $11.3 million from the same periods in the prior year. The primary reason for the increase in SG&A expenses is due to the reinstatement of previously avoided expenses that had been temporarily suspended as part of our 2009 Spending and Debt Reduction Plan. In 2009, the Company suspended first half staff bonuses, full year merit increases, executive cash bonuses, and temporarily held down spending on other expenses such as travel and marketing. SG&A expenses were also higher by $0.6 million and $5.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same periods in the prior year due to fluctuations in foreign currencies.

The decrease in wireless devices sold through distribution for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 was driven by the loss of a significant customer in Colombia during the third quarter of 2009. The increase in distribution average selling price for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 was driven by a shift in mix to smartphones compared to the same periods in the prior year.
The increase in wireless devices handled through logistic services for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 was primarily driven by increased demand for prepaid and fixed-fee wireless subscriptions (the primary product offering of certain Brightpoint logistics services customers), new market entry of incumbent customers, expanded service offerings, and the addition of new logistics services customers. The increase in non-handset based logistic services revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 was primarily due to an increase in services billed compared to the same periods in the prior year.

The decrease in wireless devices sold through distribution in our Asia-Pacific division for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 was primarily driven by decreased volume of devices sold to customers served by our Singapore business as a result of a reduction of purchases from a significant supplier. The reduction in sales was due to many factors including: foreign currency fluctuations that allowed traders from other regions to sell wireless devices into markets served by our Singapore business at lower prices than those available to us directly from this supplier; and the supplier has experienced management and organizational changes, resulting in de-emphasizing distribution from our Singapore operations and lowering, or eventually eliminating, its allocation of saleable products to us.
Revenue from sales of wireless devices handled in Singapore for this supplier were approximately $70.0 million and 747,000 for the second quarter of 2010 compared to approximately $125.0 million and 1.1 million for the second quarter of 2009. Sales and wireless devices handled in Singapore for this supplier were approximately $175.4 million and 1.6 million for the first six months of 2010 compared to approximately $228.4 million and 2.4 million for the first six months of 2009. Revenue from sales of devices in Singapore for this supplier was approximately $24 million for July 2010. We can give no assurances revenue and wireless devices handled for this wireless device supplier in Singapore will return to historical levels in future periods. In 2009, we began expanding relationships with other manufacturers and we continue to diversify our business within the Asia-Pacific region in an attempt to mitigate the risk in future periods of excess concentration of business with a limited number of suppliers. There is no certainty we will be successful in replacing the declining sales of devices from our primary supplier in our Singapore operation. Other Brightpoint operations have not experienced similar declines in revenue and wireless devices handled for this supplier.
The decrease in revenue from the decrease in wireless devices sold was offset by an increase in average selling price, which was driven by a shift in mix to smartphones due to higher demand and availability of these devices compared to the same period in the prior year as well as an expanded relationship in the region with a wireless device manufacturer. We can give no assurances that the revenue generated as a result of this expanded relationship in the region will continue in future periods at the same level as in the first half of 2010.
The increase in wireless devices handled through logistic services for the six months ended June 30, 2010 was primarily driven by an increase in wireless devices handled for our largest customer in Australia and New Zealand. Until the second quarter of 2009, our customer in New Zealand was previously served under a distribution agreement. The decrease in average fulfillment fee per unit for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 was primarily due to an unfavorable mix of services provided compared to the same periods in the prior year. The

increase in non-handset based logistic services revenue was primarily due to an increase in services billed compared to the same period in the prior year.

The increase in wireless devices sold through distribution for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 was primarily due to an increase in units sold through our Middle East operation due to an expanded relationship with a device manufacturer and an increase in units sold at our Great Britain entity due to a new distribution agreement with a device manufacturer that began in the third quarter of 2009. We can give no assurances that the revenue generated as a result of this new distribution agreement in Great Britain will continue in future periods at the same level as in the first half of 2010. The decrease in average selling price for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 was due to a shift in mix of wireless devices sold. The decrease in non-handset based distribution revenue was primarily due to a decrease in sales of non-handset based navigation devices compared to the same periods in the prior year.
The increase in wireless devices handled through logistic services and the decrease in average fulfillment fee per unit for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 was driven by expanded services at our South Africa entity that have a lower fee structure than other services in the region. Non-handset based logistic services revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 decreased due to the change in the reporting of revenue from the sale of

20


 

prepaid airtime in Sweden. In the fourth quarter of 2009 we began reporting the revenue associated with these agreements on a net basis as defined by Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Section 605-45 (formerly Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 99-19) as general inventory risk has been mitigated. The revenue under these agreements was previously reported on a gross basis within logistic services revenue. Had the revenue from these agreements been reported on a net basis, logistic services revenue for the EMEA division would have been approximately $18.9 million and $34.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009.

The 0.5 percentage point increase in gross margin for the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same period in the prior year was driven by a 5.9 percentage point increase in gross margin from our logistic services business and a 1.4 percentage point increase in gross margin from our distribution business. The 0.4 percentage point increase in gross margin for the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same period in the prior year was driven by a 6.6 percentage point increase in gross margin from our logistic services business and a 0.9 percentage point increase in gross margin from our distribution business. The increase in total gross margin is partially offset by a shift in mix of gross margin to distribution, which lowers total gross margin.
The increase in gross profit and gross margin from distribution for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 was driven by a favorable mix of wireless devices sold compared to the same periods in the prior year as well as one-time charges in Spain and the Netherlands recorded in the second quarter of 2009 that did not recur.
The decrease in gross profit from logistic services for the three months ended June 30, 2010 was primarily due to a reduction in average fees received per wireless device handled in North America driven by a change in sales mix. The increase in gross margin from logistic services for the three months ended June 30, 2010 was driven by the change in reporting of revenue from the sale of prepaid airtime in Sweden discussed above. Had the revenue from these agreements been reported on a net basis for the three months ended June 30, 2009, total gross margin would have been 8.7% and logistic services margin would have been 55.3%. This decline in gross margin is primarily due to due to an unfavorable shift in the mix of services provided in our Americas and EMEA divisions.
The increase in gross profit from logistic services for the six months ended June 30, 2010 was primarily due to an increase in services provided in EMEA. The increase in gross margin from logistic services for the six months ended June 30, 2010 was driven by the change in reporting of revenue from the sale of prepaid airtime in Sweden discussed above. Had the revenue from these agreements been reported on a net basis for the six months ended June 30, 2009, total gross margin would have been 8.9% and logistic services margin would have been 52.6%.

SG&A expenses
  $ 53,697     $ 48,738       (10 %)   $ 110,353     $ 99,052       (11 %)
The increase in SG&A expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same periods in the prior year was primarily due to the reinstatement of cash bonuses for staff and executives. SG&A expenses for cash bonuses were $3.8 million and $7.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010. Cash bonuses were suspended in the first half of 2009 for staff and for all of 2009 for executives as part of the 2009 Spending and Debt Reduction Plan. In 2009, we also suspended full year merit increases to base salaries and temporarily held down spending on other expenses such as travel and marketing. SG&A expenses were also higher by $0.6 million and $5.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same period in the prior year due to fluctuations in foreign currencies.
SG&A expenses included $2.4 million and $5.6 million of non-cash stock based compensation expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to $1.6 million and $3.3 million for the same periods in the prior year. The increase in non-cash stock based compensation compared to the same periods in the prior year was primarily due to an incremental $1.5 million of additional stock based compensation expense resulting from discretionary awards of restricted stock units granted by our Board of Directors in February 2010. These awards vested on the grant date.
Amortization Expense
Amortization expense was $3.6 million and $7.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to $3.9 million and $7.7 million for the same periods in the prior year. The decrease in amortization expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same periods in the prior year is primarily due to fluctuations in foreign currencies.
Restructuring Charge
Restructuring charge was $0.7 million and $1.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010. The restructuring charge primarily consists of severance charges in connection with continued global entity consolidation and rationalization.
Restructuring charge was $3.7 million and $8.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009. The restructuring charge primarily consisted of severance charges in connection with the global workforce reduction announced as part of the 2009 Spending and Debt Reduction Plan.

Operating income in our Americas division increased $0.7 million and $1.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 primarily due to increased operating profitability and a reduction in restructuring charges. The increase in operating income as a percent of revenue of 0.4 percentage points for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 was driven by a shift in the mix of revenue due to an increase in logistic services revenue as well as a decrease in distribution revenue.
Operating income in our Asia-Pacific division decreased $0.5 million and 0.3 percentage points as a percent of revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2010 primarily driven by a reduction of sales in Singapore related to the reduction in purchases from a significant vendor discussed above. Operating income decreased $2.4 million due to the reduction of units purchased from this vendor. This decrease was partially offset by incremental operating income from our expanded relationship in the region with other wireless device manufacturers.
Operating income in our Asia-Pacific division increased $2.3 million and 0.2 percentage points as a percent of revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2010 primarily due to incremental operating income from our expanded relationships in the region with certain wireless device manufacturers, partially offset by a reduction of sales in Singapore related to the reduction in purchases from a significant vendor discussed above. The reduction in operating income related to the decrease in purchases from this vendor was $2.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010.
Operating income in our EMEA division increased $9.2 million and 2.2 percentage points as a percent of revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2010, and operating income increased $17.3 million and 2.3 percentage points as a percent of revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The increases are primarily due to incremental gross profit in Great Britain and the Middle East related to new distribution agreements with wireless device manufacturers, increased profitability due to a favorable shift in wireless devices sold, improved market conditions, as well as a reduction of restructuring charges compared to the same periods in the prior year.
Operating loss from our corporate function increased $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 due an increase in expenses in the second quarter of 2010 for costs that were previously avoided as part of the 2009 Spending and Debt Reduction Plan, such as the reinstatement of cash bonuses for staff and executives and travel,

Interest expense includes interest on outstanding debt, charges for accounts receivable factoring programs, fees paid for unused capacity on credit lines and amortization of deferred financing fees.
The decrease in interest expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same periods in the prior year was primarily due to lower interest rates on our Eurodollar denominated debt compared to the same period in the prior year. The average Euro-based LIBOR rate in the first half of 2010 was 0.4% compared to 1.3% for the same period in prior year.
Other Income
Other income was $0.1 million and $0.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to $3.6 million and $1.3 million for the same periods in the prior year. The reduction in other income was primarily due to a reduction in foreign currency gains.

Income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2010 included $0.8 million of income tax expense related to valuation allowances on deferred tax assets resulting from previous net operating losses in certain countries that are no longer expected to be utilized as well as $1.1 million of other income tax expense related to income tax return to provision adjustments and other discrete income tax expenses.
Excluding these charges, the effective income tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 was 32.7% and 30.9%.
Discontinued Operations
The consolidated statements of operations reflect the reclassification of the results of operations of our Italy and France businesses to discontinued operations for all periods presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. We abandoned our Italy business in the first quarter of 2010 and our France business in the third quarter of 2009.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Liquidity Analysis
We measure liquidity as the sum of total unrestricted cash and unused borrowing availability, and we use this measurement as an indicator of how much access to cash we have to either grow the business through investment in new markets, acquisitions, or through expansion of existing service or product lines or to contend with adversity such as unforeseen operating losses potentially caused by reduced demand for our products and services, material uncollectible accounts receivable, or material inventory write-downs. The table below shows our liquidity calculation.
                         
    June 30,   December 31,    
(Amounts in 000s)   2010   2009   % Change
Unrestricted cash
  $ 17,503     $ 80,536       (78 %)
Unused borrowing availability
    314,794       345,665       (9 %)
     
Liquidity
  $ 332,297     $ 426,201       (22 %)

Funds generated by operating activities, available unrestricted cash, and our unused borrowing availability continue to be our most significant sources of liquidity. However, we may not have access to all of the unused borrowing availability because of covenant restrictions in our credit agreements. We believe funds generated from the expected results of operations, available unrestricted cash and our unused borrowing availability will be sufficient to finance strategic initiatives, working capital needs, the $27.7 million remaining for potential share repurchases under our previously announced $105 million share repurchase program and investment opportunities for the remainder of 2010. There can be no assurance, however, that we will continue to generate cash flows at or above current levels or that we will be able to maintain our ability to borrow under our credit facilities.
Total liquidity decreased by $93.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2010. The primary cause of the decrease of liquidity was the use of $63.5 million to repurchase shares of common stock primarily under our previously announced $105 million share repurchase program, the use of approximately $30 million due to a change in payment terms with some key vendors in our EMEA division, and the use of approximately $6 million for working capital requirements as a result of increased distribution business in India.
Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows
We use the indirect method of preparing and presenting our statements of cash flows. In our opinion, it is more practical than the direct method and provides the reader with a good perspective and analysis of the Company’s cash flows.

Net cash used by operating activities was $18.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $101.9 million for the same period in the prior year. This change is primarily due to $129.2 million less cash provided by working capital compared to the same period in the prior year as a result of improvements to working capital management in the prior year as well as a change in payment terms with some key vendors in our EMEA division resulting in the decrease of approximately $30 million compared to the same period in prior year.
Net cash used for investing activities was $9.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to $9.6 million for the same period in the prior year. Cash used for investing activities primarily relates to capital expenditures.
Net cash used in financing activities was $30.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to $79.1 million for the same period in the prior year. Financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2010 include $63.5 million of cash used for the purchase of treasury stock, which was partially offset by $32.5 million of borrowings from our revolving Global Credit Facility primarily to fund the repurchases. During the same period in the prior year, we repaid $75.8 million on term loans as a result of debt reduction initiatives in 2009.
Approximately $90.6 million of our debt outstanding at June 30, 2010 is borrowings on our Global Term Loans. We do not have to make any required principal payments on these borrowings until September 2011.

Cash Conversion Cycle
A key source of our liquidity is our ability to invest in inventory, sell the inventory to our customers, collect cash from our customers and pay our suppliers. We refer to this as the cash conversion cycle. For additional information regarding this measurement and the detailed calculation of the components of the cash conversion cycle, please refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.

Cash Conversion Cycle Days
    12       11       11  
 
                       
For the three months ended June 30, 2010, the cash conversion cycle increased to 12 days from 11 days for the same period in the prior year. Days payable outstanding for the three months ended June 30, 2010 decreased 10 days. This decrease was partially offset by decreases in days outstanding in accounts receivable and days inventory on hand by 6 and 3 days. The decrease in days payable outstanding was primarily due to the timing of payments to suppliers and a decrease in our Americas division as a result of lower inventory purchases as compared to the same period in the prior year. The lower inventory purchases were caused by the loss of a significant customer in Colombia during the third quarter of 2009. The decrease in days inventory on hand was primarily due to increased business through our Hong Kong operations compared to the same period in the prior year as well as a reduction in inventory on hand as a result of the loss of a significant customer of our Colombia operation. Our Hong Kong business operates on a much lower, single digit, cash conversion cycle as purchases from customers are primarily prepaid, resulting in lower days sales outstanding, and inventory is often committed for sale prior to receipt, resulting in lower inventory on-hand. The decrease in days sales outstanding was also due to an improvement in payment patterns from customers in our EMEA division.
Borrowings

We had $2.1 million of guarantees that do not impact our net availability.
At June 30, 2010 we were in compliance with the covenants in each of our credit agreements. Our Global Credit Facility contains two financial covenants that are sensitive to significant fluctuations in earnings: a maximum leverage ratio and a minimum interest coverage ratio. The leverage ratio is calculated at the end of each fiscal quarter, and is calculated as total debt (including guarantees and letters of credit) divided by trailing twelve month bank adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (bank adjusted EBITDA). The interest coverage ratio is also calculated as of the end of each fiscal quarter, and is calculated as trailing twelve month bank adjusted EBITDA divided by trailing twelve month net cash interest expense.
