NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include Belden Inc. and all of its subsidiaries (the Company, us, we, or our). We eliminate all significant affiliate accounts and transactions in consolidation.

The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements presented as of any date other than December 31, 2011:

Are prepared from the books and records without audit, and

Are prepared in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q and do not include all of the information required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete statements, but

Include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements.

These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Supplementary Data contained in our 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Business Description

We design, manufacture, and market a portfolio of cable, connectivity, and networking products in markets including industrial, enterprise, broadcast, and consumer electronics. Our products provide for the transmission of signals for data, sound, and video applications.

Reporting Periods

Our fiscal year and fiscal fourth quarter both end on December 31. Our fiscal first quarter ends on the Sunday falling closest to 91 days after December 31, which was April 1, 2012, the 92nd day of our fiscal year 2012. Our fiscal second quarter has 91 days and ended on July 1, 2012. Our fiscal third quarter has 91 days and will end on September 30, 2012.

The six months ended July 1, 2012 and July 3, 2011 included 183 and 184 days, respectively.

Reclassifications

We have made certain reclassifications to the 2011 Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements with no impact to reported net income in order to conform to the 2012 presentation.

Fair Value Measurement

Accounting guidance for fair value measurements specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based upon whether the inputs to those valuation techniques reflect assumptions other market participants would use based upon market data obtained from independent sources or reflect our own assumptions of market

-5-


participant valuation. The hierarchy is broken down into three levels based on the reliability of the inputs as follows:

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets that are unadjusted and accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;

Level 2 – Quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, or financial instruments for which significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly;

Level 3 – Prices or valuations that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.

As of and for the three and six months ended July 1, 2012 and July 3, 2011, we utilized Level 1 inputs to determine the fair value of cash equivalents. As of and for the three and six months ended July 1, 2012, we utilized Level 2 inputs to determine the fair value of derivatives and hedging instruments (see Note 7). We did not have any derivatives and hedging instruments outstanding as of or for the three and six months ended July 3, 2011. We did not have any transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements during the year.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

We classify cash on hand and deposits in banks, including commercial paper, money market accounts, and other investments with an original maturity of three months or less, that we hold from time to time, as cash and cash equivalents. We periodically have cash equivalents consisting of short-term money market funds and other investments. The primary objective of our investment activities is to preserve our capital for the purpose of funding operations. We do not enter into investments for trading or speculative purposes. These cash equivalents are recorded at fair value of $175.7 million as of July 1, 2012, which is based on quoted market prices in active markets (i.e., Level 1 valuation).

Contingent Liabilities

We have established liabilities for environmental and legal contingencies that are probable of occurrence and reasonably estimable. We accrue environmental remediation costs based on estimates of known environmental remediation exposures developed in consultation with our environmental consultants and legal counsel. We are, from time to time, subject to routine litigation incidental to our business. These lawsuits primarily involve claims for damages arising out of the use of our products, allegations of patent or trademark infringement, and litigation and administrative proceedings involving employment matters and commercial disputes. Based on facts currently available, we believe the disposition of the claims that are pending or asserted will not have a materially adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flow.

As of July 1, 2012, we were party to standby letters of credit, bank guaranties, and surety bonds totaling $6.4 million, $4.7 million, and $1.7 million, respectively.

Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenue when all of the following circumstances are satisfied: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (2) price is fixed or determinable, (3) collectibility is reasonably assured, and (4) delivery has occurred. Delivery occurs in the period in which the customer takes title and assumes the risks and rewards of ownership of the products specified in the customer’s purchase order or sales

-6-


agreement. We record revenue net of estimated rebates, price allowances, invoicing adjustments, and product returns. We record revisions to these estimates in the period in which the facts that give rise to each revision become known.

Derivatives and Hedging Activities

We are exposed to various market risks, including fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. From time to time, we manage a portion of this risk through the use of derivative financial instruments to reduce our exposure to foreign currency risk. We do not hold or issue any derivative instrument for trading or speculative purposes.

We report all derivative financial instruments on the balance sheet at fair value. Foreign currency derivative instruments may be designated as a hedge of our net investment in certain foreign operations. If a derivative is designated as a net investment hedge, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative is reported in accumulated other comprehensive income as part of the cumulative translation component of equity. Any ineffectiveness is recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income.

Discontinued Operations

On December 16, 2010, we completed the sale of Trapeze Networks, Inc. (Trapeze) for $152.1 million. At the time the transaction closed, we received $136.9 million in cash, and the remaining $15.2 million was placed in escrow as partial security for our indemnity obligations under the sale agreement. As of July 1, 2012, we have not collected any amounts from the escrow, and we are in negotiations with the buyer of Trapeze regarding the status of the escrow and certain claims raised by the buyer. The $15.2 million remains classified on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets within accounts receivable.

During 2005, we completed the sale of our discontinued communications cable operation in Phoenix, Arizona. In connection with this sale and related tax deductions, we established a reserve for uncertain tax positions. For the three and six months ended July 3, 2011 we recognized $0.3 million and $0.5 million of interest expense, respectively ($0.2 million and $0.3 million net of tax, respectively) related to the uncertain tax positions, which is included in discontinued operations.

Subsequent Events

We have evaluated subsequent events after the balance sheet date through the financial statement issuance date for appropriate accounting and disclosure. See Note 12.

Current-Year Adoption of Accounting Pronouncements

On January 1, 2012, we adopted new accounting guidance issued by the FASB with regard to the presentation and disclosure of comprehensive income. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our financial statements.

Note 2: Operating Segments

We have organized the enterprise around geographic areas. We conduct our operations through three reported operating segments—Americas; Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA); and Asia Pacific.

We allocate corporate expenses to the segments for purposes of measuring segment operating income. Corporate expenses are allocated on the basis of each segment’s relative operating income prior to the

-7-


allocation. Beginning on January 1, 2012, the results of our equity method investment in Xuzhou Hirschmann Electronics Co. Ltd. (the Hirschmann JV) are no longer included in our EMEA segment due to a change in our organizational reporting structure for the Hirschmann JV. The results of the Hirschmann JV are analyzed separately from the results of our operating segments, and they are not included in the corporate expense allocation. The prior period presentation of segment operating income has been modified accordingly.

For the three and six months ended July 1, 2012, diluted weighted average shares outstanding do not include outstanding equity awards of 1.3 million and 1.0 million, respectively, because to do so would have been anti-dilutive. For the three and six months ended July 3, 2011, diluted weighted average shares outstanding do not include outstanding equity awards of 0.7 million and 0.6 million, respectively, because to do so would have been anti-dilutive.

For purposes of calculating basic earnings per share, unvested restricted stock units are not included in the calculation of basic weighted average shares outstanding until all necessary conditions have been satisfied and issuance of the shares underlying the restricted stock units is no longer contingent. Necessary conditions are not satisfied until the vesting date, at which time holders of our restricted stock units receive shares of our common stock.

For purposes of calculating diluted earnings per share, unvested restricted stock units are included to the extent that they are dilutive. In determining whether unvested restricted stock units are dilutive, each issuance of restricted stock units is considered separately.

Once a restricted stock unit has vested, it is included in the calculation of both basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding.

Depreciation and Amortization Expense

We recognized depreciation expense of $9.0 million and $17.9 million in the three and six months ended July 1, 2012, respectively. We recognized depreciation expense of $8.9 million and $18.1 million in the three and six months ended July 3, 2011, respectively.

We recognized amortization expense related to our intangible assets of $2.6 million and $5.8 million in the three and six months ended July 1, 2012, respectively. We recognized amortization expense related to our intangible assets of $3.3 million and $7.0 million in the three and six months ended July 3, 2011, respectively.

Note 6: Long-Term Debt and Other Borrowing Arrangements

Senior Secured Facility

On April 25, 2011, we entered into a new senior secured credit facility (Senior Secured Facility). The borrowing capacity under the Senior Secured Facility is $400.0 million, and it matures on April 25, 2016. Under the Senior Secured Facility, we are permitted to borrow and re-pay funds in various currencies. Interest on outstanding borrowings is variable, based on either the three month LIBOR rate or the prime rate. It is secured by certain of our assets in the United States as well as the capital stock of certain of our subsidiaries. We paid $3.3 million of fees associated with the Senior Secured Facility, which are being amortized over the life of the Senior Secured Facility using the effective interest method.

The Senior Secured Facility contains a leverage ratio covenant and a fixed charge coverage ratio covenant. As of July 1, 2012, we were in compliance with all of the covenants of the Senior Secured Facility.

The Senior Secured Facility replaced our $230.0 million senior secured credit facility that was scheduled to mature in January 2013. There were no outstanding borrowings under the prior facility at the time of its termination.

-10-


As of July 1, 2012, there were no outstanding borrowings under the Senior Secured Facility, and we had $387.2 million in available borrowing capacity, as our borrowing capacity is reduced by outstanding credit instruments.

See Note 12 for a discussion of changes in our long-term debt and other borrowing arrangements subsequent to July 1, 2012.

Senior Subordinated Notes

We have outstanding $200.0 million in senior subordinated notes due 2019 with a coupon interest rate of 9.25% and an effective interest rate of 9.75%. The notes are guaranteed on a senior subordinated basis by certain of our subsidiaries. The notes rank equal in right of payment with our senior subordinated notes due 2017 and with any future senior subordinated debt, and they are subordinated to all of our senior debt and the senior debt of our subsidiary guarantors, including our Senior Secured Facility. Interest is payable semiannually on June 15 and December 15. As of July 1, 2012, the carrying value of the notes was $200.9 million.

We also have outstanding $349.4 million aggregate principal amount of 7.0% senior subordinated notes due 2017. The notes are guaranteed on a senior subordinated basis by certain of our subsidiaries. The notes rank equal in right of payment with our senior subordinated notes due 2019 and with any future senior subordinated debt; they are subordinated to all of our senior debt and the senior debt of our subsidiary guarantors, including our Senior Secured Facility. Interest is payable semiannually on March 15 and September 15. As of July 1, 2012, the carrying value of the notes was $349.4 million.

The indentures governing our senior subordinated notes require that we reinvest the proceeds from qualifying dispositions of assets in the business. To the extent that such proceeds are not reinvested (excess proceeds), we are required to offer to repurchase our notes at par. We made such an offer in December 2011, as a result of excess proceeds from our disposition of Trapeze Networks, Inc. in 2010. Holders of $0.6 million of our senior subordinated notes due 2017 accepted the offer, and such notes were repurchased at par in January 2012.

Under the terms of our Senior Secured Facility, we are permitted to repurchase up to $55.0 million of our senior subordinated notes.

Fair Value of Long-Term Debt

The fair value of our debt instruments at July 1, 2012 was approximately $579.2 million based on quoted prices of the debt instruments in an inactive market (Level 2 valuation). This amount represents the fair value of our senior subordinated notes with a face value of $549.4 million.

Note 7: Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

We are exposed to various market risks, including fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. From time to time, we manage a portion of this risk through the use of derivative financial instruments to reduce our exposure to foreign currency risk. We do not hold or issue any derivative instrument for trading or speculative purposes.

We have entered into foreign currency forward contracts that have been formally designated and qualify as net investment hedges of our operations in certain European subsidiaries. The forward contracts are recorded at fair value on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. To the extent that the hedge

-11-


relationship is effective, the gains or losses on the forward contracts are reported in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (AOCI) as part of the cumulative translation component of equity. We utilize the forward-rate method of assessing hedge ineffectiveness. Any ineffectiveness is recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income.

The forward contracts expose us to credit risk to the extent that the counterparties to our forward contracts are unable to meet the terms of the agreements. We seek to mitigate such risks by limiting the counterparties to major financial institutions and by executing our agreements across multiple counterparties. Additionally, our forward contracts are short-term in duration. No significant concentration of credit risk existed at July 1, 2012.

The following tables summarize our forward contracts outstanding as of July 1, 2012 and the effect on the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements:

There was no ineffectiveness and no amount reclassified from AOCI into earnings for the three and six months ended July 1, 2012. There were no outstanding derivatives as of December 31, 2011 or as of or for the three and six months ended July 3, 2011.

All cash flows associated with derivatives are classified as financing cash flows in the Condensed Consolidated Cash Flow Statements. We collected $2.7 million in proceeds upon the settlement of foreign currency forward contracts for the six months ended July 1, 2012.

Foreign currency forward contracts are valued using a present value calculation based on forward foreign currency prices adjusted for credit and non-performance risk and are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Note 8: Income Taxes

Income tax expense was $3.7 million and $11.8 million for the three and six months ended July 1, 2012, respectively. The effective rate reflected in the provision for income taxes on income from continuing operations before taxes is 8.0% and 15.0% for the three and six months ended July 1, 2012, respectively.

The most significant factor in the difference between the effective rate and the amount determined by applying the applicable statutory United States tax rate of 35% is the effect of changes in our deferred tax asset valuation allowance. For the three and six months ended July 1, 2012, we recorded reductions of $10.7 million and $10.4 million, respectively, in our valuation allowance associated primarily with net operating losses in certain foreign tax jurisdictions. We evaluated and assessed the expected utilization of net operating losses, future book and taxable income, available tax planning strategies, and our overall deferred tax position to determine the appropriate amount and timing of valuation allowance adjustments. As a result of changes in our business, available tax planning strategies, and future taxable income

-12-


projections, we determined that the weight of evidence regarding the future realizability of the deferred tax assets had become predominately positive and realization of the deferred tax assets was more likely than not.

As of July 1, 2012 and December 31, 2011, our deferred tax asset valuation allowance was $13.3 million and $24.9 million, respectively.

The tax rate differential associated with our foreign earnings is also a significant factor in the difference between the effective rate and the amount determined by applying the applicable statutory United States tax rate of 35%.

Note 11: Share Repurchases

In July 2011, our Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program, which allows us to purchase up to $150.0 million of our common stock through open market repurchases, negotiated transactions, or other means, in accordance with applicable securities laws and other restrictions. For the three months

-13-


ended July 1, 2012, we repurchased 0.8 million shares of our common stock under the program through prepaid variable share repurchase agreements for an aggregate cost of $25.0 million and an average price per share of $32.21. For the six months ended July 1, 2012, we repurchased 1.4 million shares of our common stock under the program through prepaid variable share repurchase agreements for an aggregate cost of $50.0 million and an average price per share of $35.28. From the inception of the program to July 1, 2012, we have repurchased 3.1 million shares of our common stock under the program for an aggregate cost of $100.0 million and an average price per share of $32.76.

Note 12: Subsequent Events

In July 2012, we acquired 100% of the outstanding shares of Miranda Technologies, Inc. (Miranda) for cash consideration of $374.7 million. Miranda is a leading provider of hardware and software solutions for the broadcast infrastructure industry and will expand our solution offerings in the broadcast end-market. Miranda is headquartered in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.

The initial accounting for the Miranda acquisition, including the measurement of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as well as the conversion of Miranda’s financial statements from International Financial Reporting Standards to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, is incomplete, and as a result, further details have not been disclosed.

In order to finance the purchase price, on July 23, 2012, we executed an amendment to our Senior Secured Facility and subsequently borrowed CAN$250.0 million under a new term loan (the Term Loan). The Term Loan matures in 2017 and requires quarterly amortization payments. Interest on the Term Loan is variable, based on the three month Canadian money-market rate plus an applicable spread. The remainder of the purchase price was funded with available cash.

Note 13: Supplemental Guarantor Information

As of July 1, 2012, Belden Inc. (the Issuer) has outstanding $549.4 million aggregate principal amount of senior subordinated notes. The notes rank equal in right of payment with any of our future senior subordinated debt. The notes are subordinated to all of our senior debt and the senior debt of our subsidiary guarantors, including our Senior Secured Facility. Belden Inc. and certain of its subsidiaries have fully and unconditionally guaranteed the notes on a joint and several basis. The financial position, results of operations, and cash flows of the guarantor subsidiaries are not material and are combined with the Issuer in the following consolidating financial information. All subsidiary guarantors are 100% owned by the Issuer.

The following consolidating financial information presents information about the Issuer and non-guarantor subsidiaries. Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for on the equity basis. Intercompany transactions are eliminated.

Item 2: Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Overview

We design and manufacture a portfolio of cable, connectivity, and networking products, which we market through regional business segments to industrial, enterprise, broadcast, and consumer electronics markets.

We consider revenue growth, operating margin, cash flows, return on invested capital, and working capital management metrics to be our key operating performance indicators.

Trends and Events

The following trends and events during 2012 have had varying effects on our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

Commodity Prices

Our operating results can be affected by changes in prices of commodities, primarily copper, silver, and compounds, which are components in some of the products we sell. Generally, as the costs of inventory purchases increase due to higher commodity prices, we raise selling prices to customers to cover the increase in costs, resulting in higher sales revenue but a lower gross profit percentage. Conversely, a decrease in commodity prices would result in lower sales revenue but a higher gross profit percentage. Selling prices of our products are affected by many factors, including end market demand, capacity utilization, overall economic conditions, and commodity prices. Importantly, however, there is no exact measure of the effect of changing commodity prices, as there are thousands of transactions in any given quarter, each of which has various factors involved in the individual pricing decisions. Therefore, all references to the effect of copper prices or other commodity prices are estimates.

Channel Inventory

Our operating results also can be affected by the levels of Belden products held as inventory by our channel partners and customers. Our channel partners and customers purchase and hold our products in their inventory in order to meet the service and on-time delivery requirements of their end customers. Generally, as our channel partners and customers change the level of Belden products held in their inventory, it impacts our revenues. Comparisons of our results between periods can be impacted by changes in the levels of channel inventory.

Restructuring Activities

As a result of uncertainty in the global economic environment, we expect to execute restructuring activities in 2012 in order to continue managing our costs and competitive position and to support our strategic plan.

Subsequent Events

In July 2012, we acquired 100% of the outstanding shares of Miranda Technologies, Inc. (Miranda) for cash consideration of $374.7 million. Miranda is a leading provider of hardware and software solutions for the broadcast infrastructure industry and will expand our solution offerings in the broadcast end-market. Miranda is headquartered in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.

-21-


In order to finance the purchase price, on July 23, 2012, we executed an amendment to our Senior Secured Facility and subsequently borrowed CAN$250.0 million under a new term loan (the Term Loan). The remainder of the purchase price was funded with available cash.

See Note 12 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional discussion of the acquisition of Miranda.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows that are or would be considered material to investors.

Critical Accounting Policies

During the six months ended July 1, 2012:

We did not change any of our existing critical accounting policies from those listed in our 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K;

No existing accounting policies became critical accounting policies because of an increase in the materiality of associated transactions or changes in the circumstances to which associated judgments and estimates relate; and

There were no significant changes in the manner in which critical accounting policies were applied or in which related judgments and estimates were developed.

Revenues decreased in the three and six months ended July 1, 2012 from the comparable periods of 2011 primarily for the following reasons:

Decreases in unit sales volume, changes in channel inventory, pricing changes related to non-copper commodity cost decreases, and other pricing changes resulted in revenue decreases of $24.1 million and $18.0 million, respectively.

Unfavorable currency translation, primarily due to the U.S. dollar strengthening against the euro, resulted in revenue decreases of $14.4 million and $18.0 million, respectively.

Decreases in selling prices due to lower copper costs resulted in estimated revenue decreases of approximately $14 million and $24 million, respectively.

-22-


These decreases were partially offset by revenue due to acquisitions of $0.3 million and $10.5 million, respectively.

Gross profit decreased in the three months ended July 1, 2012 from the comparable period of 2011 due to the decrease in revenues as discussed above. This impact was partially offset by improved product mix on an end-market basis and as a result of deliberate product portfolio management actions. Gross profit also benefited from favorable manufacturing input costs and improved productivity due to our Lean enterprise initiatives. As a result of these factors, our gross profit percentage increased from 29.2% for the three months ended July 3, 2011 to 31.4% for the three months ended July 1, 2012.

Gross profit increased in the six months ended July 1, 2012 from the comparable period of 2011 due to improved product mix, favorable manufacturing input costs, improved productivity due to our Lean enterprise initiatives, and the impact of our acquisitions. As a result of these factors, our gross profit percentage increased from 28.8% for the six months ended July 3, 2011 to 31.0% for the six months ended July 1, 2012.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased in the three months ended July 1, 2012 from the comparable period of 2011. The decrease is primarily due to cost management initiatives, including decreased discretionary spending, as a result of uncertain economic conditions. Selling, general, and administrative expenses also decreased due to the impact of foreign currency translation. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased in the six months ended July 1, 2012 from the comparable period of 2011 due to investments in our strategic initiatives, including our Market Delivery System and Talent Management.

Research and development expenses increased in the three and six months ended July 1, 2012 from the comparable periods of 2011 primarily due to increased investments in new product development and our acquisitions completed in 2011.

Income from our equity method investment decreased in the three and six months ended July 1, 2012 from the comparable periods of 2011 by $1.9 million and $3.0 million, respectively, primarily due to a slowdown in the Chinese construction industry.

Operating income increased in the three and six months ended July 1, 2012 from the comparable periods of 2011 due to the factors discussed above. Our operating income percentage increased from 10.8% and 10.0% for the three and six months ended July 3, 2011, respectively, to 12.1% and 10.8% for the three and six months ended July 1, 2012, respectively.

Income from continuing operations before taxes increased in the three and six months ended July 1, 2012 due to the increases in operating income discussed above.

Our effective tax rate for the three and six months ended July 1, 2012 was 8.0% and 15.0%, respectively, compared to 23.5% and 25.2% for the three and six months ended July 3, 2011, respectively. These changes are primarily attributable to tax benefits recorded for the three and six months ended July 1, 2012 of $10.7 million and $10.4 million, respectively, due to reductions of our valuation allowance for certain deferred tax assets.

Americas total revenues, which include affiliate revenues, decreased in the three months ended July 1, 2012 from the comparable period of 2011. A decrease in selling prices due to lower copper costs resulted in an estimated decrease in revenues of approximately $8 million. Lower unit sales volume, changes in channel inventory, pricing changes related to non-copper commodity cost decreases, and other pricing changes resulted in a decrease in revenues of $4.7 million. Unfavorable currency translation, primarily due to the U.S. dollar strengthening against the Canadian dollar and Brazilian real, resulted in a decrease in revenue of $4.3 million. A decrease in affiliate sales resulted in a decrease in revenues of $1.5 million. Our APAC segment has increased local manufacturing capabilities of products previously purchased from the Americas segment, which resulted in the decrease in affiliate sales for the Americas segment.

Americas total revenues increased in the six months ended July 1, 2012 from the comparable period of 2011. Higher unit sales volume, changes in channel inventory, pricing changes related to non-copper commodity cost changes, and other pricing changes resulted in an increase in revenues of $15.6 million. Acquisitions contributed $9.6 million to the increase in revenues. These increases were partially offset by other factors. A decrease in selling prices due to lower copper costs resulted in an estimated decrease in revenues of approximately $14 million. Unfavorable currency translation, primarily due to the U.S. dollar strengthening against the Canadian dollar and the Brazilian real, resulted in a decrease in revenue of $5.6 million. A decrease in affiliate sales resulted in a decrease in revenues of $3.5 million.

Operating income increased in the three and six months July 1, 2012 from the comparable periods of 2011 primarily due to improved product mix and favorable manufacturing input costs. Our acquisitions completed in 2011 also contributed to the increase in operating income as compared to the prior year. As a result of these factors and improved productivity due to our Lean enterprise initiatives, the Americas operating income percentage expanded from 11.9% and 11.4% for the three and six months ended July 3, 2011, respectively, to 14.0% and 12.9% for the three and six months ended July 1, 2012, respectively.

Unfavorable currency translation, primarily from the U.S. dollar strengthening against the euro, resulted in decreases in revenue of $11.0 million and $14.6 million, respectively. Lower unit sales volume, including changes in channel inventory, resulted in decreases in revenue of $10.4 million and $16.0 million, respectively, primarily due to softening economic conditions in Europe, including government austerity measures. Decreases in selling prices due to lower copper costs resulted in estimated decreases in revenue of approximately $1 million and $2 million, respectively. The decreases in revenues were partially offset by increases in affiliate sales of $2.5 million and $7.3 million, respectively. Acquisitions contributed $0.3 million and $0.9 million of revenues, respectively.

Asia Pacific total revenues, which include affiliate revenues, decreased in the three and six months ended July 1, 2012 from the comparable periods of 2011. Lower sales volume as a result of softening economic conditions in China and a decrease in the inventory levels held by our channel partners resulted in decreases in revenue of $8.9 million and $16.5 million, respectively. Lower sales volume was also due to deliberate product portfolio actions taken to improve profitability in our consumer electronics business within this segment. We continue to evaluate strategic alternatives to address the underperforming consumer electronics business in this segment. Decreases in selling prices due to lower copper costs resulted in estimated decreases in revenue of approximately $5 million and $9 million, respectively. The decreases in revenue were partially offset by other factors. Higher affiliate sales resulted in revenue increases of $1.0 million and $1.5 million, respectively. Favorable currency translation, primarily from the Chinese renminbi strengthening against the U.S. dollar, resulted in revenue increases of $0.7 million and $2.0 million.

Operating income increased in the three months ended July 1, 2012 from the comparable period of 2011 due to improved product mix as a result of deliberate product portfolio management actions. Operating income also benefited from improved productivity due to our Lean enterprise initiatives. As a result of these factors, the APAC operating income percentage expanded from 9.6% for the three months ended July 3, 2011 to 11.3% for the three months ended July 1, 2012.

Operating income decreased in the six months ended July 1, 2012 from the comparable period of 2011 due to the decreases in revenues discussed above. The impact of improved product mix due to deliberate product portfolio management actions offset the impact of the decreases in revenues. As a result, the APAC operating income percentage expanded from 8.7% for the six months ended July 3, 2011 to 9.1% for the six months ended July 1, 2012.

Cable product revenues decreased in the three and six months ended July 1, 2012 from the comparable periods of 2011. Decreases in selling prices due to lower copper costs resulted in estimated decreases in revenues of approximately $14 million and $24 million, respectively. Decreases in unit sales volume, changes in channel inventory, pricing changes related to non-copper commodity costs and other pricing changes resulted in revenue decreases of $12.4 million and $0.7 million, respectively. Unfavorable currency translation resulted in decreases in revenues of $6.7 million and $7.8 million, respectively. For the six months ended July 1, 2012, the decrease in cable product revenues was partially offset by revenues from acquisitions of $9.6 million.

Networking product revenues decreased in the three and six months ended July 1, 2012 from the comparable periods of 2011 primarily due to decreases in unit sales volume of $5.7 million and $10.9 million, respectively, as a result of decreases in inventory levels held by our channel partners, a slowdown in the Chinese construction industry, and softening economic conditions in Europe, including government austerity measures. Unfavorable currency translation resulted in decreases in networking product revenues of $4.3 million and $5.7 million, respectively. These decreases were partially offset by revenues from acquisitions of $0.3 million and $0.9 million, respectively.

Connectivity product revenues decreased in the three and six months ended July 1, 2012 from the comparable periods of 2011 primarily due to decreases in unit sales volume, including changes in channel inventory, of $6.0 million and $6.3 million, respectively. Unfavorable currency translation resulted in decreases in connectivity product revenues of $3.4 million and $4.6 million, respectively.

Discontinued Operations

On December 16, 2010, we completed the sale of Trapeze Networks, Inc. (Trapeze) for $152.1 million. At the time the transaction closed, we received $136.9 million in cash, and the remaining $15.2 million was placed in escrow as partial security for our indemnity obligations under the sale agreement. As of July 1, 2012, we have not collected any amounts from the escrow, and we are in negotiations with the buyer of Trapeze regarding the status of the escrow and certain claims raised by the buyer. The $15.2 million remains classified on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets within accounts receivable.

During 2005, we completed the sale of our discontinued communications cable operation in Phoenix, Arizona. In connection with this sale and related tax deductions, we established a reserve for uncertain tax positions. For the three and six months ended July 3, 2011 we recognized $0.3 million and $0.5 million of interest expense, respectively ($0.2 million and $0.3 million net of tax, respectively) related to the uncertain tax positions, which is included in discontinued operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Significant factors affecting our cash liquidity include (1) cash provided by operating activities, (2) disposals of businesses and tangible assets, (3) exercises of stock options, (4) cash used for acquisitions, restructuring actions, capital expenditures, share repurchases, dividends, and senior subordinated note repurchases, and (5) our available credit facilities and other borrowing arrangements. We expect our operating activities to generate cash in 2012 and believe our sources of liquidity are sufficient to fund current working capital requirements, capital expenditures, contributions to our retirement plans, share repurchases, senior subordinated note repurchases, quarterly dividend payments, and our short-term operating strategies. Our ability to continue to fund our future needs from business operations could be affected by many factors, including, but not limited to: economic conditions worldwide, customer demand, competitive market forces, customer acceptance of our product mix, and commodities pricing.

Net cash provided by operating activities, a key source of our liquidity, decreased by $0.6 million for the six months ended July 1, 2012 from the comparable period of 2011. The increased use of cash by operating assets and liabilities was substantially offset by an increase in net income.

Accounts receivable were a use of cash of $27.6 million for the six months ended July 1, 2012, compared to a use of cash of $50.6 million for the comparable period of 2011. Our days’ sales outstanding improved from 62 days as of July 3, 2011 to 61 days as of July 1, 2012. We calculate days’ sales outstanding by dividing accounts receivable as of the end of the quarter by the average daily revenues recognized during the quarter.

Inventories were a source of cash of $13.4 million for the six months ended July 1, 2012, while inventories were a use of cash of $18.6 million for the comparable period of 2011. Inventory turns decreased from 7.5 turns as of July 3, 2011 to 7.2 turns as of July 1, 2012. We calculate inventory turns by dividing annualized cost of sales for the quarter by the inventory balance at the end of the quarter.

Net cash used for investing activities totaled $22.0 million for the six months ended July 1, 2012 compared to $66.1 million for the comparable period of 2011. Investing activities in the six months ended July 1, 2012 included capital expenditures of $21.8 million and a payment related to a previous acquisition of $0.6 million. Investing activities in the six months ended July 3, 2011 included payments for our acquisitions, net of cash acquired, of $52.4 million, capital expenditures of $14.9 million, and the receipt of $1.1 million of proceeds from the sale of real estate in the Americas segment.

Net cash used for financing activities for the six months ended July 1, 2012 totaled $46.5 million compared to $1.7 million for the comparable period of 2011. This change is primarily due to payments under our share repurchase program of $50.0 million for the six months ended July 1, 2012.

Our cash and cash equivalents balance was $337.3 million as of July 1, 2012. Of this amount, $306.2 million was held outside of the U.S. in our foreign operations. Substantially all of the foreign cash and cash equivalents are readily convertible into U.S. dollars or other foreign currencies. Our strategic plan does not require the repatriation of foreign cash in order to fund our operations in the U.S., and it is our current intention to permanently reinvest the foreign cash and cash equivalents outside of the U.S. If we were to repatriate the foreign cash, we may be required to accrue and pay taxes in accordance with applicable tax rules and regulations of the U.S. or other tax jurisdictions as a result of the repatriation.

Our outstanding debt obligations as of July 1, 2012 consisted of $349.4 million aggregate principal of 7.0% senior subordinated notes due 2017 and $200.0 million aggregate principal of 9.25% senior subordinated notes due 2019. As of July 1, 2012, there were no outstanding borrowings under our senior secured credit facility, we were in compliance with all of the covenants of the facility, and we had $387.2 million in available borrowing capacity. Additional discussion regarding our various borrowing arrangements is included in Notes 6 and 12 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Additional factors that may cause actual results to differ from our expectations include: our reliance on key distributors in marketing products; our ability to execute and realize the expected benefits from strategic initiatives (including revenue growth, cost control and productivity improvement programs); changes in the level of economic activity in our major geographic markets; difficulties in realigning manufacturing capacity and capabilities among our global manufacturing facilities; the competitiveness of the global cable, connectivity, and networking industries; variability in our quarterly and annual effective tax rates; changes in accounting rules and interpretations of those rules which may affect our reported earnings; changes in currency exchange rates and political and economic uncertainties in the countries where we conduct business; demand for our products; the cost and availability of materials including copper, plastic compounds derived from fossil fuels, electronic components, and other materials; energy costs; our ability to achieve acquisition performance expectations and to integrate acquired businesses successfully; our ability to develop and introduce new products; having to recognize charges that would reduce income as a result of impairing goodwill and other intangible assets; security risks and the potential for business interruption from operating in volatile countries; disruptions or failures of our (or our suppliers or customers) systems or operations in the event of a major earthquake, weather event, cyber-attack, terrorist attack, or other catastrophic event that could cause delays in completing sales, providing services, or performing other mission-critical functions; and other factors.

For a more complete discussion of risk factors, please see our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 29, 2012. We disclaim any duty to update any forward-looking statements as a result of new information, future developments, or otherwise.

Item 3: Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risks

We are exposed to various market risks, including fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. From time to time, we manage a portion of this risk through the use of derivative financial instruments to reduce our exposure to foreign currency risk. We do not hold or issue any derivative instrument for trading or speculative purposes. As of July 1, 2012, we had $93.5 million aggregate outstanding notional amount related to foreign currency forward contracts accounted for as net investment hedges of our investment in certain European subsidiaries. The fair value of the forward contracts was $0.2 million, classified within accrued liabilities within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. See Note 7 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional discussion.

Item 7A of our 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K provides more information as to the practices and instruments that we use to manage market risks. There were no other material changes in our exposure to market risks since December 31, 2011.

Item 4: Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this report, we conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Based on this evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1: Legal Proceedings

We are a party to various legal proceedings and administrative actions that are incidental to our operations. These proceedings include personal injury cases, 109 of which are pending as of July 30, 2012, in which we are one of many defendants. Electricians have filed a majority of these cases, primarily in Pennsylvania and Illinois, generally seeking compensatory, special, and punitive damages. Typically in these cases, the claimant alleges injury from alleged exposure to a heat-resistant asbestos fiber. Our alleged predecessors had a small number of products that contained the fiber, but ceased production of such products more than 20 years ago. Through July 30, 2012, we have been dismissed, or reached agreement to be dismissed, in more than 400 similar cases without any going to trial, and with only a small number of these involving any payment to the claimant. In our opinion, the proceedings and actions in which we are involved should not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, operating results, or cash flows. However, since the trends and outcome of this litigation are inherently uncertain, we cannot give absolute assurance regarding the future resolution of such litigation, or that such litigation may not become material in the future.

We are a former owner of a property located in Kingston, Canada. The Ontario, Canada Ministry of the Environment is seeking to require current and former owners of the Kingston property to delineate and remediate soil and groundwater contamination at the site, which we believe was caused by Nortel (a former owner of the site). We are in the process of assessing whether we have any liability for the site, as well as the scope of contamination, cost of remediation, allocation of costs among the parties, and the other parties’ financial viability. Based on our current information, we do not believe this matter should have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, operating results, or cash flows. However, since the outcome of this matter is uncertain, we cannot give absolute assurance regarding its future resolution, or that such matter may not become material in the future.

Item 1A: Risk Factors

There have been no material changes with respect to risk factors as previously disclosed in our 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

(1) In July 2011, our Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program, which allows us to purchase up to $150.0 million of our common stock through open market repurchases, negotiated transactions, or other means, in accordance with applicable securities laws and other restrictions. The program does not have an expiration date and may be suspended at any time at the discretion of the Company. From inception of the program to July 1, 2012, we have repurchased 3.1 million shares of our common stock under the program for an aggregate cost of $100.0 million and an average price of $32.76.
