PART I

Item 1 Business Overview

Trimble Navigation Limited, a California corporation (“Trimble” or “the Company” or “we” or “our” or “us”), provides advanced positioning product solutions, most typically to commercial and government users. The principle applications served include surveying, agriculture, machine guidance, asset and fleet management, and telecommunications infrastructure. Our products typically provide benefits that can include lower operational costs, and higher productivity. Examples of products include systems that guide agricultural and construction equipment, surveying instruments, systems that track fleets of vehicles, and data collection systems that enable the management of large amounts of geo-referenced information. In addition, we also manufacture components for in vehicle navigation and telematics systems, and timing modules used in the synchronization of wireless networks.

Trimble products often combine knowledge of location or position together with a wireless link to provide a solution to a specific application. Position is provided through a number of alternative technologies including the Global Positioning System (GPS) and systems that use laser or optical technologies to establish position. Wireless communication techniques include both public networks, such as cellular, and private networks, such as business band radio. Our products are augmented by our software algorithms; this includes embedded firmware that enables the positioning solution and applications software that allows the customer to make use of the positioning information.

We design and market our own products. Our manufacturing strategy includes a combination of in house assembly as well as the use of third party subcontractors. Our global operations include major development, manufacturing or logistics operations in the United States, Sweden, Germany, New Zealand, France, Canada, and the Netherlands. Products are sold through dealers, representatives, joint ventures, and other channels throughout the world. These channels are supported by our sales offices located in more than 15 countries.

We began operations in 1978 and incorporated in California in 1981. Our common stock has been publicly traded on NASDAQ since 1990 under the symbol TRMB.

Technology Overview

A significant portion of our revenue is derived from applying Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) to terrestrial applications. GNSS systems include a system of 24 orbiting US based satellites and associated ground control that is funded and maintained by the U. S. Government and is available worldwide free of charge, a Russian satellite based system, and the future European Galileo system. GNSS positioning is based on a technique that precisely measures distances from four or more satellites. The satellites continuously transmit precisely timed radio signals using extremely accurate atomic clocks. A GNSS receiver measures distances from the satellites in view by determining the travel time of a signal from the satellite to the receiver, and then uses those distances to compute its position. Under normal circumstances, a stand-alone GNSS receiver is able to calculate its position at any point on earth, in the earth's atmosphere, or in lower earth orbit, to approximately 10 meters, 24 hours a day. Much better accuracies are possible through a technique called “differential GNSS.” In addition to providing position, GNSS provides extremely accurate time measurement.

GNSS accuracy is dependent upon the locations of the receiver and the number of GNSS satellites that are above the horizon at any given time. Reception of GNSS signals requires line-of-sight visibility between the satellites and the receiver, which can be blocked by buildings, hills, and dense foliage. The receiver must have a line of sight to at least four satellites to determine its latitude, longitude, attitude (angular orientation), and time. The accuracy of GNSS may also be limited by distortion of GNSS signals from ionospheric and other atmospheric conditions.

Our GNSS products are based on proprietary receiver technology. Over time, the advances in positioning, wireless communication, and information technologies have enabled us to add more capability to our products and thereby deliver more value to our users. For example, the developments in wireless technology and deployments of next generation wireless networks have enabled less expensive wireless communications. These developments allow for the efficient transfer of position data to locations away from the positioning field device, allowing the data to be accessed by more users and thereby increasing productivity. This has allowed us to include a wireless link in many of our products and connect remote field operations to a central location.

Page 5

Our laser and optical products either measure distances and angles to provide a position in three dimensional space or they provide highly accurate laser references from which position can be established. The key element of these products is typically a laser, which is generally a commercially available laser diode and a complex mechanical assembly. These elements are augmented by software algorithms.

Business Strategy

Our business strategy is developed around an analysis of several key elements:

·	Attractive markets - We focus on markets that offer potential for revenue growth, profitability, and market leadership.

Innovative solutions that provide significant benefits to our customers - We seek to apply our technology to applications in which position data is important and where we can create unique value. We look for opportunities in which the rate of technological change is high and which have a requirement for the integration of multiple technologies into a solution.

Distribution channels to best access our markets - We select distribution channels that best serve the needs of individual markets. These channels can include independent dealers, direct sales, joint ventures, OEM sales, and distribution alliances with key partners. We view international expansion as an important element of our strategy and seek to develop international channels.

Business Segments and Markets

We are organized into five reporting segments encompassing our various applications and product lines: Engineering and Construction, Field Solutions, Component Technologies, Mobile Solutions, and Portfolio Technologies. Our segments are distinguished by the markets they serve. Each segment consists of businesses which are responsible for product development, marketing, sales, strategy, and financial performance.

Engineering and Construction

Products in the Engineering and Construction segment improve productivity and accuracy throughout the entire construction process including the initial survey, planning, design, site preparation, and building phases. Our products are intended to both improve the productivity of each phase, as well as facilitate the entire process by improving information flow from one step to the next.

The product solutions typically include multiple technologies. The elements of these solutions may incorporate GPS, optical, laser, radio or cellular communications.

An example of the customer benefits provided by our product is our GPS and robotic optical surveying instruments which enable the surveyor to perform operations in the field faster, more reliably than conventional surveying instruments and with a smaller crew. Similarly, our construction machine guidance products allow the operator to achieve the desired landform by eliminating stakeout and reducing rework. These steps in the construction process can be readily linked together with data collection modules to minimize the time and effort required to maintain data accuracy throughout the entire construction process.

We sell and distribute our products in this segment through a global network of independent dealers that are supported by Trimble personnel. This channel is supplemented by relationships that create additional channel breadth including our joint ventures with Caterpillar, Nikon, and private branding arrangements with other companies.

We also design and market handheld data collectors and data collection software for field use by surveyors, contractors, and other professionals. These products are sold directly, through dealers, and other survey manufacturers.

Competitors in this segment are typically companies that provide optical, laser, or GPS positioning products. Our principal competitors are Topcon Corporation and Leica Geosystems. Price points in this segment range from less than $1,000 for certain laser systems to approximately $125,000 for a high-precision, three-dimensional, machine control system.

Our GIS product line is centered on handheld data collectors that gather information in the field to be incorporated into GIS databases. Typically this information includes features, attributes, and positions of fixed infrastructure and natural resource assets. An example would be that of a utility company performing a survey of its transmission poles including the age and condition of each telephone pole. Our handheld unit enables this data to be collected and automatically stored while confirming the location of the asset. The data can then be downloaded into a GIS database. This stored data could later be used to navigate back to any individual asset or item for maintenance or data update. Our mobile GIS initiative goes one step further by allowing this information to be communicated from the field worker to the back-office GIS database through the combination of wireless technologies, as well as giving the field worker the ability to download information from the database. This capability provides significant advantages to users including improved productivity, accuracy and access to the information in the field.

Distribution for GIS products is primarily through a network of independent dealers and business partners, supported by Trimble personnel. Primary markets for our GIS products and solutions include both governmental and commercial users. Government users are most often municipal governments and natural resource agencies. Commercial users include utility companies. Competitors in this market are typically survey instrument companies utilizing GPS technology. Two examples are Leica Geosystems and Thales.

It is focusing on the design and manufacture of surveying instruments including mechanical total stations and related products. In Japan, this joint venture distributes Nikon’s survey products as well as our survey, agriculture, construction and GIS products. Outside of Japan, we are the exclusive distributor of Nikon survey and construction products.

The joint venture has enhanced our market position in survey instruments through geographic expansion and market penetration. The Nikon products broadens our survey and construction product portfolio and enables us to better access emerging markets such as Russia, China, and India. It also provides us with the ability to sell our GPS and robotic technology to existing Nikon customers.

Caterpillar Trimble Control Technologies, LLC

On April 1, 2002, we established and began operations of a joint venture with Caterpillar called Caterpillar Trimble Control Technologies, LLC, in which each company has a 50% ownership stake and equal voting rights. This joint venture develops and manufactures machine control products for the construction and mining markets for installation in the factory or as a dealer option.

Patents, Licenses and Intellectual Property

We hold approximately 600 US patents and approximately 100 non-US patents, the majority of which cover GPS technology and other applications such as optical and laser technology.

We prefer to own the intellectual property used in our products, either directly or though subsidiaries. From time to time we license technology from third parties.

There are approximately 200 trademarks registered to Trimble and its subsidiaries including "Trimble," the globe and triangle logo, "AgGPS," "GeoExplorer," and "Telvisant," among others that are registered in the United States and other countries. Additional trademarks are pending registration.

Sales and Marketing

We tailor the distribution channel to the needs of our products and regional markets through a number of forms of sales channel solutions around the world. We sell our products worldwide primarily through dealers, distributors, and authorized representatives, occasionally granting exclusive rights to market certain products within specific countries. This channel is supported and supplemented (where third party distribution is not available) by our regional sales offices throughout the world. We also utilize distribution alliances, OEM relationships and joint ventures with other companies as a means to serve selected markets.

During the 2005 fiscal year, United States represented 54%, Europe represented 25%, Asia Pacific represented 11% and other regions represented 10% of our total revenues. During the 2004 fiscal year, United States represented 50%, Europe represented 28%, Asia Pacific represented 13% and other regions represented 9% of our total revenues.

Warranty

The warranty periods for our products are generally between one and three years. Selected military programs may require extended warranty periods up to 5.5 years and certain Nikon products have a five-year warranty period. We support our GPS products through a circuit board replacement program from locations in the United Kingdom, Germany, Japan, and the United States. The repair and calibration of our non-GPS products are available from company-owned or authorized facilities. We reimburse dealers and distributors for all authorized warranty repairs they perform.

While we engage in extensive product quality programs and processes, including actively monitoring and evaluating the quality of component suppliers, our warranty obligation is affected by product failure rates, material usage, and service delivery costs incurred in correcting a product failure. Should actual product failure rates, material usage, or service delivery costs differ from the estimates, revisions to the estimated warranty accrual and related costs may be required.

Seasonality of Business

* Our individual segment revenues may be affected by seasonal buying patterns. Typically the second fiscal quarter has been the strongest quarter for the Company driven by the construction buying season. The second quarter has averaged 27% of total revenue in the last two fiscal years.

Backlog

In most of our markets, the time between order placement and shipment is short. Therefore, we believe that backlog is not a reliable indicator of present or future business conditions.

Manufacturing

Manufacturing of substantially all our GPS subsystems is subcontracted to Solectron Corporation. During fiscal 2005 we continued to utilize Solectron's Suzhou facilities in China for all of our Component Technologies products. During 2004 we expanded our use of Solectron in Mexico for our Field Solutions products and handhelds. We continue to utilize Solectron California for our high-end GPS products and new product introduction services. Solectron is responsible for substantially all material procurement, assembly, and testing. We continue to manage product design through pilot production for the subcontracted products, and we are directly involved in qualifying suppliers and key components used in all our products. Our current contract with Solectron continues in effect until either party gives the other ninety days written notice.

We manufacture laser and optics-based products at our plants in Dayton, Ohio; Danderyd, Sweden; Jena and Kaiserslautern, Germany; Paris, France; and Toronto, Canada. Some of these products or portions of these products are also subcontracted to third parties for assembly.

Our manufacturing sites in Dayton, Ohio; Danderyd, Sweden; Jena and Kaiserslautern, Germany are registered to ISO9001:2000, covering the design, production, distribution, and servicing of all our products. The Component Technologies segment is registered to QS9000 for its automotive products. QS9000 is the automotive version of ISO9000 covering specific requirements for the market.

Page 13

Research and Development

We believe that our competitive position is maintained through the development and introduction of new products that incorporate improved features, better performance, smaller size and weight, lower cost, or some combination of these factors. We invest substantially in the development of new products. We also make significant investment in the positioning, communication, and information technologies that underlie our products and will likely provide competitive advantages.

Our research and development expenditures, net of reimbursed amounts were $84.3 million for fiscal 2005, $77.6 million for fiscal 2004, and $67.6 million for fiscal 2003.

* We expect to continue investing in research and development with the goal of maintaining or improving our competitive position, as well as the goal of entering new markets.

Employees

As of December 30, 2005, we employed 2,462 employees, including 32% in sales and marketing, 28% in manufacturing, 26% in engineering, and 14% in general and administrative positions. Approximately 40% of employees are in locations outside the United States.

Our employees are not represented by unions except for those in Sweden and some in Germany. We also employ temporary and contract personnel that are not included in the above headcount numbers. We have not experienced work stoppages or similar labor actions.

Item 1A Risk Factors

RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

You should carefully consider the following risk factors, in addition to the other information contained in this Form 10-K and in any other documents to which we refer you in this Form 10-K, before purchasing our securities. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones we face.

Our Inability to Accurately Predict Orders and Shipments May Affect Our Revenue, Expenses and Earnings per Share.

We have not been able in the past to consistently predict when our customers will place orders and request shipments so that we cannot always accurately plan our manufacturing requirements. As a result, if orders and shipments differ from what we predict, we may incur additional expenses and build excess inventory, which may require additional reserves and allowances. Any significant change in our customers’ purchasing patterns could have a material adverse effect on our operating results and reported earnings per share for a particular quarter.

Our Operating Results in Each Quarter May Be Affected by Special Conditions, Such As Seasonality, Late Quarter Purchases, Weather, and Other Potential Issues.

Due in part to the buying patterns of our customers, a significant portion of our quarterly revenues occurs from orders received and immediately shipped to customers in the last few weeks and days of each quarter, although our operating expenses tend to remain fairly predictable. Engineering and construction purchases tend to occur in early spring, and governmental agencies tend to utilize funds available at the end of the government’s fiscal year for additional purchases at the end of our third fiscal quarter in September of each year. Concentrations of orders sometimes also occur at the end of our other two fiscal quarters. Additionally, a majority of our sales force earns commissions on a quarterly basis which may cause concentrations of orders at the end of any fiscal quarter. If for any reason expected sales are deferred, orders are not received, or shipments are delayed a few days at the end of a quarter, our operating results and reported earnings per share for that quarter could be significantly impacted.

We Are Dependent on a Specific Manufacturer and Assembler for Many of Our Products and on Specific Suppliers of Critical Parts for Our Products.

We are substantially dependent upon Solectron Corporation in California, China and Mexico as our preferred manufacturing partner for many of our GPS products previously manufactured out of our Sunnyvale facilities. Under the agreement with Solectron, we provide to Solectron a twelve-month product forecast and place purchase orders with Solectron at least thirty calendar days in advance of the scheduled delivery of products to our customers depending on production lead time. Although purchase orders placed with Solectron are cancelable, the terms of the agreement would require us to purchase from Solectron all inventory not returnable or usable by other Solectron customers. Accordingly, if we inaccurately forecast demand for our products, we may be unable to obtain adequate manufacturing capacity from Solectron to meet customers’ delivery requirements or we may accumulate excess inventories, if such inventories are not usable by other Solectron customers.

Our current contract with Solectron continues in effect until either party gives the other ninety days written notice.

In addition, we rely on specific suppliers for a number of our critical components. We have experienced shortages of components in the past. Our current reliance on specific or a limited group of suppliers involves several risks, including a potential inability to obtain an adequate supply of required components and reduced control over pricing. Any inability to obtain adequate deliveries or any other circumstance that would require us to seek alternative sources of supply or to manufacture such components internally could significantly delay our ability to ship our products, which could damage relationships with current and prospective customers and could harm our reputation and brand, and could have a material adverse effect on our business.

Our Annual and Quarterly Performance May Fluctuate.

Our operating results have fluctuated and can be expected to continue to fluctuate in the future on a quarterly and annual basis as a result of a number of factors, many of which are beyond our control. Results in any period could be affected by:

Page 17

·	changes in market demand,
·	competitive market conditions,
·	market acceptance of existing or new products,
·	fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates,
·	the cost and availability of components,
·	our ability to manufacture and ship products,
·	the mix of our customer base and sales channels,
·	the mix of products sold,
·	our ability to expand our sales and marketing organization effectively,
·	our ability to attract and retain key technical and managerial employees,
·	the timing of shipments of products under contracts and
·	general global economic conditions.

In addition, demand for our products in any quarter or year may vary due to the seasonal buying patterns of our customers in the agricultural and engineering and construction industries. Due to the foregoing factors, our operating results in one or more future periods are expected to be subject to significant fluctuations. The price of our common stock could decline substantially in the event such fluctuations result in our financial performance being below the expectations of public market analysts and investors, which are based primarily on historical models that are not necessarily accurate representations of the future.

Our Gross Margin Is Subject to Fluctuation.

Our gross margin is affected by a number of factors, including product mix, product pricing, cost of components, foreign currency exchange rates and manufacturing costs. For example, sales of Nikon-branded products generally have lower gross margins as compared to our GPS survey products. Absent other factors, a shift in sales towards Nikon-branded products would lead to a reduction in our overall gross margins. A decline in gross margin could potentially negatively impact our earnings per share.

Failure to maintain effective internal controls in compliance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act could have an adverse effect on our business and stock price.

Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires us to include an internal control report of management in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. For fiscal 2004 and 2005 we satisfied the requirements of Section 404, which requires annual management assessments of the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting and a report by our independent auditors addressing these assessments.

A system of controls, however well designed and operated, cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the system will be met. In addition, the design of a control system is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events. Because of the inherent limitations of control systems, there is only reasonable assurance that our controls will succeed in achieving their stated goals under all potential future conditions.

We Are Dependent on New Products.

Our future revenue stream depends to a large degree on our ability to bring new products to market on a timely basis. We must continue to make significant investments in research and development in order to continue to develop new products, enhance existing products and achieve market acceptance of such products. We may incur problems in the future in innovating and introducing new products. Our development stage products may not be successfully completed or, if developed, may not achieve significant customer acceptance. If we were unable to successfully define, develop and introduce competitive new products, and enhance existing products, our future results of operations would be adversely affected. Development and manufacturing schedules for technology products are difficult to predict, and we might not achieve timely initial customer shipments of new products. The timely availability of these products in volume and their acceptance by customers are important to our future success. A delay in new product introductions could have a significant impact on our results of operations.

Page 18

We Are Dependent on Proprietary Technology.

Our future success and competitive position is dependent upon our proprietary technology, and we rely on patent, trade secret, trademark and copyright law to protect our intellectual property. The patents owned or licensed by us may be invalidated, circumvented, and challenged. The rights granted under these patents may not provide competitive advantages to us. Any of our pending or future patent applications may not be issued within the scope of the claims sought by us, if at all.

Others may develop technologies that are similar or superior to our technology, duplicate our technology or design around the patents owned by us. In addition, effective copyright, patent and trade secret protection may be unavailable, limited or not applied for in certain countries. The steps taken by us to protect our technology might not prevent the misappropriation of such technology.

The value of our products relies substantially on our technical innovation in fields in which there are many current patent filings. We recognize that as new patents are issued or are brought to our attention by the holders of such patents, it may be necessary for us to withdraw products from the market, take a license from such patent holders, or redesign our products. We do not believe any of our products currently infringe patents or other proprietary rights of third parties, but we cannot be certain they do not do so. In addition, the legal costs and engineering time required to safeguard intellectual property or to defend against litigation could become a significant expense of operations. Such events could have a material adverse effect on our revenues or profitability.

Our products may contain errors or defects, which could result in damage to our reputation, lost revenues, diverted development resources and increased service costs, warranty claims and litigation.

Our devices are complex and must meet stringent requirements. We warrant that our products will be free of defect for various periods of time, depending on the product. In addition, certain of our contracts include epidemic failure clauses. If invoked, these clauses may entitle the customer to return or obtain credits for products and inventory, or to cancel outstanding purchase orders even if the products themselves are not defective.

We must develop our products quickly to keep pace with the rapidly changing market, and we have a history of frequently introducing new products. Products and services as sophisticated as ours could contain undetected errors or defects, especially when first introduced or when new models or versions are released. In general, our products may not be free from errors or defects after commercial shipments have begun, which could result in damage to our reputation, lost revenues, diverted development resources, increased customer service and support costs and warranty claims and litigation which could harm our business, results of operations and financial condition.

We Are Dependent on the Availability of Allocated Bands within the Radio Frequency Spectrum.

Our GPS technology is dependent on the use of the Standard Positioning Service (“SPS”) provided by the US Government’s GPS. The GPS SPS operates in radio frequency bands that are globally allocated for radio navigation satellite services. International allocations of radio frequency are made by the International Telecommunications Union (“ITU”), a specialized technical agency of the United Nations. These allocations are further governed by radio regulations that have treaty status and which may be subject to modification every two to three years by the World Radio Communication Conference.

Any ITU reallocation of radio frequency bands, including frequency band segmentation or sharing of spectrum, may materially and adversely affect the utility and reliability of our products. Many of our products use other radio frequency bands, together with the GPS signal, to provide enhanced GPS capabilities, such as real-time kinematic precision. The continuing availability of these non-GPS radio frequencies is essential to provide enhanced GPS products to our precision survey and construction machine controls markets. Any regulatory changes in spectrum allocation or in allowable operating conditions may cause a material adverse effect on our operating results.

In addition, unwanted emissions from mobile satellite services and other equipment operating in adjacent frequency bands or in-band from licensed and unlicensed devices may materially and adversely affect the utility and reliability of our products. The FCC continually receives proposals for novel technologies and services, such as ultra-wideband technologies, which may seek to operate in, or across, the radio frequency bands currently used by the GPS SPS and other public safety services. Adverse decisions by the FCC that result in harmful interference to the delivery of the GPS SPS and other radio frequency spectrum also used in our products may result in a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.

Page 19

Many of Our Products Rely on the GPS Satellite System.

The GPS satellites and their ground support systems are complex electronic systems subject to electronic and mechanical failures and possible sabotage. The satellites currently in orbit were originally designed to have lives of 7.5 years and are subject to damage by the hostile space environment in which they operate. However, of the current deployment of 29 satellites in place, some have already been in operation for 12 years. To repair damaged or malfunctioning satellites is currently not economically feasible. If a significant number of satellites were to become inoperable, there could be a substantial delay before they are replaced with new satellites. A reduction in the number of operating satellites may impair the current utility of the GPS system and the growth of current and additional market opportunities.

In 2004, a Presidential policy affirmed a 1996 Presidential Decision Directive that marked the first time in the evolution of GPS that access for civilian use free of direct user fees. In addition, Presidential policy has been complemented by corresponding legislation, that was signed into law. However, there can be no assurance that the US Government will remain committed to the operation and maintenance of GPS satellites over a long period, or that the policies of the US Government for the use of GPS without charge will remain unchanged. Because of ever-increasing commercial applications of GPS, other US Government agencies may become involved in the administration or the regulation of the use of GPS signals. Any of the foregoing factors could affect the willingness of buyers of our products to select GPS-based systems instead of products based on competing technologies.

Many of our products also use signals from systems that augment GPS, such as the Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS) and National Differential GPS System (NDGPS). Many of these augmentation systems are operated by the federal government and rely on continued funding and maintenance of these systems. In addition, some of our products also use satellite signals from the Russian Glonass System. Any curtailment of the operating capability of these systems could result in decreased user capability thereby impacting our markets.

The European governments have begun development of an independent satellite navigation system, known as Galileo. We believe we will have access to the signal design to develop compatible receivers. However, if access to the signal structure is delayed it may have a materially adverse effect on our business and operating results.

We may be Materially Affected by New Regulatory Requirements.

We are subject to various federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations that govern our operations, including the handling and disposal of non-hazardous and hazardous wastes, and emissions and discharges into the environment. Failure to comply with such laws and regulations could result in costs for corrective action, penalties, or the imposition of other liabilities.

In particular, under certain of these laws and regulations, a current or previous owner or operator of property may be liable for the costs of remediating hazardous substances or petroleum products on or from its property, without regard to whether the owner or operator knew of, or caused, the contamination, as well as incur liability to third parties impacted by such contamination. In addition, we face increasing complexity in our product design and procurement operations as we adjust to new and upcoming requirements relating to the materials composition of many of our products. The European Union (“EU”) has adopted new directives to facilitate the recycling of electrical and electronic equipment sold in the EU. One of these is the Restriction on the Use of Certain Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Equipment (“RoHS”) directive. The RoHS directive restricts the use of lead, mercury and certain other substances in electrical and electronic products placed on the market in the European Union after September 30, 2006.

Similar laws and regulations have been or may be enacted in other regions, including in the United States, China and Japan. Other environmental regulations may require us to reengineer our products to utilize components which are more environmentally compatible and such reengineering and component substitution may result in additional costs to us. Although we do not anticipate any material adverse effects based on the nature of our operations and the effect of such laws, there is no assurance that such existing laws or future laws will not have a material adverse effect on our business.

Our Business is Subject to Disruptions and Uncertainties Caused by War or Terrorism.

Acts of war or acts of terrorism could have a material adverse impact on our business, operating results, and financial condition. The threat of terrorism and war and heightened security and military response to this threat, or

any future acts of terrorism, may cause further disruption to our economy and create further uncertainties. To the extent that such disruptions or uncertainties result in delays or cancellations of orders, or the manufacture or shipment of our products, our business, operating results, and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected.

We Are Exposed to Fluctuations in Currency Exchange Rates.

A significant portion of our business is conducted outside the US, and as such, we face exposure to movements in non-US currency exchange rates. These exposures may change over time as business practices evolve and could have a material adverse impact on our financial results and cash flows. Fluctuation in currency impacts our operating results.

Currently, we hedge only those currency exposures associated with certain assets and liabilities denominated in non-functional currencies. The hedging activities undertaken by us are intended to offset the impact of currency fluctuations on certain non-functional currency assets and liabilities. Our attempts to hedge against these risks may not be successful resulting in an adverse impact on our net income.

We Face Risks in Investing in and Integrating New Acquisitions.

We have recently acquired several companies and may in the future acquire other companies. Acquisitions of companies, divisions of companies, or products entail numerous risks, including:

·	potential inability to successfully integrate acquired operations and products or to realize cost savings or other anticipated benefits from integration;
·	diversion of management’s attention;
·	loss of key employees of acquired operations;
·	the difficulty of assimilating geographically dispersed operations and personnel of the acquired companies;
·	the potential disruption of our ongoing business;
·	unanticipated expenses related to such integration;
·	the correct assessment of the relative percentages of in-process research and development expense that can be immediately written off as compared to the amount which must be amortized over the appropriate life of the asset;
·	the impairment of relationships with employees and customers of either an acquired company or our own business;
·	the potential unknown liabilities associated with acquired business; and
·	inability to recover strategic investments in development stage entities.

As a result of such acquisitions, we have significant assets that include goodwill and other purchased intangibles. The testing of these intangibles under established accounting guidelines for impairment requires significant use of judgment and assumptions. Changes in business conditions could require adjustments to the valuation of these assets. In addition, losses incurred by a company in which we have an investment may have a direct impact on our financial statements or could result in our having to write-down the value of such investment. Any such problems in integration or adjustments to the value of the assets acquired could harm our growth strategy and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and compliance with debt covenants.

We May Not Be Able to Enter Into or Maintain Important Alliances.

We believe that in certain business opportunities our success will depend on our ability to form and maintain alliances with industry participants, such as Caterpillar, Nikon, and CNH Global. Our failure to form and maintain such alliances, or the pre-emption of such alliances by actions of other competitors or us, will adversely affect our ability to penetrate emerging markets. No assurances can be given that we will not experience problems from current or future alliances or that we will realize value from any such strategic alliances.

Page 21

We Face Competition in Our Markets.

Our markets are highly competitive and we expect that both direct and indirect competition will increase in the future. Our overall competitive position depends on a number of factors including the price, quality and performance of our products, the level of customer service, the development of new technology and our ability to participate in emerging markets. Within each of our markets, we encounter direct competition from other GPS, optical and laser suppliers and competition may intensify from various larger US and non-US competitors and new market entrants, some of which may be our current customers. The competition in the future may, in some cases, result in price reductions, reduced margins or loss of market share, any of which could materially and adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition. We believe that our ability to compete successfully in the future against existing and additional competitors will depend largely on our ability to execute our strategy to provide systems and products with significantly differentiated features compared to currently available products. We may not be able to implement this strategy successfully, and our products may not be competitive with other technologies or products that may be developed by our competitors, many of whom have significantly greater financial, technical, manufacturing, marketing, sales and other resources than we do.

We Must Carefully Manage Our Future Growth.

Growth in our sales or continued expansion in the scope of our operations could strain our current management, financial, manufacturing and other resources, and may require us to implement and improve a variety of operating, financial and other systems, procedures, and controls. We have recently implemented a new enterprise resource planning software system and we may experience in our financial and order management processing as a result of new procedures. Problems associated with any improvement or expansion of these systems, procedures or controls may adversely affect our operations and these systems, procedures or controls may not be designed, implemented or improved in a cost-effective and timely manner. Any failure to implement, improve and expand such systems, procedures, and controls in a timely and efficient manner could harm our growth strategy and adversely affect our financial condition and ability to achieve our business objectives.

We Are Dependent on Retaining and Attracting Highly Skilled Development and Managerial Personnel.

Our ability to maintain our competitive technological position will depend, in a large part, on our ability to attract, motivate, and retain highly qualified development and managerial personnel. Competition for qualified employees in our industry and locations is intense, and there can be no assurance that we will be able to attract, motivate, and retain enough qualified employees necessary for the future continued development of our business and products.

We Are Subject to the Impact of Governmental and Other Similar Certifications.

We market certain products that are subject to governmental and similar certifications before they can be sold. For example, CE certification for radiated emissions is required for most GPS receiver and data communications products sold in the European Union. An inability to obtain such certifications in a timely manner could have an adverse effect on our operating results. Also, some of our products that use integrated radio communication technology require an end user to obtain licensing from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) for frequency-band usage. These are secondary licenses that are subject to certain restrictions. An inability or delay in obtaining such certifications or changes to the rules by the FCC could adversely affect our ability to bring our products to market which could harm our customer relationships and have a material adverse effect on our business.

We Are Subject to the Adverse Impact of Radio Frequency Congestion.

We have certain products, such as GPS RTK systems, and surveying and mapping systems that use integrated radio communication technology requiring access to available radio frequencies allocated by the FCC (or the NTIA in the case of federal government users of this equipment) for which the end user is required to obtain a license in order to operate their equipment. In addition, access to these frequencies by state agencies is under management by state radio communications coordinators. Some bands are experiencing congestion that excludes their availability for access by state agencies in some states. To reduce congestion, the FCC announced that it will require migration of radio technology from wideband to narrowband operations in these bands. The rules require migration of users to narrowband channels by 2011. In the meantime congestion could cause FCC coordinators to restrict or refuse licenses. An inability to obtain access to these radio frequencies by end users could have an adverse effect on our operating results.

The Volatility of Our Stock Price Could Adversely Affect Your Investment in Our Common Stock.

The market price of our common stock has been, and may continue to be, highly volatile. During fiscal 2005, our stock price ranged from $44.55 to $26.64. We believe that a variety of factors could cause the price of our common stock to fluctuate, perhaps substantially, including:

·	announcements and rumors of developments related to our business or the industry in which we compete;
·	quarterly fluctuations in our actual or anticipated operating results and order levels;
·	general conditions in the worldwide economy, including fluctuations in interest rates;
·	announcements of technological innovations;
·	new products or product enhancements by us or our competitors;
·	developments in patents or other intellectual property rights and litigation;
·	developments in our relationships with our customers and suppliers; and
·	any significant acts of terrorism against the United States.

In addition, in recent years the stock market in general and the markets for shares of "high-tech" companies in particular, have experienced extreme price fluctuations which have often been unrelated to the operating performance of affected companies. Any such fluctuations in the future could adversely affect the market price of our common stock, and the market price of our common stock may decline.

Provisions in Our Charter Documents and Under California Law Could Prevent or Delay a Change of Control, which Could Reduce the Market Price of Our Common Stock.

Certain provisions of our articles of incorporation, as amended and restated, our bylaws, as amended and restated, and the California General Corporation Law may be deemed to have an anti-takeover effect and could discourage a third party from acquiring, or make it more difficult for a third party to acquire, control of us without approval of our board of directors. These provisions could also limit the price that certain investors might be willing to pay in the future for shares of our common stock. Certain provisions allow the board of directors to authorize the issuance of preferred stock with rights superior to those of the common stock.

We have adopted a Preferred Shares Rights Agreement, commonly known as a "poison pill." The provisions described above, our poison pill and provisions of the California General Corporation Law may discourage, delay or prevent a third party from acquiring us.

We have significant intangible assets on our Consolidated Balance Sheets that include goodwill and other purchased intangibles related to acquisitions. At the beginning of fiscal 2002, we adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141 (“SFAS 141”), Business Combinations, and No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (“SFAS 142”). Application of the non-amortization provisions of SFAS 142 significantly reduced amortization expense of purchased intangibles and goodwill to approximately $8.3 million for the fiscal year 2002 from $29.4 million in fiscal year 2001.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the related notes. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to these differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed below and those listed under "Risks Factors."

EXECUTIVE LEVEL OVERVIEW

Trimble’s foundation remains positioning technology. We have augmented this technology with wireless communication and application capabilities in order to enable us to participate in a wider number of markets and to play a more central role in those markets. Our efforts to market these technologies can generally be characterized as falling into the categories of either end user markets or component markets. The Engineering and Construction, Field Solutions, and Mobile Solutions segments can be broadly described as end user markets and the Component Technologies and Portfolio Technologies segments can be described as components markets. In the end user markets we provide a value added solution to the end user. Typically this requires a solution that includes a hardware platform and customer support. In the components businesses, we typically sell to another company that adds significant value and brings the solution to the end user.

The segments constituting the end user, solutions activities, make up over 80% of our revenue. The critical success factors in these businesses center around attaining a significant understanding of the end users’ needs, applying that knowledge to create highly innovative products, integrating those products into an effective system, and establishing a proficient global, third-party distribution.

The components businesses require different characteristics to be successful. The customer is typically an OEM, system integrator, or other third party that integrates our components into a system. To satisfy this customer group, our focus is on price, product functionality, and quality. With recent product introductions we have begun to add higher functionality into our products in order to provide greater value and potentially capture higher average selling prices for our offerings. Worldwide applications for the product range from vehicle tracking to remote asset management, including by way of example monitoring and tracking of construction materials, truck trailers and off-road equipment.

During 2005 we continued to execute our strategy with a series of actions that can be summarized in four categories.

Reinforcing our position in existing markets

Generally, we believe that our markets provide us with additional, substantial potential for substituting our technology for traditional methods. In 2005 we continued to develop new products and to strengthen our distribution channels to realize these opportunities. The acquisitions of Pacific Crest and Apache provided us with additional hardware competencies and applications knowledge. A number of new products like Trimble S6 and machine control products strengthened our competitive position and created new value for the user.

Extend our position in existing markets through new product categories

We are utilizing the strength of the Trimble brand in our markets to expand our revenues by bringing new products to existing users. A 2005 example was the introduction of Ag GPS Steer System.

Bring existing technology to new markets

* We continue to reinforce our position in existing markets, and positioned ourselves in newer markets that will serve as important sources of future growth. Our efforts in China, India, Russia, Korea and Eastern Europe all reflected improving financial results, with the promise of more in the future.

Entered completely new markets

* In fiscal 2005 we acquired Advanced Public Safety, Inc. (APS), a software development company that provides mobile and handheld software products used by law enforcement, fire-rescue and other public safety agencies. With this acquisition, we plan to leverage our rugged mobile computing devices and fleet management systems to provide complete mobile resource solutions for the public safety industry. The APS acquisition opens up a new vertical

Page 27

segment in which we can offer public safety agencies complete mobile computing and resource management solutions. In addition, we acquired MobileTech Solutions, Inc., a provider of field workforce automation solutions and that has a leading market position in the direct store delivery (DSD) market. We expect the MobileTech Solutions acquisition to extend our portfolio of fleet management and field workforce applications.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

Our accounting policies are more fully described in Note 2 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements. The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires us to make judgments, assumptions, and estimates that affect the amounts reported in the Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements. We consider the accounting polices described below to be our critical accounting polices. These critical accounting policies are impacted significantly by judgments, assumptions, and estimates used in the preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements, and actual results could differ materially from the amounts reported based on these policies.

Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenue in accordance with US GAAP. The accounting rules related to revenue recognition are complex and are impacted by interpretations of the rules and an understanding of industry practices, both of which are subject to change.

We recognize product revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collectibility is reasonably assured. In instances where final acceptance of the product is specified by the customer or is uncertain, revenue is deferred until all acceptance criteria have been met. Revenue is reduced by a sales return reserve as described under “Allowance for Doubtful Accounts and Sales Returns.”

Contracts and customer purchase orders are generally used to determine the existence of an arrangement. Shipping documents and customer acceptance, when applicable, are used to verify delivery. We assess whether the fee is fixed or determinable based on the payment terms associated with the transaction and whether the sales price is subject to refund or adjustment. We assess collectibility based primarily on the creditworthiness of the customer as determined by credit checks and analysis, as well as the customer’s payment history.

Our shipment terms for US orders, and international orders fulfilled from our European distribution center are typically FCA (Free Carrier) shipping point, except certain sales to US government agencies which are shipped FOB destination. FCA shipping point means that we fulfill the obligation to deliver when the goods are handed over, cleared for export, and into the charge of the carrier named by the buyer at the named place or point. If no precise point is indicated by the buyer, we may choose within the place or range stipulated where the carrier will take the goods into carrier’s charge.

Other international orders are shipped FOB destination, which means these international orders are not recognized as revenue until the product is delivered and title has transferred to the buyer or FCA shipping point. FOB destination means that we bear all costs and risks of loss or damage to the goods up to that point.

Revenue to distributors and resellers is recognized upon delivery, assuming all other criteria for revenue recognition have been met. Distributors and resellers do not have a right of return.

Revenue from purchased extended warranty and support agreements is deferred and recognized ratably over the term of the warranty/support period.

In accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue 00-21, “Accounting for Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables,” when a sale involves multiple elements, the entire fee from the arrangement is allocated to each respective element based on its relative fair value and recognized when revenue recognition criteria for each element are met.

Software revenue is recognized in accordance with Statement of Position (SOP) No. 97-2, “Software Revenue Recognition” and Statement of Position (SOP) No. 98-9, “Modification of SOP 97-2.” Our software arrangements generally consist of a perpetual license fee and post-contract customer support (PCS). We have established vendor-specific objective evidence (VSOE) of fair value for our PCS contracts based on the renewal rate. The remaining value of the software arrangement is allocated to the license fee using the residual method, and revenue is primarily recognized when the software has been delivered and there are no remaining obligations. Revenue from PCS is recognized ratably over the term of the PCS agreement.

Page 28

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts and Sales Returns

Our accounts receivable balance, net of allowance for doubtful accounts, was $145.1 million as of December 30, 2005, compared with $123.9 million as of December 31, 2004. The allowance for doubtful accounts as of December 30, 2005 was $5.2 million, compared with $9.0 million as of December 31, 2004. We make ongoing assumptions relating to the collectibility of our accounts receivable in our calculation of the allowance for doubtful accounts. We evaluate the collectibility of our trade accounts receivable based on a number of factors such as age of the accounts receivable balances, credit quality, historical experience, and current economic conditions that may affect a customer’s ability to pay. In circumstances where we are aware of a specific customer’s inability to meet its financial obligations to us, a specific allowance for bad debts is estimated and recorded which reduces the recognized receivable to the estimated amount we believe will ultimately be collected. In addition to specific customer identification of potential bad debts, bad debt charges are recorded based on our recent past loss history and an overall assessment of past due trade accounts receivable amounts outstanding.

A reserve for sales returns is established based on historical trends in product return rates experienced in the ordinary course of business. The reserve for sales returns as of December 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004 included $1.5 million and $2.2 million, respectively, for estimated future returns that were recorded as a reduction of our accounts receivable and revenue. If the actual future returns were to deviate from the historical data on which the reserve had been established, our revenue could be adversely affected.

Inventory Valuation

Our inventories, net balance was $107.9 million as of December 30, 2005, compared with $87.7 million as of December 31, 2004. Our inventory allowances as of December 30, 2005 were $23.2 million, compared with $26.2 million as of December 31, 2004. Our inventory is recorded at the lower of standard cost or market (net realizable value). We generally use a standard cost accounting system to value inventory and these standards are reviewed a minimum of once a year and multiple times a year in our most active manufacturing plants. We perform an in depth excess and obsolete analysis of our inventory based upon assumptions about future demand and current market conditions. We adjust the inventory value based on estimated excess and obsolete inventories determined primarily by future demand forecasts. If actual future demand or market conditions are less favorable than those projected by us, additional inventory write-downs may be required.

Income Taxes

Judgments and estimates occur in the calculation of income tax and deferred tax assets and liabilities.

Income taxes are accounted for under the liability method whereby deferred tax assets or liability account balances are calculated at the balance sheet date using current tax laws and rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce the carrying amounts of deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that such assets will not be realized.

The valuation allowance decreased by $7.1 million in fiscal 2005, $21.8 million in fiscal 2004 and $13.1 million in fiscal 2003. Approximately, $1.2 million, $8.0 million and $14.1 million of the valuation allowance at December 30, 2005, December 31, 2004 and January 2, 2004 respectively relate to the tax benefit of stock option deduction, which will be credited to equity if and when realized. In evaluating the need for a valuation allowance, we consider future taxable income, resolution of tax uncertainties and prudent and feasible tax planning strategies.

Goodwill Impairment

Goodwill as of December 30, 2005 was $286.1 million, compared with $259.5 million as of December 31, 2004. We performed goodwill impairment tests at the end of the fiscal third quarter of 2005 and 2004 for each reporting unit and found there was no impairment of our goodwill. We will continue to evaluate our goodwill for impairment on an annual basis at the end of each fiscal third quarter and whenever events and changes in circumstances suggest that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.

The process of evaluating the potential impairment of goodwill is subjective and requires significant assumptions. For goodwill, the annual impairment evaluation includes a comparison of the carrying value of the reporting unit

Page 29

(including goodwill) to that reporting unit’s fair value. If the reporting unit’s estimated fair value exceeds the reporting unit’s carrying value, no impairment of goodwill exists. If the fair value of the reporting unit does not exceed the unit’s carrying value, then an additional analysis is performed to allocate the fair value of the reporting unit to all of the assets and liabilities of that unit as if that unit had been acquired in a business combination and the fair value of the unit was the purchase price. If the excess of the fair value of the reporting unit over the fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities is less than the carrying value of the unit’s goodwill, an impairment charge is recorded for the difference.

We cannot predict the occurrence of certain future events that might adversely affect the reported value of goodwill. Such events include, but are not limited to, strategic decisions made in response to economic and competitive conditions, the impact of the economic environment on our customer base, or a material negative change in our relationships with significant customers.

Accounting for Long-Lived Assets Including Intangibles Subject to Amortization

Depreciation and amortization of our long-lived assets is provided using straight-line methods over their estimated useful lives. Changes in circumstances such as the passage of new laws or changes in regulations, technological advances, changes to our business model, or changes in the capital strategy could result in the actual useful lives differing from initial estimates. In those cases where we determine that the useful life of a long-lived asset should be revised, we will depreciate the net book value in excess of the estimated residual value over its revised remaining useful life. Factors such as changes in the planned use of equipment, customer attrition, contractual amendments, or mandated regulatory requirements could result in shortened useful lives.

Long-lived assets and asset groups are evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. The estimated future cash flows are based upon, among other things, assumptions about expected future operating performance and may differ from actual cash flows. Long-lived assets evaluated for impairment are grouped with other assets to the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other groups of assets and liabilities. If the sum of the projected undiscounted cash flows (excluding interest) is less than the carrying value of the assets, the assets will be written down to the estimated fair value in the period in which the determination is made.

Warranty Costs

The liability for product warranties was $7.5 million as of December 30, 2005, compared with $6.4 million as of December 31, 2004. (See Note 2 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding our warranty liability.) The warranty periods for our products are generally between one and three years. Selected military programs may require extended warranty periods up to 5.5 years and certain Nikon products have a five year warranty period. We accrue for warranty costs as part of our cost of sales based on associated material costs, technical support labor costs, and costs incurred by third parties performing warranty work on our behalf. Our expected future cost is primarily estimated based upon historical trends in the volume of product returns within the warranty period and the cost to repair or replace the equipment.

While we engage in extensive product quality programs and processes, including actively monitoring and evaluating the quality of our component suppliers, our warranty obligation is affected by product failure rates, material usage, and service delivery costs incurred in correcting a product failure. Should actual product failure rates, material usage, or service delivery costs differ from our estimates, revisions to the estimated warranty accrual and related costs may be required.

Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others

In the normal course of business to facilitate sales of its products, we indemnify other parties, including customers, lessors, and parties to other transactions with us, with respect to certain matters. We have agreed to hold the other party harmless against losses arising from a breach of representations or covenants, or out of intellectual property infringement or other claims made against certain parties. These agreements may limit the time within which an indemnification claim can be made and the amount of the claim. In addition, we have entered into indemnification agreements with our officers and directors, and our bylaws contain similar indemnification obligations to our agents.

It is not possible to determine the maximum potential amount under these indemnification agreements due to the limited history of prior indemnification claims and the unique facts and circumstances involved in each particular agreement. Historically, payments made by the Company under these agreements were not material and no liabilities have been recorded for these obligations on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004.

Stock Compensation

We apply Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" (APB 25) and related interpretations in accounting for our stock option plans and stock purchase plan. Accordingly, we do not recognize compensation cost for stock options granted at a price equal to fair market value.

In accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (“SFAS 123”), "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" and “Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 148” (“SFAS 148”), “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure,” we estimated the fair value of the options and purchases under the employee stock purchase plan, and determined the expense, net of related tax effects, that would have been included in the determination of net income if the fair value based method had been applied to all awards. Stock-based compensation net of tax was $8.7 million, $8.6 million and $9.8 million for fiscal 2005, fiscal 2004 and fiscal 2003.

For options granted prior to October 1, 2005, the fair value for these options was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. For stock options granted on or after October 1, 2005, the fair value of each award is estimated on the date of grant using a binomial valuation model. Similar to the Black-Scholes model, the binomial model takes into account variables such as volatility, dividend yield rate, and risk free interest rate. In addition, the binomial model incorporates actual option-pricing behavior and changes in volatility over the option’s contractual term. For these reasons, we believe that the binomial model provides a fair value that is more representative of actual experience and future expected experience than the value calculated using the Black-Scholes model. Below is a comparison of assumptions used in under each valuation model in fiscal 2005:

	Average Assumptions for Q1-Q3 FY05 using Black-Scholes	Assumptions for Q4 FY05 using Binomial
Expected dividend yield	-	-
Expected stock price volatility	52%	42%
Risk free interest rate	4.1%	4.5%
Expected life of options after vesting	1.7 years	1.6 years

Note 15 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements describes the plans we operate, and Note 2 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements contains a summary of the pro forma effects to reported net income and earnings per share for fiscal 2005, 2004, and 2003 as if we had elected to recognize compensation cost based on the fair value of the options granted at grant date.

Investment in Joint Ventures

We have adopted the equity method of accounting for our investments in the Caterpillar and Nikon joint ventures. This requires that we record our share of the joint ventures’ profits or losses in a given fiscal period. See Note 5 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for joint venture accounting.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Overview

The following table is a summary of revenue, gross margin and operating income for the periods indicated and should be read in conjunction with the narrative descriptions below.

	December 30,	December 31,	January 2,
Fiscal Years Ended	2005	2004	2004
(Dollars in thousands)

Total consolidated revenue	$774,913	$668,808	$540,903
Gross Margin	$389,805	$324,810	$268,030
Gross Margin %	50.3%	48.6%	49.6%
Total consolidated operating income	$124,944	$85,625	$53,935
Operating Income %	16.1%	12.8%	10.0%

Basis of Presentation

We have a 52-53 week fiscal year, ending on the Friday nearest to December 31, which for fiscal 2005 was December 30, 2005. Fiscal 2005 was a 53-week year and fiscal 2004 and fiscal 2003 were 52-week years. As a result of the extra week in fiscal 2005, year-over-year results are not exactly comparable. Thus, due to the inherent nature of adopting a 52-53 week fiscal year, the Company, analysts, shareholders, investors, and others will have to make appropriate adjustments to any analysis performed when comparing our activities and results in fiscal years that contain 53 weeks to those that contain the standard 52 weeks.

Page 32

Revenue

In fiscal 2005, total revenue increased by $106.1 million or 15.9% to $774.9 million from $668.8 million in fiscal 2004. The increase in fiscal 2005 was primarily due to stronger performances across all our operating segments with the exception of Component Technologies. The Engineering and Construction, Field Solutions and Mobile Solutions segments increased 19%, 21% and 34%, respectively, compared to fiscal 2004. Revenue growth within these segments was driven by new product introductions and increased penetration of existing markets. Both the Engineering and Construction and Mobile Solutions operating segments also benefited from the impact of the Pacific Crest, Apache and MobileTech acquisitions.

In fiscal 2004, total revenue increased by $127.9 million or 23.6% to $668.8 million from $540.9 million in fiscal 2003. This increase was primarily due to stronger performances in most of our operating segments driven by new product offerings and increased penetration of the markets we serve (primarily Engineering and Construction and Field Solutions), expanded distribution and selective acquisitions (primarily Mobile Solutions and Portfolio Technologies), as well as the positive impact of the weaker US dollar on revenues generated in foreign currencies, primarily the Euro.

* During the 2005 fiscal year, sales to customers in the United States represented 54%, Europe represented 25%, Asia Pacific represented 11% and other regions represented 10% of our total revenues. During the 2004 fiscal year, sales to customers in the United States represented 50%, Europe represented 28%, Asia Pacific represented 13% and other regions represented 9% of our total revenues. We anticipate that sales to international customers will continue to account for a major portion of our revenues.

* No single customer accounted for 10% or more of our total revenues in fiscal 2005, 2004, and 2003. It is possible, however, that in future periods the failure of one or more large customers to purchase products in quantities anticipated by us may adversely affect the results of operations.

Gross Margin

Our gross margin varies due to a number of factors including product mix, pricing, distribution channel used, the effects of production volumes, new product start-up costs, and foreign currency translations. Gross margin as a percentage of total revenues was 50.3% in fiscal 2005 and 48.6% in fiscal 2004. The increase in gross margin percentage for fiscal 2005, compared with fiscal 2004, was due to the success of our market segmentation strategy, higher service revenues, cost reductions, and introduction of higher margin products.

Gross margin as a percentage of total revenues was 48.6 % in fiscal 2004 and 49.6% in fiscal 2003. The decrease in gross margin percentage for fiscal 2004, compared with fiscal 2003, was due to changes in the mix of products sold, principally related to increased sales of lower margin Nikon-branded survey and construction products, our agriculture products, pricing pressure in our Component Technologies business (which typically demonstrates increased unit volumes coupled with declining unit prices), the impact of the weaker US dollar on our non US manufacturing, and distribution costs.

* Because of potential product mix changes within and among the industry markets, market pressures on unit selling prices, fluctuations in unit manufacturing costs, including increases in component prices and other factors, current level gross margins cannot be assured.

Operating Income

Operating income as a percentage of total revenue was 16.1% in fiscal 2005 compared to 12.8% in fiscal 2004 and 10.0% in fiscal 2003. The increase is driven by improvement in revenues, in gross margins, and greater leverage of operating expenses. Operating expenses represented 34.2% of total revenue in fiscal 2005 as compared to 35.8% in fiscal 2004.

Results by Segment

To achieve distribution, marketing, production, and technology advantages in our targeted markets, we manage our operations in the following five segments: Engineering and Construction, Field Solutions, Component Technologies, Mobile Solutions, and Portfolio Technologies. Segment operating income (loss) is net revenue less operating expenses, excluding general corporate expenses, amortization of purchased intangibles, restructuring charges, non-operating income (expense), and income taxes.

Engineering and Construction

Engineering and Construction revenues increased by $84.0 million or 19% while segment operating income increased by $38.5 million or 48.4% for fiscal 2005 as compared to fiscal 2004. The revenue growth was driven by the introduction of products such as the Trimble S6 and machine control products, and growth of existing products such as the Trimble R8 GPS System. Revenue growth was also attributed to the acquisitions for fiscal 2005. Segment operating income increased as a result of higher revenues and increased sales of higher margin products.

Page 34

Engineering and Construction revenues increased by $73.4 million or 20% while segment operating income increased by $18.8 million or 31.1% for fiscal 2004 as compared to fiscal 2003. The relatively strong environment of fiscal 2003 continued into fiscal 2004, resulting in continued robust demand for survey, machine control, and laser products. In addition, the full year effects for Nikon-branded products contributed to the year over year increase. Targeted new product introductions, such as the 5500 Servo Driven Total Station, provided improved market penetration. The weaker US dollar also contributed to increased revenues in this operating segment. Operating income increased at a higher rate than revenue growth due to greater operating leverage on expenses.

Field Solutions

Field Solutions revenues increased by approximately $22.3 million or 21.1% while segment operating income increased by $7.4 million or 29.3% for fiscal year 2005 as compared to fiscal 2004. Revenue increased primarily due to successful new products such as the AgGPS EZ-Guide System and AgGPS EZ-Steer System in our agriculture product line and as a result of higher demand for both automated and manual guidance products into the agricultural market in the first quarter of the fiscal year.

Field Solutions revenues increased by approximately $25.7 million or 32.2% while segment operating income increased by $10.7 million or 73.5% for fiscal year 2004 as compared to fiscal 2003. Revenues increased primarily as a result of higher demand for both automated and manual guidance products in the agricultural market. In particular, revenues were enhanced by the introduction of EZ-Guide Plus. We saw increases in our GIS product lines due to increases in our dealer and distributor business. Additionally, programs designed to expand our distribution channel by supplementing value-added, solutions focused business partners to our traditional dealer profile were successful. In addition, we saw improved results in Europe and increased opportunities in China. Increases in this segment’s operating income were primarily due to higher revenues.

Component Technologies

Component Technologies revenues decreased by $11.6 million or 17.7% and segment operating income decreased by $5.8 million or 42.1% for the fiscal year 2005 as compared to fiscal 2004. Revenues decreased primarily due to the decline in demand for our in-vehicle navigation products as a result of changes in buying strategies among certain automotive manufacturers, and softness in the timing businesses. The decrease was partially offset by an increase in the OEM board business. Operating income decreased primarily due to lower revenue and unfavorable product mix.

Component Technologies revenues increased by $1.3 million or 2.1%, while segment operating income decreased by $2.7 million or 16.2% for the fiscal year 2004 as compared to fiscal 2003. Revenues increased primarily due to higher demand from vehicle navigation and tracking customers, partially offset by the decline in demand from wireless infrastructure customers. The segment operating income decrease was primarily due to pricing pressures from the embedded and in-vehicle navigation product lines, a less favorable product mix, and increased spending for development of new categories of products.

Mobile Solutions

Mobile Solutions revenues increased by $8.0 million or 33.8% in fiscal 2005 over fiscal 2004 due to increased subscriber growth, an increase in sales into the ready-mix suppliers, and increased sales from our dealer channel as we continue to develop and extend this channel. Operating loss decreased in fiscal 2005 compared to fiscal 2004 primarily attributable to an increase in revenues and increase in gross margins due higher recurring service revenue.

Mobile Solutions revenues increased by $10.6 million or 81.3% in fiscal 2004 over fiscal 2003 due primarily to increases sales into the construction materials market, higher dealer sales and a significant enterprise sale. During the first quarter of fiscal 2004, we completed the acquisition of TracerNET to strengthen our presence in this segment. The benefits of the integration were not fully reflected until the fourth quarter of fiscal 2004 and the full year impact of these activities were not realized until fiscal 2005. Segment operating loss decreased by $0.5 million or 7.1% in fiscal 2004 over fiscal 2003 due to increased revenues which was largely offset by increased expenses related to the integration of the TracerNET acquisition.

Page 35

Portfolio Technologies

Portfolio Technologies revenues increased by $3.5 million or 10.5% while segment operating income increased by $0.3 million or 6.4% for fiscal 2005 as compared to fiscal 2004. The increase in revenue and operating income was primarily due to stronger performance in our Applanix airborne business which was offset by an increase in marketing expenses related to our Trimble Outdoors initiative.

Portfolio Technologies revenues increased by $16.9 million or 100.6% while segment operating income increased by $6.6 million or 388.6% for fiscal 2004 as compared to fiscal 2003. The increases in revenues and operating income were primarily due to the inclusion of full year results of Applanix, acquired in July 2003, and higher sales of our military and advanced systems products.

Research and Development, Sales and Marketing, and General and Administrative Expenses

The following table shows research and development (“R&D”), sales and marketing, and general and administrative (“G&A”) expenses in absolute dollars and as a percentage of total net revenues for the fiscal years ended 2005, 2004 and 2003 and should be read in conjunction with the narrative descriptions of those operating expenses below.

	December 30, 2005		December 31, 2004		January 2, 2004
Fiscal Years Ended	December 30, 2005		December 31, 2004		January 2, 2004
(In thousands)
Research and development	$ 84,276	11%	$ 77,558	11%	$ 67,641	13%
Sales and marketing	120,215	15%	108,054	16%	97,870	18%
General and administrative	52,137	7%	44,694	7%	39,253	7%
	$ 256,628	33%	$ 230,306	34%	$ 204,764	38%

Overall, R&D, sales and marketing, and G&A increased by approximately $26.3 million in fiscal 2005 compared to fiscal 2004.

Research and development expenses increased by $6.7 million in fiscal 2005 compared to fiscal 2004 primarily due to the inclusion of expenses from acquisitions not applicable in the prior year in the amount of $2.8 million and increase in compensation of $2.8 million. All of our R&D costs have been expensed as incurred. Cost of software developed for external sale subsequent to reaching technical feasibility were not considered material and were expensed as incurred.

Research and development expenses increased by $9.9 million in fiscal 2004 compared to fiscal 2003 primarily due to sustaining engineering expenses and costs incurred related to new product development, continued investment in next generation technologies, and the effect of foreign currency fluctuations.

* Overall research and development spending remained relatively constant at approximately 11% of revenues. We expect to continue to devote resources to the development of new products and the enhancement of existing products. We believe that research and development is critical to our strategic product development objectives and that to leverage our leading technology and meet the changing requirements of our customers, we will need to fund investments in several development projects in parallel.

Sales and marketing expenses increased by $12.2 million in fiscal 2005 compared to fiscal 2004, but decreased as a percent of total revenues. The increase was primarily due to advertising and promotion costs associated with the launch of new products of $5.4 million, the inclusion of expenses from acquisitions not applicable in the prior year of $1.5 million, increase in travel expenses of $1.4 million, increase in compensation of $1.7 million and an increase $0.6 million foreign currency transaction loss.

Sales and marketing expenses increased by $10.2 million in fiscal 2004 compared to fiscal 2003, but decreased as a percent of total revenues. The majority of the increase was due to the increase in revenue, promotional programs associated with new products, and the foreign exchange impact on expenses in our non US operations.

* We intend to continue to focus and expand our sales and marketing efforts across all the geographies and markets we serve in order to increase market awareness of our products and to better support our existing customers worldwide. Our future growth will depend in part on the timely development and continued viability of the markets in which we currently compete as well as our ability to continue to identify and exploit new markets for our products.

Page 36

General and administrative expenses increased by $7.4 million in fiscal 2005 compared to fiscal 2004 primarily due to an increase in compensation expense of $5.9 million, increase in rent expense of $1.0 million as we were making duplicate payments during our move to our new headquarters, the inclusion of expenses from acquisitions not applicable in the prior year of $1.8 million, and increase of $0.8 million in patent expense. This was partially offset by a decrease in bad debt expense of $1.7 million and an increase of $0.4 million foreign currency transaction gain. Spending overall remained relatively constant at approximately 7% of revenues.

General and administrative expenses increased by $5.4 million in fiscal 2004 compared to fiscal 2003 primarily due to the inclusion of G&A expenses from acquisitions, expenses related to compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and bad debt expenses of $1.2 million.

Other Operating Expenses

Restructuring Charges

Restructuring charges of $0.3 million, $0.6 million, and $2.0 million were recorded in fiscal years 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The charges in fiscal 2005 were primarily related to office closure costs due to integration efforts of the Mensi acquisition. The charges in fiscal 2004 were primarily related to severance costs due to the realignment of Trimble Mobile Solutions Inc. while charges in fiscal 2003 were primarily related to our Japanese office relocation due to the Nikon-Trimble joint venture formation. As a result of these actions, the headcount of the affected operations decreased by 36 and 77 in fiscal 2004, and 2003, respectively. As of December 30, 2005, the remaining accrual balance of $0.3 million is related to the office closure expected to be paid over the next several years.

In-Process Research and Development

We recorded In-process research and development (IPR&D) expense of $1.1 million related to acquisitions made in fiscal 2005. We did not record any IPR&D expense in fiscal 2004 and fiscal 2003. At the date of each acquisition, the projects associated with the IPR&D efforts had not yet reached technological feasibility and the research and development in process had no alternative future uses. The value of the IPR&D was determined using a discounted cash flow model similar to the income approach, focusing on the income producing capabilities of the in-process technologies. Accordingly, the value assigned to these IPR&D amounts were charged to expense on the respective acquisition date of each of the acquired companies.

Amortization of Purchased and Other Intangible Assets

	December 30,	December 31,	January 2,
Fiscal Years Ended	2005	2004	2004
(in thousands)
Amortization of purchased intangibles	$ 6,855	$ 8,327	$ 7,312
Amortization of other intangible assets	165	183	604
Amortization of purchased and other intangible assets	$ 7,020	$ 8,510	$ 7,916

Amortization expense of purchased and other intangibles represented 0.9% of revenue in fiscal 2005, a decrease of $1.5 million from fiscal 2004 when it represented 1.3% of revenue. Although we had acquisitions in the current fiscal year, amortization decreased due to the fact our Spectra Precision Group intangibles were fully amortized in the second quarter of fiscal 2005. Amortization expense of purchased and other intangibles represented 1.3% of revenue in fiscal 2004, an increase of $0.6 million from fiscal 2003 when it represented 1.5% of revenue.

Page 37

Non-operating Expense, Net

The following table shows non-operating expense, net for the periods indicated and should be read in conjunction with the narrative descriptions of those expenses below:

	December 30,	December 31,	January 2,
Fiscal Years Ended	2005	2004	2004
(in thousands)

Interest income	$ 836	$ 436	$ 465
Interest expense	(2,331)	(3,888)	(11,938)
Foreign exchange gain (loss)	1,022	(859)	(592)
Expenses for affiliated operations, net	(291)	(7,590)	(6,403)
Other income (expense)	608	1,200	118
Total non-operating expense, net	$ (156)	$ (10,701)	$ (18,350)

Non-operating expense, net decreased by $10.5 million or 98.5% during fiscal 2005 as compared with fiscal 2004 primarily due to a decrease in net interest expense of $2.0 million as a result of the repayment of debt and interest earned on higher cash balances offset by a $0.9 million write-off of debt issuance costs relating to the 2003 Credit Facility, an increase of $1.9 million in foreign currency transaction gain and a $7.3 million decrease in expenses for affiliated operations as a result of increased profits from our joint ventures and recognition of the remaining deferred gain from the Caterpillar joint venture. This was partially offset by a decrease in other income primarily due to the absence of a non-recurring gain in investments of approximately $1.0 million in fiscal year 2004.

* Expenses for affiliated operation decreased by $7.3 million in fiscal 2005 compared to fiscal 2004 due to the recognition of the remaining $9.2 million deferred gain related to the Caterpillar joint venture. Since the joint venture is now profitable on a sustainable basis, future operating losses are not anticipated and there are no future outstanding financial obligations by us to the joint venture, we recognized the gain. This amount was offset by an increased impact from the incremental transfer pricing effects due to growth in our construction product sales of $2.6 million. (See Note 5 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for financial information regarding joint ventures). Furthermore, we recorded our share of profits in the Caterpillar joint venture which increased by $2.5 million. This was partially offset by a decrease in our share of profits in our Nikon-Trimble joint venture of $1.1 million.

Non-operating expense, net decreased by $7.6 million or 42% during fiscal 2004 as compared with fiscal 2003 primarily due to lower interest expense after the repayment of the principal balance of a subordinated note in June 2003, the write off of $2.3 million of debt issuance costs as a result of our debt refinancing in June 2003 and $1.3 million related to the write off of the remaining unamortized portion of the warrants issued to Spectra-Physics Holdings USA, Inc. The increases in expense for affiliated operations were primarily due to our higher construction machine control revenues which led to increased impact from the pricing effects of transactions between us and the Caterpillar joint venture. This was partially offset by an increase of $1.1 million related to our share of profits in the Nikon-Trimble joint venture. The increase in other income (expense) was primarily due to a net gain related to the sale of an investment.

Income Tax Provision

Our effective income tax rates for fiscal years 2005, 2004 and 2003 were 32%, 10% and (8%), respectively. The 2004 and 2003 income tax rates are less than the US federal statutory rate of 35%, primarily due to the realization of benefits from net operating losses and other previously reserved deferred tax assets. Our 2005 income tax rate is less than US federal statutory rate, primarily due to the benefit from the US incentive repatriation of undistributed foreign subsidiary earnings provided by the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004.

Repatriation of foreign earnings. The American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 (the Act) provides for a special one-time elective dividends received deduction on the repatriation of certain foreign earnings to a U.S. taxpayer equal to 85% of the eligible distribution. During the fourth quarter of 2005, the Company repatriated $39.5 million, of which $24 million qualified for the special one-time elective dividends received deduction and $15.5 million constituted earnings that do not qualify under the Act; previously taxed income and return of capital. The company recorded a $6.4 million tax benefit from these foreign earnings.

Litigation Matters

* From time to time, we are involved in litigation arising out of the ordinary course of our business. There are no known claims or pending litigation that are expected to have a material effect on our overall financial position, results of operations, or liquidity.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

Other than lease commitments incurred in the normal course of business (see Contractual Obligation table below), we do not have any off-balance sheet financing arrangements or liabilities, guarantee contracts, retained or contingent interests in transferred assets, or any obligation arising out of a material variable interest in an unconsolidated entity. We do not have any majority-owned subsidiaries that are not included in the consolidated financial statements. Additionally, we do not have any interest in, or relationship with, any special purpose entities.

Cash used in investing activities	$ (74,918)	$ (25,133)	$ (22,653)

Net increase in cash and cash equivalents	$ 1,981	$ 26,456	$ 16,737

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Our financial condition further strengthened at December 30, 2005. Cash and cash equivalents totaled $73.9 million with essentially no debt compared to cash and cash equivalents of $71.9 million and debt of $39.0 million at December 31, 2004.

In fiscal 2005, cash provided by operating activities was $92.9 million, as compared to $74.6 million in fiscal 2004. The increase of $18.3 million was primarily driven by the $17.2 million increase in net income during fiscal 2005 compared to fiscal 2004. Our ability to continue to generate cash from operations will depend in large part on profitability, the rate of collections of accounts receivable, our inventory turns, and our ability to manage other areas of working capital. Our accounts receivable days for sales outstanding increased from 63 days at the end of fiscal 2004 to 66 days at the end of fiscal 2005. The increase is due to acquisitions, delayed payments from some government contracts, and past due accounts from a couple of key customers. Our inventory turns was unchanged at four at the end of fiscal 2005 and 2004.

In fiscal 2004, cash provided by operating activities was $74.6 million, as compared to $29.6 million in fiscal 2003. The increase of $45.0 million was primarily driven by the $29.2 million increase in net income during fiscal 2004 compared to fiscal 2003 and better management of working capital. Our accounts receivable days for sales outstanding decreased from 65 days at the end of fiscal 2003 to 63 days at the end of fiscal 2004. Our inventory turns was unchanged at four at the end of fiscal 2005 and 2004.

Cash used in investing activities was $74.9 million in fiscal 2005 as compared to $25.1 million in fiscal 2004. The $49.8 million increase was primarily due to an increase of $40.0 million in cash acquisitions and an increase of $10.6 million in investment in capital equipment of which $6.6 million was related to the relocation of our Sunnyvale headquarters.

Cash used in investing activities was $25.1 million in fiscal 2004 as compared to $22.7 million in fiscal 2003. The increase was primarily due to cash acquisitions and investment in capital equipment. During fiscal 2004, we spent approximately $12.8 million on capital expenditures.

Page 39

Cash used in financing activities was $13.4 million in fiscal 2005 as compared to $24.2 million in fiscal 2004. The $10.8 million decrease was primarily due to a $12.9 million decrease in repayment of net debt as we repaid our entire debt balance in the second fiscal quarter of 2005. This was partially offset by a $2.3M decrease in proceeds received from issuance of common stock and warrants.

Cash used in financing activities was $24.2 million in fiscal 2004 as compared to $54,000 in fiscal 2003. However, during fiscal 2004, we repaid approximately $65.2 million of debt related to our previous 2003 Credit Facility. These debt payments were funded by cash provided by operating activities, and the issuance of common stock to employees pursuant to our stock option plan and employee stock purchase plan of approximately $26.8 million.

* We believe that our cash and cash equivalents, together with our credit facilities ($200 million as of December 30, 2005), will be sufficient to meet our anticipated operating cash needs for at least the next twelve months.

* We expect fiscal 2006 capital expenditures to be approximately $15 million to $20 million, primarily for computer equipment, software upgrades, manufacturing tools and test equipment, and leasehold improvements associated with business expansion. Decisions related to how much cash is used for investing are influenced by the expected amount of cash to be provided by operations.

Debt

At the end of fiscal 2005, our total debt was comprised of government loans to foreign subsidiaries in amount of approximately $649,000 as compared with approximately $39.0 million at the end of fiscal 2004.

On July 28, 2005, we entered into a $200 million unsecured revolving credit agreement (“2005 Credit Facility”) with a syndicate of 10 banks with The Bank of Nova Scotia as the administrative agent. The 2005 Credit Facility replaces our $175 million secured 2003 Credit Facility. The funds available under the new 2005 Credit Facility may be used for our general corporate purposes and up to $25 million of the 2005 Credit Facility may be used for letters of credit. We incur a commitment fee if the 2005 Credit Facility is not used. The commitment fee is not material to our results during all periods presented. At December 30, 2005 and as of the date of this report, the Company has a zero balance outstanding and was in compliance with all financial debt covenants. For additional discussion of our debt, see Note 9 of Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In May 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (FASB) No. 154, "Accounting Changes and Error Corrections" ("SFAS 154") which replaces Accounting Principles Board Opinions No. 20 "Accounting Changes" and SFAS No. 3, "Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements-An Amendment of APB Opinion No. 28." SFAS 154 provides guidance on the accounting for and reporting of accounting changes and error corrections. It establishes retrospective application, or the latest practicable date, as the required method for reporting a change in accounting principle and the reporting of a correction of an error. SFAS 154 is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005 and is required to be adopted by the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2006. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that the adoption of SFAS 154 will have on its consolidated results of operations and financial condition but does not expect it to have a material impact.

In March 2005, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation Number (FIN) 47, "Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 143" ("FIN 47"). FIN 47 requires an entity to recognize a liability for the fair value of a conditional asset retirement obligation when incurred if the liability's fair value can be reasonably estimated. FIN 47 is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2005. The Company was not impacted by the adoption of FIN 47 in fiscal 2005.

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment.” SFAS No. 123R requires employee stock options and rights to purchase shares under stock participation plans to be accounted for under the fair value method, and eliminates the ability to account for these instruments under the intrinsic value method prescribed by APB Opinion No. 25, and allowed under the original provisions of SFAS No. 123. SFAS No. 123R requires the use of an option pricing model for estimating fair value, which is amortized to expense over the service periods. The requirements of SFAS No. 123R are effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. SFAS No. 123R allows for either prospective recognition of compensation expense or retrospective recognition, which may be back to the original issuance of SFAS No. 123 or only to interim periods in the year of adoption. The Company will use the prospective method for future fiscal period after the SFAS No. 123R effective date of 12/31/05. As a result, financial statements for fiscal periods after our SFAS No. 123R effective date will include stock-based compensation expenses that are not comparable to financial statements of fiscal periods prior to the SFAS No. 123R effective date. Due to constant fluctuations to the expected volatility, expected term, risk free interest rate, and expected forfeiture assumptions used in valuating stock-based compensation, expected stock-based compensation expense in future fiscal periods is not predictable.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk

We are exposed to market risk related to changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. We use certain derivative financial instruments to manage these risks. We do not use derivative financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes. All financial instruments are used in accordance with policies approved by our board of directors.

Market Interest Rate Risk

We may be exposed to market risk in the event we borrow against our 2005 Credit Facility. Borrowings under the 2005 Credit Facility have interest payments based on a floating rate of LIBOR plus a number of basis points tied to a formula based on our Leverage Ratio. The 2005 Credit Facility had outstanding principal balances of zero as of December 30, 2005.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

We enter into foreign exchange forward contracts to minimize the short-term impact of foreign currency fluctuations on certain trade and inter-company receivables and payables, primarily denominated in Australian, Canadian, New Zealand, and Swedish currencies, the Euro, and the British pound. These contracts reduce the exposure to fluctuations in exchange rate movements as the gains and losses associated with foreign currency balances are generally offset with the gains and losses on the forward contracts. These instruments are marked to market through earnings every period and generally range from one to three months in original maturity. We do not enter into foreign exchange forward contract for trading purposes.

Foreign exchange forward contracts outstanding as of December 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004 are summarized as follows (in thousands):

		December 30, 2005				December 31, 2004
		Nominal Amount		Fair Value		Nominal Amount		Fair Value
Forward contracts:
	Purchased	$	(14,426)	$	249	$	(15,875)	$	431
	Sold	$	27,726	$	328	$	22,750	$	(970)

* We do not anticipate any material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position utilizing our current hedging strategy.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1: DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Trimble Navigation Limited began operations in 1978 and incorporated in California in 1981. Trimble provides advanced positioning product solutions, most typically to commercial and government users. The principal applications served include surveying, construction, agriculture, machine guidance, asset and fleet management, and telecommunications infrastructure. The Company’s products typically provide its customers benefits that can include lower costs, and higher productivity. Examples of products include systems that guide agricultural and construction equipment, surveying instruments, systems that track fleets of vehicles, and data collection systems that enable the management of large amounts of geo referenced information. In addition, the Company also manufactures components for in vehicle navigation and telematics systems, and timing modules used in the synchronization of wireless networks.

NOTE 2: ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Estimates are used for revenue recognition, allowances for doubtful accounts, sales returns reserve, allowances for inventory valuation, warranty costs, investments, goodwill impairments, and income taxes among others. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially from management’s estimates.

Basis of Presentation

Trimble has a fiscal year that ends on the Friday nearest to December 31. Fiscal 2005, a 53-week year, ended on December 30, 2005 and fiscal 2004 and fiscal 2003, 52-week years, ended on December 31, 2004 and January 2, 2004, respectively.

These Consolidated Financial Statements include the results of Trimble and its subsidiaries. Inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Certain amounts from prior years have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

In 2005 the Company revised its statements of cash flows for 2004 and 2003. The changes relate to the Company’s classification of the foreign exchange impact on its cash and cash equivalents that was erroneously included in cash flows from operations. These corrections have been made retrospectively modifying the presentation for 2004 and 2003. The changes resulted in an increase to cash flows from operations of $1.5 million and a decrease of $6.9 million in 2004 and 2003, respectively. These revisions to the statements of cash flows had no impact on the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, balance sheet, or income statement.

Foreign Currency Translation

Assets and liabilities of non-U.S. subsidiaries that operate in local currencies are translated to U.S. dollars at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date, with the resulting translation adjustments directly recorded to a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income. Income and expense accounts are translated at average exchange rates during the year. Where the U.S. dollar is the functional currency, translation adjustments are recorded in foreign currency transaction adjustments, net of tax in accumulated other comprehensive income within the shareholders’ equity section of the consolidated balance sheets.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include all cash and highly liquid investments with insignificant interest rate risk and maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase. The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair value of certain of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, and other accrued liabilities approximate cost because of their short maturities. The fair value of investments is determined using quoted market prices for those securities or similar financial instruments.

Page 47

Concentration of Risk

Cash and cash equivalents are maintained with several financial institutions. Deposits held with banks may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits. Generally, these deposits may be redeemed upon demand and are maintained with financial institutions of reputable credit and therefore bear minimal credit risk.

The Company is also exposed to credit risk in the Company’s trade receivables, which are derived from sales to end user customers in diversified industries as well as various resellers. Trimble performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and limits the amount of credit extended when deemed necessary but generally does not require collateral.

With the selection of Solectron Corporation in August 1999 as an exclusive manufacturing partner for many of its GPS products, Trimble became substantially dependent upon a sole supplier for the manufacture of many of its products. In addition, the Company relies on sole suppliers for a number of its critical components.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Trimble maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments.

Trimble evaluates the collectibility of its trade accounts receivable based on a number of factors such as age of the accounts receivable balances, credit quality, historical experience, and current economic conditions that may affect a customer’s ability to pay. In circumstances where the Company is aware of a specific customer’s inability to meet its financial obligations to the Company, a specific allowance for bad debts is estimated and recorded which reduces the recognized receivable to the estimated amount Trimble believes will ultimately be collected. In addition to specific customer identification of potential bad debts, bad debt charges are recorded based on the Company’s recent past loss history and an overall assessment of past due trade accounts receivable amounts outstanding.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of standard cost or market (net realizable value). Standard costs approximate actual costs, which are generally on a first-in, first-out basis. The Company uses a standard cost accounting system to value inventory and these standards are reviewed at a minimum of once a year and multiple times a year in the most active manufacturing plants. The Company provides inventory allowances based on excess and obsolete inventories determined primarily by future demand forecasts. If actual future demand or market conditions are less favorable than those projected by management, additional inventory write-downs may be required.

Software Development Costs

The Company capitalizes material software development costs for internal use pursuant to Statement of Position No. 98-1, “Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use.”

Goodwill, Purchased Intangible Assets and Long-Lived Assets

Intangible assets include goodwill, distribution channels, patents, licenses, technology, acquired backlog and trademarks which are capitalized at cost. Intangible assets with definite lives are amortized on the straight-line basis. Useful lives generally range from three to seven years with weighted average useful life of 5.2 years.

If facts and circumstances indicate that intangible assets or property and equipment may be impaired, an evaluation of continuing value would be performed. If an evaluation is required, the estimated future undiscounted cash flows associated with these assets would be compared to their carrying amount to determine if a write-down to fair market value or discounted cash flow value is required. Trimble performed an annual impairment test of goodwill at the end of the third fiscal quarter of 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively, and found there was no impairment of goodwill. Trimble will continue to evaluate its goodwill for impairment on an annual basis at the end of each fiscal third quarter and whenever events and changes in circumstances suggest that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.

Revenue Recognition

Trimble’s revenues are recorded in accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 104, “Revenue Recognition.” The Company recognizes product revenue when

Page 48

persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collectibility is reasonably assured. In instances where final acceptance of the product is specified by the customer or is uncertain, revenue is deferred until all acceptance criteria have been met.

Contracts and customer purchase orders are typically used to determine the existence of an arrangement. Shipping documents and customer acceptance, when applicable, are used to verify delivery. The Company assesses whether the fee is fixed or determinable based on the payment terms associated with the transaction and whether the sales price is subject to refund or adjustment. The Company assesses collectibility based primarily on the creditworthiness of the customer as determined by credit checks and analysis, as well as the customer’s payment history.

Trimble’s shipment terms for US orders, and international orders fulfilled from its European distribution center are typically FCA (Free Carrier) shipping point, except certain sales to US government agencies which are shipped FOB destination. FCA shipping point means that Trimble fulfills the obligation to deliver when the goods are handed over, cleared for export, and into the charge of the carrier named by the buyer at the named place or point. If no precise point is indicated by the buyer, Trimble may choose within the place or range stipulated where the carrier will take the goods into carrier’s charge. Shipping and handling costs are included in the cost of goods sold.

Other international orders are shipped FOB destination, which means these international orders are not recognized as revenue until the product is delivered and title has transferred to the buyer or FCA shipping point. FOB destination means that Trimble bears all costs and risks of loss or damage to the goods up to that point.

Revenue to distributors and resellers is recognized upon delivery, assuming all other criteria for revenue recognition have been met. Distributors and resellers do not have a right of return.

Revenues from purchased extended warranty and support agreements are deferred and recognized ratably over the term of the warranty/support period.

In accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue 00-21, “Accounting for Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables,” when a sale involves multiple elements the entire fee from the arrangement is allocated to each respective element based on its relative fair value and recognized when revenue recognition criteria for each element are met.

Software revenue is recognized in accordance with Statement of Position (SOP) No. 97-2, “Software Revenue Recognition” and Statement of Position (SOP) No. 98-9, “Modification of SOP 97-2.” Trimble’s software arrangements generally consist of a perpetual license fee and post contract customer support (PCS). Trimble has established vendor-specific objective evidence (VSOE) of fair value for its PCS contracts based on the renewal rate. The remaining value of the software arrangement is allocated to the license fee using the residual method, which revenue is primarily recognized when the software has been delivered and there are no remaining obligations. Revenue from PCS is recognized ratably over the term of the PCS agreement.

A reserve for sales returns is established based on historical trends in product return rates experienced in the ordinary course of business. The reserve for estimated future returns is recorded as a reduction of our accounts receivable and revenue. If the actual returns were to deviate from the historical data on which the sales reserve had been established, the Company’s revenue could be adversely affected.

Warranty

The Company accrues for warranty costs as part of its cost of sales based on associated material product costs, technical support labor costs, and costs incurred by third parties performing work on Trimble’s behalf. The products sold are generally covered by a warranty for periods ranging from 90 days to three years, and in some instances up to 5.5 years.

While the Company engages in extensive product quality programs and processes, including actively monitoring and evaluating the quality of component suppliers, its warranty obligation is affected by product failure rates, material usage, and service delivery costs incurred in correcting a product failure. Should actual product failure rates, material usage, or service delivery costs differ from the estimates, revisions to the estimated warranty accrual and related costs may be required.

Changes in the Company’s product warranty liability during the 12 months ended December 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, are as follows:

		December 30,		December 31,
Fiscal Years Ended		2005		2004
(In thousands)

Beginning balance	$	6,425	$	5,147
Warranties accrued		7,960		7,333
Warranty claims		(6,919)		(6,055)
Ending Balance	$	7,466	$	6,425

Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others

In the normal course of business to facilitate sales of its products, the Company indemnifies other parties, including customers, lessors, and parties to other transactions with the Company, with respect to certain matters. The Company has agreed to hold the other party harmless against losses arising from a breach of representations or covenants, or out of intellectual property infringement or other claims made against certain parties. These agreements may limit the time within which an indemnification claim can be made and the amount of the claim. In addition, the Company has entered into indemnification agreements with its officers and directors, and the Company’s bylaws contain similar indemnification obligations to the Company’s agents.

Advertising Costs

The Company expenses all advertising costs as incurred. Advertising expenses were approximately $14.8 million, $9.5 million, and $9.2 million in fiscal 2005, 2004, and 2003, respectively.

Research and Development Costs

Research and development costs are charged to expense as incurred. Cost of software developed for external sale subsequent to reaching technical feasibility were not considered material and were expensed as incurred. The Company received third party funding of approximately $9.0 million, $7.7 million, and $4.9 million in fiscal 2005, 2004, and 2003 respectively. The Company offsets research and development expenses with any third party funding received. The Company retains the rights to any technology developed under such arrangements.

Stock-Based Compensation

In accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (“SFAS 123”), "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" and “Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 148” (“SFAS 148”), “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure,” Trimble applies Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" (“APB 25”) and related interpretations in accounting for its stock-based compensation. Accordingly, the Company does not recognize compensation cost for stock options granted at fair market value. Note 15 of the Consolidated Financial Statements describe the plans operated by Trimble.

For purposes of pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair value of the options is amortized to expense over the options' vesting period, and the estimated fair value of purchases under the employee stock purchase plan is expensed in the year of purchase as well as the stock-based employee compensation cost, net of related tax effects, that would have been included in the determination of net income if the fair value based method had been applied to all awards.

Page 50

Pro forma information regarding net income and earnings per share is required by SFAS 123 and has been determined as if Trimble had accounted for its employee stock options and purchases under the employee stock purchase plan using the fair value method of SFAS 123.

Options

For options granted prior to October 1, 2005, the fair value for these options was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. For stock options granted on or after October 1, 2005, the fair value of each award is estimated on the date of grant using a binomial valuation model. Similar to the Black-Scholes model, the binomial model takes into account variables such as volatility, dividend yield rate, and risk free interest rate. In addition, the binomial model incorporates actual option-pricing behavior and changes in volatility over the option’s contractual term. For these reasons, Trimble believes that the binomial model provides a fair value that is more representative of actual experience and future expected experience than the value calculated using the Black-Scholes model.

Under the Black-Scholes and binomial models, the estimated values of employee stock options granted during fiscal years 2005, 2004, and 2003 were $14.53, $13.85, and $10.03, respectively. The value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and binomial model with the following assumptions:

	December 30, 2005	December 31, 2004	January 2, 2004
Expected dividend yield	-	-	-
Expected stock price volatility	47%	56%	60%
Risk free interest rate	4.3%	3.5%	3.3%
Expected life of options after vesting	1.7 years	1.6 years	1.6 years

An analysis of historical information is used to determine the Company’s assumptions, to the extent that historical information is relevant, based on the terms of the grants being issued in any given period. The expected life for options granted reflects options granted to existing employees that generally vest ratably over five years from the date of grant.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

Under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan, rights to purchase shares are granted during the second and fourth quarter of each year. The fair value of rights granted under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The estimated weighted average value of rights granted under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan during fiscal years 2005, 2004, and 2003 were $9.88, $7.31, and $3.57 respectively. The fair value of rights granted during 2005, 2004, and 2003 was estimated at the date of grant using the following assumptions:

Fiscal years ended	December 30, 2005	December 31, 2004	January 2, 2004
Expected dividend yield	-	-	-
Expected stock price volatility	47%	46%	60%
Risk free interest rate	3.5%	1.7%	1.1%
Expected life of purchase	0.5 years	0.5 years	0.5 years

Trimble's pro forma information is as follows:

		December 30,		December 31,		January 2,
(in thousands, except per share amounts)		2005		2004		2004

Net income, as reported	$	84,855	$	67,680	$	38,485
Compensation expense, net of tax		8,682		8,617		9,817
Pro-forma net income	$	76,173	$	59,063	$	28,668

Reported basic earnings per share	$	1.59	$	1.32	$	0.81
Pro-forma basic earnings per share	$	1.43	$	1.15	$	0.60

Reported diluted earnings per share	$	1.49	$	1.23	$	0.77
Pro-forma diluted earnings per share	$	1.34	$	1.07	$	0.57

SFAS 123 requires the use of option pricing models that were not developed for use in valuing employee stock options. The Black-Scholes option pricing model were developed for use in estimating the fair value of short-lived exchange-traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, the models require the input of highly subjective assumptions. Because the Company’s stock-based compensation has characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in the opinion of management, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of employee stock-based compensation.

Depreciation

Depreciation of property and equipment owned is computed using the straight-line method over the shorter of the estimated useful lives or the lease terms. Useful lives include a range from two to six years for machinery and equipment, five years for furniture and fixtures, two to five years for computer equipment and software, and the life of the lease for leasehold improvements. The costs of repairs and maintenance are expensed when incurred, while expenditures for refurbishments and improvements that significantly add to the productive capacity or extend the useful life of an asset are capitalized. Depreciation expense was $10.7 million in fiscal 2005, $8.9 million in fiscal 2004, and $8.9 million in fiscal 2003.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the liability method whereby deferred tax asset or liability account balances are calculated at the balance sheet date using current tax laws and rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce the carrying amounts of deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that such assets will not be realized.

Computation of Earnings Per Share

Number of shares used in calculation of basic earnings per share represents the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period and excludes any dilutive effects of options, warrants, and convertible securities. The dilutive effects of options, warrants, and convertible securities are included in diluted earnings per share.

New Accounting Standards

In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, "Accounting Changes and Error Corrections" ("SFAS 154") which replaces Accounting Principles Board Opinions No. 20 "Accounting Changes" and SFAS No. 3, "Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements-An Amendment of APB Opinion No. 28." SFAS 154 provides guidance on the accounting for and reporting of accounting changes and error corrections. It establishes retrospective application, or the latest practicable date, as the required method for reporting a change in accounting principle and the reporting of a correction of an error. SFAS 154 is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005 and is required to be adopted by the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2006. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that the adoption of SFAS 154 will have on its consolidated results of operations and financial condition but does not expect it to have a material impact.

In March 2005, the FASB issued FIN 47, "Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 143" ("FIN 47"). FIN 47 requires an entity to recognize a liability for the fair value of a conditional asset retirement obligation when incurred if the liability's fair value can be reasonably estimated. FIN 47 is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2005. The Company was not impacted by the adoption of FIN 47 in fiscal 2005.

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment.” SFAS No. 123R requires employee stock options and rights to purchase shares under stock participation plans to be accounted for under the fair value method, and eliminates the ability to account for these instruments under the intrinsic value method prescribed by APB Opinion No. 25, and allowed under the original provisions of SFAS No. 123. SFAS No. 123R requires the use of an option pricing model for estimating fair value, which is amortized to expense over the service periods. The requirements of SFAS No. 123R are effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. SFAS No. 123R allows for either prospective recognition of compensation expense or retrospective recognition, which may be back to the original issuance of SFAS No. 123 or only to interim periods in the year of adoption. The Company will use the prospective method for future fiscal periods after the SFAS No. 123R effective date of 12/31/05. As a result, financial statements for fiscal periods after our SFAS No. 123R effective date will include stock-based compensation expenses that are not comparable to financial statements of fiscal periods prior to the SFAS No. 123R effective date. Due to constant fluctuations to the expected volatility, expected term, risk free interest rate, and expected forfeiture assumptions used in valuating stock-based compensation, expected stock-based compensation expense in future fiscal periods is not predictable.
