InfoSonics Corporation
Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(unaudited)
NOTE 1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements and these condensed notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results are likely to differ from those estimates, but management does not believe such differences will materially affect the financial position or results of operations of InfoSonics Corporation (the Company), although they may. These unaudited consolidated financial statements and condensed notes should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes as of and for the year ended December 31, 2006 included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006. These unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments considered, in the opinion of the Companys management, necessary to fairly present the results for the periods covered herein and such adjustments are considered of a normal recurring nature.
The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries, Axcess Mobile LLC, InfoSonics Latin America, Inc., InfoSonics de Mexico S.A. de C.V., InfoSonics de Guatemala S.A., InfoSonics El Salvador S.A. de C.V., InfoSonics S.A., InfoSonics Chile y Compania Limitada and InfoSonics Colombia S.A., all of which are wholly owned. Significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation of these consolidated financial statements.
The unaudited consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2007 does not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. Due to seasonality of the Companys business and other factors, the Companys interim results may not be indicative of the condition at the end of or the results for the full fiscal year of 2007 or at or for any other future period. The unaudited consolidated statements of income and the consolidated statements of comprehensive operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and the unaudited Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the six months ended June 30, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results or cash flows that may be expected for the full fiscal year of 2007 or for any future period.
Share and per share amounts for all periods presented in these consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes (unless otherwise stated) have been adjusted to reflect the two-for-one common stock split in the form of a stock dividend effected on June 19, 2006.
NOTE 2. Stock-Based Compensation
The Company has three equity incentive plans, the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan (2006 Plan), the 2003 Stock Option Plan (2003 Plan) and the 1998 Stock Option Plan (1998 Plan). Each of the plans has been approved by our stockholders. The 2006 Plan is the only plan from which additional equity incentives will be granted. The 2006 Plan authorizes the grant of up to 1,000,000 shares for equity incentives. The Company is also a party to non-plan option agreements with several non-employee directors and several institutions.
Effective January 1, 2006 the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) SFAS No. 123R, Share Based Payments using the modified prospective method, which requires measurement of compensation cost for all stock-based awards at fair value on the date of grant and recognition of compensation over the service period for awards expected to vest. The fair value of stock options was determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model, which is consistent with our valuation techniques previously utilized for stock options in footnote disclosures required under SFAS 123, as amended by SFAS 148. Such fair value is recognized as an expense over the service period, net of estimated forfeitures.
On September 27, 2001, the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) issued EITF Issue 96-18 Accounting for Equity Instruments That are Issued to Other than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services, which requires that equity instruments issued in exchange for certain services be valued at the more accurate of the fair value of the services provided or the fair value of the equity instruments issued. For equity instruments issued that are subject to a required service period the expense associated with the equity instruments is recorded as the instruments vest or the services are provided. The Company has granted options and warrants to non-employees and recorded the fair value of the equity instruments on the date of issuance using the Black-Scholes valuation model. For grants subject to vesting or service requirements, the expense is deferred and is recognized over the more appropriate of the vesting period or as the services are provided.

On March 29, 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) published Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 107, which provides the SEC Staffs views on a variety of matters relating to stock-based payments. SAB 107 requires stock-based compensation to be classified in the same expense line items as cash compensation.

Our stock options vest on an annual or a monthly basis. As of June 30, 2007, there was $611,000 of total unrecognized compensation costs related to the non-vested stock options. The Company recognizes stock-based compensation costs on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award, which is generally the option vesting term. That cost is expected to be recognized over the next weighted-average period of 3.5 years. Such amounts may change as a result of additional grants, forfeitures, modifications in assumptions and other factors. SFAS 123R provides that income tax effects of share-based payments are recognized in the financial statements for those awards which will normally result in tax deductions under existing tax law. During each of the first and second quarter of 2007, we recorded an expense of $97,449 related to options previously granted. Under current U.S. federal tax law, we would receive a compensation expense deduction related to non-qualified stock options only when those options are exercised and vested shares are received. Accordingly, the financial statement recognition of compensation cost for non-qualified stock options creates a deductible temporary difference which results in a deferred tax asset and a corresponding deferred tax benefit in our consolidated statements of income.
The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions used for grants in 2007 and 2006: risk-free interest rate of 4.66% in 2007 and ranging from 4.88% to 5.04% in 2006 based on the U.S. Treasury yields in effect at the time of grant; expected dividend yields of 0 percent as the Company has not, and does not intend to, issue dividends; and expected lives of 3 to 7 years based upon the historical life of options. For grants in 2007 and 2006, the expected volatility used ranged from 62% to 91%, based on the Companys historical stock price fluctuations for a period matching the expected life of the options.
A summary of option activity under all of the above plans as of June 30, 2007 and changes during the six months then ended is presented in the table below:

The weighted-average grant-date fair value of options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2007 was $3.79. The total intrinsic value of options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 was $0 and $0, respectively. There was $263,000 and $937,000 cash received from options exercised for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The stock based compensation unrecognized expense for future periods as of June 30, 2007 is approximately $611,000 with a weighted-average remaining vesting period of 3.5 years.
NOTE 3. Earnings Per Share
The Company utilizes SFAS No. 128, Earnings per Share. Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is computed similarly to basic earnings per share, except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential additional common shares that were dilutive had been issued. Common share equivalents are excluded from the computation if their effect is anti-dilutive. The Companys common share equivalents consist of stock options and warrants.
The following table represents a reconciliation of the shares used to calculate basic and diluted earnings per share for the respective periods indicated:

Common shares from exercise of certain options and warrants have been excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because their exercise prices are greater than the Companys weighted-average stock price for the period. For the three months ended June 30, 2006, the number of shares excluded were 1,810,292. For the six months ended June 30, 2006, the number of shares excluded were 1,866,739.
Since their effect would have been anti-dilutive, 2,371,252 and 2,247,871, stock options and warrants to purchase shares of common stock have been excluded from the computation of net loss per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively.

NOTE 4. Income Taxes
The Company adopted the provisions of FIN 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, (FIN 48), on January 1, 2007. As a result of the implementation of FIN 48, the Company made a comprehensive review of its portfolio of uncertain tax positions in accordance with recognition standards established by FIN 48. In this regard, an uncertain tax position represents the Companys expected treatment of a tax position taken in a filed tax return, or planned to be taken in a future tax return, that has not been reflected in measuring income tax expense for financial reporting purposes. As a result of this review, the Company concluded that at this time there are no uncertain tax positions. As a result of applying the provisions of FIN 48, there was no cumulative effect on retained earnings.
The Company is subject to US federal income tax as well as income tax in multiple states and foreign jurisdictions. For all major taxing jurisdictions, the tax years 2002 through 2006 remain open to examination. As of June 30, 2007, the Company does not expect any material changes to unrecognized tax positions within the next twelve months.
SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, establishes financial accounting and reporting standards for the effect of income taxes. The objectives of accounting for income taxes are to recognize the amount of taxes payable or refundable for the current year and deferred tax liabilities and assets for the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in an entitys financial statements or tax returns. Judgment is required in assessing the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in our financial statements or tax returns. Fluctuations in the actual outcome of these future tax consequences could materially impact our financial position or our results of operations.
NOTE 5. Inventory
Inventory is valued at the lower of cost or market using standard costs that approximate average cost. Inventories are reviewed periodically and items considered to be slow moving or obsolete are reduced to estimated net realizable value through an appropriate reserve. At June 30, 2007, we had in-transit inventory of $15,000, which is under the control of a common freight carrier until it arrives at one of our customer facilities. This inventory is owned by the Company while it is in-transit. In addition, as of June 30, 2007 and 2006, the Company had prepaid inventory of $930,897 and $162,146, respectively. Prepaid inventory represents cash advances for goods that have not yet been received by the Company and the Company is showing these balances as a separate line item on the accompanying balance sheet. Inventory consists of the following:

NOTE 7. Line of Credit
The Company has a line of credit from Wells Fargo HSBC Trade Bank N.A., which provides for advances not to exceed 80% of eligible domestic accounts receivable and up to 85% of foreign-insured accounts receivable (depending on the country of the debtor), up to a maximum of $30,000,000. As of June 30, 2007, the majority of our debt was based on foreign accounts receivable.
10
Interest is payable on a monthly basis (i) at Wells Fargos prime rate minus 0.25% (8.25% at June 30, 2007) or (ii) at the one-month LIBOR plus 1.50% (5.32% at June 30, 2007). The interest rate is floating at Wells Fargos prime rate or is at LIBOR plus 1.5% if the debt is a fixed amount drawn upon. The line of credit is collateralized by substantially all of the assets of the Company, and expires October 1, 2008. In addition to reporting and other non-financial covenants, the line of credit contains certain financial covenants which require the Company to maintain a tangible net worth of not less than $30,000,000 plus 50% of net profit after tax from January 1, 2007, a pre-tax profit of not less than $1 on a rolling four quarter basis, a quick ratio of not less than one-to-one, a debt-to-net worth ratio of not greater than two-to-one, and an annual net income after taxes of at least $1. The Company was in compliance with these covenants at June 30, 2007. At June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the amounts drawn against the line of credit were $19,436,000 and $25,648,614, respectively.
The Company has no other notes payable.
NOTE 8. Stockholders Equity
Stock Options
Effective March 9, 2007, the Company granted options to purchase an aggregate of 40,000 of its common stock to certain foreign contractors (the Contractor Options). One-fourth of the total options subject to these option grants become exercisable one year from the contractor grantees first date of duties, and 1/48th of the total options become exercisable each month thereafter until fully vested. These options have exercise prices of $3.79 per share, which was the closing price per share of the Companys common stock on March 9, 2007, and expire six years from the date of grant. See Note 2 for Stock Based Compensation discussion.
NOTE 9. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2006 the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 155 Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments. SFAS 155 amends SFAS 133 to narrow the scope exception for interest-only and principal-only strips on debt instruments to include only such strips representing rights to receive a specified portion of the contractual interest or principal cash flows. SFAS 155 also amends SFAS 140 to allow qualifying special-purpose entities to hold a passive derivative financial instrument pertaining to beneficial interests that itself is a derivative financial instrument. Generally, FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, requires that a derivative embedded in a host contract that does not meet the definition of a derivative be accounted for separately (referred to as bifurcation) under certain conditions. That general rule notwithstanding, SFAS No. 133 (prior to amendments made to it by SFAS No. 155) provides a broad exception for interest-only and principal-only strips initially resulting from the separation of rights to receive contractual cash flows of a financial instrument that itself does not contain an embedded derivative that would have been accounted for separately. SFAS 155 amends SFAS 133 to restrict the scope exception to strips that represent rights to receive only a portion of the contractual interest cash flows or of the contractual principal cash flows of a specific debt instrument. Prior to amendments made by SFAS 155 , SFAS 140 , Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities, permitted a qualifying special-purpose entity (SPE) to hold only passive derivative financial instruments pertaining to beneficial interests (other than another derivative financial instrument) issued or sold to parties other than the transferor. SFAS 155 amends SFAS 140 to allow a qualifying SPE to hold a derivative instrument pertaining to beneficial interests that itself is a derivative financial instrument.
In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156, Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets (SFAS NO. 156), which provides an approach to simplify efforts to obtain hedge-like (offset) accounting. This Statement amends FASB Statement No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities, with respect to the accounting for separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities. The Statement (1) requires an entity to recognize a servicing asset or servicing liability each time it undertakes an obligation to service a financial asset by entering into a servicing contract in certain situations; (2) requires that a separately recognized servicing asset or servicing liability be initially measured at fair value, if practicable; (3) permits an entity to choose either the amortization method or the fair value method for subsequent measurement for each class of separately recognized servicing assets or servicing liabilities; (4) permits at initial adoption a one-time reclassification of available-for-sale securities to trading securities by an entity with recognized servicing rights, provided the securities reclassified offset the entitys exposure to changes in the fair value of the servicing assets or liabilities; and (5) requires separate presentation of servicing assets and servicing liabilities
11
subsequently measured at fair value in the balance sheet and additional disclosures for all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities. SFAS No. 156 is effective for all separately recognized servicing assets and liabilities as of the beginning of an entitys fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006, with earlier adoption permitted in certain circumstances. The Statement also describes the manner in which it should be initially applied. The Company does not believe that SFAS No. 156 will have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows. As a result, we do not believe the adoption of SFAS 156 has a material impact on the Companys Consolidated Financial Statements.
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157), which defines the fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is encouraged, provided that the registrant has not yet issued financial statements for that fiscal year, including any financial statements for an interim period within that fiscal year.
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 158, Employers Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans (SFAS 158), which improves financial reporting by requiring an employer to recognize the over or under funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan as an asset or liability in its statement of financial position and to recognize changes in that funded status in the year in which the changes occur through comprehensive income of a business entity or changes in unrestricted net assets of a not-for-profit organization. This statement also improves financial reporting by requiring an employer to measure the funded status of a plan as of the date of its year end statement of financial position, with limited exceptions. This Statement amends Statement 87, FASB Statement No. 88, Employers Accounting for Settlements and Curtailments of Defined Benefit Pension Plans and for Termination Benefits, Statement 106, and FASB Statement No. 132 (revised 2003), Employers Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits. Upon the initial application of this statement and subsequently, and employer should continue to apply the provisions in Statements, 87, 88, and 106 in measuring plan assets and benefit obligations as of the date of its statement of financial position and in determining the amount of net periodic benefit cost. An employer with publicly traded equity securities is required to initially recognize the funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan and to provide the required disclosures as of the end of the fiscal year ending after December 31, 2006. An employer without publicly traded equity securities is required to recognize the funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan and to provide the required disclosures as of the end of the fiscal year ending after June 15, 2007. Early application of the recognition or measurement date provisions is encouraged; however, early application must be for all of an employers benefit plans. Retrospective application of the Statement is not permitted.
In September 2006, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 108, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements. This SAB No. 108 provides guidance on the consideration of the effects of prior year misstatements in quantifying current year misstatements for the purpose of a materiality assessment. SAB No. 108 establishes an approach that requires quantification of financial statement errors based on the effects of each of the Companys balance sheet and statement of operations financial statements and the related financial statement disclosures. The SAB No. 108 permits existing public companies to record the cumulative effect of initially applying this approach in the first year ending after November 15, 2006 by recording the necessary correcting adjustments to the carrying values of assets and liabilities as of the beginning of that year with the offsetting adjustment recorded to the opening balance of retained earnings. Additionally, the use of the cumulative effect transition method requires detailed disclosure of the nature and amount of each individual error being corrected through the cumulative adjustment and how and when it arose. The adoption of SAB 108 did not have a material impact on the Companys results of operations and financial position.
In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (FIN 48). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for income taxes by prescribing a minimum probability threshold that a tax position must meet before a financial statement benefit is recognized. The minimum threshold is defined in FIN 48 as a tax position, that based solely on its technical merits is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by the applicable taxing authority. The tax benefit to be recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. FIN 48 must be applied to all existing tax positions upon initial adoption. The cumulative effect of applying FIN 48 at adoption, if any, is to be reported as an adjustment to opening retained earnings for the year of adoption. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006, although early adoption is permitted. The adoption of FIN 48 did not have a material impact on the Companys results of operations and financial position.
12
In October 2006, the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) issued EITF 06-3, How Taxes Collected from Customers and Remitted to Governmental Authorities Should Be Presented in the Income Statement (That is, Gross versus Net Presentation) to clarify diversity in practice on the presentation of different types of taxes in the financial statements. The Task Force concluded that, for taxes within the scope of the issue, a company may adopt a policy of presenting taxes either gross within revenue or net. That is, it may include charges to customers for taxes within revenues and the charge for the taxes from the taxing authority within cost of sales, or, alternatively, it may net the charge to the customer and the charge from the taxing authority. If taxes subject to EITF 06-3 are significant, a company is required to disclose its accounting policy for presenting taxes and the amounts of such taxes that are recognized on a gross basis. The guidance in this consensus is effective for the first interim reporting period beginning after December 15, 2006 (the first quarter of our fiscal year 2007). The adoption of EITF 06-3 did not have a material impact on the Companys results of operations, financial position or cash flow.
In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 (SFAS 159). This standard amends FASB Statement No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investment in Debt and Equity Securities , with respect to accounting for a transfer to the trading category for all entities with available-for-sale and trading securities electing the fair value option. This standard allows companies to elect fair value accounting for many financial instruments and other items that currently are not required to be accounted as such, allows different applications for electing the option for a single item or groups of items, and requires disclosures to facilitate comparisons of similar assets and liabilities that are accounted for differently in relation to the fair value option. SFAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. If elected, the implementation of FAS 159 is not expected to have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 11. Commitments and Contingencies
Securities Class Actions
In the securities class action, captioned In Re: InfoSonics Corporation Securities Litigation, Lead Case No. 06 CV 1231, pending before Judge Moskowitz in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California, Plaintiffs filed a consolidated complaint on February 14, 2007 against the Company and certain of its officers and directors. The consolidated complaint alleges violations of Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act and associated Rule 10b-5, Section 20(a) and Section 20A in connection with the Companys restatement announced on June 12, 2006 and allegedly false and/or misleading statements related to the Companys distribution of the VK Mobile phone. Plaintiffs seek a declaration that their action is a proper class action pursuant to Rule 23(a) and (b)(3), unspecified damages, prejudgment and post-judgment interest, attorneys fees, expert witness fees, other costs, and other unspecified relief. The plaintiffs purport to represent a class of purchasers of the Companys stock during the period February 6, 2006 to August 9, 2006.
The defendants filed a motion to dismiss the consolidated complaint on the grounds, among others, that the plaintiffs had failed to adequately plead violations of the securities laws. After a hearing, the Court issued an order on August 7, 2007 granting in part and denying in part defendants motion. To the extent plaintiffs claims are based on an alleged delay in issuing a restatement for the first quarter 2006, the Courts order dismissed them without prejudice. To the extent that plaintiffs claims are based on various statements related to the VK Mobile phone, the Courts order dismissed selected portions of the claims (one with and the others without prejudice), and allowed other portions of the claims to stand. The Court ordered plaintiffs to file any amended complaint by September 10, 2007, and ordered defendants to file any motion to dismiss such amended complaint by October 1, 2007. At this time, discovery has not begun and no trial date has been set by the Court.

Derivative Action
In the derivative action, captioned In Re InfoSonics Corporation Derivative Litigation, Lead Case No. 06 CV 1336, pending before Judge Moskowitz in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California, plaintiffs filed a consolidated complaint on November 6, 2006 purportedly on behalf of the Company against certain of its officers and directors, and the Company as a nominal defendant. The consolidated complaint alleges claims for violations of Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act, Sections 25402 and 25403 of the California Corporations Code, disgorgement under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, breach of fiduciary duty, abuse of control, gross mismanagement, waste of corporate assets, unjust enrichment, rescission, a constructive trust, and an accounting, in connection with the Companys restatement of first quarter 2006 earnings and in connection with allegations of wrongdoing with respect to granting, exercising, accounting and reporting of the stock options that the Company granted in December 2005. Plaintiffs seek unspecified damages, declaratory relief regarding the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act, and the legality of stock options, a constructive trust, restitution, disgorgement, modification of certain corporate governance and internal procedures, extraordinary equitable and/or injunctive relief, costs, and such other relief as is just and proper.
Defendants filed a motion to dismiss the consolidated complaint on the grounds, among others, that the plaintiffs had failed to make a demand on the Companys board of directors and to adequately allege their other purported claims. The Court took this motion to dismiss under submission on April 27, 2007. The two non-resident director defendants also filed motions to dismiss based upon a lack of personal jurisdiction in California. The Court took the non-resident director defendants motion to dismiss under submission on June 22, 2007. At this time, the Court has not set a date for completion of discovery or trial.
We may become involved in certain other legal proceedings and claims which arise in the normal course of business. Other than as described above, as of June 30, 2007, we did not have any significant litigation outstanding.
Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Forward-Looking Statements and Other General Information
This discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements and condensed notes thereto included in this report and with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006 (including our 2006 audited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto). InfoSonics Corporations (InfoSonics or the Company) discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of any contingent liabilities as of and at the financial statement date, and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis we review our estimates and assumptions. Our estimates are based on our historical experience and other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results are likely to differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions, but we do not believe such differences will materially affect our consolidated statement of operations, although they may. Our critical accounting policies, the policies we believe are most important to the presentation of our financial statements and require the most difficult, subjective and complex judgments, are outlined below in Critical Accounting Policies. All references to results of operations in this discussion are to results from continuing operations, unless otherwise noted.

Overview
We are one of the premier distributors and providers of wireless handsets and accessories in Latin America and the United States. We provide end-to-end handset and wireless terminal solutions for carriers in both Latin America and the United States. We distribute products of several key original equipment manufacturers, including Samsung, Alcatel/TCL, VK Corporation, LG, Novatel and others. We also distribute semi-proprietary products under the Disney brand in Latin America, and are designing and distributing our recently announced proprietary line of products under our own verykool brand, which will include entry level, mid-tier and high-end products.
As an integral part of our customers supply chain, we perform value added services and solutions, including product approval and certification, light assembly, warehousing, logistics services (packing, shipping and delivery), marketing campaigns, warranty services and end-user support. We provide these services for wireless handset manufacturers in order to facilitate sales to carriers, agents, resellers, distributors, independent dealers and retailers in Latin America and the United States. During 2006, we introduced a proprietary line of handsets and accessories under the verykool brand and a semi-proprietary Disney branded handset for Latin America.
Our corporate headquarters is in San Diego, California, and from our facility in Miami, Florida, where we have our Latin America sales and executive offices, we operate our main warehouse and distribution center. This warehouse and distribution center services our customers in the United States and Latin America. In addition, we have warehouse and office facilities in Mexico. We have wholly-owned subsidiaries in Latin America, which conduct some of our business activities in their respective regions of Latin America.
Due to seasonal and other factors, our interim financial condition or operating results may not be indicative of fiscal year 2007 or other future financial condition or operating results. Our financial condition and operating results are influenced by several seasonal and other factors, which may cause our financial condition and operating results to fluctuate on a quarterly basis, including, but not limited to, the timing and introduction of new products by our suppliers and competitors, promotions and subsidies by network operators, technical and certification delays by industry bodies as well as the operators, purchasing patterns of customers, the timing of holidays, the introduction of our proprietary verykool products line and other events affecting consumer demand.

Areas of Management Focus and Performance Indicators
We focus on the needs of our customers, developing and maintaining close relationships with manufacturers, expanding in and entering into new markets, and sourcing and developing new and innovative products, while maintaining close attention to operational efficiencies and costs. We intend to increase shipping volumes and improve efficiencies to enable higher levels of profitability and earnings growth. We provide distribution and other services for original equipment manufacturers, such as Samsung and LG, as well as semi-proprietary products, such as Disney branded products in Latin America, and our own proprietary line of verykool handsets. Performance indicators that are key for the monitoring and management of our business include operating and net income, cost of sales and gross margin percentage, operating expenses as a percent of revenues, and overall net sales growth as well as balances of accounts receivable and inventory. We make extensive use of our customized information system to closely monitor all aspects of our business, including customer relationship management, intelligent purchasing, inventory control, inventory flow, line item margin control for every order, and weighted average cost and statistical data for every product, customer and supplier. We believe a strong focus on providing better service to customers leads to increased customer satisfaction and retention and potential increases in sales.
Management spends a significant amount of time traveling with the purpose of spending time with key customers, suppliers and employees. We believe that these relationships are vital to our success, and we will continue to dedicate a significant amount of time to this area.
Industry Trends and Risks
According to a June 2007 report by Cowen and Company, overall worldwide wireless handset sales increased in 2006 by approximately 21%, and are forecasted to increase 10% in 2007 and 10% in 2008. The bulk of this growth, we believe, came from developing markets in which we do not currently operate, such as India and China. A rapid decline in wireless handset sales growth could negatively impact our net sales. Excess supply conditions, as those experienced in Central America during the quarter ended March 31, 2007, can reduce the market prices of the products we sell and therefore affect our ability to generate net sales and gross profit at historical levels and could affect the value of our inventory. Conversely, should manufacturers be unable to respond to an unanticipated increase in demand on a timely basis, we, along with others in our industry, could experience supply constraints that would affect our ability to deliver products. We are unable to quantify these effects, as it is difficult to predict future supply conditions and demand patterns which affect our ability to meet customer demand or sell handsets at an acceptable gross profit.
Company Specific Trends and Risks
Our strategy incorporates overall market growth elements for each aspect of our business, which we hope will result in continued growth. During the first half of 2007, we increased our inventory levels in anticipation and preparation for potential future sales. Although we have incorporated growth into our strategy, there can be no assurances that this trend of increased sales will continue.
During the quarter ended June 30, 2007, we experienced a significant sequential increase in net sales in Central America accounting for 35% of our total net sales, as compared to 19% for the quarter ended March 31, 2007. This increase was primarily the result of the regional inventory levels returning to a more normalized level enabling our sales efforts to return net sales to their historical quarterly levels. Our South America region continued to show strong sales, accounting for 56% of our net sales in the quarter ended June 30, 2007, after accounting for 61% of net sales for the quarter ended March 31, 2007. This decrease in the South America region is primarily due to increased sales in Central America. In the United States, we experienced a significant sequential decrease in net sales, accounting for 9% of our total net sales, as compared to 21% for the quarter ended March 31, 2007. We believe our United States customer base is in a transitional stage as regional carriers, including an InfoSonics customer, have entered into agreements to be acquired by AT&T Inc. and Verizon Wireless. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of these announced acquistions and our opportunities in the United States.
Results of Operations
Three Months Ended June 30, 2007 and 2006
Net Sales
For the three months ended June 30, 2007, our net sales of $58.3 million is comparable to our sales of $58.3 million for the same period of 2006. Handsets sold in the second quarter 2007 increased 16% as compared to the second quarter of 2006; however, this increase was offset by a decrease in the average selling price of 9%. The geographic mix of net sales shifted in the second quarter of 2007 as sales in the United States increased to 9% of net sales, as compared to 6% of net sales
16
for the second quarter of 2006. Sales in Central America represented 35% of our total quarterly net sales in the quarter ended June 30, 2007 as compared to 41% in the quarter ended June 30, 2006. However, Central America net sales of $20.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2007, are closer to the 2006 quarterly average of $20 million for this region. Our South America region continued to represent the majority of our business, accounting for 56% of our net sales in the second quarter of 2007 as compared to 53% of our net sales for the second quarter of 2006. This regional shift in net sales was the result of two primary factors. The Central America region, which was impacted during the first quarter of 2007 due to excess inventory in the channel, has seen this excess reduced, thereby opening sales channels, enabling an 87% sequential increase in sales to $20.3 million for the second quarter of 2007. The United States region, which experienced a year-over-year increase to 9% of net sales for the second quarter of 2007, suffered a sequential decrease from the first quarter of 2007. Our customer base in the United States was negatively impacted by a pending acquisition of one of our customers by a larger carrier announced at the end of the second quarter of 2007, which we believe negatively impacted that customers buying patterns during the quarter. We continued our sales and marketing efforts in Central and South America, and in Central America, where the channel inventory returned to more normalized levels, we were able to achieve incremental sales to existing customers. In South America, our continued efforts enabled sales to new customers and additional sales to existing customers. This region continues to experience an overall increase in handset sales.

Cost of Sales, Gross Profit and Gross Margin
For the quarter ended June 30, 2007, cost of sales was $55.1 million, or 94.5% of net sales, compared with $53.9 million, or 92.6% of net sales, for the quarter ended June 30, 2006. The increase in our total cost of sales was primarily the result of product mix, as during the second quarter of 2007 the mix was more weighted towards lower margin products. One of our manufacturing partners entered into the low-tier handset range and those products had less margin opportunity than mid-tier and high-end handsets. Low-tier handset business impacted the margin opportunity primarily in Central America. Our gross margin continues to be impacted by the change of product and regional mix of our sales, as different products and different regions can have varying margins.
For the quarter ended June 30, 2007, our gross profit decreased to $3.2 million from $4.3 million, compared with the same quarter last year, a decrease of 26%. This decrease in gross profit was primarily the result of product mix and the lower margin products introduced to the market by one of our manufacturing partners, impacting gross margin potential.

Operating Expenses and Operating Income (Loss) from Continuing Operations
For the quarter ended June 30, 2007, operating expenses decreased 6%, compared with the same quarter last year. As a percentage of net sales, operating expenses were 6.5% in the quarter ended June 30, 2007, compared with 6.9% in the same quarter last year. During the quarter ended June 30, 2007, we incurred $97,000, or 0.2% of net sales, of non-cash expense relating to stock options, compared to $1.2 million, or 2.0% of net sales, for the quarter ended June 30, 2006. The increase, excluding non-cash expense, was primarily the result of investments in facilities, marketing, engineering and product and market development, predominantly attributable to our proprietary verykool product line. We believe such investments are necessary to help build a solid foundation for our business including our verykool products for potential future growth.
For the quarter ended June 30, 2007, our operating loss from continuing operations was $586,000, including the non-cash expense of $97,000 relating to stock options, compared with operating income from continuing operations of $312,000, including the non-cash expense of $1.2 million relating to stock options, for the quarter ended June 30, 2006, a decrease of 288%. As a percentage of net sales, operating loss from continuing operations was 1.0% for the quarter ended June 30, 2007, compared to income of 0.5% for the quarter ended June 30, 2006. The decrease in operating income from continuing operations was a result of the increase in operating expenses discussed above, in addition to the decrease in gross margin.

Net Income (Loss)
During the quarter ended June 30, 2007, our net loss was $447,000, compared to net income of $127,000 in the same period last year. This loss was primarily related to the factors discussed above, including our reduced gross margin opportunities on low-tier products and increased operational expenses and investments relating to primarily our proprietary line of verykool products. The second quarter of 2006 included non-cash expense related to stock options of $1.2 million, as compared to $97,000 in the second quarter of 2007.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2007 and 2006
Net Sales
For the six months ended June 30, 2007, our net sales of $116.7 million was comparable to our net sales of $112.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006. Handsets sold during the six months ended June 30, 2007 increased 14% as compared to the same period in 2006; however, this increase was offset by a decrease in the average selling price of 7%. The geographic mix of net sales shifted for the six months ended June 30, 2007, as compared to the same period of 2006. Sales in the United States increased to 15% of net sales for the first six months in 2007, as compared to 4% of net sales for the same period in 2006. In contrast, our net sales in Central America decreased to 26% of our net sales for the first six months of 2007, as compared to 39% of net sales for the same period 2006. Our South America region continued to represent the majority of our business, accounting for 59% of our net sales for 2007, as compared to 57% for 2006. This regional shift in net sales was the result of two primary factors. Product availability in the United States increased during 2007, enabling us to sell more products to our customers. However, in contrast, the Central America region had excess inventory in the channel during the first quarter of 2007, reducing sales and gross margin. The channel inventory began to return to normalized levels during the second quarter of 2007. In South America, our efforts enabled sales to new customers and additional sales to existing customers. This region continues to experience a general increase in handset sales, and we have opened accounts in new South American countries. For the six months ended June 30, 2007, we incurred a net loss of $1.0 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, as compared to net income of $1.3 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, in the six months ended June 30, 2006.

Cost of Sales, Gross Profit and Gross Margin
For the six months ended June 30, 2007, cost of sales was $110.3 million, or 94.6% of net sales, compared with $103.9 million, or 92.4% of net sales, for the six months ended June 30, 2006. The increase in our total cost of sales was a direct result of many factors including our increased sales levels on a consolidated basis, as well as increased product mix of higher cost products. In the Central America region, during the first quarter of 2007, a significant decrease in handset demand as a result of industry-wide excess inventory in the channel for that particular region, also impacted our ability to sell higher-margin products. During the second quarter of 2007, we began to see channel inventory returning to normalized levels in Central America. Our gross margin continues to be impacted by the change of product and regional mix of our sales, as different products and different regions can have varying margins, and in the second quarter of 2007 gross margins was negatively impacted as one of our manufacturers entered into the low-tier handset range.
For the six months ended June 30, 2007, our gross profit decreased to $6.3 million from $8.5 million, compared with the same period last year, a decrease of 25%. The decrease in gross profit was primarily the result of increased sales of low-tier products having lower margins and inventory levels in Central America during the period. These factors impacted gross margin potential in addition to decreasing the opportunity for sales of higher margin products.

Operating Expenses and Operating Income (Loss) from Continuing Operations
For the six months ended June 30, 2007, operating expenses increased 10%, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2006. As a percentage of net sales, operating expenses were 6.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2007, as compared to 6.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2006. During the six months ended June 30, 2007, we incurred non-cash expense relating to stock options of $195,000, or 0.2% of net sales, compared to $1.2 million, or 1.1% of net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2006. This increase was primarily the result of investments in facilities, marketing, engineering and product and market development, predominantly attributable to our proprietary verykool product line. We believe such investments are necessary to help build a solid foundation for our business including the verykool products for potential future growth.
For the six months ended June 30, 2007, our operating loss from continuing operations was $1.5 million, including the non-cash expense of $195,000 relating to stock options, compared with income of $1.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006, a decrease of 205%. As a percentage of net sales, operating loss from continuing operations was 1.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2007, compared to income of 1.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2006. The decrease in operating income from continuing operations was a result of the increase in operating expenses discussed above, in addition to the decrease in gross margin.

Other Income (Expense)
During the six months ended June 30, 2007, we incurred $271,000 of interest expense, compared to interest expense of $200,000 for the same period last year. We expect to regularly utilize larger amounts on our revolving line of credit, which will increase our interest expense in future periods. During the six months ended June 30, 2006, we had income from a non-cash change in fair value of derivative liability relating to January 2006 financing-related warrants of $399,000. This derivative liability was classified as equity in February 2006 in accordance with SFAS 133, when our registration statement registering the common stock underlying the warrants was declared effective by the SEC.

Net Income (Loss)
During the six months ended June 30, 2007, our net loss was $1.0 million, compared to net income of $1.3 million in the same period last year. This loss was primarily related to the factors discussed above, including our decreased sales in the Central America region in the first quarter in addition to our reduced gross margin and increased operational expenses and investments relating to the potential future of our proprietary line of verykool products. The six months ended June 30, 2006 included non-cash expense related to stock options of $1.2 million, as compared to $195,000 in the first half of 2007. In addition, the six months ended June 30, 2006 included non-cash income from a derivative liability of $399,000 as compared to no such income in 2007. This non-cash income was related to warrants issued in conjunction with a fund raising completed during the six months ended June 30, 2006.
Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash Used in Operating Activities
At June 30, 2007, we had $13.0 million in cash. During the six months ended June 30, 2007, we continued to leverage our bank and vendor lines of credit to fund our growth. The net cash used by operating activities was $10.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007, which resulted primarily from increased inventory levels. The $10.9 million increase in inventory was increased by a $0.8 million increase in prepaid inventory, which was part of a net increase of inventory during the six months ended June 30, 2007. This increase was partially attributable to the build-up of verykool inventory in anticipation of sales for the second half of 2007. Accounts payable at June 30, 2007 increased $3.8 million, compared to December 31, 2006. In addition, this increase was related to our ability to negotiate and utilize our vendors lines of credit during the six months ended June 30, 2007, which was used for increased inventory levels generally.
21
Days of Sales Outstanding
Days of sales outstanding (the average number of days it takes to collect revenue after a sale is made) at June 30, 2007 were 65 days, compared with 62 days at December 31, 2006. This increase was due to customers taking slightly longer than their provided terms to make payments. Normal payment terms require our customers to pay on a net 30-day or net 60-day basis depending on the region. We are constantly working with our customers to reduce our days of sales outstanding. The extension of net 60-day terms was required to remain competitive in several of the regions we currently operate, most notably in Central and South America. In an effort to penetrate new customers and or new markets, we may offer terms beyond our normal terms.
Cash Used in Investing Activities
The net cash used in investing activities was $1.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007, compared with $295,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2006. This use of cash is primarily the result of our investment in tooling and molds for our proprietary verykool products.
Net Cash used in Financing Activities
The net cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2007 of $6.0 million was primarily the result of borrowings on our bank line of credit and offset by approximately $263,000 from the exercise of employee stock options.
Working Capital
Our net working capital at June 30, 2007 was $34.1 million, compared with $36.7 million at December 31, 2006. This decrease was primarily due to our increase in accounts payable and inventory for the six months ended June 30, 2007, partially offset by the decrease in our cash balance and decreased borrowings from our line of credit.
Borrowings
The Company has a line of credit from Wells Fargo HSBC Trade Bank N.A., which provides for advances not to exceed 80% of eligible domestic accounts receivable and up to 85% of foreign-insured accounts receivable (depending on the country of the debtor), up to a maximum of $30,000,000. As of June 30, 2007, the majority of our debt was based on foreign-insured accounts receivable.
Interest is payable on a monthly basis (i) at Wells Fargos prime rate minus 0.25% (8.25% at June 30, 2007) or (ii) at the one-month LIBOR plus 1.50% (5.32% at June 30, 2007). The interest rate is floating at Wells Fargos prime rate or is at LIBOR plus 1.5% if the debt is a fixed amount drawn upon. The line of credit is collateralized by substantially all of the assets of the Company, and expires October 1, 2008. In addition to reporting and other non-financial covenants, the line of credit contains certain financial covenants which require the Company to maintain a tangible net worth of not less than $30,000,000 plus 50% of net profit after tax from January 1, 2007, a pre-tax profit of not less than $1 on a rolling four quarter basis, a quick ratio of not less than one-to-one, a debt-to-net worth ratio of not greater than two-to-one, and an annual net income after taxes of at least $1. Management believes the Company was in compliance with these covenants at June 30, 2007.
We have no other notes payable.
At June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the amounts drawn against the line of credit were $19,436,000 and $25,648,614, respectively. Credit lines have been important parts of growing our business, and market changes affecting accounts receivable could diminish the borrowing base of available funds. At June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, advances were at 67% and 84% of the available borrowing base.
Critical Accounting Policies
We believe the following critical accounting policies are important to the presentation of our financial condition and operating results, and require managements judgments to make assumptions and estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain.
22
Revenue Recognition and Allowance for Returns
Revenues for wireless handset and accessory sales are recognized when (i) shipment of the products to customers has occurred, (ii) when collection of the outstanding receivables is probable and (iii) the final price of the products are determined. Sales are recorded net of discounts, rebates, cooperative arrangements (marketing, training and promotional funds), returns, and allowances. Consideration is given on select sales for cooperative arrangements related to market development, training and special promotions, usually agreed upon in advance. The amount given is generally in the form of a credit memo, which is applied as a reduction of the sale price and same amount is recorded as a current liability. Expenditures made pursuant to the agreed upon activity reduce this liability. To the extent that the Company incurs costs in excess of the established cooperative fund, the Company recognizes the amount as a selling or marketing expense. As part of the sales process, the Company may perform certain value added services such as programming, software loading and quality assurance testing. These value added services are considered an ancillary component of the sales process and amounts attributable to these processes are included in the unit cost to the customer. Furthermore, these value added services are related to services prior to the shipment of the products, and no value added services are provided after delivery of the products. The Company recognizes a reserve against the related receivables estimates for product returns based on historical experience and other judgmental factors, evaluates these estimates on an on-going basis and adjusts its estimates each period based on actual product return activity. The Company recognizes freight costs billed to its customers in revenue and actual freight costs incurred as a component of cost of revenue.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Credit evaluations are undertaken for all major sales transactions before shipment is authorized. Normal payment terms require payment on a net 30 or 60-day basis depending on the customer. On an ongoing basis, we analyze the payment history of customer accounts, including recent customer purchases. We evaluate aged items in accounts receivable and provide reserves for doubtful accounts. Customer creditworthiness and economic conditions may change, including increasing the risk of collectibility and sales returns, and may require additional provisions, which could negatively impact our operating results.
Inventory Write-Off and Effect on Gross Margin
We regularly monitor inventory quantities on hand and record a provision for excess and obsolete inventories based primarily on historical usage rates and our estimated forecast of product demand for a period of time, generally three months. Because of obsolescence, we will generally provide a full reserve for the costs of our inventories in excess of our relevant demand forecast for the applicable period. We attempt to control our inventory levels so that we limit inventories in excess of demand for the succeeding three months. However, because we need to place non-cancelable orders with significant lead time and because it is difficult to estimate product demand, we sometimes build inventories in excess of demand for the applicable future periods. If this occurs, we provide a reserve, which may have a negative impact on our reported results of operations and financial condition.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
The primary objective of the following information is to provide forward-looking quantitative and qualitative information about our potential exposure to market risks. The term market risk for us refers to the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in interest rates and various foreign currencies. The disclosures are not meant to be precise indicators of expected future losses, but rather indicators of reasonably possible losses. This forward-looking information provides indicators of how we view and manage our ongoing market risk exposures.
Interest Rate
We are exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates on our outstanding revolving line of credit. At June 30, 2007, we had $19.4 million outstanding, which could be affected by changes in short-term interest rates. The interest rate for our revolving line of credit is (i) Wells Fargos prime rate minus 0.25% (8.25% at June 30, 2007) or LIBOR plus 1.50% (5.32% at June 30, 2007). For every 1% increase in Wells Fargos prime rate or one-month LIBOR, our interest expense increases by $194,000 annually assuming $19.4 million remained outstanding for the entire year.
The above sensitivity analysis for interest-rate risk excludes accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities because of the short-term maturity of such instruments. The analysis does not consider the effect interest-rate movement may have on other variables relating to our business, including changes in sales volumes that could be indirectly attributed to changes in interest rates. The actions that we would take in response to such a change are also not considered. If it were possible to quantify this impact, the results could differ from the sensitivity effects shown above.
23
Market Risk
Substantial portions of our revenue and expenses are transacted in markets outside the United States; however, all sales transactions and accounts receivable are denominated in U.S. dollars. As a result of our international sales, our future operating results could be adversely affected by a variety of factors, including changes in specific countries political, economic or regulatory conditions, and trade protection measures. Our market risk management includes an accounts receivable insurance policy for both our domestic and foreign sales. However, there can be no assurance that our insurance policy will substantially offset the impact of fluctuations in currency exchange rates, political, economic or regulatory conditions on its results of operations and financial position. Foreign currency fluctuations did not have a material impact on our financial results during the six months ended June 30, 2007. Please see Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Operations
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls
Pursuant to Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of the Companys management, including the Chief Executive Officer and President and the Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on the evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and President and the Chief Financial Officer, concluded that the Companys disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by the report.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
The Chief Executive Officer and President and the Chief Financial Officer conducted an evaluation of our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f)) (Internal Control) to determine whether any changes in Internal Control occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2007, that have materially affected or which are reasonably likely to materially affect Internal Control. Based on that evaluation, no such change occurred during such period.
The Company is not an accelerated filer (i.e. the Companys public float at June 30, 2007 is less than $75 million) for the fiscal year 2006; accordingly, the internal controls certification and attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley act will not be applicable to the Company until the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007. Notwithstanding the fact that these internal control requirements are not applicable to the Company at this time, the Company has been reviewing its internal control procedures and it has retained an outside firm to assist in this process.
Securities Class Actions
In the securities class action, captioned In Re: InfoSonics Corporation Securities Litigation, Lead Case No. 06 CV 1231, pending before Judge Moskowitz in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California, Plaintiffs filed a consolidated complaint on February 14, 2007 against the Company and certain of its officers and directors. The consolidated complaint alleges violations of Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act and associated Rule 10b-5, Section 20(a) and Section 20A in connection with the Companys restatement announced on June 12, 2006 and allegedly false and/or misleading statements related to the Companys distribution of the VK Mobile phone. Plaintiffs seek a declaration that their action is a proper class action pursuant to Rule 23(a) and (b)(3), unspecified damages, prejudgment and post-judgment interest, attorneys fees, expert witness fees, other costs, and other unspecified relief. The plaintiffs purport to represent a class of purchasers of the Companys stock during the period February 6, 2006 to August 9, 2006.
The defendants filed a motion to dismiss the consolidated complaint on the grounds, among others, that the plaintiffs had failed to adequately plead violations of the securities laws. After a hearing, the Court issued an order on August 7, 2007 granting in part and denying in part defendants motion. To the extent plaintiffs claims are based on an alleged delay in
24
issuing a restatement for the first quarter 2006, the Courts order dismissed them without prejudice. To the extent that plaintiffs claims are based on various statements related to the VK Mobile phone, the Courts order dismissed selected portions of the claims (one with and the others without prejudice), and allowed other portions of the claims to stand. The Court ordered plaintiffs to file any amended complaint by September 10, 2007, and ordered defendants to file any motion to dismiss such amended complaint by October 1, 2007. At this time, discovery has not begun and no trial date has been set by the Court.
Derivative Action
In the derivative action, captioned In Re InfoSonics Corporation Derivative Litigation, Lead Case No. 06 CV 1336, pending before Judge Moskowitz in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California, plaintiffs filed a consolidated complaint on November 6, 2006 purportedly on behalf of the Company against certain of its officers and directors, and the Company as a nominal defendant. The consolidated complaint alleges claims for violations of Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act, Sections 25402 and 25403 of the California Corporations Code, disgorgement under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, breach of fiduciary duty, abuse of control, gross mismanagement, waste of corporate assets, unjust enrichment, rescission, a constructive trust, and an accounting, in connection with the Companys restatement of first quarter 2006 earnings and in connection with allegations of wrongdoing with respect to granting, exercising, accounting and reporting of the stock options that the Company granted in December 2005. Plaintiffs seek unspecified damages, declaratory relief regarding the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act, and the legality of stock options, a constructive trust, restitution, disgorgement, modification of certain corporate governance and internal procedures, extraordinary equitable and/or injunctive relief, costs, and such other relief as is just and proper.
Defendants filed a motion to dismiss the consolidated complaint on the grounds, among others, that the plaintiffs had failed to make a demand on the Companys board of directors and to adequately allege their other purported claims. The Court took this motion to dismiss under submission on April 27, 2007. The two non-resident director defendants also filed motions to dismiss based upon a lack of personal jurisdiction in California. The Court took the non-resident director defendants motion to dismiss under submission on June 22, 2007. At this time, the Court has not set a date for completion of discovery or trial.
We may become involved in certain other legal proceedings and claims which arise in the normal course of business. Other than as described above, as of June 30, 2007, we did not have any significant litigation outstanding.
In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I. Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006 and in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2007, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or operating results. The risk factors and uncertainties described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, this report and First Quarter report on Form 10-Q are not the only risks and uncertainties facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially affect our business, financial condition or operating results. Except as set forth below, there have been no material changes to the risk factors included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as updated by the disclosures in our First Quarter Report on Form 10-Q during the period covered by this report.
We may not succeed in our introduction of proprietary products.
The introduction of new products such as our proprietary verykoolTM line may depress sales of existing products and may not be well received by our carrier customers and consumers. Failure to adequately carry out our product marketing, sales and delivery strategy may result in significant inventory obsolescence.
We could lose customers or orders as a result of consolidation in the wireless telecommunications carrier industry.
There has been significant consolidation in the wireless industry, particularly in the U.S. Rural Service Area market, which has caused extreme price competition and reduced our number of potential customers. Future consolidations could further erode our potential markets. This could also lead to fluctuations in our quarterly results and carrying value of our inventory. These consolidated entities may also order fewer products from us or elect to no longer do business with us or demand pricing changes in order to compete.
We buy a significant amount of our products from a limited number of suppliers, who may not provide us with competitive products at reasonable prices when we need them in the future.
We purchase wireless handsets and accessories principally from wireless communications equipment manufacturers and distributors. We depend on these suppliers to provide us with adequate inventories of currently popular brand name products on a timely basis and on favorable pricing and other terms, as well as on our suppliers quantity and financial stability. For the quarter ended June 30, 2007, three suppliers accounted for 56%, 23% and 11%, respectively, of our total cost of sales. We currently have one exclusive and several non-exclusive agreements with our principal suppliers, which can be terminated on short notice and provide for certain territorial restrictions. Our suppliers may not offer us competitive products on favorable terms or with timely delivery. In addition new products from other manufacturers could impact the demand for products from manufacturers we represent. From time to time, we have been unable to obtain sufficient product supplies. Any failure or delay by our suppliers, particularly our three primary vendors, in supplying us with products on favorable terms may severely diminish our ability to obtain and deliver products to our customers on a timely and competitive basis. If we lose any of our principal suppliers, or if these suppliers are unable to fulfill our product needs, or if any principal supplier imposes substantial price increases and alternative sources of supply are not readily available, it would have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial conditions.
25
The loss or reduction in orders from principal customers or a reduction in prices we are able to charge these customers will have a negative impact upon our revenues and could cause our stock price to decline.
Our four largest customers in the quarter ended June 30, 2007 represented 25%, 14%, 12% and 12% of our net sales. These customers are carriers in Latin America. The markets we serve are subject to significant price competition. Additionally, our customers are not contractually obligated to purchase products from us. For these and other reasons, such as competitive pricing and competitive pressures, customers may seek to obtain products or services from us at lower prices than we have been able to obtain from these customers in the past. This could occur, for example, in the case of a customer purchasing large quantities of a product from us, who then terminates this relationship because the customer can obtain a lower price by buying directly from the manufacturer or other supplier. The loss of any of our principal customers, a reduction in the amount of product or services our principal customers order from us or the inability to maintain current terms, including price, with these or other customers could have an adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and liquidity. In addition, we have experienced losses of certain customers through industry consolidation and in the ordinary course of business. There can be no assurance that any of our customers will continue to purchase products or services from us or that their purchases will be at the same or greater levels than in prior periods.
Approximately 91% and 85% of our revenues during the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively, were generated outside of the United States in countries that may have volatile currencies or other risks.
We engage in significant sales activities in territories and countries outside of the United States, particularly Latin American countries, including Argentina. All our sales transactions are completed in U.S. dollars. The fact that we distribute products into a number of territories and countries exposes us to, among other things, increased credit risks, customs duties, import quotas and other trade restrictions, potentially greater and more unpredictable inflationary pressures, and shipping delays. Changes may occur in social, political, regulatory and economic conditions or in laws and policies governing foreign trade and investment in the territories and countries where we currently distribute products. United States laws and regulations relating to investment and trade in foreign countries could also change to our detriment. Any of these factors could have material adverse effects on our business and operations. Although we purchase and sell products and services in U.S. dollars and do not engage in exchange swaps, futures or options contracts or other hedging techniques, fluctuations in currency exchange rates could reduce demand for products sold in U.S. dollars. We cannot predict the effect that future exchange rate fluctuations will have on our operating results. We may in the future engage in currency hedging transactions, which could result in our incurring significant additional financial risks, including losses.
We have outstanding indebtedness, which is secured by substantially all our assets and could prevent us from borrowing additional funds, if needed.
We had outstanding debt in the amount of $19.4 million at June 30, 2007 and $25.6 million at December 31, 2006 in the form of a bank line of credit of up to $30 million based on a borrowing base, which is based on a percentage of eligible accounts receivable. Any significant decrease in our level of eligible accounts receivable will reduce our ability to borrow additional funds to adequately finance our operations and expansion strategies. If we violate our loan covenants, default on our obligations or become subject to a change of control, our indebtedness would become immediately due and payable. The terms of our credit facility restrict us from incurring additional indebtedness, which could limit our ability to expand our operations. We are also subject to negative covenants that, among other things, limit our ability to sell certain assets and make certain payments, including, but not limited to, dividends, repurchases of common stock and other payments outside the normal course of business, as well as prohibiting us from merging or consolidating with another corporation or selling all or substantially all of our assets.
We depend on third parties to manufacture our proprietary verykool products that we distribute and, accordingly, rely on their quality control procedures, while assuming the inventory risk associated with those products.
Product manufacturers typically provide no warranties on the proprietary products directly to the end consumer or to us, therefore we are solely responsible for such warranty to the end consumer. If a product we distribute for a manufacturer has quality or performance problems, our ability to provide satisfactory products to our customers could be disrupted and our reputation could be impaired. In addition as the verykool products are manufactured exclusively for us, we are burdened with carrying the inventory and there can be no assurance that we will be able to sell these devices before payment is due and at prices above our cost. Either of these risks could have a negative effect on our operations, condition and future liquidity.
