NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(In thousands except share and per share amounts, or unless otherwise noted)

(unaudited)

1. The Company

Sensata Technologies B.V. (“Sensata” or the “Company”) is a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Sensata Technologies Intermediate Holding B.V. (“Sensata Intermediate Holding”). Sensata Intermediate Holding is aan ~~direct~~indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Sensata Technologies Holding ~~Cooperatief U.A. (“Cooperatief”). Cooperatief is owned 1% by Sensata Technologies Coop Holding B.V. and 99% owned by Sensata Technologies Holding~~ N.V. (“Parent”) and the Parent is a majority-owned subsidiary of Sensata Investment Company SCA (“Sensata Investment Co.”). The share capital of Sensata Investment Co. is 100% owned by entities associated with Bain Capital Partners, LLC (“Bain Capital”), a leading global private investment firm, co-investors (Bain Capital and co-investors are collectively referred to as the “Sponsors”) and certain members of the Company’s senior management.

On April 27, 2006 (inception), investment funds associated with the Sponsors completed the acquisition of the Sensors and Controls business (“S&C”) of Texas Instruments Incorporated (“TI”) for aggregate consideration of $3.0 billion in cash and transaction fees and expenses of $31.4 million (the “2006 Acquisition”). The 2006 Acquisition was financed by a cash investment from the Sponsors of approximately $985.0 million and the issuance of approximately $2.1 billion of indebtedness.

Sensata was incorporated by the Sponsors in the Netherlands in 2005 and conducts its business through subsidiary companies which operate business and product development centers in the United States (“U.S.”), the Netherlands and Japan; and manufacturing operations in Brazil, China, South Korea, Malaysia, Mexico, the Dominican Republic and the U.S. The Company organizes its operations into the sensors and controls businesses.

The sensors business is a manufacturer of pressure, force, and electromechanical sensor products used in subsystems of automobiles (e.g., engine, air-conditioning, and ride stabilization), heavy off-road vehicles, and in industrial products such as HVAC systems. These products improve operating performance, for example, by making an automobile’s heating and air-conditioning systems work more efficiently. These products also improve safety and performance, for example, by reducing vehicle emissions and improving gas mileage.

The controls business is a manufacturer of a variety of control products used in industrial, aerospace, military, commercial ~~and~~ and residential markets,. ~~including~~These products include motor and compressor protectors, circuit breakers, semiconductor burn-in test sockets, electronic HVAC controls, power inverters, precision switches and thermostats. These products help prevent damage from overheating and fires in a wide variety of applications, including commercial heating and air-conditioning systems, refrigerators, aircraft, automobiles, lighting and other industrial applications. The controls business also manufactures DC to AC power inverters, which enable the operation of electronic equipment when grid power is not available.

On March 16, 2010, the Parent completed the initial public offering (“IPO”) of its ordinary shares in which it sold 26,315,789 shares and its existing shareholders and certain employees sold 5,284,211 shares at a public offering price of $18.00 per share. The net proceeds of the IPO totaled $435.9 million after deducting ~~the~~ underwriters’ discounts and commissions and offering expenses, including $2.5 million of proceeds from the exercise of stock options. On April 12, 2010, the Parent announced that the underwriters of its IPO exercised their option to purchase an additional 4,740,000 ordinary shares from selling shareholders at a price of $18.00 per share, which included 353,465 shares obtained by certain selling shareholders through the exercise of options to purchase ordinary shares. The sale of the additional shares closed on April 14, 2010. The Parent did not receive any proceeds from the sale of the additional shares, other than the proceeds from the exercise of the aforementioned stock options which totaled $2.5 million.

All amounts presented, except share and per share amounts, are stated in thousands of U.S. dollars, unless otherwise indicated.

2. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include all of the information and note disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for complete ~~financial~~ financial statements. The accompanying financial information reflects all normal recurring adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the interim period results. The results of operations for the three and ~~six~~ nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all of its subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior periods to conform to current period presentation.

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior periods to conform to current period presentation.

3. New Accounting Standards

In October 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2009-13, Multiple-Delivery Revenue Arrangements (“ASU 2009-13”), which establishes the accounting and reporting guidance for arrangements including multiple deliverable revenue-generating activities, and provides amendments to the criteria for separating deliverables, and measuring and allocating arrangement consideration to one or more units of accounting. The amendments of ASU 2009-13 also establish a hierarchy for determining the selling price of a deliverable, and require significantly enhanced disclosures to provide information about a ~~vendors~~vendor’s multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements, including information about their nature and terms, significant deliverables, and the general timing of delivery. The amendments also require disclosure of information about the significant judgments made and changes to those judgments, and about how the application of the relative selling price method affects the timing or amount of revenue recognition. The amendments of ASU 2009-13 are effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in annual reporting periods beginning on or after June 15, 2010, or January 1, 2011 for the Company. Early application is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential effect, if any, the adoption of ASU 2009-13 will have on its financial position and results of operations.

The Company adopted the following accounting standards during 2010:

In February 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-09, Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements, (“ASU 2010-09”), which eliminates the requirement under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 855, Subsequent Events (“ASC 855”) for SEC registrants to disclose the date through which they have evaluated subsequent events in the financial statements. ASU 2010-09 was effective upon issuance, and the Company adopted its provisions as of the issuance of the Quarterly ~~report~~Report for the period ended March 31, 2010. The adoption of ASU 2010-09 was for disclosure purposes only and did not have any effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

guidance in ASC 820 required separate fair value disclosures for each major category of assets and liabilities. ASU 2010-06 also clarifies the requirement for entities to disclose information about both the valuation techniques and inputs used in estimating Level 2 and Level 3 fair value measurements. Except for the requirement to disclose information about purchases, sales, issuance and settlements in the reconciliation of recurring Level 3 measurements on a gross basis, all of the provisions of ASU 2010-06 were effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009. The Company adopted these provisions as of January 1, 2010. The requirement to separately disclose purchases, sales, issuances and settlements of recurring Level 3 measurements is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2010, or January 1, 2011 for the Company. The adoption of this portion of ASU 2010-06 will not have any effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In June 2009, the FASB issued guidance now codified within ASC Topic 810, Consolidation (“ASC 810”), which requires entities to perform an analysis to determine whether the enterprise’s variable interest or interests give it a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity. This analysis identifies the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity as one with the power to direct the activities of a variable interest entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and obligation to absorb losses of the entity that could potentially be significant to the variable interest. The guidance was effective as of the beginning of the annual reporting period commencing after November 15, 2009~~, with early adoption prohibited~~. The Company adopted these provisions as of January 1, 2010. The adoption of the guidance codified within ASC 810 did not have any effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

7. Restructuring Costs

The Company’s restructuring programs consist of the First Technology Automotive Plan, the Airpax Plan and the 2008 Plan. Each of these restructuring programs is described in more detail below.

First Technology Automotive Plan

In December 2006, the Company acquired First Technology Automotive and Special Products from Honeywell International Inc. (“First Technology Automotive Acquisition”). In January 2007, the Company announced plans (“First Technology Automotive Plan” or the “FTAS Plan”) to close the manufacturing facilities in Standish, Maine and Grand Blanc, Michigan, and to downsize the facility in Farnborough, United Kingdom. Manufacturing at the Maine, Michigan and United Kingdom sites was moved to the Dominican Republic and other sites. Restructuring liabilities related to these actions consist primarily of exit and related severance costs. The actions described above affected 143 employees and were completed in 2008. The Company anticipates remaining payments to be ~~paid~~made through 2014, due primarily to contractual lease-related obligations.

In connection with the First Technology Automotive Plan, the Company has incurred cumulative costs, excluding the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, of $8,~~932~~952, consisting of $4,287 in severance costs and $4,~~645~~665 in facility exit and other costs. These costs have been recognized in the Company’s segments in accordance with the degree of impact experienced by the segment. The remaining costs, not allocable to the Company’s reportable segments, have been shown within the “corporate and other” caption. Of the cumulative cost incurred, $3,~~314~~333 and $2,413 have been allocated to the sensors and controls segments, respectively, and $3,206 has been allocated to “corporate and other”.

The following tables outline the changes to the restructuring liabilities associated with the First Technology Automotive Plan, since December 31, 2009, by type of liability and segment:

The following tables outline the changes to the restructuring liabilities associated with the First Technology Automotive Plan since December 31, 2009, by type of liability and segment:

During the six months ended June 30, 2010, the Company revised its accrual related to severance by $63 and its accrual related to facility exit and other costs by $1,781. The reduction to the accrual for facility exit and other costs was primarily related to the execution of a sublease for the Farnborough, United Kingdom facility at terms more favorable to the Company than previously anticipated. The reduction to the accruals resulted in a reduction of goodwill totaling $1,616 for the portion of the accruals that had been established through purchase accounting and a reduction to restructuring expense of $228. The Company does not expect to incur additional costs in the future.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, the Company revised its accrual related to severance by $63 and its accrual related to facility exit and other costs by $1,761. The reduction to the accrual for facility exit and other costs was primarily related to the execution of a sublease for the Farnborough, United Kingdom facility at terms more favorable to the Company than previously anticipated during the three months ended June 30, 2010. The reduction to the accruals resulted in a reduction of goodwill totaling $1,616 for the portion of the accruals that had been established through purchase accounting and a reduction to restructuring expense of $208. The Company does not expect to incur additional costs in the future.

Airpax Plan

In July 2007, the Company acquired Airpax Holdings, Inc. (“Airpax Acquisition”). In 2007, the Company announced plans (“Airpax Plan”) to close the facility in Frederick, Maryland and to relocate certain manufacturing lines to existing Sensata and Airpax facilities in Cambridge, Maryland; Shanghai, China; and Mexico, and to terminate certain employees at the Cambridge, Maryland facility. In 2008, the Company announced plans to close the Airpax facility in Shanghai, China. Restructuring liabilities related to these actions consist primarily of exit and related severance costs. The actions described above affected 331 employees and were completed in 2009. The Company anticipates remaining payments to be made through ~~2010~~2011, due primarily to facility exit costs, tuition assistance and outplacement services.

In connection with the Airpax Plan, the Company has incurred cumulative costs, excluding the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, of $6,494, consisting of $5,073 in severance costs and $1,421 in facility exit and other costs. These costs have been recognized in the Company’s segments in accordance with the degree of impact experienced by the segment. The remaining costs, not allocable to the Company’s reportable segments, have been shown within the “corporate and other” caption. Of the total cost incurred, $5,026 has been allocated to the controls segment, and $1,468 has been allocated to “corporate and other”. The Company has not incurred additional costs related to this plan in the three or ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2010, and does not expect to incur additional costs in the future.

2008 Plan

During fiscal years 2009 and 2008, in response to global economic conditions, the Company announced various actions (“2008 Plan”) to reduce the workforce in several business centers and manufacturing facilities throughout the world and to move certain manufacturing operations to low-cost countries. During 2009 and 2008, the Company recognized charges totaling $41,334 primarily related to severance, pension curtailment, pension settlement and other related charges, and facility exit and other costs. During the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2010, the Company revised its accrual related to severance and facility exit and other costs. As a result, the Company recognized a net reduction to restructuring expense of $~~640~~673. The actions described above are expected to cost $40,~~780~~747, excluding the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. These actions affected 1,977 employees. The Company anticipates that these actions will be completed during ~~2010~~2011 and the remaining payments will be paid through 2014, due primarily to contractual obligations.

The change in goodwill during the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2010 ~~primarily~~ related primarily to a reduction in in the Company’s restructuring liabilities ~~related~~associated towith its obligations on the Farnborough, United Kingdom lease acquired in the First Technology Automotive Acquisition. The reduction was due to the execution of a sublease with more favorable terms than originally anticipated. See Note 7, “Restructuring Costs” for further detail.

The Company evaluates the recoverability of goodwill and other intangible assets in the fourth quarter of each fiscal year, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that goodwill or other intangible assets may be impaired. During the nine ~~six~~ months ended ~~June~~ September 30, 2010, no events or changes in circumstances occurred that would have triggered the need for an earlier impairment review.

The Parent granted 176,100 Tranche 1 options under the 2010 Equity Plan in the three months ended September 30, 2010 to certain employees of the Company. These options vest over a period of four years at 25% per year. There are no performance conditions related to these options. The grant date fair value per share of these options was $6.37.

Under the fair value recognition provisions of ASC 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”), the Company recognizes stock-based compensation net of estimated forfeitures and, therefore, only recognizes compensation cost for those shares expected to vest over the service period of the award. The Company has estimated its forfeitures based on historical experience. During the three months ended March 31, 2009, the Company revised its forfeiture rate from 5% to 11% based upon the actual rate of forfeitures by plan participants. As a result of this revision, the Company recorded a reduction to its non-cash compensation expense of $335 during the nine months ended September 30, 2009. There was no adjustment to the estimated forfeiture rate during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010. The remainder of the unrecognized compensation expense of $10,437 will be recognized on a straight-line basis over the remaining requisite service period, through 2014.

Tranche 2 and 3 Options: Tranche 2 and 3 options vest based on the passage of time (over 5 years with 40% vesting year 2, 60% vesting year 3, 80% vesting year 4 and 100% vesting year 5, similar to a majority of Tranche 1 awards) and the completion of a liquidity event that results in specified returns on the Sponsors’ investment. Prior to the Amendment to the Stock Option Plan during the three months ended September 30, 2009, the only difference between the terms of Tranche 2 and Tranche 3 awards was the amount of the required return on the Sponsors’ investment. As a result of the Amendment, all outstanding Tranche 3 awards required the same specified return on the equity Sponsor’s investment as Tranche 2 awards. The Company accounted for the Amendment as a modification under ASC 718, which resulted in $9,014 of incremental value.

Prior to the first quarter of 2010, the performance and market vesting conditions contained in the Tranche 2 and 3 awards were not considered probable of occurring based on guidance provided by ASC 805, Business Combinations, and no share-based compensation expense was recognized for these awards. These conditions became probable of occurring induring the three months ended March 31, 2010, and were satisfied upon the completion of the Parent’s IPO in March 2010. As a result, in during the three months ended March 31, 2010, the Company recorded a cumulative catch-up adjustment for previously unrecognized compensation expense associated with the Tranche 2 and 3 awards and the related modification totaling $18,876. The remainder of the unrecognized compensation expense of $21,~~230~~809 will be recognized on an accelerated basis over the remaining requisite service period, through 2013.

Advisory Agreement

In connection with the 2006 Acquisition, the Company entered into an advisory agreement with the Sponsors for ongoing consulting, management advisory and other services (the “Advisory Agreement”). In consideration for consulting and management advisory services, the Advisory Agreement required the Company to pay each Sponsor a quarterly advisory fee equal to the product of $1,000 times such Sponsors’ Fee Allocation Percentage as defined in the Advisory Agreement. This fee was recorded in selling, general and administrative expense as shown in the above table.

At the Sponsors’ option, the Advisory Agreement was terminated in March 2010, at which time the Company recognized a charge for a termination fee as required by the Advisory Agreement totaling $22,352, of which $22,185 was paid on the Company’s behalf by the Parent. This termination fee was recorded in ~~selling,~~SG&A ~~general and administrative~~ expense as shown in the above table.

Administrative Services Agreement

In 2009, the Parent entered into a fee for service arrangement with Sensata Investment Co. for ongoing consulting, management advisory and other services (the “Administrative Services Agreement”), effective January 1, 2008.

15. Commitments and Contingencies

Off-Balance Sheet Commitments

The Company executes contracts involving indemnifications standard in the relevant industry and indemnifications specific to acertain ~~transaction~~ transactions such as the sale of a business. These indemnifications might include claims relating to the following: environmental matters; intellectual property rights; governmental regulations and employment-related matters; customer, supplier and other commercial contractual relationships; and financial matters. Performance under these indemnities would generally be triggered by a breach of terms of the contract or by a third-party claim. Historically, the Company has had only minimal and infrequent losses associated with these indemnities. Consequently, any future liabilities brought about by these indemnities cannot reasonably be estimated or accrued.

In May 2009, Sensata Technologies, Inc., an indirect and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, negotiated a transition production agreement with Engineered Materials Solutions, LLC (“EMS”) to ensure the continuation of supply of certain materials. ~~Engineered~~EMS ~~Materials Solutions~~ is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Wickeder Westfalenstahl Gmbh. The Electrical Contact Systems, or “ECS,” business unit of ~~Engineered~~EMS ~~Materials Solutions~~ was the primary supplier to the Company for electrical contacts used in the manufacturing of certain of the Company’s controls products. The Company entered into the transition production agreement in order to support the ECS business unit, which was at risk of closing. The Company extended the transition production agreement with ~~Engineered~~EMS ~~Materials Solutions, LLC~~ on February 4, 2010, and it expired on May 31, 2010. The Company has transitioned to alternative suppliers for these materials. The letter of credit issued to the consignor under the silver consignment agreement was ~~extended~~cancelled toin ~~December 30,~~August 2010 ~~and the amount of the letter of credit was reduced from $7~~.~~0 million to $3.0 million.~~ The Company ~~anticipates~~settled ~~settling~~ the agreements with the consignor and ~~Engineered~~EMS ~~Materials Solutions, LLC~~ during the three months ended September 30, 2010. ~~The Company does not anticipate the settlement to be material. See the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 for further discussion of this matter and the related history.~~

Indemnifications Provided As Part of Contracts and Agreements

The Company is a party to the following types of agreements pursuant to which it may be obligated to indemnify the other party with respect to certain matters:

Sponsors: On the closing date of the 2006 Acquisition, the Company entered into customary indemnification agreements with the Sponsors pursuant to which the Company ~~will~~indemnifies ~~indemnify~~ the Sponsors against certain liabilities arising out of performance of a consulting agreement ~~with~~between the Company and each of the Sponsors and certain other claims and liabilities, including liabilities arising out of financing arrangements and securities offerings.

~~Officers~~21 and Directors: The Company’s corporate by-laws require that, except to the extent expressly prohibited by law, the Company must indemnify Sensata’s officers and directors against judgments, fines, penalties and amounts paid in settlement, including legal fees and all appeals incurred in connection with civil or

Officers and Directors: The Company’s corporate by-laws require that, except to the extent expressly prohibited by law, the Company must indemnify Sensata’s officers and directors against judgments, fines, penalties and amounts paid in settlement, including legal fees and all appeals incurred in connection with civil or criminal action or proceedings, as it relates to their services to Sensata and its subsidiaries. Although the by-laws provide no limit on the amount of indemnification, the Company may have recourse against its insurance carriers for certain payments made by the Company. However, certain indemnification payments may not be covered under the Company’s directors’ and officers’ insurance coverage.

In addition, the Company has a liability insurance policy which insures directors and officers against the cost of defense, settlement or payment of claims and judgments under some circumstances.

Intellectual Property and Product Liability Indemnification: The Company routinely sells products with a limited intellectual property and product liability indemnification included in the terms of sale. Historically, the Company has had only minimal and infrequent losses associated with these indemnities. Consequently, any future liabilities resulting from these indemnities cannot reasonably be estimated or accrued.

Product Warranty Liabilities

The Company’s standard terms of sale provide its customers with a warranty against faulty workmanship and the use of defective materials. These warranties exist for a period of eighteen months after the date the Company ships the product to a customer or for a period of twelve months after the customer resells the product, whichever comes first. The Company does not offer separately priced extended warranty or product maintenance contracts. The Company’s liability associated with this warranty is, at the Company’s option, to repair the product, replace the product or provide the customer with a credit. The Company also sells products to customers under negotiated agreements or where the Company has accepted the customer’s terms of purchase. In these instances, the Company may make additional warranties, for longer durations consistent with differing end-market practices, and where the Company’s liability is not limited. Finally, many sales take place in situations where commercial or civil codes, or other laws, would imply various warranties and restrict limitations on liability. In the event a warranty claim based on defective materials exists, the Company may be able to recover some of the cost of the claim from the vendor from whom the material was purchased. The Company’s ability to recover some of the costs will depend on the terms and conditions to which the Company agreed when the material was purchased. When a warranty claim is made, the only collateral available to the Company is the return of the inventory from the customer making the warranty claim. Historically, when customers make a warranty claim, the Company either replaces the product or provides the customer with a credit. The Company generally does not rework the returned product.

Historically, when customers make a warranty claim, the Company either replaces the product or provides the customer with a credit. The Company generally does not rework the returned product.

The Company’s policy is to accrue for warranty claims when a loss is both probable and estimable. This is accomplished by reserving for estimated sales returns and estimated costs to replace the product at the time the related revenue is recognized. Reserves for sales returns and liabilities for warranty claims are not material.

In some instances, customers may make claims, and in some cases file lawsuits, for costs they incurred or other damages. Any potentially material liabilities associated with these claims are discussed in this Note under the heading Legal Proceedings and Claims.

Environmental Remediation Liabilities

The Company’s operations and facilities are subject to U.S. and foreign laws and regulations governing the protection of the environment and the Company’s employees, including those governing air emissions, water discharges, the management and disposal of hazardous substances and wastes, and the cleanup of contaminated sites. The Company could incur substantial costs, including cleanup costs, fines or civil or criminal sanctions, or third-party property damage or personal injury claims, in the event of violations or liabilities under these laws and regulations, or non-compliance with the environmental permits required at the Company’s facilities. Potentially significant expenditures could be required in order to comply with environmental laws that may be adopted or imposed in the future. The Company is, however, not aware of any threatened or pending material environmental investigations, lawsuits or claims involving the Company or its operations.

In 2001, TI Brazil was notified by the State of São Paolo, Brazil, regarding its potential cleanup liability as a generator of wastes sent to the Aterro Mantovani disposal site, which operated near Campinas from 1972 to 1987. The site is a landfill contaminated with a variety of chemical materials, including petroleum products, allegedly disposed at the site. TI Brazil is one of over fifty companies notified of potential cleanup liability. There have been several lawsuits filed by third parties alleging personal injuries caused by exposure to drinking water contaminated by the disposal site. The Company’s subsidiary, Sensata Technologies Brazil, is the successor in interest to TI Brazil. However, in accordance with the terms of the acquisition agreement entered into in connection with the 2006 Acquisition, Texas Instruments retained these liabilities (subject to the limitations set forth in that agreement) and has agreed to indemnify the Company with regard to these excluded liabilities. Additionally, in 2008, lawsuits were filed against Sensata Technologies Brazil alleging personal injuries suffered by individuals who were exposed to drinking water allegedly contaminated by the Aterro disposal site. These matters are managed and controlled by TI. TI is defending these lawsuits, which are in early stages. Although Sensata Technologies Brazil cooperates with TI in this process, the Company does not anticipate incurring any non-reimbursable expenses related to the matters described above. Accordingly, no amounts have been accrued for these matters as of June 30, 2010.

Control Devices, Inc. (“CDI”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sensata Technologies, Inc., our principal U.S. operating subsidiary (“STI”), acquired through our acquisition of First Technology Automotive, holds a post-closure license, along with GTE Operations Support, Inc. (“GTE”), from the Maine Department of Environmental Protection with respect to a closed hazardous waste surface impoundment located on real property at a facility owned by CDI in Standish, Maine. The post-closure license obligates GTE to operate a pump and treatment process to reduce the levels of chlorinated solvents in the groundwater under the property. The post-closure license obligates CDI to maintain the property and provide access to GTE. The Company does not expect the costs to comply with the post-closure license to be material. As a related but separate matter, pursuant to the terms of an Environmental Agreement dated July 6, 1994, GTE retained liability and agreed to indemnify CDI for certain liabilities related to the soil and groundwater contamination from the surface impoundment and an out-of-service leach field at the Standish, Maine facility, and CDI and GTE have certain obligations related to the property and each other. The site is contaminated primarily with chlorinated solvents. The Company does not expect the remaining cost associated with addressing the soil and groundwater contamination to be material.

The Company is subject to compliance with laws and regulations controlling the export of goods and services. Certain of the Company’s products are subject to International Traffic in Arms Regulation (“ITAR”). These products represent an immaterial portion of the Company’s revenues and the Company has not exported an ITAR-controlled product. However, if in the future the Company decides to export ITAR-controlled products, such transactions would require an individual validated license from the U.S. State Department’s Directorate of Defense Trade Controls. The State Department makes licensing decisions based on type of product, destination of end use, end user and considers national security and foreign policy. The length of time involved in the licensing process varies, but is currently less than three weeks. The license processing time could result in delays in the shipping of products. These laws and regulations are subject to change, and any such change may require the Company to change technology or incur expenditures to comply with such laws and regulations.

Legal Proceedings

The Company accounts for litigation and claims losses in accordance with ASC Topic 450, Contingencies (“ASC 450”). Loss contingencies are recorded when probable and estimable at the Company’s best estimate of a loss or, when a best estimate cannot be made, at the low end of the Company’s estimate of the range of possible outcomes for the contingency. The Company has recorded litigation reserves of approximately $6.8 million as of June 30, 2010 for various litigation and claims, including the matters described in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 and as updated below.

Legal Proceedings and Claims

The Company accounts for litigation and claims losses in accordance with ASC Topic 450, Contingencies (“ASC 450”). Loss contingencies are recorded when probable and estimable, at the Company’s best estimate of a loss, or when a best estimate cannot be made, at the low end of the Company’s estimate of the range of possible outcomes for the contingency. The Company has recorded litigation reserves of approximately $6.8 million as of September 30, 2010 for various litigation and claims, including the matters described in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009, and as updated below.

The Company is regularly involved in a number of claims and litigation matters in the ordinary course of business. Most of the Company’s litigation matters are third-party claims for property damage allegedly caused by the Company’s products, but some involve allegations of personal injury or wrongful death. See the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009, for historical details of such claims.

Ford Speed Control Deactivation Switch Litigation: The Company is involved in a number of litigation matters relating to a pressure switch that TI sold to Ford Motor Company (“Ford”) for several years until 2002, which was incorporated into a cruise control deactivation switch system. Between 1999 and 2009, Ford and related manufacturers issued nine different recalls in the US and China, due to concerns that in some circumstances this system and switch may cause fires. In 2001, TI received a demand from Ford for reimbursement of costs related to the first recall, and rejected that demand. Ford has not subsequently pursued TI or the Company for any demands related to these recalls.

The Company has been served with various lawsuits related to this matter in which plaintiffs have alleged wrongful death related to fires allegedly caused by the system and switch. During fiscal year 2008, the Company settled all then outstanding wrongful death cases related to these matters for amounts that did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations. On April 1, 2010, the Company and TI were served in a new lawsuit involving wrongful death claims, Romans v. Texas Instruments Inc. et al, Case # CVH 20100126, Madison County Court of Common Pleas, Ohio. The lawsuit alleges that a 2008 residential fire resulted in the deaths of three people and injuries to a fourth. A separate lawsuit, which arises from the same facts, Romans v. Ford Motor Company, Case #CVC20090074, Madison County Court of Common Pleas, Ohio, has been filed against Ford. On April 9, 2010, the plaintiffs filed a motion to consolidate the two lawsuits. The Company believes that these claims will ultimately be dismissed.

As of ~~June~~September 30, 2010, the Company was a defendant in 2423 third party lawsuits in which plaintiffs have alleged property damage and various personal injuries from the system and switch. A majority of these cases seek an unspecified amount of compensatory and exemplary damages. ~~The~~Where ~~range~~a of demand ~~where one~~ is specified the range is from $50 thousand to $3.0 million. Ford and TI are co-defendants in each of these lawsuits. The Company has recorded a $0.6 million reserve in its financial statements for potential losses in these cases.

Whirlpool Recall Litigation: The Company is involved in litigation relating to certain control products that TI sold between 2000 and 2004 to Whirlpool Corporation (“Whirlpool”). The control products were incorporated into the compressors of certain refrigerators in a number of Whirlpool brands. Whirlpool contends that the control products were defective because they allegedly fail at excessive rates, and have allegedly caused property damage, including fires.

On January 28, 2009, Whirlpool filed a lawsuit against TI and one of the Company’s subsidiaries asserting, among other things, contract claims as well as claims for breach of warranty, fraud, negligence, indemnification, and deceptive trade practices. The lawsuit seeks an unspecified amount of compensatory and exemplary damages. The Company and TI have answered the complaint and denied liability. In January 2009, TI elected to become the controlling party for this lawsuit and will manage and defend the litigation on behalf of both TI and the Company.

On June 11, 2010, Whirlpool filed a first amended complaint in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, Whirlpool Corp. et. al. v. Sensata Technologies, Inc. et. al., Docket No. 2009-L-001022. The amended complaint clarifies many of their contentions, and adds and subtracts certain causes of action. The court has scheduled a trial setting for October 2011 and the parties continue in the discovery process. As of ~~June~~ September 30, 2010, the Company has recorded a reserve of $5.9 million related to this matter.

Pursuant to the terms of the acquisition agreement entered into in connection with the 2006 Acquisition, and subject to the limitations set forth in that agreement, TI has agreed to indemnify the Company for certain claims and litigation, including the Whirlpool matter, to the extent that the aggregate amount of costs and/or damages from such claims exceeds $30.0 million (up to a cap of $300 million). As of ~~June~~September 30, 2010, the Company had incurred approximately $27.02 million of costs that it believes apply towards the indemnification.

~~The Company has also been involved in a related but separate proceeding with TI’s~~ ~~insurer, American Alternative Insurance.

During the three months ended June 30, 2010, TI informed the Company that they have reached a settlement with their insurer in this matter. As of ~~June~~ September 30, 2010, the Company has not recorded a reserve for this matter.

Pelonis Appliances: The Company is a co-defendant in a claim against Pelonis Appliances, Inc. resulting from a residential fire allegedly caused by a product sold by Pelonis Appliances, and which incorporates one of the Company’s products. On April 17, 2010, the court granted plaintiff’s notice of non-suit without prejudice. Pelonis and the Company have continued their pending cross claims for at least five months until January 2011 with the intention of dismissing those claims if plaintiffs do not refile their claims before the applicable statute of limitations runs. As of ~~June~~September 30, 2010, the Company has not recorded a reserve for this matter.

Huawei.: A Chinese telecommunications equipment customer, Huawei, informed the Company that it was planning to conduct a field replacement campaign for power supply products containing the Company’s circuit breakers. The customer has alleged defects in the Company’s products, which were sold through distributors to two power supply subcontractors. As of the end of the three months ended March 31, 2010, the Company estimated that a 100% field replacement campaign would cost approximately $6.0 million. Based on more recent discussions with the customer, the Company believes that the replacement campaign will involve a smaller percentage of systems with an estimated cost for the campaign of approximately $1.0 million. The Company is contesting the customer’s allegations but working with them to analyze the situation. The Company has included a reserve in its financial statements in the amount of $0.1 million as of ~~June~~September 30, 2010.

European automaker: A European automaker has alleged defects in certain of the Company’s pressure sensor products installed in its vehicles from June 2006 through April 2010. The customer brought this claim in June 2010 claiming costs to date of €2.5 million, and estimated future costs, together, totaling €11.7 million. The Company contests the customer’s allegations. As of ~~June~~September 30, 2010, the Company has not recorded a reserve for this claim.

Other Matters

An internal investigation has been conducted under the direction of the Audit Committee of the Parent’s Board of Directors to determine whether any laws, including the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (“FCPA”), may have been violated in connection with a certain business relationship entered into by one of the Parent’s and the Company’s operating subsidiaries involving business in China. The Parent believes the amount of payments and the business involved was immaterial. The Company discontinued the specific business relationship and its investigation has not identified any other suspect transactions. The Parent has contacted the United States Department of Justice and the Securities and Exchange Commission to begin the process of making a voluntary disclosure of the possible violations, the investigation, and the initial findings. The Parent will cooperate fully with their review. The FCPA (and related statutes and regulations) provides for potential monetary penalties, criminal and civil sanctions, and other remedies. The Parent is unable to estimate the potential penalties, if any, that might be assessed and, accordingly, no provision has been made in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

16. Fair Value Measures

The Company’s assets and liabilities recorded at fair value have been categorized based upon a fair value hierarchy in accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. The levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

•

Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.

•

Level 2 inputs utilize inputs, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.

•

Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, allowing for situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability.

Measured on a Recurring Basis

The following table presents information about the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, aggregated by the level in the fair value hierarchy within which those measurements fell.

The valuations of the derivatives intended to mitigate the Company’s interest rate risk (interest rate caps, collars and swaps) are determined with the assistance of a third party financial institution using widely accepted valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each instrument. This analysis utilizes observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves and interest rate volatility, and reflects the contractual terms of these instruments, including the period to maturity. Specific contractual terms utilized as inputs in determining fair value and a discussion of the nature of the risks being mitigated by these instruments are detailed in Note 17, “Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” under the caption “Interest Rate Risk”.

The Company incorporates credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both its own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements. In adjusting the fair value of its derivative contracts for the effect of nonperformance risk, the Company has considered the impact of netting and any applicable credit enhancements, such as collateral postings, thresholds, mutual puts, and guarantees.

Although the Company has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with its derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads, to appropriately reflect both its own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparties’ nonperformance risk in the fair value measurement. However, as of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 the Company has assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of its derivative positions and has determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation of its derivatives. As a result, the Company has determined that its derivative valuations in their entirety are classified in Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

As a result, the Company has determined that its derivative valuations in their entirety are classified in Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

Measured on a Non-Recurring Basis

The Company evaluates the recoverability of goodwill and other intangible assets in the fourth quarter of each fiscal year, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that goodwill or other intangible assets may be impaired. As of ~~June~~September 30, 2010, no such events or changes in circumstances occurred that would have triggered the need for an earlier impairment review.

In March 2009, the Company determined that goodwill and definite-lived intangible assets associated with its Interconnection reporting unit were impaired and recorded a charge totaling $19,867 in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. The balance of definite-lived intangible assets and goodwill associated with the Interconnection reporting unit as of March 31, 2009, as well as the impairment charges recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2009, were as follows:

The fair value measures in the table above were measured using significant unobservable inputs (level 3) using an income approach, as described in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.

Goodwill and definite-lived intangible assets are valued primarily using discounted cash flow models that incorporate assumptions for a reporting units’ short and long-term revenue growth rates, operating margins and discount rates, which represent the Company’s best estimates of current and forecasted market conditions, current cost structure, and the implied rate of return that management believes a market participant would require for an investment in a Company having similar risks and business characteristics to the reporting unit being assessed.

The fair values of the Company’s long-term obligations are determined by using a valuation model that discounts estimated future cash flows at the benchmark interest rate plus an estimated credit spread.

Cash and trade receivables are carried at their cost which approximates fair value because of their short-term nature.

17. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

As required by ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”), the Company records all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of derivatives depends on the intended use of the derivative, whether the Company has elected to designate a derivative in a hedging relationship and apply hedge accounting, and whether the hedging relationship has satisfied the criteria necessary to apply hedge accounting. Derivatives designated and qualifying as a hedge of the exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset, liability or firm commitment attributable to a particular risk, such as interest rate risk, are considered fair value hedges. Derivatives designated and qualifying as a hedge of the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows, or other types of forecasted transactions, are considered cash flow hedges. Derivatives may also be designated as hedges of the foreign currency exposure of a net investment in a foreign operation. Hedge accounting generally provides for the matching of the timing of gain or loss recognition on the hedging instrument with the recognition of the changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk in a fair value hedge or the earnings effect of the hedged forecasted transactions in a cash flow hedge. The Company may enter into derivative contracts that are intended to economically hedge certain of its risks, even though the Company elects not to apply hedge accounting under ASC 815. Specific information about the valuations of derivatives and classification in the fair value hierarchy are described in Note 16, “Fair Value Measures.”

The Company may enter into derivative contracts that are intended to economically hedge certain of its risks, even though the Company elects not to apply hedge accounting under ASC 815.

Interest Rate Risk

The Company’s objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements on its U.S. dollar and Euro-denominated floating rate debt. To accomplish this objective, the Company primarily uses interest rate swaps, collars and caps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount. Interest rate collars designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable rate amounts if interest rates rise above the cap strike rate on the contract and payments of variable rate amounts if interest rates fall below the floor strike rate on the contract. Interest rate caps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable rate amounts if interest rates rise above the cap strike rate on the contract.

The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss and is subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. During the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2010, such derivatives were used to hedge the variable cash flows associated with existing variable rate debt. The ineffective portion of the change in fair value of the derivatives is recognized directly in earnings. For the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~ September 30, 2010, the Company recorded no ineffectiveness in earnings and no amounts were excluded from the assessment of effectiveness.

Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive loss related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on the Company’s variable rate debt. As of ~~June~~ September 30, 2010, the Company estimates that an additional $64,~~507~~ 558 will be reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss to interest expense during the twelve months ending ~~June~~September 30, 2011.

As of June 30, 2010, the Company had the following outstanding interest rate derivatives that were designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk:

Interest Rate Derivatives	Notional(in millions)		Effective Date	Maturity Date	Index	Strike Rate
Interest rate swap	$	70.0	July 27, 2006	January 27, 2011	3-month LIBOR	5.377%

Foreign Currency Risk

Consistent with the Company’s risk management objective and strategy to reduce exposure to variability in cash flows on its outstanding debt, in December 2009, the Company executed a foreign currency call option. This

instrument was not designated for hedge accounting treatment in accordance with ASC 815. Changes in the fair value of derivatives not designated in hedging relationships are recorded in the statement of operations as a gain or loss within Currency translation gain and other, net. During the six months ended June 30, 2010, the Company recognized a net loss of $993 associated with this derivative. The contract expired unexercised during the three months ended June 30, 2010. As of June 30, 2010, the Company has no outstanding derivative financial instruments to manage the Company’s exposure to foreign currency risk. The Company continues to monitor exposures to this risk and generally employs operating and financing activities to offset these exposures.

Commodity Risk

The Company’s objective in using commodity forward contracts is to offset a portion of its exposure to the potential change in prices associated with certain commodities, including silver, gold, nickel, aluminum and copper, used in the manufacturing of its products. The terms of these forward contracts fix the price at a future date for various notional amounts associated with these commodities. These instruments were not designated for hedge accounting treatment in accordance with ASC 815. In accordance with ASC 815, the Company recognizes the change in fair value of these derivatives in the statement of operations as a gain or loss as a component of Currency translation gain and other, net. During the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, the Company recognized a net (loss) / gain associated with its commodity forward contracts of $(863) and $703, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 the Company recognized a net gain associated with its commodity contracts of $921 and $1,637, respectively.

The Company had the following outstanding commodity forward contracts as of June 30, 2010:

	Notional	Contracted Periods	Weighted-AverageStrike Price

19. Segment Reporting

The Company organizes its business into two reportable segments, sensors and controls, based on differences in products included in each segment. The reportable segments are consistent with how management views the markets served by the Company and the financial information that is reviewed by its chief operating decision maker. The Company manages its sensors and controls businesses as components of an enterprise for which separate information is available and is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance.

An operating segment’s performance is primarily evaluated based on segment operating income, which excludes share-based compensation expense, restructuring charges and certain corporate costs not associated with the operations of the segment, including a portion of depreciation and amortization expenses associated with assets recorded in connection with the 2006 Acquisition, the First Technology Automotive Acquisition and the Airpax Acquisition. In addition, an operating segment’s performance excludes results from discontinued operations. These corporate costs are separately stated below and also include costs that are related to functional areas such as accounting, treasury, information technology, legal, human resources, and internal audit. The Company believes that segment operating income, as defined above, is an appropriate measure for evaluating the operating performance of its segments. However, this measure should be considered in addition to, not a substitute for, or superior to, income from operations or other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The other accounting policies of each of the two reporting segments are the same as those in the summary of significant accounting policies as described in Note 2 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.

The sensors segment is a manufacturer of pressure, force, and electromechanical sensor products used in subsystems of automobiles (e.g., engine, air-conditioning, and ride stabilization), heavy off-road vehicles, and in industrial products such as HVAC systems. These products improve operating performance, for example, by making an automobile’s heating and air-conditioning systems work more efficiently. These products also improve safety and performance, for example, by reducing vehicle emissions and improving gas mileage.

The controls segment is a manufacturer of a variety of control products used in industrial, aerospace, military, commercial and residential markets, including motor and compressor protectors, circuit breakers, semiconductor burn-in test sockets, electronic HVAC controls, power inverters, precision switches and thermostats. These products help prevent damage from overheating and fires in a wide variety of applications, including commercial heating and air-conditioning systems, refrigerators, aircraft, automobiles, lighting and other industrial applications. The controls business also manufactures DC to AC power inverters, which enable the operation of electronic equipment when grid power is not available.

The following tables present net revenue and operating income for the reported segments and other operating results not allocated to the reported segments for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009:

20. Supplemental Guarantor Condensed Consolidating Financial Statements

On April 26, 2006, in connection with the 2006 Acquisition, the Company issued $751,605 aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Senior Notes and the outstanding Senior Subordinated Notes, as described in Note 10 in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009. The Senior Notes and the outstanding Senior Subordinated Notes are herein referenced to as “the Notes”. The Senior Notes are jointly and severally, fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis and the Senior Subordinated Notes are jointly and severally, fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured subordinated basis, in each case, subject to certain exceptions, by the Company and certain of the Company’s direct and indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries in the U.S., (with the exception of those subsidiaries acquired in the First Technology Automotive Acquisition) and certain subsidiaries in the following non-U.S. jurisdictions located in the Netherlands, Mexico, Brazil, Japan, South Korea and Malaysia (with the exception of those subsidiaries acquired in the Airpax Acquisition) (collectively, the “Guarantors”). Each of the Guarantors is 100% owned, directly or indirectly, by the Company. All other subsidiaries of the Company, either direct or indirect, do not guarantee the Senior Notes and Senior Subordinated Notes (“Non-Guarantors”). The Guarantors also unconditionally guarantee the Senior Secured Credit Facility, as described in Note 10 to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.

The following unaudited condensed consolidating financial statements are presented for the information of the holders of the Notes and present the unaudited Condensed Consolidating Balance Sheets as of ~~June~~September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the unaudited Condensed Consolidating Statements of Operations for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2010 and 2009 and the unaudited Condensed Consolidating Statements of Cash Flows for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, of the Company, which is the issuer of the Notes, the Guarantors, the Non-Guarantors and the elimination entries necessary to consolidate the issuer with the Guarantor and Non-Guarantor subsidiaries.

Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for using the equity method for purposes of the condensed consolidating presentation. The principal elimination entries relate to investments in subsidiaries and intercompany balances and transactions. Separate financial statements and other disclosures with respect to the Guarantor subsidiaries have not been provided as management believes the following information is sufficient, as the Guarantor subsidiaries are 100 percent owned by the parent and all guarantees are full and unconditional. Additionally, substantially all of the assets of the Guarantor subsidiaries are pledged under the Notes and, consequently, will not be available to satisfy the claims of Sensata’s general creditors.

Intercompany profits from the sale of inventory between the Company’s Non-Guarantor subsidiaries and the Company’s Guarantor subsidiaries have been reflected on a gross basis within net revenue and cost of revenue in the Guarantor and Non-Guarantor unaudited Condensed Consolidating Statement of Operations, and are eliminated to arrive at the Sensata unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. It is Sensata’s policy to expense intercompany profit margin through the buyer’s cost of revenue when an intercompany sale occurs. Therefore, in the unaudited Condensed Consolidating Balance Sheets, intercompany profits are not included in the carrying value of inventories of the Guarantor and Non-Guarantor subsidiaries. Instead, inventories are stated at the lower of cost or estimated net realizable value, without giving effect to intercompany profits. Sensata believes this presentation best represents the actual revenues earned, costs incurred and financial position of the Company’s legal entities.

~~Certain~~34 ~~reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts to conform to current year presentations.~~

Net revenue. Net revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2010 increased $136.4 million, or 53.4%, to $391.8 million from $255.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009. Net revenue increased 54.5% due to higher volumes, resulting from an increase in production volumes in our mature markets of 33.7%, growth in our emerging markets (primarily China) of 10.4% and growth in content of 10.4%. The increase in volume was partially offset by a decrease of 0.7% due to unfavorable foreign currency exchange rates, primarily the U.S. dollar to Euro, and a decrease of 0.4% due to pricing.

Sensors business segment net revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2010 increased $92.8 million, or 62.8%, to $240.5 million from $147.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009. Sensors net revenue increased 64.7% due to higher volumes, partially offset by the effect of unfavorable foreign exchange rates of 1.0%, primarily the U.S. dollar to Euro exchange rate, and a decrease of 0.9% due to pricing.

Controls business segment net revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2010 increased $43.7 million, or 40.6%, to $151.3 million from $107.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009. Controls net revenue increased 40.5% due to higher volumes and 0.4% due to pricing, partially offset by the effect of unfavorable foreign exchange rates of 0.3%, primarily the U.S. dollar to Euro exchange rate.

Cost of revenue. Cost of revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 was $240.6 million, or 61.4% of net revenue, and $168.9 million, or 66.1% of net revenue, respectively. Cost of revenue increased primarily due to the increase in unit volumes sold. Depreciation expense for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 was $9.5 million and $10.9 million, respectively, of which $8.6 million and $10.0 million, respectively, was included in cost of revenue. Cost of revenue as a percentage of net revenue decreased primarily

Cost of revenue. Cost of revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 was $712.0 million, or 61.8% of net revenue, and $521.2 million, or 65.4% of net revenue, respectively. Cost of revenue increased primarily due to the increase in unit volumes sold. Depreciation expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 was $29.5 million and $34.0 million, respectively, of which $26.7 million and $31.2 million, respectively, was included in cost of revenue. Cost of revenue as a percentage of net revenue decreased primarily due to cost savings initiatives discussed above the leverage effect of higher revenue on certain fixed manufacturing costs, and the reduction in depreciation expense.

Research and development expense. R&D expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 was $17.3 million and $12.7 million, respectively. R&D expense as a percentage of net revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 was 1.5% and 1.6%, respectively.

Selling, general and administrative expense. SG&A expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 was $155.8 million, or 13.5% of net revenue, and $94.8 million, or 11.9%, of net revenue, respectively. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased primarily due to expenses of $22.4 million associated with the termination of the Advisory Agreement with the Sponsors at their election upon completion of the Parent’s initial public offering, and $18.9 million of stock compensation expense associated with the performance vesting of the Tranche 2 and 3 option awards, both of which occurred in March 2010. SG&A expense as a percentage of net revenue increased due to the reasons described for the three months ended September 30, 2010, partially offset by the leverage effect of higher revenue on certain fixed costs and our cost savings initiatives resulting from the restructuring plans implemented in 2008 and 2009.

Amortization of intangible assets and capitalized software. Amortization expense associated with definite-lived intangible assets and capitalized software for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 was $108.3 million and $115.1 million, respectively. The decrease resulted from recognition of amortization expense on an accelerated basis to appropriately reflect the pattern in which the economic benefits of the intangible assets are being realized.

Impairment of goodwill and intangible assets. During the three months ended March 31, 2009, we performed a review of goodwill and definite-lived intangible assets for potential impairment. As a result of this analysis, we determined that goodwill and definite-lived intangible assets associated with our Interconnection reporting unit were impaired and recorded a charge of $19.9 million, of which $5.3 million related to goodwill and $14.6 million related to definite-lived intangible assets. We attributed the impairment charge to the deterioration in the global economy, including capital spending in the semiconductor market, which occurred during the first quarter of 2009.

Restructuring. Restructuring expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 was $0.2 million and $18.0 million, respectively. Restructuring expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 related to the continuation in 2009 of restructuring activities that started in the second half of 2008, including reducing the workforce in our business centers and manufacturing facilities throughout the world and moving certain manufacturing operations to low-cost countries.

Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 consisted primarily of $93.3 million of interest expense on our outstanding debt, $10.4 million of interest associated with our outstanding derivative instruments, $6.8 million of amortization of deferred financing costs and $2.8 million of interest associated with our capital lease and other financing obligations. The decrease in interest expense was due primarily to the tender and redemption of our Senior Notes and Senior Subordinated Notes during the six months ended June 30, 2010.

Currency translation (loss) / gain and other, net. Currency translation gain and other, net for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 was $20.5 million and $94.1 million, respectively. Currency translation gain and other, net for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 consisted primarily of currency gains of $53.8 million resulting from the re-measurement of our foreign currency denominated debt and a net gain of $2.6 million associated with our commodity forward contracts, partially offset by losses of $23.5 million resulting from the tender and redemption of the Senior Notes and Senior Subordinated Notes, net currency losses of $6.5 million resulting from the re-measurement of net monetary assets denominated in foreign currencies and a loss of $5.2 million related to the reversal of indemnification assets and other non-cash tax items as discussed elsewhere. Currency translation gain and other, net for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 consisted primarily of the gain of $120.1 million resulting from the tender of certain Senior Notes and Senior Subordinated Notes, a net gain of $2.4 million associated with our commodity forward contracts, $2.2 million of net currency gains due to the re-measurement of net-monetary assets denominated in foreign currencies partially offset by net currency losses of $28.5 million resulting from the re-measurement of our foreign currency denominated debt, and an impairment loss of $1.6 million associated with our manufacturing facilities classified as held for sale.

Provision for income taxes. Provision for income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 totaled $36.0 million and $35.2 million, respectively. Our tax provision consisted of current tax expense which related primarily to our profitable operations in foreign tax jurisdictions and deferred tax expense which related primarily to amortization of tax deductible goodwill.

Deferred taxes, in part, involve accounting for differences between the financial statement carrying value of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. The future related consequences of these differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities. We assess the recoverability of deferred tax assets by assessing whether it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax asset will be realized. To the extent we believe that a more likely than not standard cannot be met, we record a valuation allowance. Significant management judgment is required in determining the need for a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets. We review the need for valuation allowances jurisdictionally during each reporting period based on information available to us at that time. We have significant valuation allowances in certain jurisdictions where our businesses have historically incurred operating losses. Should our judgment change about the need for a valuation allowance, it may result in the recognition of a valuation allowance or the reduction of some or all of the previously recognized valuation allowances, possibly resulting in a material tax provision or benefit in the period of such change.

Indebtedness and Liquidity:

Our liquidity requirements are significant due to the highly leveraged nature of our Company. As of ~~June~~September 30, 2010, we had $1,~~838~~913.4 7 million in outstanding indebtedness, including our outstanding capital lease and other financing obligations.

A summary of our indebtedness as of ~~June~~September 30, 2010 is as follows:

(Dollars in thousands)	Weighted- averageinterestrate for the ~~six~~nine monthsended ~~June~~September 30, 2010			~~June 30, 2010~~	September 30, 2010

We have a Senior Secured Credit Facility under which we and our subsidiary Sensata Technologies Finance Company, LLC, are the borrowers and certain of our other subsidiaries are guarantors. The Senior Secured Credit Facility includes a $150.0 million multi-currency revolving credit facility, a $950.0 million U.S. dollar-denominated term loan facility, and a €325.0 million Euro-denominated term loan facility ($400.1 million, at issuance). As of ~~June~~September 30, 2010, after adjusting for outstanding letters of credit with an aggregate value of $96.9 million, we had $~~140~~143.1 million of ~~borrowing~~ borrowing capacity available under the revolving credit facility. The outstanding letters of credit were issued primarily for ~~the~~various ~~benefit of a consignment arrangement and certain other~~ operating activities. As of ~~June~~September 30, 2010, no amounts had been drawn against these outstanding letters of credit. These outstanding letters of credit are scheduled to expire in the next twelve months. Upon expiration, we intend to renew ~~a portion of~~ these letters of credit and we do not anticipate difficulty in this regard.

The Senior Secured Credit Facility also provides for an incremental term loan facility and/or incremental revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $250.0 million under certain conditions at the option of our bank group. During fiscal year 2006, to finance the purchase of First Technology Automotive, we borrowed €73.0 million ($95.4 million, at issuance), reducing the available borrowing capacity of this

4850

of our bank group. During fiscal year 2006, to finance the purchase of First Technology Automotive, we borrowed €73.0 million ($95.4 million, at issuance), reducing the available borrowing capacity of this incremental facility to $154.6 million. The incremental borrowing facilities may be activated at any time up to a maximum of three times during the term of the Senior Secured Credit Facility with consent required only from those lenders that agree, at their sole discretion, to participate in such incremental facility and subject to certain conditions, including pro forma compliance with all financial covenants as of the date of incurrence and for the most recent determination period after giving effect to the incurrence of such incremental facility.

On February 26, 2010, we announced the commencement of cash tender offers related to our 8% Senior Notes due 2014 (the “Dollar Notes”), our 9% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2016 and our 11.25% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2014 (together the “Euro Notes”). The cash tender offers settled during the three months ended March 31, 2010. The aggregate principal amount of the Dollar Notes validly tendered was $0.3 million, representing approximately 0.1% of the outstanding Dollar Notes. The aggregate principal amount of the Euro Notes tendered was €71.9 million, representing approximately 22.8% of the outstanding Euro Notes. We paid $102.1 million in principal ($0.3 million for the Dollar Notes and €75.9 million for the Euro Notes) and $2.2 million of accrued interest to settle the tender offers and retire the debt on March 29, 2010.

On April 1, 2010, we announced the redemption of all of our outstanding 11.25% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2014 at a redemption price equal to 105.625% of the principal amount, and $138.6 million of our outstanding 8% Senior Notes due 2014 at a redemption price equal to 104.000% of the principal amount. We paid $225.0 million in principal, $10.4 million in premiums and $8.4 million of accrued interest in May 2010 to complete the redemption.

In connection with these transactions, during the ~~three and~~nine ~~six~~ months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2010, we recorded a loss in ~~currency~~ Currency translation (loss) / gain and other, net of $~~15.4 million and $~~23.5 million, ~~respectively,~~ including the write-off of debt issuance costs of $~~4.9 million and $~~6.8 million.

Our sources of liquidity include cash on hand, cash flow from operations and amounts available under our Senior Secured Credit Facility. We believe, based on our current level of operations as reflected in our results of operations for the three and nine ~~six~~ months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2010, these sources of liquidity will be sufficient to fund our operations, capital expenditures, and debt service for at least the next twelve months.

Our ability to raise additional financing and its borrowing costs may be impacted by short- and long-term debt ratings assigned by independent rating agencies, which are based, in part, on our performance as measured by certain credit metrics such as interest coverage and leverage ratios. As of ~~July~~October 2621, 2010, our Moody’s Investors Service’s corporate credit rating was B3B2 with ~~stable~~positive outlook and our Standard & Poor’s corporate credit rating was B+ with positive outlook.

We cannot make assurances that our business will generate sufficient cash flow from operations or that future borrowings will be available to us under our revolving credit facility in an amount sufficient to enable us to pay our indebtedness, including the Senior Notes and Senior Subordinated Notes, or to fund our other liquidity needs. We may experience delays in accessing a portion of our cash balances that are held in subsidiaries operating in foreign jurisdictions due to foreign government regulations regarding cash movement across its borders. Further, our highly leveraged nature may limit our ability to procure additional financing in the future.

As of ~~June~~September 30, 2010, we were in compliance with all the covenants and default provisions under our credit arrangements. For more information on our indebtedness and related covenants and default provisions, see the notes to our audited consolidated financial statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.

New Accounting Standards

4951

~~and provides amendments to the criteria for separating deliverables, and measuring and allocating arrangement~~ consideration to one or more units of accounting. The amendments of ASU 2009-13 also establish a hierarchy for determining the selling price of a deliverable, and require significantly enhanced disclosures to provide information about a ~~vendors~~vendor’s multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements, including information about their nature and terms, significant deliverables, and the general timing of delivery. The amendments also require disclosure of information about the significant judgments made and changes to those judgments, and about how the application of the relative selling price method affects the timing or amount of revenue recognition. The amendments of ASU 2009-13 are effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in annual reporting periods beginning on or after June 15, 2010, or January 1, 2011 for us. Early application is permitted. We are currently evaluating the potential effect, if any, the adoption of ASU 2009-13 will have on our financial position and results of operations.

We adopted the following accounting standards during 2010:

In February 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-09, Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements, (“ASU 2010-09”), which eliminates the requirement under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 855, Subsequent Events (“ASC 855”) for SEC registrants to disclose the date through which they have evaluated subsequent events in the financial statements. ASU 2010-09 was effective upon issuance, and we adopted its provisions as of the issuance of the Quarterly ~~report~~Report for the period ended March 31, 2010. The adoption of ASU 2010-09 was for disclosure purposes only and did not have any effect on our financial position or results of operations.

In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-06, Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements (“ASU 2010-06”), which amends ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure (“ASC 820”) to require a number of additional disclosures regarding fair value measurements. In addition to the new disclosure requirements, ASU 2010-06 amends ASC 820 to clarify that reporting entities are required to provide fair value measurement disclosures for each class of assets and liabilities. Prior to the issuance of ASU 2010-06, the guidance in ASC 820 required separate fair value disclosures for each major category of assets and liabilities. ASU 2010-06 also clarifies the requirement for entities to disclose information about both the valuation techniques and inputs used in estimating Level 2 and Level 3 fair value measurements. Except for the requirement to disclose information about purchases, sales, issuance and settlements in the reconciliation of recurring Level 3 measurements on a gross basis, all of the provisions of ASU 2010-06 were effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009. We adopted these provisions as of January 1, 2010. The requirement to separately disclose purchases, sales, issuances and settlements of recurring Level 3 measurements is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2010, or January 1, 2011 for us. The adoption of this portion of ASU 2010-06 will not have any effect on our financial position or results of operations.

In June 2009, the FASB issued guidance now codified within ASC Topic 810, Consolidation (“ASC 810”), which requires entities to perform an analysis to determine whether the enterprise’s variable interest or interests give it a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity. This analysis identifies the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity as one with the power to direct the activities of a variable interest entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and obligation to absorb losses of the entity that could potentially be significant to the variable interest. The guidance was effective as of the beginning of the annual reporting period commencing after November 15, 2009~~, with early adoption prohibited~~. We adopted these provisions as of January 1, 2010. The adoption of the guidance codified within ASC 810 did not have any effect on our financial position or results of operations.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

There have been no significant changes to our market risk since December 31, 2009. For a discussion of market risk affecting us, refer to “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.

Item 4.

Controls and Procedures.

The required certifications of our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Accounting Officer are included as exhibits to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The disclosures set forth in this Item 4 contain information concerning the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, internal control over financial reporting and change in internal controls over financial reporting referred to in those certifications. Those certifications should be read in conjunction with this Item 4 for a more complete understanding of the matters covered by the certifications.

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Accounting Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of ~~June~~ September 30, 2010. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of ~~June~~September 30, 2010, our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Accounting Officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

In evaluating the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Accounting Officer considered, among other things, the matters discussed in Note 15 to the condensed consolidated financial statements presented herein, “Commitments and Contingencies,” in the section titled “Other Matters.”

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

No change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) occurred during the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2010 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls

There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, even an effective system of internal control over financial reporting can only provide reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Our internal controls over financial reporting are subject to various inherent limitations, including cost limitations, judgments used in decision making, assumptions about the likelihood of future events, the soundness of our systems, the possibility of human error and the risk of fraud. Moreover, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may be inadequate because of changes in conditions and the risk that the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate over time.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.

Legal Proceedings.

Information regarding legal proceedings appears under the caption “Business—Legal Proceedings” in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009. The following information updates, and should be read in conjunction with, the information disclosed in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.

Ford Speed Control Deactivation Switch Litigation: We are involved in a number of litigation matters relating to a pressure switch that TI sold to Ford Motor Company (“Ford”) for several years until 2002, which was incorporated into a cruise control deactivation switch system. Between 1999 and 2009, Ford and related manufacturers issued nine different recalls in the US and China, due to concerns that in some circumstances this system and switch may cause fires. In 2001, TI received a demand from Ford for reimbursement of costs related to the first recall, and rejected that demand. Ford has not subsequently pursued TI or us for any demands related to these recalls.

We have been served with various lawsuits related to this matter in which plaintiffs have alleged wrongful death related to fires allegedly caused by the system and switch. During fiscal year 2008, we settled all then outstanding wrongful death cases related to these matters for amounts that did not have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations. On April 1, 2010, we were served (along with TI) in a new lawsuit involving wrongful death claims, Romans v. Texas Instruments Inc. et al, Case # CVH 20100126, Madison County Court of Common Pleas, Ohio. The lawsuit alleges that a 2008 residential fire resulted in the deaths of three people and injuries to a fourth. A separate lawsuit, which arises from the same facts, Romans v. Ford Motor Company, Case #CVC20090074, Madison County Court of Common Pleas, Ohio, has been filed against Ford. On April 9, 2010, the plaintiffs filed a motion to consolidate the two lawsuits. We believe that these claims will ultimately be dismissed.

As of ~~June~~September 30, 2010, we were a defendant in 2423 third party lawsuits in which plaintiffs have alleged property damage and ~~various~~ various personal injuries from the system and switch. A majority of these cases seek an unspecified amount of compensatory and exemplary damages. ~~The~~Where ~~range~~a of demand ~~where one~~ is specified the range is from $50 thousand to $3.0 million. Ford and TI are co-defendants in each of these lawsuits. We have recorded a $0.6 million reserve in our financial statements for potential losses in these cases.

Whirlpool Recall Litigation: We are involved in litigation relating to certain control products that TI sold between 2000 and 2004 to Whirlpool Corporation (“Whirlpool”). The control products were incorporated into the compressors of certain refrigerators in a number of Whirlpool brands. Whirlpool contends that the control products were defective because they allegedly fail at excessive rates, and have allegedly caused property damage, including fires.

On January 28, 2009, Whirlpool filed a lawsuit against TI and one of our subsidiaries asserting, among other things, contract claims as well as claims for breach of warranty, fraud, negligence, indemnification, and deceptive trade practices. The lawsuit seeks an unspecified amount of compensatory and exemplary damages. We and TI have answered the complaint and denied liability. In January 2009, TI elected to become the controlling party for this lawsuit and will manage and defend the litigation on behalf of both TI and us.

On June 11, 2010, Whirlpool filed a first amended complaint in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, Whirlpool Corp. et. al. v. Sensata Technologies, Inc. et. al., Docket No. 2009-L-001022. The amended complaint clarifies many of their contentions, and adds and subtracts certain causes of action. The court has scheduled a trial setting for October 2011 and the parties continue in the discovery process. As of ~~June~~September 30, 2010, we have recorded a reserve of $5.9 million related to this matter.

5254

litigation, including the Whirlpool matter, to the extent that the aggregate amount of costs and/or damages from such claims exceeds $30.0 million (up to a cap of $300 million). As of ~~June~~September 30, 2010, we have incurred approximately $27.02 million of costs that we believe apply towards the indemnification.

We have also been involved in a related but separate proceeding with TI’s insurer, American Alternative Insurance. TI has filed a lawsuit against this insurer seeking reimbursement of its defense costs in the Whirlpool litigation and third party claims. During the three months ended June 30, 2010, TI informed us that they have reached a settlement with their insurer in this matter. As of ~~June~~September 30, 2010, we have not recorded a reserve for this matter.

Item 1A.

Risk Factors.

~~There~~Information ~~have been~~regarding norisk ~~material~~factors ~~changes~~appears toin the ~~risk~~Annual ~~factors~~Report ~~previously~~on ~~disclosed~~Form ~~under~~10-K for the ~~caption~~year ~~“Risk~~ended ~~Factors”~~December 31, 2009. The information presented below updates and should be read in connection with the risk factors and information disclosed in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.

We are subject to risks associated with our non-U.S. operations, which could adversely impact the reported results of operations from our international businesses.

Our subsidiaries outside of the Americas generated approximately 55% of our net revenue for fiscal year 2009, and we expect sales from non-U.S. markets to continue to represent a significant portion of our total sales.

International sales and operations are subject to changes in local government regulations and policies, including those related to tariffs and trade barriers, investments, taxation, exchange controls and repatriation of earnings.

A significant portion of our revenue, expenses, receivables and payables are denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars. We are, therefore, subject to foreign currency risks and foreign exchange exposure. Changes in the relative values of currencies occur from time to time and could affect our operating results. For financial reporting purposes, the functional currency that we use is the U.S. dollar because of the significant influence of the U.S. dollar on our operations. In certain instances, we enter into transactions that are denominated in a currency other than the U.S. dollar. At the date the transaction is recognized, each asset, liability, revenue, expense, gain or loss arising from the transaction is measured and recorded in U.S. dollars using the exchange rate in effect at that date. At each balance sheet date, recorded monetary balances denominated in a currency other than the U.S. dollar are adjusted to the U.S. dollar using the current exchange rate with gains or losses recorded in Currency translation (loss)/gain and other, net. During times of a weakening U.S. dollar, our reported international sales and earnings will increase because the non-U.S. currency will translate into more U.S. dollars. Conversely, during times of a strengthening U.S. dollar, our reported international sales and earnings will be reduced because the local currency will translate into fewer U.S. dollars.

There are other risks that are inherent in our non-U.S. operations, including the potential for changes in socio-economic conditions and/or monetary and fiscal policies, intellectual property protection difficulties and disputes, the settlement of legal disputes through certain foreign legal systems, the collection of receivables through certain foreign legal systems, exposure to possible expropriation or other government actions, unsettled political conditions and possible terrorist attacks against American interests. Our international business is subject to U.S. and local government regulations and procurement policies and practices, which may change from time to time, including regulations relating to import-export control, anti-bribery, environmental, health and safety, investments, exchange controls and repatriation of earnings or cash settlement challenges. These international risks may be especially significant with respect to sales of aerospace and defense products and sales to government entities. We also are exposed to risks associated with using foreign representatives and consultants for international sales and operations and teaming with international subcontractors and suppliers in connection with international programs. These and other factors may have a material adverse effect on our non-U.S. operations and, therefore, on our business and results of operations.

Item 2.

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

On March 26, 2010, the Company issued 20 ordinary shares, par value €100 per share to its immediate parent company, Sensata Intermediate Holding, in exchange for consideration of approximately $5.2 million per share, or aggregate consideration of approximately $103.8 million. On April 29, 2010 the Company issued an additional 20 ordinary shares, par value €100 per share to Sensata Intermediate Holding, in exchange for consideration of approximately $4.7 million per share, or aggregate consideration of approximately $93.1 million. The issuance of these shares was exempt from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, as an issuance not involving a public offering.
