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, 2012 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The Company’s consolidated financial statements include assets, liabilities and operating results of its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

In the opinion of management, these unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments considered necessary to fairly present the Company’s results of operations, financial position and cash flows as of June 30, 2013 and for all periods presented. The results reported in these consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results, financial condition or cash flows that may be expected for the full fiscal year of 2013 or for any future period.

NOTE 2. Stock-Based Compensation

The Company has two equity incentive plans: the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan (“2006 Plan”) and the 2003 Stock Option Plan (“2003 Plan”). Each of the plans was approved by our stockholders. As of June 30, 2013, options to purchase 631,000 shares and 12,000 shares were outstanding under the 2006 Plan and the 2003 Plan, respectively, and a total of 717,000 shares are available for grant under the 2006 Plan. There are no options available for grant under the 2003 Plan.

The Company’s stock options vest on an annual or a monthly basis. The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award, which is generally the option vesting term. Such amount may change as a result of additional grants, forfeitures, modifications in assumptions and other factors. Income tax effects of share-based payments are recognized in the financial statements for those awards which will normally result in tax deductions under existing tax law. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, we recorded an expense of $25,000 and $52,000, respectively, related to options previously granted. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, we recorded an expense of $27,000 and $57,000, respectively, related to options previously granted. Under current U.S. federal tax law, we receive a compensation expense deduction related to non-qualified stock options only when those options are exercised and vested shares are received. Accordingly, the financial statement recognition of compensation expense for non-qualified stock options creates a deductible temporary difference that results in a deferred tax asset and a corresponding deferred tax benefit in our consolidated statements of operations.

During the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company did not grant any stock options. During the six months ended June 30, 2012, the Company granted a stock option on 10,000 shares. The fair value of the option grant was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions: risk-free interest rate of 0.91% based on the U.S. Treasury yields in effect at the time of grant; expected dividend yields of 0% as the Company has not, and does not intend to, declare dividends; and an expected life of 4 years based upon the historical life of options. The expected volatility used in the calculation was 109% based on the Company’s historical stock price fluctuations for a period matching the expected life of the options. As of June 30, 2013, there was $15,000 of total unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested stock options. That expense is expected to be recognized over the remaining weighted-average period of 0.21 years.

During the quarter ended June 30, 2010, the Company established a wholly owned subsidiary in Hong Kong to serve as the base for the Company’s sales and marketing efforts of its proprietary line of verykool® products in Asia-Pacific. It also established a wholly owned subsidiary of the Hong Kong entity in China for the purpose of designing and developing verykool® products. The Company funded the combined operations of these entities with $1.0 million and agreed to invest up to $1.0 million in additional funding as needed. In order to provide incentives to the China development team, the Company granted a warrant exercisable for 38% of the equity ownership of the Hong Kong subsidiary to a management company for the benefit of the China employees. The total exercise price of the warrant was $1.00, with vesting to occur one-third upon the first anniversary of the warrant and the remaining two-thirds to vest on a monthly basis over the succeeding 24 months. The warrant had a 6-year life, but was not exercisable until May 5, 2013, the third anniversary of its issuance. However, on April 24, 2013, the memorandum of understanding underlying the warrant was terminated as a consequence of the departure of key management members, which resulted in immediate cancellation of the unexercised warrant.

The Company evaluated the warrant on its Hong Kong subsidiary in accordance with ASC 718-50 and concluded that because the warrants were issued to the management company for allocation at its discretion, the proper treatment of the warrants was as specified in ASC 505-50 as equity-based payments to non-employees in exchange for services. The Company also concluded that the estimated fair value of the warrant at the date of grant was $365,000. The Company recorded the expense for this warrant based upon its estimated fair value on a straight-line basis over the three year performance period. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, we recorded an expense of $10,000 and $40,000, respectively, related to this warrant. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, we recorded an expense of $30,000 and $60,000, respectively, related to this warrant. Because the warrant was fully amortized and cancelled, there will be no further amortization expense in future periods.

The Company’s stock-based compensation is classified in the same expense line items as cash compensation. Information about stock-based compensation included in the unaudited results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 is as follows (in thousands):

NOTE 3. Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is computed similarly to basic earnings per share, except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential additional common shares that were dilutive had been issued. Common share equivalents are excluded from the computation if their effect is anti-dilutive. The Company’s common share equivalents consist of stock options.

Common shares from the potential exercise of certain options have been excluded from the computation of earnings (loss) per share because their exercise prices are greater than the Company’s average stock price for the period. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, the number of shares excluded was 643,000 and 506,000, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, the number of shares excluded was 37,000 and 106,000, respectively. In addition, because their effect would have been anti-dilutive, common shares from exercise of in-the-money options for the six months ended June 30, 2013 of 137,000, and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 of 606,000 and 537,000, respectively, have also been excluded from the computation of net loss per share. There were no in-the-money options for the three months ended June 30, 2013.

NOTE 4. Income Taxes

The Company made a comprehensive review of its portfolio of uncertain tax positions in accordance with applicable standards of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). In this regard, an uncertain tax position represents the Company’s expected treatment of a tax position taken in a filed tax return, or planned to be taken in a future tax return, that has not been reflected in measuring income tax expense for financial reporting purposes. As a result of this review, the Company concluded that at this time there are no uncertain tax positions, and there has been no cumulative effect on retained earnings.

The Company is subject to U.S. federal income tax as well as income tax in multiple states and foreign jurisdictions. For all major taxing jurisdictions, the tax years 2004 through 2012 remain open to examination or re-examination. As of June 30, 2013, the Company does not expect any material changes to unrecognized tax positions within the next twelve months.

The Company recognizes the amount of taxes payable or refundable for the current year and deferred tax liabilities and assets for the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in an entity’s financial statements or tax returns. Judgment is required in assessing the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in our financial statements or tax returns. Fluctuations in the actual outcome of these future tax consequences could materially impact the Company’s financial position or results of operations. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, deferred income tax assets and the corresponding valuation allowance decreased by $245,000 and $179,000, respectively.

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 records a reserve against inventories to account for obsolescence and possible price concessions required to liquidate inventories below cost. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, the inventory reserve balance decreased by $104,000. As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the inventory reserve was $174,000 and $278,000, respectively. From time to time, the Company has prepaid inventory as a result of payments for products which have not been received by the balance sheet date. As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the prepaid inventory balances were $2,329,000 and $1,061,000, respectively, which are included in prepaid assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

NOTE 8. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

On December 9, 2011, the Company entered into a Foreign Exchange Trading Master Agreement and a Pledge Agreement (collectively, the “Agreement”) with HSBC Bank USA (the “Bank”). Under the terms of the Agreement, the Company and the Bank could enter into spot and/or forward foreign exchange transactions and/or foreign currency options. The Company used these derivative instruments to manage the foreign currency risk associated with its trade accounts receivable that are denominated in foreign currencies, primarily the Mexican peso. In order to secure its obligations under the Agreement, the Company deposited $1 million into a restricted account. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company elected to terminate the Agreement and the $1 million of restricted funds were returned to its general unrestricted accounts.

NOTE 9. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Adopted:

In January 2013, the FASB issued guidance clarifying the scope of disclosures about offsetting assets and liabilities. The guidance limits the scope of balance sheet offsetting disclosures to derivative instruments, including bifurcated embedded derivatives, repurchase agreements and securities lending transactions to the extent that they are (1) offset in the financial statements or (2) subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement of similar agreement. The disclosure requirements are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. Entities are required to provide the new disclosures retrospectively for all comparative periods. The Company adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2013. The adoption of this new guidance did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In February 2013, the FASB issued new accounting guidance on the reporting of amounts reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income. The guidance is intended to improve the reporting of reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income of various components. This includes requiring an entity to present either parenthetically on the face of the financial statements or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified from each component of accumulated other comprehensive income and the income statement line items affected by the reclassification. The new guidance is effective for public entities for annual periods, and interim periods within those periods, beginning after December 15, 2012. The Company adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2013, which adoption did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In March 2013, the FASB issued an update on a parent’s accounting for the cumulative translation adjustment, which we refer to as CTA, upon derecognition of certain subsidiaries or group of assets within a foreign entity or of an investment in a foreign entity. The objective of the update is to resolve the diversity in practice about the appropriate guidance to apply to the release of CTA into net income when a parent either sells a part or all of its investment in a foreign entity or no longer holds a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or a business within a foreign entity. The update provides that the entire amount of the CTA associated with the foreign entity would be released when there has been a sale of a subsidiary or group of net assets within a foreign entity and the sale represents the substantially complete liquidation of the investment in the foreign entity. This update is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2013. The update should be applied prospectively from the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. We do not expect the adoption of this new guidance to have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In July 2013, the FASB issued an amendment of the income tax reporting rules intended to clarify that an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, should be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward if such settlement is required or expected in the event the uncertain tax benefit is disallowed. In situations where a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward is not available at the reporting date under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction or the tax law of the jurisdiction does not require, and the entity does not intend to use the deferred tax asset for such purpose, the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a liability and should not be netted with the deferred tax asset. The amendment is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments should be applied prospectively to all unrecognized tax benefits that exist at the effective date. Retrospective application is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact that adoption will have on the determination or reporting of our financial results.

NOTE 11. Commitments and Contingencies

Viaimport Litigation

On May 22, 2012, a lawsuit was filed against the Company in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic (Case No. FP-12-461) by Viaimport, SRL, a former customer of the Company, and served on the Company on July 12, 2012. The complaint alleges breach of contract and seeks U.S. $1 million in damages. The Company believes that this case is without merit and intends to vigorously defend itself. In addition, on August 31, 2012, the Company filed a lawsuit against Viaimport and its principal, Omar Hassan, in the Circuit Court of the Eleventh Judicial Circuit in and for Miami-Dade County Florida (Case No. 12-34647CA32) for non-payment of purchase obligations aggregating $288,559 and other damages. On March 26, 2013, the defendants filed a Motion to Dismiss the case, but such motion was denied in its entirety by the Court on July 17, 2013. Although both lawsuits are in their early stages, at this time we do not believe it will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition. However, the ultimate legal and financial liability with respect to these matters cannot be estimated with certainty and the Dominican Republic case is complicated by its foreign venue.

Steelhead Litigation

On January 14, 2013, Steelhead Licensing LLC (“Steelhead”) filed a patent infringement lawsuit against the Company in the U.S. District Court for the District of Puerto Rico, alleging that certain of our products infringe claims of U.S. Patent No. 5,491,834. Steelhead was seeking injunctive relief as well as the recovery of unspecified monetary damages. On May 24, 2013 we entered into a Settlement and Patent License Agreement with Steelhead whereby we denied any wrongdoing and received a fully paid up and perpetual license to Steelhead patents in exchange for a one-time cash payment of an immaterial amount. The lawsuit has now been dismissed with prejudice.

Wyncomm Litigation

On April 12, 2013, Wyncomm LLC (“Wyncomm”) filed a patent infringement lawsuit against the Company in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware, alleging that certain of our products infringe claims of U.S. Patent No. 5,506,866. Wyncomm is seeking recovery of unspecified monetary damages. We do not believe we infringe the Wyncomm patent and intend to defend ourselves vigorously. Due to the inherent uncertainty of litigation, we cannot identify probable or estimable damages related to the lawsuit at this time.

The Company 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 the filing date of this report, the Company did not have any significant litigation outstanding.

NOTE 12. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The FASB accounting guidance requires disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Fair value as defined by the guidance is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value estimates of financial instruments are not necessarily indicative of the amounts we might pay or receive in actual market transactions. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts. Effective April 1, 2008 the Company adopted and follows ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”) which established a fair value hierarchy that requires the Company to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. A financial instruments categorization within the hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The Company’s cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash are measured at fair value in the Company’s consolidated financial statements and are valued using unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 inputs under ASC 820). The carrying amount of our accounts receivable, other accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, accounts payable and accrued expenses reported in the consolidated balance sheets approximates fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments.

At June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, we did not have any material applicable nonrecurring measurements of nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities.

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

Forward-Looking Statements, Safe Harbor Statement 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, 2012 (including our 2012 audited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto and other information). Our discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations are based upon, among other things, our unaudited consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to, among other things, make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosures of contingent liabilities as of the date of our most recent balance sheet, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. We review our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. 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 in “Critical Accounting Policies” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. All references to results of operations in this discussion generally are to results from continuing operations, unless otherwise noted.

These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this release and we undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements to reflect new information, events or circumstances after the date of this release. We have instituted in the past, and continue to institute, changes to our strategies, operations and processes to address risks and uncertainties and to mitigate their impacts on our results of operations and financial condition. However, no assurances can be given that we will be successful in these efforts. For a further discussion of significant risk factors to consider, see “Risk Factors” below in this report and “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K. In addition, other risks or uncertainties may be detailed from time to time in our future SEC filings.

Overview

We are a provider of wireless handsets and accessories to carriers, distributors and original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”) in Latin America, Asia Pacific, Europe, Africa and the United States. We design, develop, source and sell our proprietary line of products under the verykool® brand and on a private label basis to certain customers (collectively referred to as our “verykool® products”). We first introduced our verykool® brand in 2006 and verykool® products include entry-level, mid-tier and high-end products.

For the five years prior to March 2012, our business had two primary components: (1) legacy distribution of wireless handsets supplied by major manufacturers, primarily Samsung, and (2) provision of our own proprietary verykool® products that we originally sourced from independent design houses and original design manufacturers (“ODMs”). Our revenue peaked in 2006 when we recorded approximately $241 million of net sales. In 2009, more than 95% of our net sales of approximately $231 million were derived from distribution sales of Samsung product to carriers in Argentina. In late 2009, however, a stiff import tariff on certain electronic devices, including wireless handsets, was enacted in Argentina. The tariff had a significant negative impact on our sales beginning in the first quarter of 2010, and ultimately resulted in a decrease of 69% of our sales volume in 2010 compared to 2009. Then, in February 2011, Argentina enacted a further import regulation effective March 6, 2011 which signaled the closing stage of our distribution business. Our distribution agreement with Samsung expired March 31, 2012. Since April 1, 2012, our business has and is expected to continue to be centered on our verykool® product line.

The verykool® brand is now our flagship product. In order to better control the roadmap for this product line, in April 2010 we established an in-house design center in China where we design a number of phones in our product portfolio. We continue to source many of our phones from independent design houses. We contract with electronic manufacturing services (“EMS”) providers to manufacture all of our verykool® products, and maintain personnel in China to oversee production and conduct quality control.

Industry and Market Trends and Risks

The wireless business is extremely competitive. The industry is characterized by rapid technological development driven by faster and more capable chipsets, innovative software features and applications and faster networks provided by wireless carriers. In this environment, it is extremely difficult to differentiate our products, and price pressure is constant.

Over the past several years, our business has been concentrated in countries in Latin America. In addition, during that time, the majority of our revenue was derived from distribution sales of Samsung products in Argentina, typically at very thin margins. As mentioned above, in late 2009, Argentina enacted a significant import tariff on certain electronic devices, including wireless handsets, that threatened our distribution business and largely eroded our sales during 2010 and 2011.

In late 2010, we expanded sales of our verykool® products into the Asia Pacific market with initial sales to customers in both China and India, and in 2011, we added customers in Western Europe, Russia, Singapore, Africa and certain other Southeast Asian countries. In 2012, we added customers in the U.S. domestic market. The economic profile of the consumer markets in both Latin America and Asia Pacific are similar in that they are extremely price sensitive. As a consequence, unlike the U.S. domestic market that is dominated by large providers, these markets are more open to smaller providers like us who are able to supply more competitively priced handsets with similar features. We expect this situation to continue for the foreseeable future. The Latin America and Asia Pacific markets are also more attractive to us because the current level of cellular customer penetration is significantly lower in most countries in these regions in comparison to North America and Western Europe.

Three months ended June 30, 2013 compared with three months ended June 30, 2012

Net Sales

For the three months ended June 30, 2013, our net sales amounted to $8.3 million, an increase of $231,000, or 3%, from $8.1 million in the same period last year. We experienced significant growth in our business in Central America where net sales increased by $1.5 million, or 64%, compared to sales in the second quarter of 2012. Net sales to South American customers increased by $156,000, or 8%, and sales to U.S. distributors rose by $347,000. Net sales to U.S. distributors were nominal in the second quarter of 2012, the first quarter of our re-entry into the U.S. market. Partially offsetting these gains was a decrease of $1.0 million in net sales of private label products to customers in EMEA and APAC as extreme competition and falling margins in the private label market resulted in only nominal sales in the current quarter. Net sales to non-carrier Latin American distributors were strong in the second quarter of 2012, and declined by $548,000, or 26%, during the second quarter of 2013. In terms of unit shipments, the second quarter of 2013 represented the third consecutive record quarter with unit volume rising 16% above the unit volume in the first quarter of 2013 and 72% above the unit volume in the second quarter of 2012. However, our average unit selling price declined by 8% compared to the first quarter of 2013 and declined by 39% compared to the second quarter of 2012. The decline in average selling price is the result of a shift in product mix to a higher volume of lower-priced phones to our carrier customers in Latin America.

Gross Profit and Gross Margin

For the three months ended June 30, 2013, our gross profit amounted to $1,730,000, a decrease of $325,000, or 16%, from $2,055,000 in the second quarter of 2012. Our gross profit margin for the second quarter of 2013 was 20.7%, significantly lower than the 25.3% margin in the second quarter of 2012. The disproportionately better margin in 2012 was primarily the result of higher margins generated on private label sales to customers in EMEA and APAC. As noted above, private label sales in the second quarter of 2013 were nominal.

Operating Expenses

For the three months ended June 30, 2013, total operating expenses amounted to $2,299,000, a decrease of $71,000, or 3%, compared to $2,370,000 in the same period last year. Expenses in the second quarter of 2013 included approximately $192,000 associated with the June consolidation of our R&D team in Shenzhen, China and the associated reduction of our Beijing workforce by 17 employees as part of our efforts to reduce operating expenses and improve operational efficiency. This non-recurring charge included approximately $134,000 in severance paid to terminated employees as well as legal fees and expenses related to abandonment of one incomplete development project. We estimate that these actions will result in annual savings of approximately $500,000. Operating expenses in the second quarter of 2013 also included a higher level of legal fees, product certification, compensation and other administrative expenses compared to the prior year period. Offsetting these increases was a reduction of bad debt expense of approximately $235,000 as the second quarter of 2012 included a large reserve against the receivable of a former distribution customer.

Other Income (Expense)

For the three months ended June 30, 2013, other income of $535,000 included $527,000 related to the legal defeasance of a previously recorded supplier obligation that had been included in accrued expenses on our balance sheet. Interest income on a customer installment obligation in the second quarter of 2013 amounted to $5,000, while the 2012 second quarter included $50,000 of interest income on a financed customer receivable.

Provision for Income Taxes

Our provision for income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2013 amounted to $18,000 relating to a foreign dividend received from one of our wholly owned subsidiaries. Because of our prior operating losses and lack of carry-back ability, we had no additional provision for income taxes during the second quarter of 2013 and we likewise had no tax provision for the second quarter of 2012.

Six months ended June 30, 2013 compared with six months ended June 30, 2012

Net Sales

For the six months ended June 30, 2012, our net sales amounted to $16.2 million, a decrease of $4.3 million, or 21%, from $20.5 million in the same period last year. The decrease is primarily attributable to reductions in the following areas: $4.4 million in private label sales as a consequence of extreme competition and falling margins in the private label market, $2.7 million in distribution sales incident to the termination of our Samsung agreement on March 31, 2012, $1.2 million to customers in Mexico and $0.8 million to non-carrier Latin American distributors. Partially offsetting these declines were increases in the following areas: $4.3 million (93%) to customers in Central America (primarily Guatemala) and $0.5 million to U.S. distributors. In terms of total unit shipments of verykool® and private label products, we shipped 52% more handsets during the first half of 2013 than in the prior year’s first half. The average unit selling price during the first half of 2013 declined by 39% compared to the first half of 2012 as a result of a shift in product mix to a higher volume of lower-priced phones to our carrier customers in Latin America.

Gross Profit and Gross Margin

For the six months ended June 30, 2013, our gross profit amounted to $3.1 million, a decrease of $1.2 million, or 28%, from $4.3 million in the same period of the prior year. The decrease reflects reduced sales during the period, in particular the lower level of private label sales which were at disproportionately high gross margins than our branded business. Our gross profit margin for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was 19.3% of net sales, an 8.6% decrease from the gross margin of 21.1% in the same period last year.

Operating Expenses

Total operating expenses for both the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 amounted to approximately $4.4 million. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $84,000 higher in the first half of 2013 compared to 2012 reflecting increased legal fees, wages and product certification expenses, partially offset by reduced bad debt expense. R&D expenses were $98,000 lower in the first half of 2013 compared to 2012. In order to reduce operating expenses and improve operational efficiency, we effected two reductions-in-force during the first half of 2013: one in the first quarter and another in the second quarter in which we consolidated the development team into our Shenzhen, China office. A combined total of 37 employees were affected. The reduced level of R&D expenses reflects the reduction in payroll costs compared to the prior year, partially offset by one-time expenses incident to the second action. The first action was formulated during December 2012 and the costs associated with it were recorded in the fourth quarter of 2012. Costs associated with the second action in June 2013 amount to approximately $192,000, including approximately $134,000 in severance paid to terminated employees as well as legal fees and abandonment of one incomplete development project.

Other Income (Expense)

For the six months ended June 30, 2013, other income of $586,000 consisted principally of $527,000 related to the legal defeasance of a previously recorded supplier obligation that had been included in accrued expenses on our balance sheet and $55,000 related to a forfeited customer deposit. Interest income on a customer installment obligation amounted to $11,000. For the six months ended June 30, 2012, other expense of $65,000 included $48,000 of foreign exchange losses and a $17,000 loss on disposal of fixed assets. Interest income of $50,000 related to financed customer receivables.

Provision for Income Taxes

With the exception of an $18,000 tax provision recorded in the second quarter of 2013 relating to a foreign dividend received from one of our wholly owned subsidiaries, our tax provisions for the six month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 were nominal and consisted only of state and local taxes as a consequence of our operating losses and lack of carry back ability.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Historically, our primary sources of liquidity have been cash generated from operations, lines of credit (bank and vendor) and, from time to time, the sale and exercise of securities to provide capital needed to support our business. However, we have incurred losses for the last six fiscal years and negative cash flow from operations in three of those years. In the six months ended June 30, 2013, we generated $262,000 in cash from operations. We generated $2.6 million in cash from accounts receivable reductions and $1.1 million from inventory reductions. Uses of cash consisted of $1.7 million to reduce accounts payable and accruals, $1.2 million to increase prepaid assets and $0.5 million to fund the net loss for the period, excluding non-cash items. As of June 30, 2013, our cash balance was $6.4 million, we had net working capital of $15.7 million and we had no outstanding debt. Although we do not currently have a bank credit line, we believe that our current cash resources and working capital are sufficient to fund our operations for the next twelve months.

Critical Accounting Policies

There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates affecting the application of those accounting policies since our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

 

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 risk. 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 Risk

At June 30, 2013, we had no outstanding interest bearing debt and no rate-sensitive investments.

Foreign Exchange and Other Risks

At June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, foreign currency cash accounts in Mexican pesos amounted to $146,000 and $105,000, respectively. Also at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, accounts receivable denominated in Mexican pesos amounted to $72,000 and $271,000, respectively. Prior to December 2011, all of our sales transactions were denominated in U.S. dollars. Beginning in December 2011, we began to price sales in foreign currencies only to certain customers in Mexico. Product costs and the majority of our operating expenses are also denominated in U.S. dollars, but payroll and other costs of our Beijing development team are denominated in Chinese Yuan Renminbi.

Foreign currency risks are associated with our cash, receivables, payroll and payables denominated in foreign currencies. Fluctuations in exchange rates will result in foreign exchange gains and losses on these foreign currency assets and liabilities, which are included in other income (expense) in our consolidated statements of operations. For the six month period ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, foreign exchange losses amounted to $1,000 and $48,000, respectively.

As a result of our international sales, our future operating results could also be adversely affected by a variety of factors, including changes in specific countries’ political, economic or regulatory conditions and trade protection measures, particularly in China.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls

An evaluation was performed pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) of the Exchange Act under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the President and Chief Executive Officer and the Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. These disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that this information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on the evaluation, the President and Chief Executive Officer and the Vice President and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during our first quarter ended June 30, 2013, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

Viamport Litigation

On May 22, 2012, a lawsuit was filed against the Company in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic (Case No. FP-12-461) by Viaimport, SRL, a former customer of the Company, and served on the Company on July 12, 2012. The complaint alleges breach of contract and seeks U.S. $1 million in damages. The Company believes that this case is without merit and intends to vigorously defend itself. In addition, on August 31, 2012, the Company filed a lawsuit against Viaimport and its principal, Omar Hassan, in the Circuit Court of the Eleventh Judicial Circuit in and for Miami-Dade County Florida (Case No. 12-34647CA32) for non-payment of purchase obligations aggregating $288,559 and other damages. On March 26, 2013, the defendants filed a Motion to Dismiss the case, but such motion was denied in its entirety by the Court on July 17, 2013. Although both lawsuits are in their early stages, at this time we do not believe it will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition. However, the ultimate legal and financial liability with respect to these matters cannot be estimated with certainty and the Dominican Republic case is complicated by its foreign venue.

Steelhead Litigation

On January 14, 2013, Steelhead Licensing LLC (“Steelhead”) filed a patent infringement lawsuit against the Company in the U.S. District Court for the District of Puerto Rico, alleging that certain of our products infringe claims of U.S. Patent No. 5,491,834. Steelhead was seeking injunctive relief as well as the recovery of unspecified monetary damages. On May 24, 2013 we entered into a Settlement and Patent License Agreement with Steelhead whereby we denied any wrongdoing and received a fully paid up and perpetual license to Steelhead patents in exchange for a one-time cash payment of an immaterial amount. The lawsuit has now been dismissed with prejudice.

Wyncomm Litigation

On April 12, 2013, Wyncomm LLC (“Wyncomm”) filed a patent infringement lawsuit against the Company in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware, alleging that certain of our products infringe claims of U.S. Patent No. 5,506,866. Wyncomm is seeking recovery of unspecified monetary damages. We do not believe we infringe the Wyncomm patent and intend to defend ourselves vigorously. Due to the inherent uncertainty of litigation, we cannot identify probable or estimable damages related to the lawsuit at this time.

The Company 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 the filing date of this report, the Company did not have any significant litigation outstanding.

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors

In addition to the risk factors included below and other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in “Part I. Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, which factors and information could materially affect our business, financial condition or operating results. The risk factors and uncertainties described in our last Annual Report on Form 10-K, our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and this report are not the only risks and uncertainties facing our business. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially affect our business, financial condition or operating results. Except as set forth below, there have been no material changes to the risk factors included in our last Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The loss or reduction in orders from principal customers, a reduction in the prices we are able to charge these customers or default by these customers on accounts receivable could have a negative impact upon our financial results.

Our three largest customers in the three months ended June 30, 2013 represented 22%, 17% and 12%, respectively, of our net sales during that period, and 33%, 17% and 11%, respectively, of our accounts receivable at June 30, 2013. The markets we serve and are targeting for future business are subject to significant price competition and other competitive pressures, and our current customers are not contractually obligated to purchase products from us. For these and other reasons, our customers may seek to obtain products or services from us at lower prices than we have been able to charge in the past, and they could terminate our relationship or reduce their purchases from us in favor of lower-priced alternatives. In addition, we have experienced losses of certain customers through industry or vendor consolidation, a trend that may increase in our markets and in the ordinary course of business. The further loss of any of our principal customers, the default by these customers on the amounts they owe us, 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.

We have been experiencing net losses and expect that net losses may occur for an uncertain period of time. If we operate at a loss, our business may not be financially viable.

We have reported six consecutive loss years with aggregate net losses of $22.1 million, as well as the $0.8 million loss for the six months ended June 30, 2013. As of June 30, 2013, our cash balance was $6.4 million, we had net working capital of $15.7 million and we had no outstanding debt. Given the continued economic volatility and the uncertainty of most global markets, we cannot clearly evaluate the financial viability of our business or our long-term prospects with any certainty. While our business plan includes a number of objectives to reach and maintain profitability, if we do not succeed in these objectives, our business might continue to experience losses and may not be sustainable in the future.

Risks Related To Our Common Stock

The market for our common stock is volatile and our stock price could decline.

The stock market in general, including the market for telecommunications-related stocks in particular, has been highly volatile. The market price of our common stock has fluctuated between $1.78 and $0.38 from January 1, 2012 through August 9, 2013 and is likely to remain volatile. Investors in our common stock may experience a decrease in the value of their stock, including decreases unrelated to our operating performance or prospects, resulting in a substantial loss on their investment. In addition, an active trading market for our common stock may not be sustained, which could affect the ability of our stockholders to sell their shares and could depress the market price of their shares.

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

At various times over the last several years we faced potential delisting from The NASDAQ Stock Market for failure to maintain the minimum $1.00 bid price per share requirement for continued listing. On December 10, 2012, we received a Nasdaq Staff Deficiency letter indicating that, for the prior thirty consecutive business days, the bid price for our common stock had closed below the minimum $1.00 per share requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), we were provided an initial period of 180 calendar days, or until June 10, 2013, to regain compliance. The letter stated that the Nasdaq staff would provide written notification that we had achieved compliance with Rule 5550(a)(2) if at any time before June 10, 2013, the bid price of our common stock closed at $1.00 per share or more for a minimum of ten consecutive business days.

Although the bid price of our common stock did not rise to the $1.00 per share level for the specified number of days by June 10, 2013, we maintained our compliance with the appropriate listing requirements of The NASDAQ Capital Market, with the exception of the bid price requirement. Therefore, on June 12, 2013, we received notification from The NASDAQ Stock Market that we were granted an additional 180 calendar day period, or until December 9, 2013, to regain compliance.

We intend to monitor the bid price of our common stock and consider available options if it does not trade at a level likely to result in the Company regaining compliance with NASDAQ’s minimum bid price rule by December 9, 2013. If we do not regain compliance by then, we would receive notice from the NASDAQ Staff that our common stock would be delisted. We may then appeal the Staff’s determination to delist our securities and would be required to provide a plan to regain compliance, which plan would normally include a near-term reverse stock split. However, there can be no assurance the Staff would grant our request for continued listing.

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

If our common stock were to be delisted from The NASDAQ Capital Market, trading of our common stock most likely would be conducted in the over-the-counter market on an electronic bulletin board established for unlisted securities such as OTC Pink, OTCQX, OTCQB or the OTC Bulletin Board. Such trading would reduce the market liquidity of our common stock. As a result, an investor would find it more difficult to dispose of, or obtain accurate quotations for the price of, our common stock, thereby negatively impacting the share price of our common stock.

Table of Contents

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