All Rights Reserved. Please Consider the Environment Before Printing This Document Fund Income earned Fidelity Cash Central Fund $ 20,354 Income Tax Information At September 30, 2007, the aggregate cost of investment securities for income tax purposes was $37,647,223. Net unrealized appreciation aggregated $4,015,725, of which $5,572,695 related to appreciated investment securities and $1,556,970 related to depreciated investment securities. Investment Valuation Investments are valued as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Wherever possible, the fund uses independent pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees to value its investments. Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price. Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value each business day. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost, which approximates value. When current market prices or quotations are not readily available or do not accurately reflect fair value, valuations may be determined in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. For example, when developments occur between the close of a market and the close of the NYSE that may materially affect the value of some or all of the securities, or when trading in a security is halted, those securities may be fair valued.

  • The Politics of Global Production: Apple, Foxconn and Chinas New
    New Technology, Work and Employment 28:2 ISSN 0268-1072 The politics of global production: Apple, Foxconn and China’s new working class Jenny Chan, Ngai Pun and Mark Selden Apple’s commercial triumph rests in part on the outsourcing of its consumer electronics production to Asia. Drawing on exten- sive fieldwork at China’s leading exporter—the Taiwanese- owned Foxconn—the power dynamics of the buyer-driven supply chain are analysed in the context of the national ter- rains that mediate or even accentuate global pressures. Power asymmetries assure the dominance of Apple in price setting and the timing of product delivery, resulting in intense pressures and illegal overtime for workers. Responding to the high- pressure production regime, the young generation of Chinese rural migrant workers engages in a crescendo of individual and collective struggles to define their rights and defend their dignity in the face of combined corporate and state power. Keywords: Foxconn, Apple, global supply chains, labour, China, outsourcing, consumer electronics manufacturing, collective actions. Introduction The magnitude of Apple’s commercial success is paralleled by, and based upon, the scale of production in its supply chain factories, the most important of them located in Asia (Apple, 2012a: 7). As the principal manufacturer of products and components for Apple, Taiwanese company Foxconn1 currently employs 1.4 million workers in China alone. Arguably, then, just as Apple has achieved a globally dominant position, described as ‘the world’s most valuable brand’ (Brand Finance Global 500, 2013), so too have the fortunes of Foxconn been entwined with Apple’s success, facilitating Foxconn’s rise to become the world’s largest electronics contractor (Dinges, 2010).

  • THE STORY of ELECTRONICS: Annotated Script
    THE STORY OF ELECTRONICS: Annotated Script By Annie Leonard The other day, I couldn’t find my computer charger. My computer is my lifeline to my work, my friends, my music. So I looked everywhere, even in that drawer where this lives. I know you have one too, a tangle of old chargers, the sad remains of electronics past. How did I end up with so many of these things? It’s not like I’m always after the latest gadget. My old devices broke or became so obsolete I couldn’t use them anymore. And not one of these old chargers fits my computer. Augh. This isn’t just bad luck. It’s bad design.1 I call it “designed for the dump.” “Designed for the dump” sounds crazy, right? But when you’re trying to sell lots of stuff, it makes perfect sense. It’s a key strategy of the companies that make our electronics.2 In fact it’s a key part of our whole unsustainable materials economy. Designed for the dump means making stuff to be thrown away quickly. Today’s electronics are hard to upgrade, easy to break, and impractical to repair. My DVD player broke and I took it to a shop to get fixed. The repair guy wanted $50 just to look at it! A new one at Target costs $39.3 In the 1960s, Gordon Moore, the giant brain and semiconductor pioneer, predicted that electronics 1. It may seem crazy, but many of these products are actually designed where consumers access data on the Internet – or “the cloud” – to break after a certain amount of time.

Project Participants Agere, ASE, Cisco, Cookson, Dage, Foxconn, Henkel, HP, IBM, Intel, Lucent, Plexus, Solectron, Sun Microsystems, Texas Instruments, TTM and Vitronics- Soltec Pb-free Surface Finish Project Abstract The transition to the use of Pb-free solder alloys introduces new solder joint reliability concerns. The implementation of alternative surface finishes for circuit boards and package substrates compounds these concerns. This iNEMI project is conducting comparative four-point bend testing, drop testing and board-level thermal cycling of Pb-free components assembled on test boards, as well as comparative solder ball shear/pull testing on BGA and CSP components. The test packages include BGA, CSP and QFP devices, manufactured in a variety of Pb-free surface finishes. OSP and immersion Ag surface finishes are being evaluated for the circuit boards. Sn3Ag0.5Cu solder paste has been selected for the component attachment. Project completion is targeted for March 2007.
