Notes To UNAUDITED Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(unaudited)

(1) Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of iGo, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Mobility California, Inc., Mobility Idaho, Inc., iGo EMEA Limited, Mobility Texas, Inc., iGo Direct Corporation, Adapt Mobile Limited (“Adapt”) and Aerial7 Industries, Inc. (“Aerial7”) (collectively, “iGo” or the “Company”). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, pursuant to rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include normal recurring adjustments that are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. Certain information and footnote disclosures have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC. The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full fiscal year or any other period.

The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles 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 debt expense, sales returns and price protection, inventories, warranty obligations, impairment of long-lived assets and investments, 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.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2012, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2012-02, “Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment” (“ASU No. 2012-02”), which allows entities to use a qualitative approach to test indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment. ASU No. 2012-02 permits an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying value. If it is concluded that this is the case, it is necessary to perform the currently prescribed quantitative impairment test. Otherwise, the quantitative impairment test is not required. ASU No. 2012-02 is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. We adopted this guidance in the first interim period for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2013.

In February 2013, the FASB issued guidance that requires entities to present information about reclassification adjustments from accumulated other comprehensive income in their financial statements or footnotes. This guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2012. We adopted this guidance in the first interim period for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2013.

(2) Fair Value Measurement

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., the “exit price”) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. We classify our investments based upon an established fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described as follows:

Level 1 Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;

Level 2 Quoted prices in markets that are not considered to be active or financial instruments without quoted market prices, but for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly;

Level 3 Prices or valuations that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.

A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the carrying value of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate fair values since they are short-term in nature. 

As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the fair values of the Company’s investments and net intangible assets were as follows (in thousands):

 

		September 30, 2013				December 31, 2012

At September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, investments in U.S. municipal bond funds, totaling approximately $2,138,000 and $2,129,000, respectively, are classified as short-term investments on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. These investments are considered available-for-sale securities and are reported at fair value based on the net asset value as reported by the fund manager, which qualifies as level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

At September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, investments in marketable securities totaling zero and $60,000 are classified as long-term investments on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. In December 2012, the securities, classified as long-term investments, ceased trading in an active market. These investments are considered available-for-sale securities and are reported at fair value based on the most recent available trading price adjusted for lack of liquidity, which qualifies as level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. Prior to December 2012, they qualified as level 1. The unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities are recorded in other comprehensive loss. Realized gains and losses are included in interest income, net.

During the second quarter of 2013, the Company determined that the remaining net book value of its technology license and distribution rights from Pure Energy was fully impaired. The Company has no ability to utilize the technology related to the battery line, nor an immediate alternative manufacturing or supply capability, making it doubtful that the Company will be able to continue the product line associated with these rights.

 (3) Investments

Short-term

The Company has determined that all of its investments in short-term marketable securities should be classified as available-for-sale and reported at fair value.

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 generated net proceeds of zero and $2,779,000 from the sale of short-term available-for-sale marketable securities during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and September 30, 2012, respectively.

As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the amortized cost basis, unrealized holding gains, unrealized holding losses, and aggregate fair value of the Company’s investments in short-term marketable securities were as follows (in thousands):

 

	September 30, 2013						December 31, 2012
	Amortized Cost		Net Unrealized Holding Gains (Losses)		Aggregate Fair Value		Amortized Cost		Net Unrealized Holding Gains (Losses)		Aggregate Fair Value
U.S. municipal funds		2,129		9		2,138		2,110		19		2,129
	$	2,129	$	9	$	2,138	$	2,110	$	19	$	2,129

Long-term

In June 2011, the Company made an investment in Pure Energy Visions Corporation (“Pure Energy Visions”), which is a stockholder in Pure Energy Solutions, Inc. (“Pure Energy”), the Company's supplier of rechargeable batteries, in which the Company received 2,142,858 shares of common stock of Pure Energy Visions at a price per share equal to $0.286, and an interest-free convertible secured debenture having a one-year repayment term that converts into an additional 2,142,858 shares of Pure Energy Visions common stock in lieu of repayment either upon the achievement of certain business goals or earlier at iGo's discretion. The debenture was not collected within the one-year repayment term and the Company maintains its rights and remedies under the debenture, though it has determined the value of the debenture to be fully impaired, as discussed below. The Company did not obtain control of Pure Energy Visions as a result of this investment.

The Company assesses its long-term investments for other-than-temporary declines in value by considering various factors that include, among other things, 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. At December 31, 2012, the Company’s investment in Pure Energy Visions had a fair value significantly below its amortized cost and during the second quarter of 2013 Pure Energy was placed into receivership. Due to the duration the security had been in a loss position and the probability that its value would not be recovered, the Company considered its investment in Pure Energy Visions to be fully impaired and accordingly, recognized a loss of $60,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.

As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the amortized cost basis, unrealized holding gains, unrealized holding losses, and aggregate fair value by long-term major security-type investments were as follows (in thousands):

 

	September 30, 2013							December 31, 2012
	Amortized Cost			Net Unrealized Holding Losses		Aggregate Fair Value		Amortized Cost			Net Unrealized Holding Losses		Aggregate Fair Value

*             Reflects amortized cost adjusted to fair value at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, as the Company concluded the unrealized holdings losses on these securities represented other-than-temporary declines in fair value.

(4) Intangible Assets

Intangible assets consisted of the following at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 (in thousands):

 

			September 30, 2013							December 31, 2012
	Average Life (Years)		Gross Intangible Assets		Accumulated Amortization			Net Intangible Assets		Gross Intangible Assets		Accumulated Amortization			Net Intangible Assets

Total Intangible assets			$	4,588	$	(4,366	)	$	222	$	5,223	$	(4,222	)	$	1,001

Aggregate amortization expense for identifiable intangible assets totaled $93,000 and $394,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively, and $309,000 and $970,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively.

The Company has determined that its investment in Pure Energy Visions is fully impaired and has written off the $456,000 remaining net book value of its technology license and distribution rights from Pure Energy.  The Company has no ability to utilize the technology related to the battery line, nor an immediate alternative manufacturing or supply capability, making it doubtful that the Company will be able to continue the product line associated with these rights.

(5) Stockholders Equity

Stock-based Compensation

Stock-based compensation expense includes compensation expense, recognized over the applicable requisite service periods, from awards of stock options and restricted stock units (“RSUs”) made under the Omnibus Long-Term Incentive Plan as adopted by the Company’s stockholders in 2004 and subsequently amended (“Omnibus Plan”). As of September 30, 2013, there was no unrecognized compensation cost related to stock options and RSUs. In connection with the tender offer by Steel Excel Inc. (“Steel”) to acquire up to 1,316,866 of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock, representing a 44.7% ownership position in the Company on a fully-diluted basis, at a price of $3.95 per share (the “Offer”), the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) approved the conditional acceleration of full vesting of outstanding stock options and RSUs upon the commencement of the Offer. Accordingly, upon the consummation of the Offer, $474,000 unrecognized compensation cost related to stock options and RSUs was recognized on August 23, 2013.

7

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company recorded pre-tax charges to general and administrative expense of $541,000 and $758,000, respectively, associated with RSU and stock option awards activity. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company recorded pre-tax charges to general and administrative expense of $343,000 and $1,199,000, respectively, associated with RSU awards activity. There was no stock option awards activity for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012.

Stock Options

Stock options awarded under the Omnibus Plan are granted with an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the Company’s stock on the date of grant and vest over a period determined by the Compensation and Human Relations Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors when the options are granted. Vesting periods generally range from one to three years. The options have a maximum term of ten years.

As of September 30, 2013, there were 45,833 fully vested stock options outstanding and exercisable and no non-vested stock options, compared to 87,500 non-vested stock options and no fully vested stock options outstanding as of December 31, 2012, as adjusted for the 1-for-12 reverse stock split effective on January 28, 2013.

 

	Number of Options		Weighted Average Exercise Price		Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Term		Aggregate Intrinsic Value(In Thousands)
Outstanding, December 31, 2012		87,500	$	9.00		9.27		-
Granted		-		-		-		-
Canceled		41,667	$	9.00		8.53		-
Exercised		-		-		-		-
Outstanding, September 30, 2013		45,833	$	9.00		8.53		-
Exercisable at September 30, 2013		45,833	$	9.00		8.53		-

As of September 30, 2013, there was no unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock options.

No stock options were exercised during the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012.

The Company did not grant any stock options during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013. The weighted average fair value of options granted in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012 was $6.12. The fair value of the stock options was determined using the Black-Scholes option valuation model, which relied on the following key assumptions with respect to the options granted during the respective periods:

 

	Three Months Ended September 30,					Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2013		2012			2013		2012
Weighted average risk-free interest rate		-		1.24	%		-		1.24	%
Expected life of the options (in years)		-		6.50			-		6.50
Expected stock price volatility		-		75.64	%		-		75.64	%
Expected dividend yield		-		-			-		-

The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected stock price volatility. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury security rate in effect as of the date of grant. The expected term of the options and stock price volatility are based on historical data of the Company.

8

Restricted Stock Units

The Company grants RSUs to certain employees and directors. RSUs are valued at the closing market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant.

The following table summarizes information regarding RSUs as of December 31, 2012 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, as adjusted for the 1-for-12 reverse stock split effective on January 28, 2013.

 

	Omnibus Plan					Inducement Grants
	Number			Weighted Average Value per Share		Number			Weighted Average Value per Share
Outstanding, December 31, 2012		30,047		$	31.01		29,163		$	21.91

 As of September 30, 2013, there was no unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested RSUs.

Preferred Stock and Dividends

On June 20, 2013, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Rights Agreement with its transfer agent, which amended and restated the Company’s previous Rights Agreement dated as of June 11, 2003, as amended, scheduled to expire on June 23, 2013. In connection with the Company’s entering into the Amended and Restated Rights Agreement, the Board declared a dividend of one preferred share purchase right (a “ Right” and collectively, the “Rights” ) for each outstanding share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company to stockholders of record at the close of business on June 30, 2013. 

The Rights granted under the Amended and Restated Rights Agreement are intended to establish a deterrent to any person acquiring 4.9% or more of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock, or any existing 4.9% or greater holder from acquiring any additional shares representing 1.0% or more of the then outstanding common stock, in each case, without the approval of the Board, in an effort to preserve the Company’s net operating losses and other similar tax attributes against potential limitations presented by stock ownership changes.

Each Right entitles the registered holder to purchase from the Company one one-thousandth of a share of Series H Junior Participating Preferred Stock (“Preferred Stock”), par value $0.01 per share, of the Company’s preferred stock at a price of $6.75 per one one-thousandth of a share. The Rights become exercisable only, however, after any person acquires, or announces intention to acquire via a tender or exchange offer, 4.9% or more of the Company's outsanding shares of common stock. Prior to such time, the Board may redeem the Rights in whole, but not in part, at a redemption price of $0.01 per Right payable in cash, shares of the Company’s common stock or another form of consideration at the option of the Company. Immediately upon the redemption of any Rights, the holder’s right to exercise such Rights will terminate and the holder will be entitled only to receive the redemption price.

Until a Right is exercised or exchanged, the holder thereof, as such, will have no additional rights as a stockholder of the Company, including, without limitation, the right to vote or to receive dividends.

9

Shares of Preferred Stock issued upon exercise of the Rights will not be redeemable. Each share of Preferred Stock will be entitled, when, as and if declared, to a minimum preferential quarterly dividend payment of the greater of (a) $10 per share, and (b) an amount equal to 1,000 times the dividend declared per share of common stock. In the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the holders of the Preferred Stock will be entitled to a minimum preferential payment of the greater of (a) $1,000 per share (plus any accrued but unpaid dividends), and (b) an amount equal to 1,000 times the payment made per share of common stock. Each share of Preferred Stock will have 1,000 votes, voting together with the common stock. Finally, in the event of any merger, consolidation or other transaction in which outstanding shares of common stock are converted or exchanged, each share of Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive 1,000 times the amount received per share of common stock. These rights are protected by customary antidilution provisions.

At September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, 15,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock were authorized. There were no shares of Preferred Stock issued and outstanding at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

(6) Net Loss per Share

The computation of basic and diluted net loss per share is as follows (in thousands, except per share amounts), as adjusted for the 1-for-12 reverse stock split effective on January 28, 2013:

 

	Three Months Ended September 30,						Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2013			2012			2013			2012
Basic net loss per share computation:
Numerator:
Net loss	$	(4,799	)	$	(1,830	)	$	(9,649	)	$	(8,147	)
Denominator:
Weighted average number of common shares outstanding		2,917			2,866			2,908			2,841
Basic net loss per share:	$	(1.65	)	$	(0.64	)	$	(3.32	)	$	(2.87	)
Stock options not included in dilutive net loss per share because they are antidilutive		46			-			46			-
Warrants not included in dilutive loss per share because they are anti-dilutive		0.4			-			0.4			-

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, all outstanding stock options and warrants were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per common share as the inclusion of such items would be anti-dilutive based on the net loss reported.

(7) Product Lines, Concentration of Credit Risk and Significant Customers

The Company is a provider of innovative accessories and power management solutions for computers and mobile electronic devices. The Company has five product lines: Power, Batteries, Audio, Protection and Other Accessories. The Company's chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) continues to evaluate revenues based on product lines and geographies. However, the CODM manages the Company’s operations as a single business segment, which consists of the development, marketing and sales of electronics accessories across all product lines.

The following tables summarize the Company’s revenues by product line, as well as its revenues by geography (in thousands):

 

	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2013		2012		2013		2012
Power	$	2,865	$	6,209	$	11,224	$	18,539
Batteries		149		645		926		1,738
Audio		339		643		1,282		2,021

Other accessories		-		227		57		532
Total revenues	$	3,429	$	7,931	$	13,718	$	23,470

Pure Energy, the Company’s sole supplier of its battery products, was placed into receivership during the second quarter of 2013. An immediate alternative supplier has not been identified, making it doubtful that the Company will be able to continue its line of battery products.

 

	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2013		2012		2013		2012
Americas	$	2,549	$	6,555	$	10,718	$	18,910
Europe		604		966		2,317		3,428
Asia Pacific		276		410		683		1,132
Total Revenues	$	3,429	$	7,931	$	13,718	$	23,470

The majority of the Company’s assets are domiciled in the United States.

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 current Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance coverage limit of $250,000. However, periodically during the year, the Company maintains cash in financial institutions in excess of the FDIC limit. 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.

One customer (Walmart) accounted for 45% of net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. Two customers (Walmart and RadioShack) accounted for 31% and 14%, respectively, of net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

Walmart also accounted for 44% of net accounts receivable at September 30, 2013. Two customers (Walmart and Fry’s Electronics) accounted for 24% and 11%, respectively, of net accounts receivable at December 31, 2012.

Allowance for doubtful accounts was $496,000 and $362,000 at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. Allowance for sales returns and price protection was $319,000 and $508,000 at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

(8) Contingencies

The Company procures its products primarily from suppliers 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 suppliers. Occasionally, the Company presents its suppliers with “Letters of Authorization’ to induce 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 September 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, but was required to pay suppliers for certain Letter of Authorization commitments. During the first quarter of 2013, the Company settled its remaining obligations related to the commitments. At September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had estimated and recorded remaining liability for this contingency in the amounts of zero and $80,000, respectively.

11

From time to time, the Company is involved in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of its business. The Company is not currently a party to any litigation for which, in the Company’s determination, an adverse outcome would have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

(9) Related Party Transactions

On October 10, 2013, the Company entered into a Management Services Agreement (the “Management Services Agreement”) with SP Corporate Services LLC (“SP Corporate”), effective as of October 1, 2013. SP Corporate is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Steel Partners Holdings L.P. (“Steel Holdings”). Steel Holdings is deemed to have shared power to vote and dispose of the securities held by the Company’s largest stockholder, Steel, which was the direct owner of 1,316,866 shares of the Company’s common stock as of October 1, 2013, representing approximately 44.7% of the Company’s outstanding shares.   

Pursuant to the Management Services Agreement, SP Corporate will provide the Company with the services of Terry R. Gibson, as the Company’s interim President, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Secretary, and certain other employees and corporate services. Mr. Gibson had previously assumed the role as a director of the Company effective August 23, 2013. 

The Management Services Agreement provides that the Company will pay SP Corporate a fixed annual fee of $372,000 for (a) the Executive Services (as defined in the Management Services Agreement), including, without limitation, services of an interim President, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Secretary of the Company and other executive services provided by SP Corporate under the Management Services Agreement, and (b) the Corporate Services (as defined in the Management Services Agreement), including, without limitation, legal, tax, accounting, treasury, consulting, auditing, administrative, compliance, environmental health and safety, human resources, marketing, investor relations and other similar services rendered for the Company or its subsidiaries.  The Company paid $31,000 to SP Corporate during the third quarter of 2013 for services received during September 2013 as provided by the Management Services Agreement.

Overview and Operating Outlook

We design and develop products that make mobile electronic devices more efficient and cost effective, thus allowing professionals and other consumers to better utilize their mobile devices and access information more readily. Our current product offering primarily consists of power, batteries, audio and protection solutions for mobile electronic devices.

We have historically generated the majority of our revenue from the sale of chargers for laptops. However, consumers are increasingly using smartphones and tablets as their primary mobile electronic devices. As a result of this shift, we have seen increased competition and a decline in demand for our power products from our traditional customer base as well as increased competition from retail customers who offer traditional power products under their own private-label brands. Although we have expanded our offering of products beyond our traditional power products to include a variety of accessories to support the increased utilization of smartphones and tablets, including audio and protection products, the revenue generated from the sales of these products has not offset the decline in revenue from historical sales of our traditional power products.

While we have taken action to reduce costs, we are assessing opportunities to implement a further-reduced cost structure while evaluating alternative business models. We are exploring opportunities that may allow us to utilize our brand to expand our higher volume products, and potential strategic alliances that could provide for expanded product lines. If those opportunities are implemented, there could be different sales models, different distribution methods and elimination of some product lines. Any such changes could impact sales volumes, inventory levels and the overall cost structure as these have historically existed.

Third quarter 2013 highlights

● Total revenue decreased by 57.0% to $3.4 million, compared to $7.9 million for the third quarter of 2012. Total revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 decreased by 41.6% to $13.7 million, compared to $23.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

● Gross margin decreased to (13.8)% as a percentage of total revenue, compared to 19.0% for the third quarter of 2012. Gross margin decreased to 4.6% as a percentage of total revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, compared to 18.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

14

● Total operating expenses increased by 33.3% to $4.4 million, compared to $3.3 million for the second quarter of 2012. Total operating expenses decreased by 10.4% to $10.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, compared to $11.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

● Net loss per share was ($1.65), compared to ($0.64) during the second quarter of 2012, as adjusted for the 1-for-12 reverse stock split effective on January 28, 2013. Net loss per share was ($3.32) during the nine months ended September 30, 2013, compared to ($2.87) for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, as adjusted for the 1-for-12 reverse stock split effective on January 28, 2013.

During the third quarter of 2013, we continued to experience the effects of market trends away from third-party branded products and toward private label products, as well as increased competition from traditional competitors with the ability to pay high slotting fees. In response, we continue pursuing actions to reduce costs while simultaneously focusing our marketing initiatives on the highest margin products and customer relationships. Unless these events and initiatives reverse current trends, of which there is no assurance, we will experience further decreases in sales and continue to incur losses from operations for the foreseeable future. 

(1) Recent Events

Tender Offer Completion

On August 23, 2013 Steel Excel Inc. (“Steel”) completed its previously announced tender offer to acquire up to 1,316,866 of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock, representing a 44.7% ownership position in the Company on a fully-diluted basis, at a price of $3.95 per share (the “Offer”).

The Offer was made pursuant to the Sale Agreement, which, together with the transactions contemplated thereby, was unanimously approved by the Board on July 1, 2013. As of the expiration of the guaranteed delivery period associated with tender offer on August 27, 2013, a total of 2,058,422 shares of the Company's common stock were validly tendered and not properly withdrawn pursuant to the tender offer, representing approximately 68.8% of the outstanding shares of the Company's common stock on a fully diluted basis as of July 11, 2013.

On August 23, 2013, Steel accepted for payment 1,316,866 shares of the Company's common stock that were validly tendered and not properly withdrawn pursuant to the tender offer. Because the tender offer was oversubscribed, the number of shares of the Company's common stock that Steel accepted for purchase from each of the tendering stockholders was prorated. The final proration factor was approximately 63.97% of the tendered shares.

Payment for shares of the Company's common stock accepted for payment by Steel, based on the final proration factor and any adjustments to avoid purchases of fractional shares of the Company's common stock, was made promptly in accordance with the terms of the tender offer. All shares of the Company's common stock tendered but not accepted for payment in the tender offer were returned to the tendering stockholders.

In accordance with the Sale Agreement, as of the closing of the Offer, two designees of Steel became directors of the Company, replacing Michael D. Heil and Frederic Welts, whose resignations from the Board of Directors of the Company (the “ Board”) became effective immediately after the consummation of the Offer. At the time of his resignation, Mr. Welts served as a member of the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee, the Audit Committee, and the Compensation and Human Resources Committee of the Board. Mr. Heil did not serve on any of the Board’s committees. Neither of the resigning directors was removed from the Board due to disagreements with the Company on any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies or practices.

As of August 23, 2013, Jack L. Howard and Terry R. Gibson each assumed the role of director of the Company. Mr. Howard is the Vice Chairman, principal executive officer, and Director of Steel. Mr. Gibson has been appointed as interim President, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and Secretary of the Company. Leonard J. McGill, Vice President and General Counsel of Steel, has been appointed General Counsel of the Company.

Pure Energy Receivership

On July 11, 2013, we reported on Form 8-K that Pure Energy Solutions, the Company’s main supplier of rechargeable alkaline batteries, had been placed into receivership, causing a delay in shipments of the Company’s then existing orders. As of November 12, 2013, Pure Energy remains in receivership and the shipments continue to be delayed as no replacement supplier has been identified As a result, and after further analysis, the Company determined that its investment in Pure Energy Visions (which holds Pure Energy as a subsidiary) was fully impaired and, during the second quarter of 2013, wrote off the remaining value of its investment in Pure Energy Visions, along with the net book value of its technology license and distribution rights from Pure Energy, which were recorded at approximately $60,000 and $456,000, respectively, on the Company’s balance sheet. Due in part to the receivership matter, revenue from the sale of Pure Energy Products during the third quarter compared to the second quarter of 2013, continued to decline by approximately $193,000, representing a 56.4% decrease. The Company expects further sales declines as it sells through its existing inventory.

NASDAQ Notices

On September 27, 2013, iGo, Inc. (the “Company”) received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of The NASDAQ OMX Group ("NASDAQ") notifying the Company that it was not in compliance with the majority independent director requirement as set forth in Listing Rule 5605(b)(1) and the audit committee requirement as set forth in Listing Rule 5605(c)(2). In addition, on September 30, 2013, the Company received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of NASDAQ reminding the Company of the requirement to hold an annual meeting of shareholders no later than December 31, 2013.

In light of these developments, the Board of Directors of the Company is evaluating alternatives and the cost effectiveness of the Company’s continued listing on NASDAQ.

The decrease in revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2012 was primarily due to declines in sales volume of power products to Radio Shack and Hudson Group, combined with a decline in the average selling price for power products to Walmart. The decline in sales to all other customers is primarily attributable to lower sales of power products in North American markets, as well as a $304,000 decrease in the sale of audio products to $339,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2013, compared to $643,000 for the 3 months ended September 30, 2012, and a $496,000 decrease in sales of batteries to 149,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2013, compared to $645,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2012.

17

The decrease in revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was primarily due to declines in sales volume of power products to Radio Shack, Hudson Group, and InMotion Pictures, combined with a decline in average selling price for power products to Walmart, partially offset by an increase in sales volume of power products to Aquipa, and Micro-P.  The decline in sales to all other customers is primarily attributable to lower sales of power products in North American markets, as well as a $739,000 decrease in the sale of audio products to $1,282,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, compared to $2,021,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, and a $812,000 decrease in sales of batteries to $926,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, compared to $1,738,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

Cost of revenue, gross profit and gross margin.

Cost of revenue generally consists of costs associated with components, outsourced manufacturing, in-house labor for assembly, testing, packaging, shipping and quality assurance, depreciation of equipment and indirect manufacturing costs. Gross profit is the difference between revenue and cost of revenue. Gross margin is gross profit stated as a percentage of revenue. The following table summarizes the year-over-year comparison of our cost of revenue, gross profit and gross margin for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 (in thousands, except percentages):

 

	Three months Ended September 30, 2013			Three months Ended September 30, 2012			Decrease from same period in prior year			Percentage change from same period in prior year
Cost of Revenue	$	3,903		$	6,424		$	(2,521	)		(39.2	)%
Gross Profit	$	(474	)	$	1,507		$	(1,981	)		(131.5	)%
Gross Margin		(13.8	)%		19.0	%		(32.8	)%	NA

	Nine Months Ended September 30, 2013			Nine Months Ended September 30, 2012			Decrease from same period in prior year			Percentage change from same period in prior year
Cost of Revenue	$	13,084		$	19,081		$	(5,997	)		(31.4	)%
Gross Profit	$	634		$	4,389		$	(3,755	)		(85.6	)%
Gross Margin		4.6	%		18.7	%		(14.1	)%	NA

The decrease in cost of revenue and gross profit for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the same periods in 2012 was primarily due to the decline in overall sales, shift in product mix, increased inventory writedowns, and decline in average selling prices to Walmart and other customers. Labor and overhead expenses were unchanged at $1.2 million, or 35.0% of revenue, for the three months ended September 30, 2013, compared to 15.7% of revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2012, and decreased by $773,000 to $3.2 million, or 23.3% of revenue, for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to $4.0 million or 17.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. Cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue increased to 113.8% for the three months ended September 30, 2013, from 81.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2012, and increased to 95.4% from 81.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, primarily due to increased warranty charges, increased inventory write-downs, fixed labor and overhead costs being spread over reduced revenue, and a shift to lower margin customers.

18

Sales and marketing.

Sales and marketing expenses generally consist of salaries, commissions, 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 three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 (dollars in thousands):

 

	Three months Ended September 30, 2013		Three months Ended September 30, 2012		Decrease from same period in prior year			Percentage change from same period in prior year
Sales and marketing	$	657	$	1,123	$	(466	)		(41.5	)%

	Nine Months Ended September 30, 2013		Nine Months Ended September 30, 2012		Decrease from same period in prior year			Percentage change from same period in prior year
Sales and marketing	$	2,392	$	4,242	$	(1,850	)		(43.6	)%

The decrease in sales and marketing expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2013, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2012, primarily resulted from decreases of approximately $359,000 in personnel-related expenses (mainly from reductions in labor force), $45,000 in advertising, market research and public relations, and $60,000 in outside commissions and professional fees.

The decrease in sales and marketing expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2012, primarily resulted from decreases of approximately $1,247,000 in personnel-related expenses (mainly from reductions in labor force), $384,000 in advertising, market research, public relations and website development expenses, $135,000 in outside commissions and professional fees, $21,000 in depreciation expense and $22,000 in freight.

As a percentage of revenue, sales and marketing expenses increased to 19.2% and for the three months ended September 30, 2013 from 14.2% for the three months ended September 30, 2012, and decreased to 17.5% for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 from 18.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

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 following table summarizes the year-over-year comparison of our research and development expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 (dollars in thousands):                    

 

	Three months Ended September 30, 2013		Three months Ended September 30, 2012		Increase from same period in prior year		Percentage change from same period in  prior year
Research and development	$	511	$	484	$	27		5.6	%

	Nine Months Ended September 30, 2013		Nine Months Ended September 30, 2012		Decrease from same period in prior year			Percentage change from same period in prior year
Research and development	$	1,142	$	1,760	$	(618	)		(35.1	)%

The increase in research and development expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2012 resulted primarily from increases of approximately $111,000 in personnel-related costs (mainly from approximately $290,000 in severance expenses due to the change in control, partially offset by reductions in labor force). Research and development decreases of $9,000 in engineering consulting expenses, $36,000 in market research, $24,000 in professional fees, and $13,000 in building rent and maintenance, partially offset the overall increase.

The decrease in research and development expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2012 resulted primarily from decreases of approximately $139,000 in personnel-related costs (mainly from reductions in labor force, partially offset by approximately $290,000 in severance expenses due to the change in control), $231,000 in engineering consulting expenses, $118,000 in market research, $89,000 in professional fees, and $32,000 in building rent and maintenance.

19

As a percentage of revenue, research and development expenses increased to 14.9% and 8.3% for the three and nine month-periods ended September 30, 2013 from 6.1% and 7.5% for the three and nine month-periods ended September 30, 2012.

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 three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 (dollars in thousands):

 

	Three months Ended September 30, 2013		Three months Ended September 30, 2012		Increase from same period in prior year		Percentage change from same period in prior year
General and administrative	$	3,204	$	1,684	$	1,520		90.3	%

	Nine Months Ended September 30, 2013		Nine Months Ended September 30, 2012		Increase from same period in  prior year		Percentage change from same period in prior year
General and administrative	$	6,312	$	5,485	$	827		15.1	%

The increase in general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2012 resulted primarily from increases of $772,000 in personnel-related expenses (mainly from approximately $883,000 in severance expenses due to a change in control, partially offset by reductions in labor force), $822,000 in professional fees, 198,000 in equity compensation, $170,000 in directors and officers runoff insurance, partially offset by decreases of $216,000 in intangible asset amortization expense, $140,000 in bad debt expense, $27,000 in building maintenance, and $21,000 in shareholder services.

The increase in general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2012 resulted primarily from increases of $407,000 in personnel-related expenses (mainly from approximately $883,000 in severance expenses due to a change in control, partially offset by reductions in labor force), $1,404,000 in professional fees, $170,000 in directors and officers runoff insurance, partially offset by $576,000 in intangible asset amortization expense, $440,000 in equity compensation, $57,000 in bank fees and customer discounts, $57,000 in building maintenance, and $30,000 in dues and subscriptions.

As a percentage of revenue, general and administrative expenses increased to 93.4% and 46.0% for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013 from 21.2% and 23.4% for the three and nine month-periods ended September 30, 2012.

 Asset impairment. 

Asset impairment expense consists of expenses associated with impairment write-downs of amortizable intangible assets. In conjunction with the Company’s long term investment impairment, we determined a triggering event had occurred during the second quarter of 2013 that caused us to evaluate the intangible assets related to Pure Energy for impairment, specifically the distribution rights and technology license. Based on the receivership of Pure Energy and the resulting delay of shipments, as discussed under “Recent Events—Pure Energy Receivership” above, we determined the amortizable intangible assets with a remaining book value of $456,000 were fully impaired. A total asset impairment charge of $456,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, related to the amortizable intangible assets, was recorded during the second quarter of 2013.

Interest income, net.

Interest income, net decreased by $2,000 to $1,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to $3,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2012, and decreased by $5,000 to $5,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to $10,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The decrease was primarily due to decreased short-term investment balances during 2013. At September 30, 2013, the average yield on our cash and short-term investments was approximately 0%.

20

Other income (expense), net.

Other income (expense), net was $46,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2013, primarily due foreign exchange gains. Other income (expense), net was ($49,000) for the three months ended September 30, 2012 primarily due to foreign exchange losses of ($17,000) and the recognition of other-than-temporary impairment charges related to long-term investment securities of ($33,000).

Other income (expense), net was $14,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, primarily due to a $200,000 reimbursement from Texas Instruments following the termination of its contract to create an integrated circuit based on iGo Green technology, partially offset by ($125,000) foreign exchange losses and the recognition of ($60,000) other-than-temporary impairment charges related to long-term investment securities. Other income (expense), net was ($1,059,000) for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 primarily due to the recognition of other-than-temporary impairment charges related to long-term investment securities.

Income taxes.

No provision for income taxes was required for the respective three and six month-periods ended September 30, 2013 or 2012. Based on historical operating losses and projections for future taxable income, it is more likely than not that we will not fully realize the benefits of our net operating loss carryforwards. We have not, therefore, recorded a tax benefit from our net operating loss carryforwards for the three months ended September 30, 2013 or September 30, 2012. Our net operating loss carryforwards at September 30, 2013 totaled approximately $180 million.

(3) 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 in the United Kingdom. Our intent is that the cash balances in the United Kingdom remain there for future growth and investments, and that we will meet liquidity requirements in the United States through ongoing cash flows, cash on hand, external financing or a combination of these. We actively monitor the third-party depository institutions that hold our cash and cash equivalents. Our emphasis is primarily on safety of principal, with a secondary goal of maximizing yield on principal. 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 or liquidity requirements to fund our operations.

At any point in time we have funds in our operating accounts that are with third-party financial institutions. These balances in the U.S. may exceed 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 operating losses, acquisitions and working capital needs of our business, which we expect to continue. Some of our new suppliers of batteries, protection and audio products have been unwilling to extend trade credit to us on the same terms and conditions as our power product suppliers have historically done. As a result, we are required to pay for purchases of these products in advance of the related sale of these products, which has increased our use of cash to support the working capital required to effectively operate our business. Historically, our primary sources of liquidity have been funds provided by the sale of intellectual property assets and excess inventory. We cannot assure you that this source, or any other source of liquidity, will be available to us in the future.

We currently do not maintain a credit facility with a bank. However, we may attempt to gain access to this source of financing at some point in the future.

21

The following table sets forth for the period presented certain consolidated cash flow information (in thousands):

 

	Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2013			2012
Net cash used in operating activities	$	(1,078	)	$	(3,312	)
Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities		(71	)		2,513
Net cash provided by financing activities		-			-
Foreign currency exchange impact on cash flow		128			(224	)
Decrease in cash and cash equivalents	$	(1,021	)	$	(1,023	)
Cash and cash equivalents at beginning of period	$	8,229		$	10,290
Cash and cash equivalents at end of period	$	7,208		$	9,267

● Net cash used in operating activities. Net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 resulted primarily from payments relating to the Sale Agreement of approximately $2.0 million, and cash used to fund operating losses, partially offset by a decrease in inventory levels of $5.0 million. We expect to incur a net use of cash in operating activities through the remainder of 2013 to support business operations.

Our consolidated cash flow operating metrics are as follows:

 

	Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2013		2012
Days outstanding in ending accounts receivable (“DSOs”)		53		49
Inventory turns		3		2

The increase in DSOs at September 30, 2013 compared to September 30, 2012 was primarily due to the decrease in revenue, partially offset by the decline in accounts receivable for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2012. We expect DSOs will be consistent for the remainder of 2013. The increase in inventory turnover was primarily due to the reduction in average inventory. We intend to continue to closely manage inventory during the remainder of 2013 and expect inventory turns to remain consistent for the remainder of 2013.

● Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, net cash was used in investing activities primarily as a result of a purchase of intangibles. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, net cash was generated by investing activities primarily as a result of the sale of short-term investments.

● Net cash provided by financing activities. We had no cash flow from financing activities during the first nine months of 2013 or 2012.

Investments. 

At September 30, 2013, our short-term investments in marketable securities included one municipal bond mutual fund with a total fair value of approximately $2.1 million. Our long-term investments consisted of 2,142,858 shares of Pure Energy Visions common stock plus an interest-free convertible secured debenture having a one-year repayment term that converts into an additional 2,142,858 shares of Pure Energy Visions common stock in lieu of repayment either upon the achievement of certain business goals or earlier at our discretion. The debenture was not collected within the one-year repayment term and the Company maintains its rights and remedies under the debenture, though it has determined the value of the debenture to be fully impaired, as discussed elsewhere herein. At September 30, 2013, the Company’s investment in Pure Energy Visions had a fair value of zero.

22

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 FASB’s fair value hierarchy, with unrealized gains and losses reported in equity as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).

Contractual Obligations. 

In our day-to-day business activities, we incur certain commitments to make future payments under contracts such as operating leases and purchase orders. Maturities under these contracts are set forth in the following table as of September 30, 2013 (in thousands):

 

	2013		2014		2015		2016		2017		More than 5  years
Operating lease obligations	$	116	$	83	$	-	$	-	$	-	$	-
Inventory purchase obligations		1,203		-		-		-		-		-
Totals	$	1,319	$	83	$	-	$	-	$	-	$	-

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements. 

We have no off-balance sheet financing arrangements.

Net Operating Loss Carryforwards.

As of September 30, 2013, we had approximately $180 million of federal, foreign and state net operating loss carryforwards which expire at various dates. The issuance of our common stock in the future for acquisitions, if any, coupled with prior sales of common stock could cause an annual limitation on the use of our net operating loss carryforwards pursuant to the change in ownership provisions of Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Such limitation could be expected to have a material effect on the timing of our ability to use the net operating loss carryforwards in the future. Additionally, our ability to use the net operating loss carryforwards is dependent upon our future level of profitability, which cannot be determined.

Liquidity Outlook.

Based on our projections, we believe that our existing cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments 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 support changes in our business model at any time in the future, we may seek to obtain debt financing or sell additional equity securities, though any such additional capital resources may not be available to us in amounts or on terms that are acceptable to us.

(4) Recent Accounting Pronouncements

See Note 1 to our condensed consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 above for a summary of recently issued accounting pronouncements.

ITEM 3.   QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are exposed to certain market risks in the ordinary course of our business. These risks result primarily from changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. In addition, our international operations are subject to risks related to differing economic conditions, changes in political climate, differing tax structures and other regulations and restrictions.

To date we have not utilized derivative financial instruments or derivative commodity instruments. We do not expect to employ these or other strategies to hedge market risk in the foreseeable future. We invest our cash in money market funds, which are subject to minimal credit and market risk. We believe that the market risks associated with these financial instruments are immaterial.

23

See “Liquidity and Capital Resources” above for further discussion of our capital structure. Market risk, calculated as the potential change in fair value of our cash and cash equivalents and resulting from a hypothetical 1.0% (100 basis point) change in interest rates, was not material at September 30, 2013.

ITEM 4.   CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures 

We maintain disclosure controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our filings with the SEC is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure based on the definition of “disclosure controls and procedures” in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act. With the participation of the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2013, and concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2013 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Disclosure of Compensation Related Costs, Share-based Payments [Text Block]

(5) Stockholders Equity

Stock-based Compensation

Stock-based compensation expense includes compensation expense, recognized over the applicable requisite service periods, from awards of stock options and restricted stock units (“RSUs”) made under the Omnibus Long-Term Incentive Plan as adopted by the Company’s stockholders in 2004 and subsequently amended (“Omnibus Plan”). As of September 30, 2013, there was no unrecognized compensation cost related to stock options and RSUs. In connection with the tender offer by Steel Excel Inc. (“Steel”) to acquire up to 1,316,866 of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock, representing a 44.7% ownership position in the Company on a fully-diluted basis, at a price of $3.95 per share (the “Offer”), the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) approved the conditional acceleration of full vesting of outstanding stock options and RSUs upon the commencement of the Offer. Accordingly, upon the consummation of the Offer, $474,000 unrecognized compensation cost related to stock options and RSUs was recognized on August 23, 2013.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company recorded pre-tax charges to general and administrative expense of $541,000 and $758,000, respectively, associated with RSU and stock option awards activity. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company recorded pre-tax charges to general and administrative expense of $343,000 and $1,199,000, respectively, associated with RSU awards activity. There was no stock option awards activity for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012.

Stock Options

Stock options awarded under the Omnibus Plan are granted with an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the Company’s stock on the date of grant and vest over a period determined by the Compensation and Human Relations Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors when the options are granted. Vesting periods generally range from one to three years. The options have a maximum term of ten years.

As of September 30, 2013, there were 45,833 fully vested stock options outstanding and exercisable and no non-vested stock options, compared to 87,500 non-vested stock options and no fully vested stock options outstanding as of December 31, 2012, as adjusted for the 1-for-12 reverse stock split effective on January 28, 2013.

	Number of Options		Weighted Average Exercise Price		Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Term		Aggregate Intrinsic Value(In Thousands)
Outstanding, December 31, 2012		87,500	$	9.00		9.27		-
Granted		-		-		-		-
Canceled		41,667	$	9.00		8.53		-

Outstanding, September 30, 2013		45,833	$	9.00		8.53		-
Exercisable at September 30, 2013		45,833	$	9.00		8.53		-

As of September 30, 2013, there was no unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock options.

No stock options were exercised during the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012.

The Company did not grant any stock options during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013. The weighted average fair value of options granted in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012 was $6.12. The fair value of the stock options was determined using the Black-Scholes option valuation model, which relied on the following key assumptions with respect to the options granted during the respective periods:

	Three Months Ended September 30,					Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2013		2012			2013		2012
Weighted average risk-free interest rate		-		1.24	%		-		1.24	%
Expected life of the options (in years)		-		6.50			-		6.50
Expected stock price volatility		-		75.64	%		-		75.64	%
Expected dividend yield		-		-			-		-

The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected stock price volatility. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury security rate in effect as of the date of grant. The expected term of the options and stock price volatility are based on historical data of the Company.

Restricted Stock Units

The Company grants RSUs to certain employees and directors. RSUs are valued at the closing market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant.

The following table summarizes information regarding RSUs as of December 31, 2012 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, as adjusted for the 1-for-12 reverse stock split effective on January 28, 2013.

	Omnibus Plan					Inducement Grants
	Number			Weighted Average Value per Share		Number			Weighted Average Value per Share
Outstanding, December 31, 2012		30,047		$	31.01		29,163		$	21.91

 As of September 30, 2013, there was no unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested RSUs.

Preferred Stock and Dividends

On June 20, 2013, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Rights Agreement with its transfer agent, which amended and restated the Company’s previous Rights Agreement dated as of June 11, 2003, as amended, scheduled to expire on June 23, 2013. In connection with the Company’s entering into the Amended and Restated Rights Agreement, the Board declared a dividend of one preferred share purchase right (a “ Right” and collectively, the “Rights” ) for each outstanding share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company to stockholders of record at the close of business on June 30, 2013. 

The Rights granted under the Amended and Restated Rights Agreement are intended to establish a deterrent to any person acquiring 4.9% or more of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock, or any existing 4.9% or greater holder from acquiring any additional shares representing 1.0% or more of the then outstanding common stock, in each case, without the approval of the Board, in an effort to preserve the Company’s net operating losses and other similar tax attributes against potential limitations presented by stock ownership changes.

Each Right entitles the registered holder to purchase from the Company one one-thousandth of a share of Series H Junior Participating Preferred Stock (“Preferred Stock”), par value $0.01 per share, of the Company’s preferred stock at a price of $6.75 per one one-thousandth of a share. The Rights become exercisable only, however, after any person acquires, or announces intention to acquire via a tender or exchange offer, 4.9% or more of the Company's outsanding shares of common stock. Prior to such time, the Board may redeem the Rights in whole, but not in part, at a redemption price of $0.01 per Right payable in cash, shares of the Company’s common stock or another form of consideration at the option of the Company. Immediately upon the redemption of any Rights, the holder’s right to exercise such Rights will terminate and the holder will be entitled only to receive the redemption price.

Until a Right is exercised or exchanged, the holder thereof, as such, will have no additional rights as a stockholder of the Company, including, without limitation, the right to vote or to receive dividends.

Shares of Preferred Stock issued upon exercise of the Rights will not be redeemable. Each share of Preferred Stock will be entitled, when, as and if declared, to a minimum preferential quarterly dividend payment of the greater of (a) $10 per share, and (b) an amount equal to 1,000 times the dividend declared per share of common stock. In the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the holders of the Preferred Stock will be entitled to a minimum preferential payment of the greater of (a) $1,000 per share (plus any accrued but unpaid dividends), and (b) an amount equal to 1,000 times the payment made per share of common stock. Each share of Preferred Stock will have 1,000 votes, voting together with the common stock. Finally, in the event of any merger, consolidation or other transaction in which outstanding shares of common stock are converted or exchanged, each share of Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive 1,000 times the amount received per share of common stock. These rights are protected by customary antidilution provisions.

At September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, 15,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock were authorized. There were no shares of Preferred Stock issued and outstanding at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

(1) Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of iGo, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Mobility California, Inc., Mobility Idaho, Inc., iGo EMEA Limited, Mobility Texas, Inc., iGo Direct Corporation, Adapt Mobile Limited (“Adapt”) and Aerial7 Industries, Inc. (“Aerial7”) (collectively, “iGo” or the “Company”). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, pursuant to rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include normal recurring adjustments that are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. Certain information and footnote disclosures have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC. The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full fiscal year or any other period.

The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles 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 debt expense, sales returns and price protection, inventories, warranty obligations, impairment of long-lived assets and investments, 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.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2012, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2012-02, “Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment” (“ASU No. 2012-02”), which allows entities to use a qualitative approach to test indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment. ASU No. 2012-02 permits an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying value. If it is concluded that this is the case, it is necessary to perform the currently prescribed quantitative impairment test. Otherwise, the quantitative impairment test is not required. ASU No. 2012-02 is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. We adopted this guidance in the first interim period for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2013.

In February 2013, the FASB issued guidance that requires entities to present information about reclassification adjustments from accumulated other comprehensive income in their financial statements or footnotes. This guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2012. We adopted this guidance in the first interim period for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2013.

Short-term

The Company has determined that all of its investments in short-term marketable securities should be classified as available-for-sale and reported at fair value.

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 generated net proceeds of zero and $2,779,000 from the sale of short-term available-for-sale marketable securities during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and September 30, 2012, respectively.

As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the amortized cost basis, unrealized holding gains, unrealized holding losses, and aggregate fair value of the Company’s investments in short-term marketable securities were as follows (in thousands):

	September 30, 2013						December 31, 2012
	Amortized Cost		Net Unrealized Holding Gains (Losses)		Aggregate Fair Value		Amortized Cost		Net Unrealized Holding Gains (Losses)		Aggregate Fair Value

Long-term

In June 2011, the Company made an investment in Pure Energy Visions Corporation (“Pure Energy Visions”), which is a stockholder in Pure Energy Solutions, Inc. (“Pure Energy”), the Company's supplier of rechargeable batteries, in which the Company received 2,142,858 shares of common stock of Pure Energy Visions at a price per share equal to $0.286, and an interest-free convertible secured debenture having a one-year repayment term that converts into an additional 2,142,858 shares of Pure Energy Visions common stock in lieu of repayment either upon the achievement of certain business goals or earlier at iGo's discretion. The debenture was not collected within the one-year repayment term and the Company maintains its rights and remedies under the debenture, though it has determined the value of the debenture to be fully impaired, as discussed below. The Company did not obtain control of Pure Energy Visions as a result of this investment.

The Company assesses its long-term investments for other-than-temporary declines in value by considering various factors that include, among other things, 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. At December 31, 2012, the Company’s investment in Pure Energy Visions had a fair value significantly below its amortized cost and during the second quarter of 2013 Pure Energy was placed into receivership. Due to the duration the security had been in a loss position and the probability that its value would not be recovered, the Company considered its investment in Pure Energy Visions to be fully impaired and accordingly, recognized a loss of $60,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.

As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the amortized cost basis, unrealized holding gains, unrealized holding losses, and aggregate fair value by long-term major security-type investments were as follows (in thousands):

Aggregate amortization expense for identifiable intangible assets totaled $93,000 and $394,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively, and $309,000 and $970,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively.

The Company has determined that its investment in Pure Energy Visions is fully impaired and has written off the $456,000 remaining net book value of its technology license and distribution rights from Pure Energy.  The Company has no ability to utilize the technology related to the battery line, nor an immediate alternative manufacturing or supply capability, making it doubtful that the Company will be able to continue the product line associated with these rights.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Text Block]

(8) Contingencies

The Company procures its products primarily from suppliers 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 suppliers. Occasionally, the Company presents its suppliers with “Letters of Authorization’ to induce 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 September 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, but was required to pay suppliers for certain Letter of Authorization commitments. During the first quarter of 2013, the Company settled its remaining obligations related to the commitments. At September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had estimated and recorded remaining liability for this contingency in the amounts of zero and $80,000, respectively.

From time to time, the Company is involved in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of its business. The Company is not currently a party to any litigation for which, in the Company’s determination, an adverse outcome would have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

The Company is a provider of innovative accessories and power management solutions for computers and mobile electronic devices. The Company has five product lines: Power, Batteries, Audio, Protection and Other Accessories. The Company's chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) continues to evaluate revenues based on product lines and geographies. However, the CODM manages the Company’s operations as a single business segment, which consists of the development, marketing and sales of electronics accessories across all product lines.

The following tables summarize the Company’s revenues by product line, as well as its revenues by geography (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2013		2012		2013		2012

Total revenues	$	3,429	$	7,931	$	13,718	$	23,470

Pure Energy, the Company’s sole supplier of its battery products, was placed into receivership during the second quarter of 2013. An immediate alternative supplier has not been identified, making it doubtful that the Company will be able to continue its line of battery products.

	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2013		2012		2013		2012

Asia Pacific		276		410		683		1,132
Total Revenues	$	3,429	$	7,931	$	13,718	$	23,470

The majority of the Company’s assets are domiciled in the United States.

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 current Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance coverage limit of $250,000. However, periodically during the year, the Company maintains cash in financial institutions in excess of the FDIC limit. 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.

One customer (Walmart) accounted for 45% of net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. Two customers (Walmart and RadioShack) accounted for 31% and 14%, respectively, of net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

Walmart also accounted for 44% of net accounts receivable at September 30, 2013. Two customers (Walmart and Fry’s Electronics) accounted for 24% and 11%, respectively, of net accounts receivable at December 31, 2012.

Allowance for doubtful accounts was $496,000 and $362,000 at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. Allowance for sales returns and price protection was $319,000 and $508,000 at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

(2) Fair Value Measurement

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., the “exit price”) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. We classify our investments based upon an established fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described as follows:

Level 1 Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;

Level 2 Quoted prices in markets that are not considered to be active or financial instruments without quoted market prices, but for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly;

Level 3 Prices or valuations that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.

A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the carrying value of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate fair values since they are short-term in nature. 

As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the fair values of the Company’s investments and net intangible assets were as follows (in thousands):

At September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, investments in U.S. municipal bond funds, totaling approximately $2,138,000 and $2,129,000, respectively, are classified as short-term investments on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. These investments are considered available-for-sale securities and are reported at fair value based on the net asset value as reported by the fund manager, which qualifies as level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

At September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, investments in marketable securities totaling zero and $60,000 are classified as long-term investments on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. In December 2012, the securities, classified as long-term investments, ceased trading in an active market. These investments are considered available-for-sale securities and are reported at fair value based on the most recent available trading price adjusted for lack of liquidity, which qualifies as level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. Prior to December 2012, they qualified as level 1. The unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities are recorded in other comprehensive loss. Realized gains and losses are included in interest income, net.

During the second quarter of 2013, the Company determined that the remaining net book value of its technology license and distribution rights from Pure Energy was fully impaired. The Company has no ability to utilize the technology related to the battery line, nor an immediate alternative manufacturing or supply capability, making it doubtful that the Company will be able to continue the product line associated with these rights.

New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2012, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2012-02, “Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment” (“ASU No. 2012-02”), which allows entities to use a qualitative approach to test indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment. ASU No. 2012-02 permits an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying value. If it is concluded that this is the case, it is necessary to perform the currently prescribed quantitative impairment test. Otherwise, the quantitative impairment test is not required. ASU No. 2012-02 is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. We adopted this guidance in the first interim period for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2013.

In February 2013, the FASB issued guidance that requires entities to present information about reclassification adjustments from accumulated other comprehensive income in their financial statements or footnotes. This guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2012. We adopted this guidance in the first interim period for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2013.

Fair Value Measurement, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., the “exit price”) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. We classify our investments based upon an established fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described as follows:

Level 1 Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;

Level 2 Quoted prices in markets that are not considered to be active or financial instruments without quoted market prices, but for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly;

Level 3 Prices or valuations that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.

A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the carrying value of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate fair values since they are short-term in nature. 

As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the fair values of the Company’s investments and net intangible assets were as follows (in thousands):
