Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements include Belden Inc. and all of its subsidiaries (the Company, us, we, or our). We eliminate all significant affiliate accounts and transactions in consolidation.
The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements presented as of any date other than December 31, 2009:
    Are prepared from the books and records without audit, and
 
    Are prepared in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q and do not include all of the information required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete statements, but
 
    Include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements.
These Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Supplementary Data contained in our 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Business Description
We design, manufacture, and market cable, connectivity, and networking products in markets including industrial automation, enterprise, transportation, infrastructure, and consumer electronics.
Reporting Periods
Historically, our fiscal first, second and third quarters each ended on the last Sunday falling on or before their respective calendar quarter-end. Beginning in 2010, our fiscal first quarter ends on the Sunday falling closest to 91 days after December 31. Our fiscal second and third quarters continue to fall on the Sunday which is 91 days after the preceding quarter-end. Our fiscal year and fiscal fourth quarter continue to both end on December 31.
The six months ended July 4, 2010 and June 28, 2009 included 185 and 179 calendar days, respectively.
Reclassifications
We have made certain reclassifications to the 2009 Consolidated Financial Statements with no impact to reported net income (loss) in order to conform to the 2010 presentation.
Fair Value Measurement
Accounting guidance for fair value measurements specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based upon whether the inputs to those valuation techniques reflect assumptions other market participants would use based upon market data obtained from independent sources or reflect our own assumptions of market participant valuation. The hierarchy is broken down into three levels based on the reliability of the inputs as follows:
    Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets that are unadjusted and accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;
 
    Level 2 – Quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, or financial instruments for which significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly;
 
    Level 3 – Prices or valuations that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.
As of and during the three and six months ended July 4, 2010 and June 28, 2009, we utilized Level 1 inputs to determine the fair value of cash equivalents, and we utilized Level 2 inputs to determine the fair value of certain long-lived assets (see Note 5) and derivatives and hedging instruments (see Note 8). We did not have any transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements during the three and six months ended July 4, 2010.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
We classify cash on hand and deposits in banks, including commercial paper, money market accounts, and other investments with an original maturity of three months or less, that we hold from time to time, as cash and cash equivalents. We periodically have cash equivalents consisting of short-term money market funds and other investments. The primary objective of our investment activities is to preserve our capital for the purpose of funding operations. We do not enter into investments for trading or speculative purposes. The fair value of these cash equivalents as of July 4, 2010 was $97.9 million and is based on quoted market prices in active markets (i.e., Level 1 valuation).
Contingent Liabilities
We have established liabilities for environmental and legal contingencies that are probable of occurrence and reasonably estimable. We accrue environmental remediation costs, on an undiscounted basis, based on estimates of known environmental remediation exposures developed in consultation with our environmental consultants and legal counsel. We are, from time to time, subject to routine litigation incidental to our business. These lawsuits primarily involve claims for damages arising out of the use of our products, allegations of patent or trademark infringement, and litigation and administrative proceedings involving employment matters and commercial disputes. Based on facts currently available, we believe the disposition of the claims that are pending or asserted will not have a materially adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flow.
As of July 4, 2010, we were party to bank guaranties, standby letters of credit, and surety bonds totaling $10.1 million, $9.2 million, and $1.6 million, respectively.
Revenue Recognition
We recognize revenue when all of the following circumstances are satisfied: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (2) price is fixed or determinable, (3) collectibility is reasonably assured, and (4) delivery has occurred. Delivery occurs in the period in which the customer takes title and assumes the risks and rewards of ownership of the products specified in the customer’s purchase order or sales agreement. We record revenue net of estimated rebates, price allowances, invoicing adjustments, and product returns. We charge revisions to these estimates to accounts receivable and revenue in the period in which the facts that give rise to each revision become known.
In October 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued updates to existing guidance on revenue recognition that we adopted on a prospective basis on January 1, 2010. Under the new guidance, sales of tangible products that have software components that are essential to the functionality of the tangible product are no longer within the scope of the software revenue recognition guidance and are now subject to other relevant revenue recognition guidance. Additionally, the FASB issued an update to existing guidance on revenue arrangements with multiple deliverables that are outside the scope of the software revenue recognition guidance. Under the new guidance, when Vendor Specific Objective Evidence (VSOE) or Third Party Evidence (TPE) of the selling price for deliverables in an arrangement cannot be determined, a best estimate of the selling price is required to separate deliverables and allocate arrangement consideration using the relative selling price method.
Sales from our Wireless segment often involve multiple elements, principally hardware, software, hardware and software maintenance, and other support services (maintenance and other support services referred to as post-contract customer support). As a result of the adoption of the new accounting guidance, our Wireless segment’s sales of hardware that include software components are no longer subject to software revenue recognition requirements. In addition, the timing of revenue recognition and amount of revenue to be recognized for each deliverable changed such that less revenue is deferred on arrangements with multiple deliverables for which VSOE has not been established than prior to the adoption of this accounting guidance. For hardware deliverables, revenue is recognized upon delivery. For software deliverables, revenue is recognized upon delivery, unless post-contract customer support is included, in which case the revenue is deferred and recognized over the period of the post-contract customer support. For post-contract customer support, revenue is recognized ratably over the maintenance or support period. The recognition period for the majority of our arrangements is one year. However, the recognition period can range up to three years in some instances. The allocation of the total revenue among the delivered items is based on the estimated selling price of the deliverables, as we have not established VSOE or TPE of selling price. The best estimate of the selling price for each deliverable is determined based on an analysis of the historical average price of such deliverable when sold on a stand-alone basis.
For fiscal years ending December 31, 2009 and prior, when a sale involved multiple elements, we allocated the proceeds from the arrangement to each respective element based on its VSOE of fair value, if established, and recognized revenue when each element’s revenue recognition criteria was met. VSOE of fair value for each element is established based on the price charged when the same element is sold separately. If VSOE of fair value could not be established, the proceeds from the arrangement were deferred and recognized ratably over the period related to the last delivered element. Through December 31, 2009, our Wireless segment could not establish VSOE of fair value of hardware, software, and post-contract customer support. As a result, the proceeds and related cost of sales from multiple-element revenue transactions involving these elements were deferred and recognized ratably over the post-contract customer support period, ranging from one to three years.
Our Wireless segment revenues and operating loss for the three months ended July 4, 2010 would have been $12.3 million and $4.4 million, respectively, prior to the adoption of this new accounting guidance. Our Wireless segment revenues and operating loss for the six months ended July 4, 2010 would have been $24.5 million and $9.7 million, respectively, prior to the adoption of this new accounting guidance. See Note 2 for actual operating results.
The following table shows the amount of deferred revenue and cost of sales related to our Wireless segment as of July 4, 2010 and December 31, 2009.

Discontinued Operations
During 2005, we completed the sale of our discontinued communications cable operation in Phoenix, Arizona. In connection with this sale and the related tax deductions, we established a reserve for uncertain tax positions. In the three and six month periods ended July 4, 2010, we recognized $0.3 million and $0.5 million of interest expense, respectively ($0.2 million and $0.3 million net of tax, respectively) related to the uncertain tax positions, which is included in discontinued operations. Due to the utilization of other net operating loss carryforwards, we did not recognize interest expense related to this reserve in the comparable periods of 2009.
Other Income (Expense)
During the six months ended July 4, 2010, we recorded $1.5 million of other income related to an escrow settlement. The escrow settlement related to indemnification for certain tax matters arising from a previous acquisition. During the six months ended June 28, 2009, we recorded $1.5 million of other expense due to fees incurred related to an amendment of our senior secured credit facility, as discussed in Note 7.
Subsequent Events
We have evaluated subsequent events after the balance sheet date through the financial statement issuance date for appropriate accounting and disclosure.
Current-Year Adoption of Accounting Pronouncements
On January 1, 2010, we adopted changes issued by the FASB with regard to the disclosures of fair value measurements. This new guidance requires disclosures about transfers into and out of Level 1 and 2 fair value measurements, as well as separate disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements relating to recurring Level 3 fair value measurements. It also clarifies existing fair value disclosures about the level of disaggregation and about inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our disclosures.
Refer to the discussion above under Revenue Recognition for an analysis of the adoption of other new accounting guidance.

Long-Lived Assets
Long-Lived Assets
Note 5: Long-Lived Assets
Disposals
During the six months ended July 4, 2010, we sold certain real estate of the EMEA segment for $1.8 million. There was no gain or loss recognized on the sale.
During the six months ended June 28, 2009, we sold a 95% ownership interest in a German cable business that sells primarily to the automotive industry. The sales price was $0.4 million, and we recognized a loss of $17.2 million on the transaction. In addition to retaining a 5% interest in the business, we retained the associated land and building, which we are leasing to the buyer. The lease term is 15 years with a lessee option to renew up to an additional 10 years. During the three months ended July 4, 2010, we sold the remaining 5% interest in the business for less than $0.1 million. There was no gain or loss recognized on the sale of the remaining 5% interest.
Impairments
We did not record any asset impairment losses during the three and six months ended July 4, 2010.
During the six months ended June 28, 2009, we determined that certain long-lived assets of the German cable business we sold during that period were impaired. We estimated the fair market value of those assets based upon the terms of the sales agreement and recognized an impairment loss of $20.4 million in the operating results of the EMEA segment. Of this total impairment loss, $14.1 million related to machinery and equipment and $2.7 million, $2.3 million, and $1.3 million related to trademarks, developed technology, and customer relations intangible assets, respectively. We also recognized impairment losses on property, plant and equipment of $3.6 million, $1.2 million, and $1.0 million in the Americas, EMEA, and Asia Pacific segments, respectively, primarily related to our decisions to consolidate capacity and dispose of excess machinery and equipment. The fair values of those assets were based upon quoted prices for identical assets (i.e., Level 2 valuation).
Depreciation and Amortization Expense
We recognized depreciation expense of $9.9 million and $20.3 million in the three and six month periods ended July 4, 2010, respectively. We recognized depreciation expense of $9.7 million and $19.0 million in the three and six month periods ended June 28, 2009, respectively.
We recognized amortization expense related to our intangible assets of $4.1 million and $8.4 million in the three and six month periods ended July 4, 2010, respectively. We recognized amortization expense related to our intangible assets of $3.9 million and $7.8 million in the three and six month periods ended June 28, 2009, respectively.
Restructuring Activities

Note 6: Restructuring Activities
Global Restructuring
In the fourth quarter of 2008, we announced our decision to streamline our manufacturing, sales, and administrative functions worldwide in an effort to reduce costs and mitigate the impact of the weakening demand experienced throughout the global economy. During 2010, we continued to implement our plan to streamline these functions and recognized severance costs primarily in the Americas segment totaling $1.1 million (recorded in Cost of Sales) related to these restructuring activities and the planned closure of one of our two manufacturing plants in Leominster, Massachusetts. From inception of these restructuring actions through July 4, 2010, we have recognized severance costs totaling $55.8 million. We do not expect to recognize any additional severance costs related to these restructuring activities.
The table below sets forth severance activity that occurred during 2010. The balances are included in accrued liabilities.

Long-Term Debt and Other Borrowing Arrangements
Long-Term Debt and Other Borrowing Arrangements
Note 7: Long-Term Debt and Other Borrowing Arrangements
Senior Subordinated Notes
In the third quarter of 2009, we issued $200.0 million in senior subordinated notes due 2019 with a coupon interest rate of 9.25% and an effective interest rate of 9.75%. The notes are guaranteed on a senior subordinated basis by certain of our domestic subsidiaries. The notes rank equal in right of payment with our senior subordinated notes due 2017 and with any future senior subordinated debt, and they are subordinated to all of our senior debt and the senior debt of our subsidiary guarantors, including our senior secured credit facility. Interest is payable semi-annually on June 15 and December 15. We used the $193.7 million in proceeds of this debt offering to repay amounts drawn under our senior secured credit facility. As of July 4, 2010, the carrying value of the notes was $198.8 million. See Note 8 for a discussion of changes to the carrying value of the notes due to hedge accounting.
We also have outstanding $350.0 million aggregate principal amount of 7.0% senior subordinated notes due 2017. The notes are guaranteed on a senior subordinated basis by certain of our domestic subsidiaries. The notes rank equal in right of payment with our senior subordinated notes due 2019 and with any future senior subordinated debt. They are subordinated to all of our senior debt and the senior debt of our subsidiary guarantors, including our senior secured credit facility. Interest is payable semi-annually on March 15 and September 15.
Senior Secured Credit Facility
In the first quarter of 2009, we amended our senior secured credit facility and changed the definition of EBITDA used in the computation of the debt-to-EBITDA leverage ratio covenant. The amendment also increased the cost of borrowings under the facility by 100 basis points and we incurred $1.5 million of fees that are included in other expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. In the third quarter of 2009, we further amended the facility to extend the term from January 2011 to January 2013 and to reduce the size from $350.0 million to $250.0 million through January 2011. In January 2011, the size of the facility reduces from $250.0 million to $230.0 million. The amendment also alters the level of the total leverage ratio covenant, increases the cost of borrowing under the facility, and inserts an asset coverage ratio covenant when the total leverage ratio is in excess of certain levels. As of July 4, 2010, we were in compliance with all of the amended covenants of the facility.
As of July 4, 2010, there were no outstanding borrowings under the facility, and we had $171.9 million in available borrowing capacity. The facility has a variable interest rate based on LIBOR or the prime rate and is secured by our overall cash flow and certain of our assets in the United States.
Fair Value of Long-Term Debt
The fair value of our debt instruments at July 4, 2010 was approximately $543.7 million based on sales prices of the debt instruments from recent trading activity. This amount represents the fair value of our senior subordinated notes with an aggregate principal amount of $550.0 million.
Derivatives And Hedging Activities
Derivatives and Hedging Activities
Note 8: Derivatives and Hedging Activities
We are exposed to various market risks, including fluctuations in interest rates. We use interest rate agreements to manage our costs and reduce our exposure to interest rate risk. We manage our exposure to interest rate risk by maintaining a mix of fixed and variable rate debt. During the quarter ended July 4, 2010, we entered into $200.0 million notional amount of interest rate swap agreements that expire in 2019. The interest rate swaps are receive-fixed, pay-variable rate, and they allowed us to adjust our relative proportion of fixed and floating rate debt. We also entered into a separate $200.0 million notional amount interest rate cap agreement, which caps the variable rate that we are exposed to in the interest rate swaps. We do not hold or issue any derivative instrument for trading or speculative purposes.
These agreements, which represent our derivative instruments, expose us to credit risk to the extent that the counterparties to our interest rate agreements may be unable to meet the terms of the agreements. We seek to mitigate such risks by limiting the counterparties to major financial institutions and by executing our agreements across multiple counterparties.
The interest rate swaps have been formally designated and qualify as fair value hedges. We perform a quarterly assessment of the effectiveness of the hedge relationship, and we measure and recognize any hedge ineffectiveness in earnings. The interest rate swaps have been recorded at fair value in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Gains and losses due to changes in fair value of the interest rate swaps substantially offset changes in the fair value of the hedged portion of the underlying debt. Changes in fair value of both the interest rate swaps and the hedged portion of the underlying debt both are recognized in interest expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The interest rate cap has not been designated as a hedging instrument. It has been recorded at fair value in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, and changes in fair value of the interest rate cap are recognized in interest expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
All cash flows associated with derivatives are classified as operating cash flows in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
The fair value of our derivatives designated as hedging instruments as of July 4, 2010 was $3.6 million, classified within other non-current assets within the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The fair value of our derivatives without hedging designation as of July 4, 2010 was $1.8 million, classified within other non-current liabilities within the Consolidated Balance Sheets. There were no outstanding derivatives as of December 31, 2009.
The gains (losses) for the three and six month periods ended July 4, 2010 attributed to our derivatives designated as hedging instruments are summarized in the table below:
                 
Income Statement   Gain/(loss) on interest      
   Classification   rate swaps   Gain/(loss) on borrowings
                 (in thousands)  
         
Interest Expense
  $ 3,625     $ (4,619 )
         
The difference between the gain on the interest rate swaps and the loss on borrowings represents hedge ineffectiveness of $1.0 million.
The loss for the three and six month periods ended July 4, 2010 attributed to our interest rate cap, our derivative without hedging designation, was $1.8 million, classified within interest expense within the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
There were no gains (losses) related to derivatives and hedging instruments for the three and six month periods ended June 28, 2009.
Interest rate derivatives are valued using a present value calculation based on an implied 3-month forward LIBOR curve (adjusted for non-performance risk) and are classified within level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Income Taxes
Income Taxes
Note 9: Income Taxes
Income tax expense was $4.5 million and $8.0 million for the three and six month periods ended July 4, 2010. The effective rate reflected in the provision for income taxes on income from continuing operations before taxes is 18.6% and 20.2% for the three and six month periods ended July 4, 2010. The primary factor in the difference between the effective rate and the amount determined by applying the applicable statutory United States tax rate of 35% is the tax rate differential associated with our foreign earnings.
