Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On July 22, 2009, NETGEAR, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing its financial results for its second fiscal quarter ended June 28, 2009, the text of which is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1.

The information furnished pursuant to this Item 2.02 and the exhibit to this Current Report are being furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section. The information furnished pursuant to this Item 2.02 and the exhibit to this Current Report shall not be incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.

 

Item 4.02 Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements or a Related Audit Report or Completed Interim Review.

On July 22, 2009, the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors, after consultation with and upon recommendation from management of the Company, concluded that disclosure should be made and action should be taken to prevent future reliance on the Company’s previously issued unaudited financial statements for the quarter ended March 29, 2009 included in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 29, 2009, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 7, 2009. The Company will restate its financial statements for the quarterly period ended March 29, 2009 due to an error related to the application of FASB Interpretation No. 18, Accounting for Income Taxes in Interim Periods (FIN 18).

The restatement relates solely to the correction of the recorded tax expense for the first quarter ended March 29, 2009. In the Company’s previously filed financial statements for the first quarter ended March 29, 2009, the Company incorrectly included a particular foreign entity in calculating the Company’s estimated annualized tax provision. This foreign entity should not have been included in the calculation because the anticipated losses in that entity will not give rise to tax benefits. Based on current projections, the Company does not expect that the Company’s overall annual estimated tax provision will be affected for the entire year, just allocated differently among the four quarters. As a result of this error, instead of reporting a tax benefit of $460,000 the Company should have recorded income tax expense of $3.4 million for the quarter ended March 29, 2009. Consequently, this would result in a net loss computed in accordance with GAAP of $3.8 million, or $0.11 per share, for the quarter ended March 29, 2009, as compared to net income of $42,000, or $0.00 per share, as previously reported for such quarter. Certain other adjustments related to income taxes would also be effected in the Company’s balance sheet, as summarized below.


The following is a summary of the effects of the adjustments on the Company’s Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet, Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations and Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows as of and for the quarterly period ending March 29, 2009:
