iROBOT CORPORATION
Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements
(unaudited)
1. Description of Business
     iRobot Corporation (“iRobot” or the “Company”) was incorporated in 1990 as IS Robotics, Inc. to develop robotics and artificial intelligence technologies and apply these technologies in producing and marketing robots. The majority of the Company’s revenue is generated from product sales and government and industrial research and development contracts.
     The Company is subject to risks common to companies in high-tech industries including, but not limited to, uncertainty of progress in developing technologies, new technological innovations, dependence on key personnel, protection of proprietary technology, compliance with government regulations and uncertainty of market acceptance of products.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
     Basis of Presentation
     The accompanying consolidated financial statements include those of iRobot and its subsidiaries, after elimination of all intercompany accounts and transactions. iRobot has prepared the accompanying consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
     The accompanying financial data as of March 31, 2007 and for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and April 1, 2006 has been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. However, the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 30, 2006, filed with the SEC on March 2, 2007.
     In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to present a fair statement of financial position as of March 31, 2007 and results of operations and cash flows for the periods ended March 31, 2007 and April 1, 2006 have been made. The results of operations and cash flows for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the operating results and cash flows for the full fiscal year or any future periods.
     Use of Estimates
     The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates these estimates and judgments, including those related to revenue recognition, sales returns, bad debts, warranty claims, inventory reserves, valuation of investments, assumptions used in valuing stock-based compensation instruments and income taxes. The Company bases these estimates on historical and anticipated results, and trends and on various other assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable under the circumstances, including assumptions as to future events. These estimates form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. By their nature, estimates are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. Actual results may differ from the Company’s estimates.
     Reclassification
     Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year financial statements to conform to the current year presentation.

     Fiscal Year-End
     The Company operates and reports using a 52-53 week fiscal year ending on the Saturday closest to December 31. Accordingly, the Company’s fiscal quarters end on the Saturday that falls closest to the last day of the third month of each quarter.
     Revenue Recognition
     The Company derives its revenue from product sales, government research and development contracts, and commercial research and development contracts. The Company sells products directly to customers and indirectly through resellers and distributors. The Company recognizes revenue from sales of home robots under the terms of the customer agreement upon transfer of title to the customer, net of estimated returns, provided that collection is determined to be probable and no significant obligations remain. Sales to resellers are subject to agreements allowing for limited rights of return for defective products only, rebates and price protection. The Company has typically not taken product returns except for defective products. Accordingly, the Company reduces revenue for its estimates of liabilities for these rights at the time the related sale is recorded. The Company makes an estimate of sales returns for products sold by resellers directly or through its distributors based on historical returns experience. The Company has aggregated and analyzed historical returns from resellers and end users which form the basis of its estimate of future sales returns by resellers or end users. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 48, Revenue Recognition When Right of Return Exists, the provision for these estimated returns is recorded as a reduction of revenue at the time that the related revenue is recorded. If actual returns differ significantly from its estimates, such differences could have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations for the period in which the returns become known. The estimates for returns are adjusted periodically based upon historical rates of returns. The estimates and reserve for rebates and price protection are based on specific programs, expected usage and historical experience. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
     Under cost-plus-fixed-fee (CPFF) type contracts, the Company recognizes revenue based on costs incurred plus a pro rata portion of the total fixed fee. Revenue on firm fixed price (FFP) contracts is recognized using the percentage-of-completion method. Costs and estimated gross profits on contracts are recorded as revenue as work is performed based on the percentage that incurred costs bear to estimated total costs utilizing the most recent estimates of costs and funding. Changes in job performance, job conditions, and estimated profitability, including those arising from final contract settlements, may result in revisions to costs and income and are recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined. Since many contracts extend over a long period of time, revisions in cost and funding estimates during the progress of work have the effect of adjusting earnings applicable to past performance in the current period. When the current contract estimate indicates a loss, a provision is made for the total anticipated loss in the current period. Revenue earned in excess of billings, if any, is recorded as unbilled revenue. Billings in excess of revenue earned, if any, are recorded as deferred revenue.
     Stock-Based Compensation
     Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment, which establishes accounting for the equity instruments exchanged for employee services. Under the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R), the Company establishes the fair value of each option grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Given the Company’s initial public offering in November 2005 and the resulting short history as a public company, the Company could not rely solely on company specific historical data upon the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) for purposes of establishing an expected volatility assumption for use in applying the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Consequently, the Company performed an analysis of several peer companies with similar expected option lives to develop an expected volatility assumption of 65% which was utilized for establishing the fair value of all options granted during fiscal 2006.
     During the three month period ended March 31, 2007, the Company updated its volatility assumption utilizing a methodology consistent with that described above that included a blend of company specific data since its initial public offering and data from the above-mentioned peer companies for a period covering the expected option lives. Based upon this analysis, the Company established a volatility rate of 55% for use in calculating the fair value of option grants in the three month period ended March 31, 2007. This reduction in the volatility rate assumption had

(unaudited)
the result of establishing lower fair values and, consequently, lower stock-based compensation expense in the current and future periods, for options granted in the three months ended March 31, 2007.
     Upon the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) on January 1, 2006, the Company assumed a forfeiture rate of 5% for all stock options granted subsequent to its initial public offering with the exception of those issued to executives and directors for which a zero forfeiture rate had been assumed. These rates were in effect for all of fiscal 2006. Effective the beginning of fiscal 2007, the Company established a 2.5% forfeiture rate for executives and directors. In the future, the Company will record incremental stock-based compensation expense if the actual forfeiture rates are lower than estimated and will record a recovery of prior stock-based compensation expense if the actual forfeitures are higher than estimated.
     Net Income Per Share
     The following table presents the calculation of both basic and diluted net income per share:

    23,902       23,375  
 
           
Basic and diluted loss per share
  $ (0.23 )   $ (0.12 )
     Income Taxes
     In June 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. (“FIN”) 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — An Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, which prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. Accordingly, the Company adopted FIN 48 beginning December 31, 2006 and the impact of adoption on its opening balance of retained earnings is zero. As of the beginning of fiscal year 2007, the Company had no unrecognized tax benefits. No unrecognized tax benefits were recorded in the three months ended March 31, 2007. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in its tax provision and there were no accrued interest or penalties as of December 31, 2006 or March 31, 2007.
     The Company is subject to taxation in the United States and various states and foreign jurisdictions. The Company’s United States federal income tax returns for tax years after 1998 are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service. The Company’s principal state income tax returns for tax years after 2002 are subject to examination by the state tax authorities.
     Deferred taxes are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect in the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are provided if based upon the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
     The Company monitors the realization of its deferred tax assets based on changes in circumstances, such as recurring periods of income for tax purposes following historical periods of cumulative losses or changes in tax laws or regulations. The Company’s income tax provisions and its assessment of the realizability of its deferred tax assets involve significant judgments and estimates. If the Company continued to generate taxable income through profitable operations in the future it may be required to recognize these deferred tax assets through the reduction of the valuation allowance which would result in a material benefit to its results of operations in the period in which the benefit is determined, excluding the recognition of the portion of the valuation allowance that relates to stock compensation.

     Comprehensive Income
     SFAS No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income, establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components in financial statements. The Company’s comprehensive income is equal to the Company’s net income for all periods presented.
     Recent Accounting Pronouncements
     In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This statement does not require any new fair value measurements; rather, it applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. The provisions of SFAS No. 157 are effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently assessing SFAS No. 157 and has not yet determined the impact, if any, that its adoption will have on its result of operations or financial condition.
     From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by FASB that are adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, the Company believes that the impact of recently issued standards, which are not yet effective, will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements upon adoption.
3. Cash and Cash Equivalents
     Cash and cash equivalents include demand deposits, money market accounts, and other highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the date of acquisition. The Company invests its excess operating cash primarily in money market funds of major financial institutions. Cash equivalents are carried at cost, which approximates fair market value, and interest is accrued as earned.
4. Short-term Investments
     The Company’s investments are classified as available-for-sale and are recorded at fair value with any unrealized gain or loss recorded as an element of stockholders’ equity. The fair value of investments is determined based on quoted market prices at the reporting date for those instruments. As of March 31, 2007, investments consisted of:
                                 
    March 31, 2007   December 30, 2006

  $ 60,400     $ 60,400     $ 64,800     $ 64,800  
As of March 31, 2007, the Company’s investments had maturity dates ranging from November 2027 to December 2045. Despite the long-term contractual maturities of the auction rate securities held at March 31, 2007, all of these securities are available for immediate sale and it is the Company’s intention to liquidate these securities within one year.

6. Stock Option Plans
     The Company has options outstanding under four stock incentive plans: the 1994 Stock Option Plan (the “1994 Plan”), the 2001 Special Stock Option Plan (the “2001 Plan”), the 2004 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the “2004 Plan”) and the 2005 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the “2005 Plan” and together with the 1994 Plan, the 2001 Plan and the 2004 Plan, the “Plans”). The 2005 Plan is the only one of the four plans under which new awards may currently be granted. Under the 2005 Plan, which became effective October 10, 2005, 1,583,682 shares were reserved for issuance in the form of incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, deferred stock awards and restricted stock awards. Additionally, the 2005 Plan provides that the number of shares reserved and available for issuance under the plan will automatically increase each January 1, beginning in 2007, by 4.5% of the outstanding number of shares of common stock on the immediately preceding December 31. Stock options returned to the Plans as a result of their expiration, cancellation or termination are automatically made available for issuance under the 2005 Plan. Eligibility for incentive stock options is limited to those individuals whose employment status would qualify them for the tax treatment associated with incentive stock options in accordance with the Internal Revenue Code. As of March 31, 2007, there were 1,868,732 shares available for future grant under the 2005 Plan.
     Options granted under the Plans are subject to terms and conditions as determined by the compensation committee of the board of directors, including vesting periods. Options granted under the Plans are exercisable in full at any time subsequent to vesting, generally vest over periods from 0 to 5 years, and expire 7 or 10 years from the date of grant or, if earlier, 60 or 90 days from employee termination. Prior to the Company’s initial public offering, the exercise price for each incentive stock option was determined by the board of directors of the Company to be equal to the fair value of the common stock on the date of grant. In reaching this determination at the time of each such grant, the board of directors considered a broad range of factors, including the illiquid nature of an investment in the Company’s common stock, the Company’s historical financial performance, the Company’s future prospects and the value of preferred stock based on recent financing activities. Subsequent to the Company’s initial public offering, the exercise price of incentive stock options is equal to the closing price on the NASDAQ Global Market on the date of grant. The exercise price of nonstatutory options may be set at a price other than the fair market value of the common stock.

     Guarantees and Indemnification Obligations
     The Company enters into standard indemnification agreements in the ordinary course of business. Pursuant to these agreements, the Company indemnifies and agrees to reimburse the indemnified party for losses incurred by the indemnified party, generally the Company’s customers, in connection with any patent, copyright, trade secret or other proprietary right infringement claim by any third party with respect to the Company’s products. The term of these indemnification agreements is generally perpetual any time after execution of the agreement. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these indemnification agreements is unlimited. The Company has never incurred costs to defend lawsuits or settle claims related to these indemnification agreements. As a result, the Company believes the estimated fair value of these agreements is minimal. Accordingly, the Company has no liabilities recorded for these agreements as of March 31, 2007 and December 30, 2006, respectively.
     Warranty
     The Company provides warranties on most products and has established a reserve for warranty based on identified warranty costs. The reserve is included as part of accrued expenses (Note 7) in the accompanying balance sheets.
     Activity related to the warranty accrual was as follows:

Overview
     iRobot provides robots that enable people to complete complex tasks in a better way. Founded in 1990 by roboticists who performed research at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, we have developed proprietary technology incorporating advanced concepts in navigation, mobility, manipulation and artificial intelligence to build industry-leading robots. Our Roomba floor vacuuming robot and Scooba floor washing robot perform time-consuming domestic chores, and our PackBot tactical military robots perform battlefield reconnaissance and bomb disposal. In addition, we are developing the Small Unmanned Ground Vehicle reconnaissance robot for the U.S. Army’s Future Combat Systems program and, in conjunction with Deere & Company, the R-Gator unmanned ground vehicle. We sell our robots to consumers through a variety of distribution channels, including chain stores and other national retailers, and our on-line store, and to the U.S. military and other government agencies worldwide.
     As of March 31, 2007, we had 387 full-time employees. We have developed expertise in most disciplines necessary to build durable, high-performance and cost-effective robots through the close integration of software, electronics and hardware. Our core technologies serve as reusable building blocks that we adapt and expand to develop next generation and new products, thereby reducing the time, cost and risk of product development. We believe that our significant expertise in robot design and engineering, combined with our management team’s experience in military and consumer markets, positions us to capitalize on the expected growth in the market for robots.
     Although we have successfully launched home robot and military products, our continued success depends upon our ability to respond to a number of future challenges. We believe the most significant of these challenges include increasing competition in the markets for both our home robot and military products, our ability to obtain U.S. federal government funding for research and development programs, and our ability to successfully develop and introduce products and product enhancements.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments, in particular those related to revenue recognition; valuation allowances (specifically sales returns and other allowances); assumptions used in valuing stock-based compensation instruments; evaluating loss contingencies; and valuation allowances for deferred tax assets. Actual amounts could differ significantly from these estimates. Our management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and various other factors that

are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the amounts of revenue and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. Additional information about these critical accounting policies may be found in the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” section included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 30, 2006.

Total revenue
  $ 39,487     $ 38,209     $ 1,278       3.3 %
     Total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2007 increased to $39.5 million, or 3.3%, compared to $38.2 million for the three months ended April 1, 2006. Revenue decreased approximately $3.8 million, or 16.2%, in our home robots business and increased approximately $5.0 million, or 33.6%, in our government and industrial business.
     The $3.8 million decrease in revenue from our home robots division was driven by a 19.7% decrease in net average selling prices that was primarily due to lower sales of our Scooba floor washing robot, which have higher average selling prices than our Roomba floor vacuuming robot, for the three months ended March 31, 2007 as compared to the three months ended April 1, 2006. Total home floor care robots shipped in the three months ended March 31, 2007 was approximately 129,000 units compared to approximately 129,000 units in the three months ended April 1, 2006. The $5.0 million increase in revenue from our government and industrial business for the three months ended March 31, 2007 as compared to three months ended April 1, 2006 was due to a 36.6% increase in unit shipments of our military robots combined with a 3.5% increase in associated net average selling prices and a 10.9% increase in recurring contract development revenue generated under funded research and development contracts. Also included in this $5.0 million growth was an increase of approximately $1.1 million in product life cycle revenue (robot spares) as compared to $1.9 million of product life cycle revenue in the three months ended April 1, 2006. Total military robot units shipped in the three months ended March 31, 2007 was 97 compared to 71 in the three months ended April 1, 2006.

     Total cost of revenue increased to $28.4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2007, compared to $26.0 million in the three months ended April 1, 2006. The increase is due to the higher costs associated with the 36.6% increase in unit sales of our government and industrial robots and the 10.9% increase in recurring contract revenues generated under funded research and development contracts, offset by a 25.5% reduction in the average unit costs of home robots and an 8.9% reduction in the average unit costs of government and industrial robots.
     The home robots division cost of revenue increased as a percent of revenue by 4.1 percentage points in the three months ended March 31, 2007 as compared to the three months ended April 1, 2006. This increase was attributable to the 19.7% decrease in average selling prices offset by the above-mentioned decrease in average unit costs, both of which are a result of a shift in the product mix of the home floor care robots that we sold. In particular, we shipped significantly more Roomba floor vacuuming robots, which have lower per unit selling prices and costs than our Scooba floor washing robots, in the three months ended March 31, 2007 as compared to the three months ended April 1, 2006. Other factors contributing to the increase in cost of revenue as a percent of revenue were higher warranty and overhead costs.
     The government and industrial robots division cost of revenue increased as a percent of revenue by 2.1 percentage points in the three months ended March 31, 2007 as compared to the three months ended April 1, 2006. This increase was due to higher overhead costs associated with an expanded infrastructure to support our growth and

achieve operational scale as well as higher warranty costs offset by the combined effect of the 3.5% increase in average selling prices and the above mentioned reductions in average unit costs.

     Gross profit decreased 8.8% to $11.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2007, from $12.2 million in the three months ended April 1, 2006. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue decreased to 28.2% in the three months ended March 31, 2007 from 31.9% of revenue in the three months ended April 1, 2006. This decrease in gross profit as a percentage of total revenue was the result of the home robots division gross profit decreasing 4.1 percentage points and the government and industrial division decreasing 2.1 percentage points, each compared to the three months ended April 1, 2006. Additionally, the home robots division, which carries a higher overall gross profit percentage than the government and industrial division accounted for 52.9% of total gross profit in the three months ended March 31, 2007 as compared to 65.3% in the three months ended April 1, 2006.

     Research and development expenses increased by $1.4 million, or 49.3%, to $4.2 million (10.5% of revenue) in the three months ended March 31, 2007, from $2.8 million (7.3% of revenue) for the three months ended April 1, 2006. The increase in research and development expenses is primarily due to an increase of $0.5 million in compensation and benefit related expenses attributed to increased headcount. Consulting and related material costs associated with internal research projects increased by $0.3 million and $0.4 million, respectively.
     In 2007, we intend to continue to invest in research and development to respond to and anticipate customer needs and we expect quarterly spending to approximate the levels we experienced in the three months ended March 31, 2007. Given the seasonality of our business and the impact on quarterly revenues, research and development expenses are expected to fluctuate as a percent of revenue throughout the year. For the full fiscal year 2007, we expect research and development expenses to be approximately 7% of revenue as compared to the 10.5% we experienced in the three months ended March 31, 2007.
     Overall research and development headcount increased to 107 at March 31, 2007 compared to 82 as of April 1, 2006, an increase of 25 employees or 30%.
     In addition to our internal research and development activities discussed above, we incur research and development expenses under funded development arrangements with both governments and industrial third parties. For the three months ended March 31, 2007, these expenses amounted to $4.9 million compared to $3.5 million for the three months ended April 1, 2006. In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, these expenses have been classified as cost of revenue rather than research and development expense.

marketing and television media and production costs in the home robot division as compared to the three months ended April 1, 2006. These decreases were partially offset by a $1.2 million increase in costs attributed to growth in our direct business. Government and industrial division expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2007 increased $0.6 million from the comparable quarter last year due primarily to an increase in compensation and benefits as well as travel related expenses associated with increased sales headcount.
     For the full fiscal year 2007, we expect selling and marketing expenses to be approximately 19% of revenue.
     Overall selling and marketing headcount increased to 29 at March 31, 2007 compared to 23 as of April 1, 2006, an increase of 6 employees or 26% growth.

     General and administrative expenses increased by $0.9 million, or 20.6%, to $5.3 million (13.5% of revenue) in the three months ended March 31, 2007 from $4.4 million (11.5% of revenue) in the three months ended April 1, 2006. The increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily driven by an increase of $0.7 million in compensation, benefits and depreciation expenses due to increased headcount over the comparable period. Also included in the $0.9 million increase was $0.2 million of legal expenses associated with our strategic alliances and intellectual property procurement.
     Given the seasonality of our business and the impact on quarterly revenues, general and administrative expenses are expected to fluctuate as a percent of revenue throughout the year. For the full fiscal year 2007, we expect general and administrative expenses to be approximately 10% of revenue as compared to the 13.5% of revenue we experienced in the three months ended March 31, 2007.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
     At March 31, 2007 our principal sources of liquidity were cash and cash equivalents totaling $9.4 million, short-term investments of $60.4 million, and accounts receivable of $16.2 million. Prior to our initial public offering in November 2005, we funded our growth primarily with proceeds from the issuance of convertible preferred stock for aggregate net cash proceeds of $37.5 million, occasional borrowings under a working capital line of credit and cash generated from operations. In the initial public offering, we raised $70.4 million net of underwriting commissions, professional fees and other expenses associated with the offering.
     We manufacture and distribute our products through contract manufacturers and third-party logistics providers. We believe that this approach gives us the advantages of relatively low capital investment and significant flexibility in scheduling production and managing inventory levels. By leasing our office facilities, we also minimize the cash needed for expansion. Accordingly, our capital spending is generally limited to leasehold improvements, computers, office furniture and product-specific production tooling and test equipment. In the three month periods ended March 31, 2007 and April 1, 2006, we spent $1.8 million and $1.0 million, respectively, on capital equipment.
     Our home robots product sales are, and are expected to continue to be, highly seasonal. This seasonality typically results in a break even or net use of cash in support of operating needs during the first half of the year with the low point generally occurring in the middle of the third quarter, and a favorable cash flow during the second half of the year.
     Discussion of Cash Flows
     Net cash provided by our operating activities in the three months ended March 31, 2007 was $2.4 million compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $6.9 million in the three months ended April 1, 2006. The cash provided by our operating activities in the three months ended March 31, 2007 was primarily due to a decrease in accounts receivable (including unbilled revenue) of $12.7 million, a decrease in inventory of $4.7 million, and a decrease in other assets of $1.0 million, offset by a net loss of $5.5 million and a net decrease in liabilities of $12.4 million. In addition, in the three months ended March 31, 2007, we had depreciation and amortization of approximately $1.2 million and stock-based compensation of $0.7 million, both of which are non-cash expenses. The cash provided by our operating activities in the three months ended April 1, 2006 was primarily due to a decrease in accounts receivable (including unbilled revenue) of $12.0 million and a decrease in other assets of $0.1 million, partially offset by a net loss of $2.9 million and a decrease in total liabilities of approximately $3.0 million. In addition, in the three months ended April 1, 2006, we had $0.9 million of depreciation expense and approximately $0.5 million in stock-based compensation, both of which are non-cash expenses.
     Net cash provided by our investing activities was $2.6 million in the three months ended March 31, 2007 compared to net cash used by our investing activities of $71.1 million in the three months ended April 1, 2006. Investing activities in the three months ended March 31, 2007 represent the sale of short-term investments of $19.8 million, offset by the purchase of short-term investments of $15.4 million and the purchase of capital equipment of $1.8 million. Investing activities in the three months ended April 1, 2006 represent the purchase of short-term investments of $80.2 million and the purchase of capital equipment of $1.0 million, offset by the sale of short-term investments of $10.1 million.
     Net cash used by our financing activities was approximately $1.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2007 compared to net cash provided by our financing activities of $0.1 million in the three months ended April 1, 2006. Included in the financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2007 was a $1.6 million payment by us of the minimum tax withholding obligation relating to a stock option exercise during the period. This figure was offset by $0.4 million of proceeds from the exercise of stock options.
     The majority of our long-lived assets for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and April 1, 2006 are located in the United States. However, we have invested in production tooling for the manufacture of the Roomba and Scooba product lines in China.

Working Capital and Capital Expenditure Needs
     We currently have no material cash commitments, except for normal recurring trade payables, expense accruals and operating leases, all of which we anticipate funding through our existing working capital line of credit, working capital and funds provided by operating activities. We do anticipate making significant capital commitments in the next twelve months for expenditures associated with the planned move to our new corporate headquarters on or about May 1, 2008. These expenditures will be jointly funded by the landlord for this site and by the Company. Other than this project, we do not currently anticipate significant investment in property, plant and equipment, and we believe that our outsourced approach to manufacturing provides us with flexibility in both managing inventory levels and financing our inventory. We believe our existing cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, cash provided by operating activities, and funds available through our working capital line of credit will be sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditure needs over at least the next twelve months. In the event that our revenue plan does not meet our expectations, we may eliminate or curtail expenditures to mitigate the impact on our working capital. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including our rate of revenue growth, the expansion of our marketing and sales activities, the timing and extent of spending to support product development efforts, the timing of introductions of new products and enhancements to existing products, the acquisition of new capabilities or technologies, and the continuing market acceptance of our products and services. Moreover, to the extent that existing cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, cash from operations, and cash from short-term borrowing are insufficient to fund our future activities, we may need to raise additional funds through public or private equity or debt financing. Although we are currently not a party to any agreement or letter of intent with respect to potential investments in, or acquisitions of, businesses, services or technologies, we may enter into these types of arrangements in the future, which could also require us to seek additional equity or debt financing. Additional funds may not be available on terms favorable to us or at all.
     Contractual Obligations
     We generally do not enter into binding purchase commitments. Our principal commitments consist of obligations under our working capital line of credit, leases for office space and minimum contractual obligations for services. The following table describes our commitments to settle contractual obligations in cash as of March 31, 2007:
                                         
    Payments Due by Period  
    Less Than     1 to 3     3 to 5     More Than        
    1 Year     Years     Years     5 Years     Total  
    (In thousands)  
Operating leases
  $ 1,779     $ 5,179     $ 4,135     $ 16,873     $ 27,966  
Minimum contractual payments
    875       1,750       875             3,500

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
     As of March 31, 2007, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a)(4) of Regulation S-K.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk
Interest Rate Sensitivity
     At March 31, 2007, we had unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $9.4 million and short-term investments of $60.4 million. The unrestricted cash and cash equivalents are held for working capital purposes. We do not enter into investments for trading or speculative purposes. Some of the securities in which we invest, however, may be subject to market risk. This means that a change in prevailing interest rates may cause the principal amount of the investment to fluctuate. To minimize this risk in the future, we intend to maintain our portfolio of cash equivalents and short-term investments in a variety of securities, including auction rate securities, commercial paper, money market funds, debt securities and certificates of deposit. Due to the short-term nature of these investments, we believe that we do not have any material exposure to changes in the fair value of our investment portfolio as a result of changes in interest rates. As of March 31, 2007, all of our cash equivalents were held in money market accounts and our short-term investments were comprised of auction rate securities.
     Our exposure to market risk also relates to the increase or decrease in the amount of interest expense we would be required to pay on outstanding debt instruments, primarily certain borrowings under our bank line of credit. The advances under this line of credit bear a variable rate of interest determined as a function of the prime rate or the published LIBOR rate at the time of the borrowing. At March 31, 2007, there were no amounts outstanding under our working capital line of credit.
Exchange Rate Sensitivity
     Nearly all of our revenue is derived from transactions denominated in U.S. dollars, even though we maintain sales and business operations in foreign countries. As such, we have exposure to adverse changes in exchange rates associated with operating expenses of our foreign operations, but we believe this exposure to be immaterial.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
     Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report were effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. We believe that a control system, no matter how well designed and operated, cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the control system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected.
     There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that occurred during the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Part II. Other Information
Item 1A. Risk Factors
     We operate in a rapidly changing environment that involves a number of risks that could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results, some of which are beyond our control. In addition to the other information set forth in this report, the risks and uncertainties that we believe are most important for you to consider are discussed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 30, 2006, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us, which we currently deem immaterial or which are similar to those faced by other companies in our industry or business in general, may also impair our business operations. There are no material changes to the Risk Factors described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 30, 2006.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
     Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

Total
    110,396 (2)   $ 14.39 (3)
 
               
 
(1)   There were no other repurchases of our equity securities by or on behalf of us or any affiliated purchaser during the three months ended March 31, 2007.
 
(2)   On March 6, 2007, the compensation committee authorized the Company to withhold 110,396 shares of our common stock to satisfy the minimum tax withholding obligation in connection with the exercise of a non-qualified stock option for 347,710 shares of our common stock.
 
(3)   The amount represents the last reported sale price of our common stock on the NASDAQ Global Market on March 6, 2007.
Item 5. Other Information
     Our policy governing transactions in our securities by directors, officers, and employees permits our officers, directors, funds affiliated with our directors, and certain other persons to enter into trading plans complying with Rule 10b5-l under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. We have been advised that certain officers (including Geoffrey Clear, Senior Vice President, Chief Financial Officer & Treasurer and Glen Weinstein, Senior Vice President, General Counsel & Secretary) of the Company have entered into a trading plan (each a “Plan” and collectively, the “Plans”) covering periods after the date of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q in accordance with Rule 10b5-l and our policy governing transactions in our securities. Generally, under these trading plans, the individual relinquishes control over the transactions once the trading plan is put into place. Accordingly, sales under these plans may occur at any time, including possibly before, simultaneously with, or immediately after significant events involving our company.
     We anticipate that, as permitted by Rule 10b5-l and our policy governing transactions in our securities, some or all of our officers, directors and employees may establish trading plans in the future. We intend to disclose the

names of executive officers and directors who establish a trading plan in compliance with Rule 10b5-l and the requirements of our policy governing transactions in our securities in our future quarterly and annual reports on Form 10-Q and 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. However, we undertake no obligation to update or revise the information provided herein, including for revision or termination of an established trading plan, other than in such quarterly and annual reports.
