**DATA I/O CORPORATION**

**NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

**(UNAUDITED)**

 

**NOTE 1 - FINANCIAL STATEMENT PREPARATION**

 

Data I/O prepared the financial statements as of June 30, 2009 and 2008, according to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). These statements are unaudited but, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments and accruals) necessary to present fairly the results for the periods presented. The balance sheet at            December 31, 2008 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date. We have condensed or omitted certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America according to such SEC rules and regulations. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for            the year ending December 31, 2009. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual audited financial statements and the accompanying notes included in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Data I/O recognizes revenue at the time of shipment. When arrangements include multiple elements, we use objective evidence of fair value to allocate revenue to the elements pursuant to EITF 00-21,*Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables*, and recognize revenue when the criteria for revenue recognition have been met for each element according            to SAB 104,*Revenue Recognition*. The amount of revenue recognized is affected by our judgments as to the collectibility of the transaction or whether an arrangement includes multiple elements and if so, whether specific objective evidence of fair value exists for those elements.

 

Installation that is considered perfunctory includes any installation that can be performed by other parties, such as distributors, other vendors, or in most cases the customers themselves. This takes into account the complexity, skill, and training needed as well as customer expectations regarding installation. The revenue related to products requiring installation that is perfunctory is recognized            at the time of shipment provided that persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, shipment has occurred, the price is fixed or determinable, and collectibility is reasonably assured. We measure the standalone fair value of the product versus the service installation value component by the amount paid to independent representative service groups or the amount of additional discount given to independent distributors to provide the service installation.

 

We record revenue from the sale of service and update contracts as deferred revenue and we recognize it on a straight-line basis over the contractual period, which is typically one year. We establish a reserve for sales returns based on historical trends in product returns and estimates for new items. We have a stated return policy that customers can return standard products for any reason within 30            days after delivery, provided that the returned product is received in its original condition, including all packaging materials, for a refund of the price paid less a restocking charge of 30% of the total amount invoiced for the product returned, unless such restocking charge is waived in writing by Data I/O.

 

Data I/O’s software products are not normally sold separately from sales of programming systems. However, on those occasions where we sell software separately, we recognize revenue when a sales agreement exists, when delivery has occurred, when the fee is fixed or determinable, and when collection is probable.

 

Stock-Based Compensation Expense

 

On January 1, 2006, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004),*Share-Based Payment*, (“SFAS 123(R)”) and the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulleting No. 107 (“SAB 107”) requiring the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based            payment awards, including employee stock options, stock awards, and employee stock purchases, based on estimated fair values on the grant dates. The Company adopted SFAS 123(R) using the modified prospective method, which required the application of the accounting standard as of January 1, 2006. Total share-based compensation for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 was $94,000 and $188,000, respectively. Total share-based compensation for the three and six months ended June            30, 2008 was $106,000 and $199,000, respectively.

The Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Interpretation No. 48,*Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes*(“FIN 48”) on January 1, 2007. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting and disclosure for uncertainty in income taxes by prescribing the minimum recognition threshold a tax position            is

 required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements. It also provides guidance on derecognition, measurement, classification, interest and penalties, accounting for interim periods, disclosure and transition, and clearly scopes income taxes out of Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 5,*Accounting for            Contingencies*.

 

Historically, the Company has not incurred any interest or penalties associated with tax matters and no interest or penalties were recognized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2009. However, the Company has adopted a policy whereby amounts related to interest and penalties associated with tax matters are classified as general and administrative expense when incurred.

 

The Company has incurred net operating losses in certain past years.  The Company continues to maintain a valuation allowance for the full amount of the net deferred tax asset balance associated with its net operating losses as sufficient uncertainty exists regarding its ability to realize such tax assets in the future. There was $74,000 of unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax            positions as of June 30, 2009. The Company expects the amount of the net deferred tax asset balance and full valuation allowance in future periods to decrease if we have future net income or increase if we incur future net operating losses.

 

Tax years that remain open for examination include 2005, 2006, 2007, and 2008 in the United States of America. In addition, tax years from 1999 to 2004 may be subject to examination in the event that the Company utilizes the NOL’s or other carry forwards from those years in its current or future year tax return.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 157,*Fair Value Measurements*(SFAS 157). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This statement was originally effective for            financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP FIN) No. 157-2 which extended the effective date for certain nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. Data I/O adopted the effective portions of SFAS 157 effective December 1, 2007, which did not have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements. The adoption of the            remaining portions of SFAS 157-2 on our financial statements and has not had a significant impact on the reporting of our financial position and results of operations.

 

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159,*The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities* *—* *Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115*(“SFAS No. 159”). SFAS No. 159 permits an entity, at            specified election dates, to choose to measure certain financial instruments and other items at fair value. The objective of SFAS No. 159 is to provide entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently, without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. SFAS No. 159 is effective for accounting periods beginning after November 15, 2007. Data I/O’s adoption of SFAS No. 159 did not            have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007) (“SFAS 141(R)”),*Business Combinations*. SFAS 141(R) makes significant changes to the accounting and reporting standards for business acquisitions. SFAS 141(R) establishes principles and requirements for an acquirer’s financial statement recognition and measurement of            the assets acquired; the liabilities assumed, including those arising from contractual contingencies; any contingent consideration; and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at the acquisition date. SFAS 141(R) amends SFAS No. 109,*Accounting for Income Taxes*, to require the acquirer to recognize changes in the amount of its deferred tax benefits that are recognizable as a result of a business combination either in income from            continuing operations in the period of the combination or directly in contributed capital, depending on the circumstances. The statement also amends SFAS No. 142,*Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets*, to, among other things, provide guidance for the impairment testing of acquired research and development intangible assets and assets that the acquirer intends not to use. SFAS 141(R) was effective for the Company’s fiscal year            beginning January 1, 2009. The adoption of SFAS 141(R) has had no current effect for the first or second quarter of 2009, but it will have an impact on the accounting for, and the effect will depend upon the nature of, business combinations occurring in the future.

 

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161,*Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities - an amendment of FASB Statement No.* *133,*(SFAS No. 161), which requires companies to provide additional disclosures about its objectives and strategies for using derivative            instruments; how the derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS No. 133,*Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities*, and related interpretations; and how the derivative instruments and related hedged items affect our financial statements. SFAS No. 161 also requires companies to disclose information about credit risk-related contingent features in their hedged positions.            SFAS No. 161 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. Adoption has not had a material impact on our financial position or operating results.

In April 2009, the FASB issued Staff Position (“FSP”) FAS 157-4,*Determining Fair Value When the Volume or Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly*(“FSP FAS157-4”). FSP FAS 157-4 provides additional guidance for estimating            fair value in accordance with SFAS No. 157 when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased and requires that companies provide interim and annual disclosures of the inputs and valuation technique(s) used to measure fair value. FSP FAS 157-4 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009 and is to be applied prospectively. The adoption of FSP FAS 157-4 did not have a material impact on our            financial statements.

 

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2,*Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments*. FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 amends the other-than-temporary impairment guidance to improve the presentation and disclosure of other-than-temporary impairments on debt and equity securities in the financial statements. FSP FAS            115-2 and FAS 124-2 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 did not have a material impact on our financial statements.

 

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1,*Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments*. FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 requires disclosures about fair value of financial instruments for interim reporting periods of publicly traded companies as well as in annual financial statements. FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 is effective            for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of FSP 107-1 and APB 28-1 did not have a material impact on our financial statements.

 

In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165,*Subsequent Events*“SFAS No. 165”. The objective of this Statement is to establish general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. This statement is effective for interim and annual            financial periods ending after June 15, 2009. The impact of adopting SFAS No. 165 had no financial effect on the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. We have evaluated subsequent events up through August 13, 2009.

 

In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 168,*The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, a replacement of FASB Statement No.* *162*, which identifies            the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with GAAP in the United States (the GAAP hierarchy). This statement is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The adoption of this standard will change how the Company references various elements of GAAP when preparing its            financial statement disclosures, but will have no impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operation or cash flows.

**NOTE 5 – BUSINESS RESTRUCTURING**

 

The restructuring activities started during the second half of 2006 to reduce expenses and improve margins continued during the first and second quarters of 2007, to further improve our operating results and the effectiveness of our sales and marketing organization and sales channels. These actions included re-engineering some internal processes, integrating some activities, transferring some            activities to our lower cost base of operations in China, reducing resources applied to declining legacy products, moving some engineering positions to production, reducing the number of taxable entities, outsourcing some functions such as payroll, combining some positions, eliminating some functions, and shifting some responsibilities and resources to our channels. During 2007 restructuring charges totaled $725,000 and were primarily severance related, along with some facility            related exit costs.

 

As a result of the business down turn we were experiencing in the fourth quarter of 2008 and the uncertain business outlook, additional actions to reduce expenses were taken. This resulted in a restructuring charge primarily related to severance during the fourth quarter of $535,000 and total of $542,000 for the year 2008. During the first quarter of 2009, restructure activities resulted in net            additional charges of $22,000 representing severance and costs associated with terminating vehicle leases. During the second quarter, we consolidated our operations into a smaller portion of our leased space, resulting in a lease abandonment restructure charge of $208,000, partially offset by reductions in previously accrued personnel, automobile leases and legal restructuring costs. At June 30, 2009, $256,000 remains accrued and is expected to be paid out during 2009 except for the            lease abandonment period amounts which will be fully paid out in July 2011.

**NOTE 10 – EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE**

 

Basic earnings (loss) per share is calculated based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated based on these same weighted average shares outstanding plus the effect of potential shares issuable upon assumed exercise of stock options based on the treasury stock method. Potential shares issuable upon the exercise of stock            options are excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share to the extent their effect would be antidilutive.

**NOTE 14 – FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION AND DERIVATIVES**

 

Data I/O translates assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. We translate revenues, costs and expenses of foreign subsidiaries at average rates of exchange prevailing during the year. We charge our translation adjustments resulting from this process to other comprehensive income (a component of stockholders’ equity), net of taxes. Realized            and unrealized gains and losses resulting from the effects of changes in exchange rates on assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are included in non-operating expense as foreign currency transaction gains and losses.

 

Data I/O accounts for its hedging activities in accordance with SFAS No. 133,*Accounting for Derivatives and Hedging Activities*. This statement establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments and requires recognition of derivatives as assets or liabilities in the statement of financial position and measurement of those            instruments at fair value.

 

Data I/O utilizes forward foreign exchange contracts to reduce the impact of foreign currency exchange rate risks where natural hedging strategies cannot be effectively employed. All hedging instruments held by us are fair value hedges. Generally, these contracts have maturities less than one year and requireus to exchange foreign currencies for U.S. dollars at maturity. At June 30, 2009, we had            closed out all hedges and had no foreign exchange contracts outstanding.

 

Data I/O does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. The purpose of our hedging activities is to reduce the risk that the valuation of the underlying assets, liabilities and firm commitments will be adversely affected by changes in exchange rates. Our derivative activities do not create foreign currency exchange rate risk because fluctuations in the value of the            instruments used for hedging purposes are offset by fluctuations in the value of the underlying exposures being hedged.

**OVERVIEW**

 

We continued to focus on our primary goal of managing the business to achieve profitable operations in these difficult economic times, while developing, launching and enhancing products to drive revenue and earnings growth. Our challenge continues to be operating in a cyclical and challenging industry environment.

 

We experienced in the fourth quarter of 2008 a significant decline in business, which together with an uncertain economic outlook caused us to determine that additional cost and expense reduction measures were necessary. We took a restructuring charge of $535,000 in the fourth quarter of 2008, primarily related to severance, to further lower the revenue breakeven point for Data I/0. This business            decline continued during the first and second quarters of 2009 and we took additional restructuring actions that resulted in a net charge of $22,000 and $158,000, respectively. We are continuing our efforts to balance business geography shifts, increasing costs and strategic investments in our business with the level of demand and mix of business we expect. Complicating these efforts is the current economic uncertainty. With operating costs at approximately $2.5 million we expect            our current quarterly revenue breakeven point to be around $4.7 million.

 

We are focusing our research and development efforts in our strategic growth markets, namely new programming technology, and automated programming systems for the manufacturing environment. We continue to focus on extending the capabilities and support for our FlashCORE architecture, and the ProLINE-RoadRunner, FLX, PS, and FlashPAK product lines. Our applications innovation strategy provides complete            solutions to target customer’s business problems. These solutions generally have a larger software element, may involve third-party components, and in many cases, will be developed to address a specific customer’s requirements. We believe by adding these features to our strategic product platforms, we will be able to set ourselves apart from other product suppliers and elevate our relationships with our customers to a partner level. We recently announced that the next            generation of our programmer architecture, FlashCORE III, is being introduced and is part of the PS 388, a new member of our PS family of automated programming systems. We have received our first orders for these new products and shipped them in the second quarter of 2009. In July, we received our first repeat orders for these new products.

 

Our key customer focus is on strategic high volume manufacturers in key market segments such as wireless, automotive, industrial controls and programming centers. Our strategy includes supporting new NAND Flash and microcontrollers on our newer products to gain new customers and expand into newer areas. For example, our new PS 388 with FlashCORE III focuses on users of large density flash memory            devices like wireless handset manufacturers and our new ProLINE-RoadRunner XLF provides a new solution for the types of microcontrollers used in the automotive market. We have continued to expand our China operations to take advantage of the growth of manufacturing in China and to operate close to our customers. During 2007, 2008 and the first half of 2009, we have continued to address the effectiveness of our sales and marketing organization and sales channels by adding, training            and changing channels. We recognize the need to diversify our customer base and are continuing to take steps to broaden our channels of distribution and representation to reach a greater number of customers. This decision regarding our China sales operations, made at

the end of the first quarter of 2007, included eliminating some China direct selling expenses and increasing the use of agents that have established relationships with the desired customers. We have also added additional Asian sales channel management to drive Asia sales and manage this important region. We believe these changes helped us more rapidly grow our business in China and Asia during 2008            and convert some of our fixed selling expenses to variable. In the second half of 2008 and during the first half of 2009 we have further focused on broadening our sales coverage in the Americas and have added and trained additional sales representative channels, again expanding the use of a variable cost model.

 

On March 18, 2008, the Company completed the sale of selected patents and patent applications to Leannoux Properties AG L.L.C. Net proceeds were approximately $3.3 million with a net gain of approximately $2.1 million.

 

**BUSINESSRESTRUCTURING**

 

The restructuring activities started during the second half of 2006 to reduce expenses and improve margins continued during the first and second quarters of 2007, to further improve our operating results and the effectiveness of our sales and marketing organization and sales channels. These actions included re-engineering some internal processes, integrating some activities, transferring some            activities to our lower cost base of operations in China, reducing resources applied to declining legacy products, moving some engineering positions to production, reducing the number of taxable entities, outsourcing some functions such as payroll, combining some positions, eliminating some functions, and shifting some responsibilities and resources to our channels. During 2007 restructuring charges totaled $725,000 and were primarily severance related, along with some exiting            facility related costs.

 

As a result of the business down turn we were experiencing in the fourth quarter of 2008 and the uncertain business outlook, additional actions to reduce expenses were taken. This resulted in a restructuring charge primarily related to severance during the fourth quarter of $535,000 and total of $542,000 for the year 2008. During the first quarter of 2009, restructure activities resulted in net            additional charges of $22,000 representing severance and costs associated with terminating vehicle leases. During the second quarter, we consolidated our operations into a smaller portion of our leased space, resulting in a lease abandonment restructure charge of $208,000, partially offset by reductions in previously accrued personnel, automobile leases and legal restructuring costs. At June 30, 2009, $256,000 remains accrued and is expected to be paid out during 2009 except for the            lease abandonment period amounts which will be fully paid out in July 2011.

The revenue decrease of $4.1 million or 52% for the second quarter of 2009 compared to the second quarter of 2008 is primarily due to the current economic downturn with the associated excess capacity and general reduction in capital spending. We experienced decreased sales in all geographies and in each of our product lines. However, revenues did include shipments of our new FlashCORE III programmers            in the new PS 388 and in our PS 588. The backlog of orders totaled $1.3 million at the end of the second quarter of 2009, a decrease compared to the backlog at June 30, 2008 of $2.5 million, but a slight increase compared to backlog at March 31, 2009.

 

For the first six months of 2009 compared to the same period of 2008, sales decreased by approximately 42% and we experienced sales declines in all geographies and for all of our product lines, which we primarily attribute to the economic conditions described above.

 

Typically we have experienced higher seasonal sales in the second half of the year especially for capacity related sales, which may not be typical this year given the excess capacity caused by the economic downturn. However our trend in booking orders while down substantially from the first and second quarter of last year in all geographies, showed growth over the first quarter of 2009 in both Asia            and the Americas. Orders from Asian customers were up over 100% from the first quarter and orders from customers in the Americas were up 16%. Orders from customers in Europe, especially in the automotive business, continued the expected downward trend, down 33% compared with the first quarter of 2009. At the start of the third quarter we are seeing some improvement in orders and are seeing progressively stronger worldwide sales funnels now in the third quarter. We expect our new            products including FlashCORE III to provide revenue growth and expect new revenues from our new sales channels as they gain experience with our product lines.

 

**GROSSMARGIN**

| Percentage of net sales | 48.4%              |   | 56.8%            |   | 52.3% |   | 58.5% |

 

Gross margins during the second quarter of 2009 decreased in both dollars and as a percentage of sales compared to the second quarter of 2008. The overall gross margin decrease in dollars was primarily due to the lower sales volume. The gross margin as a percentage of sales declined primarily due to the impact of the lower sales volume relative to fixed factory costs and inventory write downs of $188,000,            offset in part by favorable warranty experience for the quarter. Direct materials as a percentage of sales slightly improved in the second quarter of 2009 compared to either the second quarter of 2008 or the first quarter of 2009. This indicates that our actual product material cost margins had not eroded.

 

For the first six months of 2009 compared to the same period of 2008, the higher gross margin dollars and gross margin as a percentage of sales are due to the same factors as those described for the second quarter of 2008.

 

**RESEARCH ANDDEVELOPMENT**

Research and development (“R&D”) spending for the second quarter of 2009 compared to the second quarter of 2008 decreased by approximately $158,000 primarily due to the restructure actions and the re-engineering of internal processes. R&D as a percentage of net sales increased primarily due to the decrease in sales for the second quarter of 2009. We have completed the transition of            the majority of device support operations to our China team. New products include the new software shipped in March 2009 used to manage and control

intellectual property in the programming process, as well as FlashCORE III, our new programming architecture, and the PS 388, a new member of the PS family of automated programming system incorporating FlashCORE III.

 

R&D spending for the first six months of 2009 compared to the first six months of 2008 decreased by approximately $224,000 due primarily to the same factors described above.

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses decreased approximately $781,000 for the second quarter of 2009 compared to the second quarter of 2008. This was due primarily to no bonus expense in the second quarter of 2009 compared to $300,000 for bonus expense for the second quarter of 2008 and approximately $210,000 personnel savings from restructure actions, as well as            lower: sales commissions on the decreased sales volume, bad debt expense, marketing expense, depreciation, travel cost, and employee benefit charges.

 

During the first six months of 2009 compared with the same period in 2008, SG&A expense decreased approximately $1,133,000. This was due primarily to no bonus expense in the first half of 2009 compared to $364,000 for bonus expense for the first half of 2008 and approximately $360,000 personnel savings from restructure actions, as well as lower: sales commissions on the decreased sales volume, bad            debt expense, marketing expense, depreciation, travel cost, and employee benefit charges.

| Interest expense | $(5)               |   | ($8)             |   | $(12) |   | $(16) |

 

Interest income decreased during the second quarter of 2009 and for the first six months of 2009 compared to the same period in 2008 due to the lower yields on investments. Interest expense decreased in the second quarter of 2009 and the first six months of 2009 compared to the same period in 2008 due to the lower balance on the equipment capital lease.

| Income tax expense | $8                 |   | $19              |   | $136 |   | $52 |

 

Income tax expense recorded for the second quarter of 2009 and 2008 resulted from foreign and state taxes. The tax effective rate differed from the statutory tax rate primarily due to the effect of valuation allowances and state taxes. Data I/O has a valuation allowance of $9,194,990 as of June 30, 2009. Our deferred tax assets and valuation allowance are reduced by approximately $74,000 associated            with the requirements of FIN 48 accounting for uncertain tax positions.

Financial Condition

 

**LIQUIDITY ANDCAPITALRESOURCES**

 

|  

(in thousands) | June 30,2009 | Change | Dec. 31,2008 |
|------------------------|--------------|--------|--------------|
| Working capital        | $18,047      | $(668) | $18,715      |

 

At June 30, 2009, Data I/O’s principal sources of liquidity consisted of existing cash and cash equivalents which continued to increase during the quarter. Our working capital decreased by $668,000 from December 31, 2008 and our current ratio increased from 4.3 at December 31, 2008 to 5.4 at June 30, 2009.

 

Our cash and cash equivalents increased by approximately $1.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2009 primarily due to collection of customer receivables and inventory reductions, offset in part by the loss from operations and payment of accrued liabilities. Cash provided by operations primarily included a $3.1 million decrease in accounts receivable due the lower sales volume and improved            collections and a $431,000 decrease in inventories.

 

We expect that we will continue to make capital expenditures to support our business. Capital expenditures are expected to be funded by existing and internally generated funds or lease financing.

 

As a result of our significant product development, customer support, international expansion and selling and marketing efforts, we have required substantial working capital to fund our operations. Over the last few years, we restructured our operations to lower our costs and operating expenditures in some geographic regions, while investing in other regions, and to lower the level of revenue required            for our net income breakeven point, to preserve our cash position and to focus on profitable operations. We believe that we have sufficient working capital available under our operating plan to fund our operations and capital requirements through at least the next one year period. Any substantial inability to achieve our current business plan could have a material adverse impact on our financial position, liquidity, or results of operations and may require us to reduce expenditures            and/or seek additional financing.

 

**LONG-TERM DEBT**

| Long-term debt         | $156       | $(63)  | $219         |

 

During the third quarter of 2006, the Company entered into a five year capital lease agreement in the amount of $591,145. The lease was used to fund new equipment and installation associated with our move to the new headquarters facility in July of 2006. See Note 9, “Long-Term Debt.”

 

**OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS**

 

Except as noted above in Note 7, “Operating Lease and Other Commitments”, Data I/O had no off-balance sheet arrangements.

|-------------|-----------------------------|

 

a)Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.

 

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, Data I/O evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act)  as of the  end

----

of the period covered by this report (the “Evaluation Date”). Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable level of assurance level. Disclosure Controls are controls and procedures designed to reasonably assure that information required            to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure Controls are also designed to reasonably assure that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

(b) Changes in internal controls.

 

There were no changes made in our internal controls during the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

Our restructuring actions decreased the number of personnel and reallocated tasks but we did not change our internal controls. However, these restructure actions may have an impact on our internal controls’ operation which we will continue to monitor and evaluate.

 

**PART II - OTHER INFORMATION**

 

| **Item 1.** | **Legal Proceedings** |
|-------------|-----------------------|

 

As of June 30, 2009, Data I/O was not a party to any legal proceedings, the adverse outcome of which in management’s opinion, individually or in the aggregate, would have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial position.

 

From time to time, we may be involved in litigation relating to claims arising out of our operations in the normal course of business.

 

As previously disclosed, on January 22, 2008, our former landlord, (now known as Rowley Properties, Inc.), filed a Complaint in the Superior Court of Washington for King County (No. 08-2-03518-2 SEA) against Data I/O, Robert/Barbara Hiester and Steven/Jane Doe Hiester. The claims against Data I/O included breach of agreement, waste, and an environmental remediation claim for contribution under RCW            70.105D.080. No claim amount was specified in the Complaint. The claims related to a former circuit board fabrication business that Data I/O operated from 1978 to October 1988. We sold that business to Circuit Partners whose officers and principal shareholders were Robert and Barbara Hiester. We agreed to settle this case with Rowley Properties, Inc with the settlement amount paid by our insurer. In April of 2009, Rowley Properties, Inc. and Data I/O entered into a mutual release            and settlement agreement in which they released each other from claims related to this case and Rowley Properties, Inc. indemnified Data I/O against any claims from the other defendants related to this case.
