Includes currency on hand as well as demand deposits with banks or financial institutions. It also includes other kinds of accounts that have the general characteristics of demand deposits in that the Entity may deposit additional funds at any time and also effectively may withdraw funds at any time without prior notice or penalty. Cash equivalents, excluding items classified as marketable securities, include short-term, highly liquid investments that are both readily convertible to known amounts of cash, and so near their maturity that they present minimal risk of changes in value because of changes in interest rates. Generally, only investments with original maturities of three months or less qualify under that definition. Original maturity means original maturity to the entity holding the investment. For example, both a three-month US Treasury bill and a three-year Treasury note purchased three months from maturity qualify as cash equivalents. However, a Treasury note purchased three years ago does not become a cash equivalent when its remaining maturity is three months. Compensating balance arrangements that do not legally restrict the withdrawal or usage of cash amounts may be reported as Cash and Cash Equivalents, while legally restricted deposits held as compensating balances against borrowing arrangements, contracts entered into with others, or company statements of intention with regard to particular deposits are not generally reported as cash and cash equivalents. Includes cash and cash equivalents associated with the entity's continuing operations. Excludes cash and cash equivalents associated with the disposal group (and discontinued operation).

- Definition
Includes currency on hand as well as demand deposits with banks or financial institutions. It also includes other kinds of accounts that have the general characteristics of demand deposits in that the Entity may deposit additional funds at any time and also effectively may withdraw funds at any time without prior notice or penalty. Cash equivalents, excluding items classified as marketable securities, include short-term, highly liquid investments that are both readily convertible to known amounts of cash, and so near their maturity that they present minimal risk of changes in value because of changes in interest rates. Generally, only investments with original maturities of three months or less qualify under that definition. Original maturity means original maturity to the entity holding the investment. For example, both a three-month US Treasury bill and a three-year Treasury note purchased three months from maturity qualify as cash equivalents. However, a Treasury note purchased three years ago does not become a cash equivalent when its remaining maturity is three months. Compensating balance arrangements that do not legally restrict the withdrawal or usage of cash amounts may be reported as Cash and Cash Equivalents, while legally restricted deposits held as compensating balances against borrowing arrangements, contracts entered into with others, or company statements of intention with regard to particular deposits are not generally reported as cash and cash equivalents. Includes cash and cash equivalents associated with the entity's continuing operations. Excludes cash and cash equivalents associated with the disposal group (and discontinued operation).

| SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BUSINESS DESCRIPTION
We are a leading provider of machine to machine (M2M) networking products and solutions that enable
the connection, monitoring and control of local or remote physical assets by electronic means. Our
products are deployed by a wide range of businesses and institutions. We focus a significant
amount of our development, sales and marketing efforts on four vertical markets that represent
significant opportunities to expand our business: energy monitoring and management, fleet vehicle
tracking, medical monitoring and reporting and storage tank monitoring and control.
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The consolidated financial statements include our accounts and the accounts of our wholly-owned
subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
CASH EQUIVALENTS
Cash equivalents consist of money market accounts and other highly liquid investments purchased
with an original maturity of three months or less. The carrying amounts approximate fair value due
to the short maturities of these investments.
MARKETABLE SECURITIES
Marketable securities consist of certificates of deposit, commercial paper, corporate bonds
and government municipal bonds. All marketable securities are accounted for as
available-for-sale and are carried at fair value with unrealized gains and losses reported as
a separate component of stockholders’ equity. We obtain quoted market prices and trading
activity for each security, where available, review the financial solvency of each security
issuer and obtain other relevant information to estimate the fair value for each security in
our investment portfolio.
We regularly monitor and evaluate the value of our marketable securities. When assessing
marketable securities for other-than-temporary declines in value, we consider several factors.
These factors include: how significant the decline in value is as a percentage of the original
cost, how long the market value of the investment has been less than its original cost, the
underlying factors contributing to a decline in the prices of securities in a single asset class,
the performance of the issuer’s stock price in relation to the stock price of its competitors
within the industry, expected market volatility, analyst recommendations, the views of external
investment managers, any news or financial information that has been released specific to the
investee and the outlook for the overall industry in which the issuer operates. If events and
circumstances indicate that a decline in the value of a security has occurred and is
other-than-temporary, we would record a charge to other income (expense).
ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
Accounts receivable are stated at the amount we expect to collect, which is net of an allowance for
doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make
required payments. The following factors are considered when determining the collectability of
specific customer accounts: customer creditworthiness, past transaction history with the customer,
and changes in customer payment terms or practices. In addition, overall historical collection
experience, current economic industry trends, and a review
of the current status of trade accounts receivable are considered when determining the required
allowance for doubtful accounts. Based on our assessment, we provide for estimated uncollectible
amounts through a charge to earnings and a credit to our allowance for doubtful accounts. Balances
that remain outstanding after we have used reasonable collection efforts are written off through a
charge to the allowance for doubtful accounts and a credit to accounts receivable.
INVENTORIES
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or fair market value, with cost determined using the
first-in, first-out method. Appropriate consideration is given to deterioration, obsolescence and
other factors in evaluating fair market value.
PROPERTY, EQUIPMENT AND IMPROVEMENTS, NET
Property, equipment and improvements are carried at cost, net of accumulated depreciation.
Depreciation is provided by charges to operations using the straight-line method over the estimated
asset useful lives. Furniture and fixtures and other equipment are depreciated over a period of
three to seven years. Building improvements and buildings are depreciated over ten and thirty-nine
years, respectively. Equipment under capital lease is depreciated over the lesser of the lease
term or its depreciable life.
Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred, while major
renewals and betterments are capitalized. The assets and related accumulated depreciation accounts
are adjusted for asset retirements and disposals with the resulting gain or loss included in
operations.
IDENTIFIABLE INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Purchased proven technology, license agreements, covenants not to compete and other identifiable
intangible assets are recorded at fair value when acquired in a business acquisition, or at cost
when not purchased in a business acquisition. Purchased in-process research and development costs
(IPR&D) were previously expensed upon consummation of the related business acquisition. Effective
October 1, 2009 in-process research and development costs are capitalized according to
authoritative guidance issued by FASB related to business combinations. Since this new guidance
was effective, we have not completed any acquisitions. All other identifiable intangible assets
are amortized on either a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of three to
thirteen years or based on the pattern in which the asset is consumed. Useful lives for
identifiable intangible assets are estimated at the time of acquisition based on the periods of
time from which we expect to derive benefits from the identifiable intangible assets. Amortization
of purchased and core technology is presented as a separate component of cost of sales in the
Consolidated Statements of Operations. Amortization of all other acquired identifiable intangible
assets is charged to operating expense as a component of general and administrative expense.
Identifiable intangible assets are reviewed for impairment annually, at a minimum, or whenever
events or circumstances indicate that undiscounted expected future cash flows are not sufficient to
recover the carrying value amount. We measure impairment loss by utilizing an undiscounted cash
flow valuation technique using fair values indicated by the income approach. Impairment losses, if
any, would be recorded in the period the impairment is identified. No impairments were identified
during fiscal years 2011, 2010 or 2009.
GOODWILL
Goodwill represents the excess of cost over the fair value of identifiable assets acquired.
Goodwill is tested for impairment on an annual basis as of June 30, or more frequently if events or
circumstances occur which could indicate impairment. At June 30, 2011, our market capitalization
exceeded the carrying value of our reporting unit by 28.6%; therefore, there was no indication of
goodwill impairment. There were no triggering events to indicate goodwill impairment at September 30, 2011.
At June 30, 2010, our market capitalization was below the carrying value of our reporting unit.
However, our market capitalization plus our estimated control premium of 35% resulted in a fair
value in excess of our carrying value and therefore no impairment was indicated. In order for our
carrying value to equal fair value, we would have required approximately a 14% control premium. At
September 30, 2010, our market capitalization, which is an indicator of fair value, continued to be
below the carrying value of our reporting unit; however, including the control premium there
continued to be no indication of goodwill impairment at September 30, 2010. In order for our
carrying value to equal fair value, we would have required approximately a 1% control premium. The
control premium represents the amount an investor would pay over and above market capitalization in
order to obtain a controlling interest in a company. The estimated control premium was determined
by a review of premiums paid for similar companies over the past five years.
The control premium used in our annual goodwill assessment at June 30, 2010 and our further
evaluation of goodwill at September 30, 2010 was based on a control premium study that was
performed in fiscal 2009, resulting in a range of control premium of 25 percent to 35 percent. We
concluded that the high end of the range of control premiums best represented the amount an
investor would pay, over and above market capitalization, in order to obtain a controlling interest
given the economic conditions at that time. Based on our industry knowledge and discussions with
an independent third party valuation firm in June 2010, we concluded that the control premium study
performed in the previous year remained valid and the 35 percent control premium continued to apply
to our fiscal 2010 annual goodwill assessment. In order to compute the above control premium,
three methodologies were used, including (1) analyzing individual transactions within our industry,
(2) analyzing industry-wide data, and (3) analyzing global transaction data. Individual
transactions in the Communication Equipment and Computer & Peripherals industries were used to find
transactions of target companies that operated in similar markets and shared similar operating
characteristics with Digi. Transaction screening criteria included selection of transactions with
the following characteristics:
In analyzing industry-wide data, transactions in three industries were identified that encompassed
the products offered by us: Office Equipment and Computer Hardware, Communications, and Computer,
Supplies and Services. Finally, control premiums were considered for both domestic and
international transactions.
We have defined the criteria that will result in additional interim goodwill impairment
testing. If these criteria are met, we will undertake an analysis to determine whether a
goodwill impairment has occurred, which could have a material effect on our consolidated
financial position and results of operations. The evaluation of asset impairment may require
us to make assumptions about future cash flows and revenues. These assumptions require
significant judgment and actual results may differ from assumed or estimated amounts. If
these estimates and assumptions change, we may be required to recognize impairment losses in
the future.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
We recognize revenue in accordance with authoritative guidance issued by FASB related to revenue
recognition.
Revenue recognized for product sales was 95.5%, 96.7% and 97.0% in fiscal 2011, 2010 and 2009,
respectively. We recognize product revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists,
delivery has occurred, the sales price is fixed or determinable, collectability is reasonably
assured and there are no post-delivery obligations, other than warranty. Under these criteria,
product revenue generally is recognized upon shipment of product to customers, including Direct
(end-user) / OEMs and distributors. Sales to authorized domestic distributors and Direct / OEMs
are made with certain rights of return and price adjustment provisions. Estimated reserves for
future returns and pricing adjustments are established by us based on an analysis of historical
patterns of returns and price adjustments as well as an analysis of authorized returns compared to
received returns, current on-hand inventory at distributors, and distribution sales for the current
period. Estimated reserves for future returns and price adjustments are charged against revenues
in the same period as the corresponding sales are recorded.
Our
non-product revenue represented 4.5%, 3.3% and 3.0% of net sales in fiscal 2011, 2010 and 2009,
respectively. The majority of the non-product revenue was from professional and engineering
services and represented 4.2%, 2.9% and 2.7% of net sales in fiscal 2011, 2010 and 2009,
respectively. We also had revenue from cloud-based services, post-contract customer support, fees
associated with technical support, training, royalties and the sale of software licenses. Our
software development tools and development boards often include multiple elements, including
hardware, software licenses, post-contract customer support, limited training and basic hardware
design review. Our customers purchase these products and services during their product development
process in which they use the tools to build network connectivity into the devices they are
manufacturing. Revenue for professional and engineering services and training is recognized upon
performance. Revenue from software licenses is recognized when earned. Revenues from contracts
with multiple element arrangements are recognized as each element is earned based on the relative
fair value of each element provided the delivered elements have value to customers on a standalone
basis. Amounts allocated to each element are based on its vendor specific objective evidence, such
as the sales price for the product or service when it is sold separately. Revenue from cloud-based
services is earned in two ways: a) web-based management fees are considered to be earned on a
monthly basis consistent with a monthly contractual commitment, and b) transaction fees that are
billed to the customer at the larger of the minimum price or the number of transactions times the
stated fee and are considered earned as the transactions occur.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
Research and development costs are expensed when incurred. Research and development costs include
compensation, allocation of corporate costs, depreciation, utilities, professional services and
prototypes. Software development costs are expensed as incurred until the point that technological
feasibility and proven marketability of the product are established. To date, the time period
between the establishment of technological feasibility and completion of software development has
been short, and no significant development costs have been incurred during that period.
Accordingly, we have not capitalized any software development costs to date.
INCOME TAXES
Deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of differences
between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each year
end based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the
differences are expected to affect taxable income. Income tax expense is equal to the tax payable
for the period and the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities and also
changes in income tax reserves.
NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE
Basic net income per common share is calculated based on the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per common share is computed by dividing
net income by the weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding during
the period. Our only potentially dilutive common shares are those that result from dilutive common
stock options and shares purchased through the employee stock purchase plan.
The following table is a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators in the net income per
common share calculations (in thousands, except per common share data):
We use the treasury stock method to calculate the weighted-average shares used in the diluted
earnings per share computation. Under the treasury stock method, the proceeds from exercise of an
option, the amount of compensation cost, if any, for future service that we have not yet
recognized, and the amount of estimated tax
benefits that would be recorded in paid-in capital, if any, when the option is exercised are
assumed to be used to repurchase shares in the current period.
Stock options to purchase 1,831,713, 2,493,261 and 3,109,829 common shares at September 30, 2011,
2010 and 2009, respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per common
share because the options’ exercise prices were greater than the average market price of common
shares and, therefore, their effect would be antidilutive.
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
Stock-based compensation expense represents the cost of employee services received in exchange
for an award of equity instruments based on the grant date fair value of the award. This cost
must be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide the service
(usually the vesting period).
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION
Financial position and results of operations of our international subsidiaries are measured using
local currencies as the functional currency, except for our Singapore location which uses the U.S.
Dollar as its local currency. Assets and liabilities of these operations are translated at the
exchange rates in effect at the end of each reporting period. Statements of operations accounts
are translated at the weighted average rates of exchange prevailing during each reporting period.
Translation adjustments arising from the use of differing currency exchange rates from period to
period are included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in stockholders’ equity.
Gains and losses on foreign currency exchange transactions, as well as translation gains or losses
on transactions denominated in currencies other than an entity’s functional currency are reflected
in the statement of operations. Net transaction gains and losses are recorded to other income
(expense) and amounted to expense of $0.7 million in fiscal 2011 and income of $0.3 million and
$0.1 million for fiscal 2010 and 2009, respectively. We have not implemented a formal hedging
strategy, although we employ natural hedging of assets and liabilities denominated in foreign
currencies to reduce our foreign currency risk.
USE OF ESTIMATES AND RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (LOSS)
Our comprehensive income (loss) is comprised of net income, foreign currency translation
adjustments and unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale marketable securities, which are
charged or credited to the accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) account in stockholders’
equity.
RECENT ACCOUNTING DEVELOPMENTS
In September 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards
Update No. 2011-08, “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) Testing Goodwill for Impairment”.
This guidance provides an update on how an entity tests goodwill for impairment. This revised
guidance allows companies an option to make a qualitative evaluation about the likelihood of
goodwill impairment. Under the revised guidance, a company is permitted to first assess
qualitative factors to determine whether goodwill impairment exists prior to performing analyses
comparing the fair value of a reporting unit to its carrying amount. If, based on the qualitative
assessment, a company concludes it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting
unit exceeds its carrying value, quantitative testing for impairment is not necessary. This
guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after
December 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted. We have elected to early adopt this update to be
effective for our fiscal year beginning October 1, 2011 and we do not expect that the adoption of
this update will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In June 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05, “Comprehensive Income (Topic
220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income”. This guidance eliminates the option to report other
comprehensive income and its components in the consolidated statement of stockholders’ equity.
Rather it requires that all non-owner changes in stockholders’ equity be presented in either a
single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements.
This guidance also requires us to present on the face of the financial statements any
reclassification adjustments for items that are reclassified from other comprehensive income to net
income. The guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years,
beginning after December 15, 2011. We will adopt this guidance beginning with our fiscal quarter
ending December 31, 2012. The adoption of this guidance will have no effect on our consolidated
financial position or results of operations, as it will only impact how certain information related
to other comprehensive income is presented in our consolidated financial statements.
In May 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-04, “Fair Value Measurements
(Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in
U.S. GAAP and IFRSs”. This guidance changes the wording used to describe many of the requirements
in U.S. GAAP for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements
to ensure consistency between U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”).
This guidance is to be applied prospectively and is effective during interim and annual periods
beginning after December 15, 2011. We will adopt this guidance beginning with our fiscal quarter
ending March 31, 2012. We do not expect this guidance to have a material impact on our
consolidated financial statements.

2. ACQUISITIONS
MobiApps Holdings Private Limited
On June 8, 2009, we acquired substantially all the assets of MobiApps Holdings Private Limited
(“MobiApps”), a developer of machine-to-machine (“M2M”) communications technology focusing on
satellite, cellular, and hybrid satellite/cellular solutions. MobiApps has locations in India,
Singapore and in the U.S. Pursuant to the terms of the asset purchase agreements, we acquired the
U.S. assets located in Herndon, Virginia. In addition, we established Digi Wireless Singapore Pte.
Ltd. and Digi m2m Solutions India Private Limited, which acquired the assets of MobiApps’ affiliate
companies, located in Singapore and India, respectively. The acquisition was a cash transaction
for $3.0 million. At September 30, 2010, it was determined that certain performance milestones
were not achieved; therefore the contingent payment of $0.5 million was not payable.
We have determined that the MobiApps acquisition is not material to our consolidated results of
operations or financial position. Therefore, pro forma financial information is not presented.
Spectrum Design Solutions, Inc.
On July 23, 2008, we acquired Spectrum Design Solutions, Inc. (“Spectrum”), which is a wholly owned
subsidiary of Digi International Inc. Prior to the acquisition, Spectrum was a privately held
Minneapolis-based corporation and performed wireless design services. The acquisition was a cash
merger for $10.0 million of which $4.0 million was paid on the acquisition date, $3.0 million was
paid in January 2010, and the remaining $3.0 million was paid in July 2011.
We determined that the Spectrum acquisition was not material to our consolidated results of
operations or financial condition. Therefore, pro forma financial information is not presented.

6. MARKETABLE SECURITIES
Our marketable securities consist of certificates of deposit, commercial paper, corporate bonds and
government municipal bonds.
We analyze our available-for-sale marketable securities for impairment on an ongoing basis. We
consider factors such as the length of time and extent to which the securities have been in an
unrealized loss position and the trend of any unrealized losses. We also consider whether an
unrealized loss is a temporary loss or an other-than-temporary loss such as: (a) whether we have
the intent to sell the security, (b) whether it is more likely than not that we will be required to
sell the security before its anticipated recovery, or (c) permanent impairment due to bankruptcy or
insolvency.
In order to estimate the fair value for each security in our investment portfolio, where available,
we obtain quoted market prices and trading activity for each security. We also review the
financial solvency of each security issuer and obtain other relevant information from our
investment advisor. As of September 30, 2011, 54 of our securities were trading below our
amortized cost basis. We determined each decline in value to be temporary based upon the above
described factors. We expect to realize the fair value of these securities, plus accrued interest,
either at the time of maturity or when the security is sold. All of our current holdings are
classified as available-for-sale marketable securities and are recorded at fair value on our
consolidated balance sheet with the unrealized gains and losses recorded in accumulated other
comprehensive loss.
Our marketable securities at September 30, 2011 were comprised of the following (in thousands):

| FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS |
7. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Fair value is defined as the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a
liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the measurement date. This
standard also establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value. This standard
maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring
that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs market
participants would use in valuing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from
independent sources. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect our assumptions about the factors
market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability based upon the best information
available in the circumstances. The categorization of financial assets and liabilities within the
valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value
measurement.
The hierarchy is broken down into the following three levels:
Fair value is applied to financial assets such as our marketable securities, which are classified
and accounted for as available-for-sale. These items are stated at fair value at each reporting
period using the above guidance.
The following tables provide information by level for financial assets that are measured at fair
value on a recurring basis (in thousands):
Cash equivalents are measured at fair value using quoted market prices in active markets for
identical assets. We value our Level 2 assets using inputs that are based on market indices of
similar assets within an active market. There were no transfers in to or out of our Level 2
financial assets during the twelve months ended September 30, 2011.
We have no financial assets valued with Level 3 inputs as of September 30, 2011 nor have we
purchased or sold any Level 3 financial assets during the twelve months ended September 30, 2011.
The use of different assumptions, applying different judgment to matters that are inherently
subjective and changes in future market conditions could result in different estimates of fair
value of our securities, currently and in the future. If market conditions deteriorate, we may
incur impairment charges for securities in our investment portfolio.

| PRODUCT WARRANTY OBLIGATION |
8. PRODUCT WARRANTY OBLIGATION
In general, we warrant our products to be free from defects in material and workmanship under
normal use and service. The warranty periods range from one to five years from the date of
receipt. We have the option to repair or replace products we deem defective with regard to
material or workmanship. Estimated warranty costs are accrued in the period that the related
revenue is recognized based upon an estimated average per unit repair or replacement cost applied
to the estimated number of units under warranty. These estimates are based upon historical
warranty incidents and are evaluated on an ongoing basis to ensure the adequacy of the warranty
accrual. The following table summarizes the activity associated with the product warranty accrual
for the years ended September 30, 2011, 2010 and 2009 (in thousands):
We are not responsible and do not warrant that customer software versions created by original
equipment manufacturer (OEM) customers based upon our software source code will function in a
particular way, conform
to any specifications, or are fit for any particular purpose and we do not indemnify these
customers from any third-party liability as it relates to or arises from any customization or
modifications made by the OEM customer.

| RESTRUCTURING |
9. RESTRUCTURING
2011 Restructuring
On July 21, 2011, we announced a restructuring of our manufacturing operations in Breisach,
Germany. The restructuring reduced our manufacturing footprint by consolidating prototype and
production functions and centralizing outsourced production control in our Eden Prairie, Minnesota
production facility. The consolidation was driven by our strategy of driving efficiency
improvements and enhancing customer service globally through more centralized operations. We will
continue to maintain sales and research and development activities at the leased facility in
Breisach, Germany. As a result of these initiatives, we expect the total charge to be $0.6 million
on a pre-tax basis, which consists of $0.5 million for employee termination costs for 25 employees
and $0.1 million for asset write-downs. We recorded a charge of $0.2 million in the fourth quarter
of fiscal 2011, and expect to record charges of $0.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2012
and $0.1 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2012. The payments are expected to be completed
in the second quarter of fiscal 2012. We expect to cease manufacturing in Breisach by the end of
December 2011 and the majority of the manufacturing positions will be vacated by the end of
December 2011.
A summary of the restructuring charges and other activity within the restructuring accrual is
listed below (in thousands):
2009 Restructuring
On April 23, 2009, we announced a business restructuring to increase our focus on wireless products
and solutions that include hardware, software and services. The restructuring included the closing
of an engineering facility in Long Beach, California, and the relocation and consolidation of the
manufacturing facility in Davis, California to our Minnetonka, Minnesota headquarters. We paid a
lease cancellation fee for one of the leased facilities in Davis and had vacated the facility as of
the end of fiscal 2009. We continue to maintain non-manufacturing activities at the remaining
leased facility in Davis, California. As a result of these initiatives, during the third quarter
of fiscal 2009 we recorded a $2.0 million charge, which consisted of $1.8 million for employee
termination costs for 86 positions and $0.2 million for contract termination fees and other
relocation costs.
All of the 86 positions were vacated in fiscal 2009. The employee termination costs included
severance and the associated costs of continued medical benefits and outplacement services. The
other restructuring expenses included contract termination fees for non-renewal of lease terms
relating to one of the facilities in Davis, California and relocation expenses for employees.
9. RESTRUCTURING (RESTRUCTURING)
A summary of the restructuring charges and other activity within the restructuring accrual is
listed below (in thousands):
During fiscal 2010, we recorded an additional $0.1 million for an additional six months
of continued medical benefits as a result of new healthcare legislation passed in December
2009 related to the aforementioned restructuring. Also during fiscal 2010 we reversed $0.5
million of the restructuring accrual since costs associated with continued medical benefits
and relocation were lower than expected. During fiscal 2011, we paid a small amount of
employee termination costs and reversed the remaining restructuring accrual.

| INCOME TAXES |
10. INCOME TAXES
The components of income before income taxes are as follows (in thousands):
The components of the income tax provision are as follows (in thousands):
The net deferred tax asset at September 30 consists of the following (in thousands):
As of September 30, 2011, we have tax credit carryforwards in a foreign jurisdiction of $0.2
million, the majority of which will expire in 2015.
We have concluded that it is more likely than not that our deferred tax assets will be realized
based on future projected taxable income and the anticipated future reversal of deferred tax
liabilities. The amount of the deferred tax assets actually realized, however, could vary if there
are differences in the timing or amount of future reversals of existing deferred tax liabilities or
changes in the amounts of future taxable income. If our future taxable income projections are not
realized, a valuation allowance may be required, and would be reflected as income tax expense at
the time that any such change in future taxable income is determined. Our valuation allowance as
of September 30, 2011 and 2010 was $0.4 million and $0.1 million, respectively. During the fourth
quarter of fiscal 2011, we recorded an additional valuation allowance of $0.3 million for our India
and Singapore subsidiaries’ net operating losses, based on a lack of historical earnings and an
uncertainty about future taxable income.
The reconciliation of the statutory federal income tax rate to our effective income tax rate for
the years ended September 30 is as follows:
All of our unrecognized tax benefits are classified as a long-term liability as we do not expect
significant payments or receipts to occur over the next 12 months. A reconciliation of the
beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows (in thousands):
The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits that if recognized would affect the effective
tax rate is $2.0 million.
We recognize interest and penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. During
fiscal years 2011 and 2010 we recorded an immaterial benefit and in fiscal year 2009 we recorded an
immaterial expense for interest and penalties related to income tax matters in the provision for
income taxes. As of both September 30, 2011 and 2010 we have accrued interest and penalties
related to unrecognized tax benefits of $0.6 million included in long-term income taxes payable on
our consolidated balance sheet.
We estimate that it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will
significantly decrease over the next 12 months due to the lapse of the applicable foreign statute
of limitations. We estimate the range of this change to be between $0.2 million and $0.4 million
in taxes, penalties and interest.
During fiscal 2011, we recorded a tax benefit of $0.7 million primarily related to the release of
income tax reserves due to the expiration of the statutes of limitations from various
jurisdictions, primarily foreign. The enactment of the Tax Relief, Unemployment Insurance
Reauthorization, and Job Creation Act of 2010 provided for the extension of the research and
development tax credit that allowed us to record a benefit for tax credits earned during the last
three quarters of fiscal 2010 in the first quarter of fiscal 2011. The aforementioned income tax
benefits resulting from the reversal of income tax reserves and other discrete tax benefits reduced
our effective tax rate by 4 percentage points in fiscal 2011.
During fiscal 2010, we reversed $2.3 million in income tax reserves associated primarily with the
closing of prior tax years through statute expiration and the conclusion of a federal tax audit.
While the statutes of limitations have not expired, U.S. federal income tax returns for the periods
ended September 30, 2007 and September 30, 2008 have been audited by and settled with the Internal
Revenue Service. The aforementioned income tax benefits resulting from the reversal of income tax
reserves and other discrete tax benefits reduced the effective tax rate by 22 percentage points in
fiscal 2010.
During fiscal 2009, we reversed $0.6 million in income tax reserves primarily associated with the
statutory closing of a prior U.S. federal and state tax year and settlement of prior liabilities
under amnesty programs. We recorded an additional current discrete tax benefit of $0.5 million
resulting from the enactment on October 3, 2008 of the retroactive extension of the research and
development tax credit for activity from January 1, 2008 to September 30, 2008. We also recorded
adjustments to actual for items reported on the tax returns filed for fiscal 2007 and 2008. The
aforementioned income tax benefits resulting from the reversal of income tax reserves and other
discrete tax benefits reduced the effective tax rate by 27 percentage points in fiscal 2009.
We operate in multiple tax jurisdictions both in the U.S. and outside of the U.S. Accordingly, we
must determine the appropriate allocation of income to each of these jurisdictions. This
determination requires us to make several estimates and assumptions. Tax audits associated with
the allocation of this income, and other complex issues, may require an extended period of time to
resolve and may result in adjustments to our income tax balances in those years that are material
to our consolidated financial position and results of operations. We are no longer subject to
income tax examination for taxable years prior to fiscal 2009 and 2007 in the case of U.S. federal
and non-U.S. income tax authorities, respectively, and for tax years generally before fiscal 2007,
in the case of state taxing authorities, consisting primarily of Minnesota and California.
At September 30, 2011, we have approximately $11.9 million of accumulated undistributed earnings of
controlled foreign subsidiaries that are considered to be reinvested indefinitely as of such date
pursuant to authoritative guidance issued by FASB related to undistributed earnings of subsidiaries
and corporate joint ventures. Accordingly, no deferred tax has been provided on such earnings. If
the applicable earnings were remitted to us, the earnings would be taxed at the U.S. federal tax
rate.

| STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION |
11. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
Stock-based awards are granted under the terms of the 2000 Omnibus Stock Plan as amended and
restated as of December 4, 2009 (the Omnibus Plan), as well as our Stock Option Plan as amended and
restated as of November 27, 2006 (the Stock Option Plan) and Non-Officer Stock Option Plan as
amended and restated as of November 27, 2006 (the Non-Officer Plan), both of which expired during
the first quarter of fiscal 2007 (the Plans). Additional awards cannot be made under the Stock
Option Plan or the Non-Officer Plan. The authority to grant options under the Omnibus Plan and set
other terms and conditions rests with the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors.
The Stock Option Plan and the Non-Officer Plan include non-statutory stock options (NSOs) and the
Stock Option Plan also includes incentive stock options (ISOs) to employees and others who provide
services to us, including consultants, advisers and directors. Options granted under these plans
generally vest over a four year service period and will expire if unexercised after ten years from
the date of grant. Share awards vest upon continued employment. The exercise price for ISOs and
non-employee director options granted under the Stock Option Plan was set at the fair market value
of our common stock based on the closing price on the date of grant. The exercise price for NSOs
granted under the Stock Option Plan or the Non-Officer Plan was set by the Compensation Committee
of the Board of Directors and was set to the exercise price based on the closing price on the date
of grant.
The Omnibus Plan authorizes the issuance of up to 5,750,000 common shares in connection with awards
of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, performance units or stock awards.
Eligible participants include our employees, non-employee directors, consultants and advisors.
Awards may be granted under the Omnibus Plan until December 4, 2019 as an authorization to issue an
additional 2,500,000 common shares was ratified on January 25, 2010 at the Annual Meeting of
Stockholders. Options under the Omnibus Plan can be granted as either ISOs or NSOs. The exercise
price shall be determined by our Compensation Committee but shall not be less than the fair market
value of our common stock based on the closing price on the date of grant.
We recorded cash received from the exercise of stock options of $2.9 million, $1.7 million and $0.4
million during fiscal years 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The excess tax benefits from
stock-based compensation were $0.8 million during fiscal 2011 and immaterial during fiscal years
2010 and 2009. Upon exercise, we issue new shares of stock. The Plans have provisions allowing
employees to elect to pay their withholding obligation through share reduction. No employees
elected to pay income tax withholding obligations through share reduction during fiscal years 2011,
2010 or 2009.
Also, we sponsor an Employee Stock Purchase Plan as amended and restated as of December 4, 2009 and
November 27, 2006 (the Purchase Plan), covering all domestic employees with at least 90 days of
continuous service and who are customarily employed at least 20 hours per week. The Purchase Plan
allows eligible participants the right to purchase common stock on a quarterly basis at the lower
of 85% of the market price at the beginning or end of each three-month offering period. The
Purchase Plan was ratified on January 25, 2010 at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders to increase
the number of shares reserved for future purchases to the Purchase Plan by 250,000 shares bringing
the total number of shares to 2,000,000 shares of our Common Stock that may be purchased under the
plan. Employee contributions to the Purchase Plan were $1.0 million in the fiscal year ending
2011, $0.9 million in fiscal 2010 and $1.0 million in the fiscal year ended 2009. Pursuant to the
Purchase Plan, 112,285, 124,087, and 145,316 common shares were issued to employees during the
fiscal years ended 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Shares are issued under the Purchase Plan
from treasury stock. As of September 30, 2011, 315,157 common shares were available for future
issuances under the Purchase Plan.
Stock-based compensation expense is included in the consolidated results of operations as follows
(in thousands):
Stock-based compensation cost capitalized as part of inventory was immaterial as of September
30, 2011, 2010 and 2009.
A summary of options and common shares reserved for grant under the Plans and Assumed Plans are as
follows (in thousands, except per common share amounts):
The intrinsic value of an option is the amount by which the fair value of the underlying stock
exceeds its exercise price. The total intrinsic value of all options exercised during each of the
twelve months ended September 30, 2011, 2010 and 2009 was $2.4 million, $0.6 million and $0.2
million, respectively.
The table below shows the weighted average fair value, which was determined based upon the fair
value of each option on the grant date utilizing the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and the
related assumptions:
The fair value of each option award granted during the periods presented was estimated using
the Black-Scholes option valuation model that uses the assumptions noted in the table above.
Expected volatilities are based on the historical volatility of our stock. We use historical data
to estimate option exercise and employee termination information within the valuation model;
separate groups of grantees that have similar historical exercise behaviors are considered
separately for valuation purposes. The expected term of options granted is derived from the
vesting period and historical information and represents the period of time that options granted
are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free rate used is the zero-coupon U.S. Treasury bond rate
in effect at the time of the grant whose maturity equals the expected term of the option.
A summary of our non-vested options as of September 30, 2011 and changes during the twelve months
then ended is presented below (in thousands, except per common share amounts):
We use historical data to estimate pre-vesting forfeiture rates. The pre-vesting forfeiture
rate used in fiscal 2011 was 2.0%. As of September 30, 2011 the total unrecognized compensation
cost related to non-vested stock-based compensation arrangements, net of expected forfeitures, was
$5.8 million and the related weighted average period over which it is expected to be recognized is
approximately 2.8 years.
At September 30, 2011, the weighted average exercise price and remaining life of the stock options
are as follows (in thousands, except remaining life and exercise price):
The total fair value of shares vested was $3.7 million in fiscal 2011, $2.9 million in fiscal
2010 and $3.2 million in fiscal 2009.

15. COMMITMENTS
We have entered into various operating lease agreements for office facilities and equipment, the
last of which expires in fiscal 2017. The office facility leases generally require us to pay a
pro-rata share of the lessor’s operating expenses. Certain operating leases contain escalation
clauses and are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.
The following schedule reflects future minimum rental commitments under noncancelable operating
leases:
The following schedule shows the composition of total rental expense for all operating leases

Initial Public Offering Securities Litigation
On April 19, 2002, a consolidated amended class action complaint was filed in the United States
District Court for the Southern District of New York asserting claims relating to the initial
public offering (“IPO”) of our subsidiary NetSilicon, Inc. and approximately 300 other public
companies. We acquired NetSilicon on February 13, 2002. The complaint names us as a defendant
along with NetSilicon, certain of its officers and certain underwriters involved in NetSilicon’s
IPO, among numerous others, and asserts, among other things, that NetSilicon’s IPO prospectus and
registration statement violated federal securities laws because they contained material
misrepresentations and/or omissions regarding the conduct of NetSilicon’s IPO underwriters in
allocating shares in NetSilicon’s IPO to the underwriters’ customers. We believe that the claims
against the NetSilicon defendants are without merit and have defended the litigation vigorously.
Pursuant to a stipulation between the parties, the two named officers were dismissed from the
lawsuit, without prejudice, on October 9, 2002.
As previously disclosed, the parties advised the District Court on February 25, 2009 that they had
reached an agreement-in-principle to settle the litigation in its entirety. A stipulation of
settlement was filed with the District Court on April 2, 2009. On June 9, 2009, the District Court
preliminarily approved the proposed global settlement. Notice was provided to the class, and a
settlement fairness hearing, at which members of the class had an opportunity to object to the
proposed settlement, was held on September 10, 2009. On October 6, 2009, the District Court issued
an order granting final approval to the settlement. Ten appeals initially were filed objecting to
the definition of the settlement class and fairness of the settlement. Five of those appeals were
dismissed with prejudice on October 6, 2010. On May 17, 2011, the Court of Appeals dismissed four
of the remaining appeals and remanded the final appeal to the District Court to determine whether
the appellant has standing to object to the settlement. On August 25, 2011, the District Court
ruled that the last remaining objector lacks standing to object to the settlement. That objector
has appealed that ruling to the Court of Appeals, and the plaintiffs have moved to dismiss that
appeal.
Under the settlement, our insurers are to pay the full amount of settlement share allocated to us,
and we would bear no financial liability beyond our deductible of $250,000 per claim. While there
can be no guarantee as to the ultimate outcome of this pending lawsuit, we expect that our
liability insurance will be adequate to cover any potential unfavorable outcome, less the
applicable deductible per claim. As of September 30, 2011, we have an accrued liability for the
anticipated settlement of $300,000, which we believe is adequate and reflects the amount of loss
that is probable, and a receivable related to the insurance proceeds of $50,000. This $50,000
represents the anticipated settlement of $300,000 less our $250,000 deductible. In the event we
should have losses that exceed the limits of the liability insurance, the losses could have a
material adverse effect on our business and our consolidated results of operations or financial
condition.
Patent Infringement Lawsuits
On March 16, 2011, MOSAID Technologies Incorporated filed a complaint naming us as defendants in
federal court in the Eastern District of Texas. The complaint included allegations against us and
32 other companies pertaining to the infringement of six patents by products compliant with various
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers standards for implementing wireless local area
network computer communications in certain frequency bands. On September 30, 2011 we reached a
settlement involving a royalty-bearing license agreement for future sales of licensed products sold
during the term of the agreement. We do not expect this license agreement to have a material
impact on our consolidated financial statements.
On January 18, 2011, Advanced Processor Technologies LLC filed a complaint naming us as a
defendant in federal court in the Eastern District of Texas. The complaint included
allegations against us and eight other companies pertaining to the infringement of two patents
by products containing data processors with
memory management units. On October 17, 2011, we settled the lawsuit for $0.2 million which
was recorded during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011 (see Note 18 to our consolidated
financial statements).
On May 11, 2010, SIPCO, LLC filed a complaint naming us as a defendant in federal court in the
Eastern District of Texas. This claim subsequently has been moved to the Northern District of
Georgia. The complaint included allegations against us and five other companies pertaining to the
infringement of SIPCO’s patents by wireless mesh networking and multi-port networking products.
The complaint seeks monetary and non-monetary relief. We cannot predict the outcome of these
matters or estimate a range of loss at this time or whether it will have a materially adverse
impact on our business prospects and our consolidated financial condition, results of operations or
cash flow.
In addition to the matters discussed above, in the normal course of business, we are subject to
various claims and litigation, including patent infringement and intellectual property claims. Our
management expects that these various claims and litigation will not have a material adverse effect
on our consolidated results of operations or financial condition.

On October 17, 2011, we settled the lawsuit with Advanced Processor Technologies LLC, who filed a
patent infringement lawsuit against us in federal court in the Eastern District of Texas on January
18, 2011. The lawsuit included allegations against Digi and eight other companies pertaining to
the infringement of two patents by products containing data processors with memory management
units. The settlement amounted to $0.2 million which was recorded during the fourth quarter of
fiscal 2011 in general and administrative expense.
On October 26, 2011, we announced that the flooding in Thailand has impacted the operations of our
contract manufacturer located near Bangkok, Thailand. The main manufacturing facility is currently
closed, although efforts are underway to restore operations at the contract manufacturer’s back-up
facility, which has not currently been impacted by flooding and is also located in Bangkok. In
addition, we are working on reallocating production normally done in Thailand to our U.S.
manufacturing facility, as well as other contract manufacturers we currently use.
