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, comprehensive loss 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 (U.S. GAAP) 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, 2011 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet data was derived from the audited Consolidated Financial Statements but does not include all disclosures required by 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, 2011.

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 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 Imation for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed beginning January 1, 2012 and did not have a material impact on our financial position and results of operations.

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. In December 2011, the FASB amended this guidance to indefinitely defer provisions which required entities to present reclassification adjustments out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component in both the statement in which net income is presented and the statement in which other comprehensive income is presented. This guidance was effective for Imation for our first quarter ended March 31, 2012 and did not have a material impact on our financial position and results of operations.

In May 2011, the FASB issued amended disclosure requirements to provide a consistent definition of fair value and ensure 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 was effective for Imation for our first quarter ended March 31, 2012 and did not have a material impact on our financial position and results of operations.

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 — (Loss) Earnings per Common Share

7

Basic (loss) earnings per common share is calculated using the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the period. Diluted (loss) earnings per common 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. Once restricted stock vests, it is included in our common shares outstanding.

Potential common shares are excluded from the computation of diluted (loss) earnings per common share when the effect would be anti-dilutive. All potential common shares are anti-dilutive in periods of net loss available to common shareholders. Stock options are anti-dilutive when the exercise price of these instruments is greater than the average market price of the Company's common stock for the period.

The following table sets forth the computation of the weighted average basic and diluted (loss) earnings per share:

Note 4 — Acquisitions

On October 4, 2011, we acquired the secure data storage hardware of IronKey Systems Inc. (IronKey) for a cash payment of $19.0 million. During the three months ended June 30, 2012, we recorded an adjustment to the purchase price related to working capital in the amount of $0.6 million. As the purchase accounting for this acquisition was finalized in 2011, the adjustment was recorded as a charge to restructuring and other in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012.

On June 4, 2011, we acquired the assets of MXI Security, a leader in high-security and privacy technologies, from Memory Experts International Inc., (MXI). The purchase price included future contingent consideration totaling between $0.0 and $45.0 million with an estimated fair value of $9.2 million at the time of the acquisition. The amount of contingent consideration was to be based on incremental revenue and gross margin percent from MXI and MXI-based Defender branded products.

During the second quarter of 2012, the MXI Security contingent consideration agreement was amended in light of the IronKey acquisition that occurred late in 2011. Under the amended agreement, the amount of contingent consideration will continue to range between $0.0 and $45.0 million, and will be based on incremental gross profit (revenue less cost of goods sold) and gross margin percent from MXI branded products, IronKey products and all other Defender branded products as well as future Imation Mobile Security products. Actual payments under the amended contingent consideration agreement could occur in three separate periods of time until the agreement expires on December 31, 2013. The first and the second earn-out payments each range between $0.0 and $25.0 million with the sum of the first and second payments being up to a maximum of $25.0 million. The first earn-out payment was not achieved.

We remeasure the remaining contingent consideration each reporting period. At June 30, 2012, the estimated fair value of this contingent consideration obligation was determined to be $6.4 million, resulting in a decrease of $2.8 million which was recorded as a benefit in restructuring and other in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012. See Note 12 - Fair Value Measurements for further discussion of our valuation technique.

On February 28, 2011 we acquired substantially all of the assets of BeCompliant Corporation, doing business as Encryptx (Encryptx). The purchase price included future contingent consideration with an estimated fair value of $1.3 million at the time of the acquisition. During the six months ended June 30, 2012, we paid $0.7 million of the consideration. The final contingent consideration payment will be determined based on certain 2012 milestones and any amount due will be paid

8

during the first quarter of 2013. Based on our analysis of fair value as of June 30, 2012, the fair value of the remaining consideration did not change significantly.

Intangible assets, net	$	289.6		$	6.8		$	16.0		$	9.3		$	321.7

Amortization expense for intangible assets consisted of the following:

	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
	June 30,				June 30,
(In millions)	2012		2011		2012		2011
Amortization expense	$	7.3	$	6.2	$	14.5	$	12.2

During the three months ended June 30, 2012, we accelerated the amortization of several intangible assets due to certain business decisions to abandon the intangible assets during the quarter. These intangible assets had a carrying value of $1.3 million. The $1.3 million of accelerated amortization was recorded in restructuring and other in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

On December 20, 2011 we acquired intellectual property and other assets, from Nine Technology, LLC (Nine Technology). The purchase price included future contingent consideration of $1.0 million based on certain 2012 milestones of which $0.5 million was paid in 2011. During the six months ended June 30, 2012, we paid the remaining $0.5 million contingent consideration payment.

Goodwill

During 2011, we acquired the assets of MXI Security and the assets of Ironkey's secure data storage hardware business. These businesses, along with our Imation Defender brand, make up our Mobile Security reporting unit. The carrying value of our Mobile Security reporting unit includes $31.3 million of goodwill.

We test the carrying amount of a reporting unit's goodwill for impairment on an annual basis during the fourth quarter of each year. In addition, we also test goodwill for impairment if an event occurs or circumstances change that would warrant impairment testing during an interim period. During the three months ended June 30, 2012, we adjusted our internal financial forecast for the Mobile Security reporting unit resulting in a change in timing of the expected cash flows, which we considered to be an event that warranted an interim test as to whether the goodwill was impaired. In evaluating whether goodwill was impaired, we compared the estimated fair value of the Mobile Security reporting unit to its carrying value (Step 1 of the impairment test). See Note 12 - Fair Value Measurements for further discussion of our valuation technique.

This analysis indicates that this goodwill is not impaired. The projections utilized in the analysis reflect management's best assumptions regarding Mobile Security. To the extent that our projections or other assumptions about future economic conditions, the industry in which Mobile Security operates, or the potential for our growth and profitability in this business vary from actual results, it is possible that our conclusion regarding the recoverability of the remaining goodwill could change, which could have a material effect on our financial position and results of operations.

During the six months ended June 30, 2011, we acquired substantially all of the assets of Encryptx which resulted in

10

goodwill of $1.6 million. The goodwill was allocated to our existing Americas-Commercial reporting unit. Based on an interim goodwill impairment test performed at March 31, 2011, we determined that 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 charge was recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2011 in restructuring and other in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Note 7 — Restructuring and Other Expense

The components of our restructuring and other expense included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations were as follows:

2011 Corporate Strategy Restructuring Program

On January 31, 2011, the Board of Directors approved the 2011 corporate strategy restructuring program which is described in detail in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 we recorded restructuring charges of $3.1 million and 3.8 million, respectively, associated with this program. These charges were primarily associated with severance and, to a lesser extent, lease termination and other costs and were included in restructuring and other in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Since the inception of this program, we have recorded a total of $13.2 million of severance and related expenses, $3.5 million of lease termination and modification costs, $1.6 million of inventory write-offs, $0.3 million related to a pension curtailment charge and $0.7 million of other charges. Inventory write-offs are included in cost of goods sold in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Changes in the 2011 corporate strategy restructuring program accruals were as follows:

2011 Manufacturing Redesign Restructuring Program

On January 13, 2011, the Board of Directors approved the 2011 manufacturing redesign restructuring program which is described in detail in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011. During the three months ended June 30, 2012 no additional costs were incurred related to this program. During the six months ended June 30, 2012 we recorded a gain on the sale of assets from the Weatherford facility of $0.7 million and $0.6 million of other charges. These costs were included in restructuring and other in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Note 8 — Stock-Based Compensation

Stock compensation consisted of the following:

	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
	June 30,				June 30,
(In millions)	2012		2011		2012		2011
Stock compensation expense	$	1.7	$	1.8	$	3.6	$	3.6

We have stock-based compensation awards outstanding under five plans (collectively, the Stock Plans) which are described in detail in our 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K consisting of stock options and restricted stock. As of June 30, 2012 there were 2,047,258 shares available for grant under our 2011 Stock Incentive Plan. No further shares were available for grant under any other stock incentive plan.

Stock Options

The following table summarizes our stock option activity:

	Stock Options		Weighted Average Exercise Price
Outstanding December 31, 2011	5,679,579		$	19.87
Granted	1,133,091		5.82

Exercisable as of June 30, 2012	3,942,735		$	22.84

The outstanding options are non-qualified and generally have a term of ten years. The weighted average grant date fair value of options that were granted for the six months ended June 30, 2012 was $2.54 per award. The following table summarizes our weighted average assumptions used in the valuation of options:

	2012

Risk-free interest rate	1.1	%
Expected life (months)	71
Dividend yield	—	%

As of June 30, 2012 there was $7.4 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested stock options granted under our Stock Plans. That expense is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.2 years.

Restricted Stock

The following table summarizes our restricted stock activity:

12

	Restricted Stock		Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value Per Share
Nonvested as of December 31, 2011	795,046		$	10.02
Granted	644,217		5.78

Forfeited	(57,089	)	10.43
Nonvested as of June 30, 2012	1,083,334		$	7.35

The cost of the awards is determined using the fair value of the Company’s common stock on the date of the grant and compensation is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite vesting period.

As of June 30, 2012 there was $6.9 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 2.1 years.

Note 9 — Retirement Plans

Pension Plans

During the six months ended June 30, 2012 we contributed $2.8 million to our worldwide pension plans. We presently anticipate contributing approximately $4 million to $7 million to fund our worldwide pension plans during the remainder of 2012.

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 for the six months ended June 30, 2012 have exceeded our expected 2012 service and interest costs. As a result, a partial settlement event occurred during the three months ended June 30, 2012 and we recognized a loss of $1.5 million. A settlement loss of $1.0 million was recognized for the three months ended June 30, 2011. These settlement losses are included in restructuring and other in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Additionally, in connection with the settlement and as required by pension accounting, we remeasured the funded status of our U.S. defined benefit plan as of June 30, 2012.

Components of net periodic pension cost included the following:

	United States						International					United States						International
	Three Months Ended June 30,											Six Months Ended June 30,

Note 10 — Income Taxes

For interim income tax reporting, we are required to estimate our annual effective tax rate and apply it to year-to-date pre-tax ordinary income/loss excluding unusual or infrequently occurring discrete items. Tax jurisdictions with losses for which tax benefits cannot be realized are excluded.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 we recorded an income tax benefit of $(0.1) million and an income tax provision of $0.9 million, respectively. The effective income tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 was 0.8 percent and (3.9) percent, respectively, compared with (5.9) percent and (13.9) 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, the mix of taxable income (loss) by country and settlements with taxing authorities concluded during the second quarter of 2012.

13

The effective income tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35 percent primarily due to the full valuation allowance on U.S. deferred tax assets, the effects of foreign tax rate differential and settlements with taxing authorities concluded during the second quarter of 2012.

We conduct business globally. As a result, we file income tax returns in multiple jurisdictions and are subject to examination by taxing authorities throughout the world. Our U.S. federal income tax returns for 2004 through 2010 remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). The IRS completed its field examination of our U.S. federal income tax returns for the years 2006 through 2008 in the second quarter of 2010. The IRS completed its field examination for the 2009 tax year in the fourth quarter of 2011. We have protested certain IRS positions in both audit cycles and the matters are currently pending in the IRS appeals process. With few exceptions, we are no longer subject to examination by foreign tax jurisdictions or state and city tax jurisdictions for years before 2005. 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 the tax jurisdiction.

We accrue for the effects of uncertain tax positions and the related potential penalties and interest. During the three months ended June 30, 2012 we recognized $0.7 million of previously recorded unrecognized tax benefits due to settlements with taxing authorities. Our liability related to uncertain tax positions, which includes interest and penalties, was $16.9 million and $17.6 million as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. 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; however it is not possible to reasonably estimate the effect upon the unrecognized tax benefits at this time.

Note 11 — Debt

On May 18, 2012 we entered into an amendment (the Amendment) to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (as amended to date, Credit Agreement) described in Note 11 - Debt of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011. The Amendment modified the Credit Agreement by extending the expiration date of the borrowing arrangement to May 18, 2017, requiring that the equity interests of material foreign subsidiaries be pledged to support the obligations of Imation Europe B.V. (European Borrower), lowering the applicable margin on interest and lowering the minimum Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) as well as certain other immaterial changes.

The Credit Agreement includes a senior revolving credit facility amount of $200 million, including sub-limits 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 in the Credit Agreement. As of June 30, 2012, our borrowing capacity under this arrangement was $108.5 million in the United States and $17.2 million in Europe.

Until August 15, 2012, borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at a rate equal to (1) the Eurodollar Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus 2.00 percent or (2) the Base Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus 1.00 percent. After such date the applicable margins for the Eurodollar Rate and the Base Rate will be subject to adjustments based on average daily availability (as defined in the Credit Agreement), as set forth in the definition of the “Applicable Rate” in the Credit Agreement. The Applicable Rate is a reduction of 125 basis points from the rate in effect prior to the Amendment.

The Credit Agreement contains a conditional financial covenant that requires Imation Corp. to have a Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) during certain periods as described in the Credit Agreement and a liquidity requirement during certain periods as described in the Credit Agreement. Previously the Consolidated Fixed Coverage Ratio was set to be not less than 1.20 to 1.00, and the Amendment lowered such ratio to be not less than 1:00. The Amendment also changed the liquidity requirement to a domestic borrowing availability requirement of $30.0 million. We were in compliance with this financial covenant as of June 30, 2012.

During the six months ended June 30, 2012, we capitalized $2.6 million of debt issuance costs related to the Credit Agreement of which we paid $1.9 million and accrued $0.7 million. These costs were recorded to Other assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 30, 2012 and will be amortized over the term of the Credit Agreement.

We had no amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement as of June 30, 2012.

Note 12 — Fair Value Measurements

Derivative Financial Instruments

Cash Flow Hedges

We attempt to substantially mitigate the risk that forecasted cash flows denominated in foreign currencies may be adversely affected by changes in the currency exchange rates through the use of option, forward and combination option contracts. Gains and losses related to cash flow hedges are deferred in accumulated other comprehensive loss with a corresponding asset or liability. When the hedged transaction occurs, the gains and losses in accumulated other comprehensive

14

loss are reclassified into the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations in the same line as the item being hedged. The following table sets forth our cash flow hedges which are measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

	June 30, 2012							December 31, 2011
(In millions)	Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)			Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)		Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)			Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)

Total	$	—	$	2.1		$	—	$	—	$	2.0		$	—

Other Hedges

We use foreign currency forward contracts 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 forward contracts within other current assets or other current liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and changes in their value are recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. For the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, we recorded foreign currency losses of $0.7 million and $1.0 million, respectively, in Other Expenses, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. These losses reflect changes in foreign exchange rates on foreign denominated assets and liabilities and are net of losses of $0.5 million and $0.2 million from the related foreign currency forward contracts for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, we recorded foreign currency losses of $1.7 million and $1.9 million, respectively, in Other Expenses, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. These losses reflect changes in foreign exchange rates on foreign denominated assets and liabilities and are net of losses of $0.1 million and $0.1 million from the related foreign currency forward contracts for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

The notional amounts and fair values of our derivative instruments recorded in other current assets and other current liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements were as follows:

	June 30, 2012							December 31, 2011
			Fair Value							Fair Value
(In millions)	Notional Amount		Other Current Assets		Other Current Liabilities			Notional Amount		Other Current Assets		Other Current Liabilities
Cash flow hedges designated as hedging instruments	$	107.7	$	2.2	$	(0.1	)	$	208.2	$	3.4	$	(1.4	)
Other hedges not receiving hedge accounting	53.7		—		—			32.9		—		—
Total	$	161.4	$	2.2	$	(0.1	)	$	241.1	$	3.4	$	(1.4	)

On June 30, 2012 we entered into certain hedges not receiving hedge accounting treatment. In accordance with trade date accounting, these hedges and related exposures are recorded as of June 30, 2012, but do not have a value until the subsequent day.

Goodwill

We test the carrying amount of a reporting unit's goodwill for impairment on an annual basis during the fourth quarter of each year or if an event occurs or circumstances change that would warrant impairment testing during an interim period. In evaluating whether goodwill was impaired, we compare the estimated fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying value. The fair value measurement of goodwill is based on significant inputs not observable in the market and therefore represent Level 3 measurements. See Note 6 - Intangible Assets and Goodwill for further discussion of the goodwill impairment test performed during the second quarter of 2012.

In calculating the estimated fair value, we used the income approach, a valuation technique under which we estimate future cash flows using the reporting unit's financial forecasts. Our expected cash flows are affected by various significant assumptions, including the discount rate, revenue growth, gross margin percentage, and terminal value growth rate. Our

15

analysis utilized discounted forecasted cash flows over a 10 year period with an estimation of residual growth rates thereafter. We use our business plans and projections as the basis for expected future cash flows. A discount rate of 17.6 percent was used to reflect the relevant risks of the higher growth assumed for this reporting unit. The revenue growth rates in 2012 through 2014, which are forecasted to be between 30 to 35 percent annually during that time frame, are important assumptions within the fair value estimations. We utilized a terminal growth rate of 3.5 percent.

Contingent Consideration

Contingent consideration recorded for earn-out payments related to our acquisitions is recorded at fair value and remeasured on a recurring basis. We use the income approach in calculating the fair value of our contingent consideration as further described under the Goodwill section above. Changes in the fair value of our contingent consideration obligations are recognized as a fair value adjustment within restructuring and other in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. These fair value measurements are based on significant inputs not observable in the market and therefore represent Level 3 measurements. See Note 4 - Acquisitions for further discussion of the fair value calculation of our contingent consideration as of June 30, 2012.

Note 13 — Shareholders' Equity

Treasury Stock

On May, 2, 2012 our Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program of 5.0 million shares of common stock. For the three months ended June 30, 2012 we repurchased 0.4 million shares of common stock for $2.4 million and as of June 30, 2012 we had remaining authorization to repurchase up to 4.6 million shares. The treasury stock held as of June 30, 2012 was acquired at an average price of $25.16 per share.

Note 14 — 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 (loss). Revenue for each segment is generally based on customer location where the product is shipped. The operating income (loss) 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 results. Corporate and unallocated amounts include litigation settlement expense, goodwill impairment, intangible asset abandonment, research and development expense, corporate expense, stock-based compensation expense, inventory write-offs related to our restructuring programs and restructuring and other expenses which are not allocated to the segments.

Net revenue and operating income (loss) by segment were as follows:

	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended

We have three major product categories: traditional storage, secure and scalable storage, and audio and video information. Traditional storage products include optical products, magnetic products and other traditional storage media products. Optical products include primarily DVDs, CDs and Blu-ray disc recordable media. Magnetic products include primarily data storage tape media. Other traditional storage products include primarily optical drives and audio and video tape media. Secure and scalable storage products include flash memory and hard disk drive products, including encrypted and biometric universal serial bus (USB) drives, encrypted and biometric hard disk drives, secure portable desktop solutions, and software solutions, including products which contain various security features such as password authentication, encryption and remote manageability, RDX cartridges and drives, and data protection and data archive appliances. Audio and video information products include primarily audio electronics such as portable stereo systems, iPod® docking stations and accessories, and other accessories such as CD and DVD jewel cases and headphones.

Note 15 — Litigation, Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation

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 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 June 30, 2012, we are unable to ascertain with certainty 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 June 30, 2012 would not be material to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

On June 14, 2011, Trek 2000 International Ltd and certain of its affiliates (Trek) filed a complaint asking the International Trade Commission (ITC) to commence an investigation against us and various others. Trek alleged that Imation and others unlawfully import and sell into the United States certain USB portable storage devices that allegedly infringe several of Trek's U.S. patents. On August 15, 2011, we filed an answer to Trek's complaint, denying liability and asserting that Trek failed to meet certain requirements to bring its complaint to the ITC. A hearing with the ITC was scheduled for May 9, 2012. On May 8,

18

2012, Trek withdrew its complaint and terminated the investigation before the ITC.

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. In September 2011 we agreed to a settlement of $2.0 million which was paid during the six months ended June 30, 2012.

Copyright Levies

In many European Union (EU) member countries, the sale of recordable optical media is subject to a private copying levy. The levies are intended to compensate copyright holders with "fair compensation" for the harm caused by private copies made by natural persons of protected works under the European Copyright Directive, which became effective in 2002 (Directive). Levies are generally charged directly to the importer of the product upon the sale of the products. Payers of levies remit levy payments to collecting societies which in turn distribute funds to copyright holders. Levy systems of EU member countries must comply with the Directive, but individual member countries are responsible for administering their own systems. Since implementation, the levy systems have been the subject of numerous litigation and law making activities. On October 21, 2010, the European Court of Justice (ECJ) ruled that fair compensation is an autonomous European law concept that was introduced by the Directive and must be uniformly applied in all EU member states. The ECJ stated that fair compensation must be calculated based on the harm caused to the authors of protected works by private copying. The ECJ also stated that the indiscriminate application of the private copying levy to devices not made available to private users and clearly reserved for uses other than private copying is incompatible with the Directive. The ECJ ruling made clear that copyright holders are only entitled to fair compensation payments (funded by levy payments made by the Company) when sales of optical media are made to natural persons intending to make private copies. Based on this development, we began in 2010 withholding levy payments to various collecting societies. We continued to accrue a liability for levies arising from consumer sales. As of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, we had recorded a liability of $24.0 million and $19.7 million, respectively.

Since the October 2010 ECJ ruling, quarterly we evaluated on a country-by-country basis whether: (i) levies should be accrued on current period of commercial and/or consumer channel sales; and, (ii) levies accrued, but unpaid, on prior period sales should be reversed. Our evaluation is made on a jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction basis and considers ongoing and cumulative developments related to levy litigation and law making activities within each jurisdiction as well as throughout the EU. If we determine a levy obligation is remote, then, in the period of such determination we discontinue accruing current period levies and reverse previously accrued but unpaid amounts by reducing cost of goods sold in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, we did not reverse any amounts into cost of goods sold for prior year obligations. For the three and six months ending June 30, 2011, cost of goods sold was reduced by $3.4 million and $5.5 million, respectively, for the reversal of prior year obligations that were determined to be remote.

We are subject to several pending or threatened legal actions by the individual European national levy collecting societies. Those actions generally seek payment of the commercial and consumer optical levies withheld by Imation. Imation has corresponding claims in those actions seeking reimbursement of levies improperly collected by those collecting societies. Although these actions are subject to the uncertainties inherent in the litigation process, based on the information presently available to us, management does not expect that the ultimate resolution of these actions will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

• Operating loss was $10.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared with operating loss of $9.3

19

million in the same period last year.

Cash Flow/Financial Condition for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2012

• Cash and cash equivalents totaled $211.1 million as of June 30, 2012 compared with $223.1 million at December 31, 2011.

• Cash used in operating activities was $1.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared with cash used in operating activities of $15.3 million in the same period last year.

Outlook

Overall, we expect revenue in full year 2012 to decline when compared with full year 2011. There are several macro economic factors in play including the broad-based European economic downturn, a soft global IT environment, negative currency impacts and a weak U.S. retail environment. These factors make it particularly difficult to project operating income in 2012. In this environment we are also cautious about revenues, though, we continue to target that the Company will return to revenue growth as we exit 2012 and enter 2013.

(Dollars in millions)	2012		2011				2012		2011
Net revenue	$	270.6	$	323.0	(16.2	)%	$	552.3	$	639.5	(13.6	)%

Our worldwide revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2012 decreased compared with the same period last year, driven primarily by declines in our maturing traditional storage products, as well as several macro-economic factors including the broad-based European economic downturn, a soft global IT environment, negative currency impacts and a weak U.S. retail environment. Revenue from secure and scalable storage products decreased due to continued market place price degradation of commodity flash products. From a product perspective, the decrease in revenue included declines in traditional storage products of $44.6 million including $19.5 million from optical products, $16.0 million from magnetic products and $9.1 million from other traditional storage products such as audio/video tape, as well as secure and scalable products of $5.4 million and audio and video information products of $2.4 million.

Our worldwide revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2012 decreased compared with the same period last year, driven by factors described above. From a product perspective, the decrease in revenue included declines in traditional storage products of $74.4 million including $36.2 million from optical products, $21.1 million from magnetic products and $17.1 million from other traditional storage products, as well as $5.3 million from secure and scalable storage products and $7.5 million from audio and video information products. Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared with the same period last year was not significantly impacted by foreign currency translation.

20

Gross profit decreased for the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared with the same period last year primarily due to lower revenue in all major product categories, partially offset by higher gross margins on all major product categories. Gross profit during the three months ended June 30, 2011 benefited by levy benefits of $3.4 million.

Total gross margins increasedfor the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared with the same period last year due to a shift in product mix to higher gross margin products along with improved gross margins in secure and scalable storage and audio and video information products in addition to higher gross margins from all major product categories. Gross margins for traditional storage products rose 1.8 points to 19.8 percent of sales compared with the same period last year. Gross margins for secure and scalable storage products rose 6.5 points to 20.0 percent of sales compared with the same period last year, primarily due to a shift in product mix to products with higher gross margins such as mobile security. Gross margins for audio and video information products rose 2.0points to 16.5 percent of sales compared with the same period last year, primarily due to product mix as a result of revenue growth in higher margin headphones and cases.

Gross profit remained flat for the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared with the same period last year. Gross profit increased primarily due to higher gross profit from our optical products, secure and scalable storage products and audio and video information products, but was offset by lower revenue from all major product categories. Gross profit during the six months ended June 30, 2011 was aided by levy benefits of $5.5 million.

Total gross margins increased for the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared with the same period last year due to a shift in product mix to higher gross margin products along with improved gross margins in secure and scalable storage and audio and video information in addition to higher gross margins from all major product categories. Gross margins for traditional storage products rose 1.5 points to 20.1 percent of sales compared with the same period last year. Gross margins for secure and scalable storage products rose 6.5 points to 20.0 percent of sales compared with the same period last year due to favorable changes in product mix as a result of revenue growth in our mobile security products. Gross margins for audio and video information products rose 3.2 points to 17.0 percent of sales compared with the same period last year due to favorable changes in product mix as a result of revenue growth in higher margin headphones and cases.

SG&A expense increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 compared with the same periods last year primarily due to the additional ongoing SG&A expense of $3.8 million and $8.3 million, respectively, and intangible amortization of $0.8 million and $1.8 million, respectively, related to our acquired businesses. SG&A expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 benefited from the reversal of a bad debt reserve of $2.7 million.

R&D expense increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 compared with the same periods last year due to our acquisitions and investment to support growth initiatives in secure and scalable storage products.

Goodwill Impairment

There was no goodwill impairment charge for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012.

During 2011, we acquired the assets of MXI Security and the assets of Ironkey's secure data storage hardware business. These businesses, along with our Imation Defender brand, make up our Mobile Security reporting unit. The carrying value of our Mobile Security reporting unit includes $31.3 million of goodwill.

We test the carrying amount of a reporting unit's goodwill for impairment on an annual basis during the fourth quarter of each year. In addition, we also test goodwill for impairment if an event occurs or circumstances change that would warrant

21

impairment testing during an interim period. During the three months ended June 30, 2012, we adjusted our internal financial forecast for the Mobile Security reporting unit resulting in a change in timing of the expected cash flows, which we considered to be an event that warranted an interim test as to whether the goodwill was impaired.

In evaluating whether goodwill was impaired, we compared the estimated fair value of the Mobile Security reporting unit to its carrying value (Step 1 of the impairment test). In calculating the estimated fair value, we used the income approach, a valuation technique under which we estimate future cash flows using the reporting unit's financial forecasts. Our expected cash flows are affected by various significant assumptions, including the discount rate, revenue growth, gross margin percentage, and terminal value growth rate. Our analysis utilized discounted forecasted cash flows over a 10 year period with an estimation of residual growth rates thereafter. We use our business plans and projections as the basis for expected future cash flows. A discount rate of 17.6 percent was used to reflect the relevant risks of the higher growth assumed for this reporting unit. The revenue growth rates in 2012 through 2014, which are forecasted to be between 30 to 35 percent annually during that time frame, are important assumptions within the fair value estimations. We utilized a terminal growth rate of 3.5 percent.

This analysis indicates that this goodwill is not impaired. The projections utilized in the analysis reflect management's best assumptions regarding Mobile Security. To the extent that our projections or other assumptions about future economic conditions, the industry in which Mobile Security operates, or the potential for our growth and profitability in this business vary from actual results, it is possible that our conclusion regarding the recoverability of the remaining goodwill could change, which could have a material effect on our financial position and results of operations.

During the six months ended June 30, 2011, we acquired substantially all of the assets of Encryptx which resulted in goodwill of $1.6 million. The goodwill was allocated to our existing Americas-Commercial reporting unit. Based on an interim goodwill impairment test performed at March 31, 2011, we determined that 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 charge was recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2011 in restructuring and other in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Restructuring and other	$	4.3	$	10.4	(58.7	)%	$	5.6	$	11.3	(50.4	)%

Restructuring expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 was primarily related to our 2011 corporate strategy restructuring program. We incurred severance related costs of $2.4 million and $2.8 million, respectively, lease termination costs of $0.5 million and $0.5 million, respectively, and other restructuring charges of $0.2 million and $1.1 million, respectively.

Other charges during the three months ended June 30, 2012 totaled $1.2 million, including pension settlement charges of $1.5 million, accelerated amortization related to abandoned intangible assets of $1.3 million, acquisition and integration costs of $0.8 million and other charges of $0.4 million, partially offset by the adjustment to the fair value of the contingent consideration related to an acquisition of $2.8 million. Other charges during the three months ended March 31, 2012 totaled $0.7 million, including acquisition and integration related costs of $0.4 million and charges related to the demolition and site clean-up of our Camarillo, California facility of $0.3 million.

Restructuring expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 was related to our 2011 corporate strategy restructuring program and included severance related costs of $0.7 million and $1.3 million, respectively, lease termination costs of $0.2 million and $0.4 million, respectively, and other charges of $9.5 million and $9.6 million, respectively. Other charges during the three months ended June 30, 2012, primarily relate to the demolition of our Camarillo, California facility of $7.0 million, a pension settlement of $1.0 million and acquisition and transition costs of $1.2 million.

Other expense decreased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 compared with the same periods last year. Interest income was flat for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 compared with the same periods last year. Our interest expense decreased slightly for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 compared with the same periods last year due to lower amortization of capitalized fees related to securing our credit facility and decreased imputed interest related to our liability for a litigation settlement. Other, net includes foreign currency losses. 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.

Income Tax Provision (Benefit)

Effective tax rate	0.8		%	(5.9		)%			(3.9		)%	(13.9		)%

The change in the effective rate of income tax provision for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 compared with the same periods last year was primarily due to a full valuation allowance on U.S. deferred tax assets, the mix of taxable income (loss) by country and settlements with taxing authorities concluded during the second quarter of 2012. See Note 10 - Income Taxes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information about the valuation allowance related to the U.S. deferred tax assets. The tax benefit for three months ended June 30, 2012 was due primarily to the recognition of $0.7 million of previously recorded unrecognized tax benefits.

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 (loss). Revenue for each segment is generally based on customer location where the product is shipped. The operating income (loss) 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 results. Corporate and unallocated amounts include litigation settlement expense, goodwill impairment, intangible asset abandonment, research and development expense, corporate expense, stock-based compensation expense, inventory write-offs related to our restructuring programs and restructuring and other expenses which are not allocated to the segments.

In all of our segments, revenue declined for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 due to declines in our maturing traditional storage products, as well as several macro-economic factors including the broad-based European economic downturn and its effect on the rest of the world and a soft global IT environment. Revenue from secure and scalable storage decreased due to continued market place price degradation of commodity flash products.

Information related to our segments is as follows:

The Americas segment is our largest segment comprising 48.2 percent of our revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2012. The Americas segment revenue decreased 8.6 percent for the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared with the same period last year driven primarily by declines in our maturing traditional storage products as well as several macro-economic factors, along with a weak U.S. retail environment. From a product perspective, the decrease in revenue was driven by lower revenue from audio and video information products of $5.9 million, magnetic products of $4.6 million and optical products of $4.1 million, partially offset by higher revenue from secure and scalable storage products of $4.0 million. Revenue decreased 10.4 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared with the same period last year driven primarily by lower revenue from optical products of $15.8 million and audio and video information products of $14.5million, partially offset by higher revenue from secure and scalable storage products of $10.1 million.

Operating income increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 compared with the same period last year driven primarily by higher gross profit due to higher gross margins on optical media and secure and scalable storage products, partially offset by higher SG&A and R&D expenses.

The Europe segment revenue decreased 27.8 percent for the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared with the same period last year driven primarily by declines in our maturing traditional storage products as well as several macro-economic factors, along with the broad-based European economic downturn and unfavorable foreign currency impacts of seven percent. From a product perspective, the decrease in revenue was driven by lower revenue from optical products of $6.0 million, magnetic products of $5.7 million and secure and scalable storage products of $5.0million, driven principally by commodity flash products. Revenue decreased 17.2 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared with the same period last year driven primarily by lower revenue from magnetic products of $9.1 million, optical products of $7.5 million and secure and scalable storage products, principally commodity flash products, of $3.4 million. Revenue was negatively impacted six percent due to foreign currency.

Operating income decreased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 compared with the same period last year driven primarily by lower gross profit due to lower revenue. Operating income during the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 benefited from accrual reversals of $3.4 million and $5.5 million, respectively, related to levies.

The North Asia segment revenue decreased 20.0 percent for the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared with the same period last year driven primarily by declines in our maturing traditional storage products as well as several macro-economic factors. From a

24

product perspective, the decrease in revenue was driven primarily by lower revenue from optical products of $8.1 million and magnetic products of $4.2 million. Revenue was favorably impacted one percent due to foreign currency. Revenue during the three months ended June 30, 2011 was higher due to the impacts on our competitors from the earthquake and related events in Japan in 2011. Revenue decreased for the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared with the same period last year driven primarily by lower revenue from optical products of $13.5million and secure and scalable storage products of $4.3 million primarily related to commodity flash products. Revenue was favorably impacted two percent due to foreign currency.

Operating income decreased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 compared with the same period last year driven primarily by lower revenues on traditional data storage products and higher SG&A expense.

The corporate and unallocated operating income (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, intangible asset abandonment, R&D expense, corporate expense, stock-based compensation expense, inventory write-offs and restructuring and other expense. The corporate and unallocated operating loss decreased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 compared with the same period last year driven primarily by lower restructuring and other expense.

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 negatively impacted worldwide revenue by two and one percent for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively, compared with a six and four percent benefit to worldwide revenue for the same periods 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;

25

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 June 30, 2012 was $211.1 million, a decrease of $12.0 million from $223.1 million as of December 31, 2011. The decrease was primarily attributable to capital expenditures of $5.1 million, restructuring payments of $4.5 million, pension contributions of $2.8 million, a share repurchase of $2.4 million, a litigation settlement payment of $2.0 million, contingent consideration payments related to acquisitions of $1.2 million and other changes in working capital, partially offset by proceeds of $1.4 million from the sale of some of our assets held for sale.

Our accounts receivable balance as of June 30, 2012 was $190.5 million, a decrease of $44.4 million from $234.9 million as of December 31, 2011 as a result of seasonally lower sales during the period. Days sales outstanding was 59 days as of June 30, 2012, up 1 day from December 31, 2011. 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 June 30, 2012 was $196.8 million, a decrease of $12.0 million from $208.8 million as of December 31, 2011. Days of inventory supply was 79 days as of June 30, 2012, down 6 days from December 31, 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 June 30, 2012 was $162.8 million, a decrease of $42.4 million from $205.2 million as of December 31, 2011. The decrease in accounts payable was mainly due to reduced purchases compared to the previous quarter, as well as the timing of payments.

On May, 2, 2012 our Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program of 5.0 million shares of common stock which replaced our previous authorization. During the six months ended June 30, 2012 we repurchased 0.4 million shares. Since the authorization we have repurchased a total of 0.4 million shares and had 4.6 million shares remain outstanding under the authorization as of June 30, 2012.

We have a credit agreement with a group of banks (Credit Agreement) that was most recently amended on May 18, 2012 and expires May 18, 2017. The Credit Agreement includes a senior revolving credit facility amount of $200 million, including sub-limits 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 in the Credit Agreement. As of June 30, 2012, our borrowing capacity under this arrangement was $108.5 million in the United States and $17.2 million in Europe.

Until August 15, 2012, borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at a rate equal to (1) the Eurodollar Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus 2.00 percent or (2) the Base Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus 1.00 percent. After such date the applicable margins for the Eurodollar Rate and the Base Rate will be subject to adjustments based on average daily availability (as defined in the Credit Agreement), as set forth in the definition of the “Applicable Rate” in the Credit Agreement. The Applicable Rate is a reduction of 125 basis points from the rate in effect prior to the Amendment.

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. The Credit Agreement contains a conditional financial covenant that requires Imation Corp. to have a Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) during certain periods as described in the Credit Agreement and a liquidity requirement during certain periods as described in the Credit Agreement. Previously the Consolidated Fixed Coverage Ratio was set to be not less than 1.20 to 1.00, and the Amendment lowered such ratio to be not less than 1:00. The Amendment also changed the liquidity requirement to a domestic borrowing availability requirement of $30.0 million. We were in compliance with all covenants as of June 30, 2012.

Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear a variable rate of interest which during the six months ended June 30, 2012 would have been approximately 5.0 percent. However, we did not have borrowings under the Credit Agreement during the six months ended June 30, 2012.

Our liquidity needs for the remaining six months of 2012 as of June 30, 2012 include the following: restructuring payments of approximately $2 million to $7 million, capital expenditures of approximately $4 million to $7 million, pension funding of approximately $3 million to $6 million, operating lease payments of approximately $4 million, litigation settlement payments of $16.5 million, any 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.

On July 13, 2012, we made the final $16.5 million payment associated with the settlement agreement of our litigation with Philips Electronics N.V., U.S. Philips Corporation and North American Philips Corporation.

Contractual Obligations

As of June 30, 2012, there have been no material changes to our contractual obligations as of December 31, 2011 as

27

presented in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.

Copyright Levies

In many European Union (EU) member countries, the sale of recordable optical media is subject to a private copying levy. The levies are intended to compensate copyright holders with "fair compensation" for the harm caused by private copies made by natural persons of protected works under the European Copyright Directive, which became effective in 2002 (Directive). Levies are generally charged directly to the importer of the product upon the sale of the products. Payers of levies remit levy payments to collecting societies which in turn distribute funds to copyright holders. Levy systems of EU member countries must comply with the Directive, but individual member countries are responsible for administering their own systems. Since implementation, the levy systems have been the subject of numerous litigation and law making activities. On October 21, 2010, the European Court of Justice (ECJ) ruled that fair compensation is an autonomous European law concept that was introduced by the Directive and must be uniformly applied in all EU member states. The ECJ stated that fair compensation must be calculated based on the harm caused to the authors of protected works by private copying. The ECJ also stated that the indiscriminate application of the private copying levy to devices not made available to private users and clearly reserved for uses other than private copying is incompatible with the Directive. The ECJ ruling made clear that copyright holders are only entitled to fair compensation payments (funded by levy payments made by the Company) when sales of optical media are made to natural persons intending to make private copies. Based on this development, we began in 2010 withholding levy payments to various collecting societies. We continued to accrue a liability for levies arising from consumer sales. As of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, we had recorded a liability of $24.0 million and $19.7 million, respectively.

Since the October 2010 ECJ ruling, quarterly we evaluated on a country-by-country basis whether: (i) levies should be accrued on current period of commercial and/or consumer channel sales; and, (ii) levies accrued, but unpaid, on prior period sales should be reversed. Our evaluation is made on a jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction basis and considers ongoing and cumulative developments related to levy litigation and law making activities within each jurisdiction as well as throughout the EU. If we determine a levy obligation is remote, then, in the period of such determination we discontinue accruing current period levies and reverse previously accrued but unpaid amounts by reducing cost of goods sold in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, we did not reverse any amounts into cost of goods sold for prior year obligations. For the three and six months ending June 30, 2011, cost of goods sold was reduced by $3.4 million and $5.5 million, respectively, for the reversal of prior year obligations that were determined to be remote.

We are subject to several pending or threatened legal actions by the individual European national levy collecting societies. Those actions generally seek payment of the commercial and consumer optical levies withheld by Imation. Imation has corresponding claims in those actions seeking reimbursement of levies improperly collected by those collecting societies. Although these actions are subject to the uncertainties inherent in the litigation process, based on the information presently available to us, management does not expect that the ultimate resolution of these actions will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

A discussion of the Company’s critical accounting policies was provided in Item 7 in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011. There were no significant changes to these accounting policies for the first six months of 2012.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

See Note 2 - Recently Issued or Adopted Accounting Pronouncements to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 herein for further information.

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 (SEC) and in our reports to shareholders.

Certain information which does not relate to historical financial information may be deemed to constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The words or phrases "is targeting," "will likely result," "are expected to," "will continue," "is anticipated," "estimate," "project," "believe," or similar expressions

28

identify "forward looking statements." 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 ability of our data security products to withstand cyber-attacks; the ability to quickly develop, source, introduce and deliver differentiating and innovative products; our potential dependence on third parties for new product introductions or technologies in order to introduce our own new products; the ready availability and price of energy and key raw materials or critical components including due to the effects of natural disasters and our ability to pass along raw materials price increases to our customers; continuing uncertainty in global and regional economic conditions including adverse effects of the ongoing sovereign debt crisis in Europe, increased Euro currency exchange rate volatility, and related austerity measures and their potential impact on European economic growth; our ability to identify, value, integrate and realize the expected benefits from any acquisition which has occurred or may occur in connection with our strategy; the possibility that our goodwill or any goodwill that we acquire may become impaired; the seasonality and volatility of the markets in which we operate; foreign currency fluctuations; changes in European law or practice related to the imposition or collectability of optical levies; significant changes in discount rates and other assumptions used in the valuation of our pension plans; the possibility that our intangible assets may become impaired; acquisition related contingent consideration, which is recorded at fair value and revalued each period, differs from the obligation recorded during the previous period resulting in income or expense being recorded on the Consolidated Statements of Operations; changes in tax laws, regulations and results of inspections by various tax authorities; 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 outcome of any pending or future litigation; failure to adequately protect our information systems from cyber-attacks; our ability to meet our revenue growth, gross margin and earnings targets and the volatility of our stock price due to our results or market trends, as well as various other factors set forth in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011 and from time to time in our filings with the SEC.

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, 2011. 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, 2011.

As of June 30, 2012 we had $161.4 million notional amount of foreign currency forward and option contracts of which $53.7 million hedged recorded balance sheet exposures. This compares to $241.1 million notional amount of foreign currency forward and option contracts as of December 31, 2011, of which $32.9 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 June 30, 2012 by $1.3 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 June 30, 2012, 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 June 30, 2012, 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.

29

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 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 June 30, 2012, we are unable to ascertain with certainty with certainty 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 June 30, 2012 would not be material to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

On June 14, 2011, Trek 2000 International Ltd and certain of its affiliates (Trek) filed a complaint asking the International Trade Commission (ITC) to commence an investigation against us and various others. Trek alleged that Imation and others unlawfully import and sell into the United States certain USB portable storage devices that allegedly infringe several of Trek's U.S. patents. On August 15, 2011, we filed an answer to Trek's complaint, denying liability and asserting that Trek failed to meet certain requirements to bring its complaint to the ITC. A hearing with the ITC was scheduled for May 9, 2012. On May 8, 2012, Trek withdrew its complaint and terminated the investigation before the ITC.

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. In September 2011 we agreed to a settlement of $2.0 million which was paid during the six months ended June 30, 2012.

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, 2011. For further information, see Item 1A. “Risk Factors” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011.

SECTION 7. ELECTIONS TO RECEIVE COMMON STOCK OR RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS

(a)Elections.

(i)Common Stock. Each Eligible Director who is not covered by clause (iii) below, may elect to receive, in lieu of a cash payment for his or her Basic Fee, Chairperson Fee, Non-Executive Chairman Fee and/or Meeting Fees (or a portion thereof, as elected by the Eligible Director), a number of shares of Common Stock (excluding fractional shares, which shall be paid in cash (or carried over to the next payment if an Eligible Director elects to be paid all in Common Stock)), which is calculated by dividing his or her Basic Fee, Chairperson Fee, Non-Executive Chairman Fee and/or Meeting Fees (or a portion thereof), by the Fair Market Value of one share of Common Stock on the Accounting Date or Quarterly Payment Date, as applicable. To be effective, any such election shall be made by submitting a completed and executed Election Form to the Secretary of the Company prior to the relevant Accounting Date or Quarterly Payment Date, as applicable.

(ii)Restricted Stock Units. Each Eligible Director who is not covered by clause (iii) below, may elect to receive, in lieu of cash payment for his or her Basic Fee, Chairperson Fee, Non-Executive Chairman Fee and/or Meeting Fees, Restricted Stock Units (including fractional Restricted Stock Units) calculated by dividing his or her Basic Fee, Chairperson Fee, Non-Executive Chairman Fee and/or Meeting Fees (or a portion thereof, as elected by the Eligible Director) for services to be performed in the following the calendar year by the Fair Market Value of one share of Common Stock on the Accounting Date or Quarterly Payment Date, as applicable. To be effective, any such election relating to the Basic Fee, Chairperson Fee, Non-Executive Chairman Fee or Meeting Fees shall be made by submitting a completed and executed Election Form to the Secretary of the Company prior to the calendar year in which the Eligible Director wishes the election to be in effect and such election shall be irrevocable for such calendar year.

(iii)New Directors. Each Eligible Director who during the preceding twenty-four (24) months has not participated in any deferred compensation arrangement of the Company or any Affiliate that would be treated as a single plan with this Plan under Treas. Reg. Sec. 1.409A-1(c)(2)(i) and who joins the Board between annual meetings of stockholders may elect prior to first becoming an Eligible Director to receive, in lieu of cash payment for his or her Basic Fee, Chairperson Fee and/or Non-Executive Chairman Fee, a number of shares of Common Stock (excluding fractional shares, which shall be paid in cash (or carried over to the next payment if an Eligible Director elects to be paid all in Common Stock)) and/or Restricted Stock Units (including fractional Restricted Stock Units) up to the number which is calculated by (A) multiplying the sum of his or her Basic Fee, Chairperson Fee, Non-Executive Chairman Fee (or a portion thereof, as elected by the Eligible Director) payable with respect to the time prior to the next annual meeting of stockholders which the Eligible Director is first elected to the Board by the Proration Fraction and (B) dividing the product resulting from clause (A) by the Fair Market Value of one share of

Common Stock on the date that the Eligible Director becomes an Eligible Director. Each Eligible Director may also elect to receive, in lieu of cash payment for his or her Meeting Fees (or a portion thereof, as elected by the Eligible Director), Common Stock (excluding fractional shares, which shall be paid in cash (or carried over to the next payment if an Eligible Director elects to be paid all in Common Stock)) Restricted Stock Units (including fractional Restricted Stock Units) calculated by dividing his or her Meeting Fees (or portion thereof) by the Fair Market Value of one share of Common Stock on the Quarterly Payment Date. To be effective, any such election shall be made by submitting a completed and executed Election Form to the Secretary of the Company prior to the date that the Eligible Director becomes a Director, and such Election Form shall be irrevocable on the date he or she first becomes an Eligible Director for that calendar year with respect to any election (or lack of election) to receive Restricted Stock Units.

(b)Restricted Stock Units.

(i)Account. Upon the grant of Restricted Stock Units to an Eligible Director, such units shall be credited to an account established for such Eligible Director. A Restricted Stock Unit shall be treated as granted on the corresponding Accounting Date or last day of the calendar quarter relating to the fees for which the Restricted Stock Units are determined. Each Eligible Director shall receive an annual statement showing the number of Restricted Stock Units that have been credited to the Eligible Director's account under the Program.

(ii) Dividend Equivalent Credits. An Eligible Director's account shall be credited with Dividend Equivalent Credits equivalent to the amount of dividends paid by the Company to holders of outstanding shares of Common Stock based on the number of Restricted Stock Units credited to the Eligible Director's account on the dividend record date for shares of Common Stock. Such Dividend Equivalent Credit shall be converted into an equivalent number of Restricted Stock Units (including fractional Restricted Stock Units) based on the fair market value of one share of Common Stock on the related dividend payment date and such Restricted Stock Units shall be subject to the same distribution timing as the underlying Restricted Stock Units to which the Dividend Equivalent Credits related. If a dividend is paid in cash, each Eligible Director shall be credited, as of each applicable dividend payment date, in accordance with the following formula:

(A X B) / C

in which “A” equals the number of Restricted Stock Units held by the Eligible Director on the dividend record date, “B” equals the cash dividend per share and “C” equals the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on the dividend payment date. If a dividend is paid in property other than cash, Dividend Equivalent Credits shall be credited, as of the applicable dividend payment date, in accordance with the formula set forth above, except that “B” shall equal the fair market value per share of the property that the Eligible Director would have received in respect of the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Restricted Stock Units held by the Eligible Director as of the dividend record date, had such shares been owned by the Eligible Director as of the record date for such dividend.

(iii)Time of Payment. All payments in respect of an Eligible Director's Restricted Stock Units shall be made as soon as practicable but not more than ninety (90) days following the earlier of (A) the Eligible Director's death (B) the occurrence of a Change in Control, and (C) the specific date (including upon the Eligible Director's Separation from Service) the Eligible Director has elected to receive payment pursuant to the applicable Election Form pursuant to which such Eligible Director elected to receive such Restricted Stock Units in lieu of cash. If distribution is to

be made upon a Separation from Service and the individual is a “specified employee,” as defined under Code section 409A, on the date of such Separation from Service, then no distribution will be made before the date that is six (6) months after the date of the individual's Separation from Services, or if earlier, upon his or her death.

(iv)Form of Payment. Payment in respect of Restricted Stock Units shall be made in one lump sum payment in the form of shares of Common Stock. For purposes of the preceding sentence, any payment made upon the occurrence of a Change in Control in full or partial payment of Restricted Stock Units shall be made in cash in an amount equal the Change in Control Price multiplied by the number of Restricted Stock Units (including fractional units).

(c)Stock Plan.

All shares of Common Stock and all Restricted Stock Units awarded pursuant to this Section 7 shall be awarded under, and in accordance with, the terms of the Stock Plan. Restricted Stock Units awarded hereunder shall be considered Other Stock-Based Awards under the Plan.

SECTION 8. CHANGE IN CONTROL

(a)For purposes of this Section 8, “Act” shall mean the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

(b)For purposes of the Program, a “Change in Control” of the Company shall be deemed to have occurred if any one of the following events shall occur:

(i)the consummation of a transaction or series of related transactions during a 12-month period in which a person, entity or group (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the Act) that owns (after application of the attribution rules of Section 318 of the Code) less than 35% of the combined voting power of the Company's outstanding voting stock prior to such transaction or the first of such series of related transactions), other than the Company or a subsidiary of the Company, or any employee benefit plan of the Company or a subsidiary of the Company, acquires ownership (after application of the attribution rules of Section 318 of the Code) of 35% or more of the combined voting power of the Company's then outstanding voting stock (other than in connection with a Business Combination in which clauses (1) and (2) of Section 8(b) (iii) apply); or

(ii)a majority of the members of the Company's Board of Directors is replaced during any 12-month period by directors whose appointment or election is not endorsed by a majority of the members of the Company's Board of Directors prior to the date of the election or appointment; or

(iii)the consummation of a reorganization, merger, statutory share exchange, consolidation or similar transaction involving the Company, a sale or other disposition in a transaction or series of related transactions within a 12-month period of all or substantially all of the Company's assets or the issuance by the Company of its stock in connection with the acquisition of assets or stock of another entity (each, a “Business Combination”) in each case unless, following such Business Combination, (1) all or substantially all of the individuals and entities that were the owners of the Company's outstanding voting stock immediately prior to such Business Combination own (after application of the attribution rules of Section 318 of the Code) immediately after the transaction or transactions more than 50% of the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting stock (or comparable equity interests) of the entity resulting from such

Business Combination (including an entity that, as a result of such transaction, owns the Company or all or substantially all of the Company's assets either directly or through one of more subsidiaries), and (2) no person, entity or group (other than a direct or indirect parent entity of the Company that, after giving effect to the Business Combination, beneficially owns 100% of the outstanding voting securities (or comparable equity interests) of the entity resulting from the Business Combination) has acquired, during a 12-month period, ownership (after application of the attribution rules of Section 318 of the Code) of 35% or more of the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting stock (or comparable equity interests) of the entity resulting from such Business Combination.

Notwithstanding anything herein stated, no Change in Control shall be deemed to occur unless such event constitutes a change in ownership or effective control, or a change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets, of a business under Code section 409A.

SECTION 9. AMENDMENT; TERMINATION

The Board may at any time and from time to time alter, amend, suspend, or terminate the Program in whole or in part; provided, however, that no amendment which requires stockholder approval in order for the exemptions available under Rule 16b-3 to be applicable to the Program and the Eligible Directors shall be effective unless the same shall be approved by the stockholders of the Company entitled to vote thereon.

SECTION 10. RIGHTS OF ELIGIBLE DIRECTORS

Nothing contained in the Program or with respect to any grant shall interfere with or limit in any way the right of the stockholders of the Company to remove any Eligible Director from the Board pursuant to the bylaws of the Company, nor confer upon any Eligible Director any right to continue in the service of the Company as a director.

SECTION 11. GENERAL RESTRICTIONS

(a)Investment Representations. The Company may require any Eligible Director to whom Common Stock is issued, as a condition of receiving such Common Stock, to give written assurances in substance and form satisfactory to the Company and its counsel to the effect that such person is acquiring the Common Stock for his or her own account for investment and not with any present intention of selling or otherwise distributing the same, and to such other effects as the Company deems necessary or appropriate in order to comply with federal and applicable state securities laws.

(b)Compliance with Securities Laws. Each issuance shall be subject to the requirement that, if at any time counsel to the Company shall determine that the listing, registration or qualification of the shares upon any securities exchange or under any state or federal law, or the consent or approval of any governmental or regulatory body, is necessary as a condition of, or in connection with, the issuance of shares thereunder, such issuance may not be accepted or exercised in whole or in part unless such listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval shall have been effected or obtained on conditions acceptable to the Committee. Nothing herein shall be deemed to require the Company to apply for or to obtain such listing, registration or qualification.

(c)Nontransferability. Except as otherwise provided by the Committee, Restricted Stock Units under this Program shall not be transferable by an Eligible Director other than by the laws of descent and distribution.

(d)No Acceleration of Distribution of Restricted Stock Units. The distribution of Restricted Stock Units may not be accelerated, including upon termination of the Program, if such acceleration would cause the distribution to become subject to tax under Code Section 409A.

SECTION 12. WITHHOLDING

The Company may defer making payments or delivering shares of Common Stock under the Program for up to 30 days to ensure that satisfactory arrangements have been made for the payment of any federal, state or local income or employment taxes that the Company reasonably determines in its sole discretion are required to be withheld with respect to such payment or delivery.

SECTION 13. GOVERNING LAW

The Program and all rights hereunder shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the internal law, and not the law of conflicts, of the State of Delaware.

SECTION 14. UNFUNDED PROGRAM

The Program shall be unfunded and shall not create (or be construed to create) a trust or a separate fund or funds. The Program shall not establish any fiduciary relationship between the Company and any Eligible Director or other person. To the extent any person holds any rights by virtue of a grant under the Program, such right shall be no greater than the right of an unsecured general creditor of the Company.

SECTION 15. HEADINGS

The headings of sections and subsections herein are included solely for convenience of reference and shall not affect the meaning of any of the provisions of the Program.

Acquisitions

On October 4, 2011, we acquired the secure data storage hardware of IronKey Systems Inc. (IronKey) for a cash payment of $19.0 million. During the three months ended June 30, 2012, we recorded an adjustment to the purchase price related to working capital in the amount of $0.6 million. As the purchase accounting for this acquisition was finalized in 2011, the adjustment was recorded as a charge to restructuring and other in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012.

On June 4, 2011, we acquired the assets of MXI Security, a leader in high-security and privacy technologies, from Memory Experts International Inc., (MXI). The purchase price included future contingent consideration totaling between $0.0 and $45.0 million with an estimated fair value of $9.2 million at the time of the acquisition. The amount of contingent consideration was to be based on incremental revenue and gross margin percent from MXI and MXI-based Defender branded products.

During the second quarter of 2012, the MXI Security contingent consideration agreement was amended in light of the IronKey acquisition that occurred late in 2011. Under the amended agreement, the amount of contingent consideration will continue to range between $0.0 and $45.0 million, and will be based on incremental gross profit (revenue less cost of goods sold) and gross margin percent from MXI branded products, IronKey products and all other Defender branded products as well as future Imation Mobile Security products. Actual payments under the amended contingent consideration agreement could occur in three separate periods of time until the agreement expires on December 31, 2013. The first and the second earn-out payments each range between $0.0 and $25.0 million with the sum of the first and second payments being up to a maximum of $25.0 million. The first earn-out payment was not achieved.

We remeasure the remaining contingent consideration each reporting period. At June 30, 2012, the estimated fair value of this contingent consideration obligation was determined to be $6.4 million, resulting in a decrease of $2.8 million which was recorded as a benefit in restructuring and other in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012. See Note 12 - Fair Value Measurements for further discussion of our valuation technique.

On February 28, 2011 we acquired substantially all of the assets of BeCompliant Corporation, doing business as Encryptx (Encryptx). The purchase price included future contingent consideration with an estimated fair value of $1.3 million at the time of the acquisition. During the six months ended June 30, 2012, we paid $0.7 million of the consideration. The final contingent consideration payment will be determined based on certain 2012 milestones and any amount due will be paid during the first quarter of 2013. Based on our analysis of fair value as of June 30, 2012, the fair value of the remaining consideration did not change significantly.

(Loss) Earnings per Common Share

6 Months Ended

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]

(Loss) Earnings per Common Share

(Loss) Earnings per Common Share

Basic (loss) earnings per common share is calculated using the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the period. Diluted (loss) earnings per common 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. Once restricted stock vests, it is included in our common shares outstanding.

Potential common shares are excluded from the computation of diluted (loss) earnings per common share when the effect would be anti-dilutive. All potential common shares are anti-dilutive in periods of net loss available to common shareholders. Stock options are anti-dilutive when the exercise price of these instruments is greater than the average market price of the Company's common stock for the period.

The following table sets forth the computation of the weighted average basic and diluted (loss) earnings per share:

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, comprehensive loss 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 (U.S. GAAP) 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, 2011 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet data was derived from the audited Consolidated Financial Statements but does not include all disclosures required by 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, 2011.

New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting Principles [Abstract]

Recently Issued or Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

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 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 Imation for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed beginning January 1, 2012 and did not have a material impact on our financial position and results of operations.

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. In December 2011, the FASB amended this guidance to indefinitely defer provisions which required entities to present reclassification adjustments out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component in both the statement in which net income is presented and the statement in which other comprehensive income is presented. This guidance was effective for Imation for our first quarter ended March 31, 2012 and did not have a material impact on our financial position and results of operations.

In May 2011, the FASB issued amended disclosure requirements to provide a consistent definition of fair value and ensure 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 was effective for Imation for our first quarter ended March 31, 2012 and did not have a material impact on our financial position and results of operations.

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.

Cash Flow Hedges

We attempt to substantially mitigate the risk that forecasted cash flows denominated in foreign currencies may be adversely affected by changes in the currency exchange rates through the use of option, forward and combination option contracts. Gains and losses related to cash flow hedges are deferred in accumulated other comprehensive loss with a corresponding asset or liability. When the hedged transaction occurs, the gains and losses in accumulated other comprehensive loss are reclassified into the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations in the same line as the item being hedged. The following table sets forth our cash flow hedges which are measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

Other Hedges

We use foreign currency forward contracts 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 forward contracts within other current assets or other current liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and changes in their value are recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. For the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, we recorded foreign currency losses of $0.7 million and $1.0 million, respectively, in Other Expenses, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. These losses reflect changes in foreign exchange rates on foreign denominated assets and liabilities and are net of losses of $0.5 million and $0.2 million from the related foreign currency forward contracts for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, we recorded foreign currency losses of $1.7 million and $1.9 million, respectively, in Other Expenses, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. These losses reflect changes in foreign exchange rates on foreign denominated assets and liabilities and are net of losses of $0.1 million and $0.1 million from the related foreign currency forward contracts for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

The notional amounts and fair values of our derivative instruments recorded in other current assets and other current liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements were as follows:

	June 30, 2012							December 31, 2011
			Fair Value							Fair Value

Total	$	161.4	$	2.2	$	(0.1	)	$	241.1	$	3.4	$	(1.4	)

On June 30, 2012 we entered into certain hedges not receiving hedge accounting treatment. In accordance with trade date accounting, these hedges and related exposures are recorded as of June 30, 2012, but do not have a value until the subsequent day.

Goodwill

We test the carrying amount of a reporting unit's goodwill for impairment on an annual basis during the fourth quarter of each year or if an event occurs or circumstances change that would warrant impairment testing during an interim period. In evaluating whether goodwill was impaired, we compare the estimated fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying value. The fair value measurement of goodwill is based on significant inputs not observable in the market and therefore represent Level 3 measurements. See Note 6 - Intangible Assets and Goodwill for further discussion of the goodwill impairment test performed during the second quarter of 2012.

In calculating the estimated fair value, we used the income approach, a valuation technique under which we estimate future cash flows using the reporting unit's financial forecasts. Our expected cash flows are affected by various significant assumptions, including the discount rate, revenue growth, gross margin percentage, and terminal value growth rate. Our analysis utilized discounted forecasted cash flows over a 10 year period with an estimation of residual growth rates thereafter. We use our business plans and projections as the basis for expected future cash flows. A discount rate of 17.6 percent was used to reflect the relevant risks of the higher growth assumed for this reporting unit. The revenue growth rates in 2012 through 2014, which are forecasted to be between 30 to 35 percent annually during that time frame, are important assumptions within the fair value estimations. We utilized a terminal growth rate of 3.5 percent.

Contingent Consideration

Contingent consideration recorded for earn-out payments related to our acquisitions is recorded at fair value and remeasured on a recurring basis. We use the income approach in calculating the fair value of our contingent consideration as further described under the Goodwill section above. Changes in the fair value of our contingent consideration obligations are recognized as a fair value adjustment within restructuring and other in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. These fair value measurements are based on significant inputs not observable in the market and therefore represent Level 3 measurements. See Note 4 - Acquisitions for further discussion of the fair value calculation of our contingent consideration as of June 30, 2012.

2011 Corporate Strategy Restructuring Program

On January 31, 2011, the Board of Directors approved the 2011 corporate strategy restructuring program which is described in detail in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 we recorded restructuring charges of $3.1 million and 3.8 million, respectively, associated with this program. These charges were primarily associated with severance and, to a lesser extent, lease termination and other costs and were included in restructuring and other in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Since the inception of this program, we have recorded a total of $13.2 million of severance and related expenses, $3.5 million of lease termination and modification costs, $1.6 million of inventory write-offs, $0.3 million related to a pension curtailment charge and $0.7 million of other charges. Inventory write-offs are included in cost of goods sold in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

(In millions)	2012		2011		2012		2011
Amortization expense	$	7.3	$	6.2	$	14.5	$	12.2

During the three months ended June 30, 2012, we accelerated the amortization of several intangible assets due to certain business decisions to abandon the intangible assets during the quarter. These intangible assets had a carrying value of $1.3 million. The $1.3 million of accelerated amortization was recorded in restructuring and other in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

On December 20, 2011 we acquired intellectual property and other assets, from Nine Technology, LLC (Nine Technology). The purchase price included future contingent consideration of $1.0 million based on certain 2012 milestones of which $0.5 million was paid in 2011. During the six months ended June 30, 2012, we paid the remaining $0.5 million contingent consideration payment.

Goodwill

During 2011, we acquired the assets of MXI Security and the assets of Ironkey's secure data storage hardware business. These businesses, along with our Imation Defender brand, make up our Mobile Security reporting unit. The carrying value of our Mobile Security reporting unit includes $31.3 million of goodwill.

We test the carrying amount of a reporting unit's goodwill for impairment on an annual basis during the fourth quarter of each year. In addition, we also test goodwill for impairment if an event occurs or circumstances change that would warrant impairment testing during an interim period. During the three months ended June 30, 2012, we adjusted our internal financial forecast for the Mobile Security reporting unit resulting in a change in timing of the expected cash flows, which we considered to be an event that warranted an interim test as to whether the goodwill was impaired. In evaluating whether goodwill was impaired, we compared the estimated fair value of the Mobile Security reporting unit to its carrying value (Step 1 of the impairment test). See Note 12 - Fair Value Measurements for further discussion of our valuation technique.

This analysis indicates that this goodwill is not impaired. The projections utilized in the analysis reflect management's best assumptions regarding Mobile Security. To the extent that our projections or other assumptions about future economic conditions, the industry in which Mobile Security operates, or the potential for our growth and profitability in this business vary from actual results, it is possible that our conclusion regarding the recoverability of the remaining goodwill could change, which could have a material effect on our financial position and results of operations.

During the six months ended June 30, 2011, we acquired substantially all of the assets of Encryptx which resulted in goodwill of $1.6 million. The goodwill was allocated to our existing Americas-Commercial reporting unit. Based on an interim goodwill impairment test performed at March 31, 2011, we determined that 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 charge was recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2011 in restructuring and other in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]

Segment Information

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 (loss). Revenue for each segment is generally based on customer location where the product is shipped. The operating income (loss) 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 results. Corporate and unallocated amounts include litigation settlement expense, goodwill impairment, intangible asset abandonment, research and development expense, corporate expense, stock-based compensation expense, inventory write-offs related to our restructuring programs and restructuring and other expenses which are not allocated to the segments.

Net revenue and operating income (loss) by segment were as follows:
