InfoSonics Corporation

Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(unaudited)

 

NOTE 1. Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements and these condensed notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results are likely to differ from those estimates, but management does not believe such differences will materially affect the financial position or results of operations of InfoSonics Corporation (the “Company”), although they may. These unaudited consolidated financial statements and condensed notes should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes as of and for the year ended December 31, 2008 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.  These unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments considered, in the opinion of the Company’s management, necessary to fairly present the results for the periods covered herein and such adjustments are considered of a normal recurring nature.

 

The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries, Axcess Mobile LLC, InfoSonics Latin America, Inc., InfoSonics de Mexico S.A. de C.V., InfoSonics de Guatemala S.A., InfoSonics El Salvador S.A. de C.V., InfoSonics S.A., InfoSonics Corporation Chile y Compania Limitada, InfoSonics Colombia S.A. and verykool USA, Inc., all of which are wholly owned. Significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation of these consolidated financial statements.

 

The unaudited consolidated balance sheet, the unaudited consolidated statements of operations and the unaudited consolidated statements of comprehensive operations as of or for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and the unaudited consolidated statement of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the financial condition, operating results or cash flows that may be expected for the full fiscal year of 2009 or for any future period.

 

NOTE 2. Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company has three equity incentive plans, the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan (“2006 Plan”), the 2003 Stock Option Plan (“2003 Plan”) and the 1998 Stock Option Plan (“1998 Plan”).  Each of the plans has been approved by our stockholders. The 2006 Plan authorizes the grant of up to 1,000,000 shares for equity incentives.  As of June 30, 2009, options to purchase 398,500 shares were outstanding under the 2006 Plan and options to purchase 102,000 shares have been exercised or forfeited under the plan. The Company is also a party to non-plan option agreements with several non-employee directors and several institutions.

 

On December 28, 2007, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) staff published Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 110 (SAB 110), which updates SAB 107 and provides the SEC staff’s views on a variety of matters relating to stock-based payments.  SAB 110 requires stock-based compensation to be classified in the same expense line items as cash compensation.   Information about stock-based compensation included in the unaudited results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 is as follows:

Our stock options vest on an annual or a monthly basis.  The Company recognizes stock-based compensation costs on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award, which is generally the option vesting term.   Such amounts may change as a result of additional grants, forfeitures, modifications in assumptions and other factors. SFAS 123R provides that income tax effects of share-based payments are recognized in the financial statements for those awards which will normally result in tax deductions under existing tax law. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, we recorded an expense of $18,015 and $31,461, respectively, related to options previously granted and granted during the first three and six months of 2009. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, we recorded an expense of $20,006 and $40,398, respectively, related to options previously granted and granted during the first three and six months of 2008. Under current U.S. federal tax law, we receive a compensation expense deduction related to non-qualified stock options only when those options are exercised and vested shares are received. Accordingly, the financial statement recognition of compensation cost for non-qualified stock options creates a deductible temporary difference which results in a deferred tax asset and a corresponding deferred tax benefit in our consolidated statements of operations.

 

The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions used for grants in 2008 and 2009: risk-free interest rate of 1.47% in 2008 and 0.91% in 2009, based on the U.S. Treasury yields in effect at the time of grant; expected dividend yields of 0% as the Company has not, and does not intend to, issue dividends; and expected lives of 3 to 6 years based upon the historical life of options. For grants in 2008 and 2009, the expected volatility used ranged from 88% to 108%, based on the Company’s historical stock price fluctuations for a period matching the expected life of the options.  As of June 30, 2009, there was $177,000 of total unrecognized compensation costs related to the non-vested stock options.  That cost is expected to be recognized over the remaining weighted-average period of 3.75 years.

NOTE 3. Earnings Per Share

 

The Company utilizes SFAS No. 128, ‘‘Earnings per Share.’’ Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is computed similarly to basic earnings per share, except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential additional common shares that were dilutive had been issued. Common share equivalents are excluded from the computation if their effect is anti-dilutive. The Company’s common share equivalents consist of stock options and warrants.

 

Common shares from exercise of certain options and warrants have been excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because their exercise prices are greater than the Company’s weighted-average stock price for the period.  For the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 the number of shares excluded was 1,573,035 and 1,653,572, respectively.

Since their effect would have been anti-dilutive, 2,991,616 and 2,903,611, stock options and warrants to purchase shares of common stock have been excluded from the computation of net loss per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively.

 

NOTE 4. Income Taxes

 

The Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”) effective January 1, 2007. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in financial statements and requires the impact of a tax position to be recognized in the financial statements if that position is more likely than not of being sustained by the taxing authority.  As a result of the implementation of FIN 48, the Company made a comprehensive review of its portfolio of uncertain tax positions in accordance with recognition standards established by FIN 48. In this regard, an uncertain tax position represents the Company’s expected treatment of a tax position taken in a filed tax return, or planned to be taken in a future tax return, that has not been reflected in measuring income tax expense for financial reporting purposes. At the date of adoption, and as of December 31, 2008 and June 30, 2009, the Company does not have a liability for unrecognized tax benefits.   The Company concluded that at this time there are no uncertain tax positions. As a result of applying the provisions of FIN 48, there was no cumulative effect on retained earnings.

 

The Company is subject to US federal income tax as well as income tax in multiple states and foreign jurisdictions. For all major taxing jurisdictions, the tax years 2003 through 2008 remain open to examination. As of June 30, 2009, the Company does not expect any material changes to unrecognized tax positions within the next twelve months.

 

SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” establishes financial accounting and reporting standards for the effect of income taxes. The objectives of accounting for income taxes are to recognize the amount of taxes payable or refundable for the current year and deferred tax liabilities and assets for the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in an entity’s financial statements or tax returns. Judgment is required in assessing the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in our financial statements or tax returns. Fluctuations in the actual outcome of these future tax consequences could materially impact our financial position or our results of operations.  For the six months ended June 30, 2009, deferred income tax assets and the corresponding valuation allowance increased by $671,000.

 

NOTE 5. Inventory

 

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market and consists primarily of cellular phones and cellular phone accessories.  The Company provides for the possible inability to sell its inventory by recording a reserve.  As of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the inventory reserve was $224,556 and $161,556, respectively.  From time to time, the Company has prepaid inventory as a result of payments for products which have not been received by the balance sheet date.  As of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the prepaid inventory balances were $50,051 and $170, respectively.  Included in Assets for Discontinued Operations as of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 are inventory balances of $1,076,589 and $1,307,463, respectively.    Inventory consists of the following:

NOTE 8. Borrowings

 

On April 30, 2008, the Company entered into a Loan, Security and Bulk Purchase Agreement and a Letter of Credit and Security Agreement (collectively, the “Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Century, Inc. (“Lender”), replacing the then-existing asset-based secured credit facility with Wells Fargo HSBC Trade Bank, N.A.  Pursuant to the Agreement, the Lender may advance up to $45,000,000 to the Company based on the expected collections of eligible receivables as well as value of the Company’s eligible inventory determined in accordance with the Agreement.  The outstanding advances may not exceed the lesser of (i) $45,000,000 or (ii) the sum of the value of the eligible receivables and eligible inventory multiplied by their respective advance rates as set forth in the Agreement.  At June 30, 2009, the majority of our debt was based on foreign accounts receivable a majority of which is insured.  This credit facility has a two-year term ending April 2010 and is secured by all of the assets of the Company. The interest rate for each borrowing under the credit facility is, at the option of the Company, either the Wells Fargo Bank N.A. prime rate minus 0.50% (3.25% less 0.50%  at June 30, 2009) or the LIBOR rate plus 2.00% (0.6207% plus 2.00% at June 30, 2009)At June 30, 2009, the amount drawn against the Lender line of credit was $31,476,001 of the total amount available at June 30, 2009 of $35,730,635.  As of June 30, 2009, the Company was in compliance with the covenants of the credit facility.  If any adverse events occur or we are unable to renew our credit facility or enter into an adequate credit relationship as needed, our business’ financial condition or operating results could be negatively affected.

 

The Company has no other notes payable.

 

NOTE 9. Stockholders’ Equity

 

Common Stock

 

On May 15, 2008, the Company agreed to issue 100,000 unregistered shares of common stock in connection with an amendment to a then-existing agreement with an unrelated partner.  The shares were issued October 20, 2008.  The amendment modifies a profit sharing agreement to increase the portion of profit sharing the Company earns.  The increase in the portion of the profit sharing to the Company is retroactive to January 1, 2008 and continued to December 31, 2008.

Stock Options

 

Effective March 18, 2008 and May 13, 2008, the Company granted options to purchase an aggregate of 180,500 and 2,500 shares, respectively, of its common stock to certain non-executive employees (the “Employee Options”). One-fourth of the total shares subject to these options became exercisable one year from the date of grant, and 1/48th of the total shares subject to these options become exercisable each month thereafter until fully vested.  These options have exercise prices of $1.04 per share, which was the closing price per share of the Company’s common stock on each of March 18, 2008 and May 13, 2008, and expire six years from the date of grant. See Note 2 for Stock-Based Compensation discussion.

 

Effective May 19, 2009, the Company granted options to purchase an aggregate of 252,500 shares, of its common stock to certain executive and non-executive employees and the members of the Board of Directors (the “Employee Options”). One-fourth of the total shares subject to these options become exercisable one year from the date of grant, and 1/48th of the total shares subject to the options become exercisable each month thereafter until fully vested.  These options have exercise prices of $0.51 per share, which was the closing price per share of the Company’s common stock on May 19, 2009, and expire six years from the date of grant. See Note 2 for Stock-Based Compensation discussion.

 

Treasury Stock

 

On December 15, 2008, the Company announced a share buyback program, authorizing up to $500,000 to be used for stock repurchases.  As of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, we had purchased 826,661 and 54,537 shares, respectively, at a total cost of $499,994 and $16,955, respectively. During the quarter ended June 30, 2009 the Company retired 265,053 shares which previously had been held in treasury.

 

NOTE 10. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

Recently Adopted:

 

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS No. 157).  SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurement.  SFAS No. 157 also emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement, and sets out a fair value hierarchy with the highest priority being quoted prices in active markets.  Under SFAS No. 157, fair value measurements are disclosed by level within that hierarchy.  In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157, which permitted a one-year deferral for the implementation of SFAS No. 157 with regard to nonfinancial assets and liabilities that are not recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis.  The Company adopted SFAS No. 157 for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2008, except for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a nonrecurring basis, which was adopted in the first quarter of 2009.  The adoption of the remaining provisions of SFAS No. 157 did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements — an amendment of ARB No. 51,” (SFAS 160).  SFAS 160 amends Accounting Research Bulletin 51, “Consolidated Financial Statements to establish accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary.” This standard defines a noncontrolling interest, sometimes called a minority interest, as the portion of equity in a subsidiary not attributable, directly or indirectly, to a parent. SFAS 160 requires, among other items, that a noncontrolling interest be included in the consolidated statement of financial position within equity separate from the parent’s equity; consolidated net income to be reported at amounts inclusive of both the parent’s and noncontrolling interest’s shares and, separately, the amounts of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and noncontrolling interest all on the consolidated statement of income; and if a subsidiary is deconsolidated, any retained noncontrolling equity investment in the former subsidiary be measured at fair value and a gain or loss be recognized in net income based on such fair value. SFAS 160 became effective for the Company on January 1, 2009. The adoption of SFAS 160 did not have a material impact to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures and Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities — an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133, (“SFAS No. 161”), which requires additional disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivative instruments, how the derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” and related interpretations, and how the derivative instruments and related hedged items affect our financial statements. SFAS No. 161 also requires disclosures about credit risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements. The adoption of SFAS No. 161 did not have a material impact to our condensed consolidated financial statements as the Company does not have derivative instruments for purposes of hedging activities.

Table of Contents

 

In May 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) No. APB 14-1, “Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement).” FSP No. APB 14-1 nullifies EITF Issues No. 90-19 and No. 03-7 and amends No. 98-5, No. 99-1, No. 00-27, No. 04-8, No. 05-1 and No. 06-7. This FSP applies to convertible debt instruments that, by their stated terms, may be settled in cash (or other assets) upon conversion, including partial cash settlement, unless the embedded conversion option is required to be separately accounted for as a derivative under FASB No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.” Under this FSP, companies are required to separately account for the liability and equity components of convertible debt by first determining the carrying amount of the liability component by measuring the fair value of a similar liability that does not have an associated equity component and then determining the carrying amount of the equity component embedded in the instrument by deducting the fair value of the liability component from the initial proceeds ascribed to the convertible debt instrument as a whole. The carrying amount of the equity component will then be amortized over the expected life of the debt to interest expense. The Company adopted the FSP during the first quarter of 2009, which did not have a material impact to the condensed consolidated financial statements as the Company does not have convertible notes outstanding which can be converted in whole or in part, to cash.

 

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), “Business Combinations,” (SFAS 141(R)). SFAS 141(R) replaces SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations,” (SFAS 141) and retains the fundamental requirements in SFAS 141, including that the purchase method be used for all business combinations and for an acquirer to be identified for each business combination. This standard defines the acquirer as the entity that obtains control of one or more businesses in the business combination and establishes the acquisition date as the date that the acquirer achieves control instead of the date that the consideration is transferred. SFAS 141(R) requires an acquirer in a business combination, including business combinations achieved in states (step acquisition), to recognize the assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquire at the acquisition date, measured at their fair values of that date, with limited exceptions. It also requires the recognition of assets acquired and liabilities assumed arising from certain contractual contingencies as of the acquisition date, measured at their acquisition-date fair values. SFAS 141(R) became effective for the Company on January 1, 2009. The adoption of SFAS No. 141(R) did not have a material impact to our consolidated financial statements as the Company did not make any acquisitions in the first two quarters of 2009.

 

In June 2008, the FASB ratified EITF 07-5, “Determining Whether an Instrument (or Embedded Feature) Is Indexed to an Entity’s Own Stock,” (“EITF 07-5”). Paragraph 11(a) of SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivatives and Hedging Activities, (“SFAS 133”) specifies that a contract that would otherwise meet the definition of a derivative but is both (a) indexed to the Company’s own stock and (b) classified in stockholders’ equity in the statement of financial position would not be considered a derivative financial instrument. EITF 07-5 provides a new two-step model to be applied in determining whether a financial instrument or an embedded feature is indexed to an issuer’s own stock and thus able to qualify for the SFAS 133 paragraph 11(a) scope exception. EITF 07-5 became effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2009. See Note 11 for further information.

 

On June 30, 2009, we adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 165, “Subsequent Events,” (SFAS 165). SFAS 165 establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. Specifically, SFAS 165 sets forth the period after the balance sheet date during which management of a reporting entity should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements, the circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements, and the disclosures that an entity should make about events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date. The adoption of SFAS 165 did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

On June 30, 2009, we adopted FASB Staff Position (FSP) No. FAS 157-4, “Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly,” (FSP FAS 157-4). FSP FAS 157-4 provides additional guidance for estimating fair value in accordance with SFAS 157 when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased and includes guidance for identifying circumstances that indicate a transaction is not orderly. This guidance is necessary to maintain the overall objective of fair value measurements, which is that fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. The adoption of FSP FAS 157-4 had no impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

On June 30, 2009, we adopted FSP No. FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2, “Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments,” (FSP FAS 115-2/124-2). FSP FAS 115-2/124-2 amends existing other-than-temporary impairment guidance for debt securities to make the guidance more operational and to improve the presentation and disclosure of other-than-temporary impairments on debt and equity securities. The adoption of FSP FAS 115-2/124-2 had no impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

On June 30, 2009, we adopted FSP No. FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, “Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments,” (FSP FAS 107-1/APB 28-1). FSP FAS 107-1/APB 28-1 requires a publicly traded company to include disclosures about the fair value of its financial instruments whenever it issues summarized financial information for interim reporting periods. Such disclosures include the fair value of all financial instruments, for which it is practicable to estimate that value, whether recognized or not recognized in the statement of financial position; the related carrying amount of these financial instruments; and the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value. The adoption of FSP FAS 107-1/APB 28-1 had no impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Table of Contents

 

Effective January 1, 2009, we adopted FSP No. FAS 141(R)-1, “Accounting for Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed in a Business Combination That Arise from Contingencies,” (FSP FAS 141(R)-1), which was issued on April 1, 2009. FSP FAS 141(R)-1 applies to all assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination that arise from certain contingencies as defined in this FSP and requires (i) an acquirer to recognize at fair value, at the acquisition date, an asset acquired or liability assumed in a business combination that arises from a contingency if the acquisition-date fair value of that asset or liability can be determined during the measurement period otherwise the asset or liability should be recognized at the acquisition date if certain defined criteria are met; (ii) contingent consideration arrangements of an acquiree assumed by the acquirer in a business combination be recognized initially at fair value; (iii) subsequent measurements of assets and liabilities arising from contingencies be based on a systematic and rational method depending on their nature and contingent consideration arrangements be measured subsequently in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 141(R); and (iv) disclosures of the amounts and measurement basis of such assets and liabilities and the nature of the contingencies. The provisions of FSP FAS 141(R)-1 did not have a material impact to our condensed consolidated financial Statements, as the Company did not make any acquisitions in the first two quarters of 2009.

 

On January 1, 2009, we adopted FSP No. FAS 142-3, “Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets,” (FSP FAS 142-3). FSP FAS 142-3 amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under FASB Statement No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” (SFAS 142) in order to improve the consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS 142 and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset under SFAS 141(R) and other GAAP. The adoption of FSP FAS 142-3 did not have a material impact to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

Issued:

 

In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 168, “The FASB Accounting Standards CodificationTM and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles—a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162,” (SFAS 168). SFAS 168 replaces SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles,” and establishes the FASB Accounting Standards CodificationTM (Codification) as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP. Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. The FASB will no longer issue new standards in the form of Statements, FASB Staff Positions, or Emerging Issues Task Force Abstracts; instead the FASB will issue Accounting Standards Updates. Accounting Standards Updates will not be authoritative in their own right as they will only serve to update the Codification. The issuance of SFAS 168 and the Codification does not change GAAP. SFAS 168 becomes effective for us for the period ending September 30, 2009. Management has determined that the adoption of SFAS 168 will not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

NOTE 11.  Discontinued Operations

 

During the quarter ended June 30, 2008, the Company assessed opportunities in the United States and Mexico, and the Company began to implement actions necessary to close sales operations in both of those countries, which actions continue, although were substantially completed by the end of 2008. These two areas accounted for less than 1% of our net sales in the first three and six months of 2009 and 2008.  Due to the changing environment and consolidation in the United States of the regional cellular carriers, along with the challenges of opening sales relations with the cellular carriers in Mexico, management determined that it was necessary to take decisive actions to mitigate further losses.  The results of the unaudited discontinued operations are as follows:

The Company has re-evaluated its’ discontinued operations as of June 30, 2009 in accordance with FAS 144 due to the Company’s remaining discontinued operations being outstanding for more than one year since the declaration to discontinue.

 

The remaining accounts receivable and accounts payable are part of arbitration currently in process and out of the company’s control to settle.  The prepaid taxes are in the process of being recovered from a foreign government, also out of the Company’s control to settle.  The remaining inventory has been marked to market and discounted heavily to adjust for the unforeseen changes in the current economic condition and the market for which the Company sells.  The Company has taken action to reduce their prices to market and aggressively sell their product. Pursuant to FAS 144, p.31, as these are out of the Company’s control, classification as discontinued operations is still deemed appropriate.

 

NOTE 12. Geographic Information

 

The Company currently operates in one business segment.  All fixed assets are located in Company or third party facilities in the United States, Asia and Mexico. The unaudited net sales by geographical area for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 were:

Derivative Action

 

InfoSonics has settled the derivative action purportedly on behalf of the Company against certain of its officers and directors, and the Company as a nominal defendant, captioned In Re InfoSonics Corporation Derivative Litigation, Lead Case No. 06 CV 1336, filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California.  Plaintiffs’ consolidated complaint had alleged claims for violations of Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act, Sections 25402 and 25403 of the California Corporations Code, disgorgement under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, breach of fiduciary duty, abuse of control, gross mismanagement, waste of corporate assets, unjust enrichment, rescission, a constructive trust, and an accounting, in connection with the Company’s restatement of first quarter 2006 earnings and in connection with allegations of wrongdoing with respect to granting, exercising, accounting and reporting of the stock options that the Company granted in December 2005.  On September 4, 2007, the Court granted defendants’ motion to dismiss for failure to make a demand on the board, and also granted with prejudice the motion to dismiss the Sarbanes-Oxley claim.  On October 17, 2008, the parties entered into a Stipulation and Agreement of Settlement (the “Derivative Settlement”), which provides for, among other things, a dismissal with prejudice of the lawsuit, releases of the defendants, corporate governance changes and a payment by the Company or its insurer of plaintiffs’ attorneys fees to be ordered by the Court up to a maximum of $350,000. The Derivative Settlement further provides that defendants deny any liability or responsibility for the claims made and make no admission of any wrongdoing. The Company’s insurer funded the full settlement payment.  On June 3, 2009, the Court approved the settlement and entered the final judgment and order of dismissal with prejudice of the case.

 

The Company has reduced the related other receivables and accrued expenses, in the accompanying balance sheet, by the $4.15 million as of June 30, 2009.

 

We may become involved in certain other legal proceedings and claims which arise in the normal course of business. Other than as described above, as of June 30, 2009, we did not have any significant litigation outstanding.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

Forward-Looking Statements and Other General Information

 

This discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements and condensed notes thereto and other information included in this report and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 (including our 2008 audited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto and other information). InfoSonics Corporation’s (“InfoSonics” or the “Company”) discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations are based upon, among other things, our unaudited consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to, among other things, make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosures of contingent liabilities as of and at the financial statement

date, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. On an ongoing basis, we review our estimates and assumptions. Our estimates are based on our historical experience and other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results are likely to differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions, but we do not believe such differences will materially affect our financial position or results of operations, although they may. Our critical accounting policies, the policies we believe are most important to the presentation of our financial statements and require the most difficult, subjective and complex judgments are outlined below in “Critical Accounting Policies.”  All references to results of operations in this discussion generally are to results from continuing operations, unless otherwise noted.

 

The decision during the second quarter of 2008 to discontinue our operations in Mexico and the U.S., which we continue to implement (although we substantially completed by the end of 2008) and record adjustments required in the financial statements, affected certain amounts of our results of operations and the classifications on the balance sheet, statement of operations and statement of cash flows for prior periods, and as of prior dates, as well as our disclosure in this report, including management’s discussion and analysis.

 

Safe Harbor Statement

 

The matters in this report that are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including, without limitation, statements about future revenues, sales levels, operating income and margins, wireless handset sales, stock-based compensation expense, gain/loss in value of derivatives, cost synergies, operating efficiencies, profitability, market share, and rates of return, are based on current management expectations that involve certain risks and uncertainties.  These risks and uncertainties, in whole or in part, could cause such expectations to fail to be achieved and have a material adverse effect on InfoSonics’ business, financial condition and results of operations, and include, without limitation: (1) intense competition internationally, including competition from alternative business models, such as manufacturer-to-carrier sales, which may lead to reduced prices, lower sales, lower gross margins, extended payment terms with customers, increased capital investment and interest costs, bad debt risks and product supply shortages; (2) dependency on Latin American sales; (3) extended general economic downturn; (4) inability to secure adequate supply of competitive products on a timely basis and on commercially reasonable terms; (5) foreign exchange rate fluctuations, devaluation of a foreign currency, adverse governmental controls or actions, political or economic instability, or disruption of a foreign market, and other related risks of our international operations; (6) the ability to attract new sources of profitable business from expansion of products or services or risks associated with entry into new markets, including geographies, products and services; (7) an interruption or failure of our information systems or subversion of access or other system controls may result in a significant loss of business, assets, or competitive information; (8) significant changes in supplier terms and relationships; (9) termination of a supply or services agreement with a major supplier or product supply shortages; (10) continued consolidation in the wireless handset carrier market; (11) loss of business from one or more significant customers; (12) customer and geographical accounts receivable concentration risk and other related risks; (13) rapid product improvement and technological change resulting in inventory obsolescence; (14) terrorist or military actions; (15) the loss of a key executive officer or other key employees; (16) changes in consumer demand for multimedia wireless handset products and features; (17) our failure to adequately adapt to industry changes and to manage potential growth and/or contractions; (18) seasonal buying patterns; (19) uncertain political and economic conditions internationally; (20) the resolution of any litigation for or against the Company; (21) the ability of the Company to successfully introduce and sell its verykool® products and the related inventory risk of such products; and (22) the ability of the Company to generate taxable income in future periods in order to utilize and realize any quarterly tax benefits recorded.  Our actual results and condition could differ materially from those anticipated in our forward-looking statements.

 

InfoSonics has instituted in the past and continues to institute changes to our strategies, operations and processes to address risks and uncertainties and to mitigate impacts on InfoSonics’ results of operations and financial condition. However, no assurances can be given that InfoSonics will be successful in these efforts. For a further discussion of significant factors to consider concerning InfoSonics, see “Risk Factors” below in this report and “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of InfoSonics’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008. In addition, other risks or uncertainties may be detailed from time to time in InfoSonics’ future SEC filings.

 

Overview

 

We are one of the premier distributors and providers of wireless handsets and accessories in Latin America. We provide end-to-end handset and wireless terminal solutions for carriers in Latin America.   We distribute products of several key original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), including Samsung and others.  We are also involved in the designing, sourcing and distribution of a proprietary line of products under our own verykool® brand, which includes entry level, mid-tier and high-end products.

 

Our distribution and solution services include product testing, approval and certification, warehousing, logistics services (packing, shipping and delivery), marketing campaigns, warranty services and end-user support. These services are provided for OEMs and our verykool® branded wireless handsets and accessories, in order to facilitate sales to network carriers, agents, resellers, distributors, independent dealers and retailers in Central and South America.  In addition, for our verykool® branded products, we design, test and contract with manufacturers to build these products.

Due to seasonal and other factors, our interim financial condition or operating results may not be indicative of the entire fiscal year 2009 or other future financial condition or operating results. Our financial condition and operating results are influenced by several seasonal, general economic and other factors, which may cause our financial condition and operating results to fluctuate on a quarterly basis, including, but not limited to, inventory management and obsolescence, the timing and introduction of new products by our suppliers and competitors, promotions and subsidies by network operators, technical and certification delays by industry bodies as well as operators, purchasing and payment patterns of customers, the timing of holidays, the success of our proprietary verykool® products line and other events affecting our consumers.

 

Areas of Management Focus and Performance Indicators

 

We focus on the needs of our customers, developing and maintaining close relationships with manufacturers, looking to expand in current and enter into new markets, and sourcing and developing new and innovative products, while maintaining close attention to operational efficiencies and costs. We are focused on increasing shipping volumes and improving efficiencies to achieve higher levels of profitability and earnings growth, as well as monitoring and managing levels of accounts receivable and inventory.  We provide distribution and other services for OEMs, such as Samsung, and our own proprietary line of verykool® handsets.  Performance indicators that are important for the monitoring and management of our business include operating and net income, cost of sales and gross margin percentage, operating expenses as a percent of revenues, and overall net sales growth, as well as balances of accounts receivable and inventory. We make extensive use of our customized information system to closely monitor all aspects of our business, including customer relationship management, intelligent purchasing, inventory control, inventory flow, line item margin control for every order, and weighted average cost and statistical data for products, customers and suppliers, as deemed appropriate. We believe a strong focus on providing better service to customers leads to increased customer satisfaction and retention and potential increases in sales.

 

Management spends a significant amount of time traveling to Latin America and Asia with the purpose of spending time with key customers, suppliers and employees. We believe that these relationships are vital to our success, and we will continue to dedicate a significant amount of time to this area.

 

Industry Trends and Risks

 

According to a June 2009 report by Cowen and Company, overall worldwide wireless handset sales increased by approximately 6% in 2008.  However, they are forecasted to decrease in 2009 by 8%, before returning to growth in 2010 and 2011, with growth estimated at 7% and 4%, respectively. A rapid decline in wireless handset sales in the Central and South American markets we serve has and could continue to negatively impact our net sales. Excess supply conditions and the current economic downturn have and may continue to reduce demand for our products and reduce the market prices of the products we sell and therefore affect our ability to generate net sales, margins and gross profit at expected levels and could continue to affect the value of our inventory, as well as customer payment trends. For example, the second half of 2008 and the first quarter of 2009 generally saw a decrease in handset demand globally as well as in our sales regions and an increase in carrier inventory, which both had a negative impact on our financial results during 2008 and the first quarter of 2009.  The second quarter of 2009 began to see these impacts reducing in the regions we serve.   Conversely, should manufacturers be unable to respond to an unanticipated increase in demand on a timely basis, we, along with others in our industry, could experience supply constraints that would affect our ability to deliver products. We are unable to quantify these effects, as it is difficult to predict future supply conditions and demand patterns which affect our ability to meet customer demand or sell handsets at an acceptable gross profit.

 

During the second half of 2008 and the first half of 2009 in particular, our industry was impacted by the economic slowdown impacting the United States and the rest of the world.  We believe that some of the countries in the regions we operate, particularly in Central America, have close economic relations with the United States, and have been impacted by this economic situation.  We believe this impacted consumer demand for wireless handsets in some of the countries we operate, and therefore our overall operations, including net sales, during the first quarter of 2009 were adversely impacted.  The second quarter of 2009 began to see a minor increase in the demand for handsets, which positively impacted our results for the quarter.

 

Company Specific Trends and Risks

 

Our long-term strategy incorporates overall market growth elements for our business, which we hope will result in future growth as global economic conditions recover. Our verykool® proprietary line of products, for which we had several models selling as of June 30, 2009, continued to show orders and sales during the first six months of 2009 and is expected to become an increasing part of our overall business in the future.

Table of Contents

 

Our verykool® products continue to increase product diversification in Central and South America, which we believe should continue to be beneficial as we move forward and work towards continued profitability.  We have control over the verykool® line of products, whereas for OEM products we perform distribution and other services as needed.  On a sequential quarterly and year-over-year basis, we were able to increase our gross margins to 6.6% for the quarter ended June 30, 2009, compared to 5.5% for the quarter ended June 30, 2008.  These results were primarily due to product mix shift, including increased sales of higher-margin products (including our verykool® products), better product sourcing for our verykool® line of products and beneficial purchasing opportunities.

 

Recent Events

 

On July 7, 2009, we received notification from the NASDAQ Listing Qualifications Department that we had regained compliance with the $1.00 minimum bid price requirement under Listing Rule 5450(a)(1) (formerly Marketplace Rule 4450(a)(5)) and the matter from the prior notification  on  July 10, 2008 was now closed.  On July 10, 2008, we received a Nasdaq Staff Deficiency letter indicating that for the last 30 consecutive business days the bid price for our common stock had closed below the $1.00 minimum bid requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Stock Market under Marketplace Rule 4450(a)(5).

Net Sales

 

For the three months ended June 30, 2009, our net sales from continuing operations of $61.7 million increased 5% compared to our net sales from continuing operations of $59.0 million for the same period of 2008.  Average selling price of wireless handsets sold in the second quarter of 2009 increased 10%, as compared to the second quarter of 2008, due primarily to increased volume of higher-priced handsets, including some of our verykool® and OEM products.  This increase was in conjunction with a 3% increase in overall wireless handset sales volume.  The geographic mix of net sales shifted in the second quarter of 2009 as sales in South America increased to more than 91% of net sales, as compared to 69% of net sales for the second quarter of 2008.  Sales in Central America decreased to 9% of total net sales in the quarter ended June 30, 2009, as compared to 31% in the quarter ended June 30, 2008.  These regional shifts in net sales were the result of the factors discussed below.

In South and Central America, we have continued to work to expand our customer base as well as our geographic presence by seeking additional customers and further business with existing customers.  In addition, we have continued efforts to market and sell our proprietary verykool® line of products in South and Central America.  In South America, net sales were $56.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2009, a 23% increase from the same quarter in 2008.  This increase was primarily due to increased sales in existing countries where we sell products, primarily Argentina.  In Central America, net sales decreased 58% to $5.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2009, which was primarily due to the continuing unusually low demand during the quarter, which we believe was related to the worldwide and regional economic downturn.  The second quarter of 2009 showed improvement from the first quarter of 2009.

Cost of Sales, Gross Profit and Gross Margin

 

For the quarter ended June 30, 2009, cost of sales was $57.6 million, or 93.4% of net sales, and gross margin was 6.6%, as compared with $55.8 million, or 94.5% of net sales, and 5.5% for gross margin for the quarter ended June 30, 2008. The increase in our cost of sales and increase in gross margin were due to product mix shift, including increased sales of higher-margin products (including our verykool® products), better product sourcing for our verykool® line of products and beneficial purchasing opportunities.

 

For the quarter ended June 30, 2009, our gross profit increased to $4.1 million from $3.2 million, as compared with the same quarter last year, a increase of 26%. This increase in gross profit was primarily the result of the increased net sales and by the factors which increased our gross margin as described above.

Operating Expense and Operating Income from Continuing Operations

 

For the quarter ended June 30, 2009, operating expense increased 11%, as compared with the same quarter last year.  As a percentage of net sales from continuing operations, operating expense increased to 5.8% in the quarter ended June 30, 2009, as compared with 5.4% for the same quarter last year.  The increase in operating expense as a percentage of net sales was primarily due to the increase in total net sales.  However, management took action to reduce overall operational costs to match current market conditions.  Management continues to review expenses in an effort to better match the operational costs with the future business opportunities.   We believe such measures will assist us as we strive to maintain profitability in the current volatile market.

 

For the quarter ended June 30, 2009, our operating income from continuing operations was $513,000, as compared with operating income from continuing operations of $10,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2008. As a percentage of net sales, operating income from continuing operations was 0.8% for the quarter ended June 30, 2009, compared to a virtual break-even for the quarter ended June 30, 2008. The increase in operating income from continuing operations was a result of the increase in gross margin and gross profit due to the factors discussed above.

Other Expense

 

During the second quarter of 2009, we incurred $109,000 of interest expense, compared to $335,000 for the same period last year, primarily due to a lower average outstanding balance on our line of credit, resulting from, among other things, lower inventory levels as compared to the same period in the prior year.  We expect to continue to regularly utilize amounts on our revolving line of credit, which will impact our interest expense in future periods depending on applicable interest rates, among other things.

Income (Loss) from Continuing Operations (Before Income Taxes)

 

During the quarter ended June 30, 2009, our net income from continuing operations before income taxes was $404,000, as compared to a loss of $315,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2008.  This net income from continuing operations was primarily due to the increased gross margin and gross profit discussed above.

 

Loss from Discontinued Operations (Net of Tax)

 

During the quarter ended June 30, 2008, we assessed opportunities in the United States and Mexico, and began to implement actions necessary to close sales operations in both of those countries, which we continued to execute in the second quarter of 2009.  For the quarter ended June 30, 2009, we incurred a loss from discontinued operations of approximately $167,000, as compared to a loss of $2.1 million from discontinued operations for the quarter ended June 30, 2008.  The loss from discontinued operations resulted as we continued to wind down our business in the United States and Mexico. As of June 30, 2009, our plans for the discontinued operations were substantially complete.  However, we expect to continue to record adjustments and expenses through the discontinued operations, as necessary.

Net Sales

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2009, our net sales from continuing operations of $104.3 million decreased 18% compared to our net sales from continuing operations of $126.9 million for the same period of 2008.  Average selling price of wireless handsets sold in the six months ended June 30, 2009 increased 15%, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2008, due primarily to increased volume of higher-priced handsets, including some of our verykool® and OEM products.  This increase was more than offset by a 24% decrease in overall wireless handset sales volume, primarily due to the impact of the worsening economic slowdown in the markets we serve during the second half of 2008 and the first and second quarters of 2009.  The geographic mix of net sales shifted in the six months ended June 30, 2009 as sales in South America increased to nearly 92% of net sales, as compared to nearly 73% of net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2008.  Sales in Central America decreased to 8% of total net sales in the six months ended June 30, 2009, as compared to 27% in the same period of 2008.  These regional shifts in net sales were the result of the factors discussed both above and below.

In South and Central America, we have continued to work to expand our customer base as well as our geographic presence by seeking additional customers and further business with existing customers.  In addition, we continued efforts to market and sell our proprietary verykool® line of products in South and Central America.  In South America, net sales were $95.6 million for the period ended June 30, 2009, a 4% increase from the same period in 2008.  This increase was primarily due to increased sales in existing countries, primarily Argentina.  In Central America, net sales decreased 75% to $8.7 million for the period ended June 30, 2009, which was primarily due to the continuing unusually low demand during the period, which we believe was related to the worldwide and regional economic downturn.

Cost of Sales, Gross Profit and Gross Margin

 

For the period ended June 30, 2009, cost of sales was $96.9 million, or 92.9% of net sales, and gross margin was 7.1%, as compared with $120.2 million, or 94.6% of net sales, and 5.4% for gross margin for the period ended June 30, 2008. The decrease in our cost of sales as a percentage of net sales and increase in gross margin were due to product mix shift, including increased sales of higher-margin products (including our verykool® products), better product sourcing for our verykool® line of products and beneficial purchasing opportunities.

 

For the period ended June 30, 2009, our gross profit increased to $7.4 million from $6.8 million, as compared with the same period last year, an increase of 9%. This increase in gross profit was primarily the result of the increased gross margin as described above.

Operating Expense and Operating Income (Loss) from Continuing Operations

 

For the period ended June 30, 2009, operating expense decreased 7%, as compared with the same period last year.  As a percentage of net sales from continuing operations, operating expense increased to 6.2% in the period ended June 30, 2009, as compared with 5.4% for the same period last year.  The increase in operating expense as a percentage of net sales was primarily due to the decrease in total net sales.  However, management took action to reduce overall operational costs to match current market conditions, resulting in a 7% decrease in operating expense for the period.  Management continues to review expenses in an effort to better match the operational costs with the future business opportunities.   We believe such measures will assist us as we strive to maintain profitability in the current volatile market.

Table of Contents

 

For the period ended June 30, 2009, our operating income from continuing operations was $991,000, as compared with operating loss from continuing operations of $94,000 for the period ended June 30, 2008. As a percentage of net sales, operating income from continuing operations was 0.9% for the period ended June 30, 2009, compared to an operating loss from continuing operations of 0.1% for the period ended June 30, 2008. The increase in operating income from continuing operations was a result of the increase in gross margin and gross profit as well as the decrease in operating expense due to the factors discussed above.

Other Expense

 

During the period ended June 30, 2009, we incurred $137,000 of interest expense, compared to $524,000 for the same period last year, primarily due to a lower average outstanding balance on our line of credit, resulting from, among other things, lower inventory levels as compared to the same period in the prior year.  We expect to continue to regularly utilize amounts on our revolving line of credit, which will impact our interest expense in future periods depending on applicable interest rates, among other things.

Income (Loss) from Continuing Operations (Before Income Taxes)

 

During the period ended June 30, 2009, our net income from continuing operations before income taxes was $854,000, as compared to a loss of $608,000 for the period ended June 30, 2008.  This net income from continuing operations was primarily due to the increased gross margin and decreased operating expense as discussed above.

 

Loss from Discontinued Operations (Net of Tax)

 

During the quarter ended June 30, 2008, we assessed opportunities in the United States and Mexico, and began to implement actions necessary to close sales operations in both of those countries, which we continued to execute in the first and second quarter of 2009.  For the period ended June 30, 2009, we incurred a loss from discontinued operations of approximately $360,000, as compared to a loss of $2.2 million from discontinued operations for the period ended June 30, 2008.  The loss from discontinued operations resulted as we continued to wind down our business in the United States and Mexico. As of June 30, 2009, our plans for the discontinued operations were substantially complete.  However, we expect to continue to record adjustments and expenses through the discontinued operations, as necessary.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

We generally use cash from our sale of products, lines of credit (bank and vendor) and the sale and exercise of securities (from time to time) to provide capital needed to support our business.  As of June 30, 2009, we did not have any material commitments for capital expenditures, as well we believe that we have sufficient liquidity (cash and available borrowings) to continue our operations for the next 12 months.

 

Cash Used in Operating Activities

 

At June 30, 2009, we had $15.5 million in cash, a decrease of $9.2 million from December 31, 2008.  During the six months ended June 30, 2009, we used cash and continued to leverage our bank line of credit to fund our operations.  The increase in our use of the bank line of credit was directly related to the decrease in our use of vendor lines of credit and our taking advantage of purchase discounts, as well as significantly increased levels of accounts receivable during the six months ended June 30, 2009.   The net cash used in operating activities was $25.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to net cash provided from operating activities of $3.8 million for the period ended June 30, 2008.  The change resulted primarily from significantly increased accounts receivable and decreased accounts payable.  Trade accounts receivable increased by $29.0 million from December 31, 2008 which was offset by a decrease in other accounts receivable by $3.6 million.  The increase in accounts receivable was primarily due to the sales activity towards the later part of the period and the standard payment terms of sales we provide our customers.  Inventory increased by $0.5 million and prepaid inventory increased by $0.1 million from December 31, 2008, resulting in a negligible net impact.  Accounts payable at June 30, 2009 decreased $1.1 million, compared to December 31, 2008, primarily due to our taking advantage of beneficial purchasing terms offered by other vendors and partners in the ordinary course during the period.

 

Days of Sales Outstanding

 

Days of sales outstanding (the average number of days it takes to collect revenue after a sale is made) at June 30, 2009 was 65 days, compared with 56 days at December 31, 2008.  This increase was due to several customers making payments shortly after the close of the second quarter of 2009, as more than 75% of our accounts receivable at June 30, 2009 were still within current terms provided to our customers.  Normal payment terms require our customers to pay on a net 30-day or net 60-day basis depending on the customer. We are constantly working with our customers to reduce our days of sales outstanding. The extension of net 60-day terms is required to remain competitive in the regions we currently operate, Central and South America. In an effort to obtain new customers and penetrate new markets, we may offer terms beyond our normal terms.

 

Cash Used in Investing Activities

 

The net cash used in investing activities was $51,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to net cash used of $3,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2008. This use of cash continued to be primarily the result of our investment related to geographic expansion, tooling and molds for our proprietary verykool® products.

 

Cash Provided by Financing Activities

 

The net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2009 of $16.7 million was primarily the result of borrowings on our bank line of credit, which was partially offset by the net purchase of $483,000 of common stock.  The net cash used by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2008 of $8.6 million was primarily used to make payments on our line of credit, which was partially offset by cash received from the exercise of stock options.

 

Working Capital

 

Our net working capital at June 30, 2009 was $25.7 million, as compared with $25.6 million at December 31, 2008. This slight increase was primarily due to the increase in accounts receivable and the decreases in accounts payable and accrued expenses offset by a decrease in cash and cash equivalents and an increase in amounts drawn on our line of credit.

 

Borrowings

 

On April 30, 2008, the Company entered into a Loan, Security and Bulk Purchase Agreement and a Letter of Credit and Security Agreement (collectively, the “Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Century, Inc. (the Lender), replacing the then existing asset-based secured credit facility with Wells Fargo HSBC Trade Bank, N.A.  Pursuant to the Agreement, the Lender may advance up to $45,000,000 to the Company based on the expected collections of eligible receivables as well as value of the Company’s eligible inventory determined in accordance with the Agreement.  The outstanding advances may not exceed the lesser of (i) $45,000,000 or (ii) the sum of the value of the eligible receivables and eligible inventory multiplied by their respective advance rates as set forth in the Agreement.  At June 30, 2009, the majority of our debt was based on foreign accounts receivable a majority of which is insured.  This credit facility has a two-year term ending April 2010 and is secured by all of the assets of the Company. The interest rate for each borrowing under the credit facility is, at the option of the Company, either the Wells Fargo Bank N.A. prime rate minus 0.50% (3.25% less 0.50%  at June 30, 2009) or the LIBOR rate plus 2.00% (0.62% plus 2.00% at June 30, 2009)At June 30, 2009, the amount drawn against the Lender line of credit was $31,476,001 of the total amount available at June 30, 2009 of $35,730,635.  As of June 30, 2009, the Company was in compliance with the covenants of the credit facility.

Table of Contents

 

We have no other notes payable.

 

At June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the amount drawn against the Lender line of credit was $31.5 million and $14.3 million, respectively.  Credit lines have been an important part of operating and growing our business, and market changes affecting accounts receivable have, and will in the future, diminish or increase the borrowing base of available funds under our current credit line. At June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, advances were at 88% and 96% of the available borrowing base.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

We believe the following critical accounting policies are important to the presentation of our financial condition and operating results, and require management’s judgments to make assumptions and estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain.

 

Revenue Recognition and Allowance for Returns

 

Revenues for wireless handset and accessory sales are recognized when (i) shipment of the products to customers has occurred and title has passed, (ii) when collection of the outstanding receivables is probable and (iii) the final price of the products is determined, which occurs at the time of shipment. Sales are recorded net of discounts, rebates, cooperative arrangements (marketing, training and promotional funds), returns, and allowances. Consideration is given on select sales for cooperative arrangements related to market development, training and special promotions, usually agreed upon in advance. The amount given is generally in the form of a credit memo, which is applied as a reduction of the sale price and such amount is recorded as a current liability. Expenditures made pursuant to the agreed upon activity reduce this liability. To the extent that we incur costs in excess of the established cooperative fund, we recognize that amount as a selling or marketing expense. As part of the sales process, we may perform certain value added services such as programming, software loading and quality assurance testing. These value added services are considered an ancillary component of the sales process and amounts attributable to these processes are included in the unit cost to the customer. Furthermore, these value added services are related to services prior to the shipment of the products, and no value added services are provided after delivery of the products. We recognize a reserve against the related receivables estimates for product returns based on historical experience and other judgmental factors. We evaluate these estimates on an on-going basis and adjust the estimates each period based on actual product return activity. We recognize freight costs billed to our customers in revenue and actual freight costs incurred as a component of cost of sale.

 

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

 

We recognize allowance for doubtful accounts based on the length of time the receivables are past due, the current business environment and our historical experience.  Credit evaluations are undertaken for all major sales transactions before shipment is authorized. Normal payment terms require payment on a net 30 or 60-day basis depending on the customer. On an ongoing basis, we analyze the payment history of customer accounts, including recent customer purchases. We evaluate aged items in accounts receivable and provide reserves for doubtful accounts. Customer creditworthiness and economic conditions may change, including increasing the risk of collectability and sales returns, and may require additional provisions, which could negatively impact our operating results.  Such was the case during 2008, as we adjusted some of our inventory levels down.

 

Inventory Write-Off and Effect on Gross Margin

 

We regularly monitor inventory quantities on hand and record a provision for excess and obsolete inventories based primarily on historical usage rates and our estimated forecast of product demand for a period of time, generally three months. Because of obsolescence, we will generally provide a full reserve for the costs of our inventories in excess of our relevant demand forecast for the applicable period. We attempt to control our inventory levels so that we limit inventories in excess of demand for the succeeding several months. However, because we need to place non-cancelable orders with significant lead time and because it is difficult to estimate product demand, we sometimes build inventories in excess of demand for the applicable future periods. If this occurs, we provide a reserve, which may have a negative impact on our reported results of operations and financial condition.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

 

The primary objective of the following information is to provide forward-looking quantitative and qualitative information about our potential exposure to market risks. The term “market risk” for us refers to the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in interest rates and various foreign currencies. The disclosures are not meant to be precise indicators of expected future losses, but rather indicators of reasonably possible losses. This forward-looking information provides indicators of how we view and manage our ongoing market risk exposures.

 

Interest Rate

 

We are exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates on our outstanding revolving line of credit. At June 30, 2009, we had $31.5 million outstanding under our line of credit, which could be affected by changes in short-term interest rates. Under our current credit facility, the interest rate for funds borrowed is, at our option, of the Wells Fargo prime rate minus 0.5% (3.25% minus 0.5% at June 30, 2009) or the LIBOR rate plus 2.00% (0.62% plus 2.00% at June 30, 2009). For every 1% increase in Wells Fargo’s prime rate or the LIBOR rate, our interest expense increases by $315,000 annually assuming $31.5 million remained outstanding for the entire year.

 

The above sensitivity analysis for interest-rate risk excludes accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities because of the short-term maturity of such instruments. The analysis does not consider the effect interest-rate movement may have on other variables relating to our business, including changes in sales volumes that could be indirectly attributed to changes in interest rates. The actions that we would take in response to such a change are also not considered. If it were possible to quantify this impact, the results could differ from the sensitivity effects shown above.

 

Market Risk

 

Almost all portions of our revenue and expenses are transacted in markets outside the United States.  However, all sales transactions and accounts receivable are denominated in U.S. dollars. As a result of our international sales (at this time, Latin America), our future operating results could be adversely affected by a variety of factors, including changes in specific countries’ political, economic or regulatory conditions, and trade protection measures.  Our market risk management includes an accounts receivable insurance policy for our sales.  However, there can be no assurance that our insurance policy will substantially offset the impact of fluctuations in currency exchange rates, political, economic or regulatory conditions on our results of operations and financial position. We do not believe that foreign currency fluctuations had a material impact on our financial results during the three and six months ended June 30, 2009.   See “Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Operations” in our financial statements included in this report.

 

Item 4T. Controls and Procedures

 

Disclosure Controls

 

An evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and President and the Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(b).  Based on the evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and President and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during our second fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2009, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

 

Securities Class Actions

 

InfoSonics has settled the securities class action against the Company and certain of its officers and directors, captioned In Re: InfoSonics Corporation Securities Litigation, Lead Case No. 06 CV 1231, filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California.  Plaintiffs’ third amended consolidated complaint had alleged violations of Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act and associated Rule 10b-5, Section 20(a) and Section 20A in connection with the announcement of the Company’s restatement of first quarter 2006 earnings and in connection with allegedly false and/or misleading statements related to the Company’s distribution of the VK Mobile phone.  On October 17, 2008, the parties entered a Stipulation and Agreement of Settlement (the “Securities Settlement”) of the case, which provides for, among other things, a dismissal with prejudice of the lawsuit, releases of the defendants, and a payment by the Company or its insurer of $3.8 million to plaintiffs (inclusive of any plaintiffs’ attorneys fees, to be determined by the Court).  The Securities Settlement further provides that defendants deny any liability or responsibility for the claims made and make no admission of any wrongdoing.  On February 10, 2009, the Company’s insurer funded the full settlement payment.  On May 5, 2009, the Court entered an order finally approving the Securities Settlement as fair and reasonable, and directing the clerk to enter final judgment and dismissing the action with prejudice.

 

Derivative Action

 

InfoSonics has settled the derivative action purportedly on behalf of the Company against certain of its officers and directors, and the Company as a nominal defendant, captioned In Re InfoSonics Corporation Derivative Litigation, Lead Case No. 06 CV 1336, filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California.  Plaintiffs’ consolidated complaint had alleged claims for violations of Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act, Sections 25402 and 25403 of the California Corporations Code, disgorgement under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, breach of fiduciary duty, abuse of control, gross mismanagement, waste of corporate assets, unjust enrichment, rescission, a constructive trust, and an accounting, in connection with the Company’s restatement of first quarter 2006 earnings and in connection with allegations of wrongdoing with respect to granting, exercising, accounting and reporting of the stock options that the Company granted in December 2005.  On September 4, 2007, the Court granted defendants’ motion to dismiss for failure to make a demand on the board, and also granted with prejudice the motion to dismiss the Sarbanes-Oxley claim.  On October 17, 2008, the parties entered into a Stipulation and Agreement of Settlement (the “Derivative Settlement”), which provides for, among other things, a dismissal with prejudice of the lawsuit, releases of the defendants, corporate governance changes and a payment by the Company or its insurer of plaintiffs’ attorneys fees to be ordered by the Court up to a maximum of $350,000. The Derivative Settlement further provides that defendants deny any liability or responsibility for the claims made and make no admission of any wrongdoing. The Company’s insurer funded the full settlement payment.  On June 3, 2009, the Court approved the settlement and entered the final judgment and order of dismissal with prejudice of the case.

 

We may become involved in certain other legal proceedings and claims which arise in the normal course of business. Other than as described above, as of June 30, 2009, we did not have any significant litigation outstanding.

 

LG Electronics Litigation

 

On July 1, 2009, the Company filed suit in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of San Diego (the Superior Court) (Case No. 37-2009-00092797-CU-BT-CTL) against LG Electronics, Inc., LG Electronics USA, Inc., LG Electronics Panama S.A., LG Electronics Inc.

Item 1A.  Risk Factors

 

In addition to the risk factors included below and other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in “Part I. Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008, which factors and information could materially affect our business, financial condition or operating results. The risk factors and uncertainties described in our last Annual Report on Form 10-K and this report are not the only risks and uncertainties facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially affect our business, financial condition or operating results.  Except as set forth below, there have been no material changes to the risk factors included in our last Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Table of Contents

 

Despite being profitable in the first two quarters of 2009, we have recently experienced net losses and net losses may reoccur in the near future. If we operate at a loss, our business may not be financially viable.

 

Although we had net income for the first and second quarter of 2009, we experienced losses and negative cash flows for the year ended 2008.  As of June 30, 2009, we had working capital of $25.7 million.  Given the economic slowdown and contraction in the wider markets, including the Central and South American markets that we serve and generally globally, we cannot adequately evaluate the financial viability of our business or our long-term prospects.

 

To maintain profitability, we must, among other things:

 

·              Continue to increase gross profits while controlling operational expenses;

·              Generate sales and consumer demand for our verykool® products; and

·              Continue to work with our OEM vendors for increased margin opportunities.

 

If we do not succeed in these objectives, our business, among other things, might experience losses again and may not be sustainable in the future.

 

We have outstanding indebtedness, which is secured by substantially all our assets and could prevent us from borrowing additional funds, if needed.

 

As of June 30, 2009, we had outstanding debt in the amount of $31.5 million under a receivables-based credit facility. Under this credit facility, which expires in April 2010, Wells Fargo Century, Inc. may advance us up to $45,000,000 based on the expected collections of eligible receivables as well as the value of our eligible inventory as determined in accordance with the terms of the facility. Any significant decrease in our level of eligible accounts receivable or inventory will reduce our ability to borrow additional funds under the credit facility and may affect our ability to adequately finance our operations and expansion strategies. Further, if we violate our loan covenants, default on our obligations or become subject to a change of control, our indebtedness would become immediately due and payable. In addition, the terms of our credit facility restrict us from incurring certain additional indebtedness, which could limit our ability to expand our operations. Some of our loan covenants subject us to, among other things, limits on our ability to sell certain assets and make certain payments, including, but not limited to, dividends, repurchases of common stock and other payments outside the normal course of business, as well as prohibits us regarding merging or consolidating with another corporation or selling all or substantially all of our assets.  As of June 30, 2009, the Company was in compliance with the covenants of the credit facility.  If any of these adverse events occur or we are unable to renew our new credit facility or enter into an adequate credit relationship as needed, our business’ financial condition or operating results could be negatively affected.

 

We buy a significant amount of our products from a limited number of suppliers, who may not provide us with competitive products at reasonable prices when we need them in the future.

 

We purchase wireless handsets and accessories principally from wireless communications OEMs and distributors. We depend on these suppliers to provide us with adequate inventories of currently popular brand name products on a timely basis and on favorable pricing and other terms, as well as on these suppliers’ quality products and services and financial stability. For the period ended June 30, 2009, one vendor, (Samsung Electronics de Amazonia, S.A.), accounted for 91%, of our total cost of sales.  We currently have one exclusive and several non-exclusive agreements with our principal suppliers, which can be terminated on short notice and provide for certain territorial restrictions. Our suppliers may not offer us competitive products on favorable terms or with timely delivery. In addition, new products from other manufacturers could impact the demand for products from manufacturers we represent. From time to time, we have been unable to obtain sufficient product supplies. Any failure or delay by our suppliers, particularly our one primary vendor, in supplying us with products on favorable terms may severely diminish our ability to obtain and deliver products to our customers on a timely and competitive basis. If we lose any of our principal suppliers, or if these suppliers are unable to fulfill our product needs, or if any principal supplier imposes substantial price increases and alternative sources of supply are not readily available, it would have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

 

The loss or reduction in orders from principal customers or a reduction in prices we are able to charge these customers will have a negative impact upon our revenues and could cause our stock price to decline.

 

Our three largest customers (carriers in South America) in the period ended June 30, 2009 represented 31%, 25% and 24% of our net sales during that period.  These customers are carriers in Latin America. The markets we serve are subject to significant price competition. Additionally, our customers are not contractually obligated to purchase products from us. For these and other reasons, such as competitive pricing and competitive pressures, customers may seek to obtain products or services from us at lower prices than we have been able to obtain from these customers in the past. This could occur, for example, in the case of a customer purchasing large quantities of a product from us, who then terminates this relationship because the customer can obtain a lower price by buying directly from the manufacturer or other supplier. The loss of any of our principal customers, a reduction in the amount of product or

services our principal customers order from us or the inability to maintain current terms, including price, with these or other customers could have an adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and liquidity. In addition, we have experienced losses of certain customer bases through industry consolidation and in the ordinary course of business.  Overall, there can be no assurance that any of our customers will continue to purchase products or services from us or that their purchases will be at the same or greater levels than in prior periods, with any such customer decisions having the potential to adversely affect our business operations and profitability.

 

Almost all of our revenues will be generated outside of the United States in countries that may have volatile currencies or other risks in the foreseeable future.

 

We now engage in all of our significant sales activities in territories and countries outside of the United States, specifically in Latin American countries.  All our sales transactions are completed in U.S. dollars and therefore may be impacted by changes in the strength of the U.S. dollar. Further, the fact that we distribute a substantial amount of our products into a number of territories and countries other than the United States exposes us to, among other things, increased credit risks, customs duties, import quotas and other trade restrictions, potentially greater and more unpredictable inflationary and currency pressures, and shipping delays. Changes may occur in social, political, regulatory and economic conditions or in laws and policies governing foreign trade and investment in the territories and countries where we currently distribute products. United States laws and regulations relating to investment and trade in foreign countries could also change to our detriment. Any of these factors could have material adverse effects on our business and operations. Also, although we purchase and sell products and services in U.S. dollars and do not engage in exchange swaps, futures or options contracts or other hedging techniques, fluctuations in currency exchange rates could reduce demand for products sold in U.S. dollars. We cannot predict the effect that future exchange rate fluctuations will have on our operating results or financial position. We may in the future engage in currency hedging transactions, which could result in our incurring significant additional financial risks, including expenses and losses.

 

Our ability to maintain future profitability depends on our ability to maintain and increase existing margins, including through increased net sales, which we may not be able to do.

 

The gross margins that we realize on sales of wireless handsets may not increase or could be reduced due to, among other things, increased competition and a growing industry and customer emphasis on cost containment, thereby negatively affecting our ability to remain profitable.  Our ability to obtain future profitability will continue to depend on our ability to increase our margins through increased sales (either through a higher volume of sales of wireless handset products or a higher average price per wireless handset product) or lower our cost of sales. However, we may not be able to increase existing margins for products or services we offer. Our ability to generate sales is based on demand for wireless handset products that we can deliver and our having an adequate supply of these products to cover demand. Even if our sales rates increase, the gross margins that we receive from our sales may not be sufficient to make our future operations profitable as our cost of sales may increase at higher rates. For example, in 2008, although we had higher sales, we did not have operating income from continuing operations due to lower gross margins, as well as, among other things, higher operating expenses. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to improve gross margins, including increasing sales, or do so in a profitable manner in the future.

 

We may be delisted from The NASDAQ Stock Market if we do not satisfy continued listing requirements.

 

Between January 1, 2008 and August 7, 2009, our common stock share price fluctuated between $0.10 and $2.51 per share, and on August 7, 2009 it closed at $1.87.  On July 10, 2008, we received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of The NASDAQ Stock Market indicating that for the then-last 30 consecutive trading days, the bid price for our common stock had closed below the minimum $1.00 per share requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Stock Market under Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4450(a)(5).  However, on July 7, 2009, we received a letter from The NASDAQ Stock Market indicating that we had regained compliance with the $1.00 minimum bid price requirement under Listing Rule 5450(a)(1)(formerly Marketplace Rule 4450(a)(5)) and the matter noted in the July 10, 2008 letter was closed.  Even though we currently satisfy the continued listing standards of The NASDAQ Global Market, if in the future we fail to comply with the continued listing standards of The NASDAQ Global Market, including the minimum bid price requirement, our common stock would be delisted from that market.

 

If we are delisted from The NASDAQ Global Market, we may apply to transfer our common stock to The NASDAQ Capital Market.  However, our application may not be granted if we do not satisfy the applicable listing requirements for The NASDAQ Capital Market at the time of the application.  Even if we successfully transfer our common stock to The NASDAQ Capital Market, but are unable to satisfy the minimum bid price requirement or any of the other continued listing standards of The NASDAQ Capital Market, our common stock would be delisted from The NASDAQ Capital Market.

If our common stock were delisted from The NASDAQ Stock Market, you may find it difficult to dispose of your shares and our share price may be adversely affected.

 

If our common stock were to be delisted from The NASDAQ Global Market and we could not satisfy the listing standards of The NASDAQ Capital Market, trading of our common stock most likely would be conducted in the over-the-counter market on an electronic bulletin board established for unlisted securities such as the Pink Sheets or the OTC Bulletin Board.  Such trading would reduce the market liquidity of our common stock.  As a result, an investor would find it more difficult to dispose of, or obtain accurate quotations for the price of, our common stock, thereby negatively impacting the share price of our common stock.

 

If our common stock is delisted from The NASDAQ Global Market and we could not satisfy the listing standards of The NASDAQ Capital Market and the trading price remains below $5.00 per share, trading in our common stock might also become subject to the requirements of certain rules promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which require additional disclosure by broker-dealers in connection with any trade involving a stock defined as a “penny stock” (generally, any equity security not listed on a national securities exchange or quoted on The NASDAQ Stock Market that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions). Many brokerage firms are reluctant to recommend low-priced stocks to their clients. Moreover, various regulations and policies restrict the ability of shareholders to borrow against or “margin” low-priced stocks, and declines in the stock price below certain levels may trigger unexpected margin calls. Additionally, because brokers’ commissions on low-priced stocks generally represent a higher percentage of the stock price than commissions on higher priced stocks, the current price of the common stock can result in an individual shareholder paying transaction costs that represent a higher percentage of total share value than would be the case if our share price were higher. This factor may also limit the willingness of institutions to purchase our common stock. Finally, the additional burdens imposed upon broker-dealers by these requirements could discourage broker-dealers from facilitating trades in our common stock, which could severely limit the market liquidity of the stock and the ability of investors to trade our common stock, thereby negatively impacting the share price of our common stock.
