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, 2007 included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007. 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 Corporation 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 and statements of operations as of March 31, 2008 do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The unaudited consolidated balance sheet, the unaudited consolidated statements of operations and the unaudited consolidated statements of comprehensive operations at or for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and the unaudited consolidated statement of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the financial condition, operating results or cash flows that may be expected for the full fiscal year of 2008 or for any future period.
NOTE 2. Stock-Based Compensation
The Company has three equity incentive plans, the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan (2006 Plan), the 2003 Stock Option Plan (2003 Plan) and the 1998 Stock Option Plan (1998 Plan). Each of the plans has been approved by our stockholders. The 2006 Plan 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.
On December 28, 2007, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) staff published Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 110 (SAB 110), which updates SAB 107, provides the SEC staffs views on a variety of matters relating to stock-based payments. SAB 110 requires stock-based compensation to be classified in the same expense line items as cash compensation. Information about stock-based compensation included in the results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 is as follows:

Our stock options vest on an annual or a monthly basis. As of March 31, 2008, there was $220,000 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
7
expected to be recognized over the next weighted-average period of 3.75 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 the first quarter of 2008, we recorded an expense of $20,392 related to options previously granted and granted during the first quarter of 2008. 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 operations.
The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions used for grants in 2008 and 2007: risk-free interest rate of 1.47% in 2008 and 4.66% in 2007, 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 6 years based upon the historical life of options. For grants in 2008 and 2007, the expected volatility used ranged from 88% to 89%, 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 March 31, 2008 and changes during the three months then ended is presented in the table below:

The weighted-average grant-date fair value of options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2008 was $1.04. The total intrinsic value of options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 was $0 and $0, respectively. There was $22,453 and $253,380 cash received from options exercised for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
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.
8
Since their effect would have been anti-dilutive, 3,588,922 and 3,945,524, stock options and warrants to purchase shares of common stock have been excluded from the computation of net loss per share for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 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 2007 remain open to examination. As of March 31, 2008, 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 stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market and consists primarily of cellular phones and cellular phone accessories. The Company provides for the possible inability to sell its inventory by recording a reserve. As of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the inventory reserve was $498,000 and $580,000 respectively. At March 31, 2008, we had inventory in-transit of $737,000, 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. From time to time, the Company has prepaid inventory as a result of payments for products which have not been received by the balance sheet date. As of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the prepaid inventory balances were $2.7 million and $462,000, respectively. Inventory consists of the following:

NOTE 8. Borrowings
Until April 30, 3008, the Company had a line of credit from Wells Fargo HSBC Trade Bank N.A., which provided 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. At March 31, 2008, the majority of our debt was based on foreign accounts receivable.
Under the Wells Fargo HSBC Trade Bank line of credit, interest was payable on a monthly basis (i) at Wells Fargos prime rate minus 0.25% (5.25% at March 31, 2008) or (ii) at the one-month LIBOR plus 1.50% (2.70% at March 31, 2008). The interest rate floated at Wells Fargos prime rate or was at LIBOR plus 1.5% if the debt was a fixed amount drawn upon. The line of credit was collateralized by substantially all of the assets of the Company, and was to expire October 1, 2008. In addition to reporting and other non-financial covenants, the line of credit contained certain financial covenants which required 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 did not meet all of these financial covenants at March 31, 2008. The Company received a waiver from Wells Fargo relating to default rights Wells Fargo may have had due to the Company failing to meet certain of these financial covenants at March 31, 2008. At March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the amounts drawn against the line of credit were $26,466,350 and $26,755,100, respectively.
On April 30, 2008, the Company entered into a Loan, Security and Bulk Purchase Agreement and a Letter of Credit and Security Agreement (collectively, the Agreement) with Wells Fargo Century, Inc. (Lender), replacing its existing asset-based secured credit facility with Wells Fargo HSBC Trade Bank, N.A. Pursuant to the Agreement, the Lender may advance up to $45,000,000 to the Company based on the expected collections of eligible receivables as well as value of the Companys eligible inventory determined in accordance with the Agreement. The outstanding advances may not exceed the lesser of $45,000,000 or the sum of the value of the eligible receivables and eligible inventory (times their respective advance rates as set forth in the Agreement). The credit facility has a two-year term ending April 2010 and is secured by all of the assets of the Company. The interest rate for each borrowing under the credit facility is at the option of the Company, either the Wells Fargo Bank N.A. prime rate minus 0.50% or the LIBOR rate plus 2.00%.
The Company has no other notes payable.
NOTE 9. Stockholders Equity
Stock Options
Effective March 18, 2008, the Company granted options to purchase an aggregate of 180,500 of its common stock to certain non-executive employees (the Employee Options). One-fourth of the total options subject to these option grants become exercisable one year from the date of grant, and 1/48th of the total options become exercisable each month thereafter until fully vested. These options have exercise prices of $1.04 per share, which was the closing price per share of the Companys common stock on March 18, 2008, and expire six years from the date of grant. See Note 2 for Stock Based Compensation discussion.

NOTE 10. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
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. The adoption of SFAS 157 did not have a material impact on the Companys results of operations and financial position.
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. The adoption of SFAS 159 did not have a material impact on the Companys results of operations and financial position.
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) has issued FASB Statements No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations, and No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements. These new standards represent the completion of the FASBs first major joint project with the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). The FASB and the IASB first initiated the joint project that resulted in the new standards because U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) differed widely in their approach to accounting for business combinations. The IASB plans to issue its counterpart standards IFRS 3 (revised), Business Combinations, and International Accounting Standard 27 (as revised in 2007), Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements, early next year. The new standards to be issued by the IASB are expected to contain the same fundamental principles as those of the FASB, but will diverge with respect to certain issues.
In Statement No. 141 (revised 2007), the FASB retained the fundamental requirements of Statement No. 141 to account for all business combinations using the acquisition method (formerly the purchase method) and for an acquiring entity to be identified in all business combinations. However, the fair value principles in the revised Statement are a major change from Statement No. 141s cost allocation process, together with other revisions from past practice. Among numerous changes, Statement No. 141(R) requires the acquiring entity in a business combination to:
· Recognize the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at the acquisition date, measured at their fair values as of that date, with limited exceptions
· Recognize and measure the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase
· Expense acquisition-related costs, such as legal and due diligence costs, when incurred
· Recognize any restructuring costs that the acquiring entity expects to incur with respect to the acquired business as an expense, rather than capitalize as part of the acquisition
· Disclose to investors and other users all of the information they need to evaluate and understand the nature and financial effect of the business combination.
FASB Statement No. 160 amends Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, Consolidated Financial Statements, and requires all entities to report noncontrolling (minority) interests in subsidiaries within equity in the consolidated financial statements, but separate from the parent shareholders equity. Statement No. 160 also requires any acquisitions or dispositions of noncontrolling interests that do not result in a change of control to be accounted for as equity transactions. Further, the Statement requires that a parent recognize a gain or loss in net income when a subsidiary is deconsolidated.
The final business combinations and noncontrolling interests Statements are effective for annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The Statements should be applied on a prospective basis, except for the presentation and disclosure requirements of Statement No. 160, which must be applied retrospectively. Entities are prohibited from adopting the Statements before their effective dates.
In March 2008, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161 (SFAS 161), Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activitiesan amendment of FASB Statement No. 133. SFAS 161 amends and expands the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and hedging activities. Entities are required to provide enhanced disclosures about (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related
11
hedged items are accounted for under SFAS 133 and its related interpretations, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entitys financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. This statement encourages, but does not require, comparative disclosures for earlier periods at initial adoption. The Company does not believe adoption of SFAS 161 will have a material effect on the Companys financial statements.

NOTE 12. Commitments and Contingencies
Securities Class Actions
In the securities class action, captioned In Re: InfoSonics Corporation Securities Litigation, Lead Case No. 06 CV 1231, now pending before Judge Sammartino in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California, Plaintiffs filed a second amended consolidated complaint on September 10, 2007 against the Company and certain of its officers and directors. The second amended 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 announcement of the Companys restatement of first quarter 2006 earnings and in connection with 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.
On October 1, 2007, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss the second amended consolidated complaint. On April 28, 2008, the Court issued an order granting in part and denying in part defendants motion to dismiss the second consolidated amended class action complaint. Specifically, the Court dismissed without prejudice plaintiffs claims based on defendants restatement of first quarter 2006 earnings and dismissed without prejudice all claims against defendant Althoff. The Court denied the motion to dismiss claims against defendant Klausner based on the February 6, 2006 press release. Plaintiffs may file a third amended class action complaint on or before May 26, 2008. Defendants responsive pleading is due June 16, 2008. 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, now pending before Judge Sammartino 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.
12
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. On September 4, 2007, the Court granted defendants motion to dismiss for failure to make a demand on the board, and also granted with prejudice the motion to dismiss the Sarbanes-Oxley claim. The Court denied the other grounds for dismissal. On March 4, 2008, the Court entered an order continuing the deadline for plaintiffs to file an amended complaint to June 3, 2008. At this time, discovery on the merits has not begun and no trial date has been set by the Court.
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 March 31, 2008, 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 and other information included in this report and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007 (including our 2007 audited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto and other information). InfoSonics Corporations (InfoSonics or the Company) discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations are based upon, among other things, our unaudited consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosures of contingent liabilities as of and at the financial statement date, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. On an ongoing basis, we review our estimates and assumptions. Our estimates are based on our historical experience and other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results are likely to differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions, but we do not believe such differences will materially affect our financial position or results of operations, although they may. Our critical accounting policies, the policies we believe are most important to the presentation of our financial statements and require the most difficult, subjective and complex judgments, are outlined below in Critical Accounting Policies. All references to results of operations in this discussion generally are to results from continuing operations, unless otherwise noted.

These risks and uncertainties, in whole or in part, could cause such expectations to fail to be achieved and have a material adverse effect on InfoSonics business, financial condition and results of operations, including, without limitation: (1) intense competition, regionally and internationally, including competition from alternative business models, such as manufacturer-to-carrier sales, which may lead to reduced prices, lower sales or reduced sales growth, lower gross margins, extended payment terms with customers, increased capital investment and interest costs, bad debt risks and product supply shortages; (2) inability to secure adequate supply of competitive products on a timely basis and on commercially reasonable terms; (3) foreign exchange rate fluctuations, devaluation of a foreign currency, adverse governmental controls or actions, political or economic instability, or disruption of a foreign market, and other related risks of our international operations; (4) the ability to attract new sources of profitable business from expansion of products or services or risks associated with entry into new markets, including geographies, products and services; (5) an interruption or failure of our information systems or subversion of access or other system controls may result in a significant loss of business, assets, or competitive information; (6) significant changes in supplier terms and relationships; (7) termination of a supply or services agreement with a major supplier or product supply shortages; (8) continued consolidation in the wireless handset carrier market; (9) extended general economic downturn; (10) loss of business from one or more significant customers; (11) customer and geographical accounts receivable concentration risk; (12) rapid product improvement and technological change resulting in inventory obsolescence; (13) future terrorist or military actions; (14) the loss of a key executive officer or other key employees; (15) changes in consumer demand for multimedia wireless handset products and features; (16) our failure to adequately adapt to industry changes and to manage potential growth and/or contractions; (17) seasonal buying patterns; (18) dependency on Latin American sales; (19) uncertain political and economic conditions
13
internationally; (20) the impact, if any, of changes in EITF 00-19 or SFAS 133 guidance as it relates to warrants and registration rights and SFAS 123R as it relates to stock options; (21) the resolution of any litigation against the company; (22) the ability of the Company to successfully introduce and sell its verykool® products and the related inventory risk of such products; and (23) the ability of the Company to generate taxable income in future periods in order to utilize and realize any quarterly tax benefits recorded. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in our forward looking statements.
InfoSonics has instituted in the past and continues to institute changes to our strategies, operations and processes to address risks and uncertainties and to mitigate impact on InfoSonics results of operations and financial condition. However, no assurances can be given that InfoSonics will be successful in these efforts. For a further discussion of significant factors to consider concerning InfoSonics, see Risk Factors below in this report and Item 1A. Risk Factors of InfoSonics Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007. In addition, other risks or uncertainties may be detailed from time to time in InfoSonics future SEC filings.
Overview
We are one of the premier distributors and providers of wireless handsets and accessories in Latin America. We provide end-to-end handset and wireless terminal solutions for carriers in Latin America. We distribute products of several key original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), including Samsung, LG, Novatel and others. We are also involved in the designing, sourcing and distribution of a proprietary line of products under our own verykool® brand, which includes entry level, mid-tier and high-end products.
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 OEMs and for our own verykool® products in order to facilitate sales to carriers, agents, resellers, distributors, independent dealers and retailers in Latin America. We previously introduced a proprietary line of handsets and accessories under the verykool® brand, for which we are involved in several aspects, including the design and feature sets, and contract with various design and contract manufacturers in Asia to develop exclusive or semi-exclusive products for us.
In October 2007, we relocated our corporate headquarters from one location to another in San Diego, California. In addition we have a facility in Miami, Florida, where we have our Latin America sales and executive offices, and operate our main warehouse and distribution center. This warehouse and distribution center services our customers in Latin America. 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 2008 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 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 OEMs, such as Samsung and LG 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 our products, customers and suppliers, as appropriate. We believe a strong focus on providing better service to customers leads to increased customer satisfaction and retention and potential increases in sales.
14
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 January 2008 report by Cowen and Company, 2007 overall worldwide wireless handset sales increased by approximately 16%, and are forecasted to increase 12% in 2008 and 5% in 2009. The two largest areas of growth are Africa and Asia Pacific, regions in which we do not currently operate. A rapid decline in wireless handset sales growth could negatively impact our net sales. Excess supply conditions can reduce the market prices of the products we sell and therefore affect our ability to generate net sales and gross profit at expected levels and could affect the value of our inventory. For example, United States rural service area carrier consolidation resulted in a decrease in the value of some of our inventory carried for that region, which inventory was sold below our cost during 2007. 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 growth. Certain of our manufacturers entered into the low-tier handset market during 2007 and continue to market them in 2008, which has had a positive impact on our volumes of handsets sold, but a negative impact on gross profit margin. During the first quarter of 2008, we decreased our inventory levels as we worked more towards a just-in-time inventory model. Our verykool® proprietary line of products, for which we have six models selling as of March 31, 2008, showed continued ramp-up of sales in the first quarter of 2008 and could be an important part of our overall business in the future.
The addition of the verykool® and LG products during 2007 continues to assist with manufacturer and product diversification for Central and South America, which should be beneficial as we move forward and work towards profitability again. On a sequential basis, we were able to increase our gross margins to 5.2% for the quarter ended March 31, 2008, as compared to 4.3% for the quarter ended December 31, 2007. This increase was primarily due to the increased volume and product mix of our verykool® products.
In the United States, we experienced a significant sequential decrease in net sales to $0.1 million, accounting for less than 1% of our total net sales in the quarter ended March 31, 2008, as compared to $5.7 million, or 10%, for the quarter ended December 31, 2007. We have seen some of our significant United States customer base complete the transitional stage as regional carriers, including some of our customers being acquired in 2007 by AT&T, T-Mobile USA and Verizon Wireless. With the potential United States customer base reduced, we are currently evaluating the impact of these acquisitions and other developments for our future opportunities in the United States.
Results of Operations
Three Months Ended March 31, 2008 Compared With Three Months Ended March 31, 2007
Net Sales
For the three months ended March 31, 2008, our net sales of $68.3 million increased 17% compared to our sales of $58.4 million for the same period of 2007. Wireless handsets sold in the first quarter of 2008 increased 53%, as compared to the first quarter of 2007, due primarily to increases in Central and South America with existing and new customers. However, this increase was offset by a 20% decrease in the average selling price, due to a larger mix of low-tier product sold. The geographic mix of net sales shifted in the first quarter of 2008 as sales in the United States significantly decreased to less than 1% of net sales, as compared to 20% of net sales for the first quarter of 2007. Sales in Central America increased to 31% of total net sales in the quarter ended March 31, 2008, as compared to 19% in the quarter ended March 31, 2007. Our South America region sales continued to represent the majority of our business, accounting for 69% of our net sales in the first quarter of 2008 as compared to 61% of our net sales for the first quarter of 2007. These regional shifts in net sales were the result of a number of factors as discussed above and below.
15
In South and Central America, we have expanded our customer base as well as our geographic presence by adding additional customers as well as expanding our business with existing customers, which has resulted in increased net sales. Conversely, our customer base in the United States has been negatively impacted by the acquisition of our two most significant United States customers, Dobson Cellular Systems Inc. and Suncom Wireless, by larger carriers. In addition, we continued progress with our proprietary verykool® line of products with sales and marketing efforts in Central and South America, resulting in sales of verykool® products accounting for nearly 10% of our net sales for the quarter ended March 31, 2008. In Central America, we increased sales 97% to $21.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2008, compared to $10.9 million in the same quarter for 2007, which was primarily due to an unusually low sales level in the first quarter of 2007 due to customers having unusually large levels of inventory on hand during the first quarter of 2007. In South America, sales were $46.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2008, a 32% increase from the same quarter in 2007. This increase was primarily due to the opening of a new country in additional to increased sales levels in existing countries in South America.

Cost of Sales, Gross Profit and Gross Margin
For the quarter ended March 31, 2008, cost of sales was $64.8 million, or 94.8% of net sales, and gross margin was 5.2%, as compared with $55.3 million, or 94.6% of net sales, and 5.4% for gross margin for the quarter ended March 31, 2007. The increase in our total cost of sales and decrease in gross margin are due to higher levels of sales and product mix shift, including sales of more low-tier and low-margin products. Some of our OEM partners previously entered into the low-tier handset range, which had less margin opportunity than mid-tier and high-end handsets. This was partially offset by our verykool® proprietary products, which have gross margins significantly higher than OEM product sales and verykool® products were a larger percentage of our product mix in the first quarter of 2008, compared to the same period in 2007. Our gross margin continues to be impacted by the change of product and regional mix of our sales, as different products and different regions have varying margins.
For the quarter ended March 31, 2008, our gross profit increased to $3.5 million from $3.1 million, as compared with the same quarter last year, an increase of 12%. This increase in gross profit was primarily the result of the increased verykool® products in our mix, as those higher margin products continue to become a larger part of our net sales mix.

Operating Expenses and Operating Income Loss
As a percentage of net sales, operating expenses decreased to 6.2% in the quarter ended March 31, 2008, compared with 6.9% in the same quarter last year. The decrease in operating expenses as a percentage of sales was due to the increased overall net sales volume without a similar increase in related expenses. For the quarter ended March 31, 2008, operating expenses increased 6%, as compared with the same quarter last year. The dollar increase in operating expenses is primarily due to the increased activity and operational expenses related to our increased sales of our proprietary verykool® products in our markets, as we continued our investments in facilities, marketing, engineering and product and market development. We believe such investments are necessary to help build a solid foundation for our business, including our verykool® products and for potential future growth.
16
For the quarter ended March 31, 2008, our operating loss was $736,000, compared with operating loss of $882,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2007, a decrease of 17%. As a percentage of net sales, operating loss was 1.1% for the quarter ended March 31, 2008, compared to a loss of 1.5% for the quarter ended March 31, 2007. The decrease in operating loss was a result of the increase in net sales and gross profits, partially offset by the increase in operating expenses as discussed above.

Other Expense
During the quarter ended March 31, 2008, we incurred $188,000 of interest expense, compared to $55,000 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.
Net Loss
During the quarter ended March 31, 2008, our net loss was $413,000, as compared to a net loss of $588,000 in the same quarter last year. This decrease in our net loss was primarily related to the factors discussed above, including our increased net sales, increased gross profits, offset by increased operational expenses and investments relating primarily to the establishment and increased sales of our proprietary line of verykool® products.
Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources
We generally use cash from our sales of products, lines of credit (bank and vendor) and sale of securities to provide capital needed to support our business.
Cash Used in Operating Activities
At March 31, 2008, we had $2.9 million in cash, a decrease of $17.9 million from December 31, 2007. During the three months ended March 31, 2008, we used cash and continued to leverage our bank and vendor lines of credit to fund our growth. The net cash used by operating activities was $17.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008, which resulted primarily from increased accounts receivable and decreased accounts payable, which were partially offset by a decrease in our inventory levels. The $16.6 million increase in accounts receivable was primarily due to the timing of significant amounts of sales prior to the close of the first quarter of 2008. Inventory decreased by $5.2 million and prepaid inventory increased by $2.9 million, resulting in a net decrease of $2.3 million in inventory levels. This net decrease was partially attributable to the increased sales levels of the verykool® products as we continued to expand the geographic countries and sales of these products. Accounts payable at March 31, 2008 decreased $4.4 million, compared to December 31, 2007, primarily due to purchases from vendors in excess of the usual credit terms we have been provided. In addition, accrued expenses increased $1.7 million, due to timing of payments during the three months ended March 31, 2008.
17
Days of Sales Outstanding
Days of sales outstanding (the average number of days it takes to collect revenue after a sale is made) at March 31, 2008 were 69 days, compared with 61 days at December 31, 2007. This increase was due to a few customers making payments shortly after the close of the first quarter of 2008, as more than 53% of our accounts receivable at March 31, 2008 were collected during the month of April. 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 the regions we primarily operate, Central and South America. In an effort to obtain new customers and penetrate new markets, we sometimes offer terms beyond our normal terms.
Cash Used in Investing Activities
The net cash used in investing activities was $5,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008, compared to net cash used of $662,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007. This use of cash is primarily the result of our investment in equipment related to geographic expansion, tooling and molds for our proprietary verykool® products.
Net Cash Provided from Financing Activities
The net cash used in financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2008 of $266,000 was primarily the result of payments on our bank line of credit, partially offset by approximately $22,000 from the exercise of employee stock options.
Working Capital
Our net working capital at March 31, 2008 was $32.9 million, compared with $33.4 million at December 31, 2007. This decrease was primarily due to decreases in accounts payable and amounts drawn on our line of credit, for the three months ended March 31, 2008.
Borrowings
During the first quarter of 2008 we had 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 million. As of March 31, 2008, the majority of our debt was based on foreign-insured accounts receivable.
Interest was payable on a monthly basis (i) at Wells Fargos prime rate minus 0.25% (5.25% at March 31, 2008) or (ii) at the one-month LIBOR plus 1.50% (3.25% at March 31, 2008). The interest rate was floating at Wells Fargos prime rate or was at LIBOR plus 1.5% if the debt was a fixed amount drawn upon. The line of credit was collateralized by substantially all of our assets, and was to expire October 1, 2008. In addition to reporting and other non-financial covenants, the line of credit contains certain financial covenants which required us to maintain a tangible net worth of not less than $30 million 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. At March 31, 2008, the Company did not meet all of these financial covenants. The Company received a waiver from Wells Fargo relating to default rights Wells Fargo may have due to the Company failing to meet certain of these financial covenants at March 31, 2008. This line of credit was terminated in April and replaced as described below.
On April 30, 2008, the Company entered into a Loan, Security and Bulk Purchase Agreement and a Letter of Credit and Security Agreement (collectively, the Agreement) with Wells Fargo Century, Inc. (Lender), replacing its existing asset-based secured credit facility with Wells Fargo HSBC Trade Bank, N.A. Pursuant to the Agreement, Lender may advance up to $45,000,000 to the Company based on the expected collections of eligible receivables as well as value of the Companys eligible inventory determined in accordance with the Agreement. The outstanding advances may not exceed the lesser of $45,000,000 or the sum of the value of the eligible receivables and eligible inventory (times their respective advance rates as set forth in the agreement). The credit facility has a two-year term ending April 2010 and is secured by all assets of the Company. The interest rate for each borrowing under the credit facility will be, at the option of the Company, either the Wells Fargo Bank N.A. prime rate minus 0.50% or the LIBOR rate plus 2.00%.
18
We have no other notes payable.
At March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the amounts drawn against the line of credit were $26.5 million and $26.8 million, 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 March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, advances were at 88% and 96% of the available borrowing base.
Critical Accounting Policies
We believe the following critical accounting policies are important to the presentation of our financial condition and operating results, and require managements judgments to make assumptions and estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain.
Revenue Recognition and Allowance for Returns
Revenues for wireless handset and accessory sales are recognized when (i) shipment of the products to customers has occurred and title has passed, (ii) when collection of the outstanding receivables is probable and (iii) the final price of the products is determined. Sales are recorded net of discounts, rebates, cooperative arrangements (marketing, training and promotional funds), returns, and allowances. Consideration is given on select sales for cooperative arrangements related to market development, training and special promotions, usually agreed upon in advance. The amount given is generally in the form of a credit memo, which is applied as a reduction of the sale price and such amount is recorded as a current liability. Expenditures made pursuant to the agreed upon activity reduce this liability. To the extent that we incur costs in excess of the established cooperative fund, we recognize that amount as a selling or marketing expense. As part of the sales process, we may perform certain value added services such as programming, software loading and quality assurance testing. These value added services are considered an ancillary component of the sales process and amounts attributable to these processes are included in the unit cost to the customer. Furthermore, these value added services are related to services prior to the shipment of the products, and no value added services are provided after delivery of the products. We recognize a reserve against the related receivables estimates for product returns based on historical experience and other judgmental factors. We evaluate these estimates on an on-going basis and adjust the estimates each period based on actual product return activity. We recognize freight costs billed to our customers in revenue and actual freight costs incurred as a component of cost of sale.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
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.
19
Interest Rate
We are exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates on our outstanding revolving line of credit. At March 31, 2008, we had $26.5 million outstanding, which could be affected by changes in short-term interest rates. Under our new borrowing facility we entered into in April 2008, the interest rate for funds borrowed is (i) Wells Fargos prime rate minus 0.50% (5.25% at March 31, 2008) or LIBOR plus 2.00% (2.70% at March 31, 2008). For every 1% increase in Wells Fargos prime rate or one-month LIBOR, our interest expense increases by $265,000 annually assuming $26.5 million remained outstanding for the entire year.
The above sensitivity analysis for interest-rate risk excludes accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities because of the short-term maturity of such instruments. The analysis does not consider the effect interest-rate movement may have on other variables relating to our business, including changes in sales volumes that could be indirectly attributed to changes in interest rates. The actions that we would take in response to such a change are also not considered. If it were possible to quantify this impact, the results could differ from the sensitivity effects shown above.
Market Risk
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 three months ended March 31, 2008. Please see Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Operations.
Item 4T. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls
Our management has evaluated, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act, as amended (the Exchange Act). Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that (i) information required to be disclosed by us is accumulated and communicated to our management as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and (ii) information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commissions rules and forms.
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 March 31, 2008, 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.
20
Securities Class Actions
In the securities class action, captioned In Re: InfoSonics Corporation Securities Litigation, Lead Case No. 06 CV 1231, now pending before Judge Sammartino in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California, Plaintiffs filed a second amended consolidated complaint on September 10, 2007 against the Company and certain of its officers and directors. The second amended 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 announcement of the Companys restatement of first quarter 2006 earnings and in connection with 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.
On October 1, 2007, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss the second amended consolidated complaint. On April 28, 2008, the Court issued an order granting in part and denying in part defendants motion to dismiss the second consolidated amended class action complaint. Specifically, the Court dismissed without prejudice plaintiffs claims based on defendants restatement of first quarter 2006 earnings and dismissed without prejudice all claims against defendant Althoff. The Court denied the motion to dismiss claims against defendant Klausner based on the February 6, 2006 press release. Plaintiffs may file a third amended class action complaint on or before May 26, 2008. Defendants responsive pleading is due June 16, 2008. 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, now pending before Judge Sammartino 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. On September 4, 2007, the Court granted defendants motion to dismiss for failure to make a demand on the board, and also granted with prejudice the motion to dismiss the Sarbanes-Oxley claim. The Court denied the other grounds for dismissal. On March 4, 2008, the Court entered an order continuing the deadline for plaintiffs to file an amended complaint to June 3, 2008. At this time, discovery on the merits has not begun and no trial date has been set by the Court.
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 March 31, 2008, we did not have any significant litigation outstanding.
In addition to the risk factors included below and other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I. Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007, which factors and information could materially affect our business, financial condition or operating results. The risk factors and uncertainties described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and this report are not the only risks and uncertainties facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially affect our business, financial condition or operating results. Except as set forth below, there have been no material changes to the risk factors included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.
21
We have and 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 United States rural service area market, which has caused extreme price competition and reduced our number of customers and potential customers. Future consolidations have and could further erode our current and 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. For example, in 2007, consolidation in the regional United States carriers had an adverse impact on our existing and potential customer base, which has negatively impacted current and future sales in the United States.
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 March 31, 2008, two suppliers accounted for 66% and 20%, 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.
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 March 31, 2008 represented 28%, 17%, 13% and 11% 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 99% of our revenues during the three months ended March 31, 2008, 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 a substantial amount of our products into a number of territories and countries other than the United States exposes us to, among other things, increased credit risks, customs duties, import quotas and other trade restrictions, potentially greater and more unpredictable inflationary and currency pressures, and shipping delays. Changes may occur in social, political, regulatory and economic conditions or in laws and policies governing foreign trade and investment in the territories and countries where we currently distribute products. United States laws and regulations relating to investment and trade in foreign countries could also change to our detriment. Any of these factors could have material adverse effects on our business and operations. Although we purchase and sell products and services in U.S. dollars and do not engage in exchange swaps, futures or options contracts or other hedging techniques, fluctuations in currency exchange rates could reduce demand for products sold in U.S. dollars. We cannot predict the effect that future exchange rate fluctuations will have on our operating results or financial position. We may in the future engage in currency hedging transactions, which could result in our incurring significant additional financial risks, including expenses and losses.
22
We have outstanding indebtedness, which is secured by substantially all our assets and could prevent us from borrowing additional funds, if needed.
As of April 30, 2008, we had outstanding debt in the amount of $24.8 million under a bank credit facility. In April 2008, we entered into a Loan, Security and Bulk Purchase Agreement and a Letter of Credit and Security Agreement with Wells Fargo Century, Inc. ("Lender"), replacing our existing asset-based secured credit facility with Wells Fargo HSBC Trade Bank, N.A. Under the new credit facility, Wells Fargo Century, Inc. may advance us up to $45,000,000 based on the expected collections of eligible receivables as well as the value of our eligible inventory as determined in accordance with the terms of the facility. Any significant decrease in our level of eligible accounts receivable or inventory will reduce our ability to borrow additional funds under the new credit facility and may affect our ability to adequately finance our operations and expansion strategies. Further, if we violate our loan covenants, default on our obligations or become subject to a change of control, our indebtedness would become immediately due and payable. In addition, the terms of our new credit facility restrict us from incurring additional indebtedness, which could limit our ability to expand our operations. Some of our loan covenants subject us to, among other things and limits on our ability to sell certain assets and make certain payments, including, but not limited to, dividends, repurchases of common stock and other payments outside the normal course of business, as well as prohibitions on merging or consolidating with another corporation or selling all or substantially all of our assets. As of April 30, 2008, the Company was in compliance with the covenants of the new credit facility. If any of these adverse events occur, our business financial condition or operating results could be negatively affected.
