NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
(Unaudited)
Note 1 Basis of Presentation
The interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of Imation Corp. (Imation, the
Company, we, us or our) are unaudited but, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments
necessary for a fair statement of financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the
periods presented. Except as otherwise disclosed herein, these adjustments consist of normal,
recurring items. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of
full year results. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes are presented in
accordance with the requirements for Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and do not contain certain
information included in our annual Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes.
The preparation of the interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the interim Condensed Consolidated
Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses for the reporting periods.
Despite our intention to establish accurate estimates and use reasonable assumptions, actual
results may differ from our estimates.
The December 31, 2008 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet data was derived from the audited
Consolidated Financial Statements but does not include all disclosures required by accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America. This Form 10-Q should be read in
conjunction with our Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes included in our Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008. All subsequent events have been evaluated through
August 7, 2009, the date at which these financial statements were issued.
Note 2 Weighted Average Basic and Diluted Shares Outstanding
Basic earnings per share is calculated using the weighted average number of shares outstanding
for the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed on the basis of the weighted average basic
shares outstanding plus the dilutive effect of our stock-based compensation plans using the
treasury stock method. The following table sets forth the computation of the weighted average
basic and diluted shares outstanding:

| 0.1 | | 0.1 | ||||||||||||
Weighted average number of diluted shares outstanding during the period |
37.5 | 37.5 | 37.5 | 37.7 | ||||||||||||
Options to purchase approximately 4,832,000 and 4,510,000 shares for the three and six month
periods ended June 30 2009, respectively, were anti-dilutive and, therefore, were not included in
the computation of diluted shares outstanding. Options to purchase approximately 3,627,000 and
3,313,000 shares for the three and six month periods ended June 30 2008, respectively, were
anti-dilutive and, therefore, were not included in the computation of diluted shares outstanding.

(1) | As part of our restructuring programs, we ended operations and exited our Anaheim, California distribution center as well as our Camarillo, California manufacturing facility, which are being actively marketed for sale. We met the plan of sale criteria in Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. Accordingly, the book value of the building and property was transferred in the quarter ended September 30, 2008 into other current assets, and is no longer being depreciated. During the three months ended June 30, 2009, we determined the fair value of the Anaheim facility less estimated costs to sell was less than the recorded cost. As such, we recorded an impairment of $2.3 million to reduce the book value to the fair value less estimated costs to sell the facility. |

We perform our annual test for goodwill impairment as of November 30th each year. Based on the
assessment completed during the fourth quarter of 2008, we recorded $34.7 million of goodwill
impairment, with goodwill of $23.5 million remaining in the Electronic Products reporting unit.
Based on our Electronic Products reporting unit results, we believe that there is no impairment at
June 30, 2009. However, due to the ongoing uncertainty in market conditions which may continue to
negatively impact our market value of this reporting unit, we will continue to monitor and evaluate
the carrying value of goodwill and our intangible assets. If our 2009 and future performance for
this reporting unit is not equal to or greater than our planned expectations, there is an increased
likelihood the $23.5 million of goodwill in this reporting unit could be impaired.

Total stock-based compensation expense recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of
Operations associated with the Stock Plans for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 was
$2.0 million and $2.0 million, respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008
was $3.8 million and $4.6 million, respectively.

The weighted average grant date fair value of options that were granted during the six months
ended June 30, 2009 was $3.95. Our weighted average assumptions used in the valuation of options
were volatility of 41.2 percent, risk-free rate of 2.1 percent, expected life of 65 months, and
dividend yield of zero for the six months ended June 30, 2009. As of June 30, 2009, there was $17.5
million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested stock options granted
under our Stock Plans. That expense is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of
2.8 years.
Note 7 Retirement Plans
Employer Contributions
During the six months ended June 30, 2009, we contributed approximately $2.3 million to our
pension plans. We presently anticipate contributing additional amounts of approximately $3 million
to $8 million to fund our pension plans in 2009.
In connection with actions taken under our previously announced restructuring programs, the
number of employees accumulating benefits under our pension plan in the United States has reduced
significantly. Participants in our U.S. pension plan have the option of receiving cash lump sum
payments when exiting the plan, which a number of participants exiting the pension plan have
elected to receive. In accordance with SFAS No. 88, Employers Accounting for Settlements and
Curtailments of Defined Benefit Pension Plans and for Termination Benefits, once lump sum payments
in 2009 exceeded our 2008 service and interest costs, a partial settlement event occurred and,
therefore, we recognized a pro rata portion of the previously unrecognized net actuarial loss. As a
result, we incurred partial settlement losses of $5.2 million in the second quarter of 2009 which
were recorded in restructuring and other expense on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of
Operations. Further, as required by SFAS No. 158, Employers Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension
and Other Postretirement Plansan amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R), we
remeasured the funded status of our U.S. plan at the end of the second quarter of 2009.
Our cash balance pension plan is measured at fair value on a recurring basis (at least
annually). In the United States, we maintain target allocation percentages among various asset
classes based on an investment policy established for the plan, which is designed to achieve
long-term objectives of return, while seeking to mitigate against downside risk, and
considering expected cash flows. The current target asset allocation includes equity securities at
50 to 80 percent, debt securities at 15 to 25 percent and other investments at 10 to 25 percent.
Other investments include cash and absolute return strategies investments. Management reviews our
United States investment policy for the plan at least annually. Outside the United States, the
investment objectives are similar to the United States, subject to local regulations. In some
countries, a higher percentage allocation to fixed income securities is required.
The plan assets of our pension plans are valued at fair value primarily using quoted market
prices. Investments, in general, are subject to various risks, including credit, interest and
overall market volatility risks.

Note 8 Litigation Settlement
On July 13, 2009, after a lengthy litigation process, we entered into a confidential
settlement agreement and recorded a litigation settlement charge of $49.0 million for the three and
six month periods ended June 30, 2009.
Imation filed a Declaratory Judgment Action on October 27, 2006, in Federal District Court in
St. Paul, Minnesota requesting that the court resolve an ongoing dispute with Philips Electronics
N.V., U.S. Philips Corporation and North American Philips Corporation (collectively, Philips).
Philips had asserted that (1) the patent cross-license between 3M Company and Philips was not
validly assigned to Imation in connection with the spin-off of Imation from 3M Company in 1996; (2)
Imations 51 percent owned subsidiary, Global Data Media (GDM), was not a subsidiary as defined
in the cross-license; (3) the coverage of the cross-license did not apply to Imations acquisition
of Memorex; (4) the cross-license did not apply to DVD discs; (5) certain Philips patents that were
not covered by the cross-license were infringed by Imation; and (6) as a result, Imation owed
Philips royalties for the prior and future sales of CD and DVD discs. We believed that these
allegations were without merit and filed a Declaratory Judgment Action to have a court reaffirm
Imations rights under the cross-license. On February 26, 2007, the parties signed a Standstill
Agreement and the litigation was voluntarily dismissed without prejudice. Imation and Philips held
settlement negotiations but were unable to come to an agreement. Imation re-filed its Declaratory
Judgment Action on August 10, 2007. Philips filed its Answer and Counterclaims against Imation and
Moser Baer India Ltd. (MBI), Imations partner in GDM. Philips alleged that (1) the cross-license
did not apply to companies that Imation purchased or created after March 1, 2000; (2) GDM was not a
legitimate subsidiary of Imation; (3) Imations formation of GDM was a breach of the cross-license
resulting in termination of the cross-license at that time; (4) Imation (including Memorex and GDM)
infringed various patents that would otherwise have been licensed under the cross-license; and (5)
Imation (including Memorex and GDM) infringed one or more patents that were not covered by the
cross-license. Philips originally claimed damages of $655 million plus interest and costs, as well
as a claim requesting a trebling of that amount. Imation was aware of these claims prior to filing
its Declaratory Judgment Action.
On October 30, 2007, Imation filed its answers to Philips counterclaims and a Motion for
Partial Summary Judgment on the issue of whether the patent cross-license was validly assigned by
3M Company to Imation. Philips did not contest Imations Motion and on November 26, 2007, the
parties filed a stipulation affirming that the cross-license was validly assigned to Imation.
On April 7, 2008, Philips amended its counterclaims to (1) add claims that DVD discs sold by
Imation infringed its patents, and (2) withdrew its specific claim of $655 million in damages in
favor of the more general damages in an amount to be proved at trial.
On May 27, 2008, Philips filed a Motion for Judgment on the Pleadings that the cross-license
did not apply to subsidiaries acquired or formed by Imation after March 1, 2000. Under this
interpretation, the license would not have applied to GDM or Memorex Products, Inc. Imation
disagreed with this interpretation.
The parties held court ordered settlement discussions from June through September 2008;
however, no agreement was reached during that time.
On October 1, 2008, Imation filed a Motion for Leave to amend its Complaint. On November 18,
2008, the Magistrate Judge denied Imations Motion. Imation filed its Objection to the Magistrate
Judges Order and on February 2, 2009, the Court affirmed the Magistrate Judges decision.

Table of Contents
On November 26, 2008, the Court issued a decision granting Philips Motion for Judgment on the
pleadings relating to subsidiaries formed after March 1, 2000. Following this ruling, Imation and
MBI filed a Motion for the Court to certify the ruling on this issue as final under FRCP 54(b)
allowing for an interlocutory appeal to the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. The Court
granted this Motion on January 21, 2009 and on January 23, 2009, Imation filed its Notice of Appeal
with the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. Oral argument before the Court of Appeals was
held on June 2, 2009.
On December 1, 2008, MBI filed two patent-related Summary Judgment Motions. A hearing on these
Motions was held on January 16, 2009. These motions were denied in February and March 2009.
A hearing took place May 4 and May 5, 2009 during which the court considered evidence from the
parties on the appropriate meanings of relevant words used in the patent claims.
On July 13, 2009, we entered into a confidential settlement agreement ending all legal
disputes with Philips. The settlement provides resolution of all claims and counterclaims filed by
the parties without any finding or admission of liability or wrongdoing by any party. As a term of
the settlement, we will pay Philips $53 million over a period of three years. As a result of the
settlement, we recorded a charge, based on the present value of these payments, of approximately
$49 million or $0.81 per share (after the effect of taxes) in the second quarter of 2009. The
discount rate applied in the calculation of present value is comparable to our 3-year corporate
borrowing rate in an arms length transaction.
Although we were not a party to this lawsuit, on August 15, 2007, Philips initiated a lawsuit
against MBI in The Hague, Netherlands, based on MBIs optical license agreements with Philips. MBI
had made a claim for indemnification of its legal expenses and potential liabilities for damages
that were and are being incurred with respect to this claim as well as the US litigation described
above. We entered into an agreement with Moser Baer which fully satisfies our obligation to
indemnify MBI for any and all reasonable legal expenses incurred regarding the MBI indemnification.
The following settlement payments reflect future amounts to be paid to Philips in accordance
with the terms of the settlement:

Additionally, an escrow agreement between Philips and Imation entered into on October 29, 2007

balance of $3.5 million to be released to us resulting in expected net litigation settlement
payments of $16.5 million in 2009.

During the three months ended June 30, 2009, we recorded severance and severance-related
expense of $2.2 million for personnel reductions under our 2008 corporate redesign restructuring
program initiated during the fourth quarter of 2008. The corporate redesign restructuring program
further accelerates the alignment of our cost structure with our strategic direction by reducing
selling, general and administrative expenses. We are reducing costs by rationalizing accounts and
products and through simplifying our corporate structure globally. We also recorded severance and
severance-related costs of $0.1 million related to our TDK recording media restructuring costs
program which began during the third quarter of 2007.
During the three months ended June 30, 2009, we recorded $5.2 million in pension settlement
costs as well as $2.3 million of asset impairment related to our Anaheim facility classified as
assets held for sale within other current assets in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of
June 30, 2009.
During the three months ended March 31, 2009, we recorded severance and severance-related
costs of $4.4 million for personnel reductions and $0.2 million related to other activities under
our 2008 corporate redesign restructuring program. We also recorded lease termination costs of $0.9
million, related to our 2008 cost reduction restructuring program, which included the consolidation
of our Cerritos, California activities into our Oakdale, Minnesota headquarters and is intended to
gain efficiency across brands and channels and reduce costs.
Changes in the 2008 corporate redesign restructuring program accruals for the six months ended
June 30, 2009, were as follows:

Note 10 Taxes
We file income tax returns in the United States federal jurisdiction and various state and
foreign jurisdictions. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) commenced an examination in May 2008 of
one of our U.S. subsidiarys (Memorex Products Inc.) federal income tax returns for the years ended
June 30, 2005 and June 30, 2006 and a stub period ended April 28, 2006. Further, an IRS audit of
the 2006 and 2007 Imation Corp. and subsidiaries U.S. consolidated tax returns began in the fourth
quarter of 2008. Some state and foreign jurisdiction tax years remain open to examination for years
before 2006. We believe any additional assessments for years before 2006 will not be material to
our consolidated financial statements.
The effective income tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 were
39.5 percent and 32.1 percent, respectively. The effective income tax rate for the six months ended
June 30, 2009 and 2008 was 36.4 percent and 37.0 percent, respectively. The changes in the
effective rate were primarily due to the mix of taxable loss/income by country.
Our net deferred tax assets were $93.4 million and $78.7 million as of June 30, 2009 and
December 31, 2008, respectively. Significant judgment is required in determining the realizability
of our deferred tax assets. The assessment of whether valuation allowances are required considers,
among other matters, the nature, frequency and severity of current and cumulative losses, forecasts
of future profitability, the duration of statutory carryforward periods, our experience with loss
carryforwards not expiring unused and tax planning alternatives. We anticipate for the year ending
December 31, 2009 that we will report a three year cumulative tax loss in the United States
primarily due to the 2008 goodwill impairment and the 2009 litigation settlement. Given these
factors are nonrecurring in nature; we concluded the net deferred taxes at June 30, 2009 and
December 31, 2008 do not require any additional valuation allowances. If future results from our
operations are less than projected, particularly in our primary markets, or if further intangible
asset impairments are incurred, a valuation allowance may be required to reduce a portion or all of
our deferred tax assets. This could have a material impact on our results of operations and
financial position in the period in which the additional valuation allowance is recorded.

Table of Contents
Taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities that were included in
revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 were $14.2 million and $21.3 million,
respectively. Taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities that were
included in revenue in the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 were $27.9 million and $40.6
million, respectively.
Note 11 Segment Information
We operate in two broad market categories: (1) removable data storage media products and
accessories (Data Storage Media) and (2) audio and video consumer electronic products and
accessories (Electronic Products).
Our Data Storage Media business is organized, managed and internally and externally reported
as segments differentiated by the regional markets we serve: Americas, Europe and Asia Pacific.
Each of these segments has responsibility for selling virtually all Imation product lines except
for consumer electronic products. Consumer electronic products are sold primarily through our
Electronic Products segment. The Electronic Products segment is currently focused primarily in
North America and primarily under the Memorex brand name.
We evaluate segment performance based on revenue and operating income. Revenue for each
segment is generally based on customer location where the product is shipped. The operating income
reported in our segments excludes corporate and other unallocated amounts. Although such amounts
are excluded from the business segment results, they are included in reported consolidated
earnings. Corporate and unallocated amounts include research and development expense, corporate
expense, stock-based compensation expense, impairment expense, the litigation settlement charge and
restructuring and other expenses which are not allocated to the segments.

Note 12 Derivative Financial Instruments
Effective January 1, 2009, we adopted SFAS No. 161, Disclosure About Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities An Amendment of FASB Statement 133, which expands the quarterly and annual
disclosure requirements for our derivative instruments and hedging activities.
We maintain a foreign currency exposure management policy that allows the use of derivative
instruments, principally foreign currency forwards, option contracts, and option combination
strategies, to manage risks associated with foreign exchange rate volatility. Generally, these
contracts are entered into to fix the U.S. dollar amount of the eventual cash flows.
We are exposed to the risk of nonperformance by our counterparties in foreign currency forward
and option contracts, but we do not anticipate nonperformance by any of these counterparties. We
actively monitor our exposure to credit risk through the use of credit approvals and credit limits,
and by using major international banks and financial institutions as counterparties.
Cash Flow Hedges
We attempt to mitigate the risk that forecasted cash flows denominated in foreign currencies
may be adversely affected by changes in currency exchange rates through the use of option, forward
and combination option contracts. We formally document all relationships between hedging
instruments and hedged items, as well as our risk management objective and strategy for undertaking
the hedge items. This process includes linking all derivatives to forecasted transactions.
We also formally assess, both at the hedges inception and on an ongoing basis, whether the
derivatives used in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in the cash
flows of hedged items. Gains and losses related to cash flow hedges are deferred in accumulated
other comprehensive income (loss) with a corresponding asset or liability. When the hedged
transaction occurs, the gains and losses in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) are
reclassified into the Consolidated Statement of Operations in the same line as the item being
hedged. If at any time it is determined that a derivative is not highly effective as a hedge, we
discontinue hedge accounting prospectively, with deferred gains and losses being recognized in
current period operations.
Other Hedges
We enter into foreign currency forward contracts, generally with durations of less than two
months, to manage the foreign currency exposure related to our monetary assets and liabilities
denominated in foreign currencies. We record the estimated fair value of these forwards within
other current assets or other current liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, and all
changes in their fair value are immediately recognized in the Consolidated Statements of
Operations.
The notional amounts and fair values of our derivative instruments in the Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements were as follows as of June 30, 2009:

Note 13 Fair Value Measurements
Fair value of financial instruments
Effective January 1, 2009, we adopted SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, (SFAS 157) for
our nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities measured on a non-recurring basis. We adopted
SFAS 157 for financial assets and liabilities in 2008. The adoption of SFAS 157 did not have a
material impact on our fair value measurements. Effective June 30, 2009, we adopted Financial
Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Staff Position (FSP) Financial Accounting Standard (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 and FSP FAS 107-1 and APB
28-1, Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments. The adoption of these recent
accounting pronouncements did not have a material impact on our fair value measurements or on our
condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
As of June 30, 2009 and 2008, our financial instruments included cash and cash equivalents,
accounts receivable, accounts payable and derivative contracts. The fair values of cash and cash
equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximated carrying values due to the
short-term nature of these instruments. In addition, certain derivative instruments are recorded at
fair values as discussed below.
Assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis:
As of June 30, 2009, we held derivative instruments that are required to be measured at fair
value on a recurring basis. Our derivative instruments consist of foreign currency forwards, option
contracts, and option combination strategies. The fair value of our derivative instruments is
determined based on inputs that are observable in the public market, but are other than publicly
quoted prices (Level 2).

Assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis:
As of June 30, 2009, we held certain fixed assets available for sale. Included in these assets
is our Anaheim facility which was closed as part of the restructuring announcements in 2008. As
such, the facility has been held for sale. During the three months ended June 30, 2009, we
determined the fair value of the Anaheim facility less estimated costs to sell was less than the
recorded cost. Fair value was estimated based on current letters of intent received from third
parties. As such, we recorded an impairment of $2.3 million to reduce the book value to the fair
value less estimated costs to sell. The impairment related to the facility is included in the
restructuring and other expense line item on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Note 14 Litigation, Commitments and Contingencies
In the normal course of business, we periodically enter into agreements that incorporate
general indemnification language. Performance under these indemnities would generally be triggered
by a breach of terms of the contract or by a third-party claim. There has historically been no
material losses related to such general indemnifications. In accordance with SFAS No. 5, Accounting
for Contingencies, we record a liability in our consolidated financial statements for these actions
when a loss is known or considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated.
We are the subject of various pending or threatened legal actions in the ordinary course of
our business. All such matters are subject to many uncertainties and outcomes that are not
predictable with assurance. Consequently, as of June 30, 2009, we are unable to ascertain the
ultimate aggregate amount of any monetary liability or financial impact that we may incur with
respect to these matters. While these matters could materially affect operating results depending
upon the final resolution in future periods, it is our opinion that after final disposition, any
monetary liability beyond that provided in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30,
2009, would not be material to our financial position.
Philips
On July 13, 2009, we entered into a confidential settlement agreement ending all legal
disputes with Philips. The settlement provides resolution of all claims and counterclaims filed by
the parties without any finding or admission of liability or wrongdoing by any party. As a term of
the settlement, we will pay Philips $53 million over a period of three years. As a result of the
settlement, we recorded a charge, based on the present value of these payments, of approximately
$49 million or $0.81 per share (after the effect of taxes) for the three and six month periods
ended June 30, 2009. See Note 8 herein for additional information.

SanDisk
On October 24, 2007, SanDisk Corporation (SanDisk) filed a patent infringement action in U.S.
District Court, Western District of Wisconsin, against Imation and its subsidiaries, Imation
Enterprises Corp. and Memorex Products, Inc. The lawsuit also names over twenty other companies as
defendants. This action alleges that we have infringed five patents held by SanDisk: US Patent
6,426,893; 6,763,424; 5,719,808; 6,947,332 and 7,137,011. SanDisk alleges that our sale of various
flash memory products, such as USB flash drives and certain flash card formats, infringes these
patents and is seeking damages for prior sales, and an injunction and/or royalties on future sales.
This action has been stayed pending resolution of the related case described below.
Also on October 24, 2007, SanDisk filed a complaint with the United States International Trade
Commission (ITC) against the same Imation entities listed above, as well as over twenty other
companies. This action involves the same patents and the same products as described above and
SanDisk is seeking an order from the ITC blocking the defendants importation of these products
into the United States.
The ITC hearing was held October 27, 2008 through November 4, 2008. Prior to the hearing,
SanDisk affirmatively withdrew three of the five patents (US Nos. 6,426,893; 5,719,808; and
6,947,332) from the case. On April 10, 2009, the Administrative Law Judge issued his Initial
Determination that the asserted patent claim of U.S. Patent No. 7,137,011 was invalid and not
infringed and also finding that U.S. Patent No. 6,673,424 was not infringed. SanDisk filed a
Petition for Review on May 4, 2009 to ask the ITC to review the Initial Determination. The ITC is
expected to rule on SanDisks Petition for Review by October 23, 2009.
Some of our suppliers are already licensed by SanDisk. We are also generally indemnified by
our suppliers against claims for patent infringement. Additionally, our suppliers have indicated
that they will be providing us with USB flash drives with different controllers, which SanDisk has
stipulated are not covered by U.S. Patent No. 6,763,424. Therefore, at this time, we do not believe
that either of the SanDisk actions will have a material adverse impact on our financial statements.
Note 15 Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In April 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Staff Position
(FSP) 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 amends SFAS 157 and 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 also includes guidance on identifying circumstances that indicate a
transaction is not orderly for fair value measurements. This FSP shall be applied prospectively
with retrospective application not permitted. This FSP is effective for interim and annual periods
ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009.
The adoption of FSP FAS 157-4 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial
position, results of operations or cash flows.
In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 Interim Disclosures about Fair Value
of Financial Instruments. This FSP amends SFAS No. 107, Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial
Instruments (SFAS 107), to require disclosures about fair value of financial instruments not
measured on the balance sheet at fair value in interim financial statements as well as in annual
financial statements. Prior to this FSP, fair values for these assets and liabilities were only
disclosed annually. This FSP applies to all financial instruments within the scope of SFAS 107 and
requires all entities to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the
fair value of financial instruments. This FSP is effective for interim periods ending after June
15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. This FSP does not
require disclosures for earlier periods presented for comparative purposes at initial adoption. In
periods after initial adoption, this FSP requires comparative disclosures only for periods ending
after initial adoption. The adoption of FSP FAS 107-1 did not have a material impact on our
consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS 165, Subsequent Events (SFAS 165), to require the disclosure
of the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated, as well as whether the date is the
date the financial statements were issued or the date the financial statements were available to be
issued. Further, the statement requires disclosure of the nature of all non-recognized subsequent
events and an estimate of the financial effect, or a statement that such an estimate cannot be
made. We are required to adopt the new standard effective for all interim and annual periods after
June 15, 2009. The adoption of SFAS 165 did not have a material impact on our consolidated
financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS 168, The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the
Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles a replacement of FAS No. 162 (SFAS 168 or
the Codification), as the single authoritative source for accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America (GAAP), replacing the mix of accounting standards that have evolved
over the last fifty plus years. While not intended to change GAAP, the Codification significantly
changes the way in which accounting literature is organized. It will now be organized by accounting
topic, which is intended to enable users to more quickly
identify the guidance that applies to a specific accounting issue. The Codification is
effective for financial statements that cover interim and annual periods after September 15, 2009.
We have determined that the adoption of the Codification will not have a material impact on our
consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Imation Corp.:
We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of Imation Corp. and its
subsidiaries as of June 30, 2009, and the related condensed consolidated statements of operations
for each of the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 and the condensed
consolidated statements of cash flows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008. These
interim financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management.
We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying
analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting
matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards
of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the objective of which is the
expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do
not express such an opinion.
Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the
accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial statements for them to be in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
We previously audited in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2008, and the related
consolidated statements of operations, shareholders equity and comprehensive income (loss), and of
cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated February 27,
2009, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our
opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of
December 31, 2008, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the consolidated
balance sheet from which it has been derived.

Item 2. | Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. |
Overview
Imation Corp. is a Delaware corporation whose primary businesses are (1) the development,
manufacturing, sourcing, marketing and distribution of removable data storage media products and
accessories and (2) sourcing and distribution of a range of audio and video consumer electronic
products and accessories. As used herein, the terms Imation, Company, we, us, or our
mean Imation Corp. and its subsidiaries unless the context indicates otherwise. We sell our
removable data storage media products across multiple technology platforms or pillars magnetic
media, recordable optical media, flash drives and removable and external hard drives. We sell our
products in approximately 100 countries around the world, primarily under the Imation, Memorex and
TDK Life on Record brand names. We also have distribution agreements under which we distribute
certain removable data storage media products under other brands as well, including International
Business Machines Corp., Sun Microsystems Inc., Hewlett Packard Co. and Exabyte. Our consumer
electronic products and accessories are sold primarily under the Memorex, TDK Life on Record and
XtremeMac brand names, primarily in North America. Except for certain magnetic tape media formats,
we do not manufacture the products we sell and distribute. We seek to differentiate these products
through unique designs, product positioning, packaging, merchandising, and branding. We source
these products from a variety of third party manufacturers.
The global data storage market, including hardware and services, is estimated to be in excess
of $100 billion, of which the removable data storage media market is approximately $20 billion,
including magnetic and optical media, flash and solid state drives, removable and external hard
disk drives. Our removable data storage media products are designed to help users capture, create,
protect, preserve and retrieve valuable digital assets. Our primary products include recordable and
rewritable optical discs, magnetic tape cartridges, USB flash drives, and external and removable
hard drives used by business and individual customers.
Demand for data storage capacity is expected to grow slowly for the next several years, driven
by the growth of information in digital form, the growth of complex databases as a result of new
hardware and software applications, increased ability to access data remotely and across multiple
locations, increased regulatory requirements for record retention and the pervasive use of the
Internet. This increased quantity of data has put data security and archiving at the forefront of
critical business processes. Further, the continued growth in the variety and functionality of
consumer electronic devices has historically increased demand for a range of convenient, low-cost
removable data storage media to capture, store, edit and manage data, photographs, video, images
and music. Within the data storage media industry, the magnetic tape market remains important to
Imation across a substantial installed base of commercial information technology users, a
relatively small number of competitors and high barriers to entry. Imation enjoys a leading market
share, significant intellectual property portfolio, solid industry reputation and relationships
among key original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). Many of our legacy tape formats, which are
proprietary or semi-proprietary, have the highest gross profit margins among all our products.
We also participate in the audio and video and accessories marketplace of the much larger
consumer electronics market. Our consumer electronics market includes traditional analog-based
audio and video devices as well as digital-based audio and video hardware and accessories for
recording and replaying audio and video content. Our accessories portion of the market includes
cases, cleaning and labeling products, cables and connectors sold through retail outlets and
distribution channels. Both consumer electronic products and accessories are primarily sourced from
manufacturers throughout Asia. Consumer electronic products are sold based on a variety of factors,
including brand and reputation, product features and designs, distribution coverage, innovation and
price.
The global consumer electronics market is a very large and highly diverse market in terms of
competitors, channels and products. Our current product offerings focus on a subset of this market.
Products we sell include CD and DVD players, LCD displays (flat panel televisions and digital
picture frames), iPod® accessories, MP3 players, karaoke machines, and alarm clocks and
clock-radios sold primarily under the Memorex brand name. We compete primarily in mass merchant
channels for second tier brand preference in the United States and are expanding into Canada,
Mexico and Europe with the Memorex brand, targeting female consumers, and the XtremeMac brand,
targeting the Apple enthusiast.
The significant and rapid downturn in the global economy has negatively affected demand for
both our commercial and consumer product lines, and is impacting suppliers, distributors and
channel partners. We have seen softness in the markets we participated in during 2008 and we have
planned for these trends to continue throughout 2009.

Our worldwide revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2009 compared with the same

of 7 percent and unfavorable foreign currency translation of 4 percent. The continuing
soft economy, particularly given our exposure to the financial sector, and the nature of the mature
markets of some of our legacy tape products resulted in revenue declines in optical products of
$57.1 million, magnetic products of $51.8 million, flash products of $7.0 million and electronic
products, accessories and other products of $3.2 million.

A litigation settlement charge of $49.0 million was recorded for the three and six month
periods ended June 30, 2009. We entered into a confidential settlement agreement ending all legal
disputes with Philips Electronics N.V., U.S. Philips Corporation and North American Philips
Corporation (collectively, Philips). We have been involved in a complex series of disputes in
multiple jurisdictions regarding cross-licensing and patent infringement related to recordable
optical media. The settlement provides resolution of all claims and counterclaims filed by the
parties without any finding or admission of liability or wrongdoing by any party. As a term of the
settlement, we will pay Philips $53 million over a period of three years. As a result of the
settlement, we recorded a charge in the second quarter of 2009, based on the present value of these
payments, of $49.0 million. The pre-tax cash impact for 2009 will be approximately $16.5 million,
occurring during the second half of this year.

we recorded $5.2 million and $2.3 million of pension settlement and asset impairment charges,
respectively. We also recorded $2.3 and $7.6 million of restructuring charges for the three and six
month periods ended June 30, 2009, respectively, mainly related to our 2008 corporate redesign
restructuring program initiated during the fourth quarter of 2008. This program further accelerates
the alignment of our cost structure by reducing SG&A expense. See Note 9 to the Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements herein.

Table of Contents
Restructuring and other expense was $4.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008,
primarily related to restructuring charges of $7.1 million offset by income of $2.3 million
associated with a TDK post-closing purchase price adjustment. Restructuring charges for the three
months ended June 30, 2008 were related to lease termination costs of $1.9 million associated with
the full settlement of a leased office space no longer utilized and severance and severance-related
costs of $2.5 million.

The increase in other expense for the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared with the same

additional foreign currency exchange losses of $3.1 million and lower interest income of $1.2
million.

Segment Results
We operate in two broad market categories: (1) removable data storage media products and
accessories (Data Storage Media) and (2) audio and video consumer electronic products and
accessories (Electronic Products).
23
Table of Contents
Our Data Storage Media business is organized, managed and internally and externally reported
as segments differentiated by the regional markets we serve: Americas, Europe and Asia Pacific.
Each of these segments has responsibility for selling virtually all Imation product lines. Consumer
electronic products are sold primarily through our Electronic Products segment. The Electronic
Products segment is currently focused primarily in North America and primarily under the Memorex
brand name.
We evaluate segment performance based on revenue and operating income. Revenue for each
segment is generally based on customer location where the product is shipped. The operating income
reported in our segments excludes corporate and other unallocated amounts. Although such amounts
are excluded from the business segment results, they are included in reported consolidated
earnings. Corporate and unallocated amounts include research and development costs, corporate
expense, stock-based compensation expense and restructuring and other costs which are not allocated
to the segments.
Information related to our segments is as follows:

The Americas segment is our largest segment comprising 39.6 percent of our total revenue
for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 38.2 percent of our total revenue for the six months
ended June 30, 2009. Our revenue decrease for the three months ended June 30, 2009, compared with
the same period last year, was mainly due to price declines of approximately 12 percent partly
offset by volume increases of approximately 2 percent. From a product perspective, we experienced
revenue declines primarily in magnetic, consumer electronics and flash products offset by an
increase in optical. Our revenue decrease for the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared with the
same period last year, was mainly due to price declines of approximately 11 percent and volume
declines of approximately 8 percent. From a product perspective, we experienced revenue declines in
all products except hard disk drives.
The decrease in operating income as a percentage of revenue for the three months ended June
30, 2009, compared with the same period last year, was driven by lower gross profit in magnetic and
consumer electronic products partly offset by higher gross profit in optical and lower SG&A
expense. The decrease in operating income as a percentage of revenue for the six months ended June
30, 2009, compared with the same period last year, was driven by lower gross profit in magnetic,
flash and consumer electronic products offset by higher gross profit in optical and lower SG&A
expense.

revenue decrease for the three months ended June 30, 2009, compared with the same period last year,
was due to overall volume decreases of approximately 20 percent, unfavorable foreign currency
impacts of approximately 9 percent and price declines of approximately 7 percent. From a product
perspective, we experienced revenue declines in all products except consumer electronics. Our
revenue decrease for the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared with the same period last year,
was due to volume declines of approximately 16 percent, unfavorable foreign currency impacts of
approximately 8 percent and price declines of approximately 6 percent. From a product perspective,
we experienced revenue declines in all products except consumer electronics and hard disk drives.
We anticipate that our GDM joint venture will be wound down by the end of 2009 as a result of the
litigation settlement previously discussed. This joint venture contributed $27.8 million and $50.5
million of revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and $57.5
million and $86.6 million of revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

The decrease in operating income for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2009,
compared with the same periods last year, was driven by lower sales and gross profit in our optical
and magnetic products partly offset by lower SG&A expense.

The APAC segment comprised 21.8 percent of our total revenue for the three months ended
June 30, 2009 and 22.9 percent of our total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2009. Our
revenue decrease for the three months ended June 30, 2009, compared with the same period last year,
was due to price declines of approximately 20 percent and unfavorable foreign currency impacts of
approximately 4 percent partly offset by overall volume increases of approximately 6 percent. Our
revenue decrease for the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared with the same period last year,
was due to price declines of approximately 18 percent, unfavorable foreign currency impacts of
approximately 7 percent partly offset by overall volume increases of approximately 11 percent. From
a product perspective, the decreases in revenue for the three and six month periods ended June 30,
2009, compared with the same periods last year, were mainly driven by a decrease in optical,
magnetic, audio and video tape and flash product sales as a result of the continuing economic
slowdown, partly offset by an increase in hard disk drive and services revenue.
The decreases in operating income as a percentage of revenue for the three and six month
periods ended June 30, 2009, compared with the same periods last year, were driven by lower gross
profit in optical and magnetic products partly offset by lower SG&A expense.

The Electronic Products segment comprised 11.1 percent of our total revenue for the three
months ended June 30, 2009 and 9.2 percent of our total revenue for the six months ended June 30,
2009. The decline in revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2009, compared with the same
period last year, was driven primarily by decreased video product sales. The decrease in revenue
for the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared with the same period last year, was driven
primarily by decreased video product sales partly offset by increased audio product sales.
The change in the Electronic Products segments operating (loss) income as a percentage of
revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2009, compared with the same period last year, was
driven mainly by lower gross profit in video products. The increase in the Electronic Products
segments operating loss as a percentage of revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2009,
compared with the same period last year, was driven by mainly by lower gross profit in video
products and inventory charges associated with excess inventory.

Impact of Changes in Foreign Currency Rates
We have a market presence in more than 100 countries and we sell products on a local currency
basis through a variety of distribution channels. We source optical, flash and other finished goods
from manufacturers located primarily in Asia, although much of this sourcing is on a U.S. dollar
basis. Further, we produce a significant portion of our magnetic tape products in our own
manufacturing facilities in the United States. Comparisons of revenue and gross profit from foreign
countries are subject to various fluctuations due to the impact of translating results at differing
exchange rates in different periods.
Changes in foreign currency exchange rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009
negatively impacted worldwide revenue by 4.2 and 4.3 percent, respectively, compared with the same
periods last year. The impact on profit is more difficult to determine due to the influence of
other factors that we believe are also impacted by currency rate changes.
Our foreign currency hedging program attempts to manage some of the foreign currency risks
over near term periods; however, these risk management activities cannot ensure that the program
will offset more than a portion of the adverse financial impact resulting from unfavorable
movements in foreign exchange rates or that medium and longer term effects of exchange rates will
not be significant (see Part 1, Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
in this Form 10-Q).
Financial Position
Our cash and cash equivalents balance as of June 30, 2009 was $89.2 million, a decrease of
$7.4 million from $96.6 million as of December 31, 2008. The decrease was primarily due to capital
expenditures of $7.2 million, debt issuance costs of $2.9 million and the effects of exchange rates
on cash of $4.4 million, partly offset by operating cash inflows of $6.3 million.
Accounts receivable days sales outstanding was 65 days as of June 30, 2009, up 2 days from
December 31, 2008. Days sales outstanding is calculated using the count-back method, which
calculates the number of days of most recent revenue that is reflected in the net accounts
receivable balance.
Days of inventory supply was 80 days as of June 30, 2009, down 2 days from December 31, 2008.
Days of inventory supply is calculated using the current period inventory balance divided by the
average of the inventoriable portion of cost of goods sold for the previous 12 months, expressed in
days.
Our other current assets balance as of June 30, 2009 was $161.7 million, an increase of $23.6
million from $138.1 million as of December 31, 2008. The increase was mainly due to additional
prepaid taxes, higher foreign value added tax assets and higher deferred income tax assets.
Our accounts payable balance as of June 30, 2009 was $234.9 million, a decrease of $61.2
million from $296.1 million as of December 31, 2008. The decrease in accounts payable was due to
lower purchasing levels and payments made through June 30, 2009.
Our other liabilities balance as of June 30, 2009 was $98.4 million, an increase of $24.3
million from $74.1 million as of December 31, 2008. The increase was caused by our long-term
liability to Philips recorded as a result of our litigation settlement.

ended June 30, 2009 was driven by net loss of $48.5 million as adjusted by non-cash items including
the Philips litigation settlement charge of $49.0 million, and cash payments of $19.4 million to
TDK for a post-closing purchase price adjustment for previously unfiled European value added tax
(VAT) returns, $16.1 million under our restructuring programs and $2.3 million of pension funding
partially offset by an income tax refund of $6.4 million.
Cash provided by operating activities of $78.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2008
was driven by net income as adjusted for non-cash items of $50.1 million including depreciation and
amortization charges of $25.3 million. The cash flows from operating activities were further
impacted by the changes in our operating assets and liabilities which provided cash of $28.2
million.

On January 28, 2008, the Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program increasing
the total outstanding authorization to 3.0 million shares of common stock. The Companys previous
authorization was cancelled with the new authorization. During the three months ended March 30,
2008, we repurchased 0.8 million shares completing the 10b5-1 plan announced in May 2007. As of
December 31, 2008, we had repurchased 0.7 million shares under the latest authorization. We did not
repurchase shares for the three months ended June 30, 2009. As of June 30, 2009, we held, in total,
5.2 million shares of treasury stock acquired at an average price of $25.1 per share. Authorization
for repurchases of an additional 2.3 million shares remained outstanding as of June 30, 2009.
On January 30, 2009, our Board of Directors suspended the quarterly cash dividend. We paid a
cash dividend of $0.16 per share, or $6.0 million, for the first quarter of 2008 and $0.16 per
share, or $6.0 million, during the second quarter of 2008.
On March 30, 2006, we entered into a credit agreement (the Credit Agreement) with a group of
banks that were party to our prior
credit agreement, extending the expiration date from December 15, 2006 to March 29, 2011. The
Credit Agreement was most recently amended on June 3, 2009 to provide a more consistent amount of
availability under the credit agreement, accomplished in part by changing the form of the credit
facility such that the availability is now based on the value of certain assets and generally
removing limitations to availability based on income levels. In addition, we have decreased the
overall size of the facility. Specifically, Imation Corp. and Imation Enterprises Corp.
(collectively, the Borrowers or we, us or our) entered into a Third Amendment to Credit
Agreement (the Third Amendment) with a consortium of lenders (the Lenders) and Bank of America,
N.A., as Administrative Agent and L/C Issuer (the Agent). The Third Amendment amended our Credit
Agreement dated as of March 29, 2006 (as amended by the Amendment to Credit Agreement dated as of
July 24, 2007 and the Second Amendment to Credit Agreement dated April 25, 2008) among the
Borrowers, the Agent and the other Lenders (collectively the Credit Agreement). The Third
Amendment results in a reduction of the senior revolving credit facility to an amount up to
$200,000,000 (the Credit Facility), including a $75,000,000 sub-limit for letters of credit, that
we may use (i) to pay fees, commissions and expenses in connection with the Credit Facility and
(ii) for ongoing working capital requirements, capital expenditures and other general corporate
purposes. Pricing has also been adjusted as the result of the Third Amendment. Through December 31,
2009, borrowings under the Credit Agreement will bear interest at a rate equal to (i) the
Eurodollar Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus 3.50% or (ii) the Base Rate (as defined
in the Credit Agreement) plus 2.50%. Commencing January 1, 2010, the applicable margins for the
Eurodollar Rate and the Base Rate will be subject to adjustments based on average daily
Availability (as defined in the Credit Agreement), as set forth in the definition of Applicable
Rate in the Credit Agreement. Advances under the Credit Facility are limited to the lesser of (a)
$200,000,000 and (b) the Borrowing Base. The Borrowing Base is equal to the following:
| up to 85% of eligible accounts receivable; plus | ||
| up to the lesser of 65% of eligible inventory or 85% of the appraised net orderly liquidation value of eligible inventory; plus | ||
| up to 60% of the appraised fair market value of eligible real estate at closing (the Original Real Estate Value), such Original Real Estate Value to be reduced each calendar month by 1/84th, provided, that the Original Real Estate Value shall not exceed $40,000,000; plus | ||
| such other classes of collateral as may be mutually agreed upon and at advance rates as may be determined by the Agent; minus | ||
| such reserves as the Agent may establish in good faith. |
The Credit Agreement expires on March 29, 2012, and contains covenants which are customary for
similar credit arrangements, including covenants relating to financial reporting and notification;
payment of indebtedness, taxes and other obligations; and compliance with applicable laws and
limitations regarding additional liens, indebtedness, certain acquisitions, investments and
dispositions of assets. The Credit Agreement also contains a conditional financial covenant that
requires us to have a Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement)
of not less than 1.20 to 1.00 during certain periods described in the Credit Agreement. Imation
Corp. was in compliance with all covenants it was required to be in compliance with as of June 3,
2009.
Our obligations under the Credit Agreement continue to be guaranteed by the material domestic
subsidiaries of Imation Corp. (the Guarantors) and, by virtue of the Third Amendment, are now
secured by a first priority lien (subject to customary exceptions) on the real property comprising
Imation Corp.s corporate headquarters and all of the personal property of the Borrowers and the
Guarantors.
In addition, certain international subsidiaries have borrowing arrangements locally outside of
the Credit Agreement discussed above. As of June 30, 2009, there were no borrowings outstanding
under such arrangements.

Table of Contents
Our remaining liquidity needs for 2009 include the following: net litigation settlement
payments of $16.5 million, capital expenditures of approximately $8 million, restructuring payments
of approximately $10 million related to the remaining accrual for restructuring programs
implemented in 2007 and 2008, pension funding of approximately $3 million to $8 million, operating
lease payments of approximately $4 million, and any additional amounts associated with TDK
post-closing purchase price adjustment for previously unfiled European value added tax returns. We
expect that cash and cash equivalents, together with cash flow from operations and availability of
borrowings under our current sources of financing, will provide liquidity sufficient to meet these
needs and for our operations.
There can be no assurance, however, that we will continue to generate cash flow at current
levels and the current disruption in the global financial markets may negatively impact our ability
to access the capital markets under current and future sources of financing in a timely manner and
on attractive terms.
Other than operating lease commitments, we are not using off-balance sheet arrangements,
including special purpose entities, nor do we have any contractual obligations or commercial
commitments with terms greater than one year that would significantly impact our liquidity.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.
Except for the paragraphs noted below, there has been no material change since our Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008. For further information, see Item 7A.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk included in our Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.
As of June 30, 2009, we had $420.1 million notional amount of foreign currency forward and
option contracts of which $146.0 million
hedged recorded balance sheet exposures. This compares to $595.4 million notional amount of
foreign currency forward and option contracts as of December 31, 2008, of which $99.0 million
hedged recorded balance sheet exposures. An immediate adverse change of 10 percent in quarter-end
foreign currency exchange rates with all other variables (including interest rates) held constant
would reduce the fair value of foreign currency contracts outstanding as of June 30, 2009 by
$21.1 million.
On July 13, 2009, we entered into a confidential settlement agreement ending all legal
disputes with Philips. The settlement provides resolution of all claims and counterclaims filed by
the parties without any finding or admission of liability or wrongdoing by any party. As a term of
the settlement, we will pay Philips $53 million over a period of three years. See Note 8 to the
Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 herein for further information.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Based on an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e)
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act)) as of June 30, 2009, the end of the
period covered by this report, the Vice Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Frank P. Russomanno,
and the Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, Paul R. Zeller, have concluded that the
disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
During the quarter ended June 30, 2009, there was no change in our internal control over
financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) 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.
In the normal course of business, we periodically enter into agreements that incorporate
general indemnification language. Performance under these indemnities would generally be triggered
by a breach of terms of the contract or by a third-party claim. There have historically been no
material losses related to such indemnifications. In accordance with Statement of Financial
Accounting Standard No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies, we record a liability in our consolidated
financial statements for these actions when a loss is known or considered probable and the amount
can be reasonably estimated.
We are the subject of various pending or threatened legal actions in the ordinary course of
our business. All such matters are subject to many uncertainties and outcomes that are not
predictable with assurance. Consequently, as of June 30, 2009, we are unable to ascertain the
ultimate aggregate amount of any monetary liability or financial impact that we may incur with
respect to these matters. While these matters could materially affect operating results depending
upon the final resolution in future periods, it is our opinion that after final disposition, any
monetary liability beyond that provided in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30,
2009, would not be material to our financial position.
Philips
Imation filed a Declaratory Judgment Action on October 27, 2006, in Federal District Court in
St. Paul, Minnesota requesting that the court resolve an ongoing dispute with Philips Electronics
N.V., U.S. Philips Corporation and North American Philips Corporation (collectively, Philips).
Philips had asserted that (1) the patent cross-license between 3M Company and Philips was not
validly assigned to Imation in connection with the spin-off of Imation from 3M Company in 1996; (2)
Imations 51 percent owned subsidiary, Global Data Media (GDM), was not a subsidiary as defined
in the cross-license; (3) the coverage of the cross-license did not apply to Imations acquisition
of Memorex; (4) the cross-license did not apply to DVD discs; (5) certain Philips patents that were
not covered by the cross-license were infringed by Imation; and (6) as a result, Imation owed
Philips royalties for the prior and future sales of CD and DVD discs. We believed that these
allegations were without merit and filed a Declaratory Judgment Action to have a court reaffirm
Imations rights under the cross-license. On February 26, 2007, the parties signed a Standstill
Agreement and the litigation was voluntarily dismissed without prejudice. Imation and Philips held
settlement negotiations but were unable to come to an agreement. Imation re-filed its Declaratory
Judgment Action on August 10, 2007. Philips filed its Answer and Counterclaims against Imation and
Moser Baer India Ltd. (MBI), Imations partner in GDM. Philips alleged that (1) the cross-license
did not apply to companies that Imation purchased or created after March 1, 2000; (2) GDM was not a
legitimate subsidiary of Imation; (3) Imations formation of GDM was a breach of the cross-license
resulting in termination of the cross-license at that time; (4) Imation (including Memorex and GDM)
infringed various patents that would otherwise have been licensed under the cross-license; and (5)
Imation (including Memorex and GDM) infringed one or more patents that were not covered by the
cross-license. Philips originally claimed damages of $655 million plus interest and costs, as well
as a claim requesting a trebling of that amount. Imation was aware of these claims prior to filing
its Declaratory Judgment Action.
On October 30, 2007, Imation filed its answers to Philips counterclaims and a Motion for
Partial Summary Judgment on the issue of whether the patent cross-license was validly assigned by
3M Company to Imation. Philips did not contest Imations Motion and on November 26, 2007, the
parties filed a stipulation affirming that the cross-license was validly assigned to Imation.
On April 7, 2008, Philips amended its counterclaims to (1) add claims that DVD discs sold by
Imation infringed its patents, and (2) withdrew its specific claim of $655 million in damages in
favor of the more general damages in an amount to be proved at trial.
On May 27, 2008, Philips filed a Motion for Judgment on the Pleadings that the cross-license
did not apply to subsidiaries acquired or formed by Imation after March 1, 2000. Under this
interpretation, the license would not have applied to GDM or Memorex Products, Inc. Imation
disagreed with this interpretation.
The parties held court ordered settlement discussions from June through September 2008,
however, no agreement was reached during that time.
On October 1, 2008, Imation filed a Motion for Leave to amend its Complaint. On November 18,
2008, the Magistrate Judge denied Imations Motion. Imation filed its Objection to the Magistrate
Judges Order and on February 2, 2009, the Court affirmed the Magistrate Judges decision.

On November 26, 2008, the Court issued a decision granting Philips Motion for Judgment on the
pleadings relating to subsidiaries formed after March 1, 2000. Following this ruling, Imation and
MBI filed a Motion for the Court to certify the ruling on this issue as final under FRCP 54(b)
allowing for an interlocutory appeal to the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. The Court
granted this Motion on January 21, 2009 and on January 23, 2009, Imation filed its Notice of
Appeal with the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. Oral argument before the Court of Appeals
was held on June 2, 2009.
On December 1, 2008, MBI filed two patent-related Summary Judgment Motions. A hearing on these
Motions was held on January 16, 2009. These motions were denied in February and March 2009.
A hearing took place May 4 and May 5, 2009 during which the court considered evidence from the
parties on the appropriate meanings of relevant words used in the patent claims.
On July 13, 2009, we entered into a confidential settlement agreement ending all legal
disputes with Philips. The settlement provides resolution of all claims and counterclaims filed by
the parties without any finding or admission of liability or wrongdoing by any party. As a term of
the settlement, we will pay Philips $53 million over a period of three years. As a result of the
settlement, we recorded a charge, based on the present value of these payments, of approximately
$49 million or $0.81 per share in the second quarter of 2009. The discount rate applied in the
calculation of present value is comparable to our 3-year corporate borrowing rate in an arms
length transaction.
Although we were not a party to this lawsuit, on August 15, 2007, Philips initiated a lawsuit
against MBI in The Hague, Netherlands, based on MBIs optical license agreements with Philips. MBI
had made a claim for indemnification of its legal expenses and potential liabilities for damages
that were and are being incurred with respect to this claim as well as the US litigation described
above. We entered into an agreement with Moser Baer which fully satisfies our obligation to
indemnify MBI for any and all reasonable legal expenses incurred regarding the MBI
indemnification.
SanDisk
On October 24, 2007, SanDisk Corporation (SanDisk) filed a patent infringement action in U.S.
District Court, Western District of Wisconsin, against Imation and its subsidiaries, Imation
Enterprises Corp. and Memorex Products, Inc. The lawsuit also names over twenty other companies as
defendants. This action alleges that we have infringed five patents held by SanDisk: US Patent
6,426,893; 6,763,424; 5,719,808; 6,947,332 and 7,137,011. SanDisk alleges that our sale of various
flash memory products, such as USB flash drives and certain flash card formats, infringes these
patents and is seeking damages for prior sales, and an injunction and/or royalties on future sales.
This action has been stayed pending resolution of the related case described below.
Also on October 24, 2007, SanDisk filed a complaint with the United States International Trade
Commission (ITC) against the same Imation entities listed above, as well as over twenty other
companies. This action involves the same patents and the same products as described above and
SanDisk is seeking an order from the ITC blocking the defendants importation of these products
into the United States.
The ITC hearing was held October 27, 2008 through November 4, 2008. Prior to the hearing,
SanDisk affirmatively withdrew three of the five patents (US Nos. 6,426,893; 5,719,808; and
6,947,332) from the case. On April 10, 2009, the Administrative Law Judge issued his Initial
Determination that the asserted patent claim of U.S. Patent No. 7,137,011 was invalid and not
infringed and also finding that U.S. Patent No. 6,673,424 was not infringed. SanDisk filed a
Petition for Review on May 4, 2009 to ask the ITC to review the Initial Determination. The ITC is
expected to rule on SanDisks Petition for Review by October 23, 2009.
Some of our suppliers are already licensed by SanDisk. We are also generally indemnified by
our suppliers against claims for patent infringement. Additionally, our suppliers have indicated
that they will be providing us with USB flash drives with different controllers, which SanDisk has
stipulated are not covered by U.S. Patent No. 6,763,424. Therefore, at this time, we do not believe
that either of the SanDisk actions will have a material adverse impact on our financial statements.

On July 13, 2009, we entered into a confidential settlement agreement
ending all legal disputes with Philips. The settlement provides
resolution of all claims and counterclaims filed by the parties
without any finding or admission of liability or wrongdoing by any
party. As a term of the settlement, we will pay Philips $53 million
over a period of three years. See Note 8 to the Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 herein for further information.
