The decrease in research and development expenses was primarily attributable to a reduction in stock-based compensation of approximately $16.5 million as described below, which was offset by an increase of $7.9 million for salaries and benefits, primarily due to anticipated higher bonuses levels in connection with increased profitability for fiscal year 2010. Additionally, the increase in salaries and benefits includes a $2.8 million decrease attributable to the transition of our field applications engineers and our business managers from research and development to selling, general and administrative functions.

Increases in net income of $64.3 million and increases in other working capital changes of $156.1 million for the nine months ended March 27, 2010 compared with the nine months ended March 28, 2009 were offset by a decrease in non-cash adjustments of approximately $222.0 million.

The decrease in cash used in investing activities is primarily due to an increase in net maturities on short-term investments of $97.3 million as the Company shifted its investment portfolio maturing during the nine months ended March 27, 2010 to money market funds. Cash used in investing activities included $80.2 million and $103.5 million in capital expenditures, and $4.0 million and $61.0 million of cash used for acquisitions, during the nine months ended March 27, 2010 and the nine months ended March 28, 2009, respectively.

Net cash used in financing activities decreased by approximately $194.2 million for the nine months ended March 27, 2010 compared with the nine months ended March 28, 2009. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in repurchases of common stock of $121.5 million under our repurchase program which commenced in October 2008 and reduced payments of $35.6 million and $12.7 million associated with completion of the RSU loan program and settlement of tendered options and expiring options under the goodwill programs, respectively.
