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, 2013 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, 2013.

The operating results of our former XtremeMac^TM andMemorex^TM consumer electronics businesses are presented in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations as discontinued operations for all periods presented. See Note 4 - Acquisitions and Divestitures for further information on these divestitures.

Note 2 — Recently Issued or Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

Management has assessed the potential impact of accounting standards that have been issued but are not yet effective and has determined that no such standards are expected to have a material impact to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Note 3 — (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 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 basic 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. 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. All potential common shares are anti-dilutive in periods of net loss available to common shareholders.

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

Note 4 — Acquisitions and Divestitures

Discontinued Operations

On January 31, 2014 we completed the sale of our XtremeMac consumer electronics business for $3.1 million of total consideration consisting of a down payment of $0.3 million and two separate notes receivable from the purchaser payable over 2014 and 2015. The sale of this business resulted in a loss of $0.5 million which was recorded in discontinued operations for the three months ended March 31, 2014.

On October 15, 2013 we completed the sale of the Memorex consumer electronics business for $9.3 million of total consideration consisting of two separate notes receivable from the purchaser. We received a payment on the first note receivable of $0.9 million during the fourth quarter of 2013. The remaining notes receivable balances are recorded at their estimated fair value totaling $7.1 million of which $3.1 million is due during the next twelve months.

These divestitures are part of the acceleration of our strategic transformation that we announced during the fourth quarter of 2012. The operating results for the businesses sold are presented in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations as discontinued operations for all periods presented and reflect revenues and expenses that are directly attributable to these businesses that have been eliminated from ongoing operations. The consumer storage business under the Memorex and TDK Life on Record^TM brands and the consumer electronics business under the TDK Life on Record brand have been retained.

The key components of discontinued operations were as follows:

Amortization expense	$	9.4	$	11.9	$	8.5	$	7.7	$	6.3

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 and during an interim period if an event occurs or circumstances change that would warrant impairment testing.

For our Storage Solutions reporting unit, our actual results for the three months ended March 31, 2014 were lower than originally planned as revenues that we had expected late in the first quarter did not materialize. We determined this to be a triggering event requiring us to review our goodwill for impairment as of March 31, 2014. For the impairment test, the estimated fair value of the reporting unit exceeded the carrying value in Step 1 of the impairment test by 24.7 percent, resulting in no impairment as of March 31, 2014. This excess of estimated fair value over carrying value is a decrease of 1.0 percentage point from the 25.7 percent excess that resulted in the test performed during the fourth quarter of 2013. In determining the estimated fair value of the reporting unit, we used the income approach, a valuation technique under which we estimate future cash flows using the reporting unit's financial forecasts and the market approach, a valuation technique that provides an estimate of the value of the reporting unit based on a comparison to other similar businesses.

We used forecasted cash flows over a ten year period, a terminal growth rate of 3.0 percent and a discount rate of 13.5 percent. The discount rate reflects the relative risk of achieving cash flows as well as any other specific risks or factors related to the Storage Solutions reporting unit. We calculated the impact of a potential change in our assumptions to determine the impact on the results of the impairment test. Holding all other assumptions constant, an unfavorable change in various components of our projected cash flows of 3.0 percent or less would potentially result in an indication of impairment. Additionally, a decrease in the residual growth rate of less than 2.0 basis points and an increase in the discount rate of less than 1.0 basis point would potentially result in an indication of impairment.

In reviewing the outlook for this reporting unit, although the first quarter 2014 results were lower than expected, we presently believe our longer-term forecast for our Storage Solutions reporting unit generally has not changed. We believe that the lower than expected results for the first quarter of 2014 are due to certain temporal factors including delays in hiring of sales force personnel, delays in purchasing from some of our larger customers and continued impacts from reductions in government spending. We continue to believe significant growth in our storage solutions revenues will occur and we are investing to facilitate this growth with hiring of sales personnel, introducing new products and promoting the Nexsan brand globally. While our current projections support no impairment of this reporting unit as of March 31, 2014, given that our first quarter 2014 results fell below expectations and the sensitivities to the assumptions used in the calculation of the estimated cash flows, it is reasonably possible that an impairment could be incurred in the future. We will continue to closely monitor our results and expected cash flows in the future to assess whether a goodwill impairment in our Storage Solutions reporting unit may be necessary. The Storage Solutions reporting unit contains $64.1 million of goodwill as of March 31, 2014.

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:

¹Other includes certain employee costs and consulting fees.

During the three months ended March 31, 2013, severance expense of $1.1 million, related to employees directly associated with the XtremeMac and Memorex consumer electronics businesses, was recorded in discontinued operations. See Note 4 - Acquisitions and Divestituresfor more information on our discontinued operations. This expense is excluded from the table above.

2012 Global Process Improvement Restructuring Program

On October 22, 2012, the Board of Directors approved our Global Process Improvement Restructuring Program (GPI Program) in order to realign our business structure and reduce operating expenses in excess of 25 percent over time. The GPI Program addressed product line rationalization and infrastructure and included a planned reduction of our global workforce. The majority of these actions were implemented in 2013. Charges related to the GPI Program are primarily recorded as corporate costs and not directly associated with either of our reporting segments.

Activity related to the 2012 GPI Program accruals was as follows:

(In millions)	Severance and Related			Lease Termination Costs			Other			Total
Accrued balance at December 31, 2013	$	2.2		$	0.4		$	0.8		$	3.4

(In millions)	2014		2013
Stock-based compensation expense	$	1.6	$	1.8

We have stock-based compensation awards consisting of stock options, restricted stock and stock appreciation rights under five plans (collectively, the Stock Plans) which are described in detail in our 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K. As of March 31, 2014 there were 2,218,839 shares available for grant under the 2011 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

As of March 31, 2014, there was $2.0 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 1.4 years.

Restricted Stock

The following table summarizes our restricted stock activity:

	Restricted Stock		Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value Per Share
Nonvested as of December 31, 2013	1,192,321		$	4.87
Granted	5,576		4.60

Forfeited	(16,135	)	5.27
Nonvested as of March 31, 2014	1,016,129		$	5.02

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 March 31, 2014, there was $2.2 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 1.4 years.

Stock Appreciation Rights

During the three months ended March 31, 2014, we granted 0.3 million Stock Appreciation Rights (SARs) to certain employees associated with our Nexsan and Mobile Security operations. As of March 31, 2014, we had 3.2 million SARs outstanding for which we have not recorded any related compensation expense based on the applicable accounting rules. We will continue to assess these SARs each quarter to determine if any expense should be recorded.

Note 9 — Retirement Plans

Pension Plans

During the three months ended March 31, 2014, we contributed $0.4 million to our worldwide pension plans. We presently anticipate contributing $2.0 million to $4.0 million to fund our worldwide pension plans during the remainder of 2014.

During the three months ended March 31, 2014, we recorded a curtailment gain in the amount of $0.7 million relating to our pension plan in Japan. This amount was recorded in restructuring and other in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

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 months ended March 31, 2014, we recorded no income tax expense (benefit). For the three months ended March 31, 2013, we recorded income tax expense of $0.4 million. The decrease in income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was driven primarily by the relative mix of taxable income (loss) by country. The effective income tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2014 differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35 percent primarily due to a valuation allowance on various deferred tax assets and the effects of foreign tax rate differential.

We conduct business globally. As a result, we file income tax returns in multiple jurisdictions and are subject to review by various U.S and foreign taxing authorities. Our U.S. federal income tax returns for 2010 through 2012 are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service. With few exceptions, we are no longer subject to examination by foreign tax jurisdictions or state and city tax jurisdictions for years before 2006. 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. Our liability related to uncertain tax positions, which is presented in other liabilities on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and which includes interest and penalties and excludes certain unrecognized tax benefits that have been netted against deferred tax assets, was $6.1 million and $6.0 million as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, 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

Our Credit Agreement entered into in 2006 and its amendments (the Credit Agreement) and the Credit Agreement entered into in 2013 with a lender in Japan (the Japan Credit Agreement) are both described in Note 11 - Debt of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. As of March 31, 2014, our borrowing capacity under the Credit Agreement, after consideration of amounts outstanding, was $25.1 million, consisting of $14.7 million in the United States and $10.4 million in Europe. As of March 31, 2014, our borrowing capacity under the Japan Credit Agreement, after consideration of amounts outstanding, was $12.3 million.

As of March 31, 2014, we had $19.8 million of borrowings outstanding under our credit facilities with interest rates ranging from 2.2 percent to 2.8 percent. We are in compliance with our covenant requirements as of March 31, 2014.

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 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 Derivative Instruments

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 in other current assets or other current liabilities on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Because we do not receive hedge accounting for these derivatives, changes in their value are recognized every reporting period in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

For the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, net foreign currency (gains) losses were $0.0 and we recorded net foreign currency gains of $0.5 million, respectively, in other (income) expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. These net (gains) losses reflect changes in foreign exchange rates on foreign denominated assets and liabilities and are net of losses of $0.2 million and gains of $0.3 million from the related foreign currency forward contracts for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

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

Note 13 — Shareholders' Equity

Treasury Stock

On May 2, 2012, our Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program that allowed for the repurchase of 5.0 million shares of common stock, replacing our previous authorization. We did not repurchase any shares of common stock for the three months ended March 31, 2014. Since the authorization of this program, we have repurchased 1.8 million shares of common stock for $9.0 million, and as of March 31, 2014 we had remaining authorization to repurchase up to 3.2 million additional shares. The treasury stock held as of March 31, 2014 was acquired at an average price of $24.35 per share.

Note 14 — Segment Information

We manage our business through two reporting segments, Consumer Storage and Accessories (CSA) and Tiered Storage and Security Solutions (TSS). Our reporting segments are generally aligned with our key consumer and commercial channels.

We have two major product categories under our CSA segment: Consumer storage media and Audio and accessories. Consumer storage media products include primarily optical products such as DVDs, CDs and Blu-ray disc recordable media as well as flash media. Audio and accessories include primarily headphones, audio electronics and accessories. We have two major product categories under our TSS segment: Commercial storage media and Storage and security solutions. Commercial storage media products consist mainly of magnetic data storage tape media and RDX media.Storage and security solutions includes storage hardware products, services and software for backup and archiving as well as primary storage; encrypted and biometric flash drives and 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.

16

We evaluate segment performance based on revenue and operating income (loss). 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 depreciation and amortization, litigation settlement expense, goodwill impairment, intangible impairments, intangible asset abandonment, corporate expense, contingent consideration adjustments, inventory write-offs related to our restructuring programs and restructuring and other expenses which are not allocated to the segments.

The operating results of our XtremeMac and Memorex consumer electronics businesses are presented in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations as discontinued operations and are not included in segment results for all periods presented. See Note 4 - Acquisitions and Divestitures for further information on these divestitures.

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, including the One-Blue litigation described below. Consequently, as of March 31, 2014, we are unable to reasonably estimate the ultimate aggregate

17

amount of any monetary liability or financial impact that we may incur with respect to these matters. It is reasonably possible that the ultimate resolution of these matters could materially affect our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

On May 22, 2013, Imation was sued in U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware by five entities: One-Blue, LLC (One-Blue), which is an entity with licensing authority for a pool of patents relating to Blu-ray discs, and four members of One-Blue, Koninklijke Philips N.V., Panasonic Corporation, Pioneer Corporation and Sony Corporation. The plaintiffs allege that Imation's sales of certain Blu-ray discs infringe six patents and seek unspecified damages, treble damages and attorney's fees. On June 13, 2013, Imation filed an Answer, Affirmative Defenses, and Counterclaims, naming various defenses including that plaintiffs are barred, in whole or in part, from any recovery or relief by their refusal to license the patents-in-suit under fair, reasonable, and nondiscriminatory terms. Imation intends to vigorously defend the case. This matter is now in the discovery phase for issues relating to determination of a fair, reasonable, and nondiscriminatory royalty rate. In addition, Imation has a dispute with One-Blue regarding One-Blue's refusal to license its Japanese Blu-ray patents under fair, reasonable, and nondiscriminatory terms in Japan, where Imation's sales of Blu-ray discs are substantially greater than in the U.S. Imation Corporation Japan, Imation's Japanese subsidiary, has sued One-Blue in Japan regarding its unlawful interference with certain of our customer relationships. Imation has notified its manufacturers of their indemnity obligations that it believes cover a portion of its liability, if any, to One-Blue and the other plaintiffs.

Copyright Levies

In many European Union (EU) member countries, the sale of recordable optical media is subject to a private copyright 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, are expected to 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 importers of applicable products, including the Company) when sales of optical media are made to natural persons presumed to be making private copies. Within this disclosure, we use the term "commercial channel sales" when referring to products intended for uses other than private copying and "consumer channel sales" when referring to products intended for uses including private copying.

Since the Directive was implemented in 2002, we estimate that we have paid in excess of $100 million in levies to various ongoing collecting societies related to commercial channel sales. Based on the ECJ's October 2010 ruling and subsequent litigation and law making activities, we believe that these payments were not consistent with the Directive and should not have been paid to the various collecting societies. Accordingly, subsequent to the October 21, 2010 ECJ ruling, we began withholding levy payments to the various collecting societies and, in 2011, we released our existing accruals (totaling $7.8 million) for unpaid levies related to commercial channel sales. However, we continue to accrue, but not pay, a liability for levies arising from consumer channel sales, in all applicable jurisdictions except Italy and France due to recent court rulings that are discussed in Note 15 - Litigation, Commitments and Contingencies in our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we had accrued liabilities of $9.5 million and $10.0 million, respectively, associated with levies related to consumer channel sales in EU jurisdictions other than Italy and France for which we are withholding payment.

Since the October 2010 ECJ ruling, we evaluate quarterly on a country-by-country basis whether: (i) levies should be accrued on current period commercial and/or consumer channel sales; and, (ii) accrued, but unpaid, copyright levies on prior period consumer channel 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. Any reversals that would occur, are recorded as a reduction to costs of sales, which is the same income statement account in which our levy expense is initially recorded. For the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 we did not reverse any amounts associated with prior period copyright levies. See Note 15 - Litigation, Commitments and Contingencies in our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 for discussion of reversals of copyright levies in 2013.

At March 31, 2014, the recovery of some or all of the copyright levies previously paid on commercial sales in EU jurisdictions other than Italy and France represents a gain contingency that has not yet met the required criteria for recognition in our financial statements. There is no assurance that we will realize any of this gain contingency. We also have an estimated

18

$9.5 million of accrued but unpaid levies associated with consumer sales in EU jurisdictions other than Italy and France that we continue to carry on our books.

We are subject to several pending or threatened legal actions by the individual European national levy collecting societies in relation to private copyright levies under the Directive. 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. We are also subject to threatened actions by certain customers of Imation seeking reimbursement of funds they allege relate to commercial levies that they claim they should not have paid.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. We anticipate that additional court decisions may be rendered in 2014 that may directly or indirectly impact our levy exposure in specific European countries which could trigger a review of our levy exposure in those countries.

Results of Operations

The operating results of our former XtremeMac^TM andMemorex^TM consumer electronics businesses are presented in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations as discontinued operations and are not included in segment results for all periods presented. See Note 4 - Acquisitions and Divestitures in our Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on these divestitures. The following discussion relates to continuing operations unless indicated otherwise.

Net Revenue

	Three Months Ended
	March 31,				Percent Change
(Dollars in millions)	2014		2013
Net revenue	$	178.9	$	224.4	(20.3	)%

Our worldwide revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2014 decreased compared with the same period last year due to declines in our TSS and CSA reporting segments of 23.1 percent and 17.9 percent, respectively. These revenue declines were driven by a 23.2 percent decline in our commercial storage media products in TSS and a 21.6 percent decline in our consumer

19

storage media products in CSA. See Segment Results for further discussion of our reporting segments and our products. Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared with the same period last year was negatively impacted by foreign currency translation of three percent.

Gross Profit

	Three Months Ended

(Dollars in millions)	2014			2013
Gross profit	$	33.7		$	42.1		(20.0	)%
Gross margin	18.8		%	18.8		%

Gross profit decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared with the same period last year due primarily to lower overall revenue. Gross profit in our TSS and CSA reporting segments decreased $8.2 million and $2.3 million, respectively. Gross profit during the three months ended March 31, 2013 included inventory write-offs of $2.1 million related to our restructuring programs, which was driven by the rationalization of certain product lines.

Gross margin for the three months ended March 31, 2014 did not change from the same period last year mainly as an increase in gross margin in our CSA reporting segment was offset by a decrease in our TSS reporting segment. Gross margin in CSA increased 1.6 percentage points to 19.3 percent while gross margin in TSS decreased 3.7 percentage points to 18.3 percent. In CSA, the increase was driven by higher margins in all of our major product categories. Gross margins in our storage and security solutions products drove the decline in TSS and was due primarily to the impact of fixed costs on lower revenue.

Selling, general and administrative	$	43.4		$	49.3		(12.0	)%
As a percent of revenue	24.3		%	22.0		%

SG&A expense decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared with the same period last year reflecting our continued cost reduction efforts. We continue to focus on cost reductions in our legacy businesses and in administrative areas and continue to focus our investment in priority growth initiatives for storage and security solutions .

For the three months ended March 31, 2014 the $2.1 million of restructuring and other expense included restructuring costs of $0.6 million consisting primarily of severance and related costs. Additionally, we recorded a curtailment gain of $0.7 million related to our Japan pension plan and other costs primarily consisting of employee costs and professional fees. For the three months ended March 31, 2013 the $2.1 million of restructuring and other expense included restructuring costs of $1.5 million

20

consisting primarily of severance and related costs and other restructuring related charges. Additionally, we incurred acquisition and integration related costs of $0.4 million as well as other costs primarily consisting of professional fees.

Restructuring expense in 2014 and 2013 related to our 2012 Global Process Improvement Restructuring Program. See Note 7 - Restructuring and Other Expense in our Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further details of our restructuring and other expense.

Income tax provision was $0.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared with income tax provision of $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The decrease in income tax provision for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was driven by the relative mix of taxable income (loss) by country. We maintain a valuation allowance related to our U.S. deferred tax assets and, therefore, no tax benefit was recorded related to our U.S. losses in either period.

Loss from Discontinued Operation

Loss from discontinued operations represents operations from our former XtremeMac and Memorex consumer electronics businesses. For the three months ended March 31, 2014 the loss includes a $0.5 million loss on sale of the XtremeMac business

21

which closed on January 31, 2014 and a $0.2 million loss from operations of discontinued businesses. The loss for the three months ended March 31, 2013 includes $1.1 million of severance related restructuring expense. See Note 4 - Acquisitions and Divestitures in our Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on our discontinued operations.

Segment Results

We manage our business through two reporting segments, Consumer Storage and Accessories (CSA) and Tiered Storage and Security Solutions (TSS). Our reporting segments are generally aligned with our key consumer and commercial channels.

We have two major product categories under our CSA reporting segment: Consumer storage media and Audio and accessories. Consumer storage media products include primarily optical products such as DVDs, CDs and Blu-ray disc recordable media as well as flash media. Audio and accessories include primarily headphones, audio electronics and accessories. We have two major product categories under our TSS reporting segment: Commercial storage media and Storage and security solutions. Commercial storage media products consist mainly of magnetic data storage tape media and RDXmedia. Storage and security solutions includes storage hardware products, services and software for backup and archiving as well as primary storage; encrypted and biometric flash drives and 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.

We evaluate segment performance based on revenue and operating income (loss). 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 depreciation and amortization, litigation settlement expense, goodwill impairment, intangible impairments, intangible asset abandonment, corporate expense, contingent consideration adjustments, inventory write-offs related to our restructuring programs and restructuring and other expenses which are not allocated to the segments.

Information related to our segments is as follows:

Consumer Storage and Accessories

	Three Months Ended
	March 31,						Percent Change
(Dollars in millions)	2014			2013
Net revenue	$	100.0		$	121.8		(17.9	)%
Operating income	4.1			5.9			(30.5	)%
As a percent of revenue	4.1		%	4.8		%

The decrease in CSA revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared with the same period last year was driven by a $24.7 million, or 21.6 percent, revenue decline in consumer storage media products due to the continued secular declines in optical media products. The rate of decline, however, was lower compared to decline rates of recent quarters. Partially offsetting the decrease in consumer storage media was a 38.2 percent increase in audio and accessories products driven by growth from our recently introduced TDK Life on Record products.

Operating income decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared with the same period last year driven primarily by lower gross profit in consumer storage media products, partially offset by lower SG&A and R&D expense reflecting our operating expense reduction efforts.

Tiered Storage and Security Solutions

(Dollars in millions)	2014			2013
Net revenue	$	78.9		$	102.6		(23.1	)%
Operating loss	(8.8		)	(3.0		)	193.3	%

The decrease in TSS revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared with the same period last year was driven primarily by a $15.5 million, or 23.2 percent, revenue decline in commercial storage media products, related to magnetic tape products. Storage and security solutions products revenue declined $8.2 million, or 23.0 percent, as revenue was impacted by certain temporal factors including general sluggishness in information technology spending, delays in purchasing from some

22

of our larger customers and continued impacts from reductions in government spending. We continue to invest in our Nexsan products with hiring of sales personnel, introducing new products and promoting the brand globally.

Operating loss increased for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared with the same period last year driven by lower gross profit on storage and security solutions products and commercial storage media products.

Corporate and Unallocated

	Three Months Ended
	March 31,						Percent Change
(Dollars in millions)	2014			2013
Operating loss	$	(11.4	)	$	(17.6	)	(35.2	)%

The Corporate and Unallocated operating loss decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared with the same period last year. The decrease reflected inventory write-offs of $2.1 million related to our restructuring programs recorded in the three months ended March 31, 2013 and a curtailment gain of $0.7 million related to our Japan pension plan recorded in the three months ended March 31, 2014 as well as higher miscellaneous corporate and unallocated costs recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2013.

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. 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 three percent for both the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013. The impact on profit is more difficult to determine due to the influence of other factors that we believe are also impacted by currency rate changes.

Our foreign currency hedging program attempts to manage some of the foreign currency risks over near term periods; however, these risk management activities cannot ensure that the program will offset more than a portion of the adverse financial impact resulting from unfavorable movements in foreign exchange rates or that medium and longer term effects of exchange rates will not be significant (see Part 1, Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk in this Form 10-Q).

Financial Position

Our cash and cash equivalents balance as of March 31, 2014 was $126.2 million compared to $132.6 million as of December 31, 2013. Cash decreased as seasonal variable compensation payments were only partially offset by improvements in working capital.

Our accounts receivable balance as of March 31, 2014 was $130.8 million, a decrease of $32.5 million from $163.3 million as of December 31, 2013 as a result of lower sales during the period. Days sales outstanding was 61 days as of March 31, 2014, up 5 days from December 31, 2013 which was benefited by seasonally high revenues. 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 March 31, 2014 was $92.6 million, an increase of $8.3 million from $84.3 million as of December 31, 2013. Days of inventory supply was 69 days as of March 31, 2014, up 8 days from December 31, 2013. 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. The increase in inventory and days of inventory supply were due to replenishments of inventory from strong sales in the later part of 2013.

Cash flows from operating activities can fluctuate from period to period as many items can impact cash flows. Cash used in operating activities was $5.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 reflecting negative earnings and seasonal variable compensation and rebate payments in the first quarter of 2014, partially offset by changes in working capital. Cash used in operating activities was $9.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and included restructuring payments of $4.5 million.

Cash used in financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was not material with no significant activity including no significant overall change in our short-term borrowings.

On May 2, 2012, our Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program that allowed for the repurchase of 5.0 million shares of common stock, replacing our previous authorization. We did not repurchase any shares during the three months ended March 31, 2014. Since the authorization of this program, we have repurchased 1.8 million shares of common stock for $9.0 million at an average price of $4.87 per share. As of March 31, 2014 we had remaining authorization to repurchase up to 3.2 million additional shares.

Our Credit Agreement entered into in 2006 and its amendments (the Credit Agreement) and the Credit Agreement entered into in 2013 with a lender in Japan (the Japan Credit Agreement) are both described in Note 11 - Debt of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. As of March 31, 2014, our borrowing capacity under the Credit Agreement, after consideration of amounts outstanding, was $25.1 million, consisting of $14.7 million in the United States and $10.4 million in Europe. As of March 31, 2014, our borrowing capacity under the Japan Credit Agreement, after consideration of amounts outstanding, was $12.3 million.

As of March 31, 2014, we had $19.8 million of borrowings outstanding under our credit facilities with interest rates ranging from 2.2 percent to 2.8 percent. We are in compliance with our covenant requirements as of March 31, 2014.

24

Our liquidity needs for the remaining nine months of 2014 include the following: restructuring payments of approximately $3 million to $8 million, up to $20 million repayment on our credit facility, capital expenditures of approximately $4 million to $9 million, pension funding of approximately $2 million to $4 million, operating lease payments of approximately $5 million, any amounts associated with organic investment opportunities and any amounts associated with the repurchase of common stock under the authorization discussed above. We expect that cash and cash equivalents, together with cash flow from operations and availability of borrowings under our current sources of financing, will provide liquidity sufficient to meet these needs and for our operations.

Contractual Obligations

As of March 31, 2014, there have been no material changes to our contractual obligations as of December 31, 2013 as presented in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

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, 2013. There were no significant changes to these accounting policies for the first three months of 2014.

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 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; our ability to meet future revenue growth, gross margin and earnings targets; the ability to quickly develop, source, introduce and deliver differentiated and innovative products; our potential dependence on third parties for new product introductions or technologies in order to introduce our own new products; our ability to successfully implement restructuring plans; foreign currency fluctuations; the ready availability and price of energy and key raw materials or critical components including 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; 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 and intangible assets or any goodwill or intangible assets that we acquire may become impaired; the ability of our security products to withstand cyber-attacks; changes in European law or practice related to the imposition or collectability of optical levies; the seasonality and volatility of the markets in which we operate; significant changes in discount rates and other assumptions used in the valuation of our pension plans; changes in tax laws, regulations and results of inspections by various tax authorities; our ability to 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 and patent disputes; ability to access financing to achieve strategic objectives and growth due to changes in the capital and credit markets; limitations in our operations that could arise from compliance with the debt covenants in our credit facilities; our ability to retain key employees; increased compliance with changing laws and regulations potentially affecting our

25

operating results; failure to adequately protect our information systems from cyber-attacks and the volatility of our stock price due to our results or market trends, as well as various factors set forth in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 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, 2013. 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, 2013.

As of March 31, 2014 we had $124.5 million notional amount of foreign currency forward and option contracts of which $22.5 million hedged recorded balance sheet exposures. This compares to $163.2 million notional amount of foreign currency forward and option contracts as of December 31, 2013, of which $29.4 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 March 31, 2014 by $5.5 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 March 31, 2014, 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 March 31, 2014, 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 have historically been no material losses related to such indemnifications. In accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, we record a liability in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for these actions when a loss is known or considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated.

We are the subject of various pending or threatened legal actions in the ordinary course of our business. All such matters are subject to many uncertainties and outcomes that are not predictable with assurance. Additionally, our 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, including the One-Blue litigation described below. Consequently, as of March 31, 2014, we are unable to reasonably estimate the ultimate aggregate amount of any monetary liability or financial impact that we may incur with respect to these matters. It is reasonably possible that the ultimate resolution of these matters could materially affect our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

On May 22, 2013, Imation was sued in U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware by five entities: One-Blue, LLC (One-Blue), which is an entity with licensing authority for a pool of patents relating to Blu-ray discs, and four members of One-Blue, Koninklijke Philips N.V., Panasonic Corporation, Pioneer Corporation and Sony Corporation. The plaintiffs allege that Imation's sales of certain Blu-ray discs infringe six patents and seek unspecified damages, treble damages and attorney's fees. On June 13, 2013, Imation filed an Answer, Affirmative Defenses, and Counterclaims, naming various defenses including that plaintiffs are barred, in whole or in part, from any recovery or relief by their refusal to license the patents-in-suit under fair, reasonable, and nondiscriminatory terms. Imation intends to vigorously defend the case. This matter is now in the discovery phase for issues relating to determination of a fair, reasonable, and nondiscriminatory royalty rate. In addition, Imation has a dispute with One-Blue regarding One-Blue's refusal to license its Japanese Blu-ray patents under fair, reasonable, and nondiscriminatory terms in Japan, where Imation's sales of Blu-ray discs are substantially greater than in the U.S. Imation Corporation Japan, Imation's Japanese subsidiary, has sued One-Blue in Japan regarding its unlawful interference with certain of our customer relationships. Imation has notified its manufacturers of their indemnity obligations that it believes cover a portion of its liability, if any, to One-Blue and the other plaintiffs.

Acquisitions and Divestitures

Discontinued Operations

On January 31, 2014 we completed the sale of our XtremeMac consumer electronics business for $3.1 million of total consideration consisting of a down payment of $0.3 million and two separate notes receivable from the purchaser payable over 2014 and 2015. The sale of this business resulted in a loss of $0.5 million which was recorded in discontinued operations for the three months ended March 31, 2014.

On October 15, 2013 we completed the sale of the Memorex consumer electronics business for $9.3 million of total consideration consisting of two separate notes receivable from the purchaser. We received a payment on the first note receivable of $0.9 million during the fourth quarter of 2013. The remaining notes receivable balances are recorded at their estimated fair value totaling $7.1 million of which $3.1 million is due during the next twelve months.

These divestitures are part of the acceleration of our strategic transformation that we announced during the fourth quarter of 2012. The operating results for the businesses sold are presented in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations as discontinued operations for all periods presented and reflect revenues and expenses that are directly attributable to these businesses that have been eliminated from ongoing operations. The consumer storage business under the Memorex and TDK Life on Record^TM brands and the consumer electronics business under the TDK Life on Record brand have been retained.

(Loss) Earnings per Common Share

3 Months Ended

Mar. 31, 2014

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 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 basic 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. 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. All potential common shares are anti-dilutive in periods of net loss available to common shareholders.

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, 2013 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, 2013.

The operating results of our former XtremeMac^TM andMemorex^TM consumer electronics businesses are presented in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations as discontinued operations for all periods presented. See Note 4 - Acquisitions and Divestitures for further information on these divestitures.

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 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 Derivative Instruments

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 in other current assets or other current liabilities on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Because we do not receive hedge accounting for these derivatives, changes in their value are recognized every reporting period in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

For the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, net foreign currency (gains) losses were $0.0 and we recorded net foreign currency gains of $0.5 million, respectively, in other (income) expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. These net (gains) losses reflect changes in foreign exchange rates on foreign denominated assets and liabilities and are net of losses of $0.2 million and gains of $0.3 million from the related foreign currency forward contracts for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

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 and during an interim period if an event occurs or circumstances change that would warrant impairment testing.

For our Storage Solutions reporting unit, our actual results for the three months ended March 31, 2014 were lower than originally planned as revenues that we had expected late in the first quarter did not materialize. We determined this to be a triggering event requiring us to review our goodwill for impairment as of March 31, 2014. For the impairment test, the estimated fair value of the reporting unit exceeded the carrying value in Step 1 of the impairment test by 24.7 percent, resulting in no impairment as of March 31, 2014. This excess of estimated fair value over carrying value is a decrease of 1.0 percentage point from the 25.7 percent excess that resulted in the test performed during the fourth quarter of 2013. In determining the estimated fair value of the reporting unit, we used the income approach, a valuation technique under which we estimate future cash flows using the reporting unit's financial forecasts and the market approach, a valuation technique that provides an estimate of the value of the reporting unit based on a comparison to other similar businesses.

We used forecasted cash flows over a ten year period, a terminal growth rate of 3.0 percent and a discount rate of 13.5 percent. The discount rate reflects the relative risk of achieving cash flows as well as any other specific risks or factors related to the Storage Solutions reporting unit. We calculated the impact of a potential change in our assumptions to determine the impact on the results of the impairment test. Holding all other assumptions constant, an unfavorable change in various components of our projected cash flows of 3.0 percent or less would potentially result in an indication of impairment. Additionally, a decrease in the residual growth rate of less than 2.0 basis points and an increase in the discount rate of less than 1.0 basis point would potentially result in an indication of impairment.

In reviewing the outlook for this reporting unit, although the first quarter 2014 results were lower than expected, we presently believe our longer-term forecast for our Storage Solutions reporting unit generally has not changed. We believe that the lower than expected results for the first quarter of 2014 are due to certain temporal factors including delays in hiring of sales force personnel, delays in purchasing from some of our larger customers and continued impacts from reductions in government spending. We continue to believe significant growth in our storage solutions revenues will occur and we are investing to facilitate this growth with hiring of sales personnel, introducing new products and promoting the Nexsan brand globally. While our current projections support no impairment of this reporting unit as of March 31, 2014, given that our first quarter 2014 results fell below expectations and the sensitivities to the assumptions used in the calculation of the estimated cash flows, it is reasonably possible that an impairment could be incurred in the future. We will continue to closely monitor our results and expected cash flows in the future to assess whether a goodwill impairment in our Storage Solutions reporting unit may be necessary. The Storage Solutions reporting unit contains $64.1 million of goodwill as of March 31, 2014.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]

Segment Information

Segment Information

We manage our business through two reporting segments, Consumer Storage and Accessories (CSA) and Tiered Storage and Security Solutions (TSS). Our reporting segments are generally aligned with our key consumer and commercial channels.

We have two major product categories under our CSA segment: Consumer storage media and Audio and accessories. Consumer storage media products include primarily optical products such as DVDs, CDs and Blu-ray disc recordable media as well as flash media. Audio and accessories include primarily headphones, audio electronics and accessories. We have two major product categories under our TSS segment: Commercial storage media and Storage and security solutions. Commercial storage media products consist mainly of magnetic data storage tape media and RDX media.Storage and security solutions includes storage hardware products, services and software for backup and archiving as well as primary storage; encrypted and biometric flash drives and 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.

We evaluate segment performance based on revenue and operating income (loss). 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 depreciation and amortization, litigation settlement expense, goodwill impairment, intangible impairments, intangible asset abandonment, corporate expense, contingent consideration adjustments, inventory write-offs related to our restructuring programs and restructuring and other expenses which are not allocated to the segments.

The operating results of our XtremeMac and Memorex consumer electronics businesses are presented in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations as discontinued operations and are not included in segment results for all periods presented. See Note 4 - Acquisitions and Divestitures for further information on these divestitures.

Income Taxes

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 months ended March 31, 2014, we recorded no income tax expense (benefit). For the three months ended March 31, 2013, we recorded income tax expense of $0.4 million. The decrease in income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was driven primarily by the relative mix of taxable income (loss) by country. The effective income tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2014 differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35 percent primarily due to a valuation allowance on various deferred tax assets and the effects of foreign tax rate differential.

We conduct business globally. As a result, we file income tax returns in multiple jurisdictions and are subject to review by various U.S and foreign taxing authorities. Our U.S. federal income tax returns for 2010 through 2012 are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service. With few exceptions, we are no longer subject to examination by foreign tax jurisdictions or state and city tax jurisdictions for years before 2006. 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. Our liability related to uncertain tax positions, which is presented in other liabilities on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and which includes interest and penalties and excludes certain unrecognized tax benefits that have been netted against deferred tax assets, was $6.1 million and $6.0 million as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, 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.

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 March 31, 2014, there was $2.2 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 1.4 years.

Stock Appreciation Rights

During the three months ended March 31, 2014, we granted 0.3 million Stock Appreciation Rights (SARs) to certain employees associated with our Nexsan and Mobile Security operations. As of March 31, 2014, we had 3.2 million SARs outstanding for which we have not recorded any related compensation expense based on the applicable accounting rules. We will continue to assess these SARs each quarter to determine if any expense should be recorded.

Litigation, Commitments and Contingencies

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, including the One-Blue litigation described below. Consequently, as of March 31, 2014, we are unable to reasonably estimate the ultimate aggregate amount of any monetary liability or financial impact that we may incur with respect to these matters. It is reasonably possible that the ultimate resolution of these matters could materially affect our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

On May 22, 2013, Imation was sued in U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware by five entities: One-Blue, LLC (One-Blue), which is an entity with licensing authority for a pool of patents relating to Blu-ray discs, and four members of One-Blue, Koninklijke Philips N.V., Panasonic Corporation, Pioneer Corporation and Sony Corporation. The plaintiffs allege that Imation's sales of certain Blu-ray discs infringe six patents and seek unspecified damages, treble damages and attorney's fees. On June 13, 2013, Imation filed an Answer, Affirmative Defenses, and Counterclaims, naming various defenses including that plaintiffs are barred, in whole or in part, from any recovery or relief by their refusal to license the patents-in-suit under fair, reasonable, and nondiscriminatory terms. Imation intends to vigorously defend the case. This matter is now in the discovery phase for issues relating to determination of a fair, reasonable, and nondiscriminatory royalty rate. In addition, Imation has a dispute with One-Blue regarding One-Blue's refusal to license its Japanese Blu-ray patents under fair, reasonable, and nondiscriminatory terms in Japan, where Imation's sales of Blu-ray discs are substantially greater than in the U.S. Imation Corporation Japan, Imation's Japanese subsidiary, has sued One-Blue in Japan regarding its unlawful interference with certain of our customer relationships. Imation has notified its manufacturers of their indemnity obligations that it believes cover a portion of its liability, if any, to One-Blue and the other plaintiffs.

Copyright Levies

In many European Union (EU) member countries, the sale of recordable optical media is subject to a private copyright 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, are expected to 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 importers of applicable products, including the Company) when sales of optical media are made to natural persons presumed to be making private copies. Within this disclosure, we use the term "commercial channel sales" when referring to products intended for uses other than private copying and "consumer channel sales" when referring to products intended for uses including private copying.

Since the Directive was implemented in 2002, we estimate that we have paid in excess of $100 million in levies to various ongoing collecting societies related to commercial channel sales. Based on the ECJ's October 2010 ruling and subsequent litigation and law making activities, we believe that these payments were not consistent with the Directive and should not have been paid to the various collecting societies. Accordingly, subsequent to the October 21, 2010 ECJ ruling, we began withholding levy payments to the various collecting societies and, in 2011, we released our existing accruals (totaling $7.8 million) for unpaid levies related to commercial channel sales. However, we continue to accrue, but not pay, a liability for levies arising from consumer channel sales, in all applicable jurisdictions except Italy and France due to recent court rulings that are discussed in Note 15 - Litigation, Commitments and Contingencies in our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we had accrued liabilities of $9.5 million and $10.0 million, respectively, associated with levies related to consumer channel sales in EU jurisdictions other than Italy and France for which we are withholding payment.

Since the October 2010 ECJ ruling, we evaluate quarterly on a country-by-country basis whether: (i) levies should be accrued on current period commercial and/or consumer channel sales; and, (ii) accrued, but unpaid, copyright levies on prior period consumer channel 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. Any reversals that would occur, are recorded as a reduction to costs of sales, which is the same income statement account in which our levy expense is initially recorded. For the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 we did not reverse any amounts associated with prior period copyright levies. See Note 15 - Litigation, Commitments and Contingencies in our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 for discussion of reversals of copyright levies in 2013.

At March 31, 2014, the recovery of some or all of the copyright levies previously paid on commercial sales in EU jurisdictions other than Italy and France represents a gain contingency that has not yet met the required criteria for recognition in our financial statements. There is no assurance that we will realize any of this gain contingency. We also have an estimated $9.5 million of accrued but unpaid levies associated with consumer sales in EU jurisdictions other than Italy and France that we continue to carry on our books.

We are subject to several pending or threatened legal actions by the individual European national levy collecting societies in relation to private copyright levies under the Directive. 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. We are also subject to threatened actions by certain customers of Imation seeking reimbursement of funds they allege relate to commercial levies that they claim they should not have paid.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. We anticipate that additional court decisions may be rendered in 2014 that may directly or indirectly impact our levy exposure in specific European countries which could trigger a review of our levy exposure in those countries.
