Interest in<strong>com</strong>e and expense for fiscal years 2006 and 2005 were as follows (in thousands):<br />

Interest in<strong>com</strong>e was higher <strong>com</strong>pared with the prior year due to higher invested cash balances and higher returns earned on invested<br />

amounts. Interest expense decreased due to lower interest, including lower amortization of the accreted redemption premium, as a result of<br />

conversion of the convertible bonds during the third quarter of fiscal year 2006.<br />

The increase in net foreign currency exchange gains in fiscal year 2006 primarily resulted from a one-time gain of $3.1 million related to<br />

an exchange of the Company’s Euro currency for U.S. dollars. The Company does not speculate in currency positions, but is alert to<br />

opportunities to maximize its foreign exchange gains. The Company also impaired an investment and recorded a gain on the sale of another<br />

investment.<br />

At March 31, 2007, net working capital was $542.4 million, <strong>com</strong>pared with $407.9 million at March 31, 2006. The increase in working<br />

capital was primarily due to a significant increase in cash flow from operations, partially offset by an increase in accrued liabilities.<br />

Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments totaled $410.8 million at March 31, 2007, an increase of $165.8 million from<br />

March 31, 2006. Operating activities provided $303.8 million in cash. We used $138.1 million to repurchase shares under the share buyback<br />

program and $47.2 million for capital expenditures, including investments for information system upgrades, manufacturing equipment and<br />

tooling costs. We also had net purchases of short-term investments of $214.6 million, and used $20.6 for an acquisition.<br />
