Highlight of Business Operations:

Our total net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2010 increased 47% to $479.3 million compared with total net sales of $326.1 million in the same period of the prior fiscal year. We believe the increase is primarily due to more stable economic conditions resulting in improved consumer demand, as well as the sales of our LifeSize products, which were not included in net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2009. Retail sales and units increased 39%, while OEM sales and units increased 38% and 35%. Retail sales in our Americas, EMEA and Asia Pacific regions increased 65%, 21% and 24% in the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared with the three months ended June 30, 2009.

In our OEM channel in the past several quarters, the shift away from desktop PCs adversely affected our sales of OEM mice, which are sold with name-brand desktop PCs. However in the three months ended June 30, 2010, we achieved double-digit growth in sales of our OEM mice compared with the same period in the prior fiscal year, with sales increasing 22% and units increasing 27%. Our OEM mice sales have historically made up the bulk of our OEM sales. Our OEM sales accounted for 12% and 13% of total revenues during the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009.

OEM sales and units increased 38% and 35% during the quarter ended June 30, 2010 compared with the same period in the prior fiscal year, primarily due to sales of our OEM mice, keyboards and microphones for console singing games. Sales of our OEM mice increased 22% and units increased 27% during the quarter compared with the same period in the prior fiscal year. OEM keyboard sales more than doubled in dollars as well as in units during the quarter compared with the prior year. Sales of our microphones for console singing games also made a strong contribution to the growth in OEM sales.

Retail unit sales of our pointing devices increased 60% in the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared with the same period in the prior fiscal year. The growth in dollar sales was driven by sales of cordless mice which increased 57%, while units increased 91% over the same period in the prior fiscal year. We achieved strong sales and unit growth in both our high-end as well as our value-priced cordless mice. Sales in the high-end category benefited from the continued strength of our two high performance MX mice, the Performance Mouse MX and the Anywhere Mouse MX, while sales in the value-priced category were led by two of our wireless mice for notebooks, the M215 and M305. Sales and units of corded mice increased 15% and 36% in the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared with the prior year, driven by sales of our M100 mouse and our gaming mouse G500.

Retail audio unit sales increased 17% in the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared with the same period in the prior year. PC speaker sales increased 37% in dollars and 21% in units, primarily due to increased sales of our Z-5500 digital speakers. Sales of our iPod speakers increased 14% in dollars and 39% in units in the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared with the prior year, with continued positive contribution from sales of our S315i Rechargeable Speakers. PC headset sales grew 24% in dollars in the quarter ended June 30, 2010 compared with the same quarter last year, with units increasing 12%. Our Slim Devices products also made positive contributions to retail audio sales during the quarter.

Retail unit sales of our gaming peripherals decreased 16% during the quarter ended June 30, 2010 compared with the same period in the prior year. PC gaming sales decreased 19% in dollars and 11% in units, primarily due to lower sales of gaming keyboards.
