Engineering and development expenses consist primarily of compensation and related employee benefit costs, service and material costs, occupancy and equipment costs and related computer support costs. During the three months ended June 27, 2010, engineering and development expenses increased to $34.7 million from $34.1 million for the three months ended June 28, 2009. The increase was primarily due to a $1.6 million increase in cash compensation and related employee benefit costs due to an increase in headcount, partially offset by a $0.6 million decrease in outside service costs related to new product development.

Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of compensation and related employee benefit costs, sales commissions, promotional activities and travel for sales and marketing personnel. Sales and marketing expenses increased to $20.4 million for the three months ended June 27, 2010 from $19.5 million for the three months ended June 28, 2009. The increase in sales and marketing expenses was due primarily to a $0.9 million increase in cash compensation and related employee benefit costs, primarily due to higher headcount and increased commissions, and a $0.5 million increase in stock-based compensation. These increases were partially offset by a $0.8 million decrease in amortization of purchased intangible assets due to an intangible asset becoming fully amortized during fiscal 2010.

million and net non-cash charges of $25.4 million, partially offset by a net increase in the non-cash components of working capital of $20.2 million.
