General Information

BUSINESS |
Rimage Corporation (“Rimage” or the “Company”) helps businesses deliver digital content directly and securely to their customers and employees. Rimage’s disc publishing business supplies more than 10,000 customers in North America, Europe and Asia with industry-leading solutions that archive, distribute and protect content on CDs, DVDs and Blu-ray Discs™. With its acquisition of Qumu, Inc. (“Qumu”), Rimage entered the rapidly growing enterprise video communications market. The combination of Qumu with Rimage’s disc publishing business, and online publishing initiative under development, enables businesses to securely deliver their videos, documents, audio files and images in today’s multi-platform, multi-device world.
Founded in 1978 and incorporated as IXI, Inc. in Minnesota in February 1987, Rimage has focused on digital content distribution since its inception. Since 1995, Rimage has focused its business on development and sale of its CD recordable (“CD-R”) publishing systems, and since 2000, its DVD recordable (“DVD-R”) publishing systems. Blu-ray capabilities were integrated into key products in late 2006 to address the needs of customers desiring the substantial increase in storage capacity provided by this technology.
Rimage’s comprehensive strategy is focused on helping businesses deliver digital content. The Company is strengthening its core disc publishing business with a focus on application-specific solutions and growing in geographies where physical optical media is a preferred method of content delivery. In addition, the Company has recognized the need to add new technology capabilities and product lines to address the changing content distribution needs of its customers.
Consumerization is changing the information technology landscape, and as a result, the needs of Rimage’s customers are evolving rapidly. It is possible that in 2012, more smartphones and tablets will be sold than personal computers. Furthermore, some projections indicate that by 2014, over half of the Internet traffic will be video, as enterprises adopt video as a primary way to distribute content to their employees, partners and customers. These trends are driving a transition from disc to online publishing.
As part of its growth strategy in 2010, Rimage began developing an online publishing solution for its customers. This solution provides a secure content delivery platform that directly pushes documents and rich media content to desktops and mobile devices, making content available online or offline. Rimage’s online publishing solution makes content available globally through a cloud based SaaS platform. Development on this solution continued in 2011 with the products being developed moving into proof of concept testing with several of the Company’s disc publishing customers. Customer feedback has been positive and Rimage expects to launch its online publishing solution in the second quarter of 2012.
In October 2011, Rimage acquired Qumu, a leading provider of enterprise video communications solutions. Qumu is a leader in video communications, serving over 100 Global 1000 companies across several industries. Its technology allows customers to capture, organize and distribute content to personal computers, tablets and smart phones across the enterprise. The distribution technology is based on live or on-demand streaming. Qumu provides information technology administrators and corporate communication leaders a way to address the challenges of video overwhelming their data networks and still utilize their existing information technology infrastructure. The acquisition of Qumu provided Rimage with an entrance into a large and growing market as well as access to software industry expertise.
The addition of Qumu’s enterprise video communications solutions and the Company’s online publishing solutions, along with the Company’s disc publishing product platform, will provide Rimage with unique content distribution capabilities that enable a broad range of methods for secure delivery of content to businesses worldwide. The disc publishing platform delivers content by use of physical optical media, the Qumu platform enables content delivery via live and on demand streaming and the online publishing platform enables secure downloading of content.

Rimage helps businesses deliver digital content utilizing three primary product platforms: disc publishing, enterprise video communications and an online publishing solution currently under development and expected to be launched in the second quarter of 2012.

Disc Publishing
Rimage’s disc publishing systems, which include equipment to handle a full range of low-to-high production volumes, incorporate robotics, software and custom printing technology for disc labeling. Rimage focuses its disc publishing solutions on a set of vertical markets with special needs for customized, on-demand digital information, including medical imaging; business services, including banking and finance; video workflows; manufacturing and government law enforcement, including surveillance and evidence management.
Rimage’s disc publishing products are designed to enable the publishing of customized content and automation of data distribution and archiving processes. In some cases, this results in reductions of labor, training and inventory costs for users of the products; in other cases, it enables totally new and innovative applications. Rimage’s disc publishing products provide compelling solutions for content distribution and archiving of information on recordable CD, DVD and Blu-ray media for just-in-time, on-demand and mass customization of discs with unique content and labels.
The principal benefits to users of Rimage’s disc publishing products include secure content delivery, unattended operation, reduced labor costs and higher throughput and quality than alternative systems. One of the essential elements of Rimage’s marketing and development strategy is to retain customers over time. Rimage provides users with a path for future product upgrades to obtain improved products or products with additional capabilities, such as drives that will accommodate new media types, drives with faster recording speeds and opportunities to upgrade to improved printing technologies. Rimage also focuses on providing customers whose products have reached the end of their useful lives a migration path to a new Rimage solution. Rimage has made a long-term commitment to its disc publishing customers by providing maintenance service contracts, replacement parts and repair services for current as well as past products.
Rimage’s traditional digital disc publishing systems are divided into three primary product lines: the Producer line of equipment for higher volume requirements for production of recordable CD, DVD or Blu-ray media; the Professional line of equipment for front office production of recordable CD, DVD or Blu-ray media; and the Desktop line of lower-cost products for office and other desktop applications. Rimage’s other major sources of disc publishing revenue are recurring in nature and consist of consumables (ribbons, ink cartridges and Rimage-branded blank recordable CD, DVD and Blu-ray media), parts and maintenance contracts.
The Producer III Series. The Producer III Series of disc publishing systems, introduced in 2006, represent the latest generation of the high-performance Producer line and consists of a family of products that cover a broad range of applications for the publishing and duplication of CD, DVD and Blu-ray discs with digital content. Each product in the Producer line incorporates recorders capable of recording on CD, DVD or Blu-ray media, customized robotics, a thermal or thermal re-transfer printer for on-disc color printing, software and computer hardware components.
4
In 2010, Rimage reduced its Producer line of products from seven to three basic configurations in order to simplify operations and reduce costs while continuing to meet the varying needs of its commercial customers. The Rimage 8100N system, part of the Producer III Series of publishing systems introduced in 2006, provides industry leading speed and throughput for on-demand production of CD, DVD or Blu-ray discs with digital content. The Rimage 8100N system utilizes up to four simultaneous data streams and four recorders and provides for a capacity of 300 discs. The Rimage 7100N system, also part of the Producer III Series, has two recorders. The Rimage 6100N system, introduced in 2008 as an expansion of the Producer III Series, has a single recorder. All Rimage Producer systems are network-attached, have a control center embedded inside the unit and are available with either Rimage’s Everest or Prism printers. The Producer line also includes AutoPrinter systems, which incorporate either an Everest or Prism printer. List prices for the Producer line of publishing systems currently range from $14,950 to $37,950.
The Everest printer was developed to meet customer needs for an on-demand, direct-to-disc printer that prints color and monochrome disc labels with quality similar to offset and silkscreen printing systems. The Everest printer produces images on recordable CD, DVD and Blu-ray media that are indelible and cover the full surface of the media. The Everest printer sold with the Producer product line enables users to print on discs with 600 dpi print resolution, while the Everest printer sold with the Professional Series line of systems (discussed below) provides 400 dpi print resolution. Both provide for the printing of photo quality images and clear, crisp text. Rimage’s Prism printer provides high-speed, laser quality monochrome and spot color printing on standard recordable CD and DVD media for in-house, customized printing.
The Professional Series. The Company augmented its Producer product line with the introduction of the Professional Series line of digital disc publishing systems in 2007. The Professional Series systems are compact, network-attached publishing systems that feature an Everest printer and a small footprint. Rimage introduced two new digital publishing systems to its Professional Series line of products effective March 1, 2010. The Rimage Professional Series 5400N and Rimage Professional Series 3400 offer mid-range solutions for on-demand disc publishing. Both systems utilize two recorders, three input bins and an Everest printer. The Rimage Professional Series 5400N has a control center embedded inside the unit, while the Rimage Professional Series 3400 does not contain an embedded control center. The Professional Series 5400N and 3400 line of systems replaced the 5300N and 5100N, which were removed from general availability in October 2010. List prices for the Professional Series 5400N and 3400 currently range from $6,950 to $12,950.
The Desktop Series. Rimage’s Desktop Series of CD-R/DVD-R products feature economical pricing, a compact “desktop” design, software, network compatibility and stand-alone, plug-and-play technology ideal for office environments. The Company introduced the two-drive recorder Rimage 2000i Desktop publishing system and Rimage 480i thermal inkjet printer in June 2004. Co-developed by the Company and Hewlett-Packard, the Rimage 480i inkjet printer features 4800 dpi resolution for high clarity color printing on CD-R/DVD-R discs. The current list price for the Rimage 2000i Desktop publishing system is $3,450.
Rimage Vertical Market Solutions. The Producer and Professional Series products are sold as standalone systems for disc publishing, and are also sold in combination with application-specific hardware and software to provide an integrated solution to address specific needs in vertical markets, including but not limited to law enforcement, video workflows and medical imaging. The Company launched the following solutions-based systems in 2010 and 2011 to address the needs of some of these new applications:

Enterprise Video Communications
In October 2011, Rimage acquired Qumu, a leading provider of enterprise video communications solutions. Qumu products are deployed as an end-to-end solution with an intuitive and rich user-experience to author, manage and distribute live and on-demand video content while integrating video with other media over corporate networks both behind and beyond the secure firewall. The Company’s product suite includes Qumu Capture Studio, Qumu Video Control Center, Qumu VideoEdge and Qumu Digital Signage. Additionally, Qumu has recently added applications to support delivery of video to tablets and smart phones. Qumu solutions also integrate extensively with customers’ existing video infrastructures and broader IT infrastructures. Qumu deployments are in the form of software, software on a server appliance or a managed service in the cloud.
Qumu Products. Qumu’s solutions are deployed as a combination of several “building block” components comprised of software and hardware. Qumu deployments can range in size from less than $100,000 to millions of dollars. Deployments also range from a single customer location to a global infrastructure serving over one hundred thousand corporate employees. Qumu solution components are deployed as needed to serve different capabilities of the enterprise video content lifecycle of creation, management and distribution.
|
|
|
|
|
|
• |
For creation: Qumu Capture Studio is a hardware appliance that quickly and easily records, edits, and publishes video and presentation content; Qumu Quick Capture is a browser-based applet for the simple creation of videos captured from a user’s computer screen and/or webcam. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
• |
For management: Qumu Video Control Center is the enterprise-scalable solution that provides central control for all video applications, content and resources involved in the production and delivery of enterprise video. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
• |
For distribution: Qumu Video Edge is a video-centric mass distribution appliance that provides caching of H.264/MPEG-4, Windows Media & Flash video, VoD and live broadcast content reducing traffic from the centrally-located origin server; Qumu Mobility Application (QMA) is a set of native applications that include the ability to search, play back and upload video content to servers resident behind the firewall; Qumu Mobility Engine (QME) prepares content for adaptive HTTP streaming to tablets in both live and on-demand formats using Internet based content delivery networks. |
Qumu Integration Capabilities. Qumu solutions can federate existing content distribution networks (“CDN’s”) into a single system for intranet and internet content distribution of video and related media assets. The federation capability includes Internet based CDN’s like Akamai, AT&T ACDN and Amazon CloudFront and intranet based devices like Riverbed Steelhead®, Cisco ACNS/WaaS/CDS, and Blue Coat Director. This federation capability allows customers and partners to execute an “embrace and replace” strategy for upgrading their networks as opposed to “rip and replace” from other vendors. Additionally, Qumu solutions enable integration with other technologies and applications being used by customers to reach their employees on mobile devices and digital signage with capabilities including:
|

Online Publishing
Rimage continued to invest in 2011 in the development of an online publishing solution to provide its customers secure, push-based delivery of digital content. Rimage’s online publishing solution makes content available globally through a cloud based SaaS platform. Products being developed moved into proof of concept testing during 2011 with several of the Company’s disc publishing customers. Rimage expects to launch its online publishing solution in the second quarter of 2012.
Rimage’s disc publishing channel partners, primarily consisting of value-added resellers, other strategic partners and distributors, currently generate the majority of the Company’s sales. Until March 31, 2010, Rimage utilized the following principal means of distributing its products: A two-tier distribution channel of distributors to value-added resellers in Europe, the U.S. and Latin America; a distributor or OEM to end-user distribution channel in Asia Pacific, some areas in Europe and some U.S. market applications; and direct sales to select accounts using its own sales force. On April 1, 2010, Rimage terminated its relationships with distributors in the United States, Germany, and the United Kingdom. The termination of these distributors was part of the Company’s plan to improve the efficiency of its sales channels. Following termination of the distributors, the Company sells products in these regions to end-user customers primarily through value-added resellers or other strategic partners, as well as to select accounts directly through its own sales force. Sales to one of the Company’s disc publishing strategic partners represented 16%, 18% and 11% of consolidated revenues during 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The agreement governing these sales is the Company’s standard form of purchase order.
Rimage has historically focused its disc publishing sales and marketing efforts on high-volume recordable CD, DVD and Blu-ray disc publishing solutions in such areas as banking and finance, wholesale photo processing labs, medical imaging, and retail photography. Rimage plans to continue to expand its position in some of these markets while also focusing on marketing new solutions for applications with high-growth potential in business services, video workflows and law enforcement; including surveillance and evidence management. The Company’s sales and marketing organization is focused on penetrating these targeted markets and strengthening marketing support for new products with more intensive web-based marketing and selling activities.
Rimage conducts foreign sales through its U.S. operation and its subsidiaries in Germany and Japan, and effective in the third quarter 2010, through its majority-owned joint venture in China. Foreign sales constituted approximately 38% of Rimage’s consolidated revenues for the year ended December 31, 2011, 35% for the year ended December 31, 2010 and 41% for the year ended December 31, 2009.
Rimage’s enterprise video communications product line acquired as part of the Qumu acquisition serves a customer base of over 100 enterprises ranging from teleconferencing vendors to service providers. Qumu primarily targets enterprises with 5,000+ employees and a history of video use for corporate communications primarily in the following vertical markets: business services, video workflows, banking and finance, manufacturing, education and government. Qumu serves its customer base via direct sales and channel partners offering a variety of deployment methodologies and business models to meet customer demand including software, software on server appliance, SaaS and managed services.
Technology substitution is expected to be the primary competitive force impacting the disc publishing product line over the next several years. Rimage competes with online distribution, cloud transport and alternative technologies in the content distribution industry. In addition, Rimage competes in certain vertical market applications with products sold in the storage industry such as high capacity hard drives, tape drives and flash memory. Rimage believes that within its targeted markets its technology has advantages over certain other technologies in terms of usability, reliability, performance, security and cost.

Additionally, within the on-demand disc publishing market, Rimage competes with a number of manufacturers of CD-R/DVD-R/Blu-ray production equipment and related products. Primary competitors of the Company currently include Primera Technology, Inc., Teac, Microtech Systems, Inc. and Seiko Epson Corporation. Rimage is able to compete effectively in the sale of disc publishing systems because of technological leadership in automated solutions and its early start within the CD-R/DVD-R digital content publishing industry. Rimage believes that its quality printing capabilities for recordable CD, DVD and Blu-ray media, its transporter mechanisms, its software, its serviceability and its integration tools differentiate its products from those of competitors.
Major competitors of Qumu’s enterprise video communications product line include Cisco, Polycom and vBrick. Due to Qumu’s unique focus on a complete video infrastructure that is not proprietary to major IT infrastructure providers, Qumu is able to compete effectively with these alternatives. In addition, the combination of Qumu’s enterprise video communications solutions with Rimage’s disc publishing product line, and online publishing initiative under development, creates a unique set of content management and distribution capabilities that the Company believes will enable it in the future to differentiate itself further in the market against these and other content distribution competitors.
Rimage’s manufacturing operations associated with its disc publishing product line consist primarily of the assembly of products from components purchased from third parties. Some parts are standard components and others are manufactured to Rimage’s specifications. Rimage’s employees at its facility in Edina, Minnesota conduct assembly and testing operations. Components include DVD-R drives, Blu-ray recorders, printers, circuit boards, electric motors, machined and molded parts, precision sheet metal assemblies, computer components and other mechanical parts. The Company depends upon a single-source supplier for its Everest printers and associated ribbons and, beginning in March 2010, for its Rimage Professional Series 5400N and Rimage Professional Series 3400 systems. The Company currently purchases these products pursuant to its standard form of purchase order, submitted to the supplier from time to time as the products are needed.
Although Rimage believes it has identified alternative assembly contractors for most of its subassemblies and products, an actual change in such contractors would likely require a period of training and testing. Accordingly, a sudden interruption in a supply relationship or the production capacity of one or more of such contractors could result in increased costs, delivery delays, loss of sales and quality control issues as the Company seeks to secure alternative sources of supply.
The deployment of Qumu’s enterprise video communications solutions is in the form of software, software on a server appliance or a managed service. Qumu outsources the design and assembly of its server appliance to a third-party contract manufacturer. Under Qumu’s direction, the contract manufacturer loads Qumu’s software on the appliance and drop ships the appliance directly to Qumu’s customers on Qumu’s behalf. Software sales deployed without the appliance are available via secure electronic delivery.
As of December 31, 2011, 58 full-time employees were involved in research and development at Rimage, with 25 engineers added as a result of the Qumu acquisition and 33 from Rimage’s existing business. This staff, with software, electrical, mechanical and drafting capabilities, engages in research and development of new products and enhancements to existing products. In addition to investing in its core disc publishing products, Rimage began investing during 2010 in new technology to enable an online digital publishing solution for its customers. In addition, Rimage partners with third-parties to utilize their competencies in creating products to enhance its product offering. In 2011, Qumu introduced a major software release for both its flagship products, Video Control Center (VCC 6.0) and VideoNet Edge (VNE 2.0). Qumu also partners with third-parties in the design of integration modules and product verification to enhance the capabilities of its product offering.
The industries served by Rimage are subject to rapid technological changes. Other technologies, including online distribution, cloud transport and alternative data storage media, including high capacity hard drives, tape drives and flash memory, currently exist or are under development. All these forces may affect the usage of recordable CD, DVD and Blu-ray media and how companies otherwise distribute content. Rimage believes that it must continue to innovate and anticipate advances in the content distribution industry in order to remain competitive.
Rimage’s expenditures for research and development were $7.3 million, $6.5 million and $7.1 million in 2011, 2010 and 2009, representing 8.7%, 7.3% and 8.6% of revenues, respectively. Rimage anticipates its expenditures in research and development in 2012 will increase relative to the levels experienced during 2011 to support a full year of investments in Qumu’s enterprise video communications product line, continued investment in Rimage’s online digital publishing solution and a sustained level of product development initiatives to support the disc publishing product line.
Patents and Government Regulation
Rimage currently maintains 17 U.S. patents, 12 foreign patents and has three provisional patents filed and two utility patents pending in the U.S. In addition, Rimage has three foreign patent applications which are also pending. Further, Rimage protects the proprietary nature of its software primarily through copyright and license agreements and through close integration with its hardware offerings. It is Rimage’s policy to protect the proprietary nature of its newly developed products whenever they are likely to become significant sources of revenue. No assurance can be given that Rimage will be able to obtain patent or other protection for its products. In addition, Rimage has registered and may in the future register trademarks and other marks used in its business.

As the number of Rimage’s products increases and the functionality of those products expand, Rimage believes that it may become increasingly subject to attempts by others to duplicate its proprietary technology and to the possibility of infringement of Rimage patents. In addition, although Rimage does not believe that any of its products infringe on the rights of others, third parties have claimed, and may in the future claim, Rimage’s products infringe on their rights and these third parties may assert infringement claims against Rimage in the future. Rimage may litigate to enforce patents issued to it and to defend against claimed infringement of the rights of others or to determine the ownership, scope, or validity of Rimage’s proprietary rights and the rights of others. Any claim of infringement against Rimage could involve significant liabilities to third parties, could require Rimage to seek licenses from third parties and could prevent Rimage from manufacturing, selling or using its products.
The FCC requires some of Rimage’s equipment to meet radio frequency emission standards. Rimage takes steps to ensure proper compliance of all products.

As of December 31, 2011, Rimage had 246 full-time employees, including employees added as part of the Qumu acquisition, of which 58 were involved in research and development, 75 in production, testing, repair and customer service, and 113 in sales, marketing, administration and management. None of Rimage’s employees are represented by a labor union or covered by a collective bargaining agreement.
Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
We make statements from time to time regarding our business and prospects, such as projections of future performance, statements of management’s plans and objectives, forecasts of market trends, and other matters that are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Statements containing the words or phrases “will likely result,” “are expected to,” “will continue,” “is anticipated,” “estimates,” “projects,” “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “target,” “goal,” “plans,” “objective,” “should” or similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements may appear in documents, reports, filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), news releases, written or oral presentations made by our authorized officers or other representatives. For such statements, we claim the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
Our future results, including results expressed in or implied by forward-looking statements, involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future actions, outcomes, results or performance. Any forward-looking statement made by or on behalf of us speaks only as of the date on which such statement is made. We do not undertake any obligation to update or keep current any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances arising after the date of such statement.
In addition to other matters identified or described by us from time to time in filings with the SEC, there are many important factors that could cause our future results to differ materially from historical results or trends, results anticipated or planned by us, or the results expressed in or implied by any forward-looking statements. These important factors are described below under Item 1A. Risk Factors.

|
|
ITEM 1A. |
If any of the following risks actually occur, our results of operations, cash flows and the market price of our common stock could be negatively impacted. Although we believe that we have identified and discussed below the key risk factors affecting our business, there may be additional risks and uncertainties that are not presently known or that are not currently believed to be significant that may adversely affect our performance or financial condition.
The following risk factors could cause our actual results to differ materially from the statements we make from time to time regarding our expected future results, including, but not limited to, forecasts regarding estimated revenue, earnings per share or cash flow from our operating activities. Any forecast regarding our future performance reflects various assumptions and is subject to significant uncertainties and risks that could cause the actual results to differ materially from those described in the forecast, including the risks reflected in the risk factors set forth below. Consequently, no forecast or other forward-looking statement can be guaranteed and the variation of actual results or events from such statements may be material and adverse.

Adverse economic conditions, particularly those affecting our customers, resellers and distributors, have harmed and may continue to harm our business.
Unfavorable changes in economic conditions, including recession, inflation, lack of access to capital, lack of consumer confidence or other changes have resulted and may continue to result in lower spending among customers in the industries we serve. Unfavorable economic conditions have also resulted and may continue to result in decreased sales to our resellers and distributors.
Further, we sell our products throughout the United States, as well as in several foreign countries to commercial and government customers. Our business may be adversely affected by factors in the United States and other countries such as disruptions in financial markets, reductions in government spending, or downturns in economic activity in specific countries or regions, or in the various industries in which we operate; social, political or labor conditions in specific countries or regions; or adverse changes in the availability and cost of capital, interest rates, tax rates, or regulations. These factors are beyond our control, but may result in further decreases in spending among customers and softening demand for our products.
Further, challenging economic conditions also may impair the ability of our customers to pay for products and services they have purchased. As a result, our cash flow may be negatively impacted and our allowance for doubtful accounts and write-offs of accounts receivable may increase.
Technology in our industry evolves rapidly, potentially causing our products to become obsolete, and we must continue to enhance existing systems and develop new products to sustain and grow our business.
Rapid technological advances, rapidly changing customer requirements and fluctuations in demand characterize the current market for our products. Further, technology substitution is negatively impacting our revenues from our disc publishing products. Our existing and development-stage products may become obsolete if our competitors introduce newer or more appealing technologies. If these technologies are patented or proprietary to our competitors, we may not be able to access these technologies. We believe that we must continue to innovate and anticipate advances in the content distribution industry in order to remain competitive. If we fail to anticipate or respond to technological developments or customer requirements, or if we are significantly delayed in developing and introducing products, our revenues will decline.
Because the market for our core disc publishing business is mature and our products face competition from other technologies, we expect growth potential in this business to be limited.
Disc publishing is, and is expected to continue to be, an essential part of our business. However, the market for our disc publishing products is mature. Further, technology substitution is occurring within this market. We expect technology substitution to be the primary competitive force impacting our disc publishing business over the next several years. Our disc publishing products compete with online distribution, cloud transport and alternative technologies in the storage media industry, such as high capacity hard drives, tape drives and flash memory.
Due to the maturity of the market for our disc publishing products and competitive pressures, we expect that the demand for our disc publishing products will decline over time, that the prices for these products may decline in response to competitive pressures, and in general, that the opportunities for revenue growth from these products will be limited. Accordingly, we expect that factors will cause our revenue growth from these products to stagnate or to decline over time. However, the rate and the extent to which these factors will cause changes in our disc publishing business cannot be predicted with certainty. A surge in the popularity of any of these alternative technologies, or our inability to successfully offset the decline in demand for our disc publishing products with other sources of revenue, could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and prospects.
We may not be successful at implementing our growth strategy.
In 2010, we began a multi-year process aimed at transforming Rimage into a higher-performing business. Our strategy includes strengthening our core disc publishing business; generating new revenue streams by leveraging our core capabilities and transitioning from a hardware supplier into a provider of total solutions; and identifying and investing in future opportunities in adjacent markets with strong growth potential. We are now focused on expanding our product offering beyond our disc publishing business with industry-leading solutions that allow us to distribute live, on-demand, downloaded and optical media content for a broad range of applications, on any mobile or desktop device. We believe that this strategy will allow us to mitigate the challenges faced by our mature disc publishing business and capitalize on emerging technologies that address the content distribution needs of our customers.
10
We have pursued this strategy by investing in development of new products, such as our online publishing solution, and by making acquisitions of products and technologies that we believe further our strategy, such as our acquisition of the Qumu products for enterprise video communications. We expect to continue to pursue this strategy through internal growth and possible acquisitions.
We cannot ensure that this growth strategy will be successful either in the short-term or in the long-term, or that this strategy will generate a positive return on our investment. Further, if customer preferences and the content distribution industry do not evolve as we believe they will, many of our strategic initiatives and investments may be of limited value.
Moreover, we may not execute successfully on our growth strategy because of errors in product planning or timing, technical hurdles that we fail to overcome in a timely fashion, or lack of appropriate resources. We also may not execute successfully on our growth strategy because of difficulty in identifying suitable acquisition candidates and negotiating acceptable terms for any acquisition, challenges in integrating the acquired business, technologies or products, or our failure to realize the anticipated benefits of the acquisition. Our growth strategy for our recently acquired Qumu enterprise video communications business includes leveraging our distribution channel to expand sales of these products internationally. We may not be successful in achieving significant sales of these products internationally due to sales distribution challenges or other factors. Our failure to successfully execute on our growth strategy, even if the strategy is sound, could result in competitors providing products before we do and loss of market share and sales.
Because of our change in strategic direction in 2010, our historical financial results may not be indicative of our future financial results. Further, because our operating history with respect to our newly-acquired Qumu business is limited and our online publishing business is still under development, our current financial results may provide only a limited basis for investors to assess our current or future business as a whole.
We may not be successful in developing new products that further our growth strategy.
Our growth strategy includes the development and commercialization of an online publishing solution designed to increase revenue and drive earnings growth. In the future, we expect to develop additional products that further our growth strategy. The process of developing new technology is complex and uncertain, and if we fail to accurately predict customers’ changing needs and emerging technological trends our business could be harmed. We must commit significant resources to developing our online publishing solution before knowing whether our investments will result in products the market will accept. Our online publishing solution is currently in the proof of concept testing stage, with the goal of launching a first-generation online publishing solution by the second quarter of 2012. The online publishing solution is more software centric than our traditional core disc publishing and employs a SaaS (Software as a Service) model, which is a new business for us. We may not currently possess the proper skills to effectively develop and market this new publishing solution or other new products or to achieve success in this new type of market. The success of new products depends on several factors, including proper new product definition, development costs, timely completion and introduction of these products, differentiation of new products from those of our competitors, and market acceptance of these products. There can be no assurance that we will develop and bring new products to market in a timely manner, or achieve market acceptance of our products or that products and technologies developed by others will not render our products or technologies obsolete or noncompetitive.
We have been investing in initiatives that we believe further our strategy and if the return on these investments is lower or develops more slowly than we expect, our operating results may be harmed.
We have been dedicating resources to initiatives that we believe further our growth strategy to distribute live, on-demand, downloaded and optical media content for a broad range of applications, on any mobile or desktop device. We believe our online publishing solution and acquisition of Qumu further this growth strategy. However, the return on our investments in these initiatives may be lower, or may develop more slowly, than we expect. If we do not achieve the benefits anticipated from these investments or if the achievement of these benefits is delayed, our operating results may be adversely affected.
We face intense competition in all areas of our business and such competition may result in price reductions, lower gross profits and loss of market share.
Our products face intense competition, both from other products and from other technologies, both in the U.S. and in foreign markets. In our disc publishing business, we compete with other providers of disc publishing systems and solutions, such as Primera Technology, Inc., Teac America, Inc., Seiko Epson Corporation and Microtech Systems, Inc. Our disc publishing products also compete with online distribution, cloud transport and alternative technologies in the storage media industry, such as high capacity hard drives, tape drives and flash memory. In our Qumu business, we compete with others who deliver video content to businesses such as Cisco, Polycom and vBrick. We are also developing a solution that provides online publishing of digital content and expect to face intense competition from other online publishing products and other technologies. Because of the relatively low barriers to entry in enterprise video market and the online publishing market, we expect the intensity of competition faced by our Qumu products and online publishing product to increase in the future from other established and emerging companies. In addition, some of our competitors may have greater resources, including marketing, financial, technical or engineering resources, than we do.
11
To remain competitive, we believe that we must continue to provide:
|
|
|
|
|
|
• |
Technologically advanced products and solutions that anticipate and satisfy the demands of end-users; |
|
|
||
|
|
• |
Continuing advancements or innovations in our product offerings, including products with price-performance advantages or value-added features in security, reliability or other key areas of customer interest; |
|
|
||
|
|
• |
Innovations in digital content publishing; |
|
|
||
|
|
• |
A responsive and effective sales force; |
|
|
||
|
|
• |
A dependable and efficient sales distribution network; |
|
|
||
|
|
• |
Superior customer service; and |
|
|
||
|
|
• |
High levels of quality and reliability. |
We cannot assure you that we will be able to compete successfully against our current or future competitors. Competition may result in price reductions, lower gross profit margins, increased discounts to customers and loss of market share, and could require increased spending by us on research and development, sales and marketing and customer support.
The acquisition of Qumu could result in operating difficulties and other harmful consequences that may adversely impact our business and results of operations.
We acquired Qumu, Inc. by merger in October 2011. The process of integrating the Qumu business into the existing Rimage business may involve operating difficulties and expense. The areas where we face risks include:
|
|
|
|
|
|
• |
Diversion of management time and focus from operating our business to the integration challenges; |
|
|
||
|
|
• |
Retention of Qumu customers and generating sales from cross-selling to the installed base of customers of both Rimage and Qumu; |
|
|
||
|
|
• |
Cultural challenges associated with integrating Qumu sales employees into our organization and retention of these employees, as well as retention of our current sales and other employees during this period of change at our company; |
|
|
||
|
|
• |
Challenges associated with integrating and capitalizing on the Qumu technologies; |
|
|
||
|
|
• |
Managing larger and more widespread operations resulting from the Qumu acquisition; |
|
|
||
|
|
• |
Development of and expansion of the U.S. and international markets for the Qumu product; and |
|
|
||
|
|
• |
Integrating the Qumu business with our online publishing solution while it is still in development. |
Additionally, a potential shift of contracted sales of Qumu products from perpetual licenses to term licenses would adversely impact recognized revenue and profitability in the short-term.
Our failure to address these risks or other problems encountered in connection with the Qumu integration could cause us to fail to realize the anticipated benefits of this transaction, incur unanticipated liabilities, and harm our business generally.
We sell a significant portion of our disc publishing products internationally, which exposes us to risks associated with foreign operations.
We sell a significant amount of our disc publishing products to customers outside the United States, particularly in Europe, Asia and Latin America. International sales accounted for 38% of our consolidated revenues for the year ended December 31, 2011, 35% of our revenues for the year ended December 31, 2010, and 41% for the year ended December 31, 2009. We expect that shipments to international customers, including customers in Europe, Asia and Latin America, will continue to account for a significant portion of our net sales. Sales outside the United States involve the following risks, among others:
|
|
|
|
|
|
• |
Foreign governments may impose tariffs, quotas and taxes; |
|
|
||
|
|
• |
The demand for our products will depend, in part, on local economic health; |
|
|
||
|
|
• |
Political and economic instability may reduce demand for our products; |
|
|
||
|
|
• |
Restrictions on the export or import of technology may reduce or eliminate our ability to sell in certain markets; |
|
|
||
|
|
• |
Potentially limited intellectual property protection in certain countries may limit our recourse against infringing products or cause us to refrain from selling in certain markets; |
|
|
||
|
|
• |
Potential difficulties in managing our international operations; |
|
|
||
|
|
• |
The burden and cost of complying with a variety of foreign laws; |
|
|
||
|
|
• |
We may decide to price our products in foreign currency denominations; |
|
|
||
|
|
• |
Our contracts with foreign distributors and resellers cannot fully protect us against political and economic instability; |
|
|
||
|
|
• |
Potential challenges operating our new majority-owned China joint venture in an emerging market characterized by strict government controls and working effectively with our joint venture partner; |
|
|
||
|
|
• |
Potential difficulties in collecting receivables; and |
|
|
||
|
|
• |
We may not be able to control our international distributors’ efforts on our behalf. |
12
The financial results of our German and Japanese subsidiaries and majority-owned Chinese joint venture are translated into U.S. dollars for consolidation with our overall financial results. Additionally, we hedge against currency fluctuations associated with foreign currency denominated transactions (principally the Euro) with Rimage Europe. Despite our hedging activity, currency translations and fluctuations may adversely affect the financial performance of our consolidated operations. Currency fluctuations may also increase the relative price of our product in foreign markets and thereby could also cause our products to become less affordable or less price competitive than those of foreign manufacturers. These risks associated with foreign operations may have a material adverse effect on our revenue from or costs associated with international sales.
If our domestic or international intellectual property rights are not adequately protected, others may offer products similar to ours which could depress our product selling prices and gross profit or result in loss of market share.
We believe that protecting our proprietary technology is important to our success and competitive positioning. In addition to common law intellectual property rights, we rely on patents, trade secrets, trademarks, copyrights, know-how, license agreements and contractual provisions to establish and protect our intellectual property rights. However, these legal means afford us only limited protection and may not adequately protect our rights or remedies to gain or keep any advantages we may have over our competitors.
If the open source software incorporated into our Qumu products were to become unavailable or if we violate the terms of open source licenses, it could adversely affect sales of our products, which could disrupt our business and harm our financial results.
Our Qumu products incorporate “open source” software. Open source software is made available to us and to the public by its authors or other third parties under licenses that impose certain obligations on licensees that re-distribute or make derivative works of the open source software. We may not be able to replace the functionality provided by the open source software currently incorporated in our Qumu products if that software becomes unavailable, obsolete or incompatible with future versions of the Qumu products. In addition, we must carefully monitor our compliance with the licensing requirements applicable to that open source software. If Qumu has failed or if in the future we fail to comply with the applicable license requirements, we might lose the right to use the subject open source software. The terms of some open source licenses would require us to give our customers significant rights to open source software that is subject to those licenses and is incorporated in Qumu products. This would include the right to obtain from us the source code form of that open source software, and the right to use, modify and distribute that open source software to others. We may be required to provide these rights to customers on a royalty-free basis. Those rights might also extend to modifications and additions we make to the subject open source software. That open source software, and those modifications and additions, also might be obtained by our competitors and used in competing products.
The enforceability and interpretation of open source licenses remains uncertain under applicable law. Unfavorable court decisions could require us to replace open source software incorporated in our products. In some cases this might require us to obtain licenses to commercial software under terms that restrict our use of that commercial software and require us to pay royalties. In some cases we might need to redesign our Qumu products, or to discontinue the sale of our Qumu products if a redesign could not be accomplished on a timely basis. These same consequences result if our use of any open source software or commercial software is found to infringe any intellectual property right of another party. Any of these occurrences would harm our business, operating results and financial condition.
We cannot assure you that others may not independently develop the same or similar technologies or otherwise obtain access to our technology and trade secrets.
Our competitors, who may have or could develop or acquire significant resources, may make substantial investments in competing technologies, or may apply for and obtain patents that will prevent, limit or interfere with our ability to manufacture or market our products. Further, although we do not believe that any of our products infringe on the rights of others, third parties have claimed, and may claim in the future, that our products infringe on their rights, and these third parties may assert infringement claims against us in the future.
Costly litigation may be necessary to enforce patents issued to us, to protect trade secrets or “know-how” we own, to defend us against claimed infringement of the rights of others or to determine the ownership, scope, or validity of our proprietary rights and the rights of others. Any claim of infringement against us may involve significant liabilities to third parties, could require us to seek licenses from third parties, and could prevent us from manufacturing, selling, or using our products. The occurrence of this litigation, or the effect of an adverse determination in any of this type of litigation, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Further, the laws of some of the countries in which our products are or may be sold may not protect our products and intellectual property to the same extent as the United States or at all. Our failure to protect or enforce our intellectual property rights could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
13
Any failure of major elements of our Qumu operations could lead to significant disruptions in the ability to serve customers, which could damage our reputation, reduce our revenues or otherwise harm our business.
Our Qumu business is dependent upon providing customers with fast, efficient and reliable services. A reduction in the performance, reliability or availability of Qumu’s network infrastructure may harm our ability to distribute content to our customers, as well as our reputation and ability to attract and retain customers. Qumu’s systems and operations are susceptible to, and could be damaged or interrupted by outages caused by fire, flood, power loss, telecommunications failure, Internet or mobile network breakdown, earthquake and similar events. Qumu’s systems are also subject to human error, security breaches, power losses, computer viruses, break-ins, “denial of service” attacks, sabotage, intentional acts of vandalism and tampering designed to disrupt our computer systems and network communications. Our failure to protect our network against damage from any of these events could harm our business.
Qumu’s operations also depend on web browsers, ISPs (Internet service providers) and mobile networks to provide its customers’ end-users with access to websites, streaming and mobile content. Many of these providers have experienced outages in the past, and could experience outages, delays and other difficulties due to system failures unrelated to the Qumu systems. Any such outage, delay or difficulty could adversely affect our ability to effectively provide Qumu’s products and services, which would harm our business.
Our sales will decline, and our business will be materially harmed, if our sales and marketing efforts are not effective.
Products that provide integrated solutions and new publishing platforms are new businesses for us. There is a risk that we may not have the proper skills to be effective in selling these new products.
For sales that are made to customers through value-added resellers, distributors or other strategic partners, we depend on these businesses to provide effective sales and marketing support to our products. Our resellers and distributors are independent businesses that we do not control. Our agreements with resellers and distributors do not contain requirements that a certain percentage of such parties’ sales are of our products. Further, some of our channel partners are small organizations with limited capital, and our success in distributing our products to end-users will depend upon the continued viability and financial stability of these entities. These channel partners may choose to devote their efforts to other products in different markets or reduce or fail to devote the necessary resources to provide effective sales and marketing support of our products, any of which could harm our business by reducing sales to customers.
A significant portion of our sales are made into applications that require our solutions to be integrated into a workflow that includes other equipment. The companies that make and sell this equipment are independent businesses that we do not control. Our integration and coordination with these companies is material to the effectiveness of our solutions. These companies may choose to take actions that impair the effectiveness of our products in customer workflows.
We believe that our future growth and success will depend upon the success of our sales and marketing efforts as well as those of our value-added resellers, distributors or other strategic partners.
If we do not maintain adequate inventories of component parts or finished goods, or if we fail to adequately forecast demand, the likely resulting delays in producing our publishing systems would damage our business.
We forecast production based on past sales and our estimates of future demand. In the event that we significantly underestimate our needs or encounter an unexpectedly high level of demand for our systems or our suppliers are unable to deliver our orders of components in a timely manner, we may be unable to fill our product orders on time which could harm our reputation and result in reduced sales.
We rely on single-source suppliers, which could cause delays, increases in costs or prevent us from completing customer orders, all of which could materially harm our business.
We assemble our publishing systems using materials and components supplied by various subcontractors and suppliers. We purchase critical components for our systems, including our Everest printers, DVD-R drives, Blu-ray drives, circuit boards, electric motors, machined and molded parts, precision sheet metal assemblies and mechanical parts from third parties. Some of our subcontractors and suppliers are the sole source of these components and these third parties may also own technology and manufacturing know-how required to manufacture critical components. If any of our suppliers is unable to ship critical components, we would be unable to assemble and ship products to our resellers or end-user customers. If the price of these components increases for any reason, or if these suppliers are unable or unwilling to deliver, we may have to find another source, which could result in interruptions, increased costs, delays, loss of sales and quality control problems. We purchase these components pursuant to our standard form of purchase order, submitted to the supplier from time to time as the components are needed.
14
The termination or interruption of any of these relationships, or the failure of these manufacturers or suppliers to supply products or components to us on a timely basis or in sufficient quantities, likely would cause us to be unable to meet orders for our products and harm our reputation and our business. For the majority of our critical components, we have identified alternative suppliers. We depend upon a single-source supplier for our Everest printers and associated ribbons, and beginning in March 2010, our Rimage Professional Series 5400N and Rimage Professional Series 3400 systems. This single-source supplier is located in Japan. An earthquake and accompanying tsunami struck the north-east area of Japan on March 11, 2011, causing significant damage in the surrounding region. A disruption in the supply of these products and systems from this supplier would adversely affect our results of operations. Also, for these products, it is more difficult to identify an alternative supplier because of the proprietary information and technology currently held by this supplier. Although we own the rights to the technology, if we were unable to effectively transition the technology and proprietary information used by this supplier to alternative suppliers, the design and manufacture of these products to our specifications may be significantly delayed, resulting in potential production delays and significant expense. Further, if we obtain a new supplier for a component or product or use an alternative component in our product, we may need to conduct additional testing of our products to ensure the product meets our quality and performance standards. Any delays in delivery of our product to end-users, distributors or resellers could be extended, and our costs associated with the change in product manufacturing could increase.
The failure of our components suppliers to supply us with the components consistent with our requirements as to quality, quantity and timeliness could materially harm our business by causing delays, loss of sales, increases in costs and lower gross profit margins.
Our disc publishing products must be compatible with products designed and manufactured by others and, in the event of design changes or the introduction of new products by them or us, our products must continue to be compatible with products of others.
Our digital disc publishing systems incorporate computer and related computer equipment, hardware and software manufactured by others. Our products are designed to provide end users with a fully-integrated publishing system and therefore, our products must operate with the computer and related equipment of others to function properly for end users. Problems with the products of others may adversely affect the performance and reliability of our publishing system products and damage our reputation with end users. Further, if there are changes in our products, changes in the computer or computer related equipment integrated into our products or if we offer new products, we must maintain compatibility and interoperability of our products with the products of others. We cannot assure you that we will be able to adapt our products to be compatible with any newly designed product of another party. We would likely incur substantial costs to test and “de-bug” any newly designed product that we integrate into our products. Further, our new product development efforts may be hampered by our need to maintain compatibility with the products of others, and we may incur additional expense designing for compatibility.
Our publishing systems may have manufacturing or design defects that we discover after shipment, which could negatively affect our revenues, increase our costs and harm our reputation.
Our publishing systems are complex and may contain undetected and unexpected defects, errors or failures. If these product defects are substantial, the result could be product recalls, an increased amount of product returns, loss of market acceptance and damage to our reputation, all of which could increase our costs and cause us to lose sales. We carry general commercial liability insurance covering our products with policy limits per occurrence and in the aggregate that we have deemed to be sufficient. We cannot predict, however, whether this insurance is sufficient, or if not, whether we will be able to obtain sufficient insurance to cover the risks associated with our business or whether such insurance will be available at premiums that are commercially reasonable. In addition, these insurance policies must be renewed annually. Although we have been able to obtain liability insurance, such insurance may not be available in the future on acceptable terms, if at all. A successful claim against us or settlement by us in excess of our insurance coverage or our inability to maintain insurance in the future could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, liquidity and financial condition.
If our systems fail to comply with domestic and international government regulations, or if these regulations result in a barrier to our business, we could lose sales.
Our systems must comply with various domestic and international laws, regulations and standards. In the event that we are unable or unwilling to comply with any such laws, regulations or standards, we may decide not to conduct business in certain markets. Particularly in international markets, we may experience difficulty in securing required licenses or permits on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. Failure to comply with existing or evolving laws or regulations, including export and import restrictions and barriers, or to obtain timely domestic or foreign regulatory approvals or certificates could result in lost sales.
Natural disasters that affect our suppliers could have a material adverse effect on our business.
The manufacturing facilities of many of our suppliers are concentrated in certain geographic locations in Asia. Some of these geographic locations are particularly prone to floods, earthquakes, tsunamis or other natural disasters. Any disaster, condition or event that adversely affects any of these facilities, or disrupts cargo operations or freight lanes, would significantly affect our supply of components and products, which could impact our operating results by impairing our ability to timely and efficiently deliver our products.
15
Fluctuations in our future operating results may negatively affect the market price of our common stock.
We have experienced fluctuations in our quarterly operating results, and we expect those fluctuations to continue due to a variety of factors. Some of the factors that influence our quarterly operating results include:
|
|
|
|
|
|
• |
The number and mix of products sold in the quarter; |
|
|
||
|
|
• |
The structure of Qumu’s license arrangements with its customers, particularly the mix of term and perpetual licenses; |
|
|
||
|
|
• |
The timing of major development projects and market launch of new business platforms; |
|
|
||
|
|
• |
The availability and cost of components and materials; |
|
|
||
|
|
• |
Timing, costs and benefits of new product introductions; |
|
|
||
|
|
• |
Customer order size and shipment timing; |
|
|
||
|
|
• |
Seasonal factors affecting timing of purchase orders; |
|
|
||
|
|
• |
Promotions by ourselves or competitors, and the timing of the promotion; |
|
|
||
|
|
• |
The impact to the marketplace of competitive products and pricing; and |
|
|
||
|
|
• |
The timing and level of operating expenses; and |
|
|
||
|
|
• |
General economic and market conditions including market uncertainty. |
Because of these factors, our quarterly operating results are difficult to predict and are likely to vary in the future. If our operating results are below financial analysts’ or investors’ expectations, the market price of our common stock may fall abruptly and significantly.
If we fail to retain and attract highly skilled managerial and technical personnel, we may fail to remain competitive.
Our future success depends, in significant part, upon the continued service and performance of our senior management and other key personnel. The loss of the services of our management team, some of whom have significant experience in our industry, and other key personnel could impair our ability to effectively manage our company and to carry out our business plan. We do not carry life insurance on any of our executive officers. In addition, competition for skilled employees in our industry is intense. Our future success also depends on our continuing ability to attract, retain and motivate highly qualified managerial, technical and sales personnel. Our inability to retain or attract qualified personnel could have a significant negative effect and thereby materially harm our business and financial condition.
Our stock price may be volatile, and a shareholder’s investment could decline in value.
Our stock price has fluctuated in the past and may continue to fluctuate significantly, making it difficult for an investor to resell shares or to resell shares at an attractive price. The market prices for securities of technology companies, like Rimage, have historically been highly volatile. Future events concerning us or our competitors could cause such volatility, including:
|
|
|
|
|
|
• |
Actual or anticipated variations in our operating results; |
|
|
||
|
|
• |
Investments required in infrastructure and/or personnel to meet long-term strategic objectives; |
|
|
||
|
|
• |
Technological innovations or new commercial products introduced by us or our competitors; |
|
|
||
|
|
• |
Developments concerning proprietary rights; |
|
|
||
|
|
• |
Changes in senior management; |
|
|
||
|
|
• |
Potential acquisition or strategic alliance activities; |
|
|
||
|
|
• |
Investor perception of us and our industry; |
|
|
||
|
|
• |
General economic and market conditions including market uncertainty; |
|
|
||
|
|
• |
National or global political events; and |
|
|
||
|
|
• |
Public confidence in the securities markets and regulation by or of the securities markets. |
In addition, the stock market is subject to price and volume fluctuations that affect the market prices for companies in general, and small-capitalization, high-technology companies in particular, which are often unrelated to the operating performance of these companies. Any failure by us to meet or exceed estimates of financial analysts is likely to cause a decline in our common stock price. Further, recent economic conditions have resulted in significant fluctuations and significant declines in stock prices for many companies, including Rimage.
16
Future sales of shares of our common stock in the public market may negatively affect our stock price.
Future sales of our common stock, or the perception that these sales could occur, could have a significant negative effect on the market price of our common stock. As of February 29, 2012 there are 10,203,734 shares of our common stock outstanding, of which approximately 1,000,000 were issued in connection with the acquisition of Qumu and are subject to restrictions on transfer through a lock-up letter agreement. The transfer restrictions lapse as to one-third of the shares on each of April 7, 2012, July 6, 2012 and October 9, 2012. Following lapse of the transfer restrictions imposed through the lock-up letter agreement, the shares will be freely tradable without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act, unless the shares are held by “affiliates” of Rimage, as that term is defined in Rule 144 of the Securities Act. In addition, upon exercise of outstanding options, the number of shares outstanding of our common stock could increase substantially. This increase, in turn, could dilute future earnings per share, if any, and could depress the market value of our common stock. Dilution and potential dilution, the availability of a large amount of shares for sale, and the possibility of additional issuances and sales of our common stock may negatively affect both the trading price of our common stock and the liquidity of our common stock. These sales also might make it more difficult for us to sell equity securities or equity-related securities in the future at a time and price that we would deem appropriate.
Provisions of Minnesota law, our bylaws and other agreements may deter a change of control of our company and may have a possible negative effect on our stock price.
Certain provisions of Minnesota law, our bylaws and other agreements may make it more difficult for a third-party to acquire, or discourage a third-party from attempting to acquire, control of our company, including:
|
|
|
|
|
|
• |
The provisions of Minnesota law relating to business combinations and control share acquisitions; |
|
|
||
|
|
• |
The provisions of our bylaws regarding the business properly brought before shareholders; |
|
|
||
|
|
• |
The right of our Board of Directors to establish more than one class or series of shares and to fix the relative rights and preferences of any such different classes or series; |
|
|
||
|
|
• |
Our shareholder rights plan, which would cause substantial dilution to any person or group attempting to acquire our company on terms not approved in advance by our Board of Directors; |
|
|
||
|
|
• |
The provisions of our stock option plans allowing for the acceleration of vesting or payments of awards granted under the plans in the event of specified events that result in a “change in control” and |
|
|
||
|
|
• |
The provisions of our agreements provide for severance payments to our executive officers in the event of certain terminations following a “change in control.” |
These measures could discourage or prevent a takeover of our company or changes in our management, even if an acquisition or such changes would be beneficial to our shareholders. This may have a negative effect on the price of our common stock.
Compliance with changing regulation of corporate governance and public disclosure may result in additional expenses.
Keeping abreast of, and in compliance with, changing laws, regulations and standards relating to corporate governance and public company disclosure requirements, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and in particular Section 404 of that Act relating to management certification of internal controls, the regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market have required an increased amount of management attention and external resources. We intend to invest all reasonably necessary resources to comply with evolving corporate governance and public disclosure standards, and this investment may result in increased general and administrative expenses and a diversion of management time and attention from revenue-generating activities to compliance activities.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS |
On August 26, 2011, the Company brought a declaratory judgment action against Innovative Automation, LLC, seeking a declaration that the Company does not infringe a patent purportedly owned by Innovative Automation (“asserted patent”) and that the asserted patent is invalid. The asserted patent pertains to methods and a system for providing automated digital data duplication. This case was brought in California and has been combined with two other cases brought by Innovative Automation against two of the Company’s customers. On August 30, 2011, Innovative Automation filed a separate lawsuit in Texas against the Company, some of the Company’s customers, and other defendants, alleging infringement of the asserted patent. On February 6, 2012, a Petition for Reexamination was filed with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, seeking to invalidate each claim of the asserted patent. The Company’s request for reexamination of the asserted patent was granted in early March 2012. The Company believes that the allegations that it infringes any valid claim of the asserted patent are without merit and intends to defend against these claims vigorously. These cases are in the early stages of litigation, and while there can be no assurance as to the outcome of these matters, the Company believes they will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
The Company is exposed to a number of asserted and unasserted legal claims encountered in the ordinary course of its business. Although the outcome of any such legal actions cannot be predicted, management believes that there are no pending legal proceedings against or involving the Company for which the outcome is likely to have a material adverse effect upon its financial position or results of operations.

(1) Excludes shares of common stock listed in the first column.
(2) Consists of non-qualified stock option grants to two of the Company’s executive officers, Sherman L. Black and Raymond R. Hood, on April 1, 2009 and October 10, 2011, the first day of their respective employment with Rimage. The stock options were granted outside of the Company’s current equity incentive plan, the 2007 Stock Incentive Plan, as “inducement awards” pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 4350(i)(1)(A)(iv). The options have an exercise price equal to the closing price of the Company’s common stock as reported by the Nasdaq Stock Market on the grant dates, vest in four equal installments on each of the first four anniversaries of the date of grant, and have a term of seven years. In other respects, the options were structured to mirror the terms of options granted under the Company’s 2007 Stock Incentive Plan and are subject to a stock option plan and agreement entered into by and between the Company and each executive officer.

Rimage helps businesses deliver digital content directly and securely to their customers and employees. Its disc publishing business supplies customers in North America, Europe and Asia with industry-leading solutions that archive, distribute and protect content on CDs, DVDs and Blu-ray Discs™. With its acquisition of Qumu, further described below, Rimage entered the rapidly growing enterprise video communications market. The combination of Qumu with Rimage’s disc publishing business, and Rimage’s online publishing initiative under development, enables businesses to securely deliver their videos, documents, audio files and images in today’s multi-platform, multi-device world.
Rimage distributes its disc publishing systems from its operations in the United States, Germany and Japan, and effective in the third quarter 2010, from its joint venture operations in China. The Company also distributes related consumables for use with its disc publishing systems, consisting of media kits, ribbons, ink cartridges and Rimage-branded blank CD-R, DVD-R and Blu-ray media. These systems allow customers to distribute digital content in markets and applications such as medical imaging; video workflows, manufacturing, business services, including banking and finance; and government law enforcement, including surveillance and evidence management. As Rimage’s sales within North America and Europe have averaged approximately 90% of total sales over the past three years, the strength of the economies in these regions plays an important role in determining the success of Rimage.
On October 10, 2011, the Company acquired 100% of the capital stock of Qumu pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”). Based in San Bruno, California, Qumu is a leading supplier of enterprise video communication solutions and social enterprise applications for business. Qumu’s products are expected to complement Rimage’s online publishing solution currently under development, and each company is expected to benefit from the other’s existing customer base. As a result of the acquisition, Qumu is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.
After inclusion of working capital and other adjustments required under the Merger Agreement, the aggregate purchase price totaled approximately $53 million, consisting of approximately $39 million in net cash outlay and approximately 1,000,000 shares of Rimage’s common stock. For the purposes of calculating the number of shares of common stock issuable in the merger, the parties agreed upon a value of $13.1865 per share. Pursuant to the terms of a lock-up agreement, the shares issued in the merger will be restricted from transfer, subject to certain exceptions. The restrictions will lapse for one-third of the shares at each of 180 days, 270 days and 365 days following the effective date of the merger. Following the acquisition, Qumu’s liabilities consisted of trade payables, accrued operating expenses and deferred income related primarily to active software maintenance contracts. Of the cash amounts payable in the merger, $5.2 million is subject to escrow for a one-year period to secure the indemnification obligations to the Company under the Merger Agreement.
22
Through the acquisition of Qumu, the Company’s new enterprise video communications solutions are deployed primarily through the sale of software licenses and software on a server appliance. Software maintenance contracts and professional services are also sold with these solutions. The Company’s disc publishing business earns revenues through the sale of equipment, consumables and parts as well as maintenance contracts, repair and installation services. Product revenues on the accompanying consolidated statements of income include the Company’s sale of equipment and appliances, consumables, parts and software licenses. Service revenues on the consolidated statements of income include revenues from maintenance contracts, repair, installation and professional services. Rimage has no long-term debt and does not require significant capital investment as all fabrication of its products is outsourced to vendors.
As part of its plan to improve the efficiency of its sales channels, effective April 1, 2010, Rimage discontinued its distributor relationships with distributors in the United States, Germany, and the United Kingdom, and now sells products in these regions to end-user customers primarily through value-added resellers or other strategic partners, and also directly to select accounts through its own sales force.
Revenues. Total revenues were $83.6 million for 2011, reflecting a 5.7% reduction from total revenues of $88.7 million in 2010, which increased 7% from total revenues of $83.2 million in 2009. The $5.1 million decline in total revenues from 2010 to 2011 reflects a $6.9 million reduction in disc publishing product line revenues, partially offset by $1.8 million in new revenues generated by the enterprise video communications product line as a result of the Company’s acquisition of Qumu effective October 10, 2011. The $5.1 million decrease in total revenues consists of a $7.6 million decrease in product revenues and a $2.5 million increase in service revenues. The aggregate decline in product revenues reflects an $8.3 million reduction in sales of disc publishing products, partially offset by $0.7 million in new product revenues generated by Qumu’s enterprise video communications product line. The increase in total service revenues resulted from an increase in disc publishing revenues of $1.4 million and new service revenues of $1.1 million generated from Qumu’s enterprise video communications product line. Foreign currency fluctuations increased 2011 consolidated revenues by $1.4 million relative to 2010.
The $8.3 million reduction in product revenues in the disc publishing product line in 2011 as compared to the prior year reflects a $10.4 million reduction in equipment revenues, partially offset by a $2.1 million increase in consumables and parts sales. The decrease in equipment sales reflects declines in the volume of Professional Series and Desktop Series equipment sales of $10.0 million and $0.8 million, respectively, partially offset by an increase in sales of Producer Series equipment of $0.4 million. The reduction in sales of Professional Series equipment was largely driven by an $8.9 million decline in sales of these products in the U.S. retail market segment, due primarily to the completion in the first quarter of 2011 of a multi-system sales agreement with a retail customer obtained in the second quarter of 2010. A $1.4 million sale to a federal law enforcement agency in the third quarter of 2010 and a reduced volume of sales in Europe also contributed to the decline in Professional Series equipment revenues as compared to the prior year. The increase in sales of Producer Series products was primarily impacted by a $1.1 million sale in the third quarter to a federal law enforcement agency and also sales to a U.S. retail customer in the second quarter. The shift in the distribution of sales in the current year from Professional to Producer Series equipment resulted in an aggregate increase in average selling prices, which partially offset the impact of decreased sales volumes. The growth in sales of consumable products during the current year was driven by a $2.0 million increase in sales of media and media kits primarily to U.S. and Asian channel partners. The increase in channel partner sales was impacted by the Company’s sales model change in 2010, which caused key distributors in the U.S. to reduce purchases and sell through remaining media kit inventories in the first quarter of 2010, pending termination of the distributor agreements effective March 31, 2010.
The increase in disc publishing service related revenues in the current year of $1.4 million was primarily the result of a significant increase in the installed base of systems covered by a maintenance contract, driven largely by the multi-system sales to a U.S. retail customer starting in the second quarter of 2010 and continuing through 2011. Service revenues also rose internationally as the Company increased its attachment of maintenance contracts to new system sales.
Disc publishing recurring revenues, consisting of consumables, parts, maintenance contracts and service, comprised 63% of total disc publishing revenues for the year ended December 31, 2011, compared to 54% in the prior-year. Sales of Producer and Professional Series equipment comprised 19% and 15% of total disc publishing revenues in 2011, respectively, compared to 17% and 25%, respectively, in the prior-year. Remaining revenues in each year were generated by sales of Desktop Series equipment, representing 3% and 4% of revenues in 2011 and 2010, respectively.
The enterprise video communications product line generated total revenues of $1.8 million since the Company’s acquisition of Qumu in October 2011. Product revenues comprised 39% of total revenues in this new product line, consisting of software licenses and software on a server appliance of $0.4 and $0.3 million, respectively. Service related revenues comprised the remaining 61% of revenues, consisting of software maintenance contracts and professional services of $0.7 million and $0.4 million, respectively.
23
The $5.5 million growth in total revenues from 2009 to 2010 reflects a $6.5 million or 9% increase in product revenues, partially offset by a $1.0 million or 9% decrease in service revenues. The increase in product revenues resulted from a $7.9 million increase in equipment sales, partially offset by a $1.4 million reduction in sales of consumable products and parts. The overall increase in equipment sales in 2010 was primarily impacted by $9.3 million in sales of Professional product line equipment under a multi-system sales agreement with a retail customer, as well as increased sales to federal government agencies, driven by sales of the Company’s new surveillance solutions. These gains were partially offset by decreases in equipment sales in the Company’s European markets, impacted unfavorably by foreign currency fluctuations and reduced sales to medical equipment manufacturers and channel partners. The decrease in consumable product sales included a $0.6 million decline in the volume of ribbon and ink cartridge sales and a $0.5 million reduction in media and media kit sales. Reduced utilization by end-user customers of the Company’s installed base of digital publishing systems in its U.S. and European markets impacted the reduction in sales of consumable products. The decline in service-related revenues in 2010 was primarily impacted by the timing and amount of maintenance contract renewals resulting in the recognition of a reduced level of maintenance contract revenues. Recurring revenues, consisting of consumables, parts, maintenance contracts and service, comprised 54% of total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2010, compared to 60% in the prior-year period. Sales of Producer and Professional Series equipment comprised 17% and 25% of total revenues in 2010, respectively, compared to 21% and 12%, respectively, in the prior-year. The higher volume and concentration of Professional Series equipment sales in 2010 resulted from strong sales of Rimage’s Professional Series 5400N and 3400 publishing systems, introduced by the Company in March 2010, including sales of the 5400N under the multi-system sales agreement with a retail customer described above. Remaining revenues in each year were generated by sales of Desktop Series equipment, representing 4% and 6% of revenues in 2010 and 2009, respectively.
International disc publishing product line sales, inclusive of the impact of currency changes, increased 2% in 2011 from 2010 and comprised 39% of total disc publishing sales, compared to 35% in 2010 and 41% in 2009. The changes in international sales were driven by an 18% aggregate increase in sales in the Company’s Asian and Latin American markets, countered by declining sales in the Company’s European markets of 4%. The current-year reduction in sales in the Company’s European markets was the result of a challenging economic environment and the impact of increased competition, partially offset by the favorable impact of foreign currency fluctuations which increased European sales by approximately 5% in 2011. The European market, however, continued to generate the majority of international sales. Without the impact of currency changes, international revenues would have decreased $0.9 million, or 3% in 2011 compared to 2010. In the aggregate, currency fluctuations affecting primarily the Company’s European and Japanese operations increased consolidated revenues by 1.7% in 2011 relative to 2010 and decreased consolidated revenues by 1.1% in 2010 relative to 2009.
Future revenues will be dependent upon many factors, including the continued growth of Qumu’s enterprise video communications product line, the timing of revenue recognition depending upon whether Qumu structures its license arrangements with customers as term or perpetual licenses, the Company’s ability to successfully commercialize its online publishing solution currently under development, the success of the Company’s deployment of a complete digital publishing solution for medical imaging in hospitals in China and the rate of adoption of other new solutions-based products introduced by the Company. Other factors that will influence future revenues include the timing of new product introductions, the rate of adoption of other new applications for the Company’s products in its targeted markets, the performance of the Company’s channel partners, the timing of customer orders and related product deliveries, the Company’s ability to maintain continuous supply of its products and components, the impact of changes in economic conditions and the impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations.
Gross Profit. Gross profit as a percentage of total revenues was 50.2% for the year ended December 31, 2011, compared to 49.0% and 48.5% for the years ended December 31, 2010, and 2009, respectively. Gross profit as a percentage of sales for the Company’s disc publishing and enterprise video communications product lines was 50.4% and 52.8%, respectively. Additionally, gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2011 included the impact of $0.2 million of amortization expense associated with intangible assets acquired as a result of the Qumu acquisition.
Contributing to the higher margins in the disc publishing product line were improvements in service-related margins stemming from an increase in maintenance contract revenues coupled with reductions in support costs as a result of changes initiated in 2010 in the Company’s global service model. The service cost reductions included lower compensation from a reduction in personnel, a reduced requirement for replacement parts under maintenance contracts, and the sale of lower cost on-site maintenance contracts. Also favorably impacting gross profit as a percentage of revenue in the current year was a shift in the mix of equipment sales to higher margin products, due primarily to the decrease in sales of Professional Series products relative to Producer Series products, driven primarily by decreased sales in the U.S. retail market segment. The improvement in equipment margins occurred as Professional Series products generally carry lower selling prices and gross margins than Producer Series products, and sales in the retail market generally carry lower selling prices than other markets. Gross profit as a percentage of revenues for the current year also benefitted from increased selling prices primarily for consumable products in the Company’s U.S. and major European markets, reflecting the impact of removing distributors from these markets effective April 1, 2010.
24
Gross profit as a percentage of total disc publishing revenues in the current year was unfavorably impacted by higher media prices and air freight costs in the second quarter to secure alternative supply sources and to expedite shipments stemming from supply disruptions caused by the March 11, 2011 earthquake and tsunami in Japan, reducing gross margin by nearly 0.3 percentage points. The unfavorable impact of this event was primarily confined to the second quarter of 2011, as the Company’s suppliers had restored their operations and the transportation network had recovered by the end of the second quarter. Gross margins were also unfavorably impacted in the current year by an increased volume and concentration of sales of media and media kits, which have lower margins than sales of ribbons and ink cartridges, and comprised 22% of disc publishing product line sales in the current year compared to 18% in the prior-year.
Revenues from the enterprise video communications product line since the acquisition of Qumu in October generated aggregate gross margins of 52.8%, contributing 0.1% to total gross profit as a percentage of total revenues. Product revenues, consisting of software licenses and software on a server appliance, generated an aggregate gross margin of 63%, while service revenues, consisting of software maintenance contracts and professional services, generated an aggregate gross margin of 47%.
Gross profit as a percentage of total revenues in 2010 relative to 2009 benefitted from increased selling prices for consumables and certain equipment sales in the Company’s U.S. and major European channel markets, reflecting the impact of removing distributors from these markets effective April 1, 2010. Margins in 2010 were also favorably impacted by a higher concentration of Producer and Professional Series equipment sales, which generally carry higher gross margins than Desktop Series equipment or recurring revenues. Additionally, margins in 2010 were favorably impacted by sales of the Company’s new surveillance solutions which contain enhanced functionality and resulting higher margins.
Partially offsetting the favorable impact of the above on gross profit as a percentage of revenue in 2010 compared to 2009 was the impact of foreign currency fluctuations which reduced reported revenues for the Company’s European operations to a greater degree than associated costs of revenue. Additionally, the following factors combined to create an aggregate reduction in average selling prices in 2010 for Producer and Professional Series equipment, producing an unfavorable impact on equipment margins: (1) an increased volume and concentration of sales in the U.S. retail market segment, which generally carry lower selling prices than other market segments, (2) an increased volume and concentration of Professional Series equipment sales, which generally have lower margins relative to Producer Series equipment sales, (3) and a price reduction on sales of 8100N systems, the high-end of the Producer Series. Further, margins for 2010 were unfavorably impacted by a reduction in service-related revenues, driven by the timing and amount of maintenance contract renewals, while associated service support costs declined only slightly, sustained by continued investments to strengthen the service support infrastructure of the Company’s international subsidiaries.
Future gross profit margins will continue to be affected by many factors, including product mix, the timing of new product introductions, the timing of customer orders and related product deliveries, changes in material costs and supply sources, manufacturing volume, the growth rate of service-related revenues relative to associated service support costs and foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. Future gross margins will also be impacted by the integration of Qumu’s enterprise video communications product line, which has historically generated higher gross margins than the Company’s disc publishing product line. This benefit will be partially offset in future years from the inclusion of amortization expense associated with intangibles acquired as a result of the Qumu acquisition, expected to approximate $0.9 million in 2012.
Operating Expenses. Total operating expenses amounted to $37.6 million in 2011, compared to $31.9 million in 2010 and $29.1 million in 2009. The $5.6 million rise in total operating expenses from 2010 to 2011 occurred as a result of $3.4 million of expenses incurred by Qumu subsequent to the acquisition in October 2011 and a $2.2 million increase in operating expenses from the Company’s remaining operations, of which $1.7 million pertained to nonrecurring transaction costs associated with the acquisition of Qumu.
Total
research and development expenses were $7.3 million, $6.5 million and $7.1
million for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively,
representing 8.7%, 7.3% and 8.6% of revenues, respectively. The $0.8 million
increase in total research and development expenses from 2010 to 2011 reflects
post-acquisition expenses of $1.1 million generated by Qumu, partially offset
by a $0.3 million reduction in expenses from the Company’s other development
activities. The $0.3 million decrease in research and development activities
exclusive of Qumu was the result of a lower level of expenses incurred in 2011
to support new development projects, impacted by a higher level of outside
services in 2010 to support initial development work on a new online publishing
solution, which continued under development in 2011. Partially offsetting these
declines was the impact of costs incurred to build an infrastructure and initial
employee base for a development center in India established in early 2011.
Additionally, compensation related costs increased in 2011, reflecting the
impact of personnel additions during 2010 to support the development of an
online publishing solution and other new products in the Company’s disc
publishing product line.
Research
and development expenses associated with Qumu’s video enterprise communications
product line consisted primarily of software development to design new
Intelligent Content Routing modules which are expected to provide significant
add-on functionality and enhancements to Video Control Center (VCC Release 6.0)
and Video Net Edge (VNE Release 2.0) software products.
25
Research and development expenses in 2010 decreased 9% from 2009, stemming from a lower level of expenses incurred to support new product development projects. This decrease was impacted largely by $2.3 million in expenses incurred in 2009 as part of a development arrangement with a third party supplier to develop the 5400N and 3400 Professional Series products launched by the Company in the first quarter of 2010. Partially offsetting this decline were increased compensation costs of $1.1 million associated with late 2009 and 2010 personnel additions and $0.6 million of expenses incurred to begin development of a new online publishing solution and to develop other new products.
Rimage anticipates its expenditures for research and development in 2012 will increase significantly from the levels experienced during 2011 primarily as a result of a full year of support of its recently acquired enterprise communications product line. The Company also plans continued development of its new online publishing solution and development and improvement of products for the disc publishing product line.
Total selling, general and administrative expenses for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 were $30.1 million, $25.4 million and $21.9 million, respectively, representing 36%, 28.7% and 26.4% of revenues, respectively. The $4.7 million increase in selling, general and administrative expenses from 2010 to 2011 was attributable to $2.1 million of expenses incurred by Qumu subsequent to the acquisition and a $2.6 million increase in expenses from the Company’s remaining operations.
The $2.6 million described increase in selling, general and administrative expenses in 2011 from 2010 includes $1.7 million of nonrecurring transaction costs associated with the acquisition of Qumu. Additionally, currency fluctuations primarily affecting the Company’s European operations increased expenses by $0.5 million in 2011 compared to the prior year. Other factors that increased expenses in the current year included the impact of investments made to strengthen the Company’s core business and implementation of its growth strategy. Such costs included investments in the Company’s sales and marketing organization to support solutions-based sales, increased compensation-related costs stemming from personnel additions, including costs to restructure the European sales organization, increased consulting costs, and expenses incurred by the Company’s majority-owned Chinese joint venture as it continued to establish its employee base and support infrastructure. Increased legal expenses associated with the acquisition of a minority equity interest in BriefCam and a patent infringement lawsuit further contributed to current year expense growth. Factors that decreased expenses in the current year included the impact of $0.3 million of one-time separation costs in the third quarter of 2010 associated with the departure of an executive officer and expenses to establish the Company’s majority-owned Chinese joint venture in the third quarter of 2010. Additionally, the Company incurred a lower level of expenses in the current year for recruiting activities and promotional programs.
The rise in expenses in 2010 relative to 2009 primarily reflects the impact of investments made to strengthen the Company’s core business and implement its growth strategy, including increased compensation-related costs of $2.4 million from personnel additions, stock-based compensation and new hire recruiting costs; increased expenses for travel and promotional programs approximating $0.6 million and increased legal expenses of $0.3 million associated with new business initiatives, including the formation of the Company’s majority-owned joint venture in China in the third quarter of 2010. Additionally, the Company incurred increased expenses in 2010 approximating $0.4 million to further develop its enterprise resource planning system, including implementation of an enhanced sales order processing system to support the changes made effective April 1, 2010 in its sales distribution model and development of expanded reporting capabilities. Partially offsetting the increases in expenses described above was a reduced level of one-time employee separation costs in 2010 of $0.2 million, primarily reflecting the impact of the retirement of an executive officer in late 2009 and the departure of another executive officer in third quarter 2010. Additionally, foreign currency fluctuations primarily impacting the Company’s European operations reduced selling, general and administrative expenses by $0.2 million in 2010 relative to 2009.
Rimage anticipates selling, general and administrative expenses will increase significantly in 2012 from the levels experienced during 2011 primarily as a result of a full year of support of Qumu’s enterprise communications operations.
Amortization of Purchased Intangibles. Operating expenses in 2011 include $0.2 million for the amortization of intangible assets acquired as part of the Company’s acquisition of Qumu in October 2011. Operating expenses in 2012 are expected to include approximately $1.1 million of amortization expense associated with the Qumu acquisition, exclusive of the portion classified in cost of revenue.
Other Income, Net. The Company recognized interest income on cash and marketable securities of $0.2 million, $0.5 million and $1.5 million in 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The year-over-year decline in interest income was the result of a reduction in average effective yields stemming from the Company’s transition to investments in lower yield money market and U.S. treasury securities, as well as an environment of generally lower interest rates. Augmenting the impact of lower effective yields in 2011 was a reduction in average cash equivalent and marketable securities balances of approximately $3.7 million, largely impacted by the Company’s use of approximately $39 million in cash to acquire Qumu. Other income in 2009 included the Company’s recognition of a gain on sale of marketable securities of $0.3 million as a result of the sale of approximately $33 million of municipal securities and reinvestment in U.S. treasury securities. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below for a discussion of changes in cash levels.
26
Income Taxes. The provision for income taxes represents federal, state, and foreign income taxes on income. For the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, income tax expense amounted to $2.0 million, $4.5 million and $4.6 million, respectively, representing 42.8%, 37.2% and 35.2% of income before income taxes, respectively. The increase in the effective tax rate in 2011 relative to 2010 was primarily the result of nondeductible transaction expenses associated with the acquisition of Qumu. Partially offsetting the unfavorable impact of the above was an increase in the federal research credit resulting from an increase in qualifying development projects, including those introduced as a result of the acquisition of Qumu. The increase in the effective tax rate from 2009 to 2010 was primarily impacted by a significantly reduced amount of tax-exempt interest income comprising a smaller percentage of pre-tax income relative to the prior year. Partially offsetting the unfavorable effect of lower tax-exempt interest income in 2010 was an increased benefit from the Section 199 deduction, impacted by an increase in the rate applied to excludable production activities income from 6% to 9% effective January 1, 2010, and a decline in state income tax expense due primarily to a reduction in apportionment factors in certain states.
Net Income / Net Income Per Share. Net income for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 amounted to $2.8 million, $7.7 million and $8.5 million, representing 3.4%, 8.7% and 10.2% of revenues, respectively. Related net income per diluted share amounts were $0.29 in 2011, $0.80 in 2010 and $0.89 in 2009.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company expects it will be able to maintain current operations and anticipated capital expenditure requirements for the foreseeable future through its internally generated funds and cash reserves. At December 31, 2011, the Company had working capital of $78.3 million, down $41.9 million from working capital reported at December 31, 2010. The primary contributor to the decrease in working capital was the net outlay of $39.4 million in cash to acquire Qumu in October 2011. Exclusive of a small amount of capital lease obligations, Rimage has no long-term debt and does not require significant capital investment for its ongoing operations as all fabrication of tooling-intensive parts is outsourced to vendors.
Effective October 2010, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the continuation of common stock repurchases under Board authorizations originally providing for the repurchase of up to 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. Shares may be purchased at prevailing market prices in the open market or in private transactions, subject to market conditions, share price, trading volume and other factors. The repurchase program may be discontinued at any time. The Company repurchased 117,377 shares of its common stock at an average purchase price of $15.56 per share during the fourth quarter 2010. On July 26, 2011, the Board authorized the repurchase of an additional 500,000 shares under the program. The Company did not purchase any shares during the first half of 2011, but resumed repurchases under the program in July 2011, and purchased an additional 458,531 shares through December 31, 2011 at an average price of $13.15 per share. The repurchase program has been funded to date using cash on hand. As of December 31, 2011, 347,009 shares remained available for repurchase under the authorizations.
On February 23, 2011, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the initiation of dividend payments and authorized the first dividend of $0.10 per share payable April 15, 2011, followed by two additional dividends at $0.10 per share payable July 15, 2011 and September 15, 2011. On October 7, 2011, the Board declared a dividend of $0.17 per share to shareholders of record as of November 30, 2011, payable December 15, 2011, resulting in the payment of four dividends in 2011 aggregating $4.6 million. The Company expects quarterly dividend payments during 2012 of approximately $1.7 million.
Net cash provided by operating activities totaled $7.1 million, $11.6 million and $14.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The $4.5 million decrease in cash provided by operating activities in 2011 relative to 2010 resulted from a $5.9 million decrease in net income adjusted for non-cash and non-operating items, partially offset by changes in operating assets and liabilities producing a $1.4 million larger increase in cash. Primarily contributing to the change in operating assets and liabilities compared to the prior-year were favorable changes of $4.0 million in deferred income and $2.7 million in receivables, partially offset by unfavorable changes of $2.6 million in trade accounts payable, $1.5 million in prepaid income taxes and $1.1 million in inventories. The favorable change in deferred income was impacted primarily by a $3.5 million sale of new maintenance contracts to a retail customer in the current year’s first quarter under a multi-system sales agreement obtained in the second quarter of 2010, followed by a significant volume of retail contract renewals in the second quarter and the sale of $0.4 million of new maintenance contracts associated with a large equipment sale to a federal law enforcement agency in the third quarter. The favorable change in receivables was primarily impacted by a decrease in sales in the last two months of the fourth quarter 2011 from the last two months in 2010 compared to an increase in the same prior-year periods. The unfavorable change in trade accounts payable in the current year occurred as a result of a $1.4 million reduction in trade payables in 2011 compared to a $1.2 million increase in 2010. This change was largely driven by $0.6 million in payments in the current-year period to reduce a $1.5 million liability initially established in 2009 for non-recurring engineering charges associated with a development arrangement with a third party supplier to develop the 5400N and 3400 Professional Series products launched by the Company in the first quarter of 2010. The unfavorable change in prepaid income taxes resulted from the timing of estimated tax payments. The unfavorable change in inventories occurred as a result of the Company’s decision to maintain higher levels of inventory to minimize potential future supply disruptions.
27
Investing activities consumed net cash of $34.5 million in 2011, and provided net cash of $24.1 million and $42.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The $34.5 million net use of cash in 2011 was driven primarily by the Company’s net outlay of $39.4 million in cash as part of its acquisition of Qumu in October 2011, and additionally, a $2 million equity investment in BriefCam, a privately-held Israeli company that develops video synopsis software for surveillance applications. Included in the $39.4 million in cash paid for the acquisition of Qumu was approximately $0.6 million in working capital and other adjustments that increased the purchase price under the terms of the Merger Agreement. Investing activities for each year also reflect maturities and sales of marketable securities, net of purchases of marketable securities, partially offsetting the impact on cash and cash equivalents of the described cash investments in 2011. Maturities and sales of marketable securities, net of related purchases, increased cash and cash equivalents by $8.6 million, $28.6 million and $42.6 million in 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Investing activities in each year also included purchases of property and equipment of $1.2 million in 2011, $4.2 million in 2010, and $0.4 million in 2009. Capital expenditures in 2011 consisted primarily of the first installment payment of $0.4 million for software source code, acquired and capitalized by the Company’s Chinese joint venture in late 2010, and office equipment. Capital expenditures in 2010 included $2.4 million of production tooling capitalized by the Company in late 2009 associated with a new product line launched during the first quarter of 2010. Remaining capital expenditures during 2010 consisted primarily of costs to support the Company’s enhancement of its enterprise resource management system and office equipment. Capital expenditures in 2009 included purchases of office equipment, manufacturing tooling and information technology related infrastructure. Capital expenditures in 2012 are expected to approximate $2 million.
Financing activities used net cash of $10.4 million and $0.3 million in 2011 and 2010, respectively, and generated net cash of $1.3 million in 2009. The net use of cash in financing activities in 2011 and 2010 was largely attributable to the Company’s repurchase of shares of its common stock, requiring $6.0 million of cash to purchase 458,531 shares in 2011 and $1.8 million of cash to purchase 117,377 shares in 2010. Additionally, the Company paid dividends on outstanding shares of its common stock of $4.6 million in 2011. Financing activities in each year included proceeds from employee stock plans of $0.3 million, $0.9 million and $1.2 million, respectively. A $0.6 million equity investment from the noncontrolling interest in the Company’s majority-owned joint venture in China positively impacted financing activities in 2010.

The Company does not currently expect any income tax liabilities accrued under ASC 740 as of December 31, 2011 to be paid to the applicable tax authorities in 2012. The full balance of unrecognized tax benefits under ASC 740 of $977,000 at December 31, 2011, has been excluded from the above table as the period of payment or reversal cannot be reasonably estimated. This amount is before reduction for deferred federal benefits of uncertain tax positions and also excludes potential interest and penalties. |
Management utilizes its technical knowledge, cumulative business experience, judgment and other factors in the selection and application of the Company’s accounting policies. The accounting policies described below are considered by management to be the most critical to the presentation of the consolidated financial statements because they require the most difficult, subjective and complex judgments. In applying the critical accounting policies described below, management reassesses its estimates each reporting period based on available information. Changes in such estimates did not have a significant impact on earnings for the year ended December 31, 2011.
Revenue Recognition. Through the third quarter of 2011, the Company earned revenues through the sale of tangible products, consisting primarily of equipment and consumables. As part of its product offering, the Company also sells optional services, consisting primarily of separately-priced maintenance contracts and installation services. Beginning with the acquisition of Qumu in October 2011, the Company also earns revenues through the sale of software and software-based solutions. Software sales may take the form of a software license, a software license on a server appliance or a managed service. The Company also sells optional software maintenance support contracts and professional services as part of the new Qumu product offering.

Collectability is reasonably assured. All sales are made on the basis that collection is expected in line with the Company’s payment terms as outlined in the non-cancelable purchase order or contract, and such terms are consistent with industry practice in the geographies in which the Company markets its products. |
Revenue for separately-priced maintenance contracts and installation services associated with the Company’s disc publishing products is deferred until earned. A standard product sale by the Company does not require a commitment on the Company’s part to provide installation, set-up or training. When such services are requested, value-added resellers generally arrange and perform the service directly with the customer, with no financial interest or obligation on the part of the Company. In the situations in which the Company does provide installation or training services for customers, the Company charges separately for the service based upon its published list prices and recognizes the associated service revenue upon the successful completion of the service.
In an arrangement including disc publishing equipment, separately-priced maintenance and installation services, the amount deferred and recognized as revenue over the contract period for a separately-priced maintenance contract is the stated amount of the contract. The remaining consideration is allocated to the equipment and the installation service using the relative selling price method. The relative selling price is determined based on the Company’s stand-alone selling prices, or in the absence of stand-alone selling prices, estimated selling price for the equipment and installation service.
Revenue from maintenance contracts providing technical support and software update and upgrade rights is recognized ratably over the term of the maintenance contracts. Since the Company is able to determine VSOE for the professional service revenues and these services are not essential to the functionality of the software, revenue from such services is recognized as the services are performed.
When VSOE has been established for all undelivered elements, revenue from license fees sold under a perpetual license is recognized when an agreement has been signed, delivery of the product has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable, collectability is probable, and the arrangement does not require services that are essential to the functionality of the software.
In some cases, the Company also sells the software licenses and bundled maintenance under a subscription arrangement. Subscription arrangements typically have contractual terms of one year or longer and associated revenue is recognized ratably over the contract term beginning on the commencement date of the contract.
The Company records an allowance for sales returns from its customers. The amount of the allowance is based upon historical trends, timing of new product introductions and other factors. A return policy is in place with the Company’s value-added resellers to restrict the volume of returned products.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts. The Company records an allowance for doubtful accounts for potentially uncollectible receivables. The allowance is established based on a specific assessment of accounts with known collection exposure, based upon a review of the age of the receivable, the customer’s payment history, the customer’s financial condition and industry and general economic conditions, as well as a general assessment of collection exposure in the remaining receivable population based upon the Company’s bad debt history. Actual bad debt exposure could differ significantly from management’s estimates if economic conditions worsened for the Company’s customers.
29
Inventory Provisions. The Company records provisions for inventory shrinkage and for potential excess, obsolete and slow moving inventory. The amounts of these provisions are based upon usage, historical loss trends, inventory levels, expected product lives and forecasted sales demand. Results could be materially different if demand for the Company’s products decreased because of economic or competitive conditions, or if products became obsolete because of technical advancements in the industry or by the Company.
Income Taxes. The Company is required to estimate income taxes in each of the jurisdictions in which it operates. This process involves estimating actual current tax expense and assessing temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of items for book and tax purposes. These temporary differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities, which are included in the consolidated balance sheets. Management records a valuation allowance to reduce its deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. Increases in the valuation allowance result in the recognition of additional income tax expense. Income tax expense could be materially different from actual results because of changes in management’s expectations regarding future taxable income, the relationship between book and taxable income and tax planning strategies employed by the Company. As of December 31, 2011, the Company carried a valuation allowance totaling $0.7 million to reduce the full tax benefit of loss carryforwards for a subsidiary in Japan established in May 2005 and a majority-owned joint venture established in August 2010.
Management recognizes a tax accrual for estimated exposures associated with uncertain tax positions and adjusts this accrual in light of changing facts and circumstances. However, due to the complexity of some of these uncertainties, the ultimate settlement may result in payments that are significantly different from management’s current estimate of tax liabilities, resulting in the recognition of additional charges or benefits to income tax expense. At December 31, the Company recognized gross tax liabilities for new uncertainties of $736,000, before reduction for a valuation allowance on research credit carryforwards resulting from the acquisition of Qumu in October 2011, and $41,000 for other tax positions. Additionally, the Company reversed gross tax liabilities, exclusive of interest and penalties, amounting to $160,000 for prior-year tax positions.
Stock-Based Compensation. The Company accounts for stock-based awards using the modified prospective method. Under this method, the Company recognizes compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting period for all stock-based awards granted on or after January 1, 2006, and for previously granted awards not yet vested as of January 1, 2006. The Company recognized stock-based compensation costs of approximately $2.0 million, $1.9 million and $1.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
The Company utilizes a Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of each stock option award on the date of grant. The Black-Scholes model requires the input of certain assumptions that involve management judgment. Key assumptions that affect the calculation of fair value include the expected life of stock-based awards, the Company’s historical stock price volatility and the expected dividend yield. Additionally, the Company is required to estimate the expected forfeiture rate of unvested awards and recognize expense for only those shares expected to vest. The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of stock-based awards and the forfeiture rate of such awards reflect management’s best estimates. However, circumstances may change and additional data may become available over time, which could result in changes to these assumptions that materially impact the fair value determination of future awards or their estimated rate of forfeiture. If assumptions change for future stock-based awards, the compensation expense recorded may differ significantly from the expense recorded in the current period.
See Note 3 under the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-K for additional information on stock-based compensation.
Valuation of Intangible Assets and Goodwill. When a business is acquired, the purchase price is allocated, as applicable, between tangible assets, identifiable intangible assets and goodwill. The fair value of intangible assets acquired in 2011, including trade names, developed technology, in-process research and development and customer relationships, was based on management’s forecasted cash inflows and outflows using a relief-from-royalty and multi-period excess earnings method with consideration to other factors including an independent valuation of management’s assumptions. Intangible assets are being amortized over their estimated economic lives, ranging from 1 to 16 years. The Company assesses intangible assets with a determinable life for impairment consistent with its policy for assessing other long-lived assets.
Goodwill recognized in connection with a business acquisition represents the excess of the aggregate purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired. Goodwill is tested for impairment annually or more frequently if changes in circumstances or the occurrence of events suggest impairment exists. The Company’s annual assessment includes a comparison of the carrying amount of the net assets, including goodwill, to the fair value. If the carrying amount exceeds the fair value, goodwill may be impaired. Management plans to conduct its annual impairment analysis during the Company’s fourth quarter. The Company is not aware of any indicators that have occurred during the fourth quarter 2011 that would affect the value of the goodwill recorded at the acquisition date.
30
Impairment of Long-lived Assets. Long-lived assets at December 31, 2011 consisted of property and equipment, including capitalized internally developed software costs; acquired intangible assets; and software source code owned by the Company’s majority-owned joint venture established in China in August 2010. The Company reviews the carrying amount of its long-lived assets when events or changes in circumstances such as market value, asset utilization, physical change, legal factors or other matters indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. When this review indicates the carrying amount of an asset or asset group exceeds the sum of the future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the assets, the Company recognizes an asset impairment charge against operations for the amount by which the carrying amount of the impaired asset exceeds its fair value. Considerable judgment is required in the evaluation of whether certain events or circumstances lead to an indication of impairment, and in the assumptions used in determining the amount and period over which future revenues are expected to be earned, related costs, terminal values and discount rates. No impairment charges were recognized by the Company during the year ended December 31, 2011.
In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU No 2010-28, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – that introduces the use of qualitative factors when considering the need to perform a step 1 goodwill impairment test. If the Company concludes that qualitative factors indicate that it is more likely than not that the fair value exceeds the carrying value, then they do not need to perform a step 1 goodwill impairment test. This update to ASC 350 is effective for the first quarter of 2012. Adoption is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK |
Foreign Currency Translation. The Company is exposed to market risk from foreign exchange rate fluctuations of the European Euro, Japanese Yen and Chinese Yuan to the U.S. dollar as the financial position and operating results of the Company’s German subsidiary, Rimage Europe GmbH, its Japanese subsidiary, Rimage Japan Co., Ltd. and its majority-owned joint venture in China, Rimage Information Technology (Shanghai) Co., Ltd., are translated into U.S. dollars for consolidation. Resulting translation adjustments are recorded as a separate component of stockholders’ equity.
Derivative Financial Instruments. The Company enters into forward exchange contracts principally to hedge inter-company receivables denominated in Euros arising from sales to its subsidiary in Germany. Gains or losses on forward exchange contracts are calculated at each period end and are recognized in net income in the period in which they arose. The Company records the fair value of its open forward foreign exchange contracts in other current assets or other current liabilities depending on whether the net amount is a gain or a loss. The Company does not utilize financial instruments for trading or other speculative purposes.
Exchange Rate Sensitivity. The table below summarizes information on foreign currency forward exchange agreements that are sensitive to foreign currency exchange rates. For these foreign currency forward exchange agreements, the table presents the notional amounts and weighted average exchange rates by expected (contractual) maturity dates. These notional amounts generally are used to calculate the contractual payments to be exchanged under the contract.

A hypothetical 10% appreciation or depreciation in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to the Euro as of December 31, 2011, assuming all other variables are held constant, would result in a larger gain or loss in fair value of approximately $19,000, respectively, than that reflected above as of December 31, 2011.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
|
The Board of Directors and Stockholders |
|
Rimage Corporation: |
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:
|
(i) |
pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; |
|
|
(ii) |
provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and |
|
|
(iii) |
provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. |
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Under the supervision of our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on our assessment and those criteria, management believes that the Company maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011.
The Company acquired Qumu, Inc. (Qumu) in October 2011, and management excluded from its assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011, Qumu’s internal control over financial reporting associated with approximately 3% of total assets and 2% of total revenues included in the consolidated financial statements of the Company as of and for the year ended December 31, 2011.
Our independent registered public accounting firm, KPMG LLP, has issued an audit report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, which report is included in this Form 10-K.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Stockholders |
|
Rimage Corporation: |
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Rimage Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders’ equity and comprehensive income, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2011. In connection with our audits of the consolidated financial statements, we have also audited the financial statement schedule for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2011, listed in schedule II of this Form 10-K. These consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Rimage Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2011, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule referred to above, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), Rimage Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO), and our report dated March 15, 2012, expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

Rimage Corporation: |
We have audited Rimage Corporation and subsidiaries (the Company) internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).
The Company acquired Qumu, Inc. (Qumu) in October 2011, and management excluded from its assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011, Qumu’s internal control over financial reporting associated with approximately 3% of total assets and 2% of total revenues included in the consolidated financial statements of the Company as of and for the year ended December 31, 2011. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting of the Company also excluded an evaluation of the internal control over financial reporting of Qumu.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of Rimage Corporation as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders’ equity and comprehensive income, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2011, and our report dated March 15, 2012 expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.

RIMAGE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1) Nature of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation and Nature of Business
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Rimage Corporation, its subsidiaries and its majority-owned joint venture, collectively hereinafter referred to as “Rimage” or the “Company.” All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Rimage Corporation helps businesses deliver digital content directly and securely to their customers and employees. Rimage’s disc publishing business supplies more than 10,000 customers in North America, Europe and Asia with industry-leading solutions that archive, distribute and protect content on CDs, DVDs and Blu-ray Discs™. With its acquisition of Qumu, Inc. (“Qumu”), Rimage entered the rapidly growing enterprise video communications market. The combination of Qumu with Rimage’s disc publishing business, and online publishing initiative under development, enables businesses to securely deliver their videos, documents, audio files and images in today’s multi-platform, multi-device world.
|
|
|
Revenue Recognition |
|
|
|
Through the third quarter of 2011, the Company earned revenues through the sale of tangible products, consisting primarily of equipment and consumables. As part of its product offering, the Company also sells optional services, consisting primarily of separately-priced maintenance contracts and installation services. Beginning with the acquisition of Qumu in October 2011, the Company also earns revenues through the sale of software and software-based solutions. Software sales may take the form of a software license, a software license on a server appliance or a managed service. The Company also sells optional software maintenance support contracts and professional services as part of the new Qumu product offering. |
|
|
|
Disc Publishing Revenue |
|
Revenue for product sales (including equipment and consumables), which do not include any requirement for installation or training, is recognized on shipment or delivery, at which point the following criteria have been satisfied: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
• |
Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists. Customer orders are received for all sales, either through non-cancelable contracts or purchase orders, and sales invoices are sent upon delivery of the product. |
|
|
||
|
|
• |
Delivery has occurred. Product has been transferred to the customer or the customer’s designated delivery agent, at which time risk of loss transfers. |
|
|
||
|
|
• |
The sales price is fixed or determinable. All sales prices are fixed at the time of the sale. |
|
|
||
|
|
• |
Collectability is reasonably assured. All sales are made on the basis that collection is expected in line with the Company’s payment terms as outlined in the non-cancelable purchase order or contract, and such terms are consistent with industry practice in the geographies in which the Company markets its products. |
Revenue for separately-priced maintenance contracts and installation services associated with the Company’s disc publishing products is deferred until earned. A standard product sale by the Company does not require a commitment on the Company’s part to provide installation, set-up or training. When such services are requested, value-added resellers generally arrange and perform the service directly with the customer, with no financial interest or obligation on the part of the Company. In the situations in which the Company does provide installation or training services for customers, the Company charges separately for the service based upon its published list prices and recognizes the associated service revenue upon the successful completion of the service.
In an arrangement including disc publishing equipment, separately-priced maintenance and installation services, the amount deferred and recognized as revenue over the contract period for a separately-priced maintenance contract is the stated amount of the contract. The remaining consideration is allocated to the equipment and the installation service using the relative selling price method. The relative selling price is determined based on the Company’s stand-alone selling prices, or in the absence of stand-alone selling prices, estimated selling price for the equipment and installation service.

|
|
|
Enterprise Video Communications Revenue |
|
Revenue generated by the enterprise video communications product platform, acquired as part of the Company’s purchase of Qumu, includes the sale of software licenses, including software licensed on a server appliance, and are sold through non-cancelable licensing agreements under either perpetual or subscription arrangements. These arrangements most often include maintenance support and may also include optional professional services. The Company utilizes the residual method to recognize revenue. Under the residual method, revenue is recognized in a multiple-element arrangement in which vendor-specific objective evidence (VSOE) of fair value exists for all of the undelivered elements in the arrangement, but does not exist for one or more of the delivered elements in the arrangement. The Company has determined that it has VSOE for its maintenance support as well as other professional services. The Company has established VSOE for the fair value of the maintenance contracts based on the price charged when the element is sold separately. The fair value of the professional services is based on the rates charged for those services when sold independently. If evidence of fair value cannot be established for any undelivered elements of a license agreement, the entire amount of revenue from the arrangement is deferred until evidence of fair value can be established, or until the items are delivered. If the only undelivered element is maintenance, then the entire amount of revenue is recognized over the maintenance delivery period. |
Revenue from maintenance contracts providing technical support and software update and upgrade rights is recognized ratably over the term of the maintenance contracts. Since the Company is able to determine VSOE for the professional service revenues and these services are not essential to the functionality of the software, revenue from such services is recognized as the services are performed.
When VSOE has been established for all undelivered elements, revenue from license fees sold under a perpetual license is recognized when an agreement has been signed, delivery of the product has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable, collectability is probable, and the arrangement does not require services that are essential to the functionality of the software.
In some cases, the Company also sells the software licenses and bundled maintenance under a subscription arrangement. Subscription arrangements typically have contractual terms of one year or longer and associated revenue is recognized ratably over the contract term beginning on the commencement date of the contract.
Sales Returns
An allowance for sales returns is recorded by the Company based upon historical trends, timing of new product introductions and other factors. A return policy is in place with the Company’s value-added resellers to restrict the volume of returned products.
Receivables and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
The Company records accounts receivable at face amount less an allowance for doubtful accounts for potentially uncollectible receivables. The allowance is established based on a specific assessment of accounts with known collection exposure, based upon a review of the age of the receivable, the customer’s payment history, the customer’s financial condition and industry and general economic conditions, as well as a general assessment of collection exposure in the remaining receivable population based upon bad debt history. The uncollectible portion of receivables is charged against the allowance for doubtful accounts when collection efforts have ceased. Recoveries of receivables previously charged-off are recorded when received.
Cash Equivalents
All short-term investments with original maturities of three months or less at date of purchase are considered cash equivalents.
Marketable Securities
Marketable securities generally consist of U.S. treasury bills, money market securities, municipal securities, corporate securities, and U.S. government agency securities with long-term credit ratings of AAA and short-term credit ratings of A-1. Marketable securities are classified as short-term or long-term in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet based on their effective maturity date. All marketable securities have original maturities ranging from three to twelve months. Marketable securities are classified as available-for-sale. Available-for-sale securities are recorded at fair value and any unrealized holding gains and losses, net of the related tax effect, are excluded from earnings and are reported as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) until realized. See Note 5, “Fair Value Measurements,” for a discussion of inputs used to measure the fair value of the Company’s available-for-sale securities. At December 31, 2011, the Company held no marketable securities.
Sources of Supply
Many of the purchased components used to assemble the Company’s products are standard parts and are readily available. Other components and subassemblies are manufactured to the Company’s specifications. For the majority of the Company’s critical components, the Company has identified alternative suppliers. The Company depends upon a single-source supplier for its Everest printers and, beginning in March 2010, its Rimage Professional Series 5400N and Rimage Professional Series 3400 systems, which are a significant source of the Company’s sales. For these products, it is more difficult to identify an alternative supplier because of the proprietary information and technology currently held by this supplier. Although the Company owns the rights to the technology, if the Company were unable to effectively transition the technology and proprietary information used by this supplier to alternative suppliers, the design and manufacture of these products to the Company’s specifications may be significantly delayed, resulting in potential production delays and significant expense. Further, if the Company obtains a new supplier for a component or product or uses an alternative component in its product, the Company may need to conduct additional testing of its products to ensure the product meets its quality and performance standards. Any delays in delivery of its product to end-users, resellers or distributors could be extended, and costs associated with the change in product manufacturing could increase.
42
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined on a first-in, first-out (FIFO) basis. The Company records provisions for potential excess, obsolete and slow moving inventory based upon usage, historical loss trends, expected product lives and forecasted sales demand.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost and depreciated on a straight-line basis over estimated useful lives ranging from two to seven years for most assets, and 15 years for the Company’s headquarters facility purchased in September 2008. Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the shorter of the property’s useful life or the term of the underlying lease. Repairs and maintenance costs are charged to operations as incurred.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
Intangible assets acquired include both those that have a determinable life and residual goodwill. Intangible assets with a determinable life include trade names, developed technology, in-process research and development, customer relationships and software with estimates of recoverability ranging from 1 to 16 years that are amortized generally on a straight-line basis. The Company assesses intangible assets with a determinable life for impairment consistent with its policy for assessing other long-lived assets.
At December 31, 2011, the Company recorded goodwill of $22.2 million. The goodwill is the result of the Qumu acquisition completed in the fourth quarter as described in Note 2. Goodwill recognized in connection with a business acquisition represents the excess of the aggregate purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired. Goodwill is tested for impairment annually or more frequently if changes in circumstances or the occurrence of events suggest impairment exists. The Company’s annual assessment includes a comparison of the carrying amount of the net assets, including goodwill, to their fair value. If the carrying amount exceeds the fair value, goodwill may be impaired. Management plans to conduct its annual impairment analysis during the Company’s fourth quarter. The Company is not aware of any indicators that have occurred during the fourth quarter 2011 that would affect the value of the goodwill recorded at the acquisition date.
Impairment of Long-lived Assets
Long-lived assets at December 31, 2011 consisted of property and equipment, including capitalized internally developed software costs; acquired intangible assets; and software source code owned by the Company’s majority-owned joint venture established in China in August 2010. The Company reviews the carrying amount of its long-lived assets when events or changes in circumstances such as market value, asset utilization, physical change, legal factors or other matters indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. When this review indicates the carrying amount of an asset or asset group exceeds the sum of the future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the assets, the Company recognizes an asset impairment charge against operations for the amount by which the carrying amount of the impaired asset exceeds its fair value. Considerable judgment is required in the evaluation of whether certain events or circumstances lead to an indication of impairment, and in the assumptions used in determining the amount and period over which future revenues are expected to be earned, related costs, terminal values and discount rates. No impairment charges were recognized by the Company during the year ended December 31, 2011.
Product Warranty
The Company’s non-consumable products are warranted to the end-user to ensure confidence in design, workmanship and overall quality for a period of 12 months. Warranty covers parts, labor and other associated expenses. The Company performs the majority of warranty work, while authorized distributors and dealers also perform some warranty work. Warranty expense is accrued during the warranty period based on an analysis of historical claims experience, which includes labor, freight and parts costs, with consideration of the proportion of parts that can be re-used.

The warranty accrual rollforward, including provisions and claims, is as follows (in thousands):

Stock-Based Compensation
The Company measures the cost of employee services received in exchange for the award of equity instruments based on the fair value of the award at the date of grant. The cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the period during which an employee is required to provide services in exchange for the entire award. The benefits of tax deductions in excess of recognized compensation expense is reported as a financing cash flow. The Company issues new shares of its common stock to satisfy employee equity awards.
The Company accounts for stock options using the modified prospective method. Under this method, the Company recognizes compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting period for all stock-based awards granted on or after January 1, 2006, and for previously granted awards not yet vested as of January 1, 2006. The Company recognizes stock-based compensation net of an estimated forfeiture rate, resulting in the recognition of compensation cost for only those shares expected to vest. Compensation cost is recognized for all awards over the vesting period to the extent the employees or directors meet the requisite service requirements, whether or not the award is ultimately exercised. Conversely, when an employee or director does not meet the requisite service requirements and forfeits the award prior to vesting, any compensation expense previously recognized for the award is reversed. See Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on stock-based compensation.
Research and Development Costs
Research and development costs relate to hardware and software development and enhancements to existing products. All such costs are expensed as incurred.
Income Taxes
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is provided to offset deferred tax assets if, based on the available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.
Net Income Per Share
Basic net income per share is calculated as income available to common stockholders divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net income per share includes the potentially dilutive effect of common shares issued in connection with outstanding stock options using the treasury stock method and the dilutive effect of restricted stock units.
The Company calculates net income per share pursuant to the two-class method which requires all outstanding unvested share-based payment awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) to be considered participating securities and included in the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share using the two-class method.
Foreign Currency Translation / Transactions
The functional currency for each of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries and majority-owned foreign joint venture is the respective local currency. The assets and liabilities of the Company’s foreign entities are translated into U.S. dollars using period-end exchange rates, while revenues and expenses are translated at average exchange rates prevailing during the year. The resulting translation adjustments are recorded as a separate component of stockholders’ equity in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). The Company recorded net gains (losses) on foreign currency translation in comprehensive income of $(89,000), ($278,000) and $(42,000) for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
The Company enters into forward foreign exchange contracts to hedge intercompany receivables denominated in Euros arising from sales to its subsidiary in Germany. Gains or losses on forward foreign exchange contracts are calculated at each period end and are recognized in net income in the period in which they arose. The fair value of forward foreign exchange contracts are recorded in other current assets or other current liabilities.
44
Comprehensive Income
Comprehensive income consists of the Company’s net income, foreign currency translation adjustments, and unrealized holding gains and losses from available-for-sale marketable securities and is presented in the Consolidated Statements of Stockholders’ Equity and Comprehensive Income.
Operating Leases
The Company leases certain of its facilities and some of its equipment under non-cancelable operating lease arrangements. The rental payments under these leases are charged to expense as incurred.
Taxes Collected From Customers
Sales taxes charged to and collected from customers as part of the Company’s sales transactions are excluded from revenues and recorded as a liability to the applicable governmental taxing authority.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from estimates on items such as allowance for doubtful accounts and sales returns, inventory provisions, asset impairment charges, deferred tax asset valuation allowances, accruals for uncertain tax positions and warranty accruals. These estimates and assumptions are based on management’s best judgment. Management evaluates estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using its technical knowledge, historical experience and other factors, including consideration of the impact of the current economic environment. Management believes its assumptions are reasonable and adjusts such estimates and assumptions when facts and circumstances change. Illiquid credit markets, volatile equity, foreign currency and energy markets, and declines in business and consumer spending have combined to increase the uncertainty inherent in such estimates and assumptions. As future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results could differ significantly from these estimates. Any required changes in those estimates will be reflected in the financial statements in future periods.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-06, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures – Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements,” which requires new disclosures about recurring and nonrecurring fair-value measurements including significant transfers into and out of Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The ASU also requires additional information in the roll-forward of Level 3 assets and liabilities including the presentation of purchases, sales, issuances and settlements on a gross basis. Further clarification for existing disclosure requirements provides for the disaggregation of assets and liabilities presented, and the enhancement of disclosures around inputs and valuation techniques. This ASU impacts disclosures only. The Company adopted the disclosure provisions of this ASU effective January 1, 2010, with the exception of the additional required information in the roll-forward of Level 3 assets and liabilities, which the Company adopted effective January 1, 2011. In May 2011, the FASB issued and update to guidance in ASC 820, which clarifies the application of fair value and enhances disclosure regarding valuation of financial instruments and level 3 fair value measurement inputs. No transfers of assets or liabilities into or out of Level 1 or 2 of the fair value hierarchy occurred or were required during the year ended December 31, 2011. The Company’s adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures.
In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU No 2010-29, “Business Combinations”, which clarifies the disclosure requirements for pro forma presentation of revenue and earnings related to a business combination. The Company adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2011. The Company’s adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.
2) Acquisition of Qumu, Inc.
On October 10, 2011, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (“the Merger Agreement”) to acquire 100% of the outstanding stock of Qumu, a leading supplier of enterprise video communication solutions and social enterprise applications for business. Based in San Bruno, California, Qumu’s products are expected to complement Rimage’s online publishing solution currently under development, and each company is expected to benefit from the other’s existing customer base. The acquisition was made to accelerate the Company’s growth potential in the global content delivery market.
After inclusion of working capital and other adjustments required under the Merger Agreement, the aggregate purchase price totaled approximately $53 million, consisting of a net cash outlay of approximately $39 million and approximately 1,000,000 shares of Rimage’s common stock. For the purposes of calculating the number of shares of common stock issuable in the merger, the parties agreed upon a value of $13.1865 per share. Pursuant to the terms of a lock-up agreement, the shares issued in the merger will be restricted from transfer, subject to certain exceptions. The restrictions will lapse for one-third of the shares at each of 180 days, 270 days and 365 days following the effective date of the merger. Following the acquisition, Qumu’s liabilities consisted of trade payables, accrued operating expenses and deferred income related primarily to active software maintenance contracts. Of the cash amounts payable in the merger, $5.2 million is subject to escrow for a one-year period to secure a possible working capital adjustment and the indemnification obligations to Rimage. The acquisition was funded through the use of cash held by Rimage at the acquisition date and Rimage common stock.
45
The acquisition was accounted for under the provisions of ASC 805, Business Combinations. The aggregate purchase price was allocated to the fair values of the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Management engaged the services of an independent qualified third party appraiser to assist with establishing fair values. The fair values assigned to intangible assets were determined through the use of forecasted cash inflows and outflows and applying a relief-from royalty and a multi-period excess earnings method. These valuation methods were based on management’s estimates as of the acquisition date of October 10, 2011. The excess of the purchase price over the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired was recorded as goodwill, which is non-deductible for tax purposes. Transaction costs of approximately $1.7 million were expensed as incurred and were included in the Company’s selling, general and administrative expenses.
The following table summarizes the preliminary purchase accounting allocation of the total purchase price to Qumu’s net tangible and intangible assets, with the residual allocated to goodwill (in thousands).

The aggregate purchase price for purchase accounting of $51,275,000 reflects the cash consideration plus the valuation of issued Rimage stock at the closing price per share of $11.50 on the date of the acquisition. The purchase price allocation is considered preliminary and is subject to change pending finalization primarily of the value of tax benefits of acquired loss and tax credit carryforwards. As such, amounts subject to potential change in the purchase accounting allocation include goodwill and net deferred tax assets.
The guidance under ASC 805 provides that intangible assets with finite lives be amortized over their estimated remaining useful lives, while goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives will not be amortized, but rather tested for impairment on at least an annual basis. Useful lives for intangible assets were determined based upon the remaining useful economic lives of the intangible assets that are expected to contribute directly or indirectly to future cash flows.
The Company is amortizing the acquired intangible assets on a straight-line basis over their expected economic lives. Amortization expense related to the intangibles is reflected in cost of revenues ($0.2 million) and operating expenses – amortization of purchased intangibles ($0.2 million) in the Consolidated Statements of Income. The Company established deferred tax assets amounting to approximately $14.2 million for the future benefit of utilization of acquired net operating losses and other tax credits, as well as the impact of cumulative temporary book to tax differences on Qumu’s opening balance sheet. A deferred tax liability was established for approximately $7.0 million, for the estimated future impact of the difference in the book vs. tax basis of the purchased intangible assets.
Included in the Company’s operating results for 2011 are Qumu-generated revenues of $1.8 million and an operating loss of approximately $2.6 million, inclusive of the impact of $0.4 million of amortization expense associated with purchased intangible assets.

The above pro forma financial information is based on the historical financial results of Rimage and Qumu after giving effect to the acquisition and certain pro forma adjustments, summarized below.
Pro forma adjustments relate primarily to 1) amortization of identified intangible assets ($1.6 million and $2.0 million for pro forma 2011 and 2010, respectively), 2) a decrease in revenue recognized under deferred maintenance and subscription license agreements as a result of required fair value purchase accounting adjustments which valued the deferred income at estimated remaining fulfillment costs and profit associated with the fulfillment effort, excluding selling profit ($0.7 million for pro forma 2010), 3) reduced interest income resulting from Rimage’s use of cash to complete the acquisition ($0.2 million for pro forma 2010), 4) elimination of Qumu’s interest expense and bank fees associated with debt that was retired with acquisition proceeds ($0.9 million and $0.7 million for pro forma 2011 and 2010, respectively), and certain other adjustments together with related income tax effects ($1.9 million and $2.6 million for pro forma 2011 and 2010, respectively). The pro forma financial results do not include the impact of one-time transaction-related costs.
The pro forma consolidated results do not purport to be indicative of results that would have occurred had the acquisition been in effect for the periods presented, nor do they claim to be indicative of the results that will be obtained in the future. In addition, the pro forma results do not reflect the realization of any cost savings that may have been achieved from operating efficiencies, synergies or other restructuring activities that may result from the acquisition.
3) Stock-Based Compensation, Common Stock Repurchases and Dividends
In May 2007, the Company’s shareholders approved the 2007 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2007 Plan”). The 2007 Plan provides for the grant of stock incentive awards in the form of incentive and non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance stock, performance units and other awards in stock and/or cash to certain key employees, non-employee directors and service providers. In May 2009 and May 2011, the Company’s shareholders approved amendments to the 2007 Plan, including a combined increase in the number of shares authorized for issuance of 1,000,000 shares to a total of 1,730,320 shares. At December 31, 2011, a total of 395,003 shares were available for future grant under the 2007 Plan, as amended. Effective with the approval of the 2007 Plan in May 2007, the Company may not issue any new awards or options under its Amended and Restated 1992 Stock Option Plan (the “1992 Plan”). The exercise price of stock options granted under the 2007 Plan is equal to the market value on the date of grant. Options issued to employees through March 31, 2006 under the 1992 Plan generally become exercisable over a two-year period and terminate ten years from the date of grant. Options issued to employees after March 31, 2006 under both the 1992 Plan and the 2007 Plan generally become exercisable over a four-year period. Options issued to employees through May 13, 2008 under the 1992 Plan and the 2007 Plan terminate ten years from the date of grant, while options issued effective May 14, 2008 under the 2007 Plan terminate seven years from the date of grant. Stock options granted to non-employee directors vest six months from the date of grant and terminate ten years from the date of grant. Restricted stock and restricted stock units issued to employees and to non-employee directors under the 2007 Plan are subject to the risk of forfeiture and transfer restrictions that generally lapse in varying time periods from the date of grant.
In addition to awards granted under the 2007 Plan and 1992 Plan, the Company granted non-qualified options to purchase 200,000 and 150,000 shares of its common stock to newly hired executive officers on April 1, 2009 and October 10, 2011, respectively. The options in both cases were granted outside of any shareholder-approved plan as inducements to accept employment with the Company. The options have an exercise price equal to the closing price of the Company’s common stock as reported by the Nasdaq Stock Market on the first day of employment, vest in four equal installments on each of the first four anniversaries of the date of grant and have terms of seven years. In other respects, the options were structured to mirror the terms of the options granted under the 2007 Plan and are subject to stock option agreements between the Company and the executive officers.
47
The Company determines stock-based compensation expense based on the grant-date fair value and recognizes it on a straight-line basis over the vesting period for each stock-based award granted on or after January 1, 2006, and for previously granted awards not yet vested as of January 1, 2006. The Company recognizes stock-based compensation net of an estimated forfeiture rate, resulting in the recognition of compensation cost for only those shares expected to vest. Compensation cost is recognized for all awards over the vesting period to the extent the employees or directors meet the requisite service requirements, whether or not an option is ultimately exercised. Conversely, when an employee or director does not meet the requisite service requirements and forfeits the award prior to vesting, any compensation expense previously recognized for the award is reversed.

Stock Options
The fair value of each option award is estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The assumptions used to determine the fair value of stock option awards granted were as follows:

The Company reviews these assumptions at the time of each new option award and adjusts them as necessary to ensure proper option valuation. The expected life represents the period that the stock option awards are expected to be outstanding. Effective April 2008, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a change in the contractual term of stock options granted to employees from ten to seven years. Given the reduction in the contractual term of its employee stock option awards, the Company determined it was unable to rely on its historical exercise data as a basis for estimating the expected life of stock options granted to employees subsequent to this change. As such, the Company used the “simplified” method for determining the expected life of stock options granted to employees in 2011, 2010 and 2009, which bases the expected life calculation on the average of the vesting term and the contractual term of the awards. The risk-free interest rate is based on the yield of constant maturity U.S. treasury bonds with a remaining term equal to the expected life of the awards. The Company estimated the stock price volatility using weekly price observations over the most recent historical period equal to the expected life of the awards. The expected dividend yield for 2010 grants was zero as the Company had not paid or declared any cash dividends to date on its common stock, and did not have plans at that time to pay dividends. With the approval by the Company’s Board of Directors effective February 23, 2011 of the initiation of dividend payments, the Company has computed an expected dividend rate for grants awarded in 2011 based on the relationship of the expected dividend to the stock price on the date of grant.

Restricted Stock
Restricted stock and restricted stock units are valued based on the market value of the Company’s shares on the date of grant, which was equal to the intrinsic value of the shares on that date. These awards vest and the restrictions lapse over varying periods from the date of grant. The Company recognizes compensation expense for the intrinsic value of the restricted awards ratably over the vesting period.

Common Stock Repurchases and Dividends
Effective October 2010, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the continuation of common stock repurchases under Board authorizations originally providing for the repurchase of up to 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. Shares may be purchased at prevailing market prices in the open market or in private transactions, subject to market conditions, share price, trading volume and other factors. The repurchase program may be discontinued at any time. The Company repurchased 117,377 shares of its common stock at an average purchase price of $15.56 per share during the fourth quarter 2010. On July 26, 2011, the Board authorized the repurchase of an additional 500,000 shares under the program. The Company did not purchase any shares during the first half of 2011, but resumed repurchases under the program July 2011, and purchased an additional 458,531 shares through December 31, 2011 at an average price of $13.15 per share. The repurchase program has been funded to date using cash on hand. As of December 31, 2011, 347,009 shares remained available for repurchase under the authorizations.
On February 23, 2011, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the initiation of dividend payments and authorized the first dividend of $0.10 per share payable April 15, followed by two additional dividends at $0.10 per share payable July 15 and September 15. On October 7, 2011, the Board declared a dividend of $0.17 per share to shareholders of record as of November 30, 2011, payable December 15, 2011, resulting in the payment of four dividends in 2011 aggregating $4.6 million. The Company expects quarterly dividend payments during 2012 of approximately $1.7 million.

5) Fair Value Measurements
A hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value is in place that distinguishes market data between observable independent market inputs and unobservable market assumptions by the reporting entity. The hierarchy is intended to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Three levels within the hierarchy may be used to measure fair value:
|
|
|
|
|
|
• |
Level 1: Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
• |
Level 2: Inputs include data points that are observable such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, and inputs (other than quoted prices) such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
• |
Level 3: Inputs are generated from model-based techniques that use significant assumptions not observable in the market. These unobservable assumptions reflect an entity’s own estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. |
The Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis and the fair value hierarchy utilized to determine such fair values is as follows at December 31, 2011 (in thousands):

Foreign currency forward exchange contracts are carried at fair value based on significant other observable market inputs, in this case, quoted foreign currency exchange rates. Such valuation represents the amount the Company would receive or pay to terminate the forward exchange contracts at the reporting date. As of December 31, 2011, the Company held no available-for-sale securities. In prior years, the Company held available-for-sale securities which were carried at fair value based on significant observable inputs other than quoted market prices. Such inputs may include benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, offers and other reference data.
6) Derivatives
The Company enters into forward foreign exchange contracts principally to hedge intercompany receivables denominated in Euros arising from sales to its subsidiary in Germany. The Company’s foreign exchange contracts do not qualify for hedge accounting. As a result, gains or losses related to mark-to-market adjustments on forward foreign exchange contracts are recognized as other income or expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income during the period in which the instruments are outstanding. The fair value of forward foreign exchange contracts represents the amount the Company would receive or pay to terminate the forward exchange contracts at the reporting date and is recorded in other current assets or other current liabilities depending on whether the net amount is a gain or a loss. The Company does not utilize financial instruments for trading or other speculative purposes.
As the Company’s foreign exchange agreement is subject to a master netting arrangement, the Company’s policy is to record the fair value of outstanding foreign exchange contracts as other current assets or other current liabilities, based on whether outstanding contracts are in a net gain or loss position, respectively. See Note 5, “Fair Value Measurements,” for additional information regarding the fair value measurements of derivative instruments related to foreign currency exchange contracts.
51
As of December 31, 2011, the Company had nine outstanding foreign exchange contracts with a notional amount totaling approximately $1,287,000. These contracts mature during 2012 and bear exchange rates ranging from 1.2910 and 1.3553 U.S. Dollars per Euro. As of December 31, 2011, the fair value of foreign exchange contracts resulted in a net gain position of $41,000, which is recorded in other current assets.
As of December 31, 2010, the Company had five outstanding foreign exchange contracts with a notional amount totaling approximately $695,000, all maturing during 2011 at exchange rates ranging from 1.3025 to 1.3539 U.S. Dollars per Euro. As of December 31, 2010, the fair value of foreign exchange contracts resulted in a net loss position of $2,000, which is recorded in other current liabilities.

The net losses from foreign exchange contracts reflected above were largely offset by the underlying transaction net gains arising from the foreign currency exposures for which these contracts relate.
The Company enters into its foreign exchange contracts with a single counterparty, a financial institution. The Company manages its concentration of counterparty risk associated with foreign exchange contracts by periodically assessing relevant information such as the counterparty’s current financial statements, credit agency reports and/or credit references. To further mitigate credit risk, the Company’s Foreign Exchange Agreement with its counterparty includes a master netting arrangement, which allows netting of asset and liability positions of outstanding foreign exchange contracts if settlement were required.

The Company generally believes that it is more likely than not that the future results of its operations will generate sufficient taxable income to realize the tax benefits related to the Company’s net deferred tax assets. However, the Company established full valuation allowances on the tax benefits of loss carryforwards for a subsidiary in Japan established in May 2005 and a majority-owned joint venture in China established in August 2010. The cumulative pre-tax loss amounts generated by the Japanese subsidiary from 2005 through 2011 approximated $2.0 million. The cumulative pre-tax loss generated from 2010 through 2011 by the majority-owned joint venture in China approximated $0.5 million. The valuation allowances were calculated in accordance with the requirement that a valuation allowance be established or maintained when it is “more likely than not” that all or a portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized. The available loss carryforwards at December 31, 2011 of the Company’s Japanese subsidiary and majority-owned joint venture in China are scheduled to expire between tax years 2012 and 2017 in Japan and between 2015 and 2016 in China.
As a result of Rimage’s acquisition of Qumu, the Company established a deferred tax asset of approximately $13.9 million related to the tax benefits of acquired loss and tax credit carryforwards. The net operating losses generated by Qumu approximated $33 million, and will expire between 2020 and 2030 if not utilized. As a result of prior changes in ownership, utilization of U.S. net operating losses and tax credits of Qumu are subject to annual limitations under Internal Revenue Code Sections 382 and 383, respectively. During 2011, the Company initiated an IRC section 382 study with respect to the net operating losses and tax credits of Qumu. The Section 382 limitation and accompanying recognized built-in gain limitation is currently estimated to result in the expiration of $1.2 million of the Company’s gross federal net operating loss carryforward and $0.2 million of research and development credits, with such reductions reflected in the deferred tax asset balances. Except to the extent of carryovers limited by Sections 382 and 383, the Company believes that it is more likely than not that the future results of its operations will generate sufficient taxable income to realize the tax benefits related to the net deferred tax assets established as a result of the acquisition.
The Company has not provided deferred taxes on unremitted earnings attributable to its international subsidiaries that are considered to be reinvested indefinitely. These earnings relate to ongoing operations in Germany and were approximately $6.3 million as of December 31, 2011.
A recognition threshold and measurement criteria are in place for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Guidance is also provided on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.

Included in the balance of unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2011 are potential benefits of $971,000 that if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate. The Company does not anticipate that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2011 will change significantly by December 31, 2012.
The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense. Total accrued interest and penalties amounted to $17,000 and $43,000 on a gross basis at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and are excluded from the reconciliation of unrecognized tax benefits presented above. Interest and penalties recognized in the consolidated statements of income related to uncertain tax positions amounted to a net $26,000 benefit in 2011 and $7,000 of expense in 2010.
The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state and foreign jurisdictions. As of December 31, 2011, the Company was no longer subject to income tax examinations for taxable years before 2010 and 2007 in the case of U.S. federal and German taxing authorities, respectively, and taxable years generally before 2007 in the case of state taxing authorities, consisting primarily of Minnesota and California.
11) Stockholders’ Equity
Preferred Stock Purchase Rights
On September 16, 2003, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted a shareholder rights plan and declared a dividend of one preferred share purchase right (a “Right”) for each share of common stock of the Company outstanding on October 6, 2003 and with respect to each share of common stock issued thereafter. The rights become exercisable only after any person or group (the “Acquiring Person”) becomes or would become the beneficial owner of 15% or more of the Company’s outstanding common stock.
Each Right entitles the registered holder to purchase from the Company 1/100 of a Series A Junior Participating Preferred Share at a price of $100.00 per 1/100 of a Preferred Share, subject to adjustment. In the event that any person or group becomes an Acquiring Person, each holder of a Right, other than Rights that are or were beneficially owned by the Acquiring Person (which will thereafter be void), will thereafter have the right to receive, upon exercise thereof at the then current exercise price of the Right, that number of Common Shares having a market value of two times the exercise price of the Right, subject to certain possible adjustments. If the Company is acquired in certain mergers or other business combination transactions, or 50% or more of the assets or earning power of the Company and its subsidiaries (taken as a whole) are sold, each holder of a Right (other than Rights that have become void under the terms of the Rights Agreement) will thereafter have the right to receive, upon exercise of the Right at the then current exercise price of the Right, the number of common shares of the acquiring company (or, in certain cases, one of its affiliates) having a market value of two times the exercise price of the Right. At any time prior to the time that a person or group has become an Acquiring Person, the Company’s Board of Directors may redeem the Rights in whole, but not in part, at a price of $.001 per Right, subject to adjustment, payable in cash. The Rights will expire at the close of business on September 16, 2013, unless extended or earlier redeemed by the Company. No preferred shares have been issued or are outstanding under the shareholder rights plan as of December 31, 2011.
12) Net Income Per Share
Basic net income per common share is determined by dividing net income by the basic weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted net income per common share includes the potentially dilutive effect of common shares issued in connection with outstanding stock options using the treasury stock method and the dilutive impact of restricted stock units. Stock options to acquire 1,307,000, 1,126,000 and 735,000 weighted average common shares for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 have been excluded from the computation of diluted weighted average shares outstanding for each respective period as their effect is anti-dilutive.
56
The Company calculates net income per share pursuant to the two-class method which requires all outstanding unvested share-based payment awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) to be considered participating securities and included in the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share using the two-class method. The Company included in its computation of weighted average shares outstanding approximately 60,000 weighted average outstanding shares of unvested restricted stock deemed to be participating securities for the year ended December 31, 2011. The following table identifies the components of net income per basic and diluted share (in thousands, except for per share data):

14) Profit Sharing and Savings Plan
Rimage has a profit sharing and savings plan under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. The plan allows employees to contribute up to 100% of pretax compensation. The Company matches a percentage of employees’ contributions. Matching contributions totaled $289,000, $279,000 and $260,000 for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
15) Business Segment Information / Major Customers
Management’s historical assessments of reportable operating segments under ASC 280, “Segment Reporting,” involved a review of the Company’s digital disc publishing platform, consisting of high-performance disc publishing systems that are used by businesses to publish recordable customized digital content on physical optical discs on an on-demand basis. Given the inherent commonality of the economic characteristics associated with each of the product lines within the Company’s disc publishing product platform, e.g., similar design, functionality, production process, customer type and methods of distribution, Management identified one reportable operating segment.
57
Rimage continued to invest in the development of an online publishing solution to provide its customers secure, push-based delivery of digital content. Rimage’s online publishing solution makes content available globally through a cloud based SaaS platform. Products being developed moved into proof of concept testing during 2011 with several of the Company’s disc publishing customers. Rimage expects to launch its online publishing solution in the second quarter of 2012.
In October 2011, Rimage acquired Qumu, a leading provider of enterprise video communications solutions. Qumu products are deployed as an end-to-end solution with an intuitive and rich user-experience to author, manage and distribute live and on-demand video content while integrating video with other media over corporate networks behind and beyond the secure firewall. Qumu deployments are in the form of software, software on a server appliance or a managed service. Revenues generated from the Company’s new enterprise communications product line in 2011 after the date of the acquisition totaled $1.8 million, or 2% of consolidated annual revenues.
Management views the addition of its online publishing solution and Qumu’s enterprise video communications platform as complementary additions to its disc publishing product platform, with each of the three platforms utilizing different technologies to enable different methods of reliable, secure delivery of digital content to businesses worldwide.
Management continues to integrate Qumu’s operations as well as its online publishing solution with the rest of the Company, and is in the process of re-evaluating the manner in which it organizes its operations for the purposes of making operating decisions and the management reporting requirements necessary to assist in assessing performance of such operations. As part of this, Management expects to complete its assessment of reportable operating segments under ASC 280 during the first quarter of 2012.

16) Consolidation of Joint Venture Entity and Noncontrolling Interest
In mid August 2010, the Company received approval of its registration of a majority-owned joint venture in China, Rimage Information Technology (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. (“RIT”), and was issued a business license which allowed initiation of operations. RIT deploys a complete digital publishing solution for medical imaging in hospitals in China. The initial capitalization of RIT consisted of $1,200,000 in cash, of which Rimage invested $612,000 for a 51% interest, and Taiwan Electronic Data Processing (“TEDPC”), a Taiwanese software provider in the healthcare solutions market, invested $588,000 for the remaining 49% interest.
RIT purchases digital publishing systems from Rimage and utilizes medical disc system software source code purchased from TEDPC, and integrates the software with Rimage’s digital publishing systems to allow deployment of a complete digital publishing solution in the Chinese medical imaging market. RIT has a commitment to pay TEDPC a minimum of $1,000,000 over the first three years of operations for the purchase of the software source code and associated intellectual property, which was acquired by RIT from TEDPC in December 2010. To the extent RIT’s sales over the initial three-year period exceed established thresholds, RIT has agreed to pay TEDPC an incremental fee based on unit sales volumes. The Company capitalized the $1,000,000 purchase price for the software source code in intangible assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2011. The software source code is being amortized over its expected useful life of five years. Amortization expense recognized during the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 was approximately $206,000 and $75,000, respectively.
The key operating decisions of the entity are subject to simple majority approval of the Board of Directors of RIT, and Rimage has majority representation on the Board. Given Rimage’s control over the operations of RIT and its majority voting interest, the Company consolidates the financial statements of RIT with its consolidated financial statements, with the equity and earnings (loss) attributed to the noncontrolling interest identified separately in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets and statements of income.
For the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, RIT generated revenue of approximately $583,000 and $67,000 and incurred a net loss of approximately $332,000 and $200,000, respectively, of which approximately $163,000 and $98,000 was attributed to the noncontrolling interest for each respective year. Consolidated stockholders’ equity included $360,000 and $506,000 attributable to the noncontrolling interest as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

17) Investment in Software Company
At December 31, 2010, the Company held a $290,000 convertible note receivable with BriefCam, Ltd. (“BriefCam”), a privately-held Israeli company that develops video synopsis technology to augment security and surveillance systems to facilitate review of surveillance video. In February 2011, the Company participated in the funding of BriefCam’s preferred stock issuance with a cash investment of $2.0 million, and concurrently converted its note receivable into the same series of convertible preferred stock, achieving a minority ownership interest of less than 20%. Rimage will utilize BriefCam’s video synopsis software to enhance its video surveillance solutions with analytical capabilities.
Because Rimage’s ownership interest is less than 20% and it has no other rights or privileges that enable it to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial policies of BriefCam, Rimage accounts for this equity investment using the cost method. Management believes it is not practicable to estimate the fair value of its investment because of the early stage of BriefCam’s business and low volume of BriefCam’s equity transactions. Through its seat on BriefCam’s board of directors, Rimage monitors BriefCam’s results of operations and business plan, and is not aware of any events or circumstances that would indicate a decline in the carrying value of its investment, which amounted to $2.3 million at December 31, 2011 and is included in other noncurrent assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
18) Notes Receivable
In mid 2010, the Company entered into a software license and development agreement with a third party software developer to develop to Rimage’s specifications certain elements of a new online publishing solution currently under development. The agreement required the Company to pay software development fees to the software company based on achievement of established development milestones and license fees based on 25% of fees collected by the Company from future sales of the online publishing solution. In May 2011, the Company and the software company executed an amendment to the software license and development agreement under which the software company agreed to release the Company from the requirement to pay a license fee based on future sales, and in exchange, the Company agreed to extend a $500,000 loan to the software company bearing interest at a rate of 4.75% per annum. Under the amended agreement, Rimage will forgive repayment of the loan and accrued interest upon successful commercialization of the online publishing solution. In the event that the Company does not commercialize the online publishing solution before March 30, 2013, the loan must be repaid by the software company in six installments payable every three months beginning March 30, 2013. This note is included in other noncurrent assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2011. Upon successful commercialization of the online publishing solution, the loan will be forgiven and the balance will be reclassified to a prepaid license fee and amortized to cost of revenues over a period of future sales of the online publishing solution. As the Company currently expects to commercialize the online publishing solution and forgive the note balance and associated accrued interest prior to March 30, 2013, management is not accruing interest receivable on the note at this time.
During the second quarter of 2011, the Company accepted a $334,000 note receivable from a distributor as an extension of payment terms on an open trade accounts receivable balance with the distributor. The note calls for interest at an annual rate of 0.55% and monthly payments of $7,500 through March 2013, at which time all remaining principal and interest become due and payable. As a condition of the note agreement, the distributor must keep its trade receivable account current during the term of the note. The balance of the note at December 31, 2011, was $262,000, of which $89,000 was included in current receivables and $173,000 was included in other noncurrent assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
19) Contingencies
On August 26, 2011, the Company brought a declaratory judgment action against Innovative Automation, LLC, seeking a declaration that the Company does not infringe a patent purportedly owned by Innovative Automation (“asserted patent”) and that the asserted patent is invalid. The asserted patent pertains to methods and a system for providing automated digital data duplication. This case was brought in California and has been combined with two other cases brought by Innovative Automation against two of the Company’s customers. On August 30, 2011, Innovative Automation filed a separate lawsuit in Texas against the Company, some of the Company’s customers, and other defendants, alleging infringement of the asserted patent. On February 6, 2012, a Petition for Reexamination was filed with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, seeking to invalidate each claim of the asserted patent. The Company’s request for reexamination of the asserted patent was granted in early March 2012. The Company believes that the allegations that it infringes any valid claim of the asserted patent are without merit and intends to defend against these claims vigorously. These cases are in the early stages of litigation, and while there can be no assurance as to the outcome of these matters, the Company believes they will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
60
The Company is exposed to a number of asserted and unasserted claims encountered in the normal course of business. Legal costs related to loss contingencies are expensed as incurred. In the opinion of management, the resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
