IMATION CORP.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Note 1 — Basis of Presentation
The interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of Imation Corp. (Imation, the Company, we, us or our) are unaudited but, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Except as otherwise disclosed herein, these adjustments consist of normal, recurring items. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of full year results. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes are presented in accordance with the requirements for Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and do not contain certain information included in our annual Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes.
The preparation of the interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses for the reporting periods. Despite our intention to establish accurate estimates and use reasonable assumptions, actual results may differ from our estimates.
The December 31, 2010 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet data was derived from the audited Consolidated Financial Statements but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP). This Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with our Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.
As a result of the wind down of our Global Data Media (GDM) business joint venture, those operations are presented in our historical Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

Note 2 — Recently Issued or Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued a revised standard intended to reduce the cost and complexity of the annual goodwill impairment test by providing entities an option to perform a “qualitative” assessment to determine whether further impairment testing is necessary. An entity has the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the current two-step test. If an entity believes, as a result of its qualitative assessment, that it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, the quantitative impairment test is required. Otherwise, no further testing is required. The revised standard is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning January 1, 2012. We do not expect the adoption of this revised standard to have an impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
In June 2011, the FASB issued amended guidance to enhance comparability between entities that report under U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and to provide a more consistent method of presenting non-owner transactions that affect an entity's equity. This guidance eliminates the option to report other comprehensive income and its components in the statement of changes in stockholders' equity and requires an entity to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement or in two separate but consecutive statements. Regardless of whether one or two statements are presented, an entity is required to show reclassification adjustments on the face of the financial statements for items that are reclassified from other comprehensive income to net income. This guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning January 1, 2012. The adoption of this guidance will only change the presentation of our Consolidated Statements of Shareholders' Equity and Comprehensive Income.
In May 2011, the FASB issued amended disclosure requirements to provide a consistent definition of fair value and ensure that the fair value measurement and disclosure requirements are similar between U.S. GAAP and IFRS. This guidance changes certain fair value measurement principles and enhances the disclosure requirements particularly for Level 3 fair value measurements. This guidance is effective for reporting periods beginning January 1, 2012. We do not expect these disclosures to have a material impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
In January 2010, the FASB issued additional disclosure requirements for assets and liabilities held at fair value. Specifically, the new guidance requires a gross presentation of activities within the Level 3 roll forward and adds a new requirement to disclose transfers in and out of Level 1 and 2 measurements. This guidance is applicable to all entities currently required to provide disclosures about recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. The effective date for these disclosures for Imation was January 1, 2010, except for the gross presentation of the Level 3 roll forward information, which was required for interim reporting periods beginning January 1, 2011. The disclosures did not have a material impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

6

In December 2010, the FASB issued additional guidance for entities with reporting units that have carrying amounts equal to zero or are negative. These entities are required to assess whether it is more likely than not that the reporting units' goodwill is impaired. If it is determined that it is more likely than not that the goodwill of one or more of its reporting units is impaired, then Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test for those reporting unit(s) should be performed. Any resulting goodwill impairment should be recorded as a cumulative-effect adjustment to beginning retained earnings in the period of adoption. Any goodwill impairments occurring after the initial adoption of the amendments should be included in earnings. The effective date for these disclosures for Imation was January 1, 2011. This guidance did not have a material impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
In December 2010, the FASB issued additional and amended interim and annual disclosure requirements for supplementary pro forma information related to business combinations. The effective date for this guidance for Imation is prospective for business combinations on or after January 1, 2011. These disclosures have not had a material impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
A variety of proposed potential accounting standards are currently under study by standard setting organizations and various regulatory agencies. Due to the tentative and preliminary nature of those proposed standards, management has not determined whether implementation of such proposed standards would be material to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Note 3 — Earnings (Loss) per Common Share
Basic earnings per share is calculated using the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed on the basis of the weighted average basic shares outstanding plus the dilutive effect of our stock-based compensation plans using the “treasury stock” method. Unvested restricted stock and treasury shares are excluded from the calculation of weighted average number of common shares outstanding because they do not participate in dividends. Once restricted stock vests, it is included in our common shares outstanding.
The following table sets forth the computation of the weighted average basic and diluted income (loss) per share:

Note 4 — Acquisitions


7

ProStor Systems, Inc.
On August 29, 2011, we acquired certain assets of ProStor Systems, Inc., including the InfiniVault(TM) tiered storage system and other related technologies. The preliminary purchase price consisted of a cash payment of $0.5 million and resulted in no goodwill.
The effects of the acquisition did not materially impact our 2011 results of operations. Therefore, pro forma disclosures are not included.
MXI Security
On June 4, 2011, we acquired substantially all of the assets of MXI Security, a leader in high-security and privacy technologies, from Memory Experts International Inc. MXI Security sells encrypted and biometric USB drives (MXI Stealth Key), encrypted and biometric hard disk drives (MXI Stealth HD), secure portable desktop solutions (Stealth Zone), and software solutions. MXI Security products contain various security features such as password authentication, encryption and remote manageability. The preliminary purchase price consisted of a cash payment of $24.5 million and the estimated fair value of future contingent consideration of $9.2 million, totaling $33.7 million.
The preliminary purchase price allocation resulted in goodwill of $21.9 million, consisting of expected strategic synergies and intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition. MXI Security is included in our existing Americas operating segment and functions as a business with discrete financial information available. Therefore, MXI Security is a separate reporting unit for the purposes of goodwill impairment testing. Goodwill will be tested for impairment annually or when there are indications that impairment might exist. This goodwill is deductible for tax purposes.
The following table illustrates our preliminary allocation of the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed:

The effects of the acquisition did not materially impact our 2011 results of operations. Therefore, pro forma disclosures are not included.
BeCompliant Corporation (doing business as Encryptx)
On February 28, 2011, we acquired substantially all of the assets of BeCompliant Corporation (doing business as Encryptx), a technology leader in encryption and security solutions for removable storage devices and removable storage media. The purchase price was $2.3 million, consisting of a cash payment of $1.0 million and the estimated fair value of future contingent consideration of $1.3 million.
The purchase price allocation resulted in goodwill of $1.6 million, consisting of expected strategic synergies and intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition. This goodwill is deductible for tax purposes. The goodwill was allocated to our existing Americas-Commercial reporting unit. Goodwill is considered impaired when its carrying amount exceeds its implied fair value. As of March 31, 2011, the carrying amount of all of our reporting units significantly exceeded their fair value and we performed an impairment test. Based on the goodwill test performed as of March 31, 2011, we determined that

8

the carrying amount of the goodwill in the Americas-Commercial reporting unit, including the assets of Encryptx, exceeded the implied fair value and, therefore, the goodwill was fully impaired. As a result, a $1.6 million goodwill impairment charge was recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2011 in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The effects of the acquisition did not materially impact our 2011 results of operations. Therefore, pro forma disclosures are not included.

2011 Manufacturing Redesign Restructuring Program
On January 13, 2011 the Board of Directors approved the 2011 manufacturing redesign restructuring program of up to $55 million to rationalize certain product lines and discontinue tape coating operations at our Weatherford, Oklahoma facility by April 2011 and subsequently close the facility. We signed a strategic agreement with TDK Corporation to jointly develop and manufacture magnetic tape technologies. Under the agreement, we are collaborating on the research and development of future tape formats in both companies' research centers in the United States and Japan, while consolidating tape coating operations to the TDK Yamanashi manufacturing facility. This program includes a total of approximately $50 million in restructuring and other charges, consisting of severance and related costs of approximately $3 million, asset impairments of approximately $31 million primarily related to the Weatherford facility, inventory write-offs of approximately $14 million and other charges of approximately $2 million.
As of June 30, 2011 the Weatherford facility met the held for sale criteria outlined in the accounting guidance for the sale of a long-lived asset. Accordingly, the book value of the building and property, $3.0 million, was transferred into other current assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet and is no longer being depreciated.
During the three months ended September 30, 2011 we recorded site clean-up expenses of $0.8 million related to this program. During the nine months ended September 30, 2011 we recorded inventory write-offs of $1.0 million and site clean-up expenses of $0.8 million related to this program. Inventory write-offs are included in cost of goods sold in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Since the inception of this program, we have recorded a total of $15.2 million of inventory write-offs, $31.2 million of asset impairment charges, $3.2 million of severance and related expenses and $0.8 million of site clean-up expenses.

2011 Corporate Strategy Restructuring Program
On January 31, 2011 the Board of Directors approved the 2011 corporate strategy restructuring program to rationalize certain product lines, increase efficiency and gain greater focus in support of our go-forward strategy. Major components of the program include charges associated with certain benefit plans, improvements to our global sourcing and distribution network, costs associated with further rationalization of our product lines and evolution of our skill sets to align with our announced strategy. This program includes a total of approximately $35 million in restructuring and other charges, consisting of severance and related expenses of approximately $14 million, charges associated with certain benefit plans of approximately $11 million, lease termination expenses of approximately $5 million and other charges of approximately $5 million.
 During the three months ended September 30, 2011 we recorded a restructuring charge of $3.5 million as part of this program, which included $2.4 million for severance and related expenses and $1.1 million for lease modification costs. These costs were included in restructuring and other on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2011 we recorded restructuring charges of $5.6 million as part of this program, which included $3.7 million for severance and related expenses, $1.5 million for lease termination and modification costs and $0.4 million of other charges. These costs were included in restructuring and other on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. In addition, we also recorded inventory write-offs of $0.5 million related to the planned rationalization of certain product lines as part of this program, which are included in cost of goods sold in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Since the inception of this program, we have recorded a total of $7.1 million of severance and related expenses, $1.5 million of lease termination and modification costs, $0.5 million of inventory write-offs, $0.4 million of other charges and $0.3 million related to a pension curtailment charge.

Other

Our Camarillo, California manufacturing facility ceased operations on December 31, 2008 and the facility, comprised of a building and property, was classified as held for sale. In an effort to increase the salability of the property, during the three months ended June 30, 2011 we demolished the building which resulted in a $7.0 million loss on disposal during the period. The land related to the facility continues to meet the criteria for held for sale accounting and, therefore, remains classified in other current assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2011 at a book value of $0.2 million. On October 7, 2011 we entered into an agreement to sell the land for $10.5 million, contingent upon the change of certain zoning requirements for the land as well as other standard contingencies. The sale is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2012 or early 2013.

We recorded acquisition and integration related costs as a result of our acquisition activities of $0.3 million and $1.5 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 within restructuring and other expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
We recorded a pension settlement loss of $0.9 million and $1.9 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively, within restructuring and other expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations as a result of the downsizing associated with our domestic restructuring activities. See Note 9 herein for further information regarding the pension settlement.

The 2011 Stock Incentive Plan was approved and adopted by our shareholders on May 4, 2011 and became effective immediately. The 2011 Stock Incentive Plan permits the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, dividend equivalents, performance awards, stock awards and other stock-based awards. The aggregate number of shares of our common stock that may be issued under all stock-based awards made under the 2011 Stock Incentive Plan is 4.5 million and the maximum number of shares that may be awarded pursuant to grants of awards other than options and stock appreciation rights is 1.1 million. The number of shares available for awards, as well as the terms of outstanding awards, is subject to adjustments as provided in the 2011 Stock Incentive Plan for stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalization and other similar events. Awards may be granted under the 2011 Stock Incentive Plan until the earlier to occur of May 3, 2021 or the date on which all shares available for awards under the 2011 Stock Incentive Plan have been purchased or acquired; provided, however, that incentive stock options may not be granted after February 10, 2021. As a result of the approval and adoption of the 2011 Stock Incentive Plan, no further shares are available for grant under the 2008 Stock Incentive Plan.
As of September 30, 2011 we had stock-based compensation awards outstanding under five plans (collectively, the Stock Plans) consisting of stock options, restricted stock and restricted stock units. As of September 30, 2011 there were 3,909,678 shares available for grant under our 2011 Stock Incentive Plan. No further shares were available for grant under any other Stock Plan.

The outstanding options are non-qualified and generally have a term of ten years. For employees, the options granted prior to May 2011 generally become exercisable and vest 25 percent per year beginning on the first anniversary of the grant date, subject to the employee’s continuing service to the Company. Grants during and after May 2011 become exercisable and vest 33 percent per year beginning on the first anniversary of the grant date, subject to the employee’s continuing service to the Company. For directors, the options generally become exercisable in full on the first anniversary of the grant date.
The weighted average grant date fair value of options that were granted for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $4.23.

For employees, the restricted shares granted prior to May 2011 generally vest 25 percent per year beginning on the first anniversary of the grant date, subject to the employee’s continuing service to the Company. Grants during and after May 2011 become exercisable and vest 33 percent per year beginning on the first anniversary of the grant date, subject to the employee’s continuing service to the Company. For directors, the restricted shares generally vest in full on the first anniversary of the grant date.
As of September 30, 2011 there was $6.4 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested restricted stock granted under our Stock Plans. That expense is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.4 years.

Note 9 — Retirement Plans
Pension Plans
Effective January 1, 2010, the United States defined benefit pension plan was amended to exclude new hires and rehires from participating in the plan. In addition, we eliminated benefit accruals under the U.S. defined benefit pension plan as of January 1, 2011, thus “freezing” the plan. Under the plan freeze, no pay credits will be made to a participant's account balance after December 31, 2010. However, interest credits will continue in accordance with the annual update process.
In connection with actions taken under our announced restructuring programs, the number of employees accumulating benefits under our pension plan in the United States continues to decline. Participants in our U.S. defined benefit pension plan have the option of receiving cash lump sum payments when exiting the plan, which a number of participants exiting the plan have elected to receive. Lump sum payments in 2011 have exceeded our 2010 service and interest costs. As a result, we incurred partial settlement losses of $1.0 million and $0.9 million in the second and third quarters of 2011, respectively. The settlement losses are included in restructuring and other expense in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Additionally, in connection with the settlement and as required by pension accounting guidance, we remeasured the funded status of our U.S. defined benefit pension plan as of June 30, 2011 and September 30, 2011.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2011 we contributed $12.2 million to our worldwide pension plans. We presently anticipate contributing approximately $1 million to $2 million to fund our worldwide pension plans during the remainder of 2011.

Note 10 — Income Taxes
We are subject to income tax in numerous jurisdictions and the use of estimates is required in determining our provision for income taxes. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 we recorded an income tax provision of $2.1 million and $4.5 million, respectively. The income tax provision (benefit) is based on the estimated annual effective tax rate for the year applied to “ordinary” income (loss). Ordinary income (loss) is pre-tax income (loss) excluding unusual or infrequently occurring discrete items. The overall estimated annual effective tax rate calculation excludes jurisdictions reporting losses for which no tax benefit is expected to be recognized during the year. A separate estimated annual effective tax rate was calculated for the jurisdictions reporting losses for which no tax benefit can be recognized. The effective income tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 was (17.5) percent and (15.4) percent, respectively, compared with 28.1 percent and 38.8 percent in the same periods last year. The effective rate changes were primarily due to the full valuation allowance on U.S. deferred tax assets and the mix of taxable income/loss by country.
The effective income tax rate for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2011 differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35 percent primarily due to the full valuation allowance on U.S. deferred tax assets and the effects of foreign tax rate differential.
We conduct business globally. As a result, we file income tax returns and are subject to examination by taxing authorities in various jurisdictions throughout the world. Our U.S. federal income tax returns for 2006 through 2010 remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). The IRS completed its field work for the 2006 through 2008 examination in the second quarter of 2010 and has proposed adjustments. The matter is currently in IRS appeal. Due to a valuation allowance against our U.S. deferred tax assets, if issues under appeal were lost, we expect the impact to our Consolidated Statements of Operations would only be interest in excess of the amounts already accrued. The years 2004 through 2010 remain subject to examination by foreign tax jurisdictions as well as state and city tax jurisdictions. In the event that we have determined not to file tax returns with a particular state or city, all years remain subject to examination by that tax jurisdiction.
We accrue for the effects of uncertain tax positions and the related potential penalties and interest. There were no material adjustments to our recorded unrecognized tax benefits during the nine months ended September 30, 2011. Our liability related to uncertain tax positions was $17.5 million as of each September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010. It is reasonably possible that the amount of the unrecognized tax benefit with respect to certain of our unrecognized tax positions will increase or decrease during the next twelve months.
Taxes collected from customers that were included in revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 were $4.9 million and $5.4 million, respectively. Taxes collected from customers that were included in revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 were $15.1 million and $21.2 million, respectively.

Note 11 — Fair Value Measurements
As of September 30, 2011 and 2010 our financial instruments included cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and derivative contracts. The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximated carrying values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. In addition, certain derivative instruments are recorded at fair value as discussed below.
Fair value measurements are categorized into one of three levels based on the lowest level of significant input used: Level 1 (unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets); Level 2 (significant observable market inputs available at the measurement date, other than quoted prices included in Level 1); and Level 3 (unobservable inputs that cannot be corroborated by observable market data).
Assets and Liabilities that are Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

16

The assets in our postretirement benefit plans are measured at fair value on a recurring basis (at least annually). See Note 9 herein for additional discussion concerning pension and postretirement benefit plans.
We maintain a foreign currency exposure management policy that allows the use of derivative instruments, principally foreign currency forwards, option contracts and option combination strategies to manage risks associated with foreign exchange rate volatility. Generally, these contracts are entered into to fix the U.S. dollar amount of the eventual cash flows. The derivative instruments range in duration at inception up to fifteen months. We do not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes and we are not a party to leveraged derivatives.
We are exposed to the risk of nonperformance by our counter-parties, but we do not anticipate nonperformance by any of these counter-parties. We actively monitor our exposure to credit risk through the use of credit approvals and credit limits and by using major international banks and financial institutions as counter-parties.
As of September 30, 2011 we held derivative instruments that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis. Our derivative instruments consist of currency forwards, option contracts and option combination strategies. The fair value of our derivative instruments is determined based on inputs that are observable in the public market, but are other than publicly quoted prices (Level 2).
Hedge gains of $0.4 million and $0.6 million were reclassified into the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations during the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Hedge gains of $0.6 million and $1.0 million were reclassified into the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The amount of net deferred gains on foreign currency cash flow hedges included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in shareholders’ equity as of September 30, 2011 was $0.1 million, pre-tax, which, depending on market factors, is expected to be reversed in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet or be reclassified into operations during the next three to six months.

Cash Flow Hedges
We attempt to mitigate the risk that forecasted cash flows denominated in foreign currencies may be adversely affected by changes in currency exchange rates through the use of option, forward and combination option contracts. The degree of our hedging can fluctuate based on management judgment and forecasted projections. We formally document all relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as our risk management objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge items. This process includes linking all derivatives to forecasted transactions.
We also formally assess, both at the hedge’s inception and on an ongoing basis, whether the derivatives used in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in the cash flows of hedged items. Gains and losses related to cash flow hedges are deferred in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) with a corresponding asset or liability. When the hedged transaction occurs, the gains and losses in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) are reclassified into the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations in the same line as the item being hedged. If at any time it is determined that a derivative is not highly effective as a hedge, we discontinue hedge accounting prospectively, with deferred gains and losses being recognized in current period operations.
Other Hedges
We enter into foreign currency forward contracts, generally with durations of less than two months, to manage the foreign currency exposure related to our monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies. We record the estimated fair value of these forwards within other current assets or other current liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, and all changes in their fair value are immediately recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Note 13 — Segment Information
 Our business is organized, managed and internally and externally reported as segments differentiated by the regional markets we serve: Americas, Europe, North Asia and South Asia. Each of these geographic segments has responsibility for selling all of our product lines.
We evaluate segment performance based on revenue and operating income. Revenue for each segment is generally based on customer location where the product is shipped. The operating income reported in our segments excludes corporate and other unallocated amounts. Although such amounts are excluded from the business segment results, they are included in reported consolidated earnings. Corporate and unallocated amounts include litigation settlement expense, goodwill impairment expense, research and development expense, corporate expense, stock-based compensation expense, inventory write-offs and restructuring and other expenses which are not allocated to the segments.

Corporate and unallocated amounts above include litigation settlement and restructuring and other expense of $7.5 million and $4.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Corporate and unallocated amounts above include goodwill impairment, inventory write-offs related to our restructuring programs, litigation settlement expense and restructuring and other expense of $21.9 million and $35.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
We have three major product categories: traditional storage, secure and scalable storage, and audio and video information. During the three months ended June 30, 2011 we changed the name of the emerging storage product category to secure and scalable storage and during the three months ended September 30, 2011 we changed the name of the electronics and accessories category to audio and video information. These changes did not alter the definition of products within the categories; rather, the changes were made to better reflect our direction and future product offerings. Traditional storage products include optical products, magnetic products and other traditional storage media products. Optical products primarily include DVDs, CDs and Blu-ray disc recordable media. Magnetic products primarily include data storage tape media. Other traditional storage products primarily include optical drives and audio and video tape media. Secure and scalable products include flash memory and hard disk drive products, including secure USB flash drives, external hard disk drives, removable hard disk drives and solid state drives. Audio and video information products primarily include CD players, alarm clocks, portable boom boxes, MP3 players, Apple iPad®, iPod® and iPhone® accessories, headphones, speakers and gaming accessories.
Net revenue by product category was as follows:

Note 14 — Litigation, Commitments and Contingencies
We are the subject of various pending or threatened legal actions in the ordinary course of our business. All such matters are subject to many uncertainties and outcomes that are not predictable with assurance. Additionally, our audio and video information and secure and scalable storage businesses are subject to allegations of patent infringement by our competitors as well as by non-practicing entities (NPEs), sometimes referred to as “patent trolls,” who may seek monetary settlements from us, our competitors, suppliers and resellers. Consequently, as of September 30, 2011, we are unable to ascertain the ultimate aggregate amount of any monetary liability or financial impact that we may incur with respect to these matters. While these matters could materially affect operating results depending upon the final resolution in future periods, it is our opinion that after final disposition, any monetary liability beyond that provided in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2011 would not be material to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
On June 19, 2009 Advanced Research Corp. (ARC) sued Imation in Ramsey County District Court for breach of contract relating to a supply agreement under which we purchased our requirements for magnetic heads to write servo patterns on magnetic tape prior to sale of the finished cartridges, requesting the court to order that Imation pay damages and return the purchased heads to ARC. A trial date had been set for October 2011, but in September 2011 we agreed to a settlement of the matter. Under the terms of the settlement we agreed to pay ARC $2 million. The one time payment was accrued for in the third quarter of 2011 and recorded as a litigation settlement expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
In some countries in Europe the sale of recordable optical media is subject to a private copying levy, which is an extra charge on purchases of these products. Imation collects the levies upon sale, and submits payment of the levies to copyright collective non-government agencies for distribution to content providers as “fair compensation” for the harm caused to them due to private copies made by natural persons of protected works. For several years the amount of the levies in Europe has been in question and the subject of various litigation and law making activities. During 2010 we began withholding payments from the collecting agencies related to levies on some of the recordable optical media we sold but we continued to accrue the liability. For some countries we have discontinued recording the accrual. Quarterly we review the necessity of the accrued liability on a country-by-country basis relative to the ongoing developments related to litigation and law making activities in each country. Depending on our expectations of the final outcome of the various litigation and law making activities, if we determine the payment is less than what we have accrued, the estimated over accrual will be reversed and recorded as a reduction to our cost of goods sold in the period that we determine the payment is not probable. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, we reversed $7.2 million and $12.7 million of the European levy accruals, respectively, due to our determination of probability based on court decisions which clarify the circumstances in which we are required to pay certain levies. The reversal was recorded as a benefit to cost of goods sold in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Note 15 — Subsequent Event
On September 20, 2011 we announced our entry into a definitive agreement under which we would acquire the secure data storage hardware assets of IronKey Systems Inc. (IronKey). We closed the acquisition on October 4, 2011. The preliminary purchase price consists of a cash payment of approximately $19.0 million.
IronKey's storage hardware products provide secure managed portable storage and authentication. Its customers include Fortune 500 enterprises, government agencies and the military. We also entered into a strategic partnership whereby we received an exclusive license from IronKey for its secure storage management software and service as well as a license to use the IronKey brand for secure storage products including online cloud-based security service.

•
Diluted loss per share from continuing operations was $0.38 for the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared with diluted loss per share from continuing operations of $0.06 for the same period last year.

Consolidated Results of Operations for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2011
•
Net revenue from continuing operations of $948.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was down 10.8 percent compared with $1,062.5 million in the same period last year.
•
Operating loss was $21.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared with operating loss of $25.9 million in the same period last year.
•
Diluted loss per share from continuing operations was $0.89 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared with diluted loss per share from continuing operations of $0.54 for the same period last year.

Cash Flow/Financial Condition for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2011
•
Cash and cash equivalents totaled $232.9 million as of September 30, 2011 compared with $304.9 million at December 31, 2010. The decrease was primarily attributable to acquisition related payments, pension contributions, litigation settlement payments, restructuring payments, treasury stock purchases and annual incentive payments to employees.
•
Cash flow used in operating activities was $31.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared with cash provided by operating activities of $102.9 million in the same period last year. This change was primarily due to pension funding, restructuring payments, litigation settlement payments and changes in working capital. Cash provided by operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was substantially higher due to significant progress in working capital initiatives.

Our worldwide revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2011 decreased compared to the same period last year due to declines in traditional storage products of $28.8 million, including $20.5 million from optical products and $6.5 million from magnetic products, as well as declines of $6.5 million from audio and video information products as a result of planned rationalization of video products, partially offset by an increase of $1.6 million from secure and scalable storage products. Revenue was positively impacted by foreign currency translation of four percent.

Gross profit increased for the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the same period last year due to European levy benefits of $7.2 million and price increases which were partially offset by the net impact of optical supplier cost increases of $5.5 million along with lower net revenues on optical products. Gross profit was also impacted by the sale of certain non-strategic intellectual property which provided a net gain of $2.4 million as well as higher gross margins in several product categories including secure and scalable storage and audio and video information products.
Gross profit decreased for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the same period last year primarily due to lower net revenues on optical products and lower gross margins on magnetic partially offset by higher gross margins on all other products. Optical gross profit was benefited by European levy benefits of $12.7 million and price increases which were partially offset by optical supplier increases of $12.8 million.
Total Company gross margins increased over the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the same periods last year primarily due to European levy benefits and price increases offset by optical supplier cost increases as discussed above along with changes in product mix.

On February 28, 2011 we acquired substantially all of the assets of BeCompliant Corporation (doing business as Encryptx). The purchase price allocation resulted in goodwill of $1.6 million relating to this acquisition, made up of expected strategic synergies and intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition. The goodwill was allocated to our existing Americas-Commercial reporting unit. Goodwill is considered impaired when its carrying amount exceeds its implied fair value. As of March 31, 2011 the carrying amount of all of our reporting units significantly exceeded their fair value and we performed an impairment test. Based on the goodwill test performed as of March 31, 2011 we determined that the carrying amount of the goodwill in the Americas-Commercial reporting unit, including the assets of Encryptx, exceeded the implied fair value and, therefore, the goodwill was fully impaired on March 31, 2011. See Note 4 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding this acquisition.
We made certain changes to our business segments effective in the second quarter of 2010. Our reporting units for goodwill are our operating segments with the exception of the Americas segment which is further divided between the Americas-Consumer and Americas-Commercial reporting units as determined by sales channel. As a result of the segment change, the $23.5 million of goodwill which was previously allocated to the Electronics Products segment was merged into the Americas-Consumer reporting unit. The Americas-Consumer reporting unit had a fair value that was significantly less than its carrying amount prior to the combination, which is a triggering event for an interim goodwill impairment test. Based on the goodwill test performed as of June 30, 2010, we determined that the carrying amount of the reporting unit significantly exceeded its fair value and that the $23.5 million of goodwill was fully impaired.

Restructuring and other expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 was related to our 2011 corporate strategy restructuring program and the 2011 manufacturing redesign restructuring program. Specifically, we incurred severance related costs of $2.4 million and $3.7 million, respectively, lease termination and modification costs of $1.1 million and $1.5 million, respectively, and other charges of $0.8 million and $1.2 million, respectively. Additionally, we incurred other charges unrelated to these programs of $1.2 million and $10.4 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 respectively. These other charges are primarily related to the demolition of our Camarillo, California facility of $7.0 million, pension settlements of $1.9 million and acquisition and integration related costs of $1.5 million. During the remainder of 2011 we expect to incur restructuring charges in a range of approximately $2 million to $5 million related to our outstanding restructuring programs.

24

Restructuring expense for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2010 was mainly related to our 2008 corporate redesign restructuring program and included severance related costs of $1.0 million and $5.9 million, respectively, and $1.3 and $1.6 million of lease termination costs, respectively. Additionally, we recorded $2.0 million of pension settlement charges for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2010. Other expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 included costs associated with the retirement of our former Vice Chairman and Chief Executive Officer including a severance related charge of $1.4 million and a charge of $0.8 million related to the accelerated vesting of his unvested options and restricted stock.

Operating loss increased for the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared with the same period last year primarily due to higher SG&A costs of $3.4 million, litigation settlement expense of $2.0 million, higher restructuring and other expenses of $1.2 million and higher R&D expenses of $1.0 million, partially offset by higher gross profit of $1.6 million, each as discussed above.
Operating loss decreased for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared with the same period last year primarily due to lower goodwill impairment charges of $21.9 million, partially offset by lower gross profit of $10.6 million and higher restructuring and other expenses of $5.1 million, each as discussed above.

Other expense increased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the same period last year due to increases in foreign currency losses of $3.2 million and $2.1 million, respectively. We attempt to mitigate the exposure to foreign currency volatility through our hedging program; however, our program is not designed to fully hedge our risk and as a result we experience some volatility in other income, especially in periods of significant foreign currency fluctuation.

The change in the effective rate of income tax provision (benefit) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared with the same periods last year was due primarily to a full valuation allowance on U.S. deferred tax assets and the mix of taxable income/loss by country. See Note 10 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further

information about the valuation allowance related to the U.S. deferred tax assets.

Segment Results
Our business is organized, managed and internally and externally reported as segments differentiated by the regional markets we serve: Americas, Europe, North Asia and South Asia. Each of these geographic segments has responsibility for selling all of our product lines.
We evaluate segment performance based on revenue and operating income. Revenue for each segment is generally based on customer location where the product is shipped. The operating income reported in our segments excludes corporate and other unallocated amounts. Although such amounts are excluded from the business segment results, they are included in reported consolidated earnings. Corporate and unallocated amounts include litigation settlement expense, goodwill impairment expense, research and development expense, corporate expense, inventory write-offs, stock-based compensation expense and restructuring and other expenses which are not allocated to the segments.
We have three major product categories: traditional storage, secure and scalable storage, and audio and video information. During the three months ended June 30, 2011 we changed the name of the emerging storage product category to secure and scalable storage and during the three months ended September 30, 2011 we changed the name of the electronics and accessories category to audio and video information. These changes did not alter the definition of products within the categories; rather, the changes were made to better reflect our direction and future product offerings.

The Americas segment is our largest segment comprising 45.8 percent of our revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2011. The Americas segment revenue decreased for the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared with the same period last year driven primarily by lower revenue from optical products of $17.6 million, audio and video information products of $11.3 million and magnetic products of $10.6 million. Revenue decreased for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared with the same period last year driven primarily by the lower revenue from optical products of $45.2 million, audio and video information products of $31.3 million due to planned rationalization of certain product lines and magnetic products of $21.0 million.
Operating income decreased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared with the same period last year driven primarily by lower revenue and lower gross margin on optical and magnetic products.

The Europe segment comprised 18.4 percent of our revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2011. The Europe segment revenue decreased for the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared with the same period last year driven by lower revenue from optical products of $3.3 million and secure and scalable storage products of $1.0 million, partially offset by higher revenue from magnetic products of $1.5 million. Revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2011 was benefited

26

by foreign currency impacts of ten percent. Revenue decreased for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared with the same period last year driven primarily by lower revenue from optical products of $24.5 million. Revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was benefited by foreign currency impacts of seven percent.
Operating income increased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared with the same periods last year driven primarily by the higher gross margins on optical products mainly due to the reversal of accrued European levies on optical products of $7.2 million and $12.7 million, respectively, related to levy accruals we believe no longer need to be paid.

The North Asia segment comprised 24.4 percent of our revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2011. The North Asia segment revenue increased for the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared with the same period last year driven primarily by higher revenue from magnetic products of $1.6 million and audio and video information products of $1.9 million. Revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2011 was benefited by foreign currency impacts of eight percent. Revenue increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared with the same period last year driven primarily by higher revenue from flash products of $6.4 million, magnetic products of $5.2 million and audio and video information products of $3.9 million, partially offset by decreases in revenue from hard disk drives of $7.0 million, optical products of $1.7 million and other traditional storage products of $2.2 million. Revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was benefited by foreign currency impacts of nine percent.
Operating income decreased for the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared with the same period last year driven primarily by lower gross margin on optical products and higher SG&A costs as a result of changes in foreign currency rates. Operating income increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared with the same period last year driven primarily by a reversal of a bad debt reserve of $2.7 million as well as improved gross margins on secure and scalable storage products, offset partially by the changes in foreign currency rates and resulting impact on the region's SG&A costs.

The corporate and unallocated operating loss includes amounts which are not allocated to the business units in management’s evaluation of segment performance such as litigation settlement charges, goodwill impairment charges, R&D expense, corporate expense, stock-based compensation expense and restructuring and other expense. The corporate and unallocated operating loss increased for the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared with the same period as last year driven primarily by increased restructuring and other expense related to our previously announced programs. The corporate and unallocated operating loss decreased for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared with the same period as last year driven primarily by a goodwill impairment charge during 2010 of $23.5 million, offset partially by increased restructuring and other expense related to our previously announced programs as well as the $7.0 million charge relating to the demolition of our Camarillo, California facility during the three months ended June 30, 2011.

Impact of Changes in Foreign Currency Rates
We have a market presence in more than 100 countries and we sell products on a local currency basis through a variety of distribution channels. We source optical, flash and other finished goods from manufacturers located primarily in Asia, although much of this sourcing is on a U.S. dollar basis. During the three months ended March 31, 2011 we transitioned manufacturing operations for magnetic products from our Weatherford, Oklahoma facility to sourcing these products on a Japanese Yen basis from TDK Corporation. Additionally, comparisons of revenue and gross profit from foreign countries are subject to various fluctuations due to the impact of translating results at differing exchange rates in different periods.
Changes in foreign currency translation rates for the three months ended September 30, 2011 benefited worldwide revenue by four percent compared with one percent for the same period last year. Changes in foreign currency translation rates for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 benefited worldwide revenue by four percent compared with two percent for the same period last year. The impact on profit is more difficult to determine due to the influence of other factors that we believe are also impacted by currency rate changes.
Our foreign currency hedging program attempts to manage some of the foreign currency risks over near term periods; however, these risk management activities cannot ensure that the program will offset more than a portion of the adverse financial impact resulting from unfavorable movements in foreign exchange rates or that medium and longer term effects of exchange rates will not be significant (see Part 1, Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk in this Form 10-Q).

Financial Position
Our cash and cash equivalents balance as of September 30, 2011 was $232.9 million, a decrease of $72.0 million from $304.9 million as of December 31, 2010. The decrease was primarily attributable to acquisition related payments, pension contributions, litigation settlement payments, restructuring payments, treasury stock purchases and annual incentive payments to employees.
Our accounts receivable balance as of September 30, 2011 was $212.4 million, a decrease of $46.4 million from $258.8 million as of December 31, 2010 as a result of lower sales during the period. Days sales outstanding was 59 days as of September 30, 2011, up 2 days from December 31, 2010. Days sales outstanding is calculated using the count-back method, which calculates the number of days of most recent revenue that is reflected in the net accounts receivable balance.
Our inventory balance as of September 30, 2011 was $235.3 million, an increase of $32.0 million from $203.3 million as of December 31, 2010. Days of inventory supply was 74 days as of September 30, 2011, up 5 days from December 31, 2010. These increases were primarily a result of changes in terms with our optical vendors from consignment to owned inventory during the second quarter of 2011. Days of inventory supply is calculated using the current period inventory balance divided by an estimate of the inventoriable portion of cost of goods sold expressed in days.
Our accounts payable balance as of September 30, 2011 was $201.2 million, a decrease of $18.0 million from $219.2 million as of December 31, 2010. The decrease in accounts payable was mainly due to reduced payment terms primarily to our optical suppliers.
Our other current liabilities balance as of September 30, 2011 was $153.2 million, a decrease of $19.1 million from $172.3 million as of December 31, 2010. The decrease was primarily due to the payment associated with the TDK value added tax liability which was paid from restricted cash, the timing of annual payments in programs associated with rebate accruals and restructuring payments, offset partially by the current portion of our previously announced litigation settlement accruals

28

which were $17.6 million and $10.6 million at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.
In some countries in Europe the sale of recordable optical media is subject to a private copying levy, which is an extra charge on purchases of these products. Imation collects the levies upon sale, and submits payment of the levies to copyright collective non-government agencies for distribution to content providers as “fair compensation” for the harm caused to them due to private copies made by natural persons of protected works. For several years the amount of the levies in Europe has been in question and the subject of various litigation and law making activities. During 2010 we began withholding payments from the collecting agencies related to levies on some of the recordable optical media we sold but we continued to accrue the liability. For some countries we have discontinued recording the accrual. Quarterly we review the necessity of the accrued liability on a country-by-country basis relative to the ongoing developments related to litigation and law making activities in each country. Depending on our expectations of the final outcome of the various litigation and law making activities, if we determine the payment is less than what we have accrued, the estimated over accrual will be reversed and recorded as a reduction to our cost of goods sold in the period that we determine the payment is not probable. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, we reversed $7.2 million and $12.7 million of the European levy accruals, respectively, due to our determination of probability based on court decisions which clarify the circumstances in which we are required to pay certain levies. The reversal was recorded as a benefit to cost of goods sold in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

On January 28, 2008, the Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program increasing the total outstanding authorization to 3.0 million shares of common stock. During the nine months ended September 30, 2011 we repurchased 1.1 million shares. We did not repurchase shares during 2010. Since the inception of the program we have repurchased a total of 1.8 million shares and 1.2 million shares remain outstanding under the authorization as of September 30, 2011.
We have a credit agreement with a group of banks that was most recently amended on June 28, 2011 and expires March 29, 2013. The credit agreement includes a senior revolving credit facility amount of $200 million, including sublimits of $150 million in the United States and $50 million in Europe. Advances are limited to the lesser of the sublimit(s) and the borrowing base as defined by the agreement. As of September 30, 2011 our total availability under the credit facility was $129.0 million. The credit agreement is secured by our Oakdale headquarters and all of our personal property and the personal property of certain other subsidiaries.
Borrowings under the credit agreement bare a variable rate of interest which during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 would have been approximately 5.0 percent. However, we did not have borrowings under the credit agreement during the nine months ended September 30, 2011.
The credit agreement contains covenants which are customary for similar credit arrangements, including covenants relating to financial reporting and notification; payment of indebtedness, taxes and other obligations; compliance with applicable laws; and limitations regarding additional liens, indebtedness, certain acquisitions, investments and dispositions of assets. We were in compliance with all covenants as of September 30, 2011. The credit agreement also contains a conditional financial covenant that requires us to have a Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) of not less than 1.20 to 1.00 during certain periods described in the Amended Credit Agreement. However, at September 30, 2011 that conditional financial covenant did not apply.
Our liquidity needs for the remaining three months of 2011 include the following: restructuring payments of approximately $2 million to $5 million, capital expenditures of approximately $2 million to $3 million, pension funding of approximately $1 million to $2 million, operating lease payments of approximately $3 million, approximately $19 million for the acquisition of IronKey Systems Inc. plus any other amounts associated with strategic acquisitions, any amounts associated with organic investment opportunities and any amounts associated with the repurchase of common stock under the authorization discussed above. We expect that cash and cash equivalents, together with cash flow from operations and availability of borrowings under our current sources of financing, will provide liquidity sufficient to meet these needs and for our operations.

Contractual Obligations
A table of our contractual obligations was provided in Item 7 in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010. As part of our 2011 corporate strategy restructuring program, we modified certain lease agreements. These modifications resulted in charges of $1.1 million during the three months ended September 30, 2011 which were recorded in restructuring and other in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. The changes related to our lease obligations are reflected in the table below. No other significant changes to our contractual obligations occurred during the first nine months of 2011.

Forward-Looking Statements and Risk Factors
We may from time to time make written or oral forward-looking statements with respect to our future goals, including statements contained in this Form 10-Q, in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and in our reports to shareholders.
Certain information which does not relate to historical financial information may be deemed to constitute forward-looking statements. The words or phrases “is targeting,” “will likely result,” “are expected to,” “will continue,” “is anticipated,” “estimate,” “project,” “believe” or similar expressions identify “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results in the future to differ materially from our historical results and those presently anticipated or projected. We wish to caution investors not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements. Any forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which such statements are made, and we undertake no obligation to update such statements to reflect events or circumstances arising after such date. Risk factors include our ability to successfully implement our strategy; our ability to grow our business in new products with profitable margins and the rate of revenue decline for certain existing products; the ready availability and price of energy and key raw materials or critical components; our ability to pass along price increases to our customers; changes in European law or practice related to the imposition or collectability of optical levies; our potential dependence on third parties for new product introductions or technologies in order to introduce our own new products; our ability to introduce new offerings in a timely manner either independently or in association with TDK, OEMs and other third parties and the market acceptance of newly introduced product and service offerings; continuing uncertainty in global and regional economic conditions; our ability to identify, integrate and realize the expected benefits from any acquisition which has occurred or may occur in connection with our strategy; our ability to realize the benefits from our global sourcing and development strategy for magnetic data storage products and the related restructuring; the volatility of the markets in which we operate; foreign currency fluctuations; our ability to source and deliver products to our customers at acceptable quality, volume and cost levels; significant changes in discount rates and other assumptions used in the valuation of our pension plans; changes in tax laws, regulations and results of inspections by various tax authorities; our ability to meet our revenue growth, gross margin and earnings targets; our ability to secure adequate supply of certain high demand products at acceptable prices; changes in the supply and cost of raw materials and key components of our products resulting from the effects of natural disasters including the October 2011 flooding in Thailand; our ability to efficiently source, warehouse and distribute our products globally; a material change in customer relationships or in customer demand for products; the future financial and operating performance of major customers and industries served; our ability to successfully defend our intellectual property rights and the ability or willingness of our suppliers to provide adequate protection against third party intellectual property or product liability claims; the possibility that our long-lived assets for any goodwill that we acquire in the future may become impaired; the outcome of any pending or future litigation; and the volatility of our stock price due to our results or market trends, as well as various factors set forth in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 and from time to time in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.
Except for the paragraph noted below, there has been no material change since our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010. For further information, see Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.
 As of September 30, 2011 we had $210.0 million notional amount of foreign currency forward and option contracts of which $76.5 million hedged recorded balance sheet exposures. This compares to $293.1 million notional amount of foreign currency forward and option contracts as of December 31, 2010, of which $47.1 million hedged recorded balance sheet exposures. An immediate adverse change of 10 percent in quarter-end foreign currency exchange rates with all other variables (including interest rates) held constant would reduce the fair value of foreign currency contracts outstanding as of September 30, 2011 by $4.9 million.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
 Based on an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act)) as of September 30, 2011, the end of the period covered by this report, the President and Chief Executive Officer, Mark E. Lucas, and the Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, Paul R. Zeller, have concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
During the quarter ended September 30, 2011, there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
In the normal course of business, we periodically enter into agreements that incorporate general indemnification language. Performance under these indemnities would generally be triggered by a breach of terms of the contract or by a third-party claim. There has historically been no material losses related to such indemnifications. In accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, we record a liability in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for these actions when a loss is known or considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated.
We are the subject of various pending or threatened legal actions in the ordinary course of our business. All such matters are subject to many uncertainties and outcomes that are not predictable with assurance. Additionally, our audio and video information and secure and scalable storage businesses are subject to allegations of patent infringement by our competitors as well as by non-practicing entities (NPEs), sometimes referred to as “patent trolls,” who may seek monetary settlements from us, our competitors, suppliers and resellers. Consequently, as of September 30, 2011, we are unable to ascertain the ultimate aggregate amount of any monetary liability or financial impact that we may incur with respect to these matters. While these matters could materially affect operating results depending upon the final resolution in future periods, it is our opinion that after final disposition, any monetary liability beyond that provided in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2011 would not be material to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
On June 19, 2009 Advanced Research Corp. (ARC) sued Imation in Ramsey County District Court for breach of contract relating to a supply agreement under which we purchased our requirements for magnetic heads to write servo patterns on magnetic tape prior to sale of the finished cartridges, requesting the court to order that Imation pay damages and return the purchased heads to ARC. A trial date had been set for October 2011, but in September 2011 we agreed to a settlement of the matter. Under the terms of the settlement we agreed to pay ARC $2 million. The one time payment was accrued for in the third quarter of 2011 and recorded as a litigation settlement expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
 There has been no material change in the risk factors set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010. For further information, see Item 1A. “Risk Factors” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010.
