Our Industry
 
Over the past two decades, technological advancements in the electronics industry have greatly expanded mobile device capabilities. Mobile electronic devices, many of which can be used for both business and personal purposes, include portable computers, mobile phones, smartphones, portable digital assistants (PDAs), handheld devices, digital cameras, portable DVD players, MP3 players, and portable game consoles. The popularity of these devices is benefiting from reductions in size, weight and cost and improvements in functionality, storage capacity and reliability. In addition, advances in wireless connectivity technologies, such as Bluetooth® wireless technology and Wi-Fi, have enabled remote access to data networks and the Internet.
 
Increased functionality and the ability to access and manage information remotely are driving the proliferation of mobile electronic devices and applications. As the work force becomes more mobile and spends more time away from traditional work settings, users have sought out and become reliant on tools that provide management of critical information and access to wireless voice and data networks. Each of these mobile electronic 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.
 
Our products support mobile electronic devices in several market categories.
 
  •  Portable Computer Market.  According to IDC, a subsidiary of International Data Group, a technology media and research company, the worldwide market for portable computers is expected to grow at a compounded annual growth rate, or CAGR, of about 16.8% from approximately 187 million units in 2009 to about 298 million units in 2012. The U.S. market is expected to grow at a CAGR of about 14.1% from approximately 41 million units in 2009 to about 61 million units in 2012.
 
  •  Low Power Mobile Electronic Devices.  According to IDC, the worldwide market for low power mobile electronic devices, which includes mobile phones, converged mobile devices, PDAs, portable media players, and portable game consoles is expected to grow at a CAGR of about 1.6% from approximately 1.9 billion units in 2009 to about 2 billion units in 2012. The U.S. market is expected to remain flat at approximately 317 million units in 2009 compared to about 316 million units in 2012.
 
  •  Handheld and Converged Mobile Device Market.  According to IDC, the worldwide market for converged mobile devices, which includes smartphones and other handheld devices with telephony and data capabilities, is expected to grow at a CAGR of about 19.6% from approximately 198 million units in 2009 to about 339 million units in 2012. The U.S. market for converged mobile devices is expected to grow at a CAGR of about 19.7% from approximately 50 million units in 2009 to about 85 million units in 2012.
 
As mobile electronic devices gain widespread acceptance, users will continue to confront limitations on their use, driven by such things as battery life, charging flexibility, compatibility issues, data input challenges and performance requirements. Furthermore, as users seek to manage multiple devices in their daily routine, the limitations of any one of these functions will tend to be exacerbated.
 
Mobile electronic device users, by definition, largely require the use of their devices while away from their home or office. Many mobile electronic devices offer designs and form factors that support portability and travel comfort; however, these mobile devices have limited battery life, which results in the need to frequently connect to a power source to operate the device or recharge the battery. A number of factors limit the efficient use and charging of these devices:
 
  •  Most power adapters are compatible with either AC-only power sources located in places such as a home, office or hotel room, or DC-only power sources such as those located in automobiles, planes, and trains;
 
  •  The majority of power adapters are model-specific requiring a mobile user to carry a dedicated power adapter for each device;
 
  •  Mobile electronic devices are generally packaged with only one power adapter, forcing many users to purchase additional power adapters for convenience and ease of use; and
 
  •  Mobile electronic device users tend to carry multiple devices and at times only one power source is available, such as an automobile’s cigarette lighter, limiting a user’s ability to recharge multiple devices.
 
Mobile electronic device users, who usually have limited available space in their briefcase or luggage, desire solutions that make their mobile experience more convenient. We believe this creates the need for universal power adapters that have the ability to simultaneously charge multiple mobile electronic devices.
 
Our Solutions
 
Our innovative power solutions eliminate the need for mobile electronic device users to carry multiple power adapters to operate and charge their devices. Our AC/DC combination power adapters work with any available power source, including the AC wall outlet in a home, office or hotel room, or the DC cigarette lighter plug in an automobile, airplane, or train. Our battery-powered universal power adapters allow users to charge a variety of their mobile electronic devices when they do not have access to an AC or DC power source. Our patented intelligent tip technology allows a user to carry a few lightweight interchangeable tips in combination with a single adapter to charge a variety of devices, including a substantial portion of the portable computers, mobile phones, smartphones,

Table of Contents

PDAs, and other mobile electronic devices currently in the market. Further, device users can simultaneously charge multiple devices by using a single adapter and the appropriate intelligent tips with our optional iGo dualpower or iGo power splitter accessories.
 
Our Strategy
 
We intend to capitalize on our current strategic position in the mobile electronic device market by continuing to introduce innovative high-technology products that suit the needs of a broad range of users of these devices. It is our goal to be a market leader in providing unique, innovative power solutions to mobile users. Elements of our strategy include:
 
Continue To Develop Innovative Products.  We have a history of designing and developing highly differentiated products to serve the needs and enhance the experience of mobile electronic device users. We intend to continue to develop and market a broad range of highly differentiated power and complementary products that address additional markets in which we choose to compete. We also intend to protect our intellectual property position in these markets by aggressively filing for additional patents on an ongoing basis and, as necessary, pursuing infringers of our intellectual property.
 
Establish iGo Tip Standard.  Our patented intelligent tip technology allows a user to carry a few lightweight interchangeable tips in combination with a single adapter to charge a variety of mobile electronic devices. Our strategy is to establish a standard based on this technology in combination with our proprietary tip architecture under the brand name “iGo.” We intend to continue to recruit a broad base of wireless carriers, retailers, and distributors to proliferate this universal tip standard.
 
Source complementary non-power accessories.  We intend to source a variety of non-power accessories that are complementary to our power products. Our strategy is to market a broad assortment of products that accessorize mobile electronic devices under the brand name “iGo.”
 
Broaden Distribution of iGo Branded Product.  We intend to develop relationships with a broader set of retailers and wireless carriers, some of whom may be served through distribution partners, to expand the market availability of our iGo branded products. We expect that these relationships will allow us to diversify our customer base, add stability and decrease our traditional reliance upon a limited number of private label resellers. We also expect that these relationships will significantly increase the availability and exposure of our products, particularly among large national and international retailers and wireless carriers.
 
Our Products
 
We provide a broad range of power products designed to satisfy the needs of the mobile electronic device user while traveling, at home or in the office. The following is a description of our primary products by category, which are sold both under our iGo brand and the brands of our private-label reseller, distribution and retail customers.

  adapters. Sales of our portable computer power products represented approximately 59%, 62% and 60% of our total revenue for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
 
  •  Power Products for Low-Power Mobile Electronic Devices.  During 2004, we introduced our first power adapters designed for use with mobile electronic products with power requirements lower than those of portable computers, such as mobile phones, smartphones, PDAs, digital cameras, MP3 players, and portable game consoles. These products include a range of DC cigarette lighter adapters, mobile AC adapters, combination AC/DC adapters, and battery-powered adapters. This family of power adapters also utilizes our patented intelligent and interchangeable tip technology which allows a single power adapter to plug into a substantial number of mobile electronic devices other than portable computers. When combined with our optional iGo dualpower or iGo power splitter accessories, the user of these power adapters can simultaneously charge multiple mobile electronic devices. Sales of these power adapters represented approximately 30%, 25%, and 16% of our total revenue for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
 
Accessories.  In the past we have also marketed a number of mobile device accessories such as monitor stands, portable computer stands and foldable keyboards. Sales of these products represented approximately 1%, 4%, and 4% of our total revenue for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007, and 2006, respectively.
 
Expansion and Docking Products.  In April 2007, we sold the expansion and docking business to Mission Technology Group. Mission Technology Group’s results of operations are consolidated with ours because Mission Technology Group is obligated to repay the promissory notes it issued to us in connection with this sale, and we have determined that we are the primary beneficiary of this variable interest entity. Mission Technology Group offers a variety of PCI slot expansion products for portable computers, desktop computers and servers. For more information, see Item 7 “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Recent Developments, and — Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates, Variable Interest Entities.” Sales of expansion and docking products represented approximately 10%, 9%, and 6% of our total revenue for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
 
Sales and Marketing
 
We market and sell our products on a worldwide basis to private-label resellers, retailers, resellers, distributors, wireless carriers and directly to end users through our iGo.com website. Our sales organization is primarily aligned along our core retail and distribution channels and geographies throughout North America and Europe. During 2008, approximately 45% of our sales were through private label resellers and OEMs, and approximately 45% of our sales were through retailers and distributors.
 
Our total global revenue consisted of the following regional results: North American sales of $73.9 million, or 96% of our consolidated revenue; Asia Pacific sales of $1.1 million, or 1% of our consolidated revenue; and European sales of $2.1 million, or 3% of our consolidated revenue.
 
We have implemented a variety of marketing activities to market our family of products including participation in major trade shows, key distribution catalogs, distribution promotions, reseller and information technology manager advertising, on-line advertising and banner ads, direct mail and bundle advertisements with retail and distribution channel partners and cooperative advertising with our retail partners. In addition, we pursue a public relations program to educate the market regarding our products.
 
Customers
 
We sell to private-label resellers, distributors, resellers, retailers and directly to end users through our iGo.com website. Our largest customers for 2008 included:
 
 
Private Label Resellers
 
Targus

As groups, the Private Label Resellers and Retailers / Distributors listed in the table above accounted for 42% and 43%, respectively, of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2008, compared to 35% and 34% for the year ended December 31, 2007 and 25% and 23% for the year ended December 31, 2006. Our distributors sell a wide range of our products to value-added resellers, system integrators, cataloguers, major retail outlets and certain OEM fulfillment outlets worldwide.
 
Targus, which is a private-label reseller of accessories for mobile electronic devices, accounted for 42% of our revenue for the year ended December 31, 2008. RadioShack, a retailer of consumer electronic devices, accounted for 33% of our revenue for the year ended December 31, 2008. The loss of any one or more of Targus, RadioShack or any of our remaining other major customers would likely have a material adverse effect on our business. No customer other than Targus or RadioShack accounted for greater than 10% of sales for the year ended December 31, 2008.
 
For our distribution and retail customers, we build product and maintain inventory at various third-party warehouses that are under our control until these customers place, and we fulfill, purchase orders for this product. For private label resellers, we build product to the private label resellers’ orders, who take possession of the inventory upon delivery to a freight forwarder. For wireless carriers, we retain ownership of inventory until the product sells through to consumers.
 
As is generally the practice in our industry, a portion of our sales to distributors and retailers is generally under terms that provide for stock balancing return privileges and price protection. Accordingly, we make a provision for estimated sales returns and other allowances related to those sales. Returns, which are netted against our reported revenue, were approximately 1% of revenue for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Also, as is generally the practice in our industry, our OEM and private-label reseller customers only have return rights in the event that our product is defective. Accordingly, we make a provision for estimated defective product warranty claims for these customers. Defective product warranty claims were less than 1% of revenue for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
 
Backlog
 
Our backlog at February 24, 2009 was approximately $9.7 million, compared with backlog of approximately $10.4 million at February 21, 2008. Backlog includes orders confirmed with a purchase order for products scheduled to be shipped within 90 days to customers with approved credit status. Because of the generally short cycle between order and shipment and occasional customer changes in delivery schedules or cancellation of orders (which are made without significant penalty), we do not believe that our backlog, as of any particular date, is necessarily indicative of actual net sales for any future period.
 
Research and Development
 
Our research and development efforts focus primarily on enhancing our current products and developing innovative new products to address a variety of mobile electronic device needs and requirements. We work with customers, prospective customers and outsource partners to identify and implement new solutions intended to meet the current and future needs of the markets we serve.

Table of Contents

As of December 31, 2008, our research and development group consisted of 14 people who are responsible for hardware and software design and product testing. Mission Technology Group employed eight research and development personnel at December 31, 2008. Electrical design services are provided to us by several of our outsource partners under the supervision of our in-house research and development group. Amounts spent on research and development for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007, and 2006 were $3.5 million, $5.2 million, and $7.8 million, respectively.
 
Manufacturing and Logistics
 
In order to manufacture our products cost-effectively, we have implemented a strategy to outsource substantially all of the manufacturing services for our products. Our internal activities are focused on design, low-volume manufacturing and quality testing and our outsourced manufacturing providers are focused on high-volume manufacturing and logistics.
 
We currently have relationships for the manufacture of our family of universal power products with various manufacturing entities primarily located in China. In addition to providing manufacturing services, a number of these companies also provide us with some level of design and development services.
 
We purchase the principal components of our products from outside vendors. The terms of supply contracts are negotiated by us or our manufacturing partners with each vendor. We believe that our present vendors have sufficient capacity to meet our supply requirements and that alternative production sources for most components are generally available without interruption, however, several vendors are sole sourced. In order to ensure timely delivery of products to customers, from time to time, we issue letters of authorization to our suppliers that authorize them to secure long lead components in advance of purchase orders for products. Further information about commitments and contingencies relating to letters of authorization is contained in Note 19 to the Consolidated Financial Statements contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
 
The majority of our private-label products are shipped by our outsource manufacturers to our private-label reseller customers or their fulfillment hubs. We employ the services of an outsource logistics company to efficiently manage the packaging and shipment of our iGo branded products to our various retail and distribution channels.
 
Competition
 
The market for our products is intensely competitive, subject to rapid change and sensitive to new product introductions or enhancements and marketing efforts by industry participants. The principal competitive factors affecting the markets for our product offerings include corporate and product reputation, innovation with frequent product enhancement, breadth of integrated product line, product design, functionality and features, product quality, performance, ease-of-use, support and price.
 
Although we believe that our products compete favorably with respect to such factors, there can be no assurance that we can maintain our competitive position against current or potential competitors, especially those with greater financial, marketing, service, support, technical or other competitive resources. However, we believe that our innovative products, coupled with our strategic relationships with private-label resellers, retailers, resellers, distributors, and wireless carriers provide us with a competitive advantage in the marketplace.
 
Our power products primarily compete with products offered by low-cost manufacturers of model-specific adapters and specialized third party mobile computing accessory companies, including American Power Conversion, Belkin, Comarco, Lind, and RRC Power Solutions. In addition, we compete with the internal design efforts of some of our customers.
 
Proprietary Rights
 
We seek to establish and maintain our proprietary rights in our technology and products through the use of patents, copyrights, trademarks, and trade secret laws. We have a program to file applications for and obtain patents, copyrights, and trademarks in the United States and in selected foreign countries where we believe filing for such protection is appropriate. We also seek to maintain our trade secrets and confidential information by nondisclosure policies and through the use of appropriate confidentiality agreements. As of March 6, 2009, we held approximately


9


Table of Contents

237 patents and patents pending worldwide relating to our power technology. There can be no assurance, however, that the rights we have obtained can be successfully enforced against infringing products in every jurisdiction. Although we believe the protection afforded by our patents, copyrights, trademarks, and trade secrets has value, the rapidly changing technology in our industry and uncertainties in the legal process make our future success dependent primarily on the innovative skills, technological expertise, and management abilities of our employees rather than on the protection afforded by patent, copyright, trademark, and trade secret laws.
 
Some of our products are also designed to include software or other intellectual property licensed from third parties. While it may be necessary in the future to seek or renew licenses relating to various aspects of our products, we believe, based upon past experience and standard industry practice that such licenses generally could be obtained on commercially reasonable terms. Nonetheless, there can be no assurance that the necessary licenses would be available on acceptable terms, if at all. Our inability to obtain certain licenses or other rights or to obtain such licenses or rights on favorable terms, or the need to engage in litigation regarding these matters, could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, and financial condition. Moreover, inclusion in our products of software or other intellectual property licensed from third parties on a nonexclusive basis can limit our ability to protect our proprietary rights in our products.
 
There can be no assurance that our patents and other proprietary rights will not be challenged, invalidated, or circumvented; that others will not assert intellectual property rights to technologies that are relevant to us; or that our rights will give us a competitive advantage. In addition, the laws of some foreign countries may not protect our proprietary rights to the same extent as the laws of the United States.
 
Employees
 
As of December 31, 2008 we had 63 full-time employees, 55 located in the United States, 5 located in Asia and 3 located in Europe, including 10 employed in operations, 14 in engineering, 23 in sales and marketing and 16 in administration. We engage temporary employees from time to time to augment our full time employees, generally in operations. None of our employees are covered by a collective bargaining agreement. We believe we have good relationships with our employees. Mission Technology Group had 30 full-time employees at December 31, 2008.

Risks Related To Our Business
 
If our revenue is not sufficient to absorb our expenses, we will not be profitable in the future.
 
We have experienced significant operating losses since inception and, as of December 31, 2008, have an accumulated deficit of $131 million. We intend to make expenditures on an ongoing basis to support our operations, primarily from cash generated from operations and, if available, from lines of credit, as we develop and introduce new products and expand into new markets. If we do not achieve revenue growth sufficient to absorb our planned expenses, we will experience additional losses in future periods. In addition, there can be no assurance that we will achieve or sustain profitability.
 
Our future success is dependent on market acceptance of our power products, particularly in light of the divestiture of our connectivity business and our decision to discontinue the production and marketing of our foldable keyboard products. If acceptance of our power products does not continue to grow, we will not be able to increase or sustain our revenue, and our business will be severely harmed. If we do not achieve widespread market acceptance of our power products and technology, we may not maintain our existing revenue or achieve anticipated revenue. For example, we currently derive a material portion of our revenue from the sale of our power adapter products. These universal power adapters represent a relatively new product category in the mobile electronics industry. We anticipate that a material portion of our revenue in the foreseeable future will be derived from our family of universal power products and similar power products in this relatively new market category that we are currently developing or plan to develop. We can give no assurance that this market category will develop sufficiently to cover our expenses and costs or that we will be able to develop similar power products. Moreover, our power products may not achieve widespread market acceptance if:
 
  •  we lose, or fail to replace, any significant retail or distribution partners;
 
  •  we fail to expand or protect our proprietary rights and intellectual property;
 
  •  we fail to complete development of these products in a timely manner;
 
  •  we fail to achieve the performance criteria required of these products by our customers; or
 
  •  competitors introduce similar or superior products.
 
In addition, the retail version of our universal power adapter products includes a feature that allows a single version of these products to be used with almost any mobile electronic device. If mobile electronic device manufacturers choose to design and manufacture their products in such a way as to limit the use of universal devices with their devices, it could reduce the applicability of a universal power adapter product and limit market acceptance of our power products at the retail level.
 
Our operating results are subject to significant fluctuations, and if our results are worse than expected, our stock price could fall.
 
Our operating results have fluctuated in the past, and may continue to fluctuate in the future. It is likely that in some future quarter or quarters our operating results will be below the expectations of securities analysts and investors. If this happens, the market price for our common stock may decline significantly. The factors that may cause our operating results to fall short of expectations include:
 
  •  the timing of our new product and technology introductions and product enhancements relative to our competitors or changes in our or our competitors’ pricing policies;
 
  •  market acceptance of our products;
 
  •  the size and timing of customer orders;
 
  •  our ability to effectively manage inventory levels;
 
  •  delay or failure to fulfill orders for our products on a timely basis;
 
  •  distribution of or changes in our revenue among private-label resellers, distribution partners, and retailers;


11


Table of Contents

 
  •  our inability to accurately forecast our contract manufacturing needs;
 
  •  difficulties with new product production implementation or supply chain;
 
  •  our suppliers’ ability to perform under their contracts with us;
 
  •  product defects and other product quality problems which may result from the development of new products;
 
  •  the degree and rate of growth of the markets in which we compete and the accompanying demand for our products;
 
  •  our ability to expand our internal and external sales forces and build the required infrastructure to meet anticipated growth; and
 
  •  seasonality of sales.
 
Many of these factors are beyond our control. For these reasons, you should not rely on period-to-period comparisons and short-term fluctuations of our financial results to forecast our future long-term performance.
 
We depend on large purchases from a small number of significant customers, and any loss, cancellation or delay in purchases by these customers could cause a shortfall in revenue, excess inventory and inventory holding or obsolescence charges.
 
We have historically derived a substantial portion of our revenue from a relatively small number of customers. Our two largest customers, Targus and RadioShack, comprised 75% of our revenue for the year ended December 31, 2008. These customers typically do not have minimum purchase requirements and can stop purchasing our products at any time or with very short notice. In addition, most customer agreements are short term and non-exclusive and provide for purchases on a purchase order basis. We expect that a small number of customers will continue to represent a substantial percentage of our sales. If any of our other major customers reduce, delay or cancel orders with us, and we are not able to sell our products to new customers at comparable levels, our revenue could decline significantly and could result in excess inventory and inventory holding or obsolescence charges. In addition, any difficulty in collecting amounts due from one or more key customers would negatively impact our result of operations.
 
The average selling prices of our products may decrease over their sales cycles, especially upon the introduction of new products, which may negatively affect our gross margins.
 
Our products may experience a reduction in the average selling prices over their respective sales cycles. Further, as we introduce new or next generation products, sales prices of previous generation products may decline substantially. In order to sell products that have a falling average selling price and maintain margins at the same time, we need to continually reduce product and manufacturing costs. To manage manufacturing costs, we must collaborate with our third-party manufacturers to engineer the most cost-effective design for our products. There can be no assurances we will be successful in our efforts to reduce these costs. In order to do so, we must carefully manage the price paid for components used in our products as well as manage our freight and inventory costs to reduce overall product costs. If we are unable to reduce the cost of older products as newer products are introduced, our average gross margins may decline.
 
Our success is dependent in part upon our relationships with a limited number of strategic resellers.
 
We have entered into relationships with a small number of strategic resellers. Our relationships with strategic resellers, particularly our private-label partner Targus, are critical to our success, and the failure of these resellers to purchase, and successfully market and distribute our products will limit our success and the market acceptance of our universal power adapters. For example, one or more private-label reseller partners could decide to distribute products manufactured by a competitor in addition to our family of power products and/or subsequently discontinue its sales of our family of power products. In the event other resellers discontinue the sale of our power products or are unsuccessful in marketing and distributing our products, our revenue will suffer, which is likely to have a negative impact on the price of our common stock.


12


Table of Contents

In addition, under the terms of our agreement with Targus, our direct access to certain U.S. markets has been limited for the sale of some of the power products we offer for use with high-power mobile electronic devices, and the agreement also provides that we may not enter into any more than two broad-based, private-label distribution agreements. Accordingly, our success will depend in part upon Targus’ ability and willingness to effectively and widely distribute and market our products. For example, because the Targus distribution channel includes large retailers such as Best Buy, we are limited in our ability to distribute some of our high-power products to similar retailers directly. If Targus does not purchase the volume of products that we anticipate, our results of operations will suffer.
 
The success of our relationship with strategic resellers, such as Targus, will also depend in part upon their success in marketing and selling our products outside of the United States. The international sales by our strategic resellers are subject to a number of risks that could limit sales of our products. These risks include:
 
  •  the impact of possible recessionary environments in foreign economies;
 
  •  political and economic instability;
 
  •  unexpected changes in regulatory requirements;
 
  •  export restriction and availability of export licenses; and
 
  •  tariffs and other trade barriers.
 
We will need to expand sales through distributors and resellers in order to develop our business and increase revenue.
 
We rely to a large extent on distributors and resellers for the distribution and sale of our products. Our strategy contemplates the expansion of our distributor and reseller network both domestically and internationally, and an increase in the number of customers purchasing our products through these expanded channels. Our future success will depend in part on our ability to attract, train, and motivate new distributors and resellers and expand our relationships with current distributors and resellers. We may not be successful in expanding our distributor and reseller relationships. We will be required to invest significant additional resources in order to expand these relationships, and the cost of this investment may exceed the margins generated from this investment. Conducting business through indirect sales channels presents a number of risks, including:
 
  •  difficulties in replacing any lost or terminated distributors or resellers;
 
  •  existing or new distributors and resellers may not be able to effectively sell our current or future products;
 
  •  potential distributors and resellers deciding not to enter into relationships with us because of our existing relationships with other distributors and resellers with which they compete;
 
  •  our ability to provide proper training and technical support to our distributors and resellers;
 
  •  distributors and resellers electing to place greater emphasis on products offered by our competitors; and
 
  •  the lack of direct control over the business practices, marketing, sales and services offered by distributors and resellers.
 
As we expand our distribution and reseller channels, we may also need to expand our sales organization and invest substantial resources toward this expansion. We may experience difficulty recruiting, training, and retaining qualified sales personnel, and any failure to obtain, train, and keep qualified personnel could limit our ability to sell products.
 
In addition, distributors and resellers of our products often have rights of return, and in the future, these returns from our existing or any new distributors and resellers may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Distributors and resellers are not obligated to purchase products from us and frequently offer products from several different companies, including competitors’ products, and distributors and resellers may give higher priority to the sale of our competitors’ products. A reduction in sales efforts or efficiency

by our distributors or resellers could lead to a reduction in our sales and could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
 
Adverse U.S. and international economic conditions have affected and may continue to adversely affect our revenues, margins and profitability.
 
The credit markets and economy in general continue to experience a period of unprecedented turmoil and upheaval characterized by the bankruptcy, failure, collapse or sale of various financial institutions and an unprecedented level of intervention from the United States federal government. These events, together with the current adverse economic conditions facing the broader economy and in particular, the electronics industry, have, and may continue to adversely affect our business as demand our products may decrease.
 
Increased reliance upon distributors and resellers for the sale of our products will subject us to additional risks, and the failure to adequately manage these risks could have a material adverse impact on our operating results.
 
The inability to accurately forecast the timing and volume of orders for sales of products to resellers and distributors during any given quarter could adversely affect operating results for such quarter and, potentially, for future periods. For example, if we underestimate sales, we will not be able to fill orders on a timely basis, which could cause customer dissatisfaction and loss of future business. Conversely, if we overestimate sales, we will experience increased costs from inventory storage, waste, and obsolescence.
 
The loss of one or more large reseller and distributor customers would materially harm our business. While we currently have a limited number of reseller and distributor agreements, none of these customers are obligated to purchase products from us. Consequently, any reseller or distributor could cease doing business with us at any time. Our dependence upon a few resellers and distributors could result in a significant concentration of credit risk, thus a substantial portion of our trade receivables outstanding from time to time may be concentrated among a limited number of customers. In addition, many of these customers also have or distribute competing products. If resellers and distributors elect to increase the marketing of competing products or reduce the marketing of our products, our ability to grow our business will be negatively impacted and will impair our revenue.
 
Additional risks associated with our reseller and distributor business include the following:
 
  •  the termination of reseller and distributor agreements or reduced or delayed orders;
 
  •  difficulty in predicting sales to reseller and distributors who do not have long-term commitments to purchase from us, which requires us to maintain sufficient inventory levels to satisfy anticipated demand;
 
  •  lack of visibility of end user customers and revenue recognition and channel inventory issues related to sales by resellers and distributors;
 
  •  resellers and distributors electing to resell, or increase their marketing of, competing products or technologies or reduced marketing of our products; and
 
  •  changes in corporate ownership, financial condition, business direction, or sales compensation related to our products, or product mix by the resellers and distributors.
 
Any of these risks could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
 
If we fail to continue to introduce new products and product enhancements that achieve broad market acceptance on a timely basis, we will not be able to compete effectively, and we will be unable to increase or maintain our revenue.
 
The market for our products is highly competitive and in general is characterized by rapid technological advances, changing customer needs and evolving industry standards. If we fail to continue to introduce new products and product enhancements that achieve broad market acceptance on a timely basis, we will not be able to


14


Table of Contents

compete effectively, and we will be unable to increase or maintain our revenue. Our future success will depend in large part upon our ability to:
 
  •  develop, in a timely manner, new products and services that keep pace with developments in technology and customer requirements;
 
  •  meet potentially new manufacturing requirements and cover potentially higher manufacturing costs of new products;
 
  •  deliver new products and services through appropriate distribution channels; and
 
  •  respond effectively to new product announcements by our competitors by quickly introducing competing products.
 
We may not be successful in developing and marketing, on a timely and cost-effective basis, either enhancements to existing products or new products that respond to technological advances and satisfy increasingly sophisticated customer needs. If we fail to introduce or sell innovative new products, our operating results may suffer. In addition, if new industry standards emerge that we do not anticipate or adapt to, our products could be rendered obsolete and our business could be materially harmed. Alternatively, any delay in the development of technology upon which our products are based could result in our inability to introduce new products as planned. The success and marketability of technology and products developed by others is beyond our control.
 
We have experienced delays in releasing new products in the past, which resulted in lower quarterly revenue than expected. Further, our efforts to develop new and similar products could be delayed due to unanticipated manufacturing requirements and costs. Delays in product development and introduction could result in:
 
  •  loss of or delay in revenue and loss of market share;
 
  •  negative publicity and damage to our reputation and brand;
 
  •  decline in the average selling price of our products and decline in our overall gross margins; and
 
  •  adverse reactions in our sales and distribution channels.
 
We may not be able to secure additional financing to meet our future capital needs.
 
We currently rely on cash flow from operations and cash on hand to fund our operating and capital needs. We may, in the future, expend significant capital to further develop our products, increase awareness of our brand names, expand our sales, operating and management infrastructure, and pursue opportunities to acquire businesses, products or technologies that complement or expand our current capabilities. We may also use capital more rapidly than currently anticipated. Additionally, we may incur higher operating expenses and generate lower revenue than currently expected, and we may be required to depend on external financing to satisfy our operating and capital needs. We may be unable to secure financing on terms acceptable to us, or at all, at the time when we need such funding. If we raise funds by issuing additional equity or convertible debt securities, the ownership percentages of existing stockholders would be reduced, and the securities that we issue may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of the holders of our common stock or may be issued at a discount to the market price of our common stock which would result in dilution to our existing stockholders. If we raise additional funds by issuing debt, we may be subject to debt covenants, such as the debt covenants under a secured credit facility, which could place limitations on our operations including our ability to declare and pay dividends. Our inability to raise additional funds on a timely basis would make it difficult for us to achieve our business objectives and would have a negative impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
 
Acquisitions could have negative consequences, which could harm our business.
 
We have acquired, and intend to continue to pursue opportunities to acquire businesses, products or technologies that complement or expand our current capabilities. For example, in 2006 we acquired substantially all of the assets of Think Outside, Inc., a developer and marketer of foldable keyboards and other accessories for mobile handheld devices and, in 2007, made the determination to no longer develop and market these keyboard


15


Table of Contents

products. Additional acquisitions could require significant capital infusions and could involve many risks including, but not limited to, the following:
 
  •  difficulty integrating the acquired company’s personnel, products, product roadmaps, technologies, systems, processes, and operations, including product delivery, order management, and information systems;
 
  •  difficulty in conforming the acquired company’s financial policies and practices to our policies and practices and in implementing and maintaining adequate internal systems and controls over the financial reporting and information systems of the acquired company;
 
  •  diversion of management’s attention and disruption of ongoing business;
 
  •  difficulty in combining product and technology offerings and entering into new markets or geographical areas in which we have no or limited direct experience and where our competitors may have stronger market positions;
 
  •  loss of management, sales, technical, or other key personnel;
 
  •  revenue from the acquired companies not meeting our expectations, and the potential loss of the acquired companies’ customers, distributors, resellers, suppliers, or other partners;
 
  •  delays or difficulties and the attendant expense in evaluating, coordinating, and combining administrative, manufacturing, sales, research and development and other operations, facilities, and relationships with third parties in accordance with local laws and other obligations while maintaining adequate standards, controls and procedures, including financial controls and controls over information systems;
 
  •  difficulty in completing projects associated with acquired in-process research and development;
 
  •  incurring amortization expense related to intangible assets and recording goodwill and non-amortizable assets that will be subject to impairment testing and possible impairment charges;
 
  •  dilution of existing stockholders as a result of issuing equity securities, including the assumption of any stock options or other equity awards issued by the acquired company;
 
  •  overpayment for any acquisition or investment or unanticipated costs or liabilities;
 
  •  assumption of liabilities of the acquired company, including any potential intellectual property infringement claims or other litigation; and
 
  •  incurring substantial write-offs, restructuring charges, and transactional expenses.
 
Our failure to manage these risks and challenges could materially harm our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Further, if we do not successfully address these challenges in a timely manner, we may not fully realize all of the anticipated benefits or synergies on which the value of a transaction was based. Future transactions could cause our financial results to differ from expectations of market analysts or investors for any given quarter, which could, in turn, cause a decline in our stock price.
 
If we fail to protect our intellectual property, our business and ability to compete could suffer.
 
Our success and ability to compete are dependent upon our internally developed technology and know-how. We rely primarily on a combination of patent protection, copyright and trademark laws, trade secrets, nondisclosure agreements and technical measures to protect our proprietary rights. While we have certain patents and patents pending, there can be no assurance that patents pending or future patent applications will be issued or that, if issued, those patents will not be challenged, invalidated or circumvented or that rights granted thereunder will provide meaningful protection or other commercial advantage to us. Moreover, there can be no assurance that any patent rights will be upheld in the future or that we will be able to preserve any of our other intellectual property rights.
 
We typically enter into confidentiality, non-compete or invention assignment agreements with our key employees, distributors, customers and potential customers, and limit access to, and distribution of, our product design documentation and other proprietary information. There can be no assurance that our confidentiality agreements, confidentiality procedures, noncompetition agreements or other factors will be adequate to deter

Table of Contents

misappropriation or independent third-party development of our technology or to prevent an unauthorized third party from obtaining or using information that we regard as proprietary. We have aggressively pursued the protection of our intellectual property rights, including our recently settled patent infringement lawsuit against American Power Conversion Corporation and our ongoing patent infringement lawsuit against Comarco, Inc. and Comarco Wireless Technologies, Inc. in the Eastern District of Texas. Litigation efforts such as these have been, and will in the future be, necessary to defend our intellectual property rights, both for our power and expansion technology, and will likely result in substantial cost to, and division of efforts by, us.
 
We may be subject to intellectual property infringement claims that are costly to defend and could limit our ability to use certain technologies in the future.
 
The laws of some foreign countries do not protect or enforce proprietary rights to the same extent as do the laws of the United States. In addition, under current law, certain patent applications filed with the United States Patent and Trademark Office before November 29, 2000 may be maintained in secrecy until a patent is issued. Patent applications filed with the United States Patent and Trademark Office on or after November 29, 2000, as well as patent applications filed in foreign countries, may be published some time after filing but prior to issuance. The right to a patent in the United States is attributable to the first to invent, not the first to file a patent application. We cannot be sure that our products or technologies do not infringe patents that may be granted in the future pursuant to pending patent applications or that our products do not infringe any patents or proprietary rights of third parties. In the event that any relevant claims of third-party patents are upheld as valid and enforceable, we could be prevented from selling our products or could be required to obtain licenses from the owners of such patents or be required to redesign our products to avoid infringement. There can be no assurance that such licenses would be available or, if available, would be on terms acceptable to us or that we would be successful in any attempts to redesign our products or processes to avoid infringement. Our failure to obtain these licenses or to redesign our products would have a material adverse effect on our business.
 
There can be no assurance that our competitors will not independently develop technology similar to our existing proprietary rights. We expect that our products will increasingly be subject to infringement claims as the number of products and competitors in our industry segment grows and the functionality of products in different industry segments overlaps. There can be no assurance that third parties will not assert infringement claims against us in the future or, if infringement claims are asserted, that such claims will be resolved in our favor. Any such claims, with or without merit, could be time-consuming, result in costly litigation, cause product shipment delays or require us to enter into royalty or licensing agreements. Such royalty or licensing agreements, if required, may not be available on terms favorable to us, if at all. In addition, litigation may be necessary in the future to protect our trade secrets or other intellectual property rights, or to determine the validity and scope of the proprietary rights of others. Such litigation could result in substantial costs and diversion of resources. For example at the beginning of 2008 we settled a patent infringement lawsuit with American Power Conversion Corporation. We incurred significant costs in this lawsuit and many of our executive officers and employees devoted substantial time and effort to this lawsuit.
 
If we are unable to hire additional qualified personnel as necessary or if we lose key personnel, we may not be able to successfully manage our business or achieve our objectives.
 
We believe our future success will depend in large part upon our ability to identify, attract and retain highly skilled executive, managerial, engineering, sales and marketing, finance and operations personnel. Competition for personnel in the technology industry is intense, and we compete for personnel against numerous companies, including larger, more established companies with significantly greater financial resources. There can be no assurance we will be successful in identifying, attracting and retaining personnel.
 
Our success also depends to a significant degree upon the continued contributions of our key executives, management, engineering, sales and marketing, finance and manufacturing personnel, many of whom would be difficult to replace. We do not maintain key person life insurance on any of our executive officers. The loss of the services of any of our key personnel, the inability to identify, attract or retain qualified personnel in the future or delays in hiring required personnel could make it difficult for us to manage our business and meet key objectives, such as timely product introductions.

We outsource the manufacturing and fulfillment of our products, which limits our control of the manufacturing process and may cause a delay in our ability to fill orders.
 
Most of our products are produced under contract manufacturing arrangements with several manufacturers in China, Taiwan and the United States. Our reliance on third party manufacturers exposes us to risks that are not in our control, which could negatively impact our results of operations. Any termination of or significant disruption in our relationship with our manufacturers may prevent us from filling customer orders in a timely manner, as we generally do not maintain large inventories of our products, and will negatively impact our revenue.
 
Our use of contract manufacturers reduces control over product quality and manufacturing yields and costs. We depend upon our contract manufacturers to deliver products that are free from defects, competitive in cost and in compliance with our specifications and delivery schedules. Moreover, although arrangements with such manufacturers may contain provisions for warranty obligations on the part of contract manufacturers, we remain primarily responsible to our customers for warranty obligations. Disruption in supply, a significant increase in the cost of the assembly of our products, failure of a contract manufacturer to remain competitive in price, the failure of a contract manufacturer to comply with any of our procurement needs or the financial failure or bankruptcy of a contract manufacturer could delay or interrupt our ability to manufacture or deliver our products to customers on a timely basis. In addition, regulatory agencies and legislatures in various countries, including the United States, have undertaken reviews of product safety, and various proposals for additional, more stringent laws and regulations are under consideration. Current or future laws or regulations may become effective in various jurisdictions in which we currently operate and may increase our costs and disrupt our business operations.
 
We have committed, for example, to manufacture various high-power adapter products with SPS, subject to our cost, delivery, quality and other requirements. In addition, SPS manufactures our products on a purchase order basis and does not dedicate manufacturing capacity to us. Any disruption in our relationship with SPS and/or the inability of SPS to meet our manufacturing needs for our high-power adapter products could harm our business. In order to replace SPS, we would have to identify and qualify an alternative supplier. This process could take an extended period of time to complete and could significantly impair our ability to fulfill customer orders. Similarly, we may encounter these same issues with respect to other products manufactured for us by Tandy RadioShack, Phihong and others.
 
We generally provide our third-party contract manufacturers with a rolling forecast of demand which they use to determine our material and component requirements. Lead times for ordering materials and components vary significantly and depend on various factors, such as the specific supplier, contract terms and supply and demand for a component at a given time. Some of our components have long lead times. For example, certain electronic components used in our high-power adapter products have lead times that range from six to ten weeks. If our forecasts are less than our actual requirements, our contract manufacturers may be unable to manufacture products in a timely manner. If our forecasts are too high, our contract manufacturers will be unable to use the components they have purchased on our behalf, which may require us to purchase the components from them before they are used in the manufacture of our products.
 
We rely on contract fulfillment providers to warehouse our iGo branded finished goods inventory and to ship our iGo branded products to our customers. We do not have long-term contracts with our fulfillment providers. Any termination of or significant disruption in our relationship with our fulfillment providers may prevent customer orders from being fulfilled in a timely manner, as it would require that we relocate our finished goods inventory to another warehouse facility and arrange for shipment of products to our customers.
 
Our reliance on sole sources for key components may inhibit our ability to meet customer demand.
 
The principal components of our products are purchased from outside vendors. Several of these vendors are our sole source of supply. We do not have long term supply agreements with the manufacturers of these components.
 
We depend upon our suppliers to deliver components that are free from defects, competitive in functionality and cost and in compliance with our specifications and delivery schedules. Disruption in supply, a significant increase in the cost of one or more components, failure of a supplier to remain competitive in functionality or price,

the failure of a supplier to comply with any of our procurement needs or the financial failure or bankruptcy of a supplier could delay or interrupt our ability to manufacture or deliver our products to customers on a timely basis.
 
Any termination of or significant disruption in our relationship with our suppliers may prevent us from filling customer orders in a timely manner as we generally do not maintain large inventories of components or products. In the event that a termination or disruption were to occur, we would have to find and qualify an alternative source. The time it would take to complete this process would vary based upon the size of the supplier base and the complexity of the component or product. Delays could range from as little as a few days to several months, and, in some cases, a suitable alternative may not be available at all.
 
We may not be able to adequately manage our anticipated growth, which could impair our efficiency and negatively impact operations.
 
Our success depends on our ability to manage growth effectively. If we do not effectively manage this growth, we may not be able to operate efficiently or maintain the quality of our products. Either outcome could materially and adversely affect our operating results. As we continue to develop new products and bring them to market, we will be required to manage multiple projects, including the design and development of products and their transition to high volume manufacturing. This will place a significant strain on our operational, financial and managerial resources and personnel, our management information systems, and our operational and financial controls. To effectively manage our growth we must:
 
  •  effectively utilize our research and development resources;
 
  •  install and implement adequate controls and management information systems in an effective, efficient and timely manner;
 
  •  increase the managerial skills of our supervisors;
 
  •  maintain and strengthen our relationships with our contract manufacturers and fulfillment providers; and
 
  •  more effectively manage our supply chain.
 
Our inventory management is complex and failure to properly manage inventory growth may result in excess or obsolete inventory, the write-down of which may negatively affect our operating results.
 
Our inventory management is complex as we are required to balance the need to maintain strategic inventory levels to ensure competitive lead times against the risk of inventory overstock and obsolescence because of rapidly changing technology and customer requirements. In addition, the need to carefully manage our inventory is likely to increase as we expect to acquire additional customers who will likely require us to maintain certain minimum levels of inventory on their behalf, as well as provide them with inventory return privileges. Our customers may also increase orders during periods of product shortages, cancel orders if their inventory is too high, or delay orders in anticipation of new products. They may adjust their orders in response to the supply of our products and the products of our competitors that are available to them and in response to seasonal fluctuations in end-user demand. If we ultimately determine that we have excess or obsolete inventory, we may have to reduce our prices and write-down inventory, which in turn could result in reduced operating results.
 
We have experienced returns of our products, which could in the future harm our reputation and negatively impact our operating results.
 
In the past, some of our customers have returned products to us because the product did not meet their expectations, specifications or requirements. These returns were 1% of revenue for each of the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007. It is likely that we will experience some level of returns in the future and, as our business grows, this level may be more difficult to estimate. A portion of our sales to distributors is generally under terms that provide for certain stock balancing privileges. Under the stock balancing programs, some distributors are permitted 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 have not historically experienced significant stock balance returns.

Table of Contents

Also, returns may adversely affect our relationship with those customers and may harm our reputation. This could cause us to lose potential customers and business in the future. We record a reserve for future returns at the time revenue is recognized. We believe the reserve is adequate given our historical level of returns. If returns increase, however, our reserve may not be sufficient and operating results could be negatively affected.
 
We may have design quality and performance issues with our products that may adversely affect our reputation and our operating results.
 
A number of our products are based on new technology and the designs are complex. As such, they may contain undetected errors or performance problems, particularly during new or enhanced product launches. Despite product testing prior to introduction, our products have in the past, on occasion, contained errors that were discovered after commercial introduction. Any future defects discovered after shipment of our products could result in loss of sales, delays in market acceptance or product returns and warranty costs. We attempt to make adequate allowance in our new product release schedule for testing of product performance. Because of the complexity of our products, however, our release of new products may be postponed should test results indicate the need for redesign and retesting, or should we elect to add product enhancements in response to customer feedback. In addition, third-party products, upon which our products are dependent, may contain defects which could reduce or undermine the performance of our products and adversely affect our operating results.
 
We may incur product liability claims which could be costly and could harm our reputation.
 
The sale of our products involves risk of product liability claims against us. We currently maintain product liability insurance, but our product liability insurance coverage is subject to various coverage exclusions and limits and may not be obtainable in the future on terms acceptable to us, or at all. We do not know whether claims against us with respect to our products, if any, would be successfully defended or whether our insurance would be sufficient to cover liabilities resulting from such claims. Any claims successfully brought against us could harm our business.
 
Risks Related To Our Industry
 
Economic conditions, political events, war, terrorism, public health issues, natural disasters and other circumstances could have a material adverse affect on our operations and performance.
 
Our operations and performance, including collection of our accounts receivable, depend significantly on worldwide economic conditions and their impact on levels of consumer spending, which have recently deteriorated significantly in many countries and regions, including the United States, and may remain depressed for the foreseeable future. Some of the factors that could influence the levels of consumer spending include volatility in fuel and other energy costs, conditions in the residential real estate and mortgage markets, labor and healthcare costs, increased unemployment (particularly with office workers), access to credit, consumer confidence and other macroeconomic factors affecting consumer spending behavior. These and other economic factors have had, and could continue to have, a material adverse effect on demand for our products and services and on our financial condition and operating results.
 
In addition, war, terrorism, geopolitical uncertainties, public health issues, and other business interruptions have caused and could cause damage or disruption to international commerce and the global economy, and thus could have a strong negative effect on us and our suppliers, logistics providers, manufacturing vendors and customers. Our business operations are subject to interruption by natural disasters, fire, power shortages, terrorist attacks, and other hostile acts, labor disputes, public health issues, and other events beyond our control. Such events could decrease demand for our products, make it difficult or impossible for us to make and deliver products to our customers or to receive components from our suppliers, and create delays and inefficiencies in our supply chain. Should major public health issues, including pandemics, arise, we could be negatively affected by more stringent employee travel restrictions, additional limitations in freight services, governmental actions limiting the movement of products between regions, delays in production ramps of new products, and disruptions in the operations of our manufacturing vendors and component suppliers.

Intense competition in the market for mobile electronic devices could adversely affect our revenue and operating results.
 
The market for mobile electronic devices in general is intensely competitive, subject to rapid changes and sensitive to new product introductions or enhancements and marketing efforts by industry participants. We expect to experience significant and increasing levels of competition in the future. There can be no assurance that we can maintain our competitive position against current or potential competitors, especially those with greater financial, marketing, service, support, technical or other competitive resources. In 2003, we settled a patent infringement suit with Comarco, one of our competitors in power products, that resulted in a cross license, which does not include the right to sub-license, relating to our respective power product technology. As a result, Comarco may be positioned to develop and market power products that are substantially similar to our products.
 
We currently compete with the internal design efforts of various OEMs. These OEMs have larger technical staffs, more established and larger marketing and sales organizations and significantly greater financial resources than we do. Such competitors may respond more quickly than we do to new or emerging technologies and changes in customer requirements, may devote greater resources to the development, sale and promotion of their products better than we do or may develop products that are superior to our products or that achieve greater market acceptance.
 
Our future success will depend, in part, upon our ability to increase sales in our targeted markets. There can be no assurance that we will be able to compete successfully with our competitors or that the competitive pressures we face will not have a material adverse effect on our business. Our future success will depend in large part upon our ability to increase our share of our target market and to sell additional products and product enhancements to existing customers. Future competition may result in price reductions, reduced margins or decreased sales.
 
Should the market demand for mobile electronic devices decrease, we may not achieve anticipated revenue.
 
The demand for the majority of our products and technology is primarily driven by the underlying market demand for mobile electronic devices. Should the growth in demand for mobile electronic devices be inhibited, we may not be able to increase or sustain revenue. Industry growth depends in part on the following factors:
 
  •  general micro and macro economic conditions and decreases in demand for mobile electronic devices resulting from recessionary conditions;
 
  •  increased demand by consumers and businesses for mobile electronic devices; and
 
  •  the number and quality of mobile electronic devices in the market.
 
The market for our products and services depends on economic conditions affecting the broader information technology market. Prolonged weakness in this market is causing customers to reduce their overall information technology budgets or reduce or cancel orders for our products. In this environment, our customers may experience financial difficulty, cease operations and fail to budget or reduce budgets for the purchase of our products and services. This, in turn, may lead to longer sales cycles, delays in purchase decisions, payment and collection, and may also result in downward price pressures, causing us to realize lower revenue and operating margins. In addition, general economic uncertainty and the recent general decline in capital spending in the information technology sector make it difficult to predict changes in the purchasing requirements of our customers and the markets we serve. We believe that, in light of these events, some businesses have and may continue to curtail or suspend capital spending on information technology. These factors may cause our revenue and operating margins to decline.
 
If our products fail to comply with domestic and international government regulations, or if these regulations result in a barrier to our business, our revenue could be negatively impacted.
 
Our products must comply with various domestic and international laws, regulations and standards. For example, the shipment of our products from the countries in which they are manufactured to other international or domestic locations requires us to obtain export licenses and to comply with possible import restrictions of the countries in which we sell our products. In the event that we are unable or unwilling to comply with any such laws,


21


Table of Contents

regulations or standards, we may decide not to conduct business in certain markets. Particularly in international markets, we may experience difficulty in securing required licenses or permits on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. In addition, we are generally required to obtain both domestic and foreign regulatory and safety approvals and certifications for our products. Failure to comply with existing or evolving laws or regulations, including export and import restrictions and barriers, or to obtain timely domestic or foreign regulatory approvals or certificates could negatively impact our revenue.
 
Risks Related To Our Common Stock
 
Our common stock price has been volatile, which could result in substantial losses for stockholders.
 
Our common stock is currently traded on The NASDAQ Global Market. We have in the past experienced, and may in the future experience, limited daily trading volume. The trading price of our common stock has been and may continue to be volatile. The market for technology companies, in particular, has at various times experienced extreme volatility that often has been unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. These broad market and industry fluctuations may significantly affect the trading price of our common stock, regardless of our actual operating performance. The trading price of our common stock could be affected by a number of factors, including, but not limited to, changes in expectations of our future performance, changes in estimates by securities analysts (or failure to meet such estimates), quarterly fluctuations in our sales and financial results and a variety of risk factors, including the ones described elsewhere in this report. Periods of volatility in the market price of a company’s securities sometimes result in securities class action litigation, which regardless of the merit of the claims, can be time-consuming, costly and divert management’s attention. In addition, if we needed to raise equity funds under adverse conditions, it would be difficult to sell a significant amount of our stock without causing a significant decline in the trading price of our stock.
 
Our common stock could be delisted from The NASDAQ Global Market if the closing bid price for our common stock continues to trade below $1.00 per share.
 
NASDAQ imposes certain standards that a company must satisfy in order to maintain the listing of its securities on The NASDAQ Global Market. Among other things, these standards require that a company’s shares have a minimum closing bid price at or above $1.00. However, NASDAQ has suspended its enforcement of this requirement and has announced that it will not take any action to delist any security traded on The NASDAQ Global Market that fails to comply with the minimum $1.00 closing bid price requirement between October 16, 2008 and April 20, 2009. Accordingly, for as long as NASDAQ’s rule suspension remains in effect, NASDAQ will not delist our common stock if its closing bid price remains below $1.00 per share during the rule suspension period.
 
If the closing bid price of our common stock continues to fail to meet NASDAQ’s minimum closing bid price requirement at any time on or after April 20, 2009, or such later date to which NASDAQ may extend its suspension of this requirement, or if we otherwise fail to meet all other applicable requirements of The NASDAQ Global Market, NASDAQ may make a determination to delist our common stock. Any such delisting could adversely affect the market liquidity of our common stock and the market price of our common stock could decrease and could also adversely affect our ability to obtain financing for the continuation of our operations and/or result in the loss of confidence by investors, customers, suppliers and employees.
 
Our stock price may decline if additional shares are sold in the market.
 
As of March 11, 2009, we had 32,108,737 shares of common stock outstanding. All of our outstanding shares are currently available for sale in the public market, some of which are subject to volume and other limitations under the securities laws. Future sales of substantial amounts of shares of our common stock by our existing stockholders in the public market, or the perception that these sales could occur, may cause the market price of our common stock to decline. We may be required to issue additional shares upon exercise of previously granted options and warrants that are currently outstanding.
 
As of March 11, 2009, we had (i) 278,224 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of stock options under our long-term incentive plans, of which 278,224 options were exercisable as of January 1, 2009; (ii) 2,136,278 shares of common stock issuable upon the vesting of restricted stock units under our long term


22


Table of Contents

incentive plan and other outstanding awards; and (iii) 561,553 shares were available for future issuance under our existing plans. We also had warrants outstanding to purchase 600,235 shares of common stock. Increased sales of our common stock in the market after exercise of currently outstanding options could exert significant downward pressure on our stock price. These sales also might make it more difficult for us to sell equity or equity-related securities in the future at a time and price we deem appropriate.
 
Our executive officers, directors and principal stockholders have substantial influence over us.
 
As of January 1, 2009, our executive officers, directors and principal stockholders owning greater than 5% of our outstanding common stock together beneficially owned approximately 27% of the outstanding shares of common stock. As a result, these stockholders, acting together, may be able to exercise substantial influence over all matters requiring approval by our stockholders, including the election of directors and approval of significant corporate transactions. The concentration of ownership may also have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in our control that may be viewed as beneficial by the other stockholders.
 
In addition, our certificate of incorporation does not provide for cumulative voting with respect to the election of directors. Consequently, our present directors, executive officers, principal stockholders and our respective affiliates may be able to control the election of the members of the board of directors. Such a concentration of ownership could have an adverse effect on the price of the common stock, and may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control, including transactions in which stockholders might otherwise receive a premium for their shares over then current market prices.
 
Provisions of our certificate of incorporation and bylaws could make a proposed acquisition that is not approved by our board of directors more difficult.
 
Some provisions of our certificate of incorporation and bylaws could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire us even if a change of control would be beneficial to our stockholders. These provisions include:
 
  •  authorizing the issuance of preferred stock, with rights senior to those of the common stockholders, without common stockholder approval;
 
  •  prohibiting cumulative voting in the election of directors;
 
  •  a staggered board of directors, so that no more than two of our four directors are elected each year; and
 
  •  limiting the persons who may call special meetings of stockholders.
 
Our stockholder rights plan may make it more difficult for others to obtain control over us, even if it would be beneficial to our stockholders.
 
In June 2003, our board of directors adopted a stockholders rights plan. Pursuant to its terms, we have distributed a dividend of one right for each outstanding share of common stock. These rights cause substantial dilution to the ownership of a person or group that attempts to acquire us on terms not approved by our board of directors and may have the effect of deterring hostile takeover attempts. These provisions could discourage a future takeover attempt which individual stockholders might deem to be in their best interests or in which shareholders would receive a premium for their shares over current prices.
 
Delaware law may delay or prevent a change in control.
 
We are subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. These provisions prohibit large stockholders, in particular a stockholder owning 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock, from consummating a merger or combination with a corporation, unless this stockholder receives board approval for the transaction, or 662/3% of the shares of voting stock not owned by the stockholder approve the merger or transaction. These provisions could discourage a future takeover attempt which individual stockholders might deem to be in their best interests or in which shareholders would receive a premium for their shares over current prices.

Item 2.   Properties
 
Our corporate offices are located in Scottsdale, Arizona. This facility consists of approximately 21,000 square feet of leased space pursuant to a lease for which the current term expires on February 28, 2014. We also lease offices in Taipei, Taiwan and Dong Guan, China. Each of these offices supports our selling, research and development, and general administrative activities. Our warehouse and product fulfillment operations are conducted at various third-party locations throughout the world. We believe our facilities are suitable and adequate for our current business activities for the remainder of the lease terms. Mission Technology Group leases a facility in San Diego, California.
 
Item 3.   Legal Proceedings
 
On June 8, 2007, we filed a complaint for patent infringement against Comarco, Inc. and Comarco Wireless Technologies, Inc. (“Comarco”) in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, Case No. 5:07cv84. On July 1, 2008, the court in Texas accepted a joint motion filed by the parties to transfer this case to the United States District Court for the District of Arizona. As a result, this case is now before the United States District Court for the District of Arizona, Case No. CV 08-1224 and the parties are engaged in the discovery process. We assert in the complaint that Comarco’s line of universal power adapters for mobile electronic devices infringe upon our patented intelligent tip architecture, U.S. Patent Nos. 6,976,885 and 7,153,169. We seek to enjoin Comarco from further infringement of the patents as well as compensatory and treble damages and reimbursement of attorneys’ fees and expenses associated with this action. Comarco has filed an answer denying our claims and asserting counterclaims against us for breach of contract under a settlement agreement executed between the parties in July 2003 and infringement of Comarco’s U.S. Patent No. 6,172,884. Comarco, in its answer and counterclaim is seeking a declaration that it has not infringed our patents, a declaration that such patents are invalid and unenforceable, a declaration that we have breached the terms of the parties’ settlement agreement, and injunctive relief against us from further infringement of Comarco’s patent, as well as compensatory and treble damages and reimbursement of attorneys’ fees and expenses associated with 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 do not believe that the outcome of such pending legal proceedings will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

Item 7.   Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
 
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read together with our selected consolidated financial data and the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in this report. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements. Our actual results may differ significantly from the results discussed in these forward-looking statements. Please see the “Disclosure Concerning Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors” above for a discussion of factors that may affect our future results.
 
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 opportunities 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 higher utilization of their mobile devices and the ability to access information more readily. Our products include power products for high-power mobile electronic devices, such as portable computers; power products for low-power mobile electronic devices, such as mobile phones, PDAs, and MP3 players; and accessory products. We are organized in three business segments, which consist of the High-Power Group, the Low-Power Group and the Connectivity Group. In February 2007, we sold substantially all of the assets, which consisted primarily of inventory, of our handheld hardware product line. The operating results of the handheld hardware product line were historically included in the results of the Connectivity Group. In April 2007, we sold substantially all of the remaining assets of our Connectivity Group. The operating results of Mission Technology Group, which purchased substantially all of the assets of our expansion and docking product line, are consolidated with our operating results pursuant to FIN 46R and are included in the Connectivity Group.
 
Sales to private-label resellers and OEMs accounted for approximately 45% of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2008 and approximately 52% of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2007. Sales through retailers and distributors accounted for approximately 45% of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2008 and approximately 37% of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2007. 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 and Targus. Our strategy is to develop relationships with a broader set of retailers and wireless carriers to expand the market availability of our iGo branded products. We expect that these relationships will allow us to diversify our customer base, add stability and decrease our traditional reliance upon a limited number of private label resellers. We also expect that these relationships will significantly increase the availability and recognition of our products, particularly among large national and international retailers and wireless carriers.
 
Our continued focus is on proliferating power products that incorporate our tip technology for both high- and low-power mobile electronic devices and on developing complementary products. Our long-term goal is to establish an industry standard for all mobile electronic device power products based on our patented tip technology.
 
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 power product, our ability to protect our proprietary rights to this technology and on general economic conditions. 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.
 
High-Power Group.  Our High-Power Group is focused on the development, marketing and sale of power products and accessories for mobile electronic devices with high power requirements, which consist primarily of portable computers. These devices also allow users to simultaneously charge one or more low-power mobile


28


Table of Contents

electronic devices with our optional iGo dualpower and power splitter accessories. We sell these products to private-label resellers, distributors, resellers and retailers. We supplied OEM — specific, high-power adapter products to Dell through the first quarter of 2007 and we supplied Lenovo through the first quarter of 2008. We have entered into a strategic reseller agreement with Targus to market and distribute high-power adapter products on a private-label basis. We also sell our iGo branded products directly to retailers such as RadioShack and through distributors such as Ingram Micro. High-Power Group revenue accounted for approximately 60% of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2008 and approximately 62% of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2007.
 
Low-Power Group.  In April 2005, we formed the Low-Power Group, which is focused on the development, marketing and sales of power products for low-power mobile electronic devices, such as mobile phones, smartphones, PDAs, MP3 players and portable gaming consoles. These products include cigarette lighter adapters, mobile AC adapters, low-power universal AC/DC adapters, and low-power universal battery products. Each of these power devices is designed to incorporate our patented tip technology. The combination AC/DC adapter also allows users to simultaneously charge a second device with our optional iGo dualpower or iGo power splitter accessories. We sell these products to distributors, resellers and retailers. Low-power product revenue accounted for approximately 31% of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2008 and 29% of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2007.
 
During 2007, the market for foldable keyboards decreased significantly and we made the decision to discontinue the production and marketing of foldable keyboard products and we intend to sell the remaining inventory of these products in the ordinary course of business. Accordingly, revenue from this product line has decreased significantly in 2008. We account for our foldable keyboard business as part of our Low-Power Group. Sales of these foldable keyboard products represented approximately 1% of our total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2008 and 4% of our total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2007.
 
Connectivity Group.  Our Connectivity Group consists primarily of the operating results of Mission Technology Group. The Connectivity Group was historically focused on the development, marketing and sales of connectivity and expansion and docking 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 which resulted in a gain on the sale of these assets of $11.6 million.
 
Recent Developments
 
In February 2009, we reduced our total headcount by approximately 20%. As part of the workforce reduction, Joan Brubacher departed the Company and Darryl Baker, formerly our Vice President, Controller and Chief Accounting Officer was appointed to Vice President, Chief Financial Officer, and Treasurer.
 
In the fourth quarter of 2008, we sold a portfolio of 23 patents and patents pending related to our foldable keyboard product line. In late 2007, we discontinued the production and marketing of these products and we expect revenue from this product line to continue to decrease in 2009.
 
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, sales returns, 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


29


Table of Contents

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 generally 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 “retail and distribution channel,” is affected by agreements giving certain customers rights to return up to 15% of their prior quarter’s purchases, provided that they place a new order for an 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 related to these agreements, 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. We also have agreements with certain customers that provide them with full right of return prior to the ultimate sale to an end user of the product. Accordingly, we have recorded deferred revenue of $412,000 and $936,000 as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, which we will recognize as revenue when the product is sold to the end user. Gross sales to the retail and distribution channel accounted for approximately 45% of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2008 and 37% of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2007.
 
For our products, a historical correlation exists between the amount of retail and 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 retail and 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 could have had a material impact on our reported sales and thus could 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 lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market. Inventories include material, labor and overhead costs. Labor and 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 a downward adjustment of $4.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2007. During 2008, we recorded additional profit due to better than planned sales of excess inventory that had previously been adjusted to zero value. If actual market conditions are less favorable than those projected by management, additional inventory write-downs may be required.
 
Deferred Tax Valuation Allowance.  We record a valuation allowance to reduce our deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. In determining the amount of the valuation allowance, we consider estimated future taxable income as well as feasible tax planning strategies in each taxing jurisdiction in which we operate. Historically, we have recorded a deferred tax valuation allowance in an amount equal to our net


30


Table of Contents

deferred tax assets. If we determine that we will ultimately be able to utilize all or a portion of deferred tax assets for which a valuation allowance has been provided, the related portion of the valuation allowance will be released to income as a credit to income tax expense.
 
Long-Lived Asset Valuation.  Under Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets (“SFAS 144”), we test our recorded long-lived assets whenever events indicate the recorded intangible assets may be impaired. Our long-lived asset impairment approach is based on an undiscounted cash flows approach using assumptions noted above. We determined that intangible assets related to our foldable keyboard product line, which is included in the Low-Power Group segment, with a net value of $573,000, were impaired as of December 31, 2007. We also determined that property and equipment related to our foldable keyboard product line, with a net value of $563,000, was impaired as of December 31, 2007. We determined no long-lived assets were impaired as of December 31, 2008. If we fail to achieve our assumed growth rates or assumed gross margin, we may incur additional charges for impairment in the future. For these reasons, we believe that the accounting estimates related to long-lived assets are critical accounting estimates.
 
Variable Interest Entities.  Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 46R, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” (“FIN 46R”) requires the “primary beneficiary” of a variable interest entity (“VIE”) to include the VIE’s assets, liabilities and operating results in its consolidated financial statements. In general, a VIE is a corporation, partnership, limited-liability corporation, trust or any other legal structure used to conduct activities or hold assets that either (i) has an insufficient amount of equity to carry out its principal activities without additional subordinated financial support, (ii) has a group of equity owners that are unable to make significant decisions about its activities, or (iii) has a group of equity owners that do not have the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive returns generated by its operations.
 
In April 2007, we completed a sale of the assets of our expansion and docking business to Mission Technology Group, an entity that was formed by a former officer of the Company, in exchange for $3.9 million of notes receivable and a 15% common equity interest. There was no cash equity contributed to Mission Technology Group at its formation and Mission Technology Group’s equity consists solely of its operating profit. Accordingly, we have determined that Mission Technology Group does not have sufficient equity to carry out its principal operating activities without subordinated financial support, and that Mission Technology Group qualifies as a VIE under FIN 46R. We have also determined that our 15% equity interest and our $3.9 million notes receivable qualify as variable interests under FIN 46R. Furthermore, as Mission Technology Group is obligated to repay the promissory notes it issued to us, we have determined that we are the primary beneficiary of the VIE, and accordingly, must include the assets, liabilities and operating results of Mission Technology Group in our consolidated financial statements. We consider the consolidation of variable interest entities to be a critical accounting policy.

The 2008 decrease in High-Power Group revenue was primarily due to the decrease in the sale of high power products to OEM accounts. Sales to OEMs decreased by $10.0 million, or 87.9%, to $1.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2008 compared to $11.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 due to the loss of business from Dell and Lenovo. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in revenue from sales to Targus by $5.1 million, or 18.9%, to $32.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2008 compared to $27.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2007. Likewise, revenue from sales to RadioShack increased by $3.3 million, or 63.1%, to $8.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2008 compared to $5.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2007. We believe consumer demand for mobile electronic accessories will decrease in the near term as a result of the current economic environment, and thus we expect High-Power Group revenue to slightly decline in 2009 compared to 2008.
 
The 2007 decrease in High-Power revenue was primarily due to the loss of revenue from sales to Dell. Revenue from sales to Dell decreased by $12.9 million, 81.5% to $2.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 compared to $15.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. The decrease in revenue was partially offset by an increase in revenue from sales to Lenovo of $1.0 million, or 12.5%, to $8.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 compared to $7.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. Likewise, the company recorded an increase in revenue from sales to Targus of $3.6 million, or 15.3%, to $27.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 compared to $23.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2006.
 
Low-Power Group.  Low-Power Group revenue is derived from the sales of low-power adapter products and foldable keyboard products. The following table summarizes the year-over-year comparison of our Low-Power Group revenue for the periods indicated ($ in thousands):
 
                         
          Increase
    Percentage Change
 
Year
  Annual Amount     from Prior Year     from Prior Year  
 
2008
  $ 23,747     $ 1,334       6.0 %
2007
    22,413       5,338       31.3 %
2006
    17,075              
 
The 2008 increase in Low-Power Group revenue was primarily due to revenue from sales of low-power product sales to RadioShack, which increased by $1.6 million, or 10.4% to $17.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2008 compared to $15.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2007. Revenue from sales of low-power products to wireless carrier distribution increased by $1.5 million, or 94.4%, to $3.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2008 as compared to $1.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2007. Revenue from sales of low-power products in the airport channel increased by $744,000, or 107.9% to $1.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2008 compared to $689,000 for the year ended December 31, 2007. These increases were offset by a decrease in revenue from the sales of foldable keyboards of $2.6 million, or 83.8%, to $504,000 for the year ended December 31, 2008 as compared to $3.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 due to the company discontinuing this line of products during 2008. We expect Low-Power Group revenue from sales into existing sales channels to be negatively impacted in 2009 by a reduction in consumer demand for mobile electronic accessories resulting from the current economic environment. Nevertheless, we expect Low-Power Group revenue to slightly increase in 2009 as a result of anticipated further gains in market penetration into mobile wireless carriers, distributors and retailers largely through our own sales efforts.
 
The 2007 increase in Low-Power Group revenue was primarily due to continued sales growth of our family of low-power products as a result of what we believe to be increased consumer awareness and further market penetration of our products and technology. The increase was primarily attributable to revenue from sales of low-power product sales to RadioShack, which increased by $3.7 million, or 32.1% to $15.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 compared to $11.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. Revenue from sales of low-power products to other customers increased by approximately $632,000 for the year ended December 31, 2007 compared to the year ended December 31, 2006. Revenue from sales of foldable keyboard products, a product line that was acquired in May 2006, increased by approximately $1.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 compared to the year ended December 31, 2006.
 
Connectivity Group.  Connectivity Group revenue was derived from sales of expansion and docking products and handheld products. In the first quarter of 2007, we divested the handheld hardware product line. In the second


33


Table of Contents

quarter of 2007, we sold the assets of the expansion and docking product line to Mission Technology Group. We consolidate the operating results of Mission Technology Group in accordance with FIN 46R and those results are included in the Connectivity Group. See “- Acquisitions and Dispositions” for more information. The following table summarizes the year-over-year comparison of our Connectivity Group revenue for the periods indicated ($ in thousands):
 
                         
          Increase/(Decrease)
    Percentage Change
 
Year
  Annual Amount     from Prior Year     from Prior Year  
 
2008
  $ 7,243     $ 11       0.2 %
2007
  $ 7,232     $ (11,011 )     (60.4 )%
2006
    18,243              
 
Connectivity revenue for the year ended December 31, 2008 was consistent with revenue for the year ended December 31, 2007. We expect to continue to consolidate the operating results of Mission Technology Group into the Connectivity Group until such time as we are no longer considered the primary beneficiary of this variable interest entity. Furthermore, we anticipate 2009 Connectivity Group revenue will be consistent with 2008 revenue.
 
The 2007 decrease in Connectivity Group revenue was due primarily to the divestiture of handheld hardware product line in the first quarter of 2007. As a result of this divestiture, revenue from sales of handheld hardware products declined by $12.4 million, or 99.7%, to $44,000 for the year ended December 31, 2007 compared to $12.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. This decline was partially offset by revenue from sales of expansion and docking products, which increased by $1.3 million, or 23.0% to $7.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 compared to $5.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2006.
 
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 tables summarize the year-over-year comparison of our cost of revenue, gross profit and gross margin for the periods indicated ($ in thousands):

2006

The 2008 decrease in cost of revenue and the corresponding increase in gross margin was due primarily to a charge to excess and obsolete inventory expense of $4.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2007. The positive impact of the reduced excess and obsolete inventory expense was partially offset by a decline in average direct margin, which excludes labor and overhead costs, on high-power products to 28.4% for the year ended December 31, 2008 compared to 35.1% for the year ended December 31, 2007, primarily as a result of the reduced direct margin on sales to Targus during 2008. As a result of these factors, cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue decreased to 70.7% for the year ended December 31, 2008 from 75.2% for the year ended December 31, 2007, resulting in increased gross margin.

The 2007 decrease in cost of revenue was due primarily to the 15.9% volume decrease in revenue as compared to the year ended December 31, 2006. During the year ended December 31, 2007, we recorded an adjustment to cost of revenue in the amount of $4.0 million, compared to an adjustment of $5.6 million during the year ended December 31, 2006, as a result of reduced marketability of certain of our inventory. As a result of these factors, cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue increased slightly to 75.2% for the year ended December 31, 2007 from 75.0% for the year ended December 31, 2006, resulting in a corresponding decrease to gross margin.
 
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 ($ in thousands):

The 2008 decrease in sales and marketing expenses primarily resulted from reduced investment in nationwide newspaper and radio advertising campaigns in the United States. Specifically, advertising expense decreased by $798,000, or 85.6%, to $135,000 for the year ended December 31, 2008 compared to $932,000 for the year ended December 31, 2007. As a percentage of revenue, sales and marketing expenses decreased to 11.8% for the year ended December 31, 2008 from 12.6% for the year ended December 31, 2007.
 
The 2007 decrease in sales and marketing expenses primarily resulted from reduced investment in nationwide newspaper and radio advertising campaigns in the United States. Specifically, advertising expense decreased by $1.0 million, or 51.6%, to $932,000 for the year ended December 31, 2007 compared to $1.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. Also, the Company reduced sales and marketing expense during 2007 as a result of the divestiture of its handheld hardware product line. As a percentage of revenue, sales and marketing expenses increased to 12.6% for the year ended December 31, 2007 from 12.3% for the year ended December 31, 2006.
 
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 decrease in research and development expenses primarily resulted from reduced personnel expenses directly relating to the impact of an organizational restructuring that occurred in July 2007. As a result of the July 2007 action, employee related expenses decreased by $1.1 million, or 32.8%, to $2.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2008 as compared to $3.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2007. Engineering-related consulting and development fees also decreased by $474,000, or 40.9%, to $684,000 for the year ended December 31, 2008 as compared to $1.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2007. As a percentage of revenue, research and development expenses decreased to 4.6% for the year ended December 31, 2008 from 6.7% for the year ended December 31, 2007.
 
The 2007 decrease in research and development expenses primarily resulted from reduced investment in development of handheld hardware and docking and expansion products in connection with our disposition of those product lines as well as reduced investment in development of our foldable keyboard product line. Specifically, during the year ended December 31, 2007, we reduced our engineering staff from 56 employees at December 31, 2006 to 13 employees at December 31, 2007. As a percentage of revenue, research and development expenses decreased to 6.7% for the year ended December 31, 2007 from 8.4% for the year ended December 31, 2006.

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, legal and other 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 ($ in thousands):

The decrease in general and administrative expenses primarily resulted from decreases to personnel related expenses, outside professional fees and non-cash equity compensation expense. Specifically, personnel related expenses decreased $1.0 million, or 23.7%, to $3.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2008, from $4.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2007. Included in this decrease is $614,000 in separation expense incurred in connection with the retirement of our former chief executive officer in 2007. Outside professional fees, including legal and accounting, decreased $1.0 million, or 28.1%, to $2.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2008, from $3.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2007. Non-cash equity compensation decreased by $563,000 to $2.1 million, or 21.4%, for the year ended December 31, 2008 from $2.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2007, due primarily to the organizational restructuring that occurred in July 2007 and the resignation of a board member that occurred in May 2008. General and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue decreased to 15.4% for the year ended December 31, 2008 from 19.1% for the year ended December 31, 2007.
 
The 2007 increase in general and administrative expenses primarily resulted from $1.3 million in separation and non-cash equity compensation charges in connection with the retirement of our former Chief Executive Officer, and a $394,000 charge related to a reduction in workforce. These increases were offset, in part, by decreases in outside legal expenses of approximately $500,000. General and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue increased to 19.1% for the year ended December 31, 2007 from 14.9% for the year ended December 31, 2006.
 
Asset impairment.  Asset impairment expense consists of expenses associated with impairment write-downs of goodwill, amortizable intangible assets, and property and equipment.
 
At December 31, 2007, we determined that $3.7 million of goodwill associated with the High-Power Group and $237,000 of goodwill associated with the Low-Power Group was fully impaired. Accordingly, we recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $3.9 million during the year ended December 31, 2007. Also, during the fourth quarter of 2007, as a result of our decision to discontinue production and marketing of foldable keyboard products, we determined a triggering event had occurred resulting in an asset impairment charge of $1.1 million related to amortizable intangible assets and property and equipment associated with our Low-Power Group. As a result of these factors, we recorded total asset impairment charges of $5.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2007.
 
During the year ended December 31, 2006, as a result of a significant downturn in handheld hardware product sales, we determined a triggering event had occurred, specifically as a result of a significant downturn in business with Symbol for sales of handheld cradle products during the third quarter of 2006, that resulted in an asset impairment charge of $8.1 million related to the impairment of goodwill, amortizable intangible assets and property and equipment associated with our Connectivity Group business segment.
 
Interest income, net.  Interest income, net consists primarily of interest earned on our cash balances and short-term investments. Interest expense relates to our revolving line of credit with a bank. The following table summarizes the year-over-year comparison of interest income, net for the periods indicated ($ in thousands):

The 2008 decrease was primarily due to generally declining interest rates during 2008. At December 31, 2008, the average yield on our cash and short-term investments was approximately 2.2%.
 
The 2007 decrease was primarily due to generally declining interest rates during 2007. At December 31, 2007, the average yield on our cash and short-term investments was approximately 4.7%.
 
Gain on disposal of assets.  Gain on disposal of assets consists of the net proceeds received from the disposal of assets, less the remaining net book value of the disposed assets.

The 2008 gain on disposal of assets was primarily due to our sale of a portfolio of 23 patents and patents pending relating to our foldable keyboard intellectually property, with a net book value of $344,000 for net proceeds of approximately $1.0 million which resulted in a gain of approximately $656,000.
 
The 2007 gain on disposal of assets was primarily due to our sale of a portfolio of 13 patents and patents pending relating to our Split Bridge and serialized PCI intellectual property, with a net book value of $28,000 for net proceeds of approximately $1.8 million, which resulted in a gain of approximately $1.8 million.
 
Litigation settlement.  Litigation settlement consists of income/expenses incurred in connection with the settlement of litigation. The following table summarizes the year-over-year comparison of litigation settlement income/expense for the periods indicated:

Certain former officers of iGo Corporation had sought potential indemnification claims against our wholly-owned subsidiary, iGo Direct Corporation, relating to an SEC matter involving such individuals (but not involving us) that related to matters that arose prior to our acquisition of iGo Corporation in September 2002. We initiated litigation against the carrier of iGo Corporation’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance for coverage of these claims under its insurance policy. During 2006, we reached settlement agreements with two of the three former officers of iGo Corporation that were seeking indemnification from us, and during the quarter ended March 31, 2008, we settled our litigation with iGo Corporation’s former insurance carrier, obtaining reimbursement from the insurance carrier in the amount of $1,500,000. Further, in connection with our settlement with the insurance carrier, we reached a settlement agreement with the last of the three former officers of iGo Corporation and reimbursed him $828,000 in final settlement of all his indemnification claims. We recorded net litigation settlement income of $672,000 during the year ended December 31, 2008. On July 18, 2008, the SEC announced it had settled its case against each of the three former officers of iGo Corporation.
 
The 2006 litigation settlement expense consisted of a $250,000 expense incurred as a result of our settlement of litigation with Tom de Jong, who was a former officer of iGo Corporation. Mr. de Jong had sought indemnification from us for his legal expenses incurred in connection with an SEC investigation. Pursuant to the terms of the settlement, we agreed to pay Mr. de Jong $250,000 as full satisfaction of any indemnification claims against our wholly-owned subsidiary, iGo Direct Corporation.
 
Income taxes.  We have incurred net operating losses from inception through the end of 2008; therefore, no provision for income taxes was required for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 or 2006. Based on historical operating losses and projections for future taxable income, it is more likely than not that we will not fully realize the

Table of Contents

benefits of the net operating loss carry-forwards. Thus, we have not recorded a tax benefit from our net operating loss carry-forwards for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006.
 
Operating Outlook
 
Due to a recent world economic downturn, we have recently experienced a decline in consumer demand for our products. It is difficult for us to predict the depth and length of this economic downturn and the corresponding impact on our business in the long-term. We expect 2009 revenue to decrease slightly from 2008 levels, primarily due to a reduction in consumer demand for mobile electronic accessories resulting from the ongoing worldwide recession, partially offset by anticipated further gains in market penetration into mobile wireless carriers, distributors and retailers largely through our sales efforts.
 
We expect gross margin in 2009 will be relatively consistent with 2008 gross margin. We expect operating expenses related to our power businesses to decrease in 2009 compared to 2008, as we expect reduced general and administrative expenses, partially offset by increased spending in sales and marketing and research and development. We expect the operating results of Mission Technology Group, which are included in our Connectivity Business Segment, in 2009 will approximate the 2008 operating results.
 
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 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.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Cash and Cash Flow.  Our available cash and cash equivalents are held in bank deposits and money market funds in the United States and the United Kingdom. Our intent is that the cash balances in the United Kingdom will remain there for future growth and investments, and we will meet any liquidity requirements in the United States through ongoing cash flows, external financing, or both. We actively monitor the third-party depository institutions that hold our cash and cash equivalents. Our emphasis is primarily on safety of principal while secondarily maximizing yield on those funds. We diversify our cash and cash equivalents among counterparties to minimize exposure to any one of these entities. To date, we have experienced no material loss or lack of access to our invested cash or cash equivalents; however, we can provide no assurances that access to our invested cash and cash equivalents will not be impacted by adverse conditions in the financial markets.
 
At any point in time we have funds in our operating accounts and customer accounts that are with third-party financial institutions. These balances in the U.S. may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance limits. While we monitor the cash balances in our operating accounts and adjust the cash balances as appropriate, these cash balances could be impacted if the underlying financial institutions fail or could be subject to other adverse conditions in the financial markets.
 
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. In addition to our cash flow from operations, our primary sources of liquidity have been funds provided by issuances of equity securities and proceeds from the sale of intellectual property assets. We cannot assure you that these sources will be available to us in the future.
 
Capital markets in the United States and throughout the world remain disrupted and under stress. This disruption and stress is evidenced by a lack of liquidity in the debt capital markets, the re-pricing of credit risk in the syndicated credit market and the failure of certain major financial institutions. This stress is compounded by the ongoing severe worldwide rescission. Despite actions of the U.S. federal government, these events have contributed to worsening general economic conditions that are materially and adversely impacting the broader financial and credit markets and reduced the availability of debt capital for the market as a whole. Reflecting this concern, many lenders and capital providers have reduced, and in some cases ceased to provide, debt funding to borrowers. The

Table of Contents

resulting lack of available credit, lack of confidence in the financial sector, increased volatility in the financial markets and reduced business activity could materially and adversely impact our ability to obtain additional or alternative financing.
 
The following table sets forth for the period presented certain consolidated cash flow information (in thousands):
 
                         
    Year Ended December 31,  
    2008     2007     2006

  $ 26,139     $ 15,908     $ 9,201  
                         
 
  •  Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities.  Cash was provided by operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2008 as operating losses were more than offset by non-cash expenses and decreases to accounts receivable and inventories as a result of our reduced revenue base in 2008. In 2009, we expect to continue to generate cash from operating activities as we expect operating losses to decline and non-cash items to more than offset any operating losses that may be incurred. Our consolidated cash flow operating metrics are as follows:
 
                         
    Year Ended December 31,  
    2008     2007     2006  
 
Days outstanding in ending accounts receivable (“DSOs”)
    59       79       82  
Inventory turns
    9       6       6  
 
The decrease in DSOs at December 31, 2008 compared to December 31, 2007 was primarily due to the reductions in accounts receivable from Lenovo due to the loss of that account, combined with the faster timing of payments received from Targus. We expect DSOs will increase in 2009 as a result of anticipated timing of cash receipts from our customers. The increase in inventory turns was primarily due to excess and obsolete inventory charges recorded during 2007 relating to our connectivity, low-power and keyboard inventories. We expect to manage inventory growth during 2009 and we expect 2009 inventory turns to remain consistent with 2008.
 
  •  Net cash provided by investing activities.  For the year ended December 31, 2008, net cash was provided by investing activities as we generated net proceeds from the sale of investments of $4.1 million and proceeds from the sale of intellectual property assets of $1.0 million, partially offset by 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 (used in) financing activities.  Net cash provided by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2008 was primarily from net proceeds from the exercise of stock options and warrants. Although we expect to generate cash flows from operations sufficient to support our operations, we may issue additional shares of stock in the future to generate cash for growth opportunities.
 
Investments.  At December 31, 2008, our investments in marketable securities included six corporate bonds and three commercial paper instruments issued by various companies with a total fair value of approximately $5.0 million. Five of these securities were in an unrealized loss position, which represents less than 1% of the book value of all marketable securities in the portfolio.


39


Table of Contents

We believe we have the ability to hold all marketable securities to maturity. However, we may dispose of securities prior to their scheduled maturity due to changes in interest rates, prepayments, tax and credit considerations, liquidity or regulatory capital requirements, or other similar factors. As a result, we classify all marketable securities as available-for-sale. These securities are reported at fair value based on third-party broker statements, which represents level 2 in the FAS 157 fair value hierarchy, with unrealized gains and losses, reported in stockholders’ equity as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income.
 
Financing Facilities.  In July 2008, the line of credit we had entered into in July 2006 expired and we elected to not renew this credit facility due to our current cash and investment position. In the future, debt financing may not be available to us in amounts or on terms that are acceptable to us.
 
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 December 31, 2008 (amounts in thousands):
 
                                                 
    Payment due by period

The preceding table does not include Mission Technology Group’s contractual obligations.
 
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 May 2006, we acquired the assets of the foldable keyboard business from Think Outside, Inc. for $2.5 million, which consideration was paid entirely by the issuance of 362,740 shares of our common stock.
 
In the first quarter of 2007, we entered into three separate transactions to sell the assets of our Connectivity Group.
 
In the first transaction, we sold to CradlePoint, Inc. the assets of the handheld hardware product line for $50,000 in cash, $250,000 in a short-term receivable, $1.5 million in notes receivable, 5% of the acquirer’s revenues for five years, with a minimum payment of $300,000 due within three years, and 100% of the first $200,000, and 50% thereafter, of any sales beyond the first $1.8 million of inventory purchased by the acquirer at the closing. As of February 26, 2009, CradlePoint was not in compliance with the terms of the promissory note. The net remaining recorded balance of the $1.5 million promissory note is $80,000 at March 6, 2009. To date, we have not recorded any receivables related to the future royalty streams due to us under the terms of the CradlePoint sale.
 
The second and third transactions involved the sale of substantially all of the assets of our expansion and docking business. The agreements for these transactions were executed in February 2007 and the transactions were completed in April 2007. In one transaction, we sold a portfolio of patents and patents pending relating to our PCI expansion and docking technology to A.H. Cresant Group LLC. In the other transaction, we sold substantially all of the assets related to our expansion and docking business to Mission Technology Group, an entity that is owned by Randy Jones, our former Senior Vice President and General Manager, Connectivity. As a result of these two transactions, the Company received total net proceeds of approximately $4.8 million consisting of $925,000 in cash and two promissory notes totaling approximately $3.9 million. At the closing, we also received a 15% fully-diluted equity interest in Mission Technology Group. Given the related party nature of this transaction, we retained an independent, third party financial advisor to assist us. In determining the sales price for these assets and liabilities, we evaluated past performance and expected future performance, and received an opinion from our financial advisor that the consideration to be received was fair from a financial point of view. Our Board of Directors approved these transactions following a separate review and recommended approval of the Mission Technology Group transaction by our Audit Committee. We include the assets, liabilities and operating results of Mission Technology Group in our consolidated financial statements pursuant to FIN 46R. Connectivity Group revenue

Table of Contents

accounted for approximately 9% of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2008. The operating results of Mission Technology Group are included in the results of the Connectivity Group and constituted all of the operating income of this group for the year ended December 31, 2008.
 
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, issuance of additional equity securities or a combination of all of these. 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.
 
Net Operating Loss Carry-forwards.  As of December 31, 2008, we had approximately $157 million of federal, foreign and state net operating loss carry-forwards which expire at various dates. We anticipate that the sale of common stock in our initial public offering and in subsequent private offerings, as well as the issuance of our common stock for acquisitions, coupled with prior sales of common stock will cause an annual limitation on the use of our net operating loss carry-forwards 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 carry-forwards in the future. Additionally, our ability to use the net operating loss carry-forwards is dependent upon our level of future profitability, which cannot be determined.
 
Liquidity Outlook.  Based on our projections, we believe that our existing cash, cash equivalents, investments and our cash flow from operations 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 seek to obtain debt financing or sell additional equity securities. The sale of additional equity 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.

See Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements for a summary of recently issued accounting pronouncements.
 
Item 7A.   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 equivalents and line of credit resulting from a hypothetical 1.0% (100 basis point) change in interest rates, was not material at December 31, 2008.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 
The Board of Directors and Stockholders
iGo, Inc.:
 
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of iGo, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and comprehensive income (loss), and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2008. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of iGo, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2008, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
 
As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, effective January 1, 2007, the Company has changed its method of accounting for uncertainty in income taxes due to the adoption of the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 and, effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted the disclosure provisions of FASB Statement of Financial Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements.

IGO, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
 
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Years Ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006
 
(1)  Nature of Business
 
iGo, Inc. and subsidiaries (collectively, “iGo” or the “Company”) formerly known as Mobility Electronics, Inc., was formed on May 4, 1995. iGo was originally formed as a limited liability corporation; however, in August 1996 the Company became a C Corporation incorporated in the State of Delaware.
 
iGo designs, develops, manufactures and/or distributes power products for high-power mobile electronic devices, such as portable computers; power products for low-power mobile electronic devices, such as mobile phones, PDAs, and MP3 players; expansion and docking products; and mobile electronic accessory products. iGo distributes products in North America, Europe and Asia Pacific.
 
(2)  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
  (a) Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of 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.
 
The Company believes its critical accounting policies, consisting of revenue recognition, inventory valuation, long-lived asset valuation, deferred tax asset valuation, and variable interest entities affect its more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of its consolidated financial statements. These policies are discussed below.
 
  (b) Principles of Consolidation
 
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of iGo, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Mobility California, Inc., Mobility Idaho, Inc., Mobility 2001 Limited, Mobility Texas, Inc., Mobility Assets, Inc. and iGo Direct Corporation, and as of April 16, 2007, the accounts of Mission Technology Group, Inc. (“Mission”), in which Mobility California, Inc. holds a 15% equity interest (collectively, “iGo” or the “Company”). The accounts of Mission Technology Group are consolidated pursuant to Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 46R, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” (“FIN 46R”). Refer to Note 3 for further discussion of FIN 46R. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
 
  (c) Revenue Recognition
 
The Company recognizes net revenue when the earnings process is complete, as evidenced by an agreement with the customer, transfer of title and acceptance, if applicable, as well as fixed pricing and probable collectibility. Revenue from product sales is recognized upon shipment and transfer of ownership from the Company or contract manufacturer to the customer, unless the customer has full right of return, in which case revenue is deferred until the product has sold through to the end user. 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 the Company’s estimates, revisions to the estimated allowance for sales returns and credits may be required.

IGO, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
 
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Years Ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006 — (Continued)
 
(d) Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
All short-term investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and amounts on deposit with financial institutions.
 
(e) Investments
 
Short-term investments that have an original maturity between three months and one year and a remaining maturity of less than one year are classified as available-for-sale. Long-term investments that have an original maturity of greater than one year are classified as available-for-sale. Available-for-sale securities are recorded at fair value and are classified as current assets due to the Company’s intent and practice to hold these readily marketable investments for less than one year. Any unrealized holding gains and losses related to available-for-sale securities are recorded, net of tax, as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income. When a decline in fair value is determined to be other than temporary, unrealized losses on available-for-sale securities are charged against net earnings. Realized gains and losses are accounted for on the specific identification method.
 
(f) Accounts Receivable
 
Accounts receivable consist of trade receivables from customers and short-term notes receivable. The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of the Company’s customers to make required payments. The allowance is assessed on a regular basis by management and is based upon management’s periodic review of the collectibility of the receivables with respect to historical experience. If the financial condition of the Company’s customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required. The Company also maintains an allowance for sales returns and credits in the amount of the difference between the sales price and the cost of revenue based on management’s periodic review and estimate of returns. Should the actual return or sales credit rates differ from the Company’s estimates, revisions to the estimated allowance for sales returns and credits may be required.
 
(g) Inventories
 
Inventories consist of finished goods and component parts purchased partially and fully assembled for computer accessory items. The Company has all normal risks and rewards of its inventory held by contract manufacturers and outsourced product fulfillment hubs. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market. Inventories include material, labor and overhead costs. Overhead costs are allocated to inventory based on a percentage of material costs. The Company monitors usage reports to determine if the carrying value of any items should be adjusted due to lack of demand for the items. The Company adjusts down the carrying value of 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. If actual market conditions are less favorable than those projected by management, additional inventory write-downs may be required.
 
(h) Property and Equipment
 
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation on furniture, fixtures and equipment is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets ranging from three to five years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the lease term or estimated useful life. Tooling is capitalized at cost and is depreciated over a two-year period. We periodically evaluate the recoverability of property and equipment and take into account events or circumstances that warrant revised estimates of useful lives or that indicate that an impairment exists. The Company evaluates recoverability by a comparison of the carrying amount of the assets to future projections of undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the assets. The estimated future cash

flows used are based on our business plans and forecasts, which consider historical results adjusted for future expectations. If future market conditions and the Company’s outlook deteriorate, the Company may be required to record impairment charges in the future.
 
(i) Intangible Assets
 
Intangible assets include the cost of patents, trademarks and non-compete agreements, as well as identifiable intangible assets acquired through business combinations including trade names, customer lists and software technology. Intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated economic lives of three to 10 years. We periodically evaluate the recoverability of intangible assets and take into account events or circumstances that warrant revised estimates of useful lives or that indicate that an impairment exists. The Company evaluates recoverability by a comparison of the carrying amount of the assets to future projections of undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the assets. The estimated future cash flows used are based on our business plans and forecasts, which consider historical results adjusted for future expectations. If future market conditions and the Company’s outlook deteriorate, the Company may be required to record impairment charges in the future. All of the Company’s intangible assets are subject to amortization.
 
(j) Warranty Costs
 
The Company provides limited warranties on certain of its products for periods generally not exceeding three years. The Company accrues for the estimated cost of warranties at the time revenue is recognized. The accrual is based on the Company’s actual claim experience. Should actual warranty claim rates, or service delivery costs, differ from our estimates, revisions to the estimated warranty liability would be required.
 
(k) Income Taxes
 
The Company utilizes the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the asset and liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
 
The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce its deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. While the Company has considered forecasts of future taxable income and ongoing prudent and feasible tax planning strategies in assessing the need for the valuation allowance, in the event the Company was to determine that it would be able to realize its deferred tax assets in the future in excess of the net recorded amount, an adjustment to the valuation allowance and deferred tax benefit would increase net income in the period such determination was made.
 
(l) Net Income (Loss) per Common Share
 
Basic income (loss) per share is computed by dividing income (loss) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted income (loss) per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted to common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings or loss of the Company. In 2007 and 2006, the assumed exercise of outstanding stock options and warrants and the impact of restricted stock units have been excluded from the calculations of diluted net loss per share as their effect is anti-dilutive.

(m) Share-based Compensation
 
The Company measures all share-based payments to employees at fair value and records expense in the consolidated statement of operations over the requisite service period (generally the vesting period).
 
During the year ended December 31, 2006, the Company completed a voluntary review of its historical stock option granting practices that was overseen by the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors, with the assistance of legal counsel. The Company determined that it used incorrect measurement dates with respect to the accounting for certain previously granted stock options, primarily during the years 2000 through 2004, as a result of lapses in documentation and deficiencies in option plan administration controls. Accordingly, the Company recorded a pretax cumulative charge of $717,000 in the year ended December 31, 2006 in general and administrative expense related to certain grants dating back to fiscal 2000, based upon the Company’s determination that such grants had intrinsic value on the applicable measurement dates of the option grants. The Company determined the effect of the incorrect measurement dates was not material to any prior fiscal year or interim periods in fiscal 2006.
 
The Company is currently assessing the impact of negative tax consequences that might arise for employees as a result of this matter. During 2007, the Company decided to compensate employees for any such negative tax consequences that may have arisen. The Company has requested a voluntary closing agreement with the Internal Revenue Service in connection with this issue. The Internal Revenue Service has commenced a limited scope audit of the tax consequences of the above discussed stock option grants. The Company has recorded a liability of $600,000 in the accompanying financial statements as its estimate of potential exposure.
 
(n) Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
The Company’s financial instruments include cash equivalents, short-term investments, accounts receivable, long-term investments, accounts payable and notes payable. Due to the short-term nature of cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable, the fair value of these instruments approximates their recorded value. In the opinion of management, based upon current information, the fair value of notes payable approximates market value. The Company does not have material financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk.
 
(o) Research and Development
 
The cost of research and development is charged to expense as incurred.
 
(p) Foreign Currency Translation
 
The financial statements of the Company’s foreign subsidiary are measured using the local currency as the functional currency. Assets and liabilities of this subsidiary are translated at exchange rates as of the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at average rates of exchange in effect during the year. The resulting cumulative translation adjustments have been recorded as comprehensive income (loss), a separate component of stockholders’ equity.
 
(q) Segment Reporting
 
The Company is engaged in the business of selling accessories for computers and mobile electronic devices. The Company has three reporting business segments, consisting of the High-Power Group, Low-Power Group, and Connectivity Group. As of December 31, 2008 and 2007, the results of the Connectivity Segment consist of the operating results of Mission.

(r) Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
 
In October 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Staff Position (FSP) FAS 157-3, “Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset Is Not Active” which clarifies the application of Statement No. 157 in an inactive market and illustrates how an entity would determine fair value when the market for a financial asset is not active. The Staff Position is effective immediately and applies to prior periods for which financial statements have not been issued, including interim or annual periods ending on or before September 30, 2008. The implementation of FAS 157-3 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
 
In April 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS 142-3, “Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets” (“FSP 142-3”). FSP 142-3 amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (“SFAS 142”). This change is intended to improve the consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS 142 and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset under SFAS 141R and other GAAP. The requirement for determining useful lives must be applied prospectively to intangible assets acquired after the effective date and the disclosure requirements must be applied prospectively to all intangible assets recognized as of, and subsequent to, the effective date. FSP 142-3 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years, which will require the Company to adopt these provisions in the first quarter of fiscal 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting FSP 142-3 on its consolidated financial statements.
 
In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 141 (revised 2007) (“SFAS 141R”), “Business Combinations”. SFAS 141R establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer in a business combination recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree at the acquisition date fair value. SFAS 141R significantly changes the accounting for business combinations in a number of areas including the treatment of contingent consideration, pre-acquisition contingencies, transaction costs, in-process research and development and restructuring costs. In addition, under SFAS 141R, changes in an acquired entity’s deferred tax assets and uncertain tax positions after the measurement period will impact income tax expense. SFAS 141R provides guidance regarding what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS 141R is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 with early application prohibited. The Company will adopt SFAS 141R beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2009 and will change its accounting treatment for business combinations on a prospective basis.
 
In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 160 (“SFAS 160”), “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51”. SFAS 160 changes the accounting and reporting for minority interests, which will be re-characterized as noncontrolling interests and classified as a component of equity. This new consolidation method significantly changes the accounting for transactions with minority interest holders. SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 with early application prohibited. As a result of adopting SFAS 160, beginning in fiscal 2009 operating losses will be allocated to noncontrolling interests even when such allocation results in a deficit balance (i.e., book value can go negative). The Company will present noncontrolling interests (currently shown as minority interest) as a component of equity on the consolidated balance sheets and minority interest expense will no longer be separately reported as a reduction to net income on the consolidated statements of operations. The Company does not anticipate the adoption of SFAS 160 to have any other material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
 
In December 2007, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position FAS 157-b, “Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157,” which delays the effective date of Statement No. 157 for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial

liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually) to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. In accordance with the new rule, the Company will adopt Statement No. 157 for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities in the first quarter of 2009 and does not expect adoption to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
 
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 157 (“SFAS 157”), “Fair Value Measurements,” which provides enhanced guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities. SFAS 157 establishes a common definition of fair value, provides a framework for measuring fair value under U.S. GAAP and expands disclosure requirements about fair value measurements. The Company adopted the disclosure provisions of SFAS 157 for financial assets and liabilities effective January 1, 2008. The implementation of SFAS 157 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. See Note 5 for additional fair value disclosures.
 
(3)   Variable Interest Entity
 
FIN 46R requires the “primary beneficiary” of a variable interest entity (“VIE”) to include the VIE’s assets, liabilities and operating results in its consolidated financial statements. In general, a VIE is a corporation, partnership, limited-liability corporation, trust or any other legal structure used to conduct activities or hold assets that either (i) has an insufficient amount of equity to carry out its principal activities without additional subordinated financial support, (ii) has a group of equity owners that are unable to make significant decisions about its activities, or (iii) has a group of equity owners that do not have the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive returns generated by its operations.
 
In April 2007, the Company completed a sale of the assets of its expansion and docking business to Mission, an entity that was formed by a former officer of the Company, in exchange for $3,930,000 of notes receivable and a 15% common equity interest. There was no cash equity contributed to Mission at its formation and Mission’s equity consists solely of its operating profit. Accordingly, the Company has determined that Mission does not have sufficient equity to carry out its principal operating activities without subordinated financial support, and that Mission qualifies as a VIE under FIN 46R. The Company has also determined that its 15% equity interest and its notes receivable qualify as variable interests under FIN 46R. Furthermore, as Mission is obligated to repay the promissory notes it issued to the Company, the Company has determined that it is the primary beneficiary of the VIE, and accordingly, must include the assets, liabilities and operating results of Mission in its consolidated financial statements. As of December 31, 2008, the unpaid balance of the notes receivable from Mission was $2,364,000. The Company reports as “minority interest” the portion of the Company’s net earnings that is attributable to the collective ownership interests of minority investors. Minority interest represents the 85% share in the net earnings of Mission held by other owners.

(5)   Fair Value Measurement
 
As of December 31, 2008, the Company’s financial assets and financial liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis are comprised of overnight money market funds and investments in marketable securities.
 
The Company invests excess cash from its operating cash accounts in overnight money market funds and reflects these amounts within cash and cash equivalents on the consolidated balance sheet at a net value of 1:1 for each dollar invested.
 
At December 31, 2008, investments totaling $4,964,000 are included within short-term investments on the consolidated balance sheet. These investments are considered available-for-sale securities and are reported at fair value based on third-party broker statements which represents level 2 in the SFAS 157 fair value hierarchy. The unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income. Realized gains and losses are included in interest income, net.
 
(6)  Investments
 
The Company evaluates its investments in marketable securities in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 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 unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities, net of taxes, are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income. Realized gains and losses are included in interest income (expense), net.
 
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.
 
The Company received net proceeds of $4,059,000 from the sale of available-for-sale marketable securities during the year ended December 31, 2008.

Aggregate depreciation and amortization expense for property and equipment totaled $748,000, $1,274,000 and $1,238,000 for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
 
(9)   Asset Impairment
 
The Company incurred no asset impairment charges during the year ended December 31, 2008.
 
During the quarter ended December 31, 2007, in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” (“SFAS 144”) and Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (“SFAS 142”), the Company determined that there was an indication that property and equipment, with a gross value of $917,000, amortizable intangible assets, with a gross value of $970,000, associated with its Low-Power Group segment, and goodwill with a gross value of $3,912,000 associated with its High-Power and Low-Power Group segments might be impaired. Accordingly, the Company performed impairment analyses in accordance with SFAS 144 and SFAS 142 and determined that these property and equipment assets, amortizable intangible assets, and goodwill were impaired due to a significant deterioration in forecasted sales. As a result, during the quarter ended December 31, 2007, the Company recorded impairment charges of $563,000 related to property and equipment, which was net of accumulated depreciation of $353,000, $573,000 related to amortizable intangible assets, which was net of accumulated amortization of $397,000, and $3,912,000 related to goodwill. These impairment charges are included in the consolidated statements of operations under the caption “Asset Impairment.”
 
During the quarter ended September 30, 2006, as a result of a sharp downturn in handheld product sales, and in accordance with SFAS 144 and SFAS 142, the Company determined that there was an indication that property and equipment, with a gross value of $1,079,000, and amortizable intangible assets, with a gross value of $1,642,000, and goodwill with a gross value of $6,895,000 associated with its Connectivity Group segment might be impaired. Accordingly, the Company performed impairment analyses in accordance with SFAS 144 and SFAS 142 and determined that these property and equipment assets, amortizable intangible assets, and goodwill were impaired due to a significant deterioration in current quarter sales and forecasted sales to the segment’s largest customer. As a result, during the quarter ended September 30, 2006, the Company recorded impairment charges of $488,000 related to property and equipment, which was net of accumulated depreciation of $591,000, $690,000 related to amortizable intangible assets, which was net of accumulated amortization of $952,000, and $6,895,000 related to goodwill. These impairment charges are included in the consolidated statements of operations under the caption “Asset impairment.”

$344,000, resulting in a gain on the sale of these assets of $656,000. The Company continues to maintain all of its patents and patents pending related to its power and other technologies.
 
In April 2007, the Company sold a portfolio of patents and patents pending related to its PCI expansion and docking technology for gross proceeds of $1,850,000. The net book value of this portfolio of patents was $28,000, resulting in a gain on the sale of these assets of $1,822,000. Per the terms of the agreement, the Company received a perpetual, non-exclusive license to utilize the patent portfolio, and granted a sublicense to Mission in its ongoing connectivity business.
 
In connection with the April 2007 sale of patents, the Company disposed of a license asset related to its PCI expansion and docking business, which had a gross value of $400,000, accumulated amortization of $163,000, and a net book value of $237,000, resulting in a loss on disposition of $237,000.
 
As discussed in Note 8 above, during the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company determined that trademarks with a gross value of $190,000 and customer intangibles of $780,000 were impaired. Accordingly, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $573,000 during 2007 which was net of accumulated amortization of $150,000 related to trademarks and $247,000 related to customer intangibles. Also, during the year ended December 31, 2006, the Company determined that license fees with a gross value of $1,013,000 and customer intangibles of $629,000 were impaired. Accordingly, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $690,000 during 2006 which was net of accumulated amortization of $359,000 related to license fees and $594,000 related to customer intangibles.
 
Aggregate amortization expense for identifiable intangible assets totaled $815,000, $800,000 and $883,000 for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

(11)   Notes Receivable and Other Assets
 
In February 2007, the Company sold substantially all of the assets, which consisted primarily of inventory, of its handheld connectivity business to CradlePoint, Inc. (“CradlePoint”) for $1,800,000 plus potential additional consideration based on future performance. At the closing, the Company received $50,000 in cash and a promissory note for $1,500,000, bearing interest at the rate of 6% annually, to be paid within two years as CradlePoint sells the inventory it acquired in the transaction. The Company received a cash payment of $250,000 in August 2007. The contract terms specify that the Company will also receive (1) 5% of CradlePoint’s revenues for five years, with a minimum payment of $300,000 due within three years, and (2) 100% of the first $200,000, and 50% thereafter, of any sales beyond the first $1,800,000 of inventory purchased by CradlePoint at the closing.
 
The estimated net realizable value of the note receivable from CradlePoint in connection with this transaction is included in notes receivable and other assets. The net balance of the CradlePoint note receivable was $210,000 as of December 31, 2008 and $683,000 as of December 31, 2007.

(13)   Income Taxes
 
The provision for income taxes includes income taxes currently payable and those deferred due to temporary differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future. The Company recorded no provision for income taxes for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006.
 
The provision for income taxes differed from the amounts computed by applying the statutory U.S. federal income tax rate of 34% in 2008, 2007 and 2006 to income (loss) before income taxes as a result of the following:

With the exception of 2005 and 2008, the Company has generated net operating losses for both financial and income tax reporting purposes since inception. At December 31, 2008, the Company had net operating loss carry-forwards for federal income tax purposes of approximately $157,119,000 and approximately $7,761,000 for foreign income tax purposes which, subject to possible annual limitations, are available to offset future taxable income, if any. The federal net operating loss carry-forwards expire between 2018 and 2028.

  $     $  
                 
 
The valuation allowance for deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2008 and 2007 was $63,828,000 and $44,943,000, respectively. The change in the total valuation allowance for the year ended December 31, 2008 was an increase of $18,885,000.
 
In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. In addition, due to the frequency of equity transactions and acquisitions by the Company, it is possible the use of the Company’s remaining net operating loss carry-forward may be limited in accordance with Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. In 2005, a preliminary Section 382 assessment was performed on the net operating losses of iGo which were acquired as part of the iGo acquisition in 2002. Based on this preliminary assessment, the Company has determined that it is doubtful that these net operating losses will be utilized due to the limitations of Section 382. Therefore, the deferred tax asset and the related valuation allowance for these net operating losses was reduced by $18,678,000 in 2005 to reflect the fact that this portion of the net operating losses will never be used. An updated Section 382 assessment was finalized in 2008. Based on the updated assessment, it was determined that the limitations of Section 382 will not prevent the Company from utilizing its net operating losses if there is sufficient income generated before the losses expire. Therefore, the Company reversed the 2005 reduction of the deferred tax asset and the related valuation allowance. The reversal caused a $19,670,000 increase in net operating loss carry forwards, which is offset by a corresponding increase in valuation allowance.
 
Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in assessing the valuation allowance. Based upon the level of historical taxable income and

projections for future taxable income over the periods in which the deferred tax assets are deductible, management currently believes it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize the benefits of these deductible differences.
 
Uncertain Tax Positions
 
As discussed in Note 2, in July 2006, the FASB issued FIN 48, which prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The Interpretation requires that the Company recognize in the financial statements, the impact of a tax position, if that position is not more likely than not of being sustained, based on the technical merits of the position. FIN 48 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods and disclosure.
 
The Company adopted the provisions of FIN 48 on January 1, 2007. As a result of the adoption, the Company recognized no material adjustment to income tax accounts that existed as of December 31, 2006. It is the Company’s policy to recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in general and administrative expense. As a result of its historical net operating losses, the statute of limitations remains open for each tax year since the Company was formed in 1996.
 
A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows (amounts in thousands):
 
                 
    December 31,
    December 31,
 
    2008     2007  
 
Gross unrecognized tax benefits, beginning of year
  $ 297     $  
Additions based on tax positions related to the current year
    41       30  
Additions/Subtractions for tax positions of prior years
    (27 )     267  
Reductions for settlements and payments
           
Reductions due to statute expiration
           
                 
Gross unrecognized tax benefits, end of year
  $ 311     $ 297  
                 
 
Included in the balance of gross unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2008, are $64,000 of tax positions for which the ultimate deductibility is highly certain but for which there is uncertainty about the timing of such deductibility. Because of the impact of deferred tax accounting, other than interest and penalties, the disallowance of the shorter deductibility period would not affect the annual effective tax rate but would normally accelerate the payment of cash to the taxing authority to an earlier period. However, because the Company has significant tax net operating losses in the federal and most state taxing jurisdictions, the Company believes any ultimate settlement of these items differently than as reported in the original tax returns will have little or no impact.
 
Included in the balance of gross unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2008 is $247,000 of tax positions for which ultimate tax benefit is uncertain. These amounts consist of various credits. Because of the permanent nature of these items the disallowance would normally impact the effective tax rate.
 
With respect to the uncertain positions identified above, both timing and credit items, the Company has established a valuation allowance against all of the credit carry-forward amounts and the net deferred tax assets. Further, sufficient net operating loss exists to offset any potential increase in taxable items. Therefore, any reversal or settlement of the amounts identified above should result in little or no additional tax. Accordingly, no interest or penalty has been accrued or included related to the table amounts shown above.
 
There are no positions the Company reasonably anticipates will significantly increase or decrease within 12 months of the reporting date.

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, and various state and foreign jurisdictions. With few exceptions, the Company is subject to examinations in all jurisdictions as statutes have not closed due to a history of net operating losses. The Company’s U.S. income tax return for 2005 is currently under audit with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). The Company cannot offer any indication as to when the audit will be complete or what issues, if any, will be raised. The Company anticipates any adjustments proposed will have little, if any, impact due to the large tax net operating loss carry-forwards.

Cash received from option exercises during the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006 totaled $9,000, $239,000 and $606,000, respectively.
 
In June 2007, the Company recorded in general and administrative expense pre-tax charges of $65,000 associated with the expensing of stock options, due to a modification to a prior grant of stock options that resulted in a new measurement date for that option award. The Company used the Black-Scholes option valuation model to value the option award as of the new measurement date using the following assumptions: weighted average life of 2.6 years, risk free rate of 4.9%, volatility of 65%, and dividend rate of 0%.
 
For the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, the Company recorded in general and administrative expense pre-tax charges of $0, $65,000 and $912,000 associated with the expensing of stock options and employee stock purchase plan activity.
 
As of December 31, 2008, there were no outstanding non-vested stock options, and no unrecognized compensation expense relating to non-vested stock options.
 
(c)   Restricted Stock Units
 
Under the 2004 Directors Plan and the 2004 Omnibus Plan, the Company has granted Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”), in lieu of stock options. The RSUs are accounted for using the measurement and recognition principles of SFAS 123(R). Accordingly, unearned compensation is measured at fair market value on the date of grant and recognized as compensation expense over the period in which the RSUs vest. All RSUs awarded during 2005 and 2006 will vest on January 13, 2010, but may vest earlier, in full, if specific performance criteria are met or, on a pro rata basis, upon the death, disability, termination without cause, or retirement of plan participants. All RSUs awarded during 2007 and 2008 will vest ratably on January 2, 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011, but may vest earlier, either partially or in full, if specific performance criteria are met or, on a pro rata basis, upon the death, disability, termination without cause, or retirement of plan participants. RSUs awarded to board members under the 2004 Directors Plan for election to the board vest 100% upon the three-year anniversary of the grant date, but may vest earlier, on a pro rata basis, upon the death, disability, or retirement of plan participants. RSUs awarded to board members under the 2004 Directors Plan for committee service vest 100% upon the one-year anniversary of the grant date, but may vest earlier, on a pro rata basis, upon the death, disability, or retirement of plan participants.
 
On June 11, 2007, pursuant to the terms of the employment agreement dated May 1, 2007 by and between the Company and Michael D. Heil, the Company’s newly elected director, chief executive officer and president, Mr. Heil was awarded 1,000,000 restricted stock units outside of the Company’s 2004 Directors Plan and 2004 Omnibus Plan as an inducement award without stockholder approval pursuant to NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 4350(i)(1)(A)(iv). Pursuant to the terms of Mr. Heil’s agreement, 500,000 of the restricted stock units will vest in increments of 125,000 shares per year effective on June 11, 2008, June 11, 2009, June 11, 2010 and June 11, 2011, or earlier, in full, upon a change in control of iGo or, on a pro rata basis, upon Mr. Heil’s death, disability or termination without cause. On March 19, 2008, the vesting terms for the remaining 500,000 restricted stock units

For the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, the Company recorded in general and administrative expense pre-tax charges of $2,062,000, $2,560,000 and $1,724,000 associated with the expensing of restricted stock unit activity.
 
As of December 31, 2008, there was $4,285,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested RSUs, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of two years.
 
As of December 31, 2008, all outstanding restricted stock units were non-vested.
 
(d)   Employee Stock Purchase Plan
 
The Company established an Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “Purchase Plan”) in October 2001, under which 2,000,000 shares of common stock have been reserved for issuance. Eligible employees may purchase a limited number of shares of the Company’s common stock at 85% of the market value at certain plan-defined dates. On January 31, 2006, the Company’s Board of Directors decided to eliminate the Purchase Plan effective April 1, 2006. During the three months ended March 31, 2006, 4,815 shares were issued under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan for net proceeds of $34,000.

(17)   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. The Company has three operating business segments, consisting of the High-Power Group, Low-Power Group, and Connectivity Group. The Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) continues to evaluate revenues and gross profits based on product lines, routes to market and geographies.
 
In February 2007, the Company sold substantially all of the assets, which consisted primarily of inventory, of its handheld hardware product line. The operating results of the handheld hardware product line were historically included in the results of the Connectivity Group. In April 2007, the Company sold substantially all of the assets, which consisted primarily of inventory, of its expansion and docking product line to Mission. The operating results of Mission are included in the consolidated financial statements pursuant to FIN 46R and are presented in the results of the 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 $250,000. 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.
 
Two customers accounted for 42% and 33% of net sales for the year ended December 31, 2008. Three customers accounted for 36%, 27%, and 10% of net sales for the year ended December 31, 2007. Three customers accounted for 25%, 17% and 17% of net sales for the year ended December 31, 2006.

Two customers’ accounts receivable balances accounted for 56% and 28% of net accounts receivable at December 31, 2008. Three customers’ accounts receivable balances accounted for 50%, 28% and 11% of net accounts receivable at December 31, 2007.
 
Allowance for doubtful accounts was $570,000 and $597,000 at December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively. Allowance for sales returns and price protection was $246,000 and $474,000 at December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively.
 
If any of our significant customers reduce, delay or cancel orders with us, and we are not able to sell our products to new customers at comparable levels, our revenues could decline significantly and could result in excess inventory and obsolescence charges. In addition, any difficulty in collecting amounts due from one or more significant customers would negatively impact our operating results.
 
(18)   Litigation Settlement
 
Certain former officers of iGo Corporation had sought potential indemnification claims against the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, iGo Direct Corporation, relating to an SEC matter involving such individuals (but not involving the Company) that related to matters that arose prior to the Company’s acquisition of iGo Corporation in September 2002. The Company initiated litigation against the carrier of iGo Corporation’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance for coverage of these claims under its insurance policy. During 2006, the Company reached settlement agreements with two of the three former officers of iGo Corporation that were seeking indemnification from the Company, resulting in litigation settlement expense of $250,000 for the year ended December 31, 2006. During the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company settled its litigation with iGo Corporation’s former insurance carrier, obtaining reimbursement from the insurance carrier in the amount of $1,500,000. Further, in connection with its settlement with the insurance carrier, the Company reached a settlement agreement with the last of the three former officers of iGo Corporation and reimbursed him $828,000 in final settlement of all his indemnification claims. The Company recorded net litigation settlement income of $672,000 during the year ended December 31, 2008. On July 18, 2008, the SEC announced it had settled its case against each of the three former officers of iGo Corporation.
 
(19)   Contingencies
 
At December 31, 2007, the Company had accrued a $325,000 liability for payroll-related taxes and potential interest and penalties in connection with the Company’s previously announced voluntary review of historical stock option granting practices and determination that certain grants had intrinsic value on the applicable measurement dates of the stock option grants. The Internal Revenue Service has commenced an audit of employment taxes due in connection with these stock option grants. Based on the progress of the audit, as of December 31, 2008, the Company accrued an additional $275,000, or a total of $600,000, related to this liability. In February 2009, the Company received an assessment from the Internal Revenue Service related to this audit in the amount of $596,000. The Company has not yet determined its response to the Internal Revenue Service in regard to this assessment.
 
The Company procures its products primarily from supply sources based in Asia. Typically, the Company places purchase orders for completed products and takes ownership of the finished inventory upon completion and delivery from its supplier. Occasionally, the Company presents its suppliers with ‘Letters of Authorization’ for the suppliers to procure long-lead raw components to be used in the manufacture of the Company’s products. These Letters of Authorization indicate the Company’s commitment to utilize the long-lead raw components in production. As of June 30, 2007, based on a change in strategic direction, the Company determined it would not procure certain products for which it had outstanding Letters of Authorization with suppliers. The Company believes it is probable that it will be required to pay suppliers for certain Letter of Authorization commitments. At December 31, 2007, the Company had estimated and accrued a liability for this contingency in the amount of $519,000. During the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company partially resolved claims with some of its

suppliers through payments totaling $268,000. Accordingly, the remaining balance of this contingent liability was $254,000 at December 31, 2008.
 
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.

Item 9A(T).   Controls and Procedures
 
Based on their evaluation as of December 31, 2008, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by us in this Annual Report on Form 10-K was recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and instructions for Form 10-K. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and our Principal Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
 
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 
Management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined by Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Based on our assessment of those criteria, management believes that the Company maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008.
 
This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.

Item 5.03.   Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
 
On March 11, 2009, iGo’s Board of Directors approved amendments to its bylaws to revise a provision regarding removal of directors to provide that a director may only be removed for cause and to make the bylaws consistent with the charter by deleting the bylaw provision that otherwise allowed the stockholders to take action without a meeting by written consent. The preceding description is qualified in its entirety by reference to iGo’s Fourth Amended and Restated Bylaws, which are filed as Exhibit 3.10 to this report and are incorporated herein by reference.

BYLAWS
 
OF
 
IGO, INC.
 
ARTICLE I
 
OFFICES
 
Section 1.  Registered Office.  The registered office and registered agent of iGo, Inc. (the “Corporation”) will be as from time to time set forth in the Corporation’s Certificate of Incorporation or in any certificate filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, and the appropriate county Recorder or Recorders, as the case may be, to amend such information.
 
Section 2.  Other Offices.  The Corporation may also have offices at such other places both within and without the State of Delaware as the Board of Directors may from time to time determine or the business of the Corporation may require.
 
ARTICLE II
 
STOCKHOLDERS
 
Section 1.  Place of Meetings.  All meetings of the stockholders for the election of Directors will be held at such place, within or without the State of Delaware, as may be fixed from time to time by the Board of Directors. Meetings of stockholders for any other purpose may be held at such time and place, within or without the State of Delaware, as may be stated in the notice of the meeting or in a duly executed waiver of notice thereof.
 
Section 2.  Annual Meeting.  An annual meeting of the stockholders will be held at such time as may be determined by the Board of Directors, at which meeting the stockholders will elect a Board of Directors, and transact such other business as may properly be brought before the meeting.
 
Section 3.  List of Stockholders.  At least ten days before each meeting of stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at said meeting, arranged in alphabetical order, with the address of and the number of voting shares registered in the name of each, will be prepared by the officer or agent having charge of the stock transfer books. Such list will be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting, during ordinary business hours, for a period of at least ten days prior to the meeting, either at a place within the city where the meeting is to be held, which place will be specified in the notice of the meeting, or if not so specified at the place where the meeting is to be held. Such list will be produced and kept open at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof, and will be subject to the inspection of any stockholder who may be present.
 
Section 4.  Special Meetings.  Special meetings of the stockholders, for any purpose or purposes, unless otherwise prescribed by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, may be called by the Chairman of the Board, the President or the Board of Directors. Business transacted at all special meetings will be confined to the purposes stated in the notice of the meeting unless all stockholders entitled to vote are present and consent.
 
Section 5.  Notice.  Written or printed notice stating the place, day and hour of any meeting of the stockholders and, in case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called, will be delivered not less than ten nor more than sixty days before the date of the meeting, either personally or by mail, by or at the direction of the Chairman of the Board, the President, the Secretary, or the officer or person calling the meeting, to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting. If mailed, such notice will be deemed to be delivered when deposited in the United States mail, addressed to the stockholder at his address as it appears on the stock transfer books of the Corporation, with postage thereon prepaid.
 
Section 6.  Quorum.  At all meetings of the stockholders, the presence in person or by proxy of the holders of a majority of the shares issued and outstanding and entitled to vote will be necessary and sufficient to constitute a quorum for the transaction of business except as otherwise provided by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws. If, however, such quorum is not present or represented at any meeting of the stockholders, the stockholders


1


 

entitled to vote thereat, present in person or represented by proxy, will have power to adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum is present or represented. If the adjournment is for more than 30 days, or if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting will be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting. At such adjourned meeting at which a quorum is present or represented, any business may be transacted that might have been transacted at the meeting as originally notified.
 
Section 7.  Voting.  When a quorum is present at any meeting of the Corporation’s stockholders, the vote of the holders of a majority of the shares entitled to vote on, and voted for or against, any matter will decide any questions brought before such meeting, unless the question is one upon which, by express provision of law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, a different vote is required, in which case such express provision will govern and control the decision of such question. The stockholders present in person or by proxy at a duly organized meeting may continue to transact business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough stockholders to leave less than a quorum.
 
Section 8.  Method of Voting.  Each outstanding share of the Corporation’s capital stock, regardless of class, will be entitled to one vote on each matter submitted to a vote at a meeting of stockholders, except to the extent that the voting rights of the shares of any class or classes are limited or denied by the Certificate of Incorporation, as amended from time to time. At any meeting of the stockholders, every stockholder having the right to vote will be entitled to vote in person, or by proxy appointed by an instrument in writing subscribed by such stockholder and bearing a date not more than three years prior to such meeting, unless such instrument provides for a longer period. Each proxy will be revocable unless expressly provided therein to be irrevocable and if, and only as long as, it is coupled with an interest sufficient in law to support an irrevocable power. A proxy may be made irrevocable regardless of whether the interest with which it is coupled is an interest in the stock itself or an interest in the Corporation generally. Such proxy will be filed with the Secretary of the Corporation prior to or at the time of the meeting. Voting on any question or in any election, other than for directors, may be by voice vote or show of hands unless the presiding officer orders, or any stockholder demands, that voting be by written ballot.
 
Section 9.  Record Date.  The Board of Directors may fix in advance a record date for the purpose of determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders, which record date will not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors, and which record date will not be less than ten nor more than sixty days prior to such meeting. In the absence of any action by the Board of Directors, the close of business on the date next preceding the day on which the notice is given will be the record date, or, if notice is waived, the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held will be the record date.
 
Section 10.  Reserved.
 
Section 11.  Notice of Stockholder Business and Nominations.
 
(a) Annual Meeting of Stockholders.
 
(1) Only persons who are nominated in accordance with the procedures set forth in these Bylaws shall be eligible to serve as directors. Nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors and the proposal of other business to be considered by the stockholders may be made at an annual meeting of stockholders (A) pursuant to the Corporation’s notice of meeting, (B) by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or (C) by any stockholder of the Corporation who (i) was a stockholder of record at the time of giving of notice provided for in this Section 11 and at the time of the annual meeting, (ii) is entitled to vote at the meeting and (iii) complies with the notice procedures set forth in this Section 11 as to such business or nomination. Clause (C) of the previous sentence shall be the exclusive means for a stockholder to make nominations or submit other business (other than matters properly brought under Rule 14a-8 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and included in the Corporation’s notice of meeting) before an annual meeting of stockholders.
 
(2)(A) Without qualification, for any nominations or any other business to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder pursuant to Section 11(a)(1)(C) of this Article II, the stockholder must have given timely notice thereof in writing to the Secretary and such other business must otherwise be a proper matter for stockholder action. To be timely, a stockholder’s notice shall be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not earlier than the close of business on the 180th day and not later than the close of


2


 

business on the 90th day prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting; provided, however, that in the event that the date of the annual meeting is more than 45 days after such anniversary date, notice by the stockholder to be timely must be so delivered not earlier than the close of business on the 120th day prior to the date of such annual meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the 90th day prior to the date of such annual meeting or, if the first public announcement of the date of such annual meeting is less than 100 days prior to the date of such annual meeting, the 10th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made by the Corporation.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, whenever the holders of any class or series of shares are entitled to elect one or more Directors by the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation, any newly created directorship(s) of such class or series to be filled by reason of an increase in the number of such Directors may be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of the Directors elected by such class or series then in office or by a sole remaining Director so elected or by the vote of the holders of the outstanding shares of such class or series, and such directorship(s) shall not in any case be filled by the vote of the remaining Directors or by the holders of the outstanding shares of the Corporation as a whole unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation.

(i) in the case of all Proceedings other than a Proceeding by or in the right of the Corporation, the Official establishes to the satisfaction of the disinterested members of the Board of Directors that he acted in good faith or in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation and, with respect to any criminal proceeding, that he did not have reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful; provided that the termination of any such Proceeding by judgment, order of court, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not by itself create a presumption as to whether the Official acted in good faith or in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation or, with respect to any criminal proceeding, as to whether he had reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful; or
 
(ii) in the case of a Proceeding by or in the right of the Corporation, the Official establishes to the satisfaction of the disinterested members of the Board of Directors that he acted in good faith or in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation; provided that if in such a Proceeding the Official is adjudged to be liable to the Corporation, all amounts advanced to the Official for expenses must be repaid except to the extent that the court in which such adjudication was made shall determine upon application that despite such adjudication, in view of all the circumstances, the Official is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court may deem proper.
 
Section 8.  Indemnification.  The Corporation will indemnify its directors to the fullest extent permitted by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware and may, if and to the extent authorized by the Board of Directors, so indemnify its officers and any other person whom it has the power to indemnify against any liability, reasonable expense or other matter whatsoever.
