MOBILITY ELECTRONICS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
(1) Basis of Presentation
     The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Mobility Electronics, Inc. (“Mobility” or the “Company”) which was formerly known as Electronics Accessory Specialists International, Inc., and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Mobility California, Inc. (“California”) which was formerly known as Magma, Inc., Mobility Idaho, Inc. (“Idaho”) which was formerly known as Portsmith, Inc., Mobility 2001 Limited, Mobility Texas Inc. (“Texas”) which was formerly known as Cutting Edge Software, Inc., and iGo Direct Corporation (“iGo”). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.
     The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, pursuant to rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include normal recurring adjustments that are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. Certain information and footnote disclosures have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004 included in the Company’s Form 10-K/A, filed with the SEC. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year or any other period.
     The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make a number of estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including those related to bad debts, sales returns, inventories, warranty obligations, and contingencies and litigation. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
     Certain amounts included in the 2004 condensed consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2005 financial statement presentation.
     The Company believes its critical accounting policies, consisting of revenue recognition, inventory valuation and goodwill valuation affect its more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of its consolidated financial statements. These policies are discussed in Item 2, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Restatement
     As described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2004, the Company has restated its financial statements and other information for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2004 and, except for the first quarter of 2003, each quarter in 2003 and 2004, and the first and second quarters of 2005. The Company’s determination to restate these previously issued financial statements stems from the Company’s decision, at the time that these financial statements were originally prepared, to record costs, consisting primarily of legal fees stemming from unresolved issues in connection with its 2002 acquisitions of Portsmith and iGo, as goodwill, rather than as period expense. Pursuant to this restatement, instead of charging these costs to goodwill, they are instead being recorded as general and administrative expense in the period in which they were incurred.

(2) Stock-based Compensation
     At September 30, 2005, the Company accounted for stock-based compensation under the intrinsic value recognition and measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (“APB 25”). These plans provide for the grant of incentive stock options and restricted stock units to eligible employees.
a. Stock Options
     Following the guidance of APB 25, no stock-based employee compensation expense is reflected in net income for employee stock options granted under the plans to date, as all options granted had an exercise price at least equal to the fair market value of shares of common stock on the date of the grant.
     The Financial Accounting Standards Board recently published Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (Revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (“SFAS 123R”). On April 14, 2005, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission adopted a new rule amending the compliance dates for SFAS 123R. In accordance with the new rule, the accounting provisions of SFAS 123R will be effective for the Company in 2006. The Company will adopt the provisions of SFAS 123R using a modified prospective application. Under modified prospective application, SFAS 123R, which provides certain changes to the method for valuing share-based compensation among other changes, will apply to new awards and to awards that are outstanding on the effective date and are subsequently modified or cancelled. Compensation expense for outstanding awards for which the vesting period has not been completed as of the effective date will be recognized over the remaining vesting period using the compensation cost calculated for pro forma disclosure purposes under SFAS 123. At September 30, 2005, unamortized compensation expense, as determined in accordance with SFAS 123, that the Company expects to record during fiscal 2006 was approximately $98,000. The Company determined it would not issue any stock options in future periods, and accordingly, does not expect to incur additional expense related to the issuance of stock options. The Company is in the process of determining how the guidance regarding valuing share-based compensation as prescribed in SFAS 123R will be applied to valuing share-based awards granted after the effective date and the impact the recognition of compensation expense related to such awards will have on its financial statements.
     On March 11, 2005, in response to the issuance of SFAS 123R, the Company’s Compensation and Human Resources Committee of the Board of Directors approved accelerating the vesting of all unvested stock options held by current employees, including executive officers, and directors with an exercise price of $6.00 or greater. Unvested options to purchase 540,369 shares became exercisable as a result of the vesting acceleration.

Table of Contents

     The decision to accelerate vesting of these options was made primarily to avoid recognizing compensation expense in the statement of operations in future financial statements upon the effectiveness of SFAS 123R. The Company estimates that the maximum future compensation expense that will be avoided, based on an implementation date for SFAS 123R of January 1, 2006, will be approximately $1,609,000, of which approximately $409,000 is related to options held by executive officers and directors of the Company. The acceleration did not generate significant compensation expense as accounted for under APB 25, as the majority of options for which vesting was accelerated had exercise prices that exceeded the market price of the Company’s common stock on March 11, 2005. The pro-forma results presented in the table below include approximately $1,609,000 of compensation expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 resulting from the vesting acceleration.
     Had the Company determined compensation cost based on the fair value at the grant date for its stock options under SFAS 123R, the Company’s income (loss) and net income (loss) per share would have been changed to the pro forma amount indicated below (amounts in thousands, except per share):

     The value of stock-based employee compensation expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 was determined using the Black-Scholes method with the following assumptions:
                 
    September 30,  
    2005     2004  
Expected life (years)
    3.0       3.0

Dividend yield
    0.0 %     0.0 %
Volatility
    75.0 %     100.0 %
b. Restricted Stock Units
     During the nine months ended September 30, 2005, the Company granted 867,896 restricted stock units (“RSUs”) to certain key employees and 59,700 to non-employee directors pursuant to the Mobility Electronics, Inc. Omnibus Long-Term Incentive Plan. As a result of employee terminations, 92,144 RSUs were cancelled during the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 5,387 RSUs vested. Of the 5,387 RSUs that vested, 1,493 were surrendered in satisfaction of employee tax withholding obligations and the remaining 3,894 RSUs were converted into shares of common stock. The awards are accounted for using the measurement and recognition principles of APB 25. Accordingly, unearned compensation is measured at the date of grant and recognized as compensation expense over the period in which the RSUs vest. RSUs awarded during the nine months ended September 30, 2005 will vest after five years, but may vest earlier if specific performance criteria are met or upon the death, disability, termination without cause, or retirement of plan participants. At September 30, 2005, $5,736,000 of unearned compensation is recorded as a reduction in stockholders’ equity as a result of the RSUs. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005, the Company recorded in selling, general and administrative expense, $384,000 and $1,111,000 of stock-based compensation expense, respectively, relating to the RSUs.
(3) Investments
     The Company evaluates its investments in marketable securities in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities,” and has determined that all of its investments in marketable securities should be classified as available-for-sale and reported at fair value.

     The fair value of the Company’s investments in marketable securities is based on quoted market prices which approximate fair value due to the frequent resetting of interest rates. The Company assesses its investments in marketable securities for other-than-temporary declines in value by considering various factors that include, among other things, any events that may affect the creditworthiness of a security’s issuer, the length of time the security has been in a loss position, and the Company’s ability and intent to hold the security until a forecasted recovery of fair value.
     There were no proceeds from sales or maturities of marketable securities in the nine months ending September 30, 2005. As of September 30, 2005, the amortized cost basis, unrealized holding gains, unrealized holding losses, and aggregate fair value by major security type were as follows (in thousands):

(9) Stockholders’ Equity
(a) Convertible Preferred Stock
     During the period from December 31, 2004 through September 30, 2005, all of the remaining shares of Series C preferred stock, which consisted of a total of 270,541 shares, were converted into 276,596 shares of common stock at an average rate of 1-to-1.02238.

Generally, the conversion rate was adjustable if the Company issued any non-cash dividends on outstanding securities, split its securities or otherwise effected a change to the number of its outstanding securities. The conversion rate was also adjustable when the Company issued additional securities at a price that was less than the price that the Series C preferred stockholders paid for their shares. Such adjustments were made according to certain formulas that were designed to prevent dilution of the Series C preferred stock. The Series C preferred stock was subject to conversion at any time at the option of the holder, and was subject to automatic conversion upon the occurrence of certain events. At September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, there were 15,000,000 shares of Series C preferred stock authorized and 0 and 270,541 issued and outstanding, respectively.

(12) Business Segments, Concentration of Credit Risk and Significant Customers
     The Company is engaged in the business of selling accessories for computers and mobile electronic devices. Effective March 31, 2005, the Company formed a separate division, specifically for the purpose of developing, marketing and selling its low-power mobile electronic power products, which the Company has named the “itip Division”. In conjunction with the formation of the itip Division, the Company’s chief operating decision maker (CODM) began separately evaluating the operating results of the itip Division, the High-Power Group and the Connectivity Group. The Company’s CODM continues to evaluate revenues and gross profits based on products lines, routes to market and geographies. Prior to April 1, 2005, the CODM only evaluated operating results for the Company taken as a whole. As a result, effective April 1, 2005, in accordance with FASB Statement No. 131, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information”, the Company has determined it has three operating business segments, consisting of the High-Power Group, itip Division, and Connectivity Group.

     Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and trade accounts receivable. The Company places its cash with high credit quality financial institutions and generally limits the amount of credit exposure to the amount of FDIC coverage. However, periodically during the year, the Company maintains cash in financial institutions in excess of the FDIC insurance coverage limit of $100,000. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition but does not typically require collateral to support customer receivables. The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends and other information.
     Four customers accounted for 25%, 16%, 13%, and 10% of net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. Three customers accounted for 26%, 16%, and 11% of net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2004.
     Three customers’ accounts receivable balances accounted for 29%, 25% and 14% of net accounts receivable at September 30, 2005. Three customers’ accounts receivable balances accounted for 29%, 20% and 10% of net accounts receivable at September 30, 2004.
     Allowance for doubtful accounts was $321,000 and $311,000 at September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively. Allowance for sales returns was $238,000 and $183,000 at September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively.
     Export sales were approximately 14% and 17% of the Company’s net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The principal international markets served by the Company were Europe and Asia Pacific.
(13) Contingencies
     Holmes Lundt, et al., plaintiffs, and Jason Carnahan, et. al., intervenors, v. Mobility Electronics, Inc., Portsmith, Inc., Charles R. Mollo, Joan W. Brubacher, and Jeffrey R. Harris, pending in the District Court of the Fourth Judicial District of Idaho, Ada County, Case No. CV-0C-0302562D. This lawsuit initially was commenced on April 2, 2003, by Holmes Lundt, former President and CEO of Mobility Idaho, Inc. (formerly Portsmith, Inc.), the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, and his wife, but additional plaintiffs were added, and several of the Company’s officers and directors were added as defendants. The claims asserted arise substantially out of the transactions surrounding the Company’s acquisition of Portsmith in February 2002. Among other things, plaintiffs and intervenors disputed that the Company appropriately calculated and paid the earn-out consideration called for by the Portsmith merger agreement. The court issued an order on April 15, 2004 granting the Company’s motion for partial summary judgment on this pricing issue, meaning the court agreed that the Company had properly calculated the pricing of the shares issued by the Company in the Portsmith merger. The court subsequently affirmed this decision on November 18, 2004, pursuant to the plaintiffs’ motion for reconsideration. The Carnahan plaintiffs filed a second amended complaint with the court on December 13, 2004, the Lundt plaintiffs filed a third amended complaint with the court on February 14, 2005, and a new set of plaintiffs, also former stockholders of Portsmith, filed an initial complaint with the court on February 18, 2005 titled Jess Asla, et. al., plaintiffs v. Mobility Electronics, Inc., Charles Mollo and Joan Brubacher in the District Court of the Fourth Judicial District of Idaho, Ada County, which was later amended and served on August 11, 2005. The Asla case was subsequently removed on August 24, 2005 to federal court where it is now pending in the United States District Court for the District of Idaho, Case No. CIV 05-342-S-BLW. All three of these complaints assert claims for breach of contract, breach of an alleged covenant of good faith and fair dealing, unjust enrichment, declaratory judgment, breach of fiduciary duty, constructive trust, conversion, and interference with prospective economic advantage. The

Lundt plaintiffs also assert claims for breach of Mr. Lundt’s employment agreement, and wrongful termination of Mr. Lundt. All three complaints seek monetary damages. On March 17, 2005, the Company filed separate motions to dismiss the complaints brought by the Lundt and Carnahan plaintiffs, and on June 14, 2005, the court issued an order denying these motions. On June 24, 2005, the Company filed a second amended counterclaim against both the Lundt and Carnahan plaintiffs, asserting claims for fraud and misrepresentation, unjust enrichment, breach of fiduciary duties, promissory estoppel, conversion, breach of contract, abuse of process, right of offset, declaratory judgment, breach of good faith and fair dealing, interference with prospective economic advantage, violations of Idaho and/or Delaware securities laws, indemnity and civil conspiracy. On July 25, 2005, the Lundt and Carnahan plaintiffs filed a motion to dismiss the counterclaims filed by the Company. On October 7, the court granted the Lundt and Carnahan plaintiffs’ motion to dismiss the Company’s breach of fiduciary duty claims against the plaintiffs other than Lundt, but denied all of the Lundt and Carnahan plaintiffs’ other motions to dismiss. The Company seeks monetary damages in its counterclaim. The Lundt and Carnahan case is currently set for trial in June 2006. A trial date has not yet been set for the Asla case. The Company intends to vigorously defend against the claims as well as pursue its own counterclaims against all plaintiffs.
     Certain former officers of iGo Corporation are seeking potential indemnification claims against the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, iGo Direct Corporation, relating to a Securities and Exchange Commission matter involving such individuals (but not involving the Company) that relates to matters that arose prior to the Company’s acquisition of iGo Corporation in September 2002. The Company is pursuing coverage under iGo’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy as it relates to the potential iGo indemnification matter. In the event this coverage is not received, iGo may be responsible for additional costs and expenses associated with this matter.
     The Company is from time to time involved in various legal proceedings incidental to the conduct of its business. The Company believes that the outcome of all such pending legal proceedings will not in the aggregate have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

Restatement
     As discussed in the Restatement section on page 2 and further described in Note 1 to the condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company has restated its financial statements and other information for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2004 and, except for the first quarter of 2003, each quarter in 2003 and 2004, and the first and second fiscal quarters of 2005.
Overview
     Increased functionality and the ability to access and manage information remotely are driving the proliferation of mobile electronic devices and applications. The popularity of these devices is benefiting from reductions in size, weight and cost and improvements in functionality, storage capacity and reliability. Each of these devices needs to be powered and connected when in the home, the office, or on the road, and can be accessorized, representing an opportunity for one or more of our products.
     We use our proprietary technology to design and develop products that make computers and mobile electronic devices more efficient and cost effective, thus enabling professionals and consumers more effective use of these devices and the ability to access information more readily. Our products include high-power mobile electronic power, low-power mobile electronic power, handheld, expansion and docking, and accessory products. We are organized in three business segments, which consist of the High-Power Group, the itip Division and the Connectivity Group.
     High-Power Group. Our High-Power Group is focused on the development, marketing and sales of power products and accessories for mobile electronic devices with high power requirements, which consist primarily of portable computers. In addition, in accordance with the terms of our new strategic agreements with RadioShack and Motorola, we expect the High-Power Group to include the majority of our sales of itip products to RadioShack through December 31, 2005. We sell these products to OEMs, private-label resellers, distributors, resellers and retailers. We supply OEM–specific, high-power adapter products to Dell and IBM. We have entered into a strategic reseller agreement with Targus to market and distribute high-power adapter products on a private-label basis. We sell to retailers such as RadioShack and through distributors such as Ingram Micro. High-Power Group revenue accounted for approximately 73% of revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, and 75% of revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2004.
     itip Division. Our 2004 development efforts focused significantly on the development of our patented itip products. In particular, we collaborated with RadioShack and Motorola to develop and market a line of power adapters, including cigarette lighter adapters, mobile AC adapters, and low-power universal AC/DC adapters, specifically designed for the low-power mobile electronic device market. Each of these devices incorporates our patented tip technology and the combination AC/DC adapter also allows users to simultaneously charge a second device with our optional DualPower accessory. In April 2005, we entered into new strategic agreements with RadioShack and Motorola under which we have formed the itip Division, which is specifically focused on the development, marketing and sales of low-power adapter products. In connection with these strategic agreements, RadioShack and Motorola will each act as sales representatives for the sale of our itip products. In addition, RadioShack and Motorola have each made strategic investments in our company to assist us in these efforts. itip revenue accounted for approximately 5% of revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 0% of revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2004.
     Connectivity Group. Our Connectivity Group is focused on the development, marketing and sales of expansion and docking products that utilize Split Bridge technology and handheld products. Our early focus was on the development of remote peripheral component interface, or PCI, bus technology and products based on proprietary Split Bridge® technology. We invested heavily in Split Bridge technology and while we had some success with Split Bridge in the corporate portable computer market with sales of universal docking stations, it became clear in early 2002 that this would not be the substantial opportunity we originally envisioned. In May 2005, we sold substantially all of our intellectual property relating to Split Bridge technology. Although we no longer own Split Bridge technology, we continue to produce and sell docking, expansion and connectivity products using Split Bridge technology through a non-exclusive, perpetual royalty-free license. We supply OEM-specific connectivity products to Symbol Technologies. We also sell connectivity products to other OEMs, distributors and end-users. Connectivity Group revenue accounted for approximately 22% of revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 25% of revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2004.
     Across all three business segments, sales to OEMs and private-label resellers accounted for approximately 61% of revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 63% of revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2004. Sales through retailers and distributors accounted for approximately 23% of revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 26% of revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2004. The balance of our revenue during these periods was

derived from direct sales to end-users. In the future, we expect that we will be dependent upon a relatively small number of customers for a significant portion of our revenue, including most notably RadioShack, Targus, IBM, Dell, and Symbol.
     Our focus in 2005 and 2006 is to continue to proliferate power products that incorporate our patented tip technology for both high-power and low-power mobile electronic devices. Our long-term goal is to establish an industry standard for all mobile electronic device power adapters based on our patented tip technology. We also believe there are long-term growth opportunities for our connectivity products and technology related to the new smartphones that are being introduced by the major phone manufacturers.
     Our ability to execute successfully on our near and long-term objectives depends largely upon the general market acceptance of our tip technology which allows users to charge multiple devices with a single adapter and our ability to protect our proprietary rights to this technology. Additionally, we must execute on the customer relationships that we have developed and continue to design, develop, manufacture and market new and innovative technology and products that are embraced by these customers and the overall market in general.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
     Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make a number of estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.
     On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to bad debt expense, warranty obligations and contingencies and litigation. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
     We believe the following critical accounting policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements:
     Revenue Recognition. Revenue from product sales is recognized upon shipments and transfers of ownership from us or our contract manufacturers to the customers. Allowances for sales returns and credits are provided for in the same period the related sales are recorded. Should the actual return or sales credit rates differ from our estimates, revisions to the estimated allowance for sales returns and credits may be required.
     Our recognition of revenue from product sales to distributors, resellers and retailers, or the “distribution channel,” is affected by agreements we have giving certain customers rights to return up to 15% of their prior quarter’s purchases, provided that they place a new order for equal or greater dollar value of the amount returned. We also have agreements with certain customers that allow them to receive credit for subsequent price reductions, or “price protection.” At the time we recognize revenue, upon shipment and transfer of ownership, we reduce revenue for the gross sales value of estimated future returns, as well as our estimate of future price protection. We also reduce cost of revenue for the gross product cost of estimated future returns. We record an allowance for sales returns in the amount of the difference between the gross sales value and the cost of revenue as a reduction of accounts receivable. Gross sales to the distribution channel accounted for approximately 23% of revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 26% of revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2004.
     For our products, a historical correlation exists between the amount of distribution channel inventory and the amount of returns that actually occur. The greater the inventory held by our distributors, the more product returns we expect. For each of our products, we monitor levels of product sales and inventory at our distributors’ warehouses and at retailers as part of our effort to reach an appropriate accounting estimate for returns. In estimating returns, we analyze historical returns, current inventory in the distribution channel, current economic trends, changes in consumer demand, introduction of new competing products and acceptance of our products.
     In recent years, as a result of a combination of the factors described above, we have reduced our gross sales to reflect our estimated amounts of returns and price protection. It is also possible that returns could increase rapidly and significantly in the future. Accordingly, estimating product returns requires significant management judgment. In addition, different return estimates that we reasonably could have used would have had a material impact on our reported sales and thus have had a material impact on the presentation of the results of operations. For those reasons, we believe that the accounting estimate related to product returns and price protection is a critical accounting estimate.
     Inventory Valuation. Inventories consist of finished goods and component parts purchased both partially and fully assembled. We have all normal risks and rewards of our inventory held by contract manufacturers. Inventories are stated at the

17


Table of Contents

lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market. Inventories include material and overhead costs. Overhead costs are allocated to inventory based on a percentage of material costs. We monitor usage reports to determine if the carrying value of any items should be adjusted due to lack of demand for the items. We make a downward adjustment to the value of our inventory for estimated obsolescence or unmarketable inventory equal to the difference between the cost of inventory and the estimated market value based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions. We recorded downward adjustments to inventory of $328,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and $897,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2004. If actual market conditions are less favorable than those projected by management, additional inventory write-downs may be required.
     Goodwill and Intangible Assets Valuation. Under Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (SFAS 142), we are required to evaluate recorded goodwill annually, or when events indicate the goodwill may be impaired. The impairment evaluation process is based on both a discounted future cash flows approach and a market comparable approach. The discounted cash flows approach uses our estimates of future market growth rates, market share, revenue and costs, as well as appropriate discount rates. We test goodwill for impairment on an annual basis as of December 31. We evaluated goodwill for impairment as of December 31, 2004 and determined that recorded goodwill was not impaired at that time. Recorded goodwill was reduced by approximately $2.0 million as a result of the sale of the assets of Mobility Texas, Inc. during 2004. During the quarter ended September 30, 2005, no triggering events occurred that would lead us to believe that goodwill was impaired as of September 30, 2005.
     We also test our recorded intangible assets whenever events indicate the recorded intangible assets may be impaired. Our intangible asset impairment approach is based on a discounted cash flows approach using assumptions noted above.
     If we fail to achieve our assumed growth rates or assumed gross margin, we may incur charges for impairment in the future. For these reasons, we believe that the accounting estimates related to goodwill and intangible assets are critical accounting estimates.

Comparison of Three Months Ended September 30, 2005 and 2004
     Revenue. Revenue generally consists of sales of products, net of returns and allowances. To date, our revenues have come predominantly from power adapters, handheld products, expansion and docking products, and accessories. The following table summarizes the year-over-year comparison of our revenue for the periods indicated (amounts in thousands):
                                 
                    Increase (decrease)   Percentage change
                    from same period   from the same period

Total Revenue
  $ 23,104     $ 18,959     $ 4,145       21.9 %
     High-Power Group. The increase in High-Power Group revenue is primarily due to continued sales growth of our family of combination AC/DC, AC only and DC only universal power adapters during the three months ended September 30, 2005. Sales of OEM–specific, high-power products increased by $1.2 million, or 31.3%, to $4.9 million during the three months ended September 30, 2005 as compared to $3.7 million during the three months ended September 30, 2004, primarily as a result of increased sales to Dell. Sales of high-power products developed specifically for private-label resellers increased by $65,000, or 1.2%, to $5.6 million during the three months ended September 30, 2005 as compared to $5.5 million during the three months ended September 30, 2004. Sales of iGo branded high-power products to retailers and distributors, which includes low-power products sold to RadioShack, increased by $2.3 million, or 43.9% to $6.9 million during the three months ended September 30, 2005 as compared to $4.8 million during the three months ended September 30, 2004. The increase in sales to retailers and distributors for the three months ended September 30, 2005, as compared to the same period in the prior year, is primarily as a result of an increase of approximately $2.0 million of new high-power products introduced into RadioShack during 2005.
     itip Division. The itip Division was formed on March 31, 2005. For the three months ended September 30, 2005, itip Division revenue consists primarily of sales of itip products to various retailers and distributors, as well as sales to end-users through our iGo.com website. Our itip Division strategy is to gain further market penetration into mobile wireless carriers, distributors and retailers through our own sales efforts, as well as those of our sales representatives, RadioShack and Motorola.
     Connectivity Group. The decrease in Connectivity Group revenue is primarily attributable to a decrease in sales of handheld products of $543,000, or 17.9%, to $2.5 million during the three months ended September 30, 2005 as compared to $3.0 million during the three months ended September 30, 2004. Many customers for these products purchase periodically rather than ratably throughout the year, which may cause revenue of the Connectivity Group to fluctuate from period to period.
     Cost of revenue, gross profit and gross margin. Cost of revenue generally consists of costs associated with components, outsourced manufacturing and in-house labor associated with assembly, testing, packaging, shipping and quality assurance, depreciation of equipment and indirect manufacturing costs. Gross profit is the difference between revenue and cost of revenue. Gross margin is gross profit stated as a percentage of revenue. The following table summarizes the year-over-year comparison of our cost of revenue, gross profit and gross margin for the periods indicated (amounts in thousands):
                                 
                    Increase from same   Percentage change from
                    period in the prior   the same period in the
    Q3 2005   Q3 2004   year   prior year
Cost of revenue
  $ 15,679     $ 13,102     $ 2,577       19.7 %
Gross profit
  $ 7,425     $ 5,857     $ 1,568       26.8 %
Gross margin
    32.1 %     30.9 %     1.2 %     3.9 %
     The increase in cost of revenue was due to the 21.9% volume increase in revenue, as well as to an increase in indirect product overhead expenses, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2004. Indirect product overhead expenses increased by $483,000, or 30.5%, to $2.1 million during the three months ended September 30, 2005 as compared to $1.6 million during the three months ended September 30, 2004, primarily due to increases in allowance for excess and obsolete inventory, allowance for warranty, and costs incurred in connection with pursuit of ISO 9001-2000 certification. Cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue decreased to 67.9% for the three months ended September 30, 2005 from 69.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2004, resulting in increased gross margin. The increase in gross profit and corresponding gross margin is primarily attributable to a shift in product mix resulting in higher direct product gross margin, partially offset by the increase in indirect product overhead expenses previously discussed.

     Sales and marketing. Sales and marketing expenses generally consist of salaries, commissions and other personnel-related costs of our sales, marketing and support personnel, advertising, public relations, promotions, printed media and travel. The following table summarizes the year-over-year comparison of our sales and marketing expenses for the periods indicated (amounts in thousands):

Sales and marketing
  $ 1,921     $ 1,777     $ 144       8.1 %
     The increase in sales and marketing expenses primarily resulted from costs associated with variable sales compensation expense attributable to increased revenue, combined with increased investment in market research. As a percentage of revenue, sales and marketing expenses decreased to 8.3% for the three months ended September 30, 2005 from 9.4% for the three months ended September 30, 2004.
     Research and development. Research and development expenses consist primarily of salaries and personnel-related costs, outside consulting, lab costs and travel-related costs of our product development group.

     The increase in research and development expenses primarily resulted from costs associated with the addition of 14 engineering personnel, as well as the timing of expenses incurred in connection with the continued development of our family of power products. As a percentage of revenue, research and development expenses increased to 7.8% for the three months ended September 30, 2005 from 6.4% for the three months ended September 30, 2004.
     General and administrative. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and other personnel-related expenses of our finance, human resources, information systems, corporate development and other administrative personnel, as well as facilities, professional fees, depreciation and amortization and related expenses. The following table summarizes the year-over-year comparison of our general and administrative expenses for the periods indicated (amounts in thousands):

  $ 4,090     $ 2,743     $ 1,347       49.1 %
     The increase in general and administrative expenses primarily resulted from an increase in external legal expenses of $751,000 related to ongoing patent enforcement and other litigation and an increase in non-cash expenses of $305,000 related to the amortization of equity compensation. General and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue increased to 17.7% for the three months ended September 30, 2005 from 14.5% for the three months ended September 30, 2004.
     Interest income (expense) net. During the three months ended September 30, 2005, we earned $263,000 of net interest income, compared to net interest expense of $27,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2004. The increase in net interest income is primarily the result of an increase in cash, cash equivalents, short- and long-term investments resulting from the sale of intellectual property assets, as well as equity investments by RadioShack and Motorola.

Comparison of Nine months Ended September 30, 2005 and 2004
     Revenue. Revenue generally consists of sales of products, net of returns and allowances. To date, our revenues have come predominantly from power adapters, handheld products, expansion and docking products, and accessories. The following table summarizes the year-over-year comparison of our revenue for the periods indicated (amounts in thousands):

  $ 61,889     $ 49,654     $ 12,235       24.6 %
     High-Power Group. The increase in High-Power Group revenue is primarily due to continued sales growth of our family of combination AC/DC, AC only and DC only universal power adapters during the nine months ended September 30, 2005. Sales of OEM–specific, high-power products increased by $4.5 million, or 48.6%, to $13.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2005, as compared to $9.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2004, primarily as a result of increased sales to Dell. Sales of high-power products developed specifically for private-label resellers increased by $630,000, or 4.0%, to $16.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2005 as compared to $15.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2004. Sales of iGo branded high-power products to retailers and distributors increased by $2.5 million, or 21.4% to $14.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2005 as compared to $12.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2004.
     itip Division. The itip Division was formed on March 31, 2005. For the nine months ended September 30, 2005, itip Division revenue consists primarily of sales of itip products to various retailers and distributors, as well as sales to end-users through our iGo.com website. Our itip Division strategy is to gain further market penetration into mobile wireless carriers, distributors and retailers through our own sales efforts, as well as those of our sales representatives, RadioShack and Motorola.
     Connectivity Group. The increase in Connectivity Group revenue is primarily attributable to an increase in sales of handheld products of $1.4 million, or 19.1% to $8.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2005 as compared to $7.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2004. Many customers for these products purchase periodically rather than ratably throughout the year, which may cause revenue of the connectivity group to fluctuate from period to period.
     Cost of revenue, gross profit and gross margin. Cost of revenue generally consists of costs associated with components, outsourced manufacturing and in-house labor associated with assembly, testing, packaging, shipping and quality assurance, depreciation of equipment and indirect manufacturing costs. Gross profit is the difference between revenue and cost of revenue. Gross margin is gross profit stated as a percentage of revenue. The following table summarizes the year-over-year comparison of our cost of revenue, gross profit and gross margin for the periods indicated (amounts in thousands):

Gross margin
    31.2 %     29.8 %     1.4 %     4.7 %
     The increase in cost of revenue was due primarily to the 24.6% volume increase in revenue, as well as to shifts in customer mix and product mix, partially offset by a decrease in indirect product overhead expenses, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2004. Cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue decreased to 68.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 from 70.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2004, resulting in increased gross margin. Indirect product overhead expenses decreased by $181,000, or 3.4%, to $5.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2005 as compared to $5.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2004, primarily due to a reduction in inventory write-downs of $569,000. The increase in gross profit and corresponding gross margin is primarily attributable to the shift in product mix and reduced indirect product overhead expenses previously discussed.

     Sales and marketing. Sales and marketing expenses generally consist of salaries, commissions and other personnel-related costs of our sales, marketing and support personnel, advertising, public relations, promotions, printed media and travel.

     The increase in sales and marketing expenses primarily resulted from costs associated with an increase of approximately six additional sales and marketing personnel during the nine months ended September 30, 2005, and additional marketing costs associated with the rollout of new power adapter products. As a percentage of revenue, sales and marketing expenses decreased to 9.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 from 9.9% for the nine months ended September 30, 2004.
     Research and development. Research and development expenses consist primarily of salaries and personnel-related costs, outside consulting, lab costs and travel-related costs of our product development group.

     The increase in general and administrative expenses primarily resulted from an increase in non-cash expenses of $1.0 million related to the amortization of equity compensation and an increase in external legal fees of $341,000 associated with ongoing patent enforcement and other litigation. General and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue decreased to 16.5% for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 from 16.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 2004.

     Interest income (expense) net. During the nine months ended September 30, 2005, we earned $483,000 of net interest income, compared to net interest expense of $93,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2004. The increase in net interest income is primarily the result of an increase in cash, cash equivalents, short- and long-term investments resulting from the sale of intellectual property assets, as well as equity investments by RadioShack and Motorola.

     Other income (expense) net. During the nine months ended September 30, 2005, we recorded a gain on the sale of intellectual property assets in the amount of $11.6 million, compared to net other income of $14,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2004.
     Income taxes. As a result of the $11.6 million gain on the sale of intellectual property assets, we became subject to corporate alternative minimum tax (AMT). As AMT is currently payable, we are not able to utilize net operating losses to offset this AMT liability. Accordingly, for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, we recorded a provision for income tax in the amount of $285,000, which represents our estimate of AMT liability. We have incurred net losses from inception through the three months ended March 31, 2005; therefore, no additional provision for income taxes was required for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and no provision for income tax was required for the nine months ended September 30, 2004. Based on historical operating losses, we have no assurance that we will fully realize the benefits of the net operating loss carryforwards. We have not, therefore, recorded a tax benefit from our net operating loss carryforwards for either of the nine months ended September 30, 2005 or September 30, 2004.
Operating Outlook
     In the fourth quarter of 2005, we believe that total revenue will be between $23-24 million and that operating expenses will remain relatively consistent with the third quarter of 2005. Fourth quarter margins are expected to be lower than in the third quarter as the result of expected product mix. For these reasons, we expect a net loss of $0.01 to $0.02 per share in the fourth quarter.
     From a long-term perspective, we believe there are a number of major catalysts that will drive future growth and profitability, including:
    improved economics in our itip Division resulting from improved pricing with RadioShack that will take effect at the beginning of 2006;
 
    continued growth in sales of portable computer power products with current and new partners, both domestically and internationally;
 
    continued growth in sales of our itip products driven by new products, strategic partnerships, and new direct and indirect distribution partners including wireless carriers, wireless distributors, and retailers;
 
    incremental revenue generated from expansion into new power areas such as rechargeable batteries/chargers, including the anticipated introduction of jointly developed power products with Energizer in 2006.
     We are currently a party to various legal proceedings. We do not believe that the ultimate outcome of these legal proceedings will have a material adverse effect on our financial position or overall trends in results of operations. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties and unfavorable rulings could occur. If an unfavorable ruling were to occur in any specific period, such a ruling could have a material adverse impact on the results of operations of that period, or future periods.
     As a result of our planned research and development efforts, we expect to further expand our intellectual property position by aggressively filing for additional patents on an ongoing basis. A portion of these costs are recorded as research and development expense as incurred and a portion are capitalized and amortized as general and administrative expense. We may also incur additional legal and related expenses associated with the defense and enforcement of our intellectual property portfolio, which could increase our general and administrative expenses beyond those currently planned.

     Cash and Cash Flow. Our cash balances are held in the United States and the United Kingdom. Our intent is that the cash balances will remain in these countries for future growth and investments and we will meet any liquidity requirements in the United States through ongoing cash flows, external financing, or both. Our primary use of cash has been to fund our operating losses, working capital requirements, acquisitions and capital expenditures necessitated by our growth. The growth of our business has required, and will continue to require, investments in accounts receivable and inventories. Our primary sources of liquidity have been funds provided by issuances of equity securities and proceeds from the sale of intellectual property assets.
    Net cash used in operating activities. Cash was used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 primarily for growth in inventory. In 2005, we expect to use cash in operating activities as a result of anticipated operating losses and changes in working capital. Our consolidated cash flow operating metrics are as follows:
                 
    September 30,
    2005   2004
Days outstanding in ending accounts receivable (“DSOs”)
    86       83  
Inventory turns
    6       6  
      The increase in DSOs at September 30, 2005 compared to September 30, 2004, is primarily due to a slow-down in payment by large customers, including RadioShack and Motorola in connection with the ramp-up of various new programs with these customers. We expect DSOs to remain consistent or to improve slightly throughout the remainder of 2005 and into 2006 as we continue to leverage our key OEM, private-label reseller and retail customer relationships. Inventory turns remained consistent at September 30, 2005 compared to September 30, 2004. We expect to continue to manage inventory growth during the remainder of 2005 and into 2006, and we expect inventory turns to remain consistent as we increase sales volumes in the remainder of 2005 and into 2006.
 
    Net cash used in investing activities. As a result of funds received during the nine months ended September 30, 2005 in connection with the sale of intellectual property assets and equity investments made by RadioShack and Motorola, we invested $21.0 million in various short-term corporate and government securities. These investments were partially offset by net proceeds of $11.7 million received in connection with our sale of intellectual property assets during the nine months ended September 30, 2005. We also used cash for the purchase of property and equipment. We anticipate future investment in capital equipment, primarily for tooling equipment to be used in the production of new products.
 
    Net cash provided by financing activities. Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 was primarily from net proceeds from equity investments by RadioShack and Motorola combined with exercises of stock options and warrants and payment of stock subscription receivables. Although we expect to generate cash flows from operations sufficient to support our operations over the long-term, we may issue additional shares of stock in the future to generate cash for growth opportunities.
     As of September 30, 2005, we had approximately $148 million of federal, foreign and state net operating loss carryforwards which expire at various dates. We anticipate that the sale of common stock in our initial public offering coupled with prior sales of common stock will cause an annual limitation on the use of our net operating loss carryforwards pursuant to the change in ownership provisions of Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. This limitation is expected to have a material effect on the timing of our ability to use the net operating loss carryforward in the future.

Additionally, our ability to use the net operating loss carryforward is dependent upon our level of future profitability, which currently cannot be determined.
     Financing Facilities. In July 2004, we amended our $10.0 million bank line of credit. The line bears interest at prime, interest only payments are due monthly, with final payment of interest and principal due on July 31, 2006. The line of credit is secured by all of our assets and subject to financial covenants, with which we were in compliance as of September 30, 2005. We had no outstanding balance against this line of credit as of September 30, 2005. Under the terms of the line, we can borrow up to 80% of eligible accounts receivable. At September 30, 2005, our net borrowing base capacity was approximately $9.4 million.
     Contractual Obligations. In our day-to-day business activities, we incur certain commitments to make future payments under contracts such as operating leases and purchase orders. Maturities under these contracts are set forth in the following table as of September 30, 2005 (amounts in thousands):

     Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements. We have no off-balance sheet financing arrangements.
     Acquisitions and dispositions. In the past we have made acquisitions of other companies to complement our product offerings and expand our revenue base. In September 2002 we acquired iGo Corporation through one of our wholly owned subsidiaries, iGo Direct Corporation. Certain former officers of iGo Corporation are now seeking potential indemnification claims against iGo Direct Corporation relating to a Securities and Exchange Commission matter involving such individuals (but not involving us) that relates to matters that arose prior to our acquisition of iGo Corporation. We are pursuing coverage under iGo’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy for this potential iGo indemnification matter. In the event this coverage is not received, iGo may be responsible for additional costs and expenses associated with this matter.
     During 2004, we sold the assets of our handheld software product line for approximately $1.3 million in cash and current receivables, and approximately $2.5 million in notes receivable. Proceeds from the sale exceeded book value of the assets sold by approximately $881,000. This gain has been deferred until collectibility of the notes receivable is reasonably assured.
     On May 6, 2005, we sold a portfolio of patents and patents pending relating to our Split Bridge and serialized PCI intellectual property for gross proceeds of $13.0 million, resulting in the recognition of a gain of $11.6 million.
     Our future strategy includes the possible acquisition of other businesses to continue to expand or complement our operations. The magnitude, timing and nature of any future acquisitions will depend on a number of factors, including the availability of suitable acquisition candidates, the negotiation of acceptable terms, our financial capabilities and general economic and business conditions. Financing of future acquisitions would result in the utilization of cash, incurrence of additional debt, or both. Our future strategy may also include the possible disposition of assets that are not considered integral to our business, which would likely result in the generation of cash.
     Liquidity Outlook. Based on our projections, we believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next 12 months. If we require additional capital resources to grow our business internally or to acquire complementary technologies and businesses at any time in the future, we may use our line of credit or seek to sell additional equity or debt securities. The sale of additional equity or convertible debt securities would result in more dilution to our stockholders. In addition, additional capital resources may not be available to us in amounts or on terms that are acceptable to us.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
     In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (Revised 2004) (“SFAS 123R”), “Share-Based Payment”, which revised Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”. This statement supercedes APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”. The revised statement addresses the accounting for share-based payment transactions with employees and other third parties, eliminates the ability to account for share-based compensation transactions using APB 25, and requires

25


Table of Contents

that the compensation costs relating to such transactions be recognized in the consolidated statement of operations. On April 15, 2005, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission adopted a new rule amending the compliance dates for SFAS 123R. In accordance with the new rule, the accounting provisions of SFAS 123R will be effective for the Company in 2006. The Company will adopt the provisions of SFAS 123R using a modified prospective application. Under modified prospective application, SFAS 123R, which provides certain changes to the method for valuing share-based compensation among other changes, will apply to new awards and to awards that are outstanding on the effective date and are subsequently modified or cancelled. Compensation expense for outstanding awards for which the vesting period has not been completed as of the effective date will be recognized over the remaining vesting period using the compensation cost calculated for pro forma disclosure purposes under SFAS 123R.
     In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 153 (“SFAS 153”), “Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets—an amendment of APB Opinion No. 29”. SFAS 153 amends the guidance in APB Opinion No. 29, “Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions”, based on the principle that exchanges of nonmonetary assets should be measured based on the fair value of the assets exchanged. The guidance in Opinion 29, however, included certain exceptions to that principle. SFAS 153 amends Opinion 29 to eliminate the exception for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with a general exception for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial substance. A nonmonetary exchange has commercial substance if the future cash flows of the entity are expected to change significantly as a result of the exchange. The provisions of SFAS 153 are effective for nonmonetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005. The provisions of SFAS 153 are not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
     In November 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 151 (“SFAS 151”), “Inventory Costs—an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4”. SFAS 151 amends the guidance in ARB No. 43, Chapter 4, “Inventory Pricing,” to clarify the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted material (spoilage). This statement requires that those items be recognized as current-period charges. In addition, SFAS 151 requires that allocation of fixed production overheads to the costs of conversion be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. The provisions of SFAS 151 are effective for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. The provisions of SFAS 151 are not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
     In May 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 154 (“SFAS 154”), “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections,” a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3. SFAS 154 requires retrospective application to prior period financial statements for changes in accounting principles, unless it is impracticable to determine either the period-specific effects or the cumulative effect of the change. SFAS 154 also requires that retrospective application of a change in accounting principle be limited to the direct effects of the change. Indirect effects of a change in accounting principle should be recognized in the period of the accounting change. SFAS 154 further requires a change in depreciation, amortization or depletion method for long-lived, non-financial assets to be accounted for as a change in accounting estimate affected by a change in accounting principle. SFAS 154 will become effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2006.
     In June 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 143-1 (“FSP FAS 143-1”), “Accounting for Electronic Equipment Waste Obligations.” FSP FAS 143-1 addresses the accounting for obligations associated with Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (the “Directive”) adopted by the European Union (“EU”). FSP FAS 143-1 is effective the later of the first reporting period that ends after June 8, 2005 or the date that the first EU member country in which a company has significant operations adopts the law. As of September 30, 2005, no EU-member country in which the Company has significant operations had adopted the law.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
     We are exposed to certain market risks in the ordinary course of our business. These risks result primarily from changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. In addition, our international operations are subject to risks related to differing economic conditions, changes in political climate, differing tax structures and other regulations and restrictions.
     To date we have not utilized derivative financial instruments or derivative commodity instruments. We do not expect to employ these or other strategies to hedge market risk in the foreseeable future. We invest our cash in money market funds, which are subject to minimal credit and market risk. We believe that the market risks associated with these financial instruments are immaterial.
     See “Liquidity and Capital Resources” for further discussion of our financing facilities and capital structure. Market risk, calculated as the potential change in fair value of our cash and cash equivalents and line of credit resulting from a hypothetical 1.0% (100 basis point) change in interest rates, was not material at September 30, 2005.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
     Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures — We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure based on the definition of “disclosure controls and procedures” in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply judgment in evaluating our controls and procedures. With the participation of the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2005. In such evaluation, and in light of the restatement (see Note 1 to condensed consolidated financial statements), management identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting related to accounting for costs incurred in connection with business combinations. Specifically, we did not have effective policies and procedures, and lacked effective reviews by personnel at an appropriate level, for accounting for the costs incurred related to business combinations, to ensure that such costs were accounted for in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Based on this evaluation, and as a result of the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2005.
     Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting — There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2005 that materially affected, or were reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. Subsequent to the discovery of the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting related to accounting for costs incurred in connection with business combinations, however, we have implemented a new procedure as part of our internal control over financial reporting that requires additional management approval for all transactions affecting goodwill, and adds an additional level of management review to evaluate on a quarterly basis the accounting treatment of costs associated with business combinations to determine that such treatment is consistent with the guidance of SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations. We believe this change will be effective in remediating the aforementioned material weakness.

PART II: OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
     Holmes Lundt, et al., plaintiffs, and Jason Carnahan, et. al., intervenors, v. Mobility Electronics, Inc., Portsmith, Inc., Charles R. Mollo, Joan W. Brubacher, and Jeffrey R. Harris, pending in the District Court of the Fourth Judicial District of Idaho, Ada County, Case No. CV-0C-0302562D. This lawsuit initially was commenced on April 2, 2003, by Holmes Lundt, former President and CEO of Mobility Idaho, Inc. (formerly Portsmith, Inc.), the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, and his wife, but additional plaintiffs were added, and several of the Company’s officers and directors were added as defendants. The claims asserted arise substantially out of the transactions surrounding the Company’s acquisition of Portsmith in February 2002. Among other things, plaintiffs and intervenors disputed that the Company appropriately calculated and paid the earn-out consideration called for by the Portsmith merger agreement. The court issued an order on April 15, 2004 granting the Company’s motion for partial summary judgment on this pricing issue, meaning the court agreed that the Company had properly calculated the pricing of the shares issued by the Company in the Portsmith merger. The court subsequently affirmed this decision on November 18, 2004, pursuant to the plaintiffs’ motion for reconsideration. The Carnahan plaintiffs filed a second amended complaint with the court on December 13, 2004, the Lundt plaintiffs filed a third amended complaint with the court on February 14, 2005, and a new set of plaintiffs, also former stockholders of Portsmith, filed an initial complaint with the court on February 18, 2005 titled Jess Asla, et. al., plaintiffs v. Mobility Electronics, Inc., Charles Mollo and Joan Brubacher in the District Court of the Fourth Judicial District of Idaho, Ada County, which was later amended and served on August 11, 2005. The Asla case was subsequently removed on August 24, 2005 to federal court where it is now pending in the United States District Court for the District of Idaho, Case No. CIV 05-342-S-BLW. All three of these complaints assert claims for breach of contract, breach of an alleged covenant of good faith and fair dealing, unjust enrichment, declaratory judgment, breach of fiduciary duty, constructive trust, conversion, and interference with prospective economic advantage. The Lundt plaintiffs also assert claims for breach of Mr. Lundt’s employment agreement, and wrongful termination of Mr. Lundt. All three complaints seek monetary damages. On March 17, 2005, the Company filed separate motions to dismiss the complaints brought by the Lundt and Carnahan plaintiffs, and on June 14, 2005, the court issued an order denying these motions. On June 24, 2005, the Company filed a second amended counterclaim against both the Lundt and Carnahan plaintiffs, asserting claims for fraud and misrepresentation, unjust enrichment, breach of fiduciary duties, promissory estoppel, conversion, breach of contract, abuse of process, right of offset, declaratory judgment, breach of good faith and fair dealing, interference with prospective economic advantage, violations of Idaho and/or Delaware securities laws, indemnity and civil conspiracy. On July 25, 2005, the Lundt and Carnahan plaintiffs filed a motion to dismiss the counterclaims filed by the Company. On October 7, the court granted the Lundt and Carnahan plaintiffs’ motion to dismiss the Company’s breach of fiduciary duty claims against the plaintiffs other than Lundt, but denied all of the Lundt and Carnahan plaintiffs’ other motions to dismiss. The Company seeks monetary damages in its counterclaim. The Lundt and Carnahan case is currently set for trial

in June 2006. A trial date has not yet been set for the Asla case. The Company intends to vigorously defend against the claims as well as pursue its own counterclaims against all plaintiffs.
     On May 7, 2004, the Company filed separate complaints with the International Trade Commission (the “ITC”) in Washington, DC and the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, Case No. 5:04-CV-103, against Formosa Electronic Industries, Inc. (“Formosa”), Micro Innovations Corp. and SPS, Inc. On July 13, 2004, the Company filed an amended complaint with the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas to add Sakar International Inc. and Worldwide Marketing Ltd. as parties to the federal district court action. With the exception of Formosa, the Company subsequently reached favorable settlements with each of the other defendants and dismissed them from both the ITC and federal district court actions. In addition, the Company subsequently and voluntarily terminated its ITC action against Formosa and is instead aggressively pursuing all of its claims against Formosa through the federal district court action in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas. The Company’s current fourth amended complaint filed with the court in September 2005, titled Mobility Electronics, Inc. v. Formosa Electronics Industries, Inc., Case No. 504-CV-103 DF, pending in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, alleges infringement of one or more claims of U.S. Patent Nos. 5,347,211, 6,064,177, 6,643,158, 6,650,560, 6,700,808, 6,755,163, 6,920,056, and 6,937,490 owned by the Company, as well as misappropriation of trade secrets, conversion, violation of the Texas Theft Liability Act, and conspiracy. The Company has also filed an application for preliminary injunction against Formosa. The Company, in its complaint, seeks a permanent injunction against further use of its trade secrets and further infringement of these patents, as well as compensatory and treble damages. Formosa, in January 2005, filed a motion to dismiss. A hearing on Mobility’s application for preliminary injunction was held in August 2005, but the Court has not yet issued a ruling on that motion. A trial has tentatively been scheduled for April 2006. The Company intends to vigorously pursue its claim in this action.
     On August 26, 2004, the Company and iGo Direct Corporation, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, filed a complaint against Twin City Fire Insurance Co. in the United States District Court for the District of Nevada, Case No. CV-N-04-0460-HDM-RAM. The complaint alleges several causes of action in connection with Twin City’s refusal to cover, under director and liability insurance policies issued to iGo by Twin City, fees and expenses incurred in connection with the defense of certain former officers of iGo relating to a Securities and Exchange Commission matter that arose prior to the Company’s acquisition of iGo Corporation in September 2002. Twin City filed an answer to this complaint on September 20, 2004. On January 10, 2005, the Company filed a motion for summary judgment seeking an order from the court that, as a matter of law, Twin City breached, and continues to breach, its obligations under the director and liability insurance policies. On July 26, 2005, the court denied the Company and iGo Direct Corporation’s motion for summary judgment, without prejudice. On October 21, 2005, the Company and iGo Direct Corporation again filed a motion for summary judgment seeking an order from the court that, as a matter of law, Twin City breached, and continues to breach, its obligations under the director and liability insurance policies. The Company and iGo Direct Corporation will continue to vigorously pursue their claims in this action.
     We are from time to time involved in various legal proceedings other than those set forth above incidental to the conduct of our business. We believe that the outcome of all such pending legal proceedings will not in the aggregate have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.
