Our cost of revenues for the three months ended January 1, 2011 increased by $15.8 million, or 23 percent, compared to the three months ended January 2, 2010. The increase was primarily related to costs associated with increased product sales resulting from improved market conditions in calendar year 2010 and realizing the benefits of previous cost reduction efforts described more fully in Note 6, Restructuring Liabilities. Our cost of revenues were favorably impacted by approximately $0.5 million as a result of the U.K. pound sterling weakening relative to the U.S. dollar and unfavorably impacted by approximately $0.2 million as a result of the Swiss franc strengthening relative to the U.S. dollar.

Research and development expenses increased by $6.0 million, or 62 percent, for the three months ended January 1, 2011, compared to the three months ended January 2, 2010. During the current quarter, we continued to increase our investment in research and development resources, primarily personnel-related, as we are investing to match the rate of our anticipated revenue growth. The increase was also due to our acquisition of Mintera in July 2010 and Xtellus in December 2009.
