Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of ADTRAN®, Inc. and its subsidiaries (ADTRAN) have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations for reporting on Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, certain information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements are not included herein. The December 31, 2010 Consolidated Balance Sheet is derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of these interim statements have been included and are of a normal and recurring nature. The results of operations for an interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. The interim statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in ADTRAN’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, filed on February 25, 2011 with the SEC.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reporting period. Our more significant estimates include the allowance for doubtful accounts, obsolete and excess inventory reserves, warranty reserves, customer rebates, allowance for sales returns, estimated income tax contingencies, the fair value of stock-based compensation, and the evaluation of other-than-temporary declines in the value of investments. Actual amounts could differ significantly from these estimates.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-08, Testing Goodwill for Impairment (ASU 2011-08). Existing accounting guidance requires that an entity perform a test for goodwill impairment, on at least an annual basis, by first comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then the second step of the test is to be performed to measure the amount of impairment loss, if any. ASU 2011-08 will allow an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the two-step quantitative goodwill impairment test. An entity will no longer be required to calculate the fair value of a reporting unit unless the entity determines, based on a qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that its fair value is less than its carrying amount. This update is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011, with early adoption permitted. We plan to adopt this amendment during the fourth quarter. We do not expect the adoption of this amendment will have a material impact on our consolidated results of operations or financial condition.
In June 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05, Presentation of Comprehensive Income (ASU 2011-05). ASU 2011-05 requires companies to present the components of net income and other comprehensive income either as one continuous statement or as two consecutive statements. ASU 2011-05 eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity. While ASU 2011-05 changes the presentation of comprehensive income, it does not change the components that are recognized in net income or comprehensive income under current accounting guidance. This update is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, ending after December 15, 2011, with early adoption permitted. We plan to adopt this amendment during the first quarter of 2012. Since ASU 2011-05 affects presentation only, it will have no effect on our consolidated results of operations or financial condition.
In May 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-04, Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs (ASU 2011-04). ASU 2011-04 is intended to improve the comparability of fair value measurements presented and disclosed in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and IFRS. The amendments are of two types: (i) those that clarify the Board’s intent about the application of existing fair value measurement and disclosure requirements and (ii) those that change a particular principle or requirement for measuring fair value or for disclosing information about fair value measurements. This update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. We do not expect the adoption of this amendment will have a material impact on our consolidated results of operations or financial condition.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, we adopted the following accounting standards, which had no material effect on our consolidated results of operations or financial condition:
In October 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2009-13, Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements (ASU 2009-13). ASU 2009-13 provides amendments to the criteria in Subtopic 605-25 of the ASC for separating consideration in multiple-deliverable arrangements. As a result of those amendments, multiple-deliverable arrangements are separated in more circumstances than under previously existing U.S. GAAP. ASU 2009-13 established a selling price hierarchy for determining the selling price of a deliverable and replaced the term fair value in the revenue allocation guidance with selling price to clarify that the allocation of revenue is based on entity-specific assumptions rather than assumptions of a marketplace participant. ASU 2009 -13 also eliminated the residual method of allocation and required that arrangement consideration be allocated at the inception of the arrangement to all deliverables using the relative selling price method and required that a vendor determine its best estimate of selling price in a manner that is consistent with that used to determine the price to sell the deliverable on a standalone basis.
We generally sell our products and services separately, but in some circumstances products and services may be sold in bundles that contain multiple deliverables. A sale that includes multiple deliverables is evaluated to determine the units of accounting, and the revenue from the arrangement is allocated to each item requiring separate revenue recognition based on the relative selling price and corresponding terms of the contract. We strive to use vendor-specific objective evidence of selling price. When this evidence is not available, we are generally not able to determine third-party evidence of selling price because of the extent of customization among competing products or services from other companies. In these cases, estimated selling price is determined based on the particular circumstances of the arrangement and is used to allocate revenues to each unit of accounting. Revenue is recognized incrementally as the necessary criteria for each item is met.
We adopted this amendment during the first quarter of 2011. The adoption of this amendment had no effect on our consolidated results of operations and financial condition for the three or nine months ended September 30, 2011.
In October 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2009-14, Certain Revenue Arrangements that Include Software Arrangements. ASU 2009-14 changed the accounting model for revenue arrangements that include both tangible products and software elements. Tangible products containing software components and non-software components that function together to deliver the tangible product’s essential functionality are no longer within the scope of the software revenue guidance in Subtopic 985-605 of the ASC. In addition, ASU 2009-14 requires that hardware components of a tangible product containing software components always be excluded from the software revenue guidance. In that regard, ASU 2009-14 provides additional guidance on how to determine which software, if any, relating to the tangible product also would be excluded from the scope of the software revenue guidance. ASU 2009-14 also provides guidance on how a vendor should allocate arrangement consideration to deliverables in an arrangement that includes both tangible products and software. ASU 2009-14 also provides further guidance on how to allocate arrangement consideration when an arrangement includes deliverables both included and excluded from the scope of the software revenue guidance. We adopted this amendment during the first quarter of 2011. The adoption of this amendment had no effect on our consolidated results of operations and financial condition for the three or nine months ended September 30, 2011.
Business Combinations
BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
2. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
On August 4, 2011, we acquired all of the outstanding stock of Bluesocket, Inc., a provider of wireless network solutions with virtual control, for $23.8 million in cash. The acquisition provides us with IEEE802.11N enterprise class wireless LAN expertise, technology, and products to address the growing transition within small-medium enterprises and large enterprises to wireless networks and mobile devices. We have included the financial results of Bluesocket in our consolidated financial statements since the date of acquisition. Pro forma results of operations for the acquisition have not been presented because the effect of the acquisition was not material to our financial results. The preliminary allocation of the purchase price to the estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date is as follows:

Total purchase price
  $ 23,789  
 
     
The net deferred tax assets acquired are primarily related to net operating losses and previously capitalized and unamortized research and development expense for tax deduction purposes.
The fair value of the customer relationships, developed technology and intellectual property acquired was calculated using an income approach (excess earnings method) and is being amortized using the straight-line method. The customer relationships and intellectual property are being amortized over an estimated useful life of 7 years and the developed technology is being amortized over an average estimated useful life of 4.5 years.
The fair value of the trade names acquired was calculated using an income approach (relief from royalty method) and is being amortized using the straight-line method over the estimate useful life of 4.5 years.
The goodwill of $4.4 million generated from this acquisition is primarily related to expected synergies and was assigned to our Enterprise Networks division. We are evaluating the tax treatment options associated with this transaction. Currently, we do not believe any of the goodwill will be deductible for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
During the three months ended September 30, 2011, we incurred acquisition related expenses and amortization of acquired intangibles of $1.0 million related to this acquisition.
Income Taxes
INCOME TAXES
3. INCOME TAXES
Our effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was 33.2%. The difference between our effective tax rate and the federal statutory rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 is primarily attributable to a benefit for the research tax credit of 2.2 percentage points and a benefit for the manufacturer’s domestic production activities deduction of 2.0 percentage points, partially offset by state income tax provisions of 2.3 percentage points.
Our effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was 34.6%. The difference between our effective tax rate and the federal statutory rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 is primarily attributable to a benefit for the manufacturer’s domestic production activities deduction of 2.5 percentage points, partially offset by state income tax provisions of 2.4 percentage points. The tax provision for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 did not include the benefit of the research tax credit, which expired on December 31, 2009. The credit was reinstated during the fourth quarter of 2010.

The following table summarizes the stock-based compensation expense related to stock options, restricted stock units (RSUs) and restricted stock under the Stock Compensation Topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, which was recognized as follows:

The fair value of our stock options was estimated using the Black-Scholes model. The determination of the fair value of stock options on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes model is affected by our stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of complex and subjective variables that may have a significant impact on the fair value estimate.
The weighted-average assumptions and value of options granted for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 are summarized as follows:
                                 
    Three Months Ended     Nine Months Ended  
    September 30,     September 30,  
    2011     2010     2011     2010  
Expected volatility
    38.31 %     39.75 %     38.31 %     40.92 %
Risk-free interest rate
    1.00 %     1.98 %     1.00 %     2.47 %
Expected dividend yield
    1.19 %     1.27 %     1.19 %     1.51 %
Expected life (in years)
    5.14       5.38       5.14       5.19  
Weighted-average estimated value
  $ 9.52     $ 9.72     $ 9.54     $ 8.29  
The fair value of our RSUs is calculated using a Monte Carlo Simulation valuation method. There were no RSU grants during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 or 2010.
The fair value of restricted stock is equal to the closing price of our stock on the date of grant. There were no restricted stock grants during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 or 2010.
Stock-based compensation expense recognized in our Consolidated Statements of Income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 is based on options, RSUs and restricted stock ultimately expected to vest, and has been reduced for estimated forfeitures. Estimated forfeitures for stock options were based upon historical experience and approximate 2.0% annually. We estimated a 0% forfeiture rate for our RSUs and restricted stock due to the limited number of recipients and historical experience for these awards.
As of September 30, 2011, total compensation expense related to non-vested stock options, RSUs and restricted stock not yet recognized was approximately $23.0 million, which is expected to be recognized over an average remaining recognition period of 3.1 years.
The following table is a summary of our stock options outstanding as of December 31, 2010 and September 30, 2011 and the changes that occurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2011:

The aggregate intrinsic values in the table above represent the total pre-tax intrinsic value (the difference between ADTRAN’s closing stock price on the last trading day of the quarter and the exercise price, multiplied by the number of in-the-money options) that would have been received by the option holders had all option holders exercised their options on September 30, 2011. The aggregate intrinsic value will change based on the fair market value of ADTRAN’s stock.
The total pre-tax intrinsic value of options exercised during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2011 was $0.5 million and $39.5 million, respectively.

At September 30, 2011, we held $6.1 million of deferred compensation plan assets, carried at fair value.
At September 30, 2011, we held $176.7 million of corporate bonds. These bonds are classified as available-for-sale and had an average duration of 0.9 years at September 30, 2011. At September 30, 2011, approximately 1% of our corporate bond portfolio had a credit rating of AAA, 13% had a credit rating of AA, 48% had a credit rating of A, and 38% had a credit rating of BBB. Because our bond portfolio has a high quality rating and contractual maturities of a short duration, we are able to obtain prices for these bonds derived from observable market inputs, or for similar securities traded in an active market, on a daily basis.
At September 30, 2011, we held $140.9 million of municipal fixed-rate bonds. These bonds are classified as available-for-sale and had an average duration of 1.1 years at September 30, 2011. At September 30, 2011, approximately 16% of our municipal fixed-rate bond portfolio had a credit rating of AAA, 66% had a credit rating of AA, and 18% had a credit rating of A. Because our bond portfolio has a high quality rating and contractual maturities of a short duration, we are able to obtain prices for these bonds derived from observable market inputs, or for similar securities traded in an active market, on a daily basis.
At September 30, 2011, we held $60.7 million of municipal variable rate demand notes, all of which were classified as available-for-sale. At September 30, 2011, 14% of our municipal variable rate demand notes had a credit rating of AAA, 72% had a credit rating of AA, 14% had a credit rating of A, and all contained put options of seven days. Despite the long-term nature of their stated contractual maturities, we routinely buy and sell these securities and we believe that we have the ability to quickly liquidate them. Our investments in these securities are recorded at fair value, and the interest rates reset every seven days. We believe we have the ability to sell our variable rate demand notes to the remarketing agent, tender agent or issuer at par value plus accrued interest in the event we decide to liquidate our investment in a particular variable rate demand note. At September 30, 2011, approximately 40% of our variable rate demand notes were supported by letters of credit from banks that we believe to be in good financial condition. The remaining 60% of our variable rate demand notes were supported by standby purchase agreements. As a result of these factors, we had no cumulative gross unrealized holding gains (losses) or gross realized gains (losses) from these investments. All income generated from these investments was recorded as interest income. We have not recorded any losses relating to municipal variable rate demand notes.
At September 30, 2011, we held $0.7 million of a fixed income bond fund.
At September 30, 2011, we held $34.0 million of marketable equity securities, including a single security, of which we held 1.2 million shares, carried at a fair value of $21.3 million. We sold 0.3 million shares of this security during the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The sale of this security resulted in proceeds of $6.1 million and a realized gain of $6.0 million. This single security traded an average of approximately 0.9 million shares per day in the first nine months of 2011 in an active market on a European stock exchange. This single security comprises $20.9 million of the gross unrealized gains included in the fair value of our marketable equity securities at September 30, 2011. The remaining $1.5 million of gross unrealized gains and $1.1 million of gross unrealized losses at September 30, 2011 were spread amongst more than 400 equity securities.
At September 30, 2011, we held a $48.3 million restricted certificate of deposit, which is carried at cost. This investment serves as a collateral deposit against the principal amount outstanding under loans made to ADTRAN pursuant to an Alabama State Industrial Development Authority revenue bond (the Bond). At September 30, 2011, the estimated fair value of the Bond was approximately $48.3 million, based on a debt security with a comparable interest rate and maturity and a Standard and Poor’s credit rating of A+. We have the right to set-off the balance of the Bond with the collateral deposit in order to reduce the balance of the indebtedness. For more information on the Bond, see “Debt” under “Liquidity and Capital Resources” in the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” contained in Item 2 of Part I of this report.
At September 30, 2011, we held $2.2 million of other investments carried at cost, consisting of interests in two private equity funds and an investment in a privately held telecommunications equipment manufacturer. The fair value of these investments was estimated to be approximately $10.4 million at September 30, 2011, based on unobservable inputs including information supplied by the company and the fund managers. We have committed to invest up to an aggregate of $7.9 million in the two private equity funds, and we have contributed $8.4 million as of September 30, 2011, of which $7.7 million has been applied toward these commitments. As of September 30, 2011, we have received distributions related to these two private equity funds of $8.5 million, of which $2.0 million was recorded as investment income. These investments are carried at cost, net of distributions, with distributions in excess of our investment recorded as investment income. The remaining commitment under the funds is $0.2 million, which expires in 2013. We have not been required to record any impairment losses related to these investments during the nine months ended September 30, 2011.
We review our investment portfolio for potential “other-than-temporary” declines in value on an individual investment basis. We assess, on a quarterly basis, significant declines in value which may be considered other-than-temporary and, if necessary, recognize and record the appropriate charge to write-down the carrying value of such investments. In making this assessment, we take into consideration qualitative and quantitative information, including but not limited to the following: the magnitude and duration of historical declines in market prices, credit rating activity, assessments of liquidity, public filings, and statements made by the issuer. We generally begin our identification of potential other-than-temporary impairments by reviewing any security with a fair value that has declined from its original or adjusted cost basis by 25% or more for six or more consecutive months. We then evaluate the individual security based on the previously identified factors to determine the amount of the write-down, if any. As a result of our review, we recorded an other-than-temporary impairment charge of $32 thousand during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 related to seven marketable equity securities. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, we recorded an other-than-temporary impairment charge of $43 thousand related to five marketable equity securities.
In accordance with the Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic of the FASB ASC, we have categorized our cash equivalents held in money market funds and our investments held at fair value into a three-level fair value hierarchy based on the priority of the inputs to the valuation technique for the cash equivalents and investments as follows: Level 1 — Values based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in an active market; Level 2 — Values based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or model inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly; Level 3 — Values based on prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. These inputs include information supplied by investees.

As of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the fair value of the investments in available-for-sale Level 2 corporate bonds and municipal fixed-rate bonds was $317.6 million and $198.5 million, respectively. The fair value of these securities is calculated using a weighted average market price for each security. Market prices are obtained from a variety of industry standard data providers, security master files from large financial institutions, and other third-party sources. These multiple market prices are used as inputs into a distribution-curve-based algorithm to determine the daily market value of each security.
As of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the fair value of the investments in available-for-sale Level 2 municipal variable rate demand notes was $60.7 million and $116.7 million, respectively. These securities have a structure that implies a standard expected market price. The frequent interest rate resets make it reasonable to expect the price to stay at par. These securities are priced at the expected market price.

We evaluate the carrying value of goodwill during the fourth quarter of each year and between annual evaluations if events occur or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the reporting unit below its carrying amount. When evaluating whether goodwill is impaired, we compare the fair value of the reporting unit to which the goodwill is assigned to the reporting unit’s carrying amount, including goodwill. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, then the amount of the impairment loss is measured.
The following table presents our intangible assets as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010. Intangible assets are included in other assets in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets and include intangibles acquired with our acquisition of Objectworld Communications Corporation on September 15, 2009 and Bluesocket, Inc. on August 4, 2011.

Stock Repurchase Program
Since 1997, our Board of Directors has approved multiple share repurchase programs that have authorized open market repurchase transactions of up to 30 million shares of our common stock. During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, we repurchased 1.1 million shares of our common stock at an average price of $31.98 per share. We have the authority to purchase an additional 0.9 million shares of our common stock under the plan approved by the Board of Directors on April 14, 2008.
On October 11, 2011, we announced that our Board of Directors had authorized the repurchase of an additional 5.0 million shares of our common stock to commence upon completion of the repurchase plan announced on April 14, 2008. Upon completion of the current plan, under which we have the remaining authority to purchase 0.9 million shares, the new plan to repurchase 5.0 million shares will be implemented through open market or private purchases from time to time as conditions warrant.
Stock Option Exercises
We issued 1.8 million shares of treasury stock during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 to accommodate employee stock option exercises. The stock options had exercise prices ranging from $10.50 to $36.64. We received proceeds totaling $33.6 million from the exercise of these stock options during the nine months ended September 30, 2011.

Segment Information
SEGMENT INFORMATION
10. SEGMENT INFORMATION
We operate in two reportable segments: (1) the Carrier Networks Division and (2) the Enterprise Networks Division. We evaluate the performance of our segments based on gross profit; therefore, selling, general and administrative expenses, research and development expenses, interest and dividend income, interest expense, net realized investment gain/loss, other expense, net and provision for income taxes are reported on an entity-wide basis only. There are no inter-segment revenues.
The following table presents information about the reported sales and gross profit of our reportable segments for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010. Asset information by reportable segment is not reported, since we do not produce such information internally.

Liability for Warranty Returns
LIABILITY FOR WARRANTY RETURNS
11. LIABILITY FOR WARRANTY RETURNS
Our products generally include warranties of one to ten years for product defects. We accrue for warranty returns at the time revenue is recognized based on our estimate of the cost to repair or replace the defective products. We engage in extensive product quality programs and processes, including actively monitoring and evaluating the quality of our component suppliers. Our products continue to become more complex in both size and functionality as many of our product offerings migrate from line card applications to systems products. The increasing complexity of our products will cause warranty incidences, when they arise, to be more costly. Our estimates regarding future warranty obligations may change due to product failure rates, material usage, and other rework costs incurred in correcting a product failure. In addition, from time to time, specific warranty accruals may be recorded if unforeseen problems arise. Should our actual experience relative to these factors be worse than our estimates, we will be required to record additional warranty expense. Alternatively, if we provide for more reserves than we require, we will reverse a portion of such provisions in future periods. The liability for warranty obligations totaled $3.9 million at September 30, 2011 and $3.3 million at December 31, 2010. These liabilities are included in accrued expenses in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.
A summary of warranty expense and write-off activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 is as follows:

12. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
We employ the law firm of our director emeritus for legal services. All bills for services rendered by this firm are reviewed and approved by our Chief Financial Officer. We believe that the fees for such services are comparable to those charged by other firms for services rendered to us. For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, we incurred fees of $10 thousand per month for these legal services.
Commitments and Contingencies
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
13. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
In the ordinary course of business, we may be subject to various legal proceedings and claims, including employment disputes, patent claims, disputes over contract agreements and other commercial disputes. In some cases, claimants seek damages or other relief, such as royalty payments related to patents, which, if granted, could require significant expenditures. Although the outcome of any claim or litigation can never be certain, it is our opinion that the outcome of all contingencies of which we are currently aware will not materially affect our business, operations, financial condition or cash flows.
We have committed to invest up to an aggregate of $7.9 million in two private equity funds, and we have contributed $8.4 million as of September 30, 2011, of which $7.7 million has been applied to these commitments. See Note 5 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
Subsequent Events
SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
14. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On October 11, 2011, we announced that our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.09 per common share to be paid to stockholders of record at the close of business on October 27, 2011. The payment date will be November 10, 2011. The quarterly dividend payment will be approximately $5.7 million. In July 2003, our Board of Directors elected to begin declaring quarterly dividends on our common stock considering the tax treatment of dividends and adequate levels of Company liquidity.
On October 11, 2011, we announced that our Board of Directors had authorized the repurchase of an additional 5.0 million shares of our common stock to commence upon completion of the repurchase plan announced on April 14, 2008. Upon completion of the current plan, under which we have the remaining authority to purchase 0.9 million shares, the new plan to repurchase 5.0 million shares will be implemented through open market or private purchases from time to time as conditions warrant.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of ADTRAN®, Inc. and its subsidiaries (ADTRAN) have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations for reporting on Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, certain information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements are not included herein. The December 31, 2010 Consolidated Balance Sheet is derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of these interim statements have been included and are of a normal and recurring nature. The results of operations for an interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. The interim statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in ADTRAN’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, filed on February 25, 2011 with the SEC.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reporting period. Our more significant estimates include the allowance for doubtful accounts, obsolete and excess inventory reserves, warranty reserves, customer rebates, allowance for sales returns, estimated income tax contingencies, the fair value of stock-based compensation, and the evaluation of other-than-temporary declines in the value of investments. Actual amounts could differ significantly from these estimates.
In September 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-08, Testing Goodwill for Impairment (ASU 2011-08). Existing accounting guidance requires that an entity perform a test for goodwill impairment, on at least an annual basis, by first comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then the second step of the test is to be performed to measure the amount of impairment loss, if any. ASU 2011-08 will allow an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the two-step quantitative goodwill impairment test. An entity will no longer be required to calculate the fair value of a reporting unit unless the entity determines, based on a qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that its fair value is less than its carrying amount. This update is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011, with early adoption permitted. We plan to adopt this amendment during the fourth quarter. We do not expect the adoption of this amendment will have a material impact on our consolidated results of operations or financial condition.
In June 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05, Presentation of Comprehensive Income (ASU 2011-05). ASU 2011-05 requires companies to present the components of net income and other comprehensive income either as one continuous statement or as two consecutive statements. ASU 2011-05 eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity. While ASU 2011-05 changes the presentation of comprehensive income, it does not change the components that are recognized in net income or comprehensive income under current accounting guidance. This update is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, ending after December 15, 2011, with early adoption permitted. We plan to adopt this amendment during the first quarter of 2012. Since ASU 2011-05 affects presentation only, it will have no effect on our consolidated results of operations or financial condition.
In May 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-04, Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs (ASU 2011-04). ASU 2011-04 is intended to improve the comparability of fair value measurements presented and disclosed in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and IFRS. The amendments are of two types: (i) those that clarify the Board’s intent about the application of existing fair value measurement and disclosure requirements and (ii) those that change a particular principle or requirement for measuring fair value or for disclosing information about fair value measurements. This update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. We do not expect the adoption of this amendment will have a material impact on our consolidated results of operations or financial condition.
In October 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2009-13, Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements (ASU 2009-13). ASU 2009-13 provides amendments to the criteria in Subtopic 605-25 of the ASC for separating consideration in multiple-deliverable arrangements. As a result of those amendments, multiple-deliverable arrangements are separated in more circumstances than under previously existing U.S. GAAP. ASU 2009-13 established a selling price hierarchy for determining the selling price of a deliverable and replaced the term fair value in the revenue allocation guidance with selling price to clarify that the allocation of revenue is based on entity-specific assumptions rather than assumptions of a marketplace participant. ASU 2009 -13 also eliminated the residual method of allocation and required that arrangement consideration be allocated at the inception of the arrangement to all deliverables using the relative selling price method and required that a vendor determine its best estimate of selling price in a manner that is consistent with that used to determine the price to sell the deliverable on a standalone basis.
We generally sell our products and services separately, but in some circumstances products and services may be sold in bundles that contain multiple deliverables. A sale that includes multiple deliverables is evaluated to determine the units of accounting, and the revenue from the arrangement is allocated to each item requiring separate revenue recognition based on the relative selling price and corresponding terms of the contract. We strive to use vendor-specific objective evidence of selling price. When this evidence is not available, we are generally not able to determine third-party evidence of selling price because of the extent of customization among competing products or services from other companies. In these cases, estimated selling price is determined based on the particular circumstances of the arrangement and is used to allocate revenues to each unit of accounting. Revenue is recognized incrementally as the necessary criteria for each item is met.
We adopted this amendment during the first quarter of 2011. The adoption of this amendment had no effect on our consolidated results of operations and financial condition for the three or nine months ended September 30, 2011.
In October 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2009-14, Certain Revenue Arrangements that Include Software Arrangements. ASU 2009-14 changed the accounting model for revenue arrangements that include both tangible products and software elements. Tangible products containing software components and non-software components that function together to deliver the tangible product’s essential functionality are no longer within the scope of the software revenue guidance in Subtopic 985-605 of the ASC. In addition, ASU 2009-14 requires that hardware components of a tangible product containing software components always be excluded from the software revenue guidance. In that regard, ASU 2009-14 provides additional guidance on how to determine which software, if any, relating to the tangible product also would be excluded from the scope of the software revenue guidance. ASU 2009-14 also provides guidance on how a vendor should allocate arrangement consideration to deliverables in an arrangement that includes both tangible products and software. ASU 2009-14 also provides further guidance on how to allocate arrangement consideration when an arrangement includes deliverables both included and excluded from the scope of the software revenue guidance. We adopted this amendment during the first quarter of 2011. The adoption of this amendment had no effect on our consolidated results of operations and financial condition for the three or nine months ended September 30, 2011.
