Family of ZAGG Branded Products

ZAGG invisibleSHIELD Products

The invisibleSHIELD, is made from a protective film covering that was developed originally to protect the leading edges of rotary blades of military helicopters. We determined that a variation of this film product could be configured to fit onto the surface of electronic devices and marketed to consumers for use in protecting such devices from every day wear and tear, including scratches, scrapes, debris and other surface blemishes. The film also permits touch sensitivity, meaning it can be used on devices that have a touch-screen interface. The invisibleSHIELD film material is highly reliable and durable because it was originally developed for use in a high friction, high velocity context within the military aerospace industry. The film provides long lasting protection for the surface of electronic devices subject to normal wear and tear. The film has a polyurethane base with properties that has enabled us to develop a very thin, pliable, flexible, and durable clear plastic that adheres to the surface and shape of the object it is applied to.

1

The invisibleSHIELD is designed specifically for iPhones®, iPads®, iPods®, smartphones, cell phones, tablets, MP3 players, laptops, digital cameras, watch faces, GPS systems, gaming devices, and other mobile devices.  The product is “cut” to fit specific devices and packaged together with a moisture activating solution which makes the invisibleSHIELD adhere to the surface of the device, literally “like a second skin,” and virtually invisible to the eye.  The patented invisibleSHIELD was the first scratch protection solution of its kind on the market.  The invisibleSHIELD is not ornamental, but rather provides a long lasting barrier to preserve the brand new look of the surface of an electronic device.

In early 2010, we introduced the invisibleSHIELD DRY through retail partners, which is a protective film made from the same material as the original invisibleSHIELD, and engineered to be clearer, smoother to the touch, and applied without the need of the moisture activating solution.  In the beginning of 2011, we added the invisibleSHIELD Smudge-Proof to our line, which also incorporates the invisibleSHIELD film with added features that eliminate smudges, fingerprints, and glare from the device display.

In January 2012, we introduced the invisibleSHIELD HD, a new premium version of the invisibleSHIELD that offers industry-leading clarity and finish. In June 2012, we introduced ZAGGprivacy, a protective film that provides visual data security for handheld electronics. In September 2012, the Company introduced a new version of the invisibleSHIELD line, the invisibleSHIELD EXTREME. The invisibleSHIELD EXTREME differs from other products in the invisibleSHIELD portfolio by offering advanced shock absorption and superior break protection. By installing the EXTREME on a compatible mobile device, consumers can worry less about broken screens as a result of dropping their smartphone, tablet, or other device.

Currently, ZAGG offers over 5,900 precision, pre-cut invisibleSHIELD designs with a lifetime replacement warranty through online channels, big-box retailers, electronics specialty stores, resellers, college bookstores, independent Mac stores, and mall kiosks.  We plan to continue to innovate and expand the array of invisibleSHIELD products in future periods.

ZAGGaudio

The ZAGGaudio brand of electronics accessories and products were first released in late 2008, and continue to focus on innovation and superior value.  The flagship product within ZAGGaudio is the award winning ZAGGsmartbuds™ line, which includes ZAGGaquabuds, a water-resistant earbud introduced in late 2010.  A previous winner of the CES Design and Innovation award, the ZAGGsmartbuds line has been well received by professional reviewers, experts, and the consumer base.

On January 12, 2010, we were awarded patent number US D 607,875 by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, covering design elements of ZAGGsmartbuds in-ear headphones.

ZAGGskins

ZAGGskins were introduced in November 2009, and combine customizable, high-resolution images with the scratch protection of ZAGG’s invisibleSHIELD.  To create a ZAGGskin, consumers select from a library of professional designs or upload their own high-resolution personal photos or images.  The printed image, custom designed for their device, is then merged with the exclusive, ultra-tough, patented invisibleSHIELD film, which allows customers to both protect and individualize their gadgets with a single product.

We also introduced ZAGG LEATHERskins in early 2010.  ZAGG LEATHERskins are thin, pliable cases that apply directly to personal electronics like a film, and are created from genuine leather.  Available in typical leather shades and premium animal patterns, ZAGG LEATHERskins use an adhesive that holds the skin firmly in place on the device, but can be removed if necessary.

Later in 2010, we broadened the line to include ZAGG sportLEATHER, which are also created from genuine leather and feature authentic recreations of baseball, football and basketball textures.  ZAGG LEATHERskins and sportLEATHERS are available for the most popular personal electronics.

ZAGG Power Products

In early 2009, we introduced the original ZAGGsparq, a small, powerful, portable battery that can recharge a power-hungry smartphone up to four times before the ZAGGsparq itself needs to be recharged.  Featuring a 6000ma lithium polymer cell, the ZAGGsparq plugs into a wall outlet and provides two USB ports for charging mobile devices.  An adapter is also included that fits many international standards.  The ZAGGsparq is compatible with any USB-charged device, including smartphones, tablets, handheld gaming systems, and digital cameras.

2

In September 2012, the Company released a complete lineup of ZAGGsparq products to provide reliable power solutions for jetsetters, students, professionals and other consumers who are always on the go. Available in three size and charging options, the new family includes the ZAGGsparq 1220, ZAGGsparq 3100, and ZAGGsparq 6000. ZAGGsparq portable batteries will charge any device that utilizes a USB, including smartphones, tablets, handheld gaming systems, and digital cameras. Different from other portable batteries on the market, the ZAGGsparq family has been constructed with built-in prongs that allow the device to double as a wall charger, eliminating the need for an extra power adapter. All three new models contain Lithium Polymer batteries and are made out of polycarbonate to protect the device from wear and tear. In addition, the ZAGGsparq 3100 and 6000 feature the company's Hypercharge Technology™, a proprietary technology that enables a mobile device to receive a full charge up to four times faster than when utilizing a standard USB charger.

ZAGG Keyboard Products

We introduced the ZAGGmate in November 2010.  The ZAGGmate, made from aircraft-grade aluminum, is a protective and functional companion to the Apple iPad, iPad 2, iPad 3, and iPad 4, which accentuates both the appearance and utility of Apple's innovative devices. The ZAGGmate line features two models, one with a simple, innovative stand and built-in wireless Bluetooth® keyboard that allows for fast, responsive typing, and interaction with the iPad's features.  The second model replaces the keyboard with a more versatile stand that provides multiple angles for use.  The ZAGGmate was the recipient of several prestigious industry awards, including the Macworld Expo 2011 Best of Show and recognition as a CES Innovations Design and Engineering Honoree. On April 7, 2011, we partnered with Logitech on the ZAGGmate product and renamed it the Logitech Keyboard Case by ZAGG. Under the partnership with Logitech, we receive royalty payments for all units sold by Logitech. On May 9, 2012, we were awarded patent number US D 659,139 by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, covering design elements of the ZAGGmate case and keyboard accessory for tablets.

As a follow up to the ZAGGmate, we launched the ZAGGfolio in July 2011.  The ZAGGfolio is a stylish and functional case for the iPad 2, iPad 3, iPad 4, Samsung Galaxy Tablet, and Galaxy Tablet 2.0 that not only offers full protection, but increases productivity through a removable Bluetooth keyboard.  Operating with Bluetooth 3.0, the integrated battery will last for months between charges.  A true 3-in-1 solution with a keyboard, stand and full protective cover, the patent-pending ZAGGfolio is the winner of multiple awards including the 2012 CES Innovations Design and Engineering Showcase Honors.  In fall of 2011, we expanded the ZAGGfolio family to include 11 different colors, textures and patterns, including genuine leather.  In November 2012, the ZAGGfolio was named a gold winner of the Consumer Product of the Year at the Best in Biz Awards 2012

In November 2011, ZAGG launched the ZAGGkeys FLEX, a portable Bluetooth keyboard and stand.  As implied by its name, the FLEX offers flexible function for the two most popular tablet and smartphone operating systems; a switch on the keyboard toggles between the Apple iOS and Android®.  The ZAGGkeys FLEX utilizes the same keyboard layout as our award-winning Logitech Keyboard Case by ZAGG and ZAGGfolio, ensuring a true typing experience.  The ZAGGkeys FLEX includes a unique keyboard cover that easily converts into a stable stand compatible with nearly any tablet or smartphone.  The ZAGGkeys FLEX was named an honoree at the 2012 CES Innovations Design and Engineering Showcase.

In August 2012, ZAGG debuted the ZAGGkeys PRO™ and ZAGGkeys PRO Plus™ at IFA 2012 in Berlin, Germany. The ZAGGkeys Pro™ and ZAGGkeys Pro Plus™ are ultra-thin Bluetooth®keyboard accessories that accentuate the utility and convenience of the Apple iPad. Different from the original ZAGGkeys accessory, the ZAGGkeys PRO and PRO Plus utilize an innovative magnetic closure to secure the iPad, and protect the screen from scratches and smudges. The patented keyboard design of both new products provides a natural typing experience in a compact layout, with dedicated function keys to operate specific iPad features. In addition, the ZAGGkeys PRO Plus features optional backlighting for full keyboard use without the need for another light.

In October 2012, we launched the ZAGGkeys MINI 7 and ZAGGkeys MINI 9, which features a durable folio designed specifically around the iPad® mini and highlighted with ZAGG's award-winning keyboard technology. The Bluetooth 3.0 keyboard of the ZAGGkeys MINI 7 is custom designed to fit the iPad mini, providing a feature-rich keyboard while maintaining the small, compact size. The ZAGGkeys MINI 9 offers a similar keyboard with a carefully engineered layout to provide the same spacing as ZAGG's traditional tablet keyboard. Both accessories in the ZAGGkeys MINI line feature built-in stands to hold the tablet at an ideal viewing angle and special function keys to operate essential iPad mini features directly from the keyboard.

In November 2012, ZAGG debuted the ZAGGkeys PROfolio and ZAGGkeys PROfolio+. The ZAGGkeys PROfolio and PROfolio+ offer a complete mobile experience for the iPad 2, iPad 3, or iPad 4. The durable exterior provides a stylish case that protects both the device and the keyboard from dings and scratches. A clever magnetic closure secures the iPad to the ZAGGkeys PROfolio and PROfolio+, which features the same innovative keyboard technology, including the special function keys and carefully engineered spacing as ZAGG’s traditional keyboard tablet. In addition, the ZAGGkeys PROfolio+ features optional backlighting for full keyboard use without the need for another light. Three levels of backlighting are available in seven colors:  blue, dark blue, green, purple, red, yellow and white.

Family of iFrogz Branded Products

Acquisition of iFrogz

On June 21, 2011, the Company, ReminderBand, Inc., dba iFrogz (“iFrogz”), and the owners of iFrogz entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement pursuant to which ZAGG acquired 100% of the outstanding shares of iFrogz. The combination of ZAGG and iFrogz represented an opportunity to create a market leader in the mobile device accessories industry by building on complementary brands and increasing overall market share by growing product lines and expanding distribution.

iFrogz was headquartered in Logan, Utah, prior to the acquisition. iFrogz designs, produces, and distributes cases, Near-Field Audio™ amplifying speakers, earbuds, traditional headphones, and gaming headphones for mobile devices under the family of iFrogz brands in the value-priced lifestyle sector. Within the iFrogz brand are products sold under the following brand names: iFrogz™, Earpollution™, Caliber™, and Animatone™.

iFrogz Cases

iFrogz began in 2006 by initially creating protective cases for Apple iPods with a unique combination of fashion and quality that was received well by the marketplace. Initially, all sales were online. However, in early 2007, iFrogz began distributing its case products through large retailers and began more firmly establishing itself as a youth- and fashion-oriented brand. Since 2007, the iFrogz case offerings have expanded to include a wide array of sleek and stylish cases for each new generation of Apple iPod, iPhone, and iPad. During 2012, iFrogz cases became available for the Samsung Galaxy III S.

In November 2012, ZAGG launched the iFrogz Vue Case for the Apple iPhone line. The iFrogz Vue is a customizable case for the iPhone that lets users combine their favorite pictures, prints or designs to create a unique, personalized, scrapbook-style case. Its clear, durable case will not collect dust or lint going in and out of a purse or pocket. The Vue includes the case itself, a camera hole-punch and template for creating individual designs, and sample patterns to help creative iPhone owners show off their individual styles.

In December 2012, ZAGG launched the iFrogz Glaze Case for the Apple iPhone 5. The iFrogz Glaze is a protective case for iPhone that combines stylish color and design with a handy mirror, while leaving the camera and ports open and accessible. Similar to a compact, this new case is ideal for a quick hair or makeup check. The mirror of the Glaze is located on a slim, hinged door that locks to the case, for a streamlined look when not in use.

iFrogz Audio

In the summer of 2007, iFrogz released its first line of audio products under the Earpollution brand. The eclectic selection of Earpollution™ earbuds and headphones specifically targets a younger audience, but still appeals to a wide demographic of consumers. Since the initial launch of the Earpollution™ audio products, iFrogz has continued to innovate and expanded its headphone and earbud product lines to include a large number of product offerings for all ages under both the Earpollution and iFrogz brands.

In February 2012, ZAGG launched the iFrogz Boost speaker under the iFrogz brand. The iFrogz Boost speaker allows users to amplify their device's sound by simply placing their smartphone, or other device equipped with an external speaker, on top of the Boost. The Boost features patent-pending audio technology to sync the external audio signal and then amplify the sound through two high-quality 2W x 2RMS speakers. No wires, cords, Bluetooth or pairing configuration is needed.

In October 2012, ZAGG introduced the Boost Plus under the iFrogz brand, a new iteration of its portable, external wireless speaker for smartphones and MP3 players. The Boost Plus allows consumers to fill living spaces and outdoor entertainment areas with music by simply placing a sound-producing mobile device on top of the speaker. Powered by Near-Field Audio Technology™, the Boost Plus picks up the audio from a consumer's mobile device and pumps it out of three high-quality 2W x 2RMS speakers, eliminating the need for wires, cords or pairing configurations. The Boost Plus was an Innovations Design and Engineering Awards Honoree at the 2013 International Consumer Electronics Show.

In November 2012, ZAGG introduced the Animatone line of accessories designed for young children. The initial Animatone line offering includes headphones and earbuds with playful styling and audio limiting to protect developing ears. The Animatone line features child-friendly designs, and animal-inspired images in a variety of bright colors including blue, red and green. Both versions of these first Animatone audio accessories feature built-in volume boundaries to prevent the sound from being turned louder than 85 decibels, which is equivalent to the level of an average telephone dial tone.

iFrogz Gaming

In August 2012, ZAGG released the Caliber brand of headset for gamers under the iFrogz brand at IFA 2012 in Berlin, Germany. The Caliber line provides outstanding design and sound quality for a premium mobile, desktop or console gaming experience. The Caliber Stealth gaming headset was created specifically for mobile devices, while the Caliber Axiom works with the most popular systems, including Xbox®, PC, Mac, and PS3®. Both include in-line controls and accessories needed for voice connections. Last in the Caliber series is the Vanguard, which has been designed to include 7.1 channel audio, a retractable microphone, and an optional bass vibration feature for fully immersive gaming. Viewing movies with Vanguard's 7.1 channel audio and bass vibration feature provides listeners with an authentic theater experience.

4

iFrogz continues to innovate its audio and case product lines allowing it to remain ahead of the curve in the electronic device accessory fashion market.

In addition, during the fourth quarter of 2012, the Company made an important brand strategy adjustment to place greater emphasis on the promotion of our core brands, ZAGG and iFrogz.

2013 International Consumer Electronics Show

The annual International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) provides the Company the opportunity to introduce new creative product solutions to the market. At the 2013 CES, the Company introduced a number of new case, earbud, headphone, and gaming products under the ZAGG and iFrogz brands. The Company considers the following to be new key product offerings:

·   iFrogz Caliber Advantage – The Caliber Advantage is the first open development gaming controller for the Apple iPhone or iPod touch. It provides gamers with an enhanced console-style gaming experience that attaches directly to their Apple iPhone 5 or iPod touch. The Caliber Advantage controls the action via the device's Bluetooth® connection, providing the lightning-fast response needed for today's mobile gaming. The dual slide-out analog controls of the gaming handset feature tactile, responsive keys, for a tight and accurate gaming experience. The Caliber Advantage incorporates the accelerometer features of the iPhone while adding all of the benefits of a traditional gaming controller. The Caliber Advantage will also feature an integrated lithium polymer battery offering 10-12 hours of continuous play without the need for a charge. The Caliber Advantage utilizes technology that is specifically optimized for games developed by industry leaders such as Epic Games and Epic's ChAIR Entertainmentfor the ultimate gaming experience. Industry-leading developers will have the ability to easily integrate new and existing game titles with the Caliber Advantage's proprietary SDK. It is expected the Caliber Advantage will be available in the second quarter of 2013.

·   ZAGG Origin Desktop Speaker – The Origin desktop speaker is an innovative 2-in-1 desktop and portable Bluetooth® speaker system, the first of its kind on the market. The small, portable speaker provides users with crisp, high fidelity sound on the go and seamlessly transfers music to the large desktop speaker when docked. The combination of the two speakers produces big, room-filling sound with prominent bass. The small portable speaker also receives a charge to its battery when docked in the desktop speaker. Powerful audio drivers lets listeners turn up the volume as loud as they like without losing sound clarity or quality. It is expected the Origin will be available in the spring of 2013.

·   iFrogz Animatone Product Series – The Animatone product series is highlighted by child-friendly designs and animal-inspired images in a variety of bright colors. Both versions of the first Animatone audio accessories – earbuds and headphones – feature built-in volume boundaries to prevent the sound from being turned louder than 85 decibels, the equivalent of an average telephone dial tone. One of the newest additions unveiled at CES 2013 is the Animatone Snug™, which includes soft, durable, plush toys with front pockets designed for the Apple® iPhone®, iPod® touch and other handheld media devices. The Animatone Snug line has a revolutionary and innovative wireless system called NearFA technology, first introduced with the iFrogz Boost™ line. Gadget users amplify a device's sound by simply placing a smartphone, MP3 player or other device equipped with an external speaker into the front pocket of the Animatone Snug, giving kids a fun and interactive way to listen to music or watch videos. At CES 2013, iFrogz also introduced the Animatone Tumble, a protective case for the Apple iPad®. The Tumble holds the iPad in a strong, but lightweight protective case to provide peace of mind for parents when kids are using the family tablet. The Tumble features a handle that allows easy carrying for hands of all sizes and snaps out to become an adjustable stand for media viewing from multiple angles.

Strategy

At ZAGG, our focus is to (1) design creative product solutions for users of mobile devices, (2) sell these products to end-users through global distribution partners and online, and (3) to become the preferred brand through the innovation and quality of our products. The focus of our corporate, team, and individual goals is to accomplish this overall corporate strategy.

We will continue to expand our current product offerings, including entering new product categories, and entering new domestic and global markets that we believe will be consistent with our overall corporate strategy.

Design and Packaging

We design theinvisibleSHIELD product for application on thousands of specific electronic devices.  We acquire raw materials from third party sources that are delivered to our facilities and assembled for packaging. In addition, we out-source the high-volume precision-cutting of the materials, which we consider to be more cost effective.  We then package the configured materials together with an installation kit consisting of a moisture adhesive-activating solution, a squeegee, and instructions for application on specific electronic devices.  We also outsource some of these packaging processes to independent third parties.  We have established relationships with package assembly, shipping, and logistics companies that allow us to expand our production and shipping capacity as we continue to grow.

We also custom design each cutout for each electronic device and currently have over 5,900 unique designs.  The cutout designs are developed internally and are owned exclusively by us.  We do not own the patent for the base materials, which is held by the supplier.  Our supplier has verbally agreed to not sell the base materials to any of our competitors.  We believe that our relationship with the manufacturer of the raw material is on excellent terms and anticipate no interruption in our ability to acquire adequate supplies of raw materials and produce products.

For all ZAGG and iFrogz products, we design the packaging to ensure it is consistent with the overall marketing strategy and, as noted above, we outsource the production of packaging to independent third parties.

We manufacture our other mobile device accessories (cases, audio, keyboards, power solutions, and other accessories) using third party manufacturers. We have established relationships with third-party manufacturers, package assembly, warehousing, shipping, and logistics companies that allow us to expand our production and shipping capacity as we continue to grow.

We developed our retail packaging with the input of major retailers to appeal to the consumer.  We have designed the hard plastic and cardboard box packaging to be informative and attractive for point-of-sale displays.

Market for Products

The portable electronic device market, notably handheld devices, is continuing to see advancements in performance and functionality in existing models.  Furthermore, the market is expanding as evidenced by continued innovative new product releases, particularly in tablets and smartphones.  Correspondingly, the aesthetics of such devices are increasingly important as buyers typically consider the look and feel of such devices, as much as performance, in making their purchasing decisions.

As a result, an industry and significant market has emerged for (1) protecting portable electronic devices, notably the “high end” tablet and smartphone devices – both in terms of price, and design/functionality, and (2) enhancing the consumer experience with accessories for mobile electronic devices.

We sell each of our product lines directly via our websites, and through our distributors and retail partners, to consumers of electronic household and hand-held devices.  We sell a significant amount of product for use on Apple’s iPad, iPhone, and iPod devices, though we have experienced continued diversification as other manufacturers’ presence in the market has increased.  Market sources indicate that the tablet, smartphone, and overall mobile device market will continue to increase in the coming years. As this market continues to expand, ZAGG is positioned to grow as we execute our corporate strategy.

In addition to Apple, the handheld electronics industry has continued to market and develop devices with touch screen interfaces, and several major manufacturers, including Samsung, Motorola, Microsoft, Dell, Lenovo, RIM and HTC continue to release innovative products each year.  The invisibleSHIELD is the ideal device protection offering for all types of gadgets, in particular touch-screen devices, as it does not interfere with the functionality of the device while offering complete scratchproof protection.  Our keyboard product line is ideal for tablet and smartphone users as the product line includes keyboards that are both device specific and device agnostic, which are compatible with many tablet and smart phone devices. In addition our ZAGGaudio and iFrogz Audio product lines offer excellent enhancement to any mobile device. We will continue to focus our marketing and innovation efforts around these types of product solutions that protect and enhance mobile devices.

On April 7, 2011, we partnered with Logitech on the ZAGGmate product and renamed it the Logitech Keyboard Case by ZAGG. Under the partnership with Logitech, we receive a royalty payment for all units sold. Currently, we have not entered into any similar arrangements for any other products.

As of the date of this report, we have not partnered with any manufacturers of electronic devices to bundle our products with such devices on initial sale, or to include as part of the device, the application of our products. In the future, we may seek such an arrangement or an alternative co-marketing agreement, but we have not entered into definitive negotiations for such an arrangement at this time.

Market Segments

With over 5,900 invisibleSHIELD products/product configurations available, we have a protective covering for all major market segments of handheld electronic devices, including:  iPods and other brand MP3 players; tablets and notebook computers; smart phones and cell phones; laptops; GPS devices; watch faces; and similar devices and surfaces. We intend to continue to configure the invisibleSHIELD product for use in newly developed consumer devices. The invisibleSHIELD can be quickly configured, packaged, and shipped to customers for new devices as they enter the consumer marketplace, making the invisibleSHIELD available for purchase at the time of or within days of the launch of new electronic devices.

One of the fastest growing market segments is the tablet and smartphone segment.  Most often, smartphone and tablet buyers are drawn to these devices by their elegant design, as well as their easy-to-use functionality.  However, everyday use often mars the finish of the devices’ screen and other areas that receive wear and tear.  The invisibleSHIELD and iFrogz cases offer excellent device protection, while not impeding the form or functionality of the smart phones and tablets, and do not inhibit the touch sensitivity for smartphones and tablets with touch screen technology. Further, our keyboard line provides an innovative solution to effectively interact with tablets and smartphones.

As sales of electronics continue to grow, we anticipate that sales of our complementary accessory products will continue to grow, as well.  Four of the largest areas of our market opportunities relate to sales of tablets, smart phones, MP3 players, and digital cameras.  According to public filings, over 32.4 million iPods, 135.8 million iPhones, and 65.7 million iPads were sold by Apple during 2012.  In addition, industry sources project that the worldwide global accessories market will increase from an estimated $25.0 billion revenue industry during 2012 to an estimated $50.0 billion industry in 2016. Management believes that ZAGG is positioned to serve market needs within this industry with our multiple products lines that include protection, audio, mobile power, and keyboard products.

Marketing and Distribution

We sell our products directly on our websites, to big box electronics retailers, to distributors, and through kiosk vendors in shopping malls and retail centers.  In addition, our products are available for sale worldwide via our website and through retailers and distributers we have partnered with from our subsidiary in Shannon, Ireland.  Currently we advertise our products primarily on the Internet, through magazine adds, through print advertisements in conjunction with our retail partners, and through point of sale displays at retail locations.  We also advertise our products on television and radio both locally and nationally.  We intend to strategically expand our advertising activities in 2013, particularly at the time of a new product launch, although there is no guarantee we will be able to achieve such expansion.  We are also seeking to create strategic partnerships with makers of cellular phone devices and electronic accessories.

Indirect Channels

We sell our products through indirect channels including big box retailers, domestic and international distributors, independent Apple retailers, university bookstores, and small independently owned consumer electronics stores.  For the year ended December 31, 2012, we sold approximately $216.0 million of product through these indirect channels, or approximately 82% of our overall net sales for 2012.  We require indirect channel partners to enter into a reseller agreement with us.

We continue to sell directly to retailers or through distributors to market and place our products for sale in the United States and abroad.  We have entered into distribution agreements for many geographic locations including the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Spain, France, Australia, Hong Kong, Saudi Arabia, South Korea, Mexico, Japan, Germany, Sweden, the Netherlands, and South America for the marketing, distribution and sale of our products.

Website Sales

We sell our products worldwide directly to consumers on our websites at www.ZAGG.com and www.iFrogz.com. For the year ended December 31, 2012, we sold approximately $33.4 million of product on our website, or approximately 13% of our overall net sales for 2012. The URL is included here as an inactive textual reference. Information contained on, or accessible through, our website is not part of, and is not incorporated by reference into, this Report

Mall Kiosk Vendors

We sell ourproducts to kiosk vendors in shopping malls and retail centers.  We enter into agreements with such vendors who purchase the products and resell them to consumers.  For the year ended December 31, 2012, we sold approximately $15.0 million of product, or approximately 5% of our overall net sales for 2012, through our corporate owned mall carts and to licensed cart owners.  The third party licensed cart owners are required to enter into a standard license and resale agreement with us wherein we charge an upfront license fee that is recognized into revenue over the life of the license.  For the year ended December 31, 2012, we recognized $0.2 million related to these license agreements.

Company Organization

Our operations are divided into two operating groups:  ZAGG and iFrogz. Within ZAGG and iFrogz, we are organized as follows: sales and marketing, which includes the development and maintenance of our websites; customer service; operations; product development and management; and general and administration functions.

Warranties

We offer a lifetime guaranty of the durability of ourinvisibleSHIELD products.  If the invisibleSHIELD is ever scratched or damaged (in the course of normal use), a customer simply needs to send back the old product and we will replace it for free.  The products that the invisibleSHIELD is applied to, typically have relatively short lives which helps to limit our exposure for warranty claims.  For products that contain electronic components, the Company offers a one-year manufacturer’s warranty should the product cease to function properly during the first year.

Intellectual Property Rights

ZAGG [through its wholly-owned subsidiary, ZAGG Intellectual Property Holding Company, Inc. (“ZAGG IP”)] owns utility and design patents in the U.S. and in various foreign countries which correspond to a number of its products, including patents with claims focused on certain features of ZAGG’s invisibleSHIELD® protective films for electronic devices and patents.  ZAGG continues to actively pursue further protection for its invisibleSHIELD® protective films and associated methods in the United States and in foreign countries, having filed patent applications for (i) durable transparent films that cover and protect all of the outer surfaces of consumer electronic devices; (ii) both wet and dry application processes for securing protective films to consumer electronic devices; and (iii) dry-application protective films.  In addition, ZAGG has filed applications, and in some instances secured patents, for a variety of its protective cases and keyboard products.  ZAGG has additional patents pending in the U.S and internationally for a variety of current and expected products.

ZAGG owns more than 5,900 invisibleSHIELD protective film designs for protecting a variety of consumer electronic devices. New designs are routinely added to ZAGG’s portfolio to accommodate the newest electronic devices on the market.  ZAGG has filed design applications in the United States and in many foreign countries to protect some of its most popular designs, and has received design protection form a number of jurisdictions.

Additionally and as described in detail below, ZAGG is the owner of numerous trademarks for use in connection with its goods and services.  ZAGG has filed formal applications for a variety of trademarks, and has further secured trademark registrations for many of its trademarks in both the U.S. and in foreign countries.

ZAGG has strategically developed relationships and often exclusive agreements with a number of third party vendors and suppliers. ZAGG’s long-standing relationship with its raw material suppliers and its manufacturers expands the scope of potential intellectual property protection available to ZAGG, including development of innovative solutions for protective films. These exclusive relationships also provide ZAGG with a reasonable expectation that it will be able to supply customers with products long into the future.

ZAGG regularly files patent and trademark applications to protect its inventions, designs and trademarks. While ZAGG believes that the ownership of intellectual property is important to its business, and that its success is based in part upon the ownership of intellectual property rights, ZAGG’s success is also based upon creative product solutions, establishing the preferred brand amount both retailers and consumers, and targeted global distribution.

Government Regulations

Our operations are subject to various federal, state and local employee workplace protection regulations including those of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (“OSHA”). We believe that compliance with federal OSHA regulations, as well as state and local work-place protection regulations, will not have a material adverse effect on our capital expenditures, earnings and competitive and financial position.  Although we believe that our worker and employee safety procedures are adequate and in compliance with law, we cannot completely eliminate the risk of injury to our employees, or the possibility that we may occasionally, unintentionally, be out of compliance with applicable law.  In such event, we could be liable for damages or fines or both.

Employees

We have 237 full-time employees and 36 part-time employees, including our management team.  We have 236 employees in the United States and Ireland that support the ZAGG operating segment, including 24 employees employed on an hourly or part-time basis at our retail cart/kiosk locations.  In addition, we have 37 employees in the Logan, Utah office that support our iFrogz operating segment, including 12 hourly or part-time employees.  No employee is represented by a labor union, and we have never suffered an interruption of business caused by labor disputes.  We believe our relationship with our employees is good.

Our Corporate History

We were formed as a Nevada corporation on April 2, 2004, under the name Amerasia Khan Enterprises Ltd (“AKE”).  On February 8, 2007, AKE executed an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) by and between AKE and its wholly owned subsidiary, SZC Acquisition, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Subsidiary”) on the one hand, and ShieldZone Corporation, a Utah corporation (“ShieldZone”) on the other hand. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, ShieldZone merged with Subsidiary, with ShieldZone surviving the merger and Subsidiary ceasing to exist (the “Merger”).

Following the Merger, ShieldZone was reincorporated in Nevada as a subsidiary of AKE. On March 7, 2007, ShieldZone was merged into AKE and AKE changed its name to ZAGG Incorporated. As a result of these transactions, the historical financial statements of ZAGG Incorporated are the historical financial statements of ShieldZone. The fiscal year end of the Company is December 31.

We changed our name from ShieldZone Corporation to ZAGG Incorporated (later to ZAGG Inc) to better position the company to become a large enterprise in the electronics’ accessories industry through organic growth and through making targeted acquisitions.  The ShieldZone name was very specific to the invisibleSHIELD product line, and although the invisibleSHIELD® is a core product, the name change has brought us the opportunity to easily add new products to our product offering. During 2011, we changed our name from ZAGG Incorporated to ZAGG Inc.

On June 21, 2011, ZAGG acquired 100% of the outstanding shares of iFrogz, which further diversified the existing ZAGG product line, particularly for audio and protective case accessories under the Earpollution and Frogz brand names.

ZAGG will continue to search out other complimentary proven products and companies that fit the ZAGG growth strategy.

Seasonal Business

The Company has historically experienced increased net sales in its fourth fiscal quarter compared to other quarters in its fiscal year due to increased holiday seasonal demand. This historical pattern should not be considered a reliable indicator of the Company’s future sales or financial performance.

10

ITEM 1A.                      RISK FACTORS

Because of the following factors, as well as other factors affecting the Company’s financial condition and operating results, past financial performance should not be considered to be a reliable indicator of future performance, and investors should not use historical trends to anticipate results or trends in future periods.

Risks Related to our Financial Condition

If we are unable to maintain our term loan and line of credit facility, we could face a deficiency in our short term cash needs that would negatively impact our business.

On December 7, 2012, the Company and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo”), entered into a two-year, $84.0 million credit facility (“Credit Agreement”) consisting of a $24.0 million term loan (“Term Loan”) and a $60.0 million revolving line of credit (“Line of Credit”), which Line of Credit includes a letter of credit sub-feature that allows the Company to issue standby commercial letters of credit against the Line of Credit, not to exceed at any time an aggregate of $10.0 million. As of December 31, 2012, the Company had an outstanding balance of $24.0 million on the Term Loan and an outstanding balance of $22.2 million on the Line of Credit.

The Term Loan requires quarterly payments of $2.0 million payable on the first day of each quarter commencing on April 1, 2013, and continuing up to and including October 1, 2014. A final installment payment consisting of the remaining unpaid balance is due on December 1, 2014. A mandatory principal payment of $0.5 million is required for each fiscal quarter in which total liabilities to tangible net worth (as those terms are defined in the Credit Agreement) exceeds 1.50 to 1.00, commencing with the Company’s fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2012. At December 31, 2012, no mandatory principal payment was required.

Borrowings and repayments under the Line of Credit may occur from time to time in the Company’s ordinary course of business from December 7, 2012, through December 1, 2014.  Any outstanding borrowings under the Line of Credit mature and are due on December 1, 2014.

Attached to the Credit Agreement are a number of financial and non-financial debt covenants. If we are not compliant with the covenants, Wells Fargo may decide to limit our ability to access the revolving credit facility. In such event, our short-term cash requirements may exceed available cash on hand resulting in material adverse consequences to our business.

The restrictive covenants contained in our Credit Facility may limit our activities.

Our obligations under the Credit Agreement were secured by all or substantially all of the Company’s assets and the majority of the equity in foreign subsidiaries. Under the Credit Agreement we are subject to specified affirmative covenants customary for loans of this type, including but not limited to the obligations to maintain adequate accounting records in accordance with US generally accepted accounting principles (“US GAAP”); preserve and maintain all licensees, permits, and other governmental compliance; maintain adequate insurance; ensure facilities are kept in good repair; maintain our principal depository bank account with Wells Fargo; provide various notices to the Wells Fargo; and deliver financial statements to Wells Fargo. We are also subject to certain negative covenants customary for loans of this type, including but not limited to prohibitions against certain mergers and acquisitions, pledging assets collateralized under the Credit Agreement, making financial or other guarantees, certain management and ownership changes, the imposition of additional liens on collateral or other of our assets, and prohibitions against additional indebtedness.

Failure to comply with the restrictive covenants in our term loan could accelerate the repayment of any debt outstanding under the Credit Agreement. Additionally, as a result of these restrictive covenants, we may be at a disadvantage compared to our competitors that have greater operating and financing flexibility than we do.

Our level of indebtedness reduces our financial flexibility and could impede our ability to operate.

The Credit Agreement requires us to pay a variable rate of interest, which will increase or decrease based on variations in certain financial indexes. Additionally, fluctuations in interest rates can significantly decrease our profits. We do not have any hedge or similar contracts that would protect us against changes in interest rates.

The amount of our indebtedness could have important consequences for us, including the following:

•   requiring us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to make payments on our debt, thereby reducing funds available for operations, future business opportunities and other purposes;

•   limiting our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and the industry in which we operate;

•   making it more difficult for us to satisfy our debt obligations, as any failure to comply with such obligations, including financial and other restrictive covenants, could result in an event of default under the Credit Agreement, which could lead to, among other things, an acceleration of our indebtedness or foreclosure of the collateral, which could have a material adverse effect on our business or financial condition;

•   limiting our ability to borrow additional funds, or to sell assets to raise funds, if needed, for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions or other purposes; and

•   increasing our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions, including changes in interest rates.

11

We may not generate sufficient cash flow from operations to service and repay our debt and related obligations and have sufficient funds left over to achieve or sustain profitability in our operations, meet our working capital and capital expenditure needs or compete successfully in our industry, which would have a material adverse effect on our operations.

Risks Related to our Company and Business

Because sales of consumer electronic accessories are dependent on new products, product development and consumer acceptance, we could experience sharp decreases in our sales and profit margin if we are unable to continually introduce new products and achieve consumer acceptance.

The consumer and mobile electronics accessory industries are subject to constantly and rapidly changing consumer preferences based on performance features and industry trends.  We generate all of our sales from our consumer and mobile electronics accessories business.  We cannot assure you that we will be able to continue to grow the revenues of our business or maintain profitability.  Our consumer accessories business depends, to a large extent, on the introduction and availability of innovative products and technologies.  Significant sales of our products in the niche consumer electronic accessories market have fueled the recent growth of our business. We believe that our future success will depend in large part upon our ability to enhance our existing products and to develop, introduce, and market new products and improvements to our existing products.

However, if we are not able to continually innovate and introduce new products that achieve consumer acceptance, our sales and profit margins may decline. Our revenues and profitability will depend on our ability to maintain existing and generate additional customers and develop new products.  A reduction in demand for our existing products would have a material adverse effect on our business. The sustainability of current levels of our business and the future growth of such revenues, if any, will depend on, among other factors:

§   the overall performance of the economy and discretionary consumer spending,

§   competition within key markets,

§   continued customer acceptable of our products,

§   customer acceptance of newly developed products, and

§   the demand for other products and services.

We cannot provide assurance that we will maintain or increase our current level of revenues or profits from sales from the consumer and mobile electronics accessories in future periods.

While we are pursuing and will continue to pursue product development opportunities, there can be no assurance that such products will come to fruition or become successful. Furthermore, while a number of those products are being tested, we cannot provide any definite date by which they will be commercially available. We cannot provide assurance that these products will prove to be commercially viable. We may experience operational problems with such products after commercial introduction that could delay or defeat the ability of such products to generate revenue or operating profits. Future operational problems could increase our costs, delay our plans or adversely affect our reputation or our sales of other products which, in turn, could have a material adverse effect on our success and our ability to satisfy our obligations. We cannot predict which of the many possible future products will meet evolving industry standards and consumer demands. We cannot provide assurance that we will be able to adapt to such technological changes, offer such products on a timely basis or establish or maintain a competitive position.

Because we face intense competition, including competition from companies with significantly greater resources than ours, if we are unable to compete effectively with these companies, our market share may decline and our business could be harmed.

Our market is highly competitive with numerous competitors. Some of our competitors may have substantially greater financial, technical, marketing, and other resources than we possess, which may afford them competitive advantages over us.  As a result, our competitors may introduce products that have advantages over our products in terms of features, functionality, ease of use, and revenue producing potential.  They may also have more fully developed sales channels for consumer sales including large retail seller arrangements and international distribution capabilities. In addition, new companies may enter the markets in which we compete, further increasing competition in the consumer electronics accessories industry. Increased competition may result in price reductions, reduced profit margins, loss of market share and an inability to generate cash flows that are sufficient to maintain or expand our development and marketing of new products, which would adversely impact our financial performance.

Because we are dependent on third party sources to acquire sufficient quantities of raw materials to produce our products, any interruption in those relationships could harm our results of operations and our revenues.

12

We acquire substantially all of our raw materials that we use in our products from a limited number of suppliers. Accordingly, we can give no assurance that:

§   our supplier relationships will continue as presently in effect,

§   our suppliers will not become competitors,

§   our suppliers will be able to obtain the components necessary to produce high-quality, technologically-advanced products for us,

§   we will be able to obtain adequate alternatives to our supply sources should they be interrupted,

§   if obtained, alternatively sourced products of satisfactory quality would be delivered on a timely basis, competitively priced, comparably featured or acceptable to our customers, and

§   our suppliers have sufficient financial resources to fulfill their obligations.

Our inability to supply sufficient quality and quantities of products that are in demand could reduce our profitability and have a material adverse effect on our relationships with our customers. If our supplier relationship was terminated or interrupted, we could experience an immediate or long-term supply shortage, which could have a material adverse effect on our business.

Because we do not internally develop the technology for a number of our key products, including the invisibleSHIELD, the impact of technological advancements may cause price erosion and adversely impact our profitability and inventory value.

Because we do not internally develop the technology for a number of our key products, including the invisibleSHIELD, we cannot provide assurance that we will be able to source technologically advanced products in order to remain competitive. Furthermore, the introduction or expected introduction of new products or technologies may depress sales of existing products and technologies. This may result in declining prices and inventory obsolescence. Because we maintain a substantial investment in product inventory, declining prices and inventory obsolescence could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial results.

Our estimates of excess and obsolete inventory may prove to be inaccurate, in which case the net realizable value for excess and obsolete inventory may be understated or overstated.  Although we make every effort to ensure the accuracy of our forecasts of future product demand, any significant unanticipated changes in demand or technological developments could have a significant impact on the value of our inventory and operating results.

There can be no guarantee that we will be able to expand into additional complementary product lines or to continue to configure our products to match new products or devices.

Although we anticipate expanding into additional complementary product lines to provide support to our strategy to provide creative product solutions to mobile device users, there can be no guarantee that we will be successful in innovating and expanding into additional product lines.  Numerous factors, including market acceptance, finding and retaining contract partners that are acceptable to ZAGG, and general market and economic conditions, could prevent us from participating in these complementary product lines, which could limit our ability to implement our business strategy.

Similarly, although we intend to continue to configure the invisibleSHIELD, keyboards, cases, and other product lines for new products and devices, there can be no guarantee that we will be able to either match the demand for our products as new devices and products are introduced, or that purchasers of such devices and products will want to purchase our products for use in connection with them.  Any limitation in our ability to match demand or gain market acceptance of our products in connection with new devices and products could have a material adverse effect on our business.

If we fail to maintain proper inventory levels, our business could be harmed.

We produce our key products prior to the time we receive customers’ purchase orders. We do this to minimize purchasing costs, the time necessary to fill customer orders, and the risk of non-delivery. However, we may be unable to sell the products we have produced in advance. Inventory levels in excess of customer demand may result in inventory write-downs, and the sale of excess inventory at discounted prices could significantly impair our brand image and have a material adverse effect on our operating results and financial condition. Conversely, if we underestimate demand for our products or if we fail to produce the quality products that we require at the time we need them, we may experience inventory shortages. Inventory shortages might delay shipments to customers, negatively impact distributor relationships, and diminish brand loyalty.

Mobile electronic devices typically have relatively short life cycles.  We may be left with obsolete inventory if we do not accurately project the life cycle of different mobile electronic devices.  The charges associated with reserving slow-moving or obsolete inventory as a result of not accurately estimating the useful life of mobile electronics could negatively impact the value of our inventory and operating results.

13

As we continue to grow our business, increased sales to indirect customers may put pressure on our gross profit margins.

Sales of products through indirect customers typically result in increased sales volume, but at lower margins than sales directly to end customers made on our websites. As the Company expands and continues to grow existing relationships with indirect customers, increases in sales to our indirect customers likely will adversely impact our gross profit margins.  Accordingly, there is no assurance that we will continue to recognize similar gross profit margins in the future to those currently being realized.

As we continue to grow our business, entrance into new and complimentary product lines may put pressure on our gross profit margins.

We anticipate expanding into additional complementary product lines to provide support to our strategy to provide creative product solutions to mobile device users. However, there can be no guarantee that sales of products through new product lines will occur at or above the gross profit margins we have historically realized. Accordingly, there is no assurance that we will continue to recognize similar gross profit margins in the future to those currently being realized.

The Company has contractual rights customary in the industry to use its Internet addresses, but if these rights were lost, the loss could have a material effect on the Company’s financial position and results from operations.

The Company has protected the right to use its Internet addresses to the extent possible, and the Company does not expect to lose its rights to use the Internet addresses.  However, there can be no assurance in this regard, and such loss could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

Because we are dependent for our success on key executive officers, our inability to retain these officers would impede our business plan and growth strategies, which would have a negative impact on our business and the value of your investment.

Our success depends on the skills, experience and performance of key members of our management team including Randy Hales, our President and CEO; and Brandon T. O’Brien, our CFO. Although we have employment agreements with Mr. Hales and Mr. O’Brien, were we to lose one or more of these key executive officers, we would be forced to expend significant time and money in the pursuit of a replacement, which would result in both a delay in the implementation of our business plan and the diversion of working capital. We can give you no assurance that we could find satisfactory replacements for these key executive officers at all, or on terms that would not be unduly expensive or burdensome to the Company.  Although we routinely issue equity-based compensation to attract and retain employees, such incentives may not be sufficient to attract and retain key personnel.

Two of our retailers, Best Buy and Walmart, account for a significant amount of our net sales, and the loss of, or reduced purchases from, these or other retailers could have a material adverse effect on our operating results.

In 2012, Best Buy and Walmart accounted for 32% and 11%, respectively of our net sales.  We do not have long-term contracts with any of our retailers, including Best Buy and Walmart, and all of our retailers generally purchase from us on a purchase order basis.  As a result, these retailers generally may, with little or no notice or penalty, cease ordering and selling our products, or materially reduce their orders.  If certain retailers, including Best Buy or Walmart, ceased to sell our products, to slow their rate of purchase of our products, or to decrease the number of products they purchase, our results of operations would be adversely affected.

We may be adversely affected by the financial condition of our retailers and distributors.

Some of our retailers and distributors have experienced financial difficulties in the past. A retailer or distributor experiencing such difficulties will generally not purchase and sell as many of our products as it would under normal circumstances and may cancel orders.  In addition, a retailer or distributor experiencing financial difficulties generally increases our exposure to uncollectible receivables. We extend credit to our retailers and distributors based on our assessment of their financial condition, generally without requiring collateral. While such credit losses have historically been within our estimated reserves for allowances for bad debts, we cannot assure that this will continue to be the case. Financial difficulties on the part of our retailers or distributors could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition. As of December 31, 2012, Best Buy accounted for 56% of accounts receivable, which account is presently being paid on terms satisfactory to us.

If we fail to attract, train and retain sufficient numbers of our qualified personnel, our prospects, business, financial condition and results of operations will be materially and adversely affected.

Our success depends to a significant degree upon our ability to attract, retain and motivate skilled and qualified personnel. Failure to attract and retain necessary technical personnel, sales and marketing personnel and skilled management could adversely affect our business. If we fail to attract, train and retain sufficient numbers of these highly qualified people, our prospects, business, financial condition and results of operations will be materially and adversely affected.

14

If our products contain defects, our reputation could be harmed and our results of operations adversely affected.

Some of our products may contain undetected defects due to imperfections in the underlying base materials used in production or manufacturing defects. The occurrence of defects or malfunctions could result in financial losses for our customers and in turn increase warranty claims from our customers and diversion of our resources. Any of these occurrences could also result in the loss of or delay in market acceptance of our products and loss of sales.

Because we experience seasonal and quarterly fluctuations in demand for our products, no one quarter is indicative of our results of operations for the entire fiscal year.

Our quarterly results may fluctuate quarter to quarter as a result of market acceptance of our products, the sales mix, changes in pricing, the timing of inventory write downs, changes in the cost of materials, the use of airfreight to transport products, the incurrence of other operating costs and factors beyond our control, such as general economic conditions and actions of competitors. We are also affected by seasonal buying cycles of consumers, such as the holiday season, and the introduction of popular consumer electronics, such as a new introduction of products from Apple, HTC, Samsung, RIM, and others.  Accordingly, the results of operations in any quarter will not necessarily be indicative of the results that may be achieved for a full fiscal year or any future quarter.

Because we have limited protection on the intellectual property underlying our products, we may not be able to protect our products from the infringement of others or may be prevented from marketing our products.

We do not own proprietary rights with respect to the film we use in our invisibleSHIELD products. However, we have protected key proprietary design and utility elements of other products through patents. In addition, we own and keep confidential the design configurations of the film and the product cut designs which are our copyrights. We seek to protect our intellectual property rights through confidentiality agreements with our employees, consultants and partners, and domestic and foreign patent prosecution and similar means. However, no assurance can be given that such measures will be sufficient to protect our intellectual property rights or that the intellectual property rights that we have are sufficient to protect other persons from creating and marketing substantially similar products. If we cannot protect our rights, we may lose our competitive advantage. Moreover, if it is determined that our products infringe on the intellectual property rights of third parties, we may be prevented from marketing our products.

Claims relating to the infringement of third-party proprietary rights, even if not meritorious, could result in costly litigation, divert management’s attention and resources, or require us to either enter into royalty or license agreements which are not advantageous to us or pay material amounts of damages.  In addition, parties making these claims may be able to obtain an injunction, which could prevent us from selling our products.

We face potential class action and derivative lawsuits and other potential liabilities that could materially adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We have been, are currently, and may in the future be the subject of various lawsuits and proceedings.  In September 2012, we and certain of our current and former officers and directors were named as defendants in two putative class action lawsuits.  The plaintiffs in the putative class action lawsuits claim that as a result of Mr. Pedersen's alleged December 2011 margin account sales, the defendants initiated a succession plan to replace Mr. Pedersen as our CEO with Mr. Hales, but failed to disclose either the succession plan or Mr. Pedersen's margin account sales, in violation of Sections 10(b), 14(a), and 20(a), and SEC Rules 10b-5 and 14a-9, under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  Additionally, in December 2012, the first of three shareholder derivative actions was filed against several of our current and former officers and directors.  These complaints make allegations similar to those presented in the putative class action lawsuits, but they also assert various state law causes of action, including claims for breach of fiduciary duty, waste of corporate assets, unjust enrichment, and insider trading.  In the fourth quarter of 2012, we received requests to provide documentation and information to the staff of the SEC in connection with a non-public investigation being conducted by the SEC’s Salt Lake City office.  The Company believes the investigation includes a review of the facts and circumstances surrounding some of the same issues raised by the plaintiffs in the above lawsuits; specifically, whether the Company failed to disclose Mr. Pedersen's margin account sales or the alleged existence of a plan to have Mr. Hales succeed Mr. Pedersen as our CEO.  The Company responded to these requests and is cooperating fully with the staff.  See "Item 3-Legal Proceedings" for more information about these matters. Given the stage of these lawsuits and the SEC investigation, we are unable to assess or quantify with any certainty their outcome, timing or potential costs. In defending and ultimately resolving these matters, we may be required to pay amounts in excess of any insurance, divert management's attention from the operation of our business or change our business practices, any of which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and, consequently, the trading price of our common stock.

The lawsuits and SEC investigation are in their early stages, and, therefore, we are unable to predict the outcome of the lawsuits or the SEC investigation and the possible loss or range of loss, if any, associated with their resolution or any potential effect they may have on our operations.  Moreover, the outcome and amount of resources needed to defend or resolve the lawsuits and the investigation are unpredictable and may remain unknown for long periods of time.  In addition, the plaintiffs may seek recovery of very large damage awards that could exceed any insurance that may be available to us. Our exposure under these matters will also include our indemnification obligations, to the extent we have any, to current and former officers and directors against losses incurred in connection these matters, including reimbursement of legal fees. Although we maintain insurance for claims of this nature, our insurance coverage may be denied or insufficient to cover the costs related to the putative class action lawsuits or the investigation. In addition, these matters or future lawsuits or investigations involving us may increase our insurance premiums, deductibles or co-insurance requirements or otherwise make it more difficult for us to maintain or obtain adequate insurance coverage on acceptable terms, if at all. Moreover, adverse publicity associated with these lawsuits or the investigation and negative developments in these proceedings could decrease customer demand for our products. As a result, the pending lawsuits and investigation and any future lawsuits or investigations involving us or our officers or directors could have a material adverse effect on our business, reputation, financial condition, results of operations, and the trading price of our common stock.

The current economy is affecting consumer spending patterns, which could adversely affect our business.

Consumer spending patterns, especially discretionary spending for products such as mobile, consumer and accessory electronics, are affected by, among other things, prevailing economic conditions, energy costs, raw material costs, wage rates, inflation, interest rates, consumer debt, consumer confidence and consumer perception of economic conditions. A general slowdown in the U.S. and certain international economies, or an uncertain economic outlook could have a material adverse effect on our sales and operating results.

The disruptions in the national and international economies and financial markets since 2008 and the related increases in unemployment are depressing consumer confidence and spending. If such conditions persist, consumer spending will likely decline further and this would have an adverse effect on our business and our results of operations.

If we are unable to effectively manage our growth, our operating results and financial condition will be adversely affected.

We intend to grow our business by expanding our sales, administrative, and marketing organizations. Any growth in or expansion of our business is likely to continue to place a strain on our management and administrative resources, infrastructure, and information systems. As with other growing businesses, we expect that we will need to refine and expand our business development capabilities, our systems and processes, and our access to financing sources. We also will need to hire, train, supervise, and manage new employees. These processes are time consuming and expensive, will increase management responsibilities and will divert management attention. We provide assurance that we will be able to:

§   expand our systems effectively or efficiently or in a timely manner;

§   allocate our human resources optimally;

§   meet our capital needs;

§   identify and hire qualified employees or retain valued employees; or

§   incorporate effectively the components of any business or product line that we may acquire in our effort to achieve growth.

15

If our competitors misappropriate our proprietary know-how and trade secrets, it could have a material adverse effect on our business.

We depend heavily on the expertise of our production team. If any of our competitors copies or otherwise gains access to similar products independently, we might not be able to compete as effectively. The measures we take to protect our designs may not be adequate to prevent their unauthorized use. Further, the laws of foreign countries may provide inadequate protection of such intellectual property rights. We have brought and in the future may need to bring legal claims to enforce or protect such intellectual property rights. Any litigation, whether successful or unsuccessful, could result in substantial costs and diversions of resources.

If any of our facilities were to experience catastrophic loss, our operations would be seriously harmed.

Our facilities could be subject to a catastrophic loss from fire, flood, earthquake, or terrorist activity.  Our activities, including sales and marketing, customer service, finance, and other critical business operations are in three locations.  Our manufacturing activities are conducted at other facilities separate from our corporate headquarters.  Any catastrophic loss at these facilities could disrupt our operations, delay production and revenue, and result in large expenses to repair or replace the facility.  While we have obtained insurance to cover most potential losses, we cannot provide assurance that our existing insurance coverage will be adequate against all other possible losses.

If we fail to maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting, we may not be able to accurately report our financial results, and current and potential stockholders may lose confidence in our financial reporting.

We are required by the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002 to establish and maintain adequate internal control over financial reporting that provides reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of our financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). We are likewise required, on an annual basis, to evaluate the effectiveness of our internal controls and to disclose on a quarterly basis any material changes in those internal controls.

As described in Item 9A — Controls and Procedures elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, we identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010, resulting from the lack of a sufficient number of accounting professionals with the necessary experience and training.  Additionally, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting existed as of December 31, 2011, resulting from the lack of a sufficient number of accounting and IT professionals with the necessary experience and training due to the Company’s significant and continued growth.  Given this material weakness, management concluded that we did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011.

During 2012, we devoted significant resources to the remediation and improvement of our internal control over financial reporting and our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that internal controls over financial reporting were effective as of December 31, 2012. However, any failure to maintain and continue to improve our internal controls could adversely impact our ability to report our financial results on a timely and accurate basis. If our financial statements are not accurate, investors may not have a complete understanding of our operations or may lose confidence in our reported financial information. Likewise, if our financial statements are not filed on a timely basis as required by the SEC and The Nasdaq Global Market, we could face severe consequences from those authorities. In either case, it could result in a material adverse effect on our business or have a negative effect on the trading price of our common stock.

Because we distribute products internationally, economic, political and, other risks associated with our international sales and operations could adversely affect our operating results.

Because we sell our products worldwide, our business is subject to risks associated with doing business internationally. Our sales to customers outside the United States accounted for approximately 13% of our net sales in fiscal 2012, including sustained growth at ZAGG International in Shannon, Ireland.  Accordingly, our future results could be harmed by a variety of factors, including:

§   changes in foreign currency exchange rates;

§   exchange controls;

§   changes in regulatory requirements;

§   changes in a specific country's or region's political or economic conditions;

§   tariffs, other trade protection measures and import or export licensing requirements;

§   potentially negative consequences from changes in tax laws or application of such tax laws;

§   difficulty in staffing and managing widespread operations;

§   changing labor regulations;

§   requirements relating to withholding taxes on remittances and other payments by subsidiaries;

§   different regimes controlling the protection of our intellectual property;

§   restrictions on our ability to own or operate subsidiaries, make investments or acquire new businesses in these jurisdictions; and

§   restrictions on our ability to repatriate dividends from our subsidiaries.

16

Our international operations are affected by global economic and political conditions, only some of which are described above.  Changes in economic or political conditions in any of the countries in which we operate could result in exchange rate movement, new currency or exchange controls or other restrictions being imposed on our operations.  We cannot provide assurance that such changes will not have an adverse effect on our foreign operations and our financial results.

There can be no guarantee that additional amounts spent on marketing or advertising will result in additional sales or revenue to the Company.

In 2013, management intends to expand our advertising and to continue our marketing efforts relating to existing products and potential new product introductions.  However, there can be no guarantee that such increased advertising or marketing efforts and strategies will result in increased sales.

Risks Related to the Company’s Securities

Because the price of our common stock has been, and may continue to be, volatile, our shareholders may not be able to resell shares of our common stock at or above the price paid for such shares.

The price for shares of our common stock has exhibited high levels of volatility with significant volume and price fluctuations, which may make our common stock unsuitable for some investors. For example, for the two years ended December 31, 2012, the closing price of our common stock ranged from a high of $16.62 to a low of $6.31 per share. At times, the fluctuations in the price of our common stock may have been unrelated to our operating performance. The price of our common stock may also have been influenced by:

§   fluctuations in our results of operations or the operations of our competitors or customers;

§   the aggregate amount of our outstanding debt and perceptions about our ability to make debt service payments;

§   failure of our results of operations and sales revenues to meet the expectations of stock market analysts and investors;

§   perceived reductions in demand or expectations regarding future demand by our customers;

§   changes in stock market analyst recommendations regarding us, our competitors or our customers;

§   the timing and announcements of product innovations, new products or financial results by us or our competitors;

§   the acquisition of the debt facilities;

§   the departure of ZAGG directors or executives;

§   increases in the number of shares of our common stock outstanding; and

§   changes in our industry.

Based on the above, our stock price may continue to experience volatility. Therefore, we cannot guarantee that our investors will be able to resell our common stock at or above the price at which they purchased it.

Because we may, at some time in the future, issue additional securities, shareholders are subject to dilution of their ownership.

Although we have no immediate plans to raise additional capital, we may at some time in the future do so. Any such issuance would likely dilute shareholders’ ownership interest in our company and may have an adverse impact on the price of our common stock. In addition, from time to time we may issue shares of common stock in connection with equity financing activities or as incentives to our employees and business partners. We may expand the number of shares available under stock incentive and option plans, or create new plans. All issuances of common stock would be dilutive to an existing investor’s holdings in the Company. If an investor’s holdings are diluted, the overall value of the shares may be diminished and the ability to influence shareholder voting will also be harmed.

Because we do not expect to pay dividends for the foreseeable future, investors seeking cash dividends will not purchase our common stock.

We currently intend to retain any future earnings to support the development and expansion of our business and do not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Our payment of any future dividends will be at the discretion of our board of directors after taking into account various factors, including but not limited to our financial condition, operating results, cash needs, growth plans and the terms of any credit agreements that we may be a party to at the time. In addition, our ability to pay dividends on our common stock may be limited by state law. Accordingly, investors must rely on sales of their common stock after price appreciation, which may not occur in the future, as the only way to realize their investment.

17

We may not be able to successfully integrate businesses we have acquired or which we may acquire in the future, and we may not be able to realize anticipated cost savings, revenue enhancements, or other synergies from such acquisitions.

Our ability to successfully implement our business plan and achieve targeted financial results is dependent on our ability to successfully integrate the iFrogz business we acquired in 2011 and other businesses we may acquire in the future. The process of integrating an acquired business involves risks, including but not limited to:

▪           demands on management related to the significant increase in the size of our business;

▪           diversion of management's attention from the management of daily operations;

▪           difficulties in the assimilation of different corporate cultures and business practices;

▪           difficulties in conforming the acquired company's accounting policies to ours;

▪           retaining the loyalty and business of the customers of acquired businesses;

▪           retaining employees that may be vital to the integration of acquired businesses or to the futureprospects of the combined businesses;

▪           difficulties and unanticipated expenses related to the integration of departments, informationtechnology systems, including accounting systems, technologies, books and records, andprocedures, and maintaining uniform standards, such as internal accounting controls, procedures, and policies;

▪           costs and expenses associated with any undisclosed or potential liabilities;

▪           the use of more cash or other financial resources on integration and implementation activities thanwe expect; and

▪           our ability to avoid labor disruptions in connection with any integration, particularly in connectionwith any headcount reduction.

Failure to successfully integrate the iFrogz business or other acquired businesses in the future may result in reduced levels of anticipated revenue, earnings, or operating efficiency than might have been achieved if we had not acquired such businesses.

In addition, any future acquisitions could result in the incurrence of additional debt and related interest expense, contingent liabilities, and amortization expenses related to intangible assets, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, operating results, and cash flow.

Techniques employed by short sellers may drive down the market price of the Company’s common stock.

Short selling is the practice of selling securities that the seller does not own, but rather has borrowed from a third party with the intention of buying identical securities back at a later date to return to the lender. The short seller hopes to profit from a decline in the value of the securities between the sale of the borrowed securities and the purchase of the replacement shares, as the short seller expects to pay less in that purchase than it received in the sale. As it is in the short seller’s best interests for the price of the stock to decline, many short sellers publish, or arrange for the publication of, negative opinions regarding the relevant issuer and its business prospects in order to create negative market momentum and generate profits for themselves after selling a stock short. These short attacks have, in the past, led to selling of shares in the market.

In the past several years, our securities have been the subject of short selling. Reports and information have been published about ZAGG which the Company believes are mischaracterized or incorrect, and which have occasionally been followed by a decline in our stock price. 

It is not clear what additional effects the negative publicity will have on the Company, if any, other than potentially affecting the market price of our common stock. If the Company continues to be the subject of unfavorable allegations, the Company may have to expend a significant amount of resources to investigate such allegations and/or defend itself. While the Company would strongly defend against any such short seller attacks, the Company may be constrained in the manner in which it can proceed against the relevant short seller by principles of freedom of speech, applicable state law, or issues of commercial confidentiality. Such a situation could be costly and time-consuming, and could distract the Company’s management from growing the Company. Additionally, such allegations against the Company could negatively impact its business operations and stockholders equity, and the value of any investment in the Company’s stock could be reduced.

ITEM 2.                      PROPERTIES

Real Property

Our principal executive offices facilities are currently located in approximately 57,000 square feet of office and warehouse space located at 3855 South 500 West, Suites B, C, D, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P, R and S, Salt Lake City, Utah 84115.  In 2012, we renewed a master lease agreement covering all of the suites that expires July 31, 2017, at a straight line monthly lease rate of $35,647.  We also lease kiosk facilities located at seven mall locations in California, office and warehouse space in Logan, Utah for the office of iFrogz, and office space in Shannon, Ireland for the office of ZAGG International.  We believe these facilities are adequate for the foreseeable future.

ITEM 3.    LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Commercial Litigation

Ricks v. Scott Huskinson et al., Third Judicial District Court, Salt Lake County, State of Utah, Civil No. 120907697.  On November 15, 2012, Craig Ricks (“Ricks”) filed a lawsuit in Utah state court against the Company, its wholly owned subsidiary iFrogz, Inc., formerly known as Reminderband, Inc. (“iFrogz”), Scott Huskinson (“Huskinson”), Clay Broadbent (“Broadbent”), and Reminderband, Inc., formerly known as Two Ten Squared, Inc. (“Reminderband”).  In this lawsuit, Ricks alleges that Huskinson and Broadbent maliciously denied him an equitable ownership interest in iFrogz.  The complaint asserts claims for conversion, constructive trust, civil conspiracy, fraud and fraudulent inducement, breach of contract and breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing.  On December 31, 2012, the Company and iFrogz filed an answer denying liability.  The other defendants have done the same.  The Company believes plaintiff’s claims to be without merit and intends to vigorously defend against them. The Company is indemnified by Huskinson and Broadbent for any losses that may occur related to this case, including legal fees.

Lorence A. Harmer, et al v ZAGG Inc et al, Third Judicial District Court, Salt Lake County, State of Utah, Civil No. 110917687. On September 20, 2011, Lorence A. Harmer, a former director of ZAGG and two of his affiliates, Harmer Holdings, LLC, and Teleportal, LLC, filed a lawsuit in Utah state court against the Company, Robert G. Pedersen, II, Brandon T. O’Brien and KPMG LLP. KPMG has subsequently been dismissed from the lawsuit. This case is discussed in greater detail in Note 11, Note Receivable. In their lawsuit, the plaintiffs allege that the defendants defamed Mr. Harmer, breached a Settlement Agreement and other agreements between the plaintiffs and the Company, and interfered with other rights of the plaintiffs.  The Company has responded to the plaintiffs’ claims, denying all of the material allegations made by the plaintiffs, and asserting affirmative defenses.  On October 29, 2012, the Company filed a Counterclaim and Third-Party Complaint against Harmer, Holdings, Teleportall and third-party Global Industrial Services Limited asserting claims for breach of contract, deficiency, indemnity and attorneys’ fees, breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, quasi contract, unjust enrichment, quantum meruit and declaratory judgment.  The Company believes the plaintiffs’ claims to be without merit and intends to continue to vigorously defend against them.  The plaintiffs have not yet made a specific damages claim.

ZAGG Inc v. Nicholas Pardini, Third Judicial District Court, Salt Lake County, State of Utah, Civil No. 120903147.  On May 9, 2012, ZAGG filed a lawsuit in Utah State Court against Nicholas Pardini, an internet author and purported manager of a small hedge fund.  The complaint alleged causes of action for defamation and false light, based on Mr. Pardini’s actions of authoring and causing to be published a false and defamatory article on a website with the domain name seekingalpha.com.  ZAGG and the defendant engaged in settlement negotiations, and agreed to a dismissal of all claims in exchange for information about the defendant’s preparation of the article and its removal from the website.  The case has been dismissed with prejudice.

ZAGG Inc v. Anthony H. Catanach Jr. and J. Edward Ketz, United States District Court, Eastern District of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia Division, Case No. 2:12-cv-04399-HB.  On May 9, 2012, ZAGG filed a lawsuit in Utah State Court against Anthony H. Catanach Jr. and J. Edward Ketz, professors at universities in Pennsylvania who write for and administer a financial blog.  The complaint alleged causes of action for defamation and false light, based on the defendants’ co-authoring and publication of an article that contains false and defamatory statements.  The defendants removed the case to federal court in Utah and the Company then stipulated to a transfer of venue to the Eastern District of Pennsylvania.  The defendants moved to dismiss the Company’s claims, but this motion was denied.  ZAGG and the defendants engaged in settlement negotiations, and agreed to a dismissal of all claims in exchange for information about the defendants’ preparation of the article and its removal from the blog.  The case has been dismissed with prejudice.

ZAGG Inc v. Joseph Ramelli, Third Judicial District Court, Salt Lake County, State of Utah, Civil No. 120903188.  On May 10, 2012, ZAGG filed a lawsuit in Utah State Court against Joseph Ramelli.  The complaint alleges causes of action for defamation and false light, based on Ramelli’s authoring and causing to be published at least 15 articles relating to ZAGG that contain false and defamatory statements.  Ramelli, who appeared in the lawsuit pro se, moved to dismiss for lack of personal jurisdiction.  The Company opposed the motion, and the court denied the motion to dismiss.  Fact discovery has commenced.  The Company intends to pursue its case vigorously against Mr. Ramelli.

Patent Litigation

ZAGG Intellectual Property Holding Co. Inc. v. NLU Products et al, U.S. District Court, District of Utah, 2:11-cv-00517.  The Company is the plaintiff in patent infringement litigation pending in Utah that seeks to enforce rights under United States Patent No. 7,957,524. The defendants in this case have raised defenses and, in some cases, asserted counterclaims against the Company, that seek declarations of unenforceability or non-infringement of the patent. These counterclaims do not assert any claims for affirmative relief, including claims for damages, against the Company, apart from a request for an award of costs and attorney’s fees to the prevailing party. Several of the defendants have settled with the Company. Litigation of this action has been stayed pending a reexamination of United States Patent No. 7,957,524 by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.  This reexamination has led to the rejection of the claims of the patent, but this decision is currently on appeal.  In the opinion of management, the ultimate disposition of these patent infringement claims, including disposition of the counterclaims, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, or liquidity.

ZAGG v. Trekstor, Regional Court, Dusseldorf, Germany. The Company brought suit in Dusseldorf, Germany against Trekstor for infringement of ZAGG design registrations for ZAGGmate and the Logitech Keyboard Case by ZAGG.  The Company also brought claims for unfair competition.  As of the date of this Report, all briefing had been completed and a hearing was held.  The Court has not yet ruled on the claims of infringement and has indicated that it may not issue its decision until after TrekStor’s challenges to the registrations have been considered. TrekStor has challenged the Company’s ownership of the design registrations and has filed an application for a declaration of invalidity of the Company’s design registrations, but this application has been denied and is not pending on appeal.  The Company believes these allegations of invalidity and ownership to be without merit and intends to vigorously defend against them.

Patent Acquisition

On August 31, 2010, Andrew Mason (“Mason”) filed a complaint against the Company claiming infringement of United States Patent Nos. 7,389,869 and 7,784,610 as a result of the Company’s invisibleSHIELD installation kits. On November 9, 2010, the Company, Mason and his company, eShields LLC (“eShields”) entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (“Purchase Agreement”) under which a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, ZAGG Intellectual Property Holding Company, Inc. (“ZAGG IP”), acquired all of the rights of Mason in (i) the patents (United States Patent Nos. 7,389,869 and 7,784,610) which were the subject of the litigation, (ii) the patent application filed on August 13, 2010 (the “CIP Application”) and (iii) rights to sue for infringement of the patents.

In consideration for the conveyance of Mason’s assets described above, the Company agreed to pay or convey to Mason the following:

(a)	a first payment of $200 by November 11, 2010, and a second payment of $150 after December 31, 2010;
(b)	issue to Mason five-year warrants (the “Warrant”) to purchase 750 shares of the Company’s restricted Common Stock at an exercise price equal to the closing bid price on November 9, 2010 ($8.53); provided that 500 of the 750 warrant shares are exercisable only upon the issuance of a patent from the CIP Application with at least one claim that satisfies the Claim Conditions (as defined below);
(c)	issue to Mason 70 shares of the Company’s restricted Common Stock; and
(d)	grant eShields a fully paid-up, perpetual, non-exclusive license, with limited rights to transfer or sublicense, for the patents and CIP Applications.

The Company also agreed to dismiss the claims asserted against Mason and eShields, and to make additional payments to Mason if the US Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”) issues a U.S. patent on the CIP Application that includes certain claims, the “Claim Conditions”). If the Claim Conditions are met, the Company will:

(a)	pay Mason the sum of $500; and
(b)	issue to Mason 430 shares of the Company’s restricted Common Stock.

If the Claim Conditions are not met, the Company has no obligation to make the payment or issue the shares described in the preceding paragraph and Mason will not be able to exercise 500 of the Warrants. There can be no assurance that the USPTO will issue a patent on the CIP Application that meets the requirements of the Claim Conditions. As of December 31, 2012, no applicable patent had been issued by the USPTO.

Class Action Lawsuits

James H. Apple, et al. v. ZAGG Inc, et al., U.S. District Court, District of Utah, 2:12-cv-00852; Ryan Draayer, et al. v. Zagg Inc, et al., U.S. District Court, District of Utah, 2:12-cv-00859.  On September 6 and 10, 2012, two punitive class action lawsuits were filed by purported Company shareholders against the Company, Randall Hales, Brandon O’Brien, Edward Ekstrom, and Cheryl Larabee, as well as Robert G. Pedersen II, our former Chairman and CEO, and Shuichiro Ueyama, a former member of our Board of Directors.  In each case, the plaintiffs seek certification of a class of purchasers of our stock between February 28, 2012 and August 17, 2012.  The plaintiffs claim that as a result of Mr. Pedersen's alleged December 2011 margin account sales, the defendants initiated a succession plan to replace Mr. Pedersen as our CEO with Mr. Hales, but failed to disclose either the succession plan or Mr. Pedersen's margin account sales, in violation of Sections 10(b), 14(a), and 20(a), and SEC Rules 10b-5 and 14a-9, under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”).  On March 7, 2013, the U.S. District Court for the District of Utah consolidated the Apple and Draayer actions and assigned the caption In re Zagg, Inc. Securities Litigation.  The Company has not yet responded to the complaints.  The Company intends to vigorously defend against them.

Arthur Morganstern v. Robert G. Pedersen II et al., Third Judicial District Court, Salt Lake County, State of Utah, Civil No. 120908452; Albert Pikk v. Robert G. Pedersen II et al., U.S. District Court, District of Utah, Case No. 2:12-cv-1188; Rosenberg v. Robert G. Pedersen II et al., U.S. District Court, District of Utah, Case No. 2:12-cv-1216.  On December 14, 2012, the first of three shareholder derivative complaints were filed against several of our current and former officers and directors.  These complaints make allegations similar to those presented in the putative class action lawsuits, but they also assert various state law causes of action, including claims for breach of fiduciary duty, waste of corporate assets, unjust enrichment, and insider trading.  Each of these derivative complaints seek unspecified damages on behalf of the Company, which is named solely as a nominal defendant against whom no recovery is sought.  On February 27, 2013, the U.S. District Court for the District of Utah consolidated the Pikk and Rosenberg actions and assigned the caption In re ZAGG Inc. Shareholder Derivative Litigation.  The Company has not yet responded to these complaints.

In the fourth quarter of 2012, the Company received requests to provide documentation and information to the staff of the SEC in connection with a non-public investigation being conducted by the SEC’s Salt Lake City office.  The Company believes the investigation includes a review of the facts and circumstances surrounding some of the same issues raised by the plaintiffs in the above lawsuits; specifically, whether the Company failed to disclose Mr. Pedersen's margin account sales or the alleged existence of a plan to have Mr. Hales succeed Mr. Pedersen as our CEO.  The Company responded to these requests and is cooperating fully with the staff.  We have chosen to disclose this non-public investigation due to the highly public nature of the lawsuits described above, which the Company intends to defend vigorously.

The Company is not a party to any other litigation or other claims at this time. While the Company currently believes that the amount of any ultimate potential loss for known matters would not be material to the Company’s financial condition, the outcome of these actions is inherently difficult to predict. In the event of an adverse outcome, the ultimate potential loss could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations in a particular period.

We establish liabilities when a particular contingency is probable and estimable. We have not accrued for any loss at December 31, 2012 in our condensed consolidated financial statements as we do not consider a loss to be probable nor estimable.

Holders of Common stock

At February 19, 2013, there were approximately 31 registered holders or persons otherwise entitled to hold our common shares pursuant to a shareholders’ list provided by our transfer agent, Empire Stock Transfer.  The number of registered shareholders excludes any estimate by us of the number of beneficial owners of common shares held in street name.

Dividends

There are no restrictions in our articles of incorporation or bylaws that restrict us from declaring dividends. The Nevada Revised Statutes, however, do prohibit us from declaring dividends where, after giving effect to the distribution of the dividend:

§   we would not be able to pay our debts as they become due in the usual course of business; or

§   our total assets would be less than the sum of our total liabilities, plus the amount that would be needed to satisfy the rights of shareholders who have preferential rights superior to those receiving the distribution.

We have not declared or paid cash dividends on our common stock since our inception, and our Board of Directors currently intends to retain all earnings for use in the business for the foreseeable future.  Any future payment or dividends to holders of common stock will depend upon our results of operations, financial condition, cash requirements, and other factors deemed relevant by our Board of Directors.

Overview

At ZAGG, our focus is to (1) design creative product solutions for users of mobile devices, (2) sell these products to end-users through global distribution partners and online, and (3) to become the preferred brand through the innovation and quality of our products, providing excellent customer service, and focusing on the end-users’ knowledge and experience with our products. The focus of our corporate, team, and individual goals is to accomplish this overall corporate strategy.

24

We believe that hand-held devices and gadgets can be best enjoyed with the right mix of (1) protection to prevent the device from getting scratched or damaged and (2) accessories that enhance the consumers’ experience with their electronic device. The mix of our full product offering, which includes the invisibleSHIELD, ZAGGskins, iFrogz protective cases, ZAGG and iFrogz audio accessories, ZAGGsparqs and other power products, and our keyboard lines, provides the end consumers with unparalleled device protection and enhanced enjoyment of their mobile electronic device.

We plan to continue to expand our current product offerings, including entering new product categories, and entering new domestic and global markets that we believe will be consistent with our overall corporate strategy. Our products are available to our customers through our websites at www.ZAGG.com and www.iFrogz.com, and through our retail distribution channels, which includes major retailers like Best Buy, Walmart, Target, AT&T, Sprint, Verizon, T-Mobile, Radio Shack, Staples, and The Carphone Warehouse; independent electronics resellers; college bookstores; independent Mac stores; mall kiosks, and other online retailers.  During 2012, we had two customers that accounted for more than 10% of our net sales.  We continue to increase our product lines to offer additional electronic accessories and services to our tech-savvy customer base.

To recap results for 2012 (in thousands):

·   Our revenue grew 48% from $179,125 in 2011 to $264,425 in 2012. iFrogz, which was acquired by ZAGG on June 21, 2011, contributed $36,046 to the 2011 and $68,411 to the 2012 revenue balances.

·   In addition to a full year of sales from iFrogz, our sales growth in 2012 was the result of continued strong demand from customers in our indirect channel category from existing and new distribution partners, and the continued growth of the invisibleSHIELD product line, coupled with strong growth of the Company’s keyboard, audio, and case product lines.  Sales of invisibleSHIELD products accounted for approximately 58% of total sales in 2011 and approximately 46% of total sales in 2012, which represents an increase in total dollar sales year over year. Sales of keyboard products accounted for approximately 17% of our total sales in 2011 and approximately 24% of total sales in 2012. Our 2012 sales through our website and through our mall kiosk program also increased over 2011.

·   Our gross profit grew 47% from $81,924 in 2011 to $120,545 in 2012. Gross profit as a percent of revenue remained relatively flat at 46% in 2011 and 2012. Our consistent gross profit percentage is primarily the result of year-over-year changes in acquisition related charges, and in operational decisions made to meet customer needs and grow our business. During 2011, management incurred charges through cost of sales related to the write-up of iFrogz inventory at acquisition. These charges all occurred in 2011, and thus decreased 2011 gross profit compared to 2012. This was offset by the following items that decreased gross profit during 2012 compared to 2011:  (1) an increase airfreight shipping costs incurred during 2012 primarily linked to product releases; (2) the continued product sales mix shift, as a higher percentage of our total sales were generated by lower margin products such as our keyboard, audio, and case products compared to prior years where a higher percentage of sales were generated by our invisibleSHIELD products, our highest margin products; and (3) the continued channel sales mix shift as sales through indirect channels continue to grow, which are at lower margins than website sales directly to the consumer.

·   Our operating income increased by 19% from $28,137 in 2011 to $33,491 in 2012.  Our operating margin percentage decreased from 16% in 2011 to 13% in 2012. The decrease in operating margin was due primarily to (1) an $11,497 non-cash charge for the impairment of goodwill and an intangible trademark asset recorded during the fourth quarter of 2012; (2) charges incurred related to the departure of former CEO, Robert Pedersen II; and (3) an increase in compensation expense related to increased headcount and compensation adjustments for key executives. These 2012 charges were partially offset by charges incurred during 2011 that did not recur in 2012 including (1) $1,947 in cost incurred related to the acquisition of iFrogz; and (2) an impairment of $1,489 recorded on a note receivable.

·   Our full year 2012 fully diluted earnings per share attributable to stockholders decreased by 27% over 2011. The decrease is primarily related to the $11,497 non-cash charge recorded during the fourth quarter of 2012 to impair goodwill and an intangible trademark asset. From 2011 to 2012, the number of shares used in the fully diluted earnings per share calculation increased by 9% from 29,082 in 2011 to 31,656 in 2012.

25

Our strategic business objectives for 2013 include the following:

·   Continue to design creative product solutions for users of mobile devices;

·   expand the distribution of our products through targeted, global distribution partners;

·   become the preferred brand through the innovation and quality of our products;

·   focus on our international sales opportunities through our distribution facility in Ireland that will enable us to better serve our worldwide customer base;

·   increase the number of SKUs with our existing customers from products under both the ZAGG and iFrogz brands; and

·   continue to grow our traffic and sales through our websites www.ZAGG.com and www.iFrogz.com.

We intend for the following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations to provide information that will assist in understanding our consolidated financial statements, the changes in certain key items in those financial statements from period to period, and the primary factors that accounted for those changes, as well as how certain accounting principles, policies and estimates affect our consolidated financial statements.

Critical Accounting Policies (in thousands)

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S. GAAP).  The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make 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, we evaluate our estimates based 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.  Significant estimates include the allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory reserve, sales returns liability, the useful life of property and equipment, the useful life of intangible assets, the recoverability of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets, the fair value of the investment in HzO, stock-based compensation, and income taxes.

An accounting policy is deemed to be critical if it requires an accounting estimate to be made based on assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time the estimate is made, if different estimates reasonably may have been used, or if changes in the estimate that are reasonably likely to occur may materially impact the financial statements.  Management believes the following critical accounting policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

Revenue recognition

The Company records revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, product delivery has occurred, the sales price to the customer is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured.  The Company’s revenue is derived from sales of our products through our indirect channel, including retailers and distributors; through our direct channel including www.ZAGG.com, www.iFrogz.com, and our corporate-owned and third-party-owned mall kiosks; and from the fees derived from the sale of exclusive independent distributor licenses related to the kiosk program.  For sales of product, our standard shipping terms are FOB shipping point, and we record revenue when the product is shipped, net of estimated returns and discounts.  For some customers, the contractual shipping terms are FOB destination.  For these shipments, we record revenue when the product is delivered, net of estimated returns and discounts.  For license fees, we recognize revenue on a straight-line basis over the life of the license term. The Company records revenue from royalty agreements in the period in which the royalty is earned.

Promotional products given to customers or potential customers are recognized as a cost of sales. Cash incentives provided to our customers are recognized as a reduction of the related sale price, and, therefore, are a reduction in sales.

Reserve for sales returns and warranty liability

For product sales, the Company records revenue, net of estimated returns and discounts, when products are shipped and the customer takes ownership and assumes risk of loss, collection of the relevant receivable is probable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists and the sales price is fixed or determinable. Our return policy generally allows its end users and retailers to return purchased products.  In addition, the Company generally provides the ultimate consumer a warranty with each product.  Due to the nature of the invisibleSHIELD product line, returns for the invisibleSHIELD are generally not salvageable and are not included in inventory.  We estimate a reserve for sales returns and warranty and record the estimated reserve amount as a reduction of sales, and as a sales return reserve liability.  The estimate for sales returns and warranty requires management to make significant estimates regarding return rates for sales and warranty returns.  Historical experience, actual claims, and customer return rights are the key factors used in determining the estimated sales return and warranty reserve.

26

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

We provide customary credit terms to our customers. We perform ongoing credit evaluations of the financial condition of our customers and maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon historical collections experience and judgments as to expected collectability of accounts. Our actual bad debts may differ from our estimates.

Valuation of Note Receivable

We engaged independent third-party appraisal firms to assist us in determining the fair values of collateral of the note receivable.  Such valuations require significant estimates and assumptions. Management determined the value of the 80 shares of ZAGG common stock held by Mr. Harmer based on quoted market prices. The real estate holdings securing the note receivable were valued primarily based on the sales comparison approach as sales of comparable properties were utilized. The investments in real estate companies were valued utilizing comparable market sales, a discounted cash flow analysis, and other appropriate valuation methodologies.

Management’s estimates of fair value are based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable, but which are inherently uncertain and unpredictable and, as a result, actual results may differ from estimates.

Inventories

In assessing the realization of inventories, we are required to make judgments as to future demand requirements and to compare these with current inventory levels. When the market value of inventory is less than the carrying value, the inventory cost is written down to the estimated net realizable value thereby establishing a new cost basis. Our inventory requirements may change based on our projected customer demand, market conditions, technological and product life cycle changes, longer or shorter than expected usage periods, and other factors that could affect the valuation of our inventories.

Income taxes

Deferred income tax assets are reviewed for recoverability, and valuation allowances are provided, when necessary, to reduce deferred income tax assets to the amounts that are more likely than not to be realized based on our estimate of future taxable income. Should our expectations of taxable income change in future periods, it may be necessary to establish a valuation allowance, which could affect our results of operations in the period such a determination is made. We record income tax provision or benefit during interim periods at a rate that is based on expected results for the full year. If future changes in market conditions cause actual results for the year to be more or less favorable than those expected, adjustments to the effective income tax rate could be required.

The Company recognizes the effect of income tax positions only if those positions are more likely than not of being sustained. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized. The determination of the realization of certain income tax positions is subject to significant estimates based upon the facts and circumstances of each position.

Long-lived Assets

We have significant long-lived tangible and intangible assets consisting of property and equipment, definite-lived intangibles, indefinite-lived intangibles, an investment in HzO (an entity engaged in the development of water-blocking technologies for consumer and industrial applications), and goodwill. We review these assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. In addition, we perform an impairment test related to indefinite-lived intangibles and goodwill at least annually. Our goodwill and intangible assets are largely attributable to our acquisition of iFrogz.

At least annually and when events and circumstances warrant an evaluation, we perform our impairment assessment of goodwill. This assessment initially permits an entity to make a qualitative assessment of whether it is more likely than not that a reporting unit’s fair value is less than its carrying amount before applying the two-step goodwill impairment test. If an entity can support the conclusion that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, it would not need to perform the two-step impairment test for the reporting unit.

27

However, if it is determined that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, the two step analysis is performed, which incorporated a fair-value based approach. We determine the fair value of our reporting unit based on discounted cash flows and market approach analyses as considered necessary, and consider factors such as a weakened economy, reduced expectations for future cash flows coupled with a decline in the market price of our stock and market capitalization for a sustained period as indicators for potential goodwill impairment. If the reporting unit’s carrying amount exceeds its estimated fair value, a second step must be performed to measure the amount of the goodwill impairment loss, if any. The second step compares the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill, determined in the same manner as the amount of goodwill recognized in a business combination, with the carrying amount of such goodwill. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of that goodwill, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess.

Indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested for impairment annually, or, more frequently upon the occurrence of a triggering event. The Company evaluates the recoverability of indefinite-lived intangible assets by comparing the indefinite-lived intangible assets book value to its estimated fair value. The fair value for indefinite-lived intangible assets is determined by performing cash flow analysis and other market evaluations. If the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible assets is less than book value, the difference is recognized as an impairment loss.

We test our investment in HzO each reporting period to determine whether HzO’s operations or other factors indicate that the investment in HzO is impaired. When indicators of impairment exist, we measure the fair value of our investments in HzO and compare the fair value to the carrying value. The determination of the amount of impairment, if any, is based upon the difference between the asset’s carrying value and estimated fair value. Fair value is determined through various valuation techniques, including market and income approaches as considered necessary.

We assess other long-lived assets, specifically definite-lived intangibles and property, plant and equipment, for potential impairment based on similar impairment indicators. When indicators of impairment exist related to our long-lived tangible assets and definite-lived intangible assets, we use an estimate of the undiscounted net cash flows in measuring whether the carrying amount of the assets is recoverable. Measurement of the amount of impairment, if any, is based upon the difference between the asset’s carrying value and estimated fair value. Fair value is determined through various valuation techniques, including market and income approaches as considered necessary.

If forecasts and assumptions used to support the realizability of our goodwill and other long-lived assets change in the future, significant impairment charges could result that would adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

Stock-based compensation

The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense in its consolidated financial statements for awards granted to employees and non-employees under its stock incentive plan, which include restricted stock and stock options.  Equity-classified awards are measured at the grant date fair value of the award. The fair value of stock options is measured on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model (BSM), which involves the use of assumptions such as expected volatility, expected term, dividend rate, and risk-free rate.  Volatility is a key factor used to determine the fair value of stock options in the BSM.  Based on the expected term of the award, if the Company does not have sufficient historical data or implied volatility information to determine volatility based upon its own information, the Company uses significant judgment to identify a peer group and determine the appropriate weighting in order to estimate a volatility rate for use in the BSM.

On March 30, 2012, the Company implemented a new incentive program for non-executive employees that provides for the issuance of a fixed amount of restricted stock to eligible employees if certain annual financial targets are reached. These targets were reached for the 2012 fiscal year, thus these restricted shares will be transferred to employees during March 2013.

Business Combinations

We allocate the purchase price of acquired companies to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. The excess of the purchase price over these fair values is recorded as goodwill.  We engaged independent third-party appraisal firms to assist us in determining the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed.  Such valuations require management to make significant estimates and assumptions, especially with respect to intangible assets. The significant purchased classes of intangible assets recorded by us include customer relationships, trademarks, non-compete agreements, developed technology, patents, and backlog. The fair values assigned to the identified intangible assets are discussed in Note 2 to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Critical estimates in valuing certain intangible assets include but are not limited to: future expected cash flows related to each individual asset, market position of the trademarks, as well as assumptions about cash flow savings from the trademarks, and discount rates. Management’s estimates of fair value are based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable, but which are inherently uncertain and unpredictable and, as a result, actual results may differ from estimates.

 YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2012, AS COMPARED TO THE YEAR ENDED DECMEBER 31, 2011 (in thousands, except per share data)

Net sales

Net sales for the year ended December 31, 2012, were $264,425 compared to net sales of $179,125 for the year ended December 31, 2011, an increase of $85,300 or 48%.

For the year ended December 31, 2012, sales of our invisibleSHIELD product line accounted for approximately 46% of our revenues, compared to 58% in 2011, which represents an increase in total dollar sales increased year over year. Sales in 2012 of our keyboard line accounted for approximately 24% of our revenues, compared to 17% in 2011.  We have experienced significant growth in our indirect channel to retailers including Best Buy, Walmart, Target, Radio Shack, and Staples; wireless carriers such as AT&T, Sprint, Verizon, T-Mobile, Cricket, Cincinnati Bell, and The Carphone Warehouse; and both domestic and foreign electronics accessory distributors.  We are still focused on distribution through our mall kiosk program and through our websites, www.ZAGG.com and www.iFrogz.com, but the significant growth for 2012 was through our indirect channel as we began selling through additional customers and expanded our SKU count with our current customers.  For the year ended December 31, 2012, approximately 82% of our overall net sales were through our indirect channel, 13% were through our website, and 5% were through our mall cart and kiosk programs.

Cost of sales

Cost of sales includes raw materials, finished goods purchased from manufacturers, packing materials, and shipping and fulfillment costs.  For the year ended December 31, 2012, cost of sales amounted to $143,880 or approximately 54% of net sales compared to cost of sales of $97,201 or 54% of net sales for the year ended December 31, 2011.  Our consistent cost of sales percentage is primarily the result of year-over-year changes in acquisition related charges, and in operational decisions made to meet customer needs and grow our business. During 2011, management incurred charges through cost of sales related to the write-up of iFrogz inventory at acquisition. These charges all occurred in 2011, and thus increased 2011 cost of sales compared to 2012. This was offset by the following items that increased cost of sales during 2012 compared to 2011:  (1) an increase airfreight shipping costs incurred during 2012 primarily linked to product releases; (2) the continued product sales mix shift, as a higher percentage of our total sales were generated by lower margin products such as our keyboard, audio, and case products compared to prior years where a higher percentage of sales were generated by our invisibleSHIELD products, our highest margin products; and (3) the continued channel sales mix shift as sales through indirect channels continued to grow, which are at lower-margins than website sales directly to the consumer.

Gross profit

Gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2012, was $120,545 or approximately 46% of net sales as compared to $81,924 or approximately 46% of net sales for the year ended December 31, 2011.  Our consistent gross profit percentage is primarily the result of year-over-year changes in acquisition related charges, and in operational decisions made to meet customer needs and grow our business. During 2011, management incurred charges through cost of sales related to the write-up of iFrogz inventory at acquisition. As noted, these charges all occurred in 2011 and thus decreased 2011 gross profit compared to 2012. This was offset by the following items that decreased gross profit during 2012 compared to 2011:  (1) an increase airfreight shipping costs incurred during 2012 primarily linked to product releases; (2) the continued product sales mix shift, as a higher percentage of our total sales were generated by lower margin products such as our keyboard, audio, and case products compared to prior years where a higher percentage of sales were generated by our invisibleSHIELD products, our highest margin products; and (3) the continued channel sales mix shift as sales through indirect channels continue to grow, which are at lower-margins than website sales directly to the consumer.

As we continue to grow our business, we anticipate that we will have increased sales through indirect channel partners and that our sales of keyboard, audio, case, and products in new categories will increase more quickly than our invisibleSHIELD product sales. Thus, we expect these factors to put pressure on our gross profit percentage in future periods. There are no assurances that we will continue to recognize similar gross profit margins in the future.

Operating expenses

Total operating expenses for year ended December 31, 2012, were $87,054, an increase of $33,267 from total operating expenses for year ended December 31, 2011, of $53,787.  The increases are primarily attributable to the following:

·   For the year ended December 31, 2012, marketing, advertising and promotion expenses were $12,495, an increase of $2,249, as compared to $10,246, for the year ended December 31, 2011.  We invested heavily in advertising for key 2012 product launches including the invisibleSHIELD HD, invisibleSHIELD EXTREME, ZAGGkeys PRO, the ZAGGkeys Pro Plus, the ZAGGkeys MINI 7, ZAGGkeys MINI 9, ZAGGkeys PROfolio, ZAGGkeys PROfolio+, the ZAGGsparq family of mobile power options, the iFrogz Boost & Boost Plus, Caliber gaming headsets, and the Animatone line of audio accessories for young children. We expect our marketing and advertising expenses to continue to be a significant expenditure as our revenues increase and expect to spend increased funds on advertising and promotion of our products as well as sales training. During fiscal 2013, we intend to continue to expand our marketing efforts related to our existing products and for our new product introductions.

·   During the fourth quarter of 2012, we made a significant adjustment in brand strategy by placing greater focus on promoting our core brands, ZAGG and iFrogz, in an effort to improve brand clarity with consumers. As a result of this adjustment in brand focus and lower stock price, the Company conducted an impairment analysis that resulted in a non-cash impairment charge of $11,497 related to the EarPollution trademark and goodwill from the iFrogz acquisition. No impairment charges were incurred during 2011.

·   For the year ended December 31, 2012, amortization expense was $9,732, an increase of $5,783 as compared to $3,949 for the year ended December 31, 2011.  The increase is directly attributable to amortization expense on intangibles acquired as part of the acquisition of iFrogz in the second quarter of 2011, which are being amortized on an accelerated basis. As the acquisition occurred on June 21, 2011, only approximately six months of amortization was recorded in 2011, while twelve months of amortization was recorded in 2012.

·   For the year ended December 31, 2012, salaries and related taxes, including share-based payment expense, increased by $10,480 to $25,411 from $14,931 for the year ended December 31, 2011. The increases in this category from 2011 to 2012 were related to the following:  (1) increase in stock compensation expense from $3,258 in 2011 to $6,018 in 2012, from executive stock compensation awards and a Company-wide grant of stock compensation awards; (2) our consolidated company headcount increased from 261 employees to 273 (though 49 of the 261 employees at the beginning of 2012 were part of the iFrogz acquisition and thus were only part of the Company for approximately half of 2011) – this increase and a full-year with the iFrogz employees caused the overall increase in this expense category; (3) $910 in employment termination expenses incurred in the third quarter of 2012 related to the departure of former CEO, Robert Pedersen II; (4) a new company-wide bonus program that commenced in March 2012; and (5) 2012 executive compensation salary adjustments.

·   For the year ended December 31, 2012, other selling, general and administrative expenses, net of salaries and related taxes described above, were $27,919 compared to $24,661 for the year ended December 31, 2011.  The changes by category are summarized in the table below:

30

	Year Ended December 30, 2012		Year Ended December 30, 2011
Professional fees	$	3,952	$	3,546
iFrogz transaction fees		-		1,947
Rent		1,615		1,001
Credit card and bank fees		1,878		1,451
Commissions		6,284		4,146
Depreciation		1,760		985
Other		12,430		11,585
Total	$	27,919	$	24,661

The increase in professional fees is due to legal expenses incurred related to the defense of our patents, legal fees associated with the class action lawsuits, and increased accounting fees incurred in 2012. Rents increased due primarily to expanding the number of suites occupied at the corporate offices in Salt Lake City, Utah. Commissions and credit card and bank fees increased consistent with the overall increase in sales.  Depreciation increased due to the addition of equipment and the completion of certain leasehold improvements at the corporate offices in Salt Lake City. The increase in “Other” relates to additional expenses incurred as a result of the overall increase in headcount and operations, including increases in health insurance costs, employee costs, bad debt expense, supplies, postage and delivery, utilities, investor relations and the fact that 2012 includes a full-year of iFrogz expenses while 2011 only includes approximately six months. These increases were offset by $1,489 in expense incurred in 2011 related to the impairment on the note receivable where no similar charge was incurred in 2012.

Income from operations

We reported income from operations of $33,491 for the year ended December 31, 2012, compared to income from operations of $28,137 for the year ended December 31, 2011, an increase of $5,354.  Included in 2012 income from operations is a non-cash impairment charge of $11,497 recorded in the fourth quarter of 2012. Excluding this non-cash charge, income from operations would have been $44,988, an increase of $16,851 compared to 2011. The increased income from operations for the year ended December 31, 2012, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2011, is primarily attributable to the overall increase in net sales of our invisibleSHIELD, keyboard, audio, and case product lines; expanded distribution through our indirect channel partners, online, and through our cart owners; a full year of iFrogz operations during 2012 (only six months of operations in 2011), which was partially offset by a decrease in gross profit due to the continued shift in our product and channel sales mix.

Other income (expense)

For the year ended December 31, 2012, total other expense was $9,593 compared to total other expense of $1,135 for the year ended December 31, 2011. The increase is primarily due to (1) approximately a full-year of interest expense under our previous debt agreement with PNC and Cerberus that was incurred at the time of the iFrogz acquisition on June 21, 2011, while 2011 only had approximately six months of interest expense, (2) a charge of $430 paid to PNC and Cerberus to terminate the credit agreement when the Company refinanced with Wells Fargo, which is classified as a component of interest expense in the consolidated financials, (3) a non-cash charge of $1,509 related to the write-off of debt issuance costs when the Company terminated its credit agreement with PNC and Cerberus and entered into a new credit agreement with Wells Fargo, which is classified as part of interest expense, and (4) a loss from our equity method investment in HzO of $2,866.

Income taxes

We recognized an income tax expense of $9,393 for the year ended December 31, 2012, compared to income tax expense of $9,418 for the year ended December 31, 2011.  From 2011 to 2012, our effective tax rate increased from 34.9% to 39.3%. Due to the reduction in income before tax during the year, which was primarily related to the $11.5 impairment charge, the impact of applying a valuation allowance to the loss on equity method investment in HzO and a decrease in the domestic manufacturing deduction percentage were much more pronounced during the year than they would have otherwise been.

Net income

As a result of these factors, we reported net income attributable to stockholders of $14,505 or $0.46 per diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2012, compared to net income attributable to stockholders of $18,248 or $0.63 per diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2011.

31

YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2011, AS COMPARED TO THE YEAR ENDED DECMEBER 31, 2010 (in thousands, except per share data)

Net sales

Net sales for the year ended December 31, 2011 were $179,125 compared to net sales of $76,135 for the year ended December 31, 2010, an increase of $102,990 or 135%.

For the year ended December 31, 2011, sales of our invisibleSHIELD product line accounted for approximately 58% of our revenues.  We have experienced significant growth in our indirect channel to Big Box retailers including Best Buy, Walmart, Target and Radio Shack; wireless carriers such as AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, Sprint, The Carphone Warehouse and Cricket; and both domestic and foreign electronics accessory distributors.  We are still focused on distribution through our mall kiosk program and through our websites www.ZAGG.com and www.iFrogz.com, but the significant growth for 2011 was through our indirect channel as we began selling through additional customers and expanded our SKU count with our current customers.  For the year ended December 31, 2011, approximately 78% of our overall net sales were through our indirect channel, 15% were through our website, 6% were through our mall cart and kiosk programs and 1% were from shipping and handling charges.

Cost of sales

Cost of sales includes raw materials, packing materials and shipping and fulfillment costs.  For the year ended December 31, 2011, cost of sales amounted to $97,201 or approximately 54% of net sales compared to cost of sales of $38,738 or 51% of net sales for the year ended December 31, 2010.  The increase in cost of sales as a percentage of net revenues for the year ended December 31, 2011, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2010, is due to the write-up of inventory related to the iFrogz acquisition of $4,506, which was recorded through cost of sales when the inventory was sold during 2011, and a continued sales mix shift, as a higher percentage of our total sales was comprised of sales through our indirect channels, which are at lower-margins than website sales directly to the consumer.

Gross profit

Gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2011 was $81,924 or approximately 46% of net sales as compared to $37,397 or approximately 49% of net sales for the year ended December 31, 2010.  The decrease in gross profit percentage is due to the write-up of inventory related to the iFrogz acquisition of $4,506, which was recorded through cost of sales when the inventory was sold during 2011, and a continued sales mix shift, as a higher percentage of our total sales was comprised of sales through our indirect channels, which are at lower margins than website sales directly to the consumer.  As we continue to grow our business, we anticipate that we will have increased sales to our indirect customers which will continue to put pressure on our gross profit margins.  There are no assurances that we will continue to recognize similar gross profit margins in the future.

Operating expenses

Total operating expenses for year ended December 31, 2011, were $53,787, an increase of $33,204 from total operating expenses for year ended December 31, 2010, of $20,583.  The increases are primarily attributable to the following:

·   For the year ended December 31, 2011, marketing, advertising and promotion expenses were $10,246, an increase of $5,179, as compared to $5,067, for the year ended December 31, 2010.  We invested heavily in advertising for the keyboard product line, in online advertising, and in print and radio advertisements during the year.  We expect our marketing and advertising expenses to continue to be a significant expenditure as our revenues increase and expect to spend increased funds on advertising and promotion of our products as well as sales training. During fiscal 2012, we intend to continue to expand our marketing efforts related to our existing products and for our new product introductions.

·   For the year ended December 31, 2011, salaries and related taxes increased by $8,542 to $14,931 from $6,389 for the year ended December 31, 2010, which includes $3,258 in expenses related to the issuance of common stock and options to our employees.  From 2010 to 2011, our consolidated company headcount increased from 181 employees to 261, which significantly impacted the overall increase in this expense category. In addition, the Company incurred $1,560 in share-based payment expense recorded in Q2 2011 related to the modification of a previously granted stock option.

·   For the year ended December 31, 2011, other selling, general and administrative expenses, net of salaries and related taxes described above, were $28,610 compared to $9,127 for the year ended December 31, 2010.  The changes by category are summarized in the table below:

32

	Year Ended December 30, 2011		Year Ended December 31, 2010
Professional fees	$	3,546	$	1,214
iFrogz transaction fees		1,947		-
Rent		1,001		911
Credit card and bank fees		1,451		788
Commissions		4,146		1,751
Depreciation & amortization		4,934		365
Other		11,585		4,098
Total	$	28,610	$	9,127

The increase in professional fees is due to legal expenses incurred related to the defense of our patents, legal work incurred in connection with negotiating the Logitech agreement, legal fees associated with the valuation and repossession of assets that collateralize the note receivable, and accounting fees incurred related to our change of auditors.  Commissions were also up on a comparison basis due to the strong sales of the ZAGGmate product online, continued growth through indirect accounts for which we utilize a third-party sales company, and commissions incurred related to sales at the iFrogz segment.  Depreciation and amortization increased significantly due to the amortization of intangible assets related to the acquisition of iFrogz and the depreciation of iFrogz assets. The increase in “Other” relates to additional expenses incurred as a result of (1) the ZAGG segment’s overall increase in headcount and operations, including increases in health insurance costs, employee costs, bad debt expense, supplies, postage and delivery, utilities, and investor relations;  (2) $1,489 in expense incurred in connection with an impairment recorded on the note receivable; (3) six months of expenses at the iFrogz segment; and (4) an overall increase in operations and loss at the HzO segment compared to the prior year, including amortization of intangibles of $972.

Income from operations

We reported income from operations of $28,137 for the year ended December 31, 2011, compared to income from operations of $16,814 for the year ended December 31, 2010, an increase of $11,323.  The increased income from operations for the year ended December 31, 2011, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2010, is primarily attributable to the overall increase in net sales of our invisibleSHIELD product line, the addition of the keyboard product line, increases in sales across other consumer electronics accessory lines, and the addition of iFrogz operations during 2011, which was partially offset by a decrease in gross profit with the sales mix shift toward the indirect channel.

Other income (expense)

For the year ended December 31, 2011, total other expense was $1,135 compared to other expense of $236 for the year ended December 31, 2010.  The increase is primarily due to an increase in interests expense from debt entered into to acquire iFrogz, which was partially offset by the gain recognized on the deconsolidation of HzO.

Income taxes

We recognized an income tax expense of $9,418 for the year ended December 31, 2011, compared to income tax expense of $6,650 for the year ended December 31, 2010. From 2010 to 2011, our effective tax rate decreased from 40.1% to 34.9% due to changes in permanent items included in our 2011 income tax provision compared to 2010. The significant change include the following:  (1) impact of gain on deconsolidation of HzO, (2) an increase in the domestic production activities deduction, (3) a reduction in return to provision adjustments, (4) no interest and penalties recorded in the 2011 provision, (5) no federal rate surcharge in 2011, and (6) a number of other items that favorably impacted the 2011 tax rate on a net basis.

Net income

As a result of these factors, we reported net income attributable to stockholders of $18,248 or $0.63 per diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2011, compared to net income attributable to stockholders of $9,963 or $0.41 per diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Liquidity and Capital Resources (in thousands)

At December 31, 2012, our principle sources of liquidity were cash generated by operations, cash on-hand, and the issuance of a Term Loan and Line of Credit with Wells Fargo. Our principle uses of cash have been to fund working capital requirements and the continued growth of the business.

Cash and cash equivalents on-hand decreased to $20,177 on December 31, 2012, from $26,433 on December 31, 2011, a decrease of $6,256. The decrease in cash is largely the result of positive cash from operations during 2012, offset by $27,000 in payments on debt during the first quarter of 2012. Earnings from foreign operations are considered permanently re-invested and of the $20,177 cash balance on December 31, 2012, cash from foreign entities totaled $3,531, which constitutes 17.5% of the total cash and cash equivalents balance.

At December 31, 2012, we had an income tax payable balance of $3,062.

At December 31, 2012, we had working capital of $89,369 compared to $74,490 as of December 31, 2011.

Based on our current level of operations, we believe that cash generated from operations, cash on hand, and available borrowings under our existing credit arrangements will be adequate to meet our currently expected capital expenditures and working capital needs for the next 12 months and beyond.

Debt and Letters of Credit

On December 7, 2012, the Company and Wells Fargo entered into a two-year, $84.0 million Credit Agreement, consisting of a $24.0 million Term Loan and a $60.0 million Line of Credit, which Line of Credit includes a letter of credit sub-feature that allows the Company to issue standby commercial letters of credit against the Line of Credit, not to exceed at any time an aggregate of $10.0 million. As of December 31, 2012, the Company had an outstanding balance of $24.0 million on the Term Loan and an outstanding balance of $22.2 million on the Line of Credit.

The Term Loan requires quarterly payments of $2,000,000 payable on the first day of each quarter commencing on April 1, 2013, and continuing up to and including October 1, 2014. A final installment payment consisting of the remaining unpaid balance is due on December 1, 2014. A mandatory principal payment of $500,000 is required for each fiscal quarter in which total liabilities to tangible net worth (as those terms are defined in the Credit Agreement) exceeds 1.50 to 1.00, commencing with the Company’s fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2012. At December 31, 2012, no mandatory principal payment was required.

Borrowings and repayments under the Line of Credit may occur from time to time in the Company’s ordinary course of business from December 7, 2012, through December 1, 2014.  Any outstanding borrowings under the Line of Credit mature and are due on December 1, 2014.

The outstanding principal balance of the Term Loan initially bears interest (computed on the basis of a 360-day year, actual days elapsed) at a fluctuating rate per annum determined to be sum of the (1) LIBOR margin (with the initial LIBOR margin being set at 1.25%) and (2) Daily Three Month LIBOR (as defined above) in effect from time to time.  Pursuant to the Term Loan, each change in the rate of interest will become effective on each business day on which a change in Daily Three Month LIBOR is announced by Wells Fargo.  Commencing December 31, 2012, the outstanding principal balance of the Term Note will bear interest (computed on the basis of a 360-day year, actual days elapsed) at a fixed rate per annum determined by the Bank to be the sum of the (1) LIBOR margin (with the initial LIBOR margin being set at 1.25%) and (2) LIBOR in effect on the first day of each Fixed Rate Term (as defined in the Credit Agreement).

The outstanding principal balance under the Line of Credit bears interest (computed on the basis of a 360-day year, actual days elapsed) at a fluctuating rate per annum determined to be the sum of the (1) LIBOR margin (with the initial LIBOR margin being set at 1.25%) and (2) Daily Three Month LIBOR (as defined below) in effect from time to time.  Pursuant to the Line of Credit Note, each change in the rate of interest will become effective on each business day on which a change in Daily Three Month LIBOR is announced by Wells Fargo.

At December 31, 2012, the weighted average interest rate on all outstanding borrowings under the Term Loan and Line of Credit was 1.63%.  At December 31, 2012, the effective interest rate was 2.31%.

At December 31, 2012, the Company was in compliance with covenants associated with the Credit Agreement.

On December 7, 2012, with the proceeds from the Credit Agreement, the Company paid off the outstanding debt with Cerberus Business Finance, LLC (“Cerberus”) and PNC Bank National Association (“PNC”), and the previous debt agreement with Cerberus and PNC was terminated.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of December 31, 2012, there were no off balance sheet arrangements.

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, although there can be no guarantee that these market risks will be immaterial to us.

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, 2012.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

1.   Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), as of December 31, 2012.  Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this Report, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective and were designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be included in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported as specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.

2.   Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

During the fourth quarter of 2011, management determined that we lacked a sufficient number of accounting and IT professionals with the necessary experience and training, which resulted in the Company having a material weakness in internal controls over financial reporting at December 31, 2011.

However, during the year ended December 31, 2012, we implemented the following changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected our internal control over financial reporting:

•   We have hired additional accounting and IT professionals with the necessary experience and training.

•   We have reviewed key accounting, IT, and operational processes to ensure that controls within the processes are designed and implemented considering the continued growth of the Company.

•   We reviewed our information systems and related controls to provide assurance that they effectively and efficiently capture and process data.

•   We have completed our internal testing of the operating effectiveness of internal controls and concluded that controls were effective at December 31, 2012.

Due to the remedial actions described above, management has concluded the material weakness at December 31, 2011, has been remediated and that internal controls over financial reporting were effective at the reasonable assurance level at December 31, 2012.

3.   Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:

·   pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;

·   provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles;

·   provide reasonable assurance that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorization of our management and directors; and

·   provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of assets that could have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on  the framework in "Internal Control—Integrated Framework" issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

Based on this evaluation, our management determined that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective and designed to provide reasonable assurance that  information required to be included in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported as specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.

Our independent registered public accounting firm, KPMG LLP, has issued an attestation report on our internal control over financial reporting, which is included at 9A.5 below.

4.   Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls

Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives.  Nevertheless, an internal control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system reflects the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls are considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the internal control. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

5.   REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders

ZAGG Inc:

We have audited ZAGG Inc’s internal control over financial reporting as of December, 31, 2012 based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). ZAGG Inc’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting (Item 9A.3). Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit 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 effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. 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.

In our opinion, ZAGG Inc maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of ZAGG Inc and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2012, and our report dated March 18, 2013 expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Stockholders

ZAGG Inc:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of ZAGG Inc and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2012. 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 ZAGG Inc and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2012, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), ZAGG Inc’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO), and our report dated March 18, 2013 expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

(1)  ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Company

We were formed as a Nevada corporation on April 2, 2004, under the name Amerasia Khan Enterprises Ltd (“AKE”).  On February 8, 2007, AKE executed an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) by and between AKE and its wholly owned subsidiary, SZC Acquisition, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Subsidiary”) on the one hand, and ShieldZone Corporation, a Utah corporation (“ShieldZone”) on the other hand. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, ShieldZone merged with Subsidiary, with ShieldZone surviving the merger and Subsidiary ceasing to exist (the “Merger”).

Following the Merger, ShieldZone was reincorporated in Nevada as a subsidiary of AKE. On March 7, 2007, ShieldZone was merged into AKE and AKE changed its name to ZAGG Incorporated. As a result of these transactions, the historical financial statements of ZAGG Incorporated are the historical financial statements of ShieldZone.

We changed our name from ShieldZone Corporation to ZAGG Incorporated to better position the company to become a large enterprise in the electronics’ accessories industry through organic growth and through making targeted acquisitions.  The ShieldZone name was very specific to the invisibleSHIELD product line, and although the invisibleSHIELD® is a core product, the name change has brought us the opportunity to easily add new products to our product offering. During 2011, we changed our name from ZAGG Incorporated to ZAGG Inc.

On June 21, 2011, ZAGG acquired 100% of the outstanding shares of iFrogz, which further diversified the existing ZAGG product line, particularly for audio and protective case accessories.

The Company designs, produces, and distributes creative product solutions such as protective coverings, keyboards, keyboard cases, earbuds, mobile power solutions, and device cleaning accessories for mobile devices under the family of ZAGG brands. Within the family of ZAGG brand are products sold under the following brand names:  invisibleSHIELD®, ZAGGskins™, ZAGGbuds™, ZAGGsparq™, ZAGGfolio™, ZAGGmate™, ZAGGkeys™, ZAGGkeys PRO™, ZAGGkeys PRO Plus™, ZAGGkeys PROfolio, ZAGGkeys PROfolio+, ZAGGkeys MINI 7, and ZAGGkeys MINI 9.

In addition, the Company designs, produces, and distributes cases, Near-Field Audio™ amplifying speakers, earbuds, traditional headphones, and gaming headphones for mobile devices under the family of iFrogz brands in the value-priced lifestyle sector. Within the iFrogz brand are products sold under the following brand names: iFrogz™, Earpollution™, Caliber™, and Animatone™.

Use of estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“US GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.  Significant items subject to such estimates include the allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory reserve, sales returns liability, the useful life of property and equipment, the useful life of intangible assets, the recoverability of goodwill and intangible assets, the fair value of the investment in HzO, Inc. (“HzO”), stock-based compensation, and income taxes.  These estimates and assumptions are based on management’s best estimates and judgment. Management evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors, including the economic environment, which management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Management adjusts such estimates and assumptions when facts and circumstances dictate an adjustment is necessary.

(Dollars, units, & shares in thousands, except per share data)

Principles of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of ZAGG Inc and its wholly owned subsidiaries ZAGG International Distribution Limited (“ZAGG International”), ZAGG Intellectual Property Holding Co, Inc., ZAGG Retail, Inc., iFrogz, Inc., and iFrogz Europe SAS (“iFrogz Europe”). All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

At December 31, 2010, HzO was consolidated by the Company as a variable interest entity (VIE).  On December 22, 2011, HzO entered into an Amended Series B Stock Purchase Agreement with a group of third party investors. ZAGG considered this a reconsideration event and concluded that as of December 22, 2011, HzO should no longer be considered a VIE under authoritative accounting literature, but was considered a voting interest entity. Ultimately, management concluded that HzO should no longer be consolidated into the ZAGG financials as of December 31, 2011. This transaction and the related accounting is discussed in detail at Note 5, Investment in HzO and Noncontrolling Interest. Since December 22, 2011, management has accounted for its investment in HzO as an equity method investment. HzO is a private company engaged in the development of water-blocking technologies for consumer and industrial applications.

Cash equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.  Amounts receivable from credit card processors are also considered cash equivalents because they are both short-term and highly liquid in nature and are typically converted to cash within three days of the sales transaction. Amounts receivable from credit card processors at December 31, 2012 and 2011 totaled $21 and $362, respectively. Cash equivalents as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, consisted primarily of money market fund investments and amounts receivable from credit card processors.

Fair value measurements

The Company measures at fair value certain financial and non-financial assets by using a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, essentially an exit price, based on the highest and best use of the asset or liability. The levels of the fair value hierarchy are:

Level 1 — Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2 — Significant other observable inputs (e.g., quoted prices for similar items in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar items in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable such as interest rate and yield curves, and market-corroborated inputs); and

Level 3 — Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting unit to develop its own assumptions.

Accounts receivable

The Company sells its products to end users through indirect distribution channels and other resellers who are extended credit terms after an analysis of their financial condition and credit worthiness.  Credit terms to distributors and resellers, when extended, are based on evaluation of the customers' financial condition.  Accounts receivable are recorded at invoiced amounts and do not bear interest.

The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of customers to make required payments.  Management regularly evaluates the allowance for doubtful accounts considering historical losses adjusted to take into account current market conditions, customers’ financial condition, receivables in dispute, receivables aging, and current payment patterns. Account balances are written off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote.  Payments subsequently received on written off receivables are credited to bad debt expense in the period of recovery.

(Dollars, units, & shares in thousands, except per share data)

The following summarizes the activity in the Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010:

	For the Year Ended December 31,

Recoveries of amounts previously charged off		—			—			—
Balance at end of year	$	2,974		$	2,070		$	904

Inventories

Inventories, consisting primarily of finished goods and raw materials, are valued at the lower of cost, determined on a first in, first out basis, or market.  Management performs periodic assessments to determine the existence of obsolete, slow moving, and non-saleable inventories, and records necessary write downs in cost of sales to reduce such inventories to net realizable value. Once established, the original cost of the inventory less the related inventory write down represents the new cost basis of such products.

Property and equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost.  Depreciation expense is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.  Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the useful life of the asset or the term of the lease.

Major additions and improvements are capitalized, while costs for minor replacements, maintenance and repairs that do not increase the useful life of an asset are expensed as incurred.  Upon retirement or other disposition of property and equipment, the cost and related accumulated depreciation or amortization are removed from the accounts.  The resulting gain or loss is reflected in selling, general and administrative expense.

Intangibles assets

Intangible assets include internet addresses, patents, intellectual property, and acquired intangibles in connection with the acquisition of iFrogz, which include customer relationships, trademarks, non-compete agreements, and other miscellaneous intangible assets.

Definite-lived intangible assets are amortized over their estimated economic lives, using a straight-line or accelerated method consistent with the underlying expected future cash flows related to the specific intangible asset.  Amortization expense is recorded within cost of sales or operating expense depending on the underlying intangible assets.

The sole indefinite-lived intangible asset at December 31, 2012 was the iFrogz trademark.

Impairment of long-lived assets

Long-lived assets, such as property and equipment, our investment in HzO, and definite-lived intangible assets, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If circumstances require a long-lived asset or asset group be tested for possible impairment, recoverability of long-lived assets is measured by comparison of its carrying amount to the undiscounted cash flows that the asset or asset group is expected to generate over the remaining life in measuring whether the assets are recoverable.  If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds its fair value.  Fair value is determined through various valuation techniques including discounted cash flow models, quoted market values and third-party independent appraisals, as considered necessary.

Impairment of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets

Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets carried on the balance sheet at December 31, 2012 were acquired as part of the acquisition of iFrogz on June 21, 2011. The Company does not amortize goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives.

At least annually and when events and circumstances warrant an evaluation, we perform an impairment assessment of goodwill. This assessment initially permits an entity to make a qualitative assessment of whether it is more likely than not that a reporting unit’s fair value is less than its carrying amount before applying the two-step goodwill impairment test. If an entity can support the conclusion that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, it would not need to perform the two-step impairment test for the reporting unit.

However, if it is determined that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, the two step analysis is performed, which incorporates a fair-value based approach. We determine the fair value of our reporting units based on discounted cash flows and market approach analyses as considered necessary, and consider factors such as a weakened economy, reduced expectations for future cash flows coupled with a decline in the market price of our stock and market capitalization for a sustained period as indicators for potential goodwill impairment. If the reporting unit’s carrying amount exceeds its estimated fair value, a second step must be performed to measure the amount of the goodwill impairment loss, if any. The second step compares the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill, determined in the same manner as the amount of goodwill recognized in a business combination, with the carrying amount of such goodwill. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of that goodwill, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess. During the fourth quarter of 2012, management recorded a goodwill impairment of $5,440. No impairments were recorded in 2011 or 2010.

Indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested for impairment annually, or, more frequently upon the occurrence of a triggering event. Initially, a qualitative analysis is performed to determine whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative impairment test for indefinite-lived intangible assets. A quantitative assessment is only performed if it is determined in the qualitative analysis that it is more likely than not that the asset is impaired.

If it is determined in the qualitative analysis that it is more likely than not that the asset is impaired, the Company evaluates the recoverability of an indefinite-lived intangible asset by comparing the indefinite-lived intangible asset’s book value to its estimated fair value. The fair value for indefinite-lived intangible assets is determined by performing cash flow analysis and other market evaluations. If the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible assets is less than book value, the difference is recognized as an impairment loss. During the fourth quarter of 2012, the Company made an important brand strategy adjustment to place greater emphasis on the promotion of our core brands, ZAGG and iFrogz. As a result of this decision, the Company determined that future cash flows under the EarPollution trademark would be less than previously estimated and that the trademark should be considered a definite-lived intangible asset. Management performed an impairment analysis and recorded an impairment of $5,917 related to the EarPollution trademark. As the trademark is now considered a definite-lived intangible, the Company will commence amortizing the trademark on an accelerated basis over an eight-year life consistent with our projected future cash flows from the trademark.  No impairments were recorded in 2011 or 2010.

The Company performs its goodwill and intangible asset impairment tests in the fourth quarter of each fiscal year. The Company established reporting units based on its current reporting structure. For purposes of testing goodwill for impairment, goodwill is assigned to a reporting unit.  All goodwill was assigned to the iFrogz reporting unit.

Contingencies

Liabilities for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines, and penalties and other sources are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated.  Legal costs incurred in connection with loss contingencies are expensed as incurred.

(Dollars, units, & shares in thousands, except per share data)

Revenue recognition

We record revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, product delivery has occurred, the sales price to the customer is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured.  Our revenue is derived from sales of our products through our indirect channel, including retailers and distributors; through our direct channel including www.ZAGG.com, www.iFrogz.com, and our corporate-owned and third-party-owned mall kiosks; and from the fees derived from the sale of exclusive independent distributor licenses related to the kiosk program.  For sales of product, our standard shipping terms are FOB shipping point, and we record revenue when the product is shipped, net of estimated returns and discounts.  For some customers, the contractual shipping terms are FOB destination.  For these shipments, we record revenue when the product is delivered, net of estimated returns and discounts.  For license fees, we recognize revenue on a straight-line basis over the life of the license term. We record revenue from royalty agreements in the period in which the royalty is earned.

Promotional products given to customers or potential customers are recognized as a cost of sales. Cash incentives provided to our customers are recognized as a reduction of the related sale price and, therefore, are a reduction in sales.

Reserve for sales returns and warranty liability

For product sales, the Company records revenue, net of estimated returns and discounts, when products are shipped and the customer takes ownership and assumes risk of loss, collection of the relevant receivable is probable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists and the sales price is fixed or determinable. Our return policy generally allows its end users and retailers to return purchased products.  In addition, the Company generally provides the ultimate consumer a warranty with each product.  Due to the nature of the invisibleSHIELD product line, returns for the invisibleSHIELD are generally not salvageable and are not included in inventory.  We estimate a reserve for sales returns and warranty and record the estimated reserve amount as a reduction of sales, and as a sales return reserve liability.  When product is returned and is expected to be resold, as is the case with returns of iFrogz products, the reserve is recorded as a reduction of revenues and cost of sales, and as a sales return reserve liability. The estimate for sales returns and warranty requires management to make significant estimates regarding return rates for sales and warranty returns.  Historical experience, actual claims, and customer return rights are the key factors used in determining the estimated sales return and warranty reserve.

The following summarizes the activity in the Company’s sales return and warranty liability for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010:

	For the Year Ended December 31,
	2012			2011			2010
Balance at beginning of year	$	5,387		$	2,068		$	550
iFrogz sales reserve at acquisition		—			524			—
Additions charged to sales		12,954			12,906			7,048
Sales returns & warranty claims charged against reserve		(11,644	)		(10,111	)		(5,530	)
Balance at end of year	$	6,697		$	5,387		$	2,068

Income taxes

The Company recognizes deferred income tax assets or liabilities for expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the financial statements or tax returns.  Under this method, deferred income tax assets or liabilities are determined based upon the difference between the financial statement and income tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates expected to apply when differences are expected to be settled or realized.  Deferred income tax assets are reviewed for recoverability and valuation allowances are provided when it is more likely than not that a deferred tax asset will not be realizable in the future.  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.

F-13

ZAGG INC AND SUBISDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Dollars, units, & shares in thousands, except per share data)

The Company recognizes the effect of income tax positions only if those positions are more likely than not of being sustained. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in judgment occurs. The Company records estimated interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits, if any, as a component of income tax provision.

The Company has foreign subsidiaries formed or acquired to conduct or support its business outside the United States. The Company does not provide for U.S. income taxes on undistributed earnings for its foreign subsidiaries as the foreign earnings will be permanently reinvested in such foreign jurisdictions.

Stock-based compensation

The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense in its consolidated financial statements for awards granted to employees and non-employees, which include restricted stock, stock options, and warrants.  Equity-classified awards are measured at the grant date fair value of the award. The fair value of restricted stock is measured on the grant date based on the quoted closing market price of the Company’s common stock.  The fair value of the stock options is measured on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model based on the underlying common stock closing price as of the date of grant, the expected term, stock price volatility, and risk-free interest rates.  The Company recognizes compensation expense net of estimated forfeitures on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award, which is generally the vesting term of the award.  No compensation cost is ultimately recognized for awards for which employees do not render the requisite service and are forfeited.  Excess tax benefits of awards that are recognized in equity related to stock option exercises are reflected as financing cash inflows.

Advertising and marketing

General advertising is expensed as incurred. Advertising allowances provided to retailers are recorded as an expense at the time of the related sale if the Company receives an identifiable benefit in exchange for the consideration and has evidence of fair value for the advertising; otherwise, the allowance is recorded as a reduction of revenue. Advertising expenses for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 were $12,495, $10,246 and $5,067, respectively.

Foreign currency translation and transactions

The Company’s primary operations are at the parent level which uses the U.S. dollar (USD) as its functional currency.   The Euro is the functional currency of the Company’s ZAGG International and iFrogz Europe subsidiaries.  Accordingly, assets and liabilities for these subsidiaries are translated into USD using exchange rates in effect at the end of each period. Revenue and expenses for these subsidiaries are translated using rates that approximate those in effect during the period. Gains and losses from these translations are recorded as a component of stockholders’ equity.  Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in income as a component of other income and (expense) in the consolidated statements of operations and totaled ($17), $60 and ($16) for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Earnings per share

Basic earnings per common share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net income attributable to stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.  Diluted earnings per common share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if stock options or other common stock equivalents were exercised or converted into common stock. The dilutive effect of stock options or other common stock equivalents is calculated using the treasury stock method.

The following is a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used to calculate basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010:

	2012		2011		2010
Net income attributable to stockholders	$	14,505	$	18,248	$	9,963
Weighted average shares outstanding		30,339		27,133		22.518
Dilutive effect of stock options, restricted stock, and warrants		1,317		1,949		1,744
Diluted shares		31,656		29,082		24,262
Earnings per share attributable to stockholders:
Basic	$	0.48	$	0.67	$	0.44
Dilutive	$	0.46	$	0.63	$	0.41

For the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011, and 2010, restricted stock, warrants and stock options to purchase 169, 103, and 1,157 shares of common stock, respectively, were not considered in calculating diluted earnings per share because the warrant or stock option exercise prices or the total expected proceeds under the treasury stock method for the warrants, restricted stock, or stock options was greater than the average market price of common shares during the period and, therefore, the effect would be anti-dilutive.

Recent accounting pronouncements

In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-11, Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. ASU 2011-11 requires an entity to disclose information about offsetting and related arrangements to enable users of financial statements to understand the effect of those arrangements on its financial position, and to allow investors to better compare financial statements prepared under U.S. GAAP with financial statements prepared under International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). The new standards are effective for annual periods beginning January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. Retrospective application is required. The Company will implement the provisions of ASU 2011-11 as of January 1, 2013, and is still evaluating the impact on the Company’s financial statements.

(2)  ACQUISITION OF IFROGZ

On June 21, 2011, the Company, Reminderband Inc. dba iFrogz (“iFrogz”), and the owners of iFrogz entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement pursuant to which ZAGG acquired 100% of the outstanding shares of iFrogz. The combination of ZAGG and iFrogz represented an opportunity to create a market leader in the mobile device accessories industry by building on complementary brands and increasing overall market share by growing product lines and expanding distribution.

The Company purchased iFrogz for total consideration of $50,000 in cash and 4,444 shares of ZAGG common stock. The value of the shares of the Company’s common stock used in determining the purchase price was $12.60 per share, the closing price of the Company’s common stock on June 21, 2011. 2,222 of the shares issued were subject to a 12-month “lock-up” transfer restriction following the date of acquisition and, therefore, the fair value of these shares was determined considering the restriction resulting in a discount of 20.0% from the closing share price. This 12-month “lock-up” transfer restriction following the date of acquisition in accordance with SEC Rule 144 expired on June 21, 2012. The other 2,222 shares issued were subject to a 6-month “lock-up” transfer restriction that expired on December 21, 2011. The fair value of these shares was determined considering the restriction resulting in a discount of 15.0% from the closing share price. In addition, $5,000 of the cash consideration paid to the former owners of iFrogz was placed in an escrow account to cover any potential tax, legal, or other contingencies that could potentially arise relating to pre-acquisition events for which ZAGG is indemnified. If charges exceed $5,000 (not to exceed $15,000), ZAGG could recover these amounts through cash payments from the former owners of iFrogz or by cancelling an appropriate number of shares subject to the lock-up to cover the charges. Subject to indemnity claims which may be asserted by ZAGG, the cash held in escrow was to be released to the former owners of iFrogz 18 months after the acquisition date (i.e. December 21, 2012). On December 21, 2012, $4,800 in cash was released to the former owners of iFrogz and $200 was retained in escrow to cover legal fees related to a pre-acquisition lawsuit brought by a former iFrogz employee during the fourth quarter of 2012. At the time of the release of the $4,800, the former owners of iFrogz signed an agreement to guarantee any legal fees that exceeded the $200 retained in escrow. A loss is not considered probable related to this case and thus no liability or indemnification asset has been recorded. As of the date of these financial statements, the Company was not aware of any other contingencies or potential indemnity claims.

Total	$	96,200

The total purchase price of $96,200 was allocated to tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their respective fair values.  The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed was recorded as goodwill.  Fair values assigned were based on reasonable methods applicable to the nature of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed.  The following table summarizes the allocation of the purchase consideration:

Cash and cash equivalents	$	2,469
Trade receivables ($5,880 contractual gross receivables)		5,832

Total	$	96,200

As part of the acquisition of iFrogz, the Company incurred legal, accounting, and other due diligence fees that were expensed when incurred. Total fees incurred related to the acquisition of iFrogz for the twelve months ended December 31, 2011, were $1,947, which were included as a component of selling, general, and administrative expenses in the consolidated statement of operations. No expenses were incurred in 2012.

Identifiable Intangible Assets

Classes of acquired intangible assets include customer relationships, trademarks, non-compete agreements, and other intangibles.  The fair value of the identifiable intangible assets was determined using various valuation methods, including the income and market approaches.  For assets valued under the income approach, the estimate of the present value of expected future cash flows for each identifiable asset was based on discount rates which incorporate a risk premium to take into account the risks inherent in those expected cash flows.  The expected cash flows were estimated using available historical data adjusted based on the Company’s historical experience and the expectations of market participants.  The market approach was utilized to determine appropriate royalty rates applied to the valuation of the trademarks and patents.  The amounts assigned to each class of intangible asset and the related weighted average amortization periods are as follows:

As discussed in Note 7, the EarPollution trademark was originally recorded as an indefinite-lived intangible asset as presented in the table above. However, as of December 31, 2012, management concluded that it should be considered a definite-lived asset due to change in brand strategy.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the iFrogz purchase price over the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed.

The Company believes that the acquisition of iFrogz will produce the following significant benefits:

·   Create Leading Mobile Device Accessories Company.  The combination of ZAGG and iFrogz has created a leading mobile device accessories company with diverse but complementary product lines, and a combined focus on creating both innovative and functional products in the ever-evolving market of mobile device accessories.

·   Increased Market Presence.  The combination of ZAGG and iFrogz has created an opportunity to capture additional market share domestically and globally from both existing and new customers.

The Company believes that these primary factors support the amount of goodwill recognized as a result of the purchase price paid for iFrogz, in relation to the other acquired tangible and intangible assets.

The goodwill acquired in the acquisition is deductible for income tax purposes and will be amortized over a period of 15 years.

Results of Operations

For the year ended December 31, 2011, iFrogz contributed net sales of $36,046 and net loss before tax of $1,461 to the consolidated statement of operations. In addition, iFrogz leases office space from its former owners for monthly rent of $14.

Pro forma Results from Operations

The following table contains unaudited pro-forma results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2011 and 2010.  The unaudited pro-forma results from operations give effect as if the acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2010, after giving effect to certain adjustments including the amortization of intangible assets, interest expense, tax adjustments, specific transaction related expenses incurred prior to the execution date, and assumes the purchase price was allocated to the assets purchased and liabilities assumed based on their values at the date of purchase.

(3)  INVENTORIES

Inventory consisted of the following components:

	December 31,
	2012		2011
Finished goods	$	34,690	$	19,871
Raw materials		5,298		9,751
Total inventory	$	39,988	$	29,622

In addition, included in prepaid expenses and other current assets were inventory deposits with third-party manufacturers at December 31, 2012 and 2011of $8,034 and $625, respectively.

(4)  ASSET PURCHASE CREDITS

The Company entered into a nonmonetary exchange transaction with Argent Trading Inc. (“Argent”) during the second quarter of 2011 whereby the Company transferred inventory with a carrying value of $986 to Argent in exchange for asset purchase credits with a face value of $1,350.  The credits could have been used for the purchase of goods or services from certain vendors until March 1, 2016, when the unused asset purchase credits would have expired.

The Company accounted for this nonmonetary transaction based on the fair value of the inventory transferred, as the inventory’s fair value was more clearly evident than fair value of the asset purchase credits.  The Company determined that the inventory had a fair value of $785 at the date of the transfer and thus recorded an impairment loss on the inventory of $202, which was recorded as a component of cost of sales in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. The Company utilized $2 in asset purchase credits through the end of the second quarter of 2012.

On May 2, 2012, management assigned these credits to a supplier in exchange for discounts on future purchases of products from the supplier. Management expects the discounts received to at least equal the value of the asset purchase credits assigned and that the discounts will be realized over approximately a three-year period. Management continues to classify these assets within prepaid expenses and other current assets, and noncurrent other assets on the consolidated balance sheet based on when the discounts are expected to be realized. During the year ended December 31, 2012, management utilized $184 of the asset purchase credits, which reduced the book value of the asset and was recorded through cost of sales in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.

(5)  INVESTMENT IN HzO AND NONCONTROLLING INTEREST

Noncontrolling interests are classified in the consolidated statements of operations as part of consolidated net income, and the accumulated amount of noncontrolling interests is included in the consolidated balance sheets as part of equity and redeemable noncontrolling interest. If a change in ownership of a consolidated subsidiary results in loss of control and deconsolidation, any retained ownership interests are remeasured with the gain or loss reported in net earnings.

At December 31, 2010, HzO, Inc. (“HzO”) was consolidated by the Company as a variable interest entity (“VIE”).  On August 12, 2011, HzO entered into a Series B Stock Purchase Agreement with third party investors whereby HzO issued 9,869 shares of its newly designated Series B Preferred Stock to new third party investors (collectively, the “HzO Investors”) for net cash of $2,335.  ZAGG considered this a reconsideration event and concluded that HzO remained a VIE and should continue to be consolidated as ZAGG was the primary beneficiary of HzO.

F-18

ZAGG INC AND SUBISDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Dollars, units, & shares in thousands, except per share data)

On December 22, 2011, HzO, entered into an Amended Series B Stock Purchase Agreement with another group of third party investors (collectively, the “new HzO investors”) whereby HzO issued 10,768 shares of Series B Preferred Stock for net cash of $3,000. ZAGG considered this a reconsideration event and concluded that as of December 22, 2011, HzO should no longer be considered a VIE under authoritative accounting literature, but was considered a voting interest entity. Management concluded that as ZAGG owned only 36.8% of HzO following the December 22, 2011 transaction and could not control HzO through voting interests, seats on the HzO Board of Directors, or through any other contractual agreement or method, HzO should be deconsolidated as of December 22, 2011.

The noncontrolling interest included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements is a result of noncontrolling interest investments in HzO up to the date of deconsolidation of December 22, 2011.

Management applied deconsolidation accounting guidance, which included analyzing ZAGG’s investment in HzO at December 22, 2011 to determine the fair value on the date of deconsolidation and the related gain or loss upon deconsolidation.  Management determined that the fair value of ZAGG’s investment in HzO at December 22, 2011 was $4,879. Appropriate valuation techniques were employed, including the use of the market approach that considered the recent equity transactions between HzO, the HzO Investors, and the new HzO investors, and an option pricing model. Ultimately, the fair value of ZAGG’s investment in HzO of $4,879 was recorded as ZAGG’s equity-method investment in HzO at December 22, 2011.  In addition, upon deconsolidation, ZAGG recorded a gain of $1,906, which was recorded as a component of other income (expense) in the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2011.

On October 23, 2012, HzO and the HzO Investors closed on the second tranche of financing under the Amendment to Series B Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) dated December 22, 2011. Under the terms of the Agreement, HzO issued 9,870 shares of Series B Preferred Stock to the HzO investors for cash of $2,500. Neither ZAGG nor ZAGG executives participated in this equity raise. Prior to this transaction, ZAGG held an ownership interest of 36.8% of the then-outstanding shares of HzO. Following this transaction, ZAGG held an ownership interest of 30.7% of the outstanding shares of HzO consisting of 18,361 Series A Preferred Shares. There were no other changes in ownership from the date of this transaction to December 31, 2012.

Management accounts for its investment in HzO under the equity method of accounting by recognizing ZAGG’s share of the earnings or losses of HzO in the periods in which they are reported by HzO in its separate financial statements, adjusted for the amortization of the basis difference between the Company’s investment in HzO and the Company’s underlying share in the net assets of HzO. For the year ended December 31, 2012, amortization of $313 was recorded. This amortization reduced the basis difference from $1,389 at December 31, 2011, to $1,076 at December 31, 2012. For the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company recorded a loss from investment in HzO of $2,866, which was recorded as a component of other income (expense) in the consolidated statement of operations.

HzO is a private company engaged in the development of water-blocking technologies for consumer and industrial applications.

(7)  GOODWILL & INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Impairment of Goodwill and Intangible Assets

For the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company recorded an impairment of goodwill in the amount of $5,441 for its iFrogz reporting unit within the iFrogz operating segment when it was determined that the carrying value of goodwill exceeded its fair value, which was determined during an impairment analysis performed during the fourth quarter of 2012. In conjunction with the impairment test, the Company considered factors such as the overall decline in the market price of the company’s stock and decline in market capitalization for a sustained period as indicators for potential goodwill impairment. In determining the amount of impairment within the analysis, we considered both the income approach, utilizing a discounted cash flow analysis, and market approach, which considers what other purchasers and sellers in the market have paid for companies reasonably similar to the reporting unit.

The goodwill impairment of $5,441 is included as a component of impairment of goodwill and intangibles in the consolidated statement of operations.

The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the year ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, are as follows:

	2012			2011
Balance as of January 1
Gross goodwill	$	6,925		$	—
Accumulated impairment losses		—			—
Net goodwill as of January 1		6,925			—
Goodwill acquired during the year		—			6,925
Impairment loss		(5,441	)		—
Balance as of December 31
Gross goodwill		6,925			6,925
Accumulated impairment losses		(5,441	)		—
Net goodwill as of December 31	$	1,484		$	6,925

In addition, during the fourth quarter of 2012, the Company made an important brand strategy adjustment to place greater emphasis on the promotion of our core brands, ZAGG and iFrogz. As a result of this decision, we determined that future cash flows under the EarPollution trademark likely will be less than previously estimated and that the trademark should be considered a definite-lived intangible asset. Management performed an impairment analysis during the fourth quarter of 2012, relying on a discounted cash flow analysis and market approach, and determined that the carrying amount of the trademark exceeded the fair value and an impairment charge of $5,917 was recorded at December 31, 2012 as a component of the goodwill and impairment line in the consolidated statement of operations. As the trademark is now considered a definite-lived intangible, management will commence amortizing the trademark over an eight-year period on an accelerated basis consistent with our projected future cash flows from the trademark. Future amortization of this trademark is included in the estimated future amortization table below in this Note.

Customer relationships, trademarks, and other intangibles are amortized on an accelerated basis consistent with their expected future cash flows over their estimated useful life, which results in accelerated amortization.  The remaining definite-lived intangible assets are amortized using the straight line method over their estimated useful life.  For the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011, and 2010 amortization expense was $9,801, $4,921, and $12, respectively. Amortization expense was primarily recorded as a component of operating expense, however, amortization expense related to acquired technology in 2012, 2011, and 2010 of $69, $972, and $0, respectively, was recorded as a component of cost of sales. In addition, up until December 22, 2011 when HzO was deconsolidated (Note 5), the acquired technology intangible included HzO technology and the associated amortization of $972 was recorded through the ZAGG Inc consolidated statement of operations. As the deconsolidation occurred on December 22, 2011, the HzO technology asset is not included in the consolidated balance sheet of the Company at December 31, 2012 or 2011.

Deferred tax assets, net – noncurrent		6,596		82
Net deferred tax assets	$	13,508	$	5,214

At December 31, 2012, the Company recorded a full valuation allowance against a deferred tax asset generated by losses on its equity method investment in HzO. HzO is a development stage enterprise and given current operations and uncertainty of future profitability, management has determined that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax asset will not be realizable. Given this, a full valuation allowance of $713 has been recorded against the deferred tax asset.

The Company has not recorded a tax benefit at December 31, 2012 and 2011 for operating losses in France and the UK from operations of iFrogz Europe SAS (gross cumulative operating loss of $1,280). Operations for iFrogz Europe and ZAGG Europe have been transitioned to Ireland and therefore, we do not expect future taxable income within France and the UK to offset current net operating losses.

For all other deferred tax assets, no valuation allowance has been recorded at December 31, 2012 and 2011, as management believes it is more likely than not that the results of future operations will generate sufficient taxable income to realize its deferred tax assets.

The Company has not recognized a deferred tax liability for the undistributed earnings of its foreign operations that arose in 2012 and prior years as the Company considers these earnings to be indefinitely reinvested. Cash held by foreign entities that is considered permanently re-invested totaled $3,531 as of December 31, 2012. If this cash were repatriated to the United States, outside the settlement of intercompany payables, the Company would need to accrue and pay the related tax, however, the Company considers these funds permanently re-invested and has no plans to repatriate these funds.

The Company recognizes the impact of a tax position in the financial statements if that position is more likely than not of being sustained on audit, based on the technical merits of the position.  As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company recorded a tax contingency of $61 and $61, respectively, related to foreign taxes at the iFrogz segment.  For the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011, and 2010, the Company recorded $0, $0, and $201, respectively in interest and penalties, which were included as a component of income tax provision.

The Company is currently not under examination by any federal or state tax authority, but remains subject to income tax examinations for each of its open tax years, which extend back to 2009 for federal income tax purposes and 2008 for state income tax purposes.

(9)  STOCK OPTIONS AND WARRANTS

In 2007, the Company’s board of directors adopted and in 2008 the Company’s shareholders approved the ZAGG Incorporated 2007 Stock Incentive Plan which provides for the issuance of up to 2,000 shares of common stock to the company’s directors, employees, consultants and advisors (the “2007 Incentive Plan”).  On July 16, 2009, the Company’s shareholders approved an amendment to the 2007 Incentive Plan to increase the number of shares issuable under the 2007 Incentive Plan to 5,000.  On June 23, 2011, the Company’s shareholders approved an amendment to the 2007 Incentive Plan to increase the number of shares issuable under the 2007 Incentive Plan to 10,000. As of December 31, 2012, there were approximately 6,020 shares available for grant under the 2007 Incentive Plan.

The 2007 Incentive Plan provides for awards in the form of options to acquire shares of common stock and restricted stock grants.  The 2007 Incentive Plan was administered by the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors.

On January 15, 2013, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted a new equity incentive award plan, named the ZAGG Inc 2013 Equity Incentive Award Plan (the “2013 Plan”) and directed that it be submitted to shareholders for their approval at the Company’s annual meeting in 2013.  The new plan is an “omnibus plan” under which stock options, stock appreciation rights, performance share awards, restricted stock, and restricted stock units can be awarded.  The 2013 Plan’s initial share reservation will be 5,000 shares.  The term of the plan is for 10 years from the date of its adoption.

Common Stock Options

Option awards are granted with an exercise price equal to the market price of the Company’s stock at the date of grant; those option awards generally vest based on three years of continuous service and have five-year contractual terms.

The fair value of stock options has been estimated as of the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. No stock options were granted during 2012. For the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 the following assumptions were used in determining the fair value of option grants:

	2011			2010
Expected dividend yield		0.0	%		0.0	%
Risk-free interest rate		1.21	%		1.20	%
Expected term (years)	3.5 years			3.5 years
Expected volatility		90.59	%		95.83	%

The Company determines the expected term of its stock option awards by using the simplified method, which assumes each vesting tranche of the award has a term equal to the midpoint between when the award vests and when the award expires. Expected volatility is calculated by weighting the Company’s historical stock price to calculate expected volatility over the expected term of each grant. If the Company’s historical stock price history does not cover the entire expected term, expected volatility is also weighted based on the average historical volatility of similar entities with publicly traded shares over the expected term of each grant. The risk-free interest rate for the expected term of each option granted is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant with a period that approximates the expected term of the option.

The following table summarizes the stock option activity for the Company’s stock incentive plan for the year ended December 31, 2012:

	Options			Weighted- Average Exercise Price		Weighted- Average Remaining Contractual Term		Aggregate Intrinsic Value
	(In thousands)			(Per share)		(In years)		(In thousands)
Outstanding at December 31, 2011		1,298		$	2.73		2.7

Exercisable at December 31, 2012		439		$	4.11		2.1	$	1,501

The weighted-average grant-date fair value of options granted during the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 was $0, $4.98, and $1.82, respectively. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, was $3,555, $8,170, and $2,016, respectively.

As of December 31, 2012, there was $318 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested stock options granted under the stock incentive plan. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 0.6 years. The total fair value of shares vested during the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, was $1,060, $2,638, and $615, respectively.

The Company recorded share-based compensation expense only for those options that are expected to vest.  The estimated fair value of the stock options is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award, which is generally the vesting term of the award. During the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, the Company recorded equity-based compensation expense of $1,008, $2,640 and $952, respectively, which is included as a component of selling, general and administrative expense.  The net tax benefit recognized on equity-based compensation expense for the year ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 was $181, $28, and 36, respectively.  The tax benefit realized from stock options exercised for the year ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 was $599, $1,838, and $708, respectively.

During the third quarter of 2012, the Company incurred an incremental charge of $154 that was the direct result of the Separation and Release of Claims Agreement (“Separation Agreement”) between the Company and Robert G. Pedersen II, the Company’s former chief executive officer. Under the terms of the Separation Agreement, Mr. Pedersen’s 32 unvested stock options will continue to vest under the original terms of the option grant. However, because future services to be performed by Mr. Pedersen are not considered substantive under US GAAP, the options were re-measured and the expense associated with these options was accelerated. In addition, the Company incurred a $910 charge during the third quarter of 2012 related to consulting fees due to Mr. Pedersen under the Separation Agreement, which is payable in monthly installments over the one-year term of the Separation Agreement.

During the second quarter of 2011, the Company incurred a charge of $1,560 related to the modification of a previously granted stock option, which is included as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses and additional paid in capital in the accompanying consolidated financial statements (see Note 11, Notes Receivable).

Warrants - During the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011, and 2010, the Company issued warrants to purchase common shares for investor relations consulting services of 50, 50, and 100, respectively. The 2012, 2011, and 2010 warrants are exercisable at $9.02, $9.05 and $2.58, respectively. The warrants expire five years from the grant date. The 2012 and 2011 grants were fully vested on the date of grant. The 2010 grant vested equally over the twelve month period from the grant date.  The 2012 and 2011 grants, and each vesting tranche of the 2010 grant was independently valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with separate assumptions for each tranche based on the fair value of the Company’s common stock on each vesting date, expected term equal to the remaining contractual term on each vesting date, expected volatility weighted between the Company’s historical volatility and the average historical volatility of similar entities with publicly traded shares over the expected term for each vesting date, and risk-free rate for the expected term based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect with a period that approximates the remaining contractual term for each vesting date.  For the year ended December 31, 2012, 2011, and 2010, the Company recorded expense of $311, $377, and $292, respectively, for these warrants. During 2010, the Company also issued warrants for 250 common shares exercisable at $8.53 per share expiring in 5 years and vesting immediately to Andrew Mason as part of the asset purchase agreement (see Note 13).

During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company issued warrants for consulting services for 20 common shares exercisable at $2.05 per share expiring in 1 year and vesting immediately; warrants for sales commissions to an independent third party for 175 common shares exercisable at $6.40 per share expiring in 1 year and vesting immediately; and additional warrants for sales commissions to an independent third party for 175 common shares exercisable at $4.00 per share expiring in 2.5 years and vesting immediately. Each warrant grant was independently valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.  For the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011, and 2010, the Company recorded expense of $0, $0, and $222, respectively. The warrants are accounted for as equity instruments.

The fair value of warrants have been estimated as of the vesting date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.  For the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011, and 2010 the following assumptions were used in determining the fair value:

	2012			2011			2010
Expected dividend yield		0.0	%		0.0	%		0.0	%

The weighted-average and grant-date or vest-date fair value of warrants granted during the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011, and 2010, was $6.22, $6.46, and $3.47, respectively. The total intrinsic value of warrants exercised during the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, was $4,195, $3,302, and $5,080, respectively.

As of December 31, 2012, there was $0 of total unrecognized estimated compensation cost related to nonvested warrants granted. The total fair value of warrants vested during the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011, and 2010 was $311, $377, and $1,390, respectively.

For warrants that are compensatory, the Company records share-based compensation expense related to warrants only for warrants that have vested.  The amount of the expense recognized is based on the estimated fair value of the warrants on the vesting date. During the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, the Company recorded equity-based compensation expense related to warrants of $311, $377, and $293, respectively, which is included as a component of selling, general and administrative expense.  The net tax benefit recognized on equity-based compensation expense related to warrants for the year ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 was $119, $144, and $67, respectively.  The tax benefit realized from compensatory warrants exercised for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 was $114, $0, and $0, respectively.

Restricted Stock

Restricted stock awards are granted with a fair value equal to the ending stock price on the date of grant. Prior to 2011, the Company had not granted any restricted stock.

A summary of the status of the Company’s restricted stock as of December 31, 2012, and changes during the year ended December 31, 2012, is presented below:

	Restricted Stock			Weighted- Average Grant Date Fair Value
	(In thousands)			(Per share)
Outstanding at December 31, 2011		424		$	8.55
Granted		469			9.72
Vested		(359	)		8.75
Forfeited		(82	)		9.42
Outstanding at December 31, 2012		452		$	9.51

As of December 31, 2012, there was $2,681 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested restricted stock awards granted under the stock incentive plan. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.0 years.

The Company recorded share-based compensation expense only for restricted stock that is expected to vest.  The estimated fair value of the restricted stock awards is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award, which is generally the vesting term of the award. During the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company recorded equity-based compensation expense of $4,699 and $624, respectively, which is included as a component of selling, general and administrative expense.  The net tax benefit recognized on equity-based compensation expense for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, was $1,809 and $236, respectively.  The tax benefit realized from vested restricted stock for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, was $1,169 and $0, respectively.

Included in the 2011 grants of restricted stock were 124 shares issued to an employee by the Company subject to the employee’s continued employment. These shares vest quarterly over a two year vesting term and will be expensed on a straight-line basis over the two-year vesting term. In connection with the issuance of 124 shares of restricted stock, the Company issued the employee an additional 90 shares of common stock with a fair value of $899 as consideration in full satisfaction of current and future royalties under a prior intellectual property agreement primarily related to the ZAGGmate. The portion of the consideration related to current royalties was $336 and was included as a component of cost of sales in the consolidated statement of operations in 2011. The remaining $563 portion of the consideration was capitalized as it represents a pre-payment of future royalties and will be amortized on an accelerated basis, consistent with the expected underlying cash flows of the intellectual property, over a seven year life. This capitalized amount is included as a component of intangible assets in the consolidated balance sheet.

During the third quarter of 2012, the Company incurred an incremental charge of $345 that was the direct result of the Separation Agreement between the Company and Robert G. Pedersen II, the Company’s former chief executive officer. In accordance with the terms of the Separation Agreement, Mr. Pedersen’s 127 then unvested stock options will be fully vested on August 17, 2013. However, under US GAAP, the expense associated with these options was accelerated as it was determined that the service to be performed by Mr. Pedersen was not considered to be substantive.

On March 30, 2012, the Company implemented a new incentive program for non-executive employees that provides for the issuance of a fixed amount of restricted stock to eligible employees if certain annual financial targets are reached. These targets were reached for the 2012 fiscal year, thus these restricted shares will be transferred to employees during March 2013.

During the year ended December 31, 2012, certain ZAGG employees received grants of restricted stock and elected to file an Internal Revenue Code Section 83(b) election and thereby elected to receive a net amount of shares in exchange for the Company incurring the tax liability for the grant date fair value of the award. In addition, certain ZAGG employees elected to receive a net amount of shares upon the vesting of a restricted stock grant in exchange for the Company incurring the tax liability for the fair value of the award on the vest date. This resulted in the Company recording $508 in compensation expense, with the offset being originally recorded to accrued wages and wage related expenses rather than to additional paid-in capital.

(10)  FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

At December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company’s financial instruments included cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, a note receivable, a line of credit with PNC Bank (as of December 31, 2011 only), term loan with Cerberus Business Finance, LLC (as of December 31, 2011 only), a line of credit with Wells Fargo (as of December 31, 2012 only), and a term loan with Wells Fargo (as of December 31, 2012 only). The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximates fair value due to the short-term maturities of these financial instruments.  The carrying value of the debt balances approximate fair value because the variable interest rates reflect current market rates.

In addition, as discussed in Note 11, management records an impairment on the note receivable if the fair value of the underlying collateral is less than the carrying amount.  Management determined the fair value of assets that collateralize the note receivable, which includes real property, interests in entities that own real property, and 80 shares of the Company’s stock that carry a restrictive legend until two months after the note receivable is paid in full.  Management determined that the fair value of the collateral exceeded the carrying value of the note receivable at December 31, 2012.

Fair Value Measurements

The Company measures at fair value certain financial and non-financial assets by using a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, essentially an exit price, based on the highest and best use of the asset or liability. The levels of the fair value hierarchy are:

F-28

Level 1 — Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2 — Significant other observable inputs (e.g., quoted prices for similar items in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar items in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable such as interest rate and yield curves, and market-corroborated inputs); and

Level 3 — Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting unit to develop its own assumptions.

At December 31, 2012 and 2011, the following assets and liabilities were measured at fair value on a recurring basis using the level of inputs shown (in thousands):

			Fair Value Measurements Using:
	December 31, 2012		Level 1 Inputs		Level 2 Inputs		Level 3 Inputs
Money market funds included in cash equivalents	$	452	$	452		—		—

			Fair Value Measurements Using:
	December 31, 2011		Level 1 Inputs		Level 2 Inputs		Level 3 Inputs
Money market funds included in cash equivalents	$	1,452	$	1,452		—		—

Non-Recurring Fair Value Measurements

The Company also measures the fair value of certain assets on a non-recurring basis, generally quarterly, annually or when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. These assets include goodwill, intangible assets, property and equipment, asset purchase credits, and collateral securing the note receivable.

The following tables presents assets held as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis using the level of inputs shown at the time of impairment (in thousands).

			Fair Value Measurements Using:
	December 31, 2012		Level 1 Inputs		Level 2 Inputs		Level 3 Inputs
Goodwill	$	1,484		—		—	$	1,484
EarPollution trademark	$	2,383		—		—	$	2,383

As discussed in Note 7, management performed an impairment analysis over each asset and ultimately recorded a $5,440 goodwill impairment and an impairment of $5,917 on the EarPollution trademark. Thus, the balances in the table reflect the fair value at December 31, 2012. The fair value of goodwill and the EarPollution trademark were determined using various valuation methods, including the income and market approaches. Under the income approach, the estimate of the present value of expected future cash flows was based on discount rates which incorporate a risk premium to take into account the risks inherent in those expected cash flows. The expected cash flows were estimated using available historical operating data projected into the future based on the Company’s current expectations.  Various market approaches were utilized to determine appropriate royalty rates applicable to the valuation of the EarPollution trademark, to determine appropriate comparable company market multiples to estimate the value of the iFrogz reporting unit, and to estimate the overall value of the consolidated entity.

			Fair Value Measurements Using:
	December 31, 2011		Level 1 Inputs		Level 2 Inputs		Level 3 Inputs

(Dollars, units, & shares in thousands, except per share data)

In 2011, the note receivable (discussed in Note 11) was recorded at the fair value of the underlying collateral.  Management considered the 80 shares of ZAGG common stock to be a Level 1 asset as quoted market prices exist. The real estate holdings were considered Level 2 assets as significant observable inputs exist for similar items in active markets. The investments in real estate companies, and private company preferred stock and warrants were considered Level 3 assets as the value was determined based on unobservable inputs.

The fair value of the real estate companies was determined using the market approach and the key inputs were comparable properties and investments. The fair value of the private company preferred stock was determined using various valuation methods, including the income and market approaches. Under the income approach, the estimate of the present value of expected future cash flows was based on discount rates which incorporate a risk premium to take into account the risks inherent in those expected cash flows. The expected cash flows were estimated using available historical operating data projected into the future based on the Company’s current expectations. The market approach was utilized to determine appropriate comparable company market multiples to estimate the value of the entity and the Company’s investment in preferred stock. The fair value of the warrants to purchase private company preferred stock were calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model whereby estimates of volatility, the private company’s preferred stock value, and the risk-free rate were key inputs.

The Company recorded impairment charges of $1,489 during the year ended December 31, 2011, related to the note receivable and the underlying collateral assets held as of December 31, 2011, measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis. Level 3 assets comprise $125 of the impairment charge. These impairment charges were recorded as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses in the 2011 consolidated statement of operations.

There were no impairment charges during the year ended December 31, 2010, related to assets held and measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis.

(11)  NOTE RECEIVABLE

In June 2008, Lorence Harmer became a member of the Company’s board of directors and in December 2009, was appointed as the chairman of the Audit Committee.  Mr. Harmer introduced the Company to a consumer electronics product, which became known as the ZAGGbox.  The ZAGGbox was intended to aggregate digital content such as music, pictures, videos and movies into a single location so that users could share the content with most other networked media players, including mobile devices.  After investigating the market opportunity for the ZAGGbox, the Company determined in June 2009 that it wished to obtain certain rights for the development and sale of the ZAGGbox in North America.  The Company entered into negotiations with Teleportall, LLC (“Teleportall”), the owner of the technology used in the ZAGGbox, regarding production and distribution of the ZAGGbox.  On June 17, 2009, the Company issued its initial purchase order for ZAGGbox units in the amount of $3,500 and advanced to Teleportall a total of $1,153 representing a $200 non-recurring engineering (NRE) fee and $953 in payment of 30% of the total purchase price for the units ordered by the Company.  Mr. Harmer participated in the negotiations between the Company and Teleportall, and continued to represent the Company throughout 2009 and 2010 concerning the ZAGGbox.  In May 2010, the Company entered into a Distribution and License Agreement with Teleportall, which memorialized Teleportall’s agreement to manufacture and deliver ZAGGboxes to the Company and appointed the Company as the exclusive distributor for the ZAGGbox in North American.  Additionally, in May 2010, the Company entered into an agreement with Harmer Holdings, LLC, an affiliate of Mr. Harmer, under which Harmer Holdings, LLC agreed to repurchase unsold ZAGGboxes under certain circumstances.

Teleportall proceeded to develop the ZAGGbox and provided periodic progress reports to the Company.  However, Teleportall did not deliver the product in time for the 2009 Christmas selling season.  Subsequently, during the December 1, 2009, meeting of the Board of Directors of the Company, Mr. Harmer disclosed to the other members of the Board that he owned an interest in Teleportall.  After a discussion about his financial interest in Teleportall during that meeting, Mr. Harmer stated he was willing to divest himself of any ownership in Teleportall, and the Board of Directors voted unanimously to accept Mr. Harmer’s proposal that he would do so, and assumed thereafter that Mr. Harmer had completed his divestiture.

The development of the product continued in 2010 with the expectation that the product would be delivered in time for the 2010 Christmas selling season.  The Company made additional payments for long lead-time parts to Teleportall in the aggregate amount of $2,747.  When it became obvious to the Company that the product would not be ready to market and sell during the 2010 Christmas season, the Company commenced discussions to restructure the Distribution and License Agreement with Teleportall.  During the course of those discussions, the Company learned in January 2011 that Mr. Harmer did not divest himself of any interest in Teleportall following the December 2009 meeting of the Board of Directors of the Company where he agreed to do so, but retained an indirect ownership interest of 25% in Teleportall as well as other entities potentially affiliated with the ZAGGbox.  As a result of the foregoing, the Company entered into an agreement with Teleportall, Mr. Harmer and several entities owned or controlled by Mr. Harmer (the “Harmer Agreement”), dated March 23, 2011, but subject to further negotiations and ratification through April 5, 2011.  Pursuant to the Harmer Agreement, the parties agreed to terminate the Distribution and License Agreement on the following terms:

·   Mr. Harmer, Teleportall, and certain of their affiliates delivered a promissory note (the “Note”) dated March 23, 2011, to the Company in the original principal amount of $4,126 which accrues interest at the rate of LIBOR plus 4% per annum (adjusted quarterly) payable as follows: (i) interest only payments (a) on September 23, 2011, and (b) thereafter on or before the last day of each calendar quarter, (ii) 50% of the net profits of each ZAGGbox sale by Teleportall and its affiliates to be applied, first, to accrued interest and, second, to the principal balance of the Note, and (iii) the unpaid balance of principal and interest due in full on March 23, 2013. The principal amount of the Note is equal to the aggregate amount of the payments made by the Company to Teleportall plus the internal cost of the ZAGGbox project incurred by the Company.  The Note is secured by certain real property, interests in entities that own real property and restricted and free-trading securities.

·   Teleportall and the Company entered into a License Agreement on March 23, 2011 under which the Company licensed to Teleportall the use of certain ZAGG names and trademarks to sell and distribute the ZAGGbox product.  Teleportall will pay ZAGG a 10% royalty on net sales of ZAGGboxes per calendar quarter as a license fee.

·   Teleportall and ZAGG entered into a non-exclusive, two year Commission Agreement on March 23, 2011, under which Teleportall could make introductions of many ZAGG products in all countries where ZAGG did not then have exclusive dealing agreements in respect of the marketing, distribution or sale of its products.  The Commission Agreement provided that (a) it would automatically terminate concurrent with any uncured default under the Note, and (b) the term could be extended for an additional time period on reasonable terms if Teleportall’s introductions during the initial two year term result in the purchase of no less than $25,000 of ZAGG products during the initial term.  Payment terms of the Commission Agreement are as follows:

·   10.0% commission payments on orders received by the Company from retailers and distributors first introduced to the Company by Teleportall during the first 60 days after the introduction is made (the “Load-in Period”) to be split 50/50 between cash to Teleportall and principal payments on the Note. However, all commission payments will be paid to ZAGG if Teleportall is in breach of the terms of the Note or any other agreements between the parties;

·   3.0% commission on all orders within the first 24 months after the Load-in Period, and 2.0% thereafter, from retailers and distributors first introduced to the Company as described under the terms set forth in the preceding bullet point.  The 3.0% and 2.0% commissions will be split 50/50 between cash to Teleportall and principal payments on the Note; and

·   3.0% commission on all orders generated in countries where Teleportall is paid commission under the terms of the preceding two bullet points (excluding the United States), regardless of Teleportall’s involvement in ZAGG’s receipt of the order until the first to occur of (i) payment in full of the Note, (ii) termination of the Commission Agreement or (iii) 24 months after the applicable Load-in Period.

No revenue has been recognized from Teleportall.

As part of the Harmer Agreement, the Company modified a previously granted stock option award to Mr. Harmer, which resulted in a charge of $1,560 that was recorded in the second quarter of 2011.  The charge was recorded in the second quarter of 2011 due to further negotiations and ratification on April 5, 2011.  The further negotiations concerned the restricted legend placed on 80 shares of stock subject to repayment of the Note.

The Note was originally accounted for under the cost recovery method and was originally included in the consolidated balance sheet at $3,900 which was the value of the ZAGGbox inventory advances.  The original face value of the Note of $4,126 was for reimbursement of the inventory advances and other costs associated with the ZAGGbox and approximated fair value at March 23, 2011, as the variable interest rate on the Note approximated market rates.

On September 20, 2011, and prior to the due date of the first interest-only payment due on the Note, Mr. Harmer and two of his affiliates, Harmer Holdings, LLC, (“Holdings”) and Teleportall, filed a lawsuit in Utah state court against the Company, Robert G. Pedersen, II (ZAGG’s now-former CEO), Brandon T. O’Brien (ZAGG’s CFO) and KPMG LLP (ZAGG’s independent registered public accounting firm).  KPMG has subsequently been dismissed from the lawsuit.  In their lawsuit, the plaintiffs allege that the defendants defamed Mr. Harmer, breached the Harmer Agreement and interfered with other rights of the plaintiffs. The Company has responded to the plaintiffs’ claims, denying all of the material allegations made by the plaintiffs.  The Company believes the plaintiff’s claims to be without merit and intends to vigorously defend against them.

Subsequently, Mr. Harmer failed to make the required interest-only payment to the Company due on September 23, 2011, and had until October 23, 2011, to cure the default. Mr. Harmer failed to cure the default by October 23, 2011, and on that date, management directed ZAGG legal counsel to commence foreclosure on the collateral securing the loan, which consists of real property, interests in entities that own real property, and restricted and free-trading securities, which included 45 shares of ZAGG common stock. In addition to the collateral, Mr. Harmer had also agreed that he would not sell 80 shares of ZAGG common stock until two months after the Note was paid in full.  Given the Note is full recourse, and the shares have a restrictive legend associated with repayment of the Note, the Company believes it can recover the 80 shares.

Given Mr. Harmer’s default on the loan on September 23, 2011, and failure to cure the default on October 23, 2011, management determined that it was probable that the Company would be unable to collect all amounts due from Mr. Harmer according to the terms of the Note. As the Note became collateral-dependent upon Mr. Harmer’s default, management engaged various third-party certified appraisers and valuation specialists to assist management in its determination of the fair value of the collateral and whether it is sufficient to recover the Note balance. As of December 31, 2012, management noted that the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral was between $1,576 and $1,712. As management has not been able to ascertain whether Mr. Harmer owns 50% or 100% of Holdings, management used the low end of the above range ($1,576) and compared it to the carrying amount of the note of $1,149.  The remaining note balance of $1,149 appears to be collectable given management’s best estimate of the cash recovery on the collateral securing the Note (fair value, less cost to sell) of $1,576. Additionally, during the third quarter of 2011, the Company reclassified $566 of the Note as an offset to equity, representing the collateral secured by ZAGG common stock, which management has taken steps to recover to repay the Note, as noted below. Ultimately, any recovery in excess of the carrying value of the Note will be recognized when realized.

We determined the fair values of the collateral of the note receivable, which required significant estimates and assumptions. Management determined the value of the 80 shares of ZAGG common stock held by Mr. Harmer based on quoted market prices. The real estate holdings were valued primarily based on the sales comparison approach as sales of comparable properties were utilized. The investments in real estate companies were valued utilizing comparable market sales, a discounted cash flow analysis, and other appropriate valuation methodologies including the use of the Black-Scholes option pricing model for the private company warrants.

Since the Note became collateral dependent in October 2011, management has (1) foreclosed and sold 45 shares of ZAGG common stock for $496 (December 2011); (2) foreclosed on real property valued at $250 (January 2012); and (3) foreclosed on stock and warrants in a private company of $516 (May 2012). These foreclosures were recorded as a reduction to the note receivable in the period in which the foreclosure occurred. Management continues to actively pursue the foreclosure of all remaining collateral.

At December 31, 2012, the total unpaid principal balance, including accrued interest, late fees and costs incurred in collection, totaled $3,445.

Wells Fargo Term Loan and Revolving Line of Credit Facility

On December 7, 2012, the Company and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo”), entered into a two-year, $84,000 credit facility (“Credit Agreement”) consisting of a $24,000 term loan (“Term Loan”) and a $60,000 revolving line of credit (“Line of Credit”), which Line of Credit includes a letter of credit sub-feature that allows the Company to issue standby commercial letters of credit against the Line of Credit, not to exceed at any time an aggregate of $10,000. The Company’s obligations under the Credit Agreement were secured by all or substantially all of the Company’s domestic assets and over 50% of the equity in foreign subsidiaries. As of December 31, 2012, the Company had an outstanding balance of $24,000 on the Term Loan, an outstanding balance of $22,173 on the Line of Credit, and no letters of credit had been issued.

The Term Loan requires quarterly payments of $2,000 payable on the first day of each quarter commencing on April 1, 2013, and continuing up to and including October 1, 2014. A final installment payment consisting of the remaining unpaid balance is due on December 1, 2014. A mandatory additional principal payment of $500 is required for each fiscal quarter in which total liabilities to tangible net worth (as those terms are defined in the Credit Agreement) exceeds 1.50 to 1.00, commencing with the Company’s fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2012. At December 31, 2012, no mandatory principal payment was required.

The outstanding principal balance of the Term Note bears interest (computed on the basis of a 360-day year, actual days elapsed) at a fixed rate per annum determined by the Bank to be the sum of the (1) LIBOR margin (with the initial LIBOR margin being set at 1.25%) and (2) LIBOR in effect on the first day of each Fixed Rate Term (as defined in the Credit Agreement).

Borrowings and repayments under the Line of Credit may occur from time to time in the Company’s ordinary course of business from December 7, 2012, through December 1, 2014.  Any outstanding borrowings under the Line of Credit mature and are due on December 1, 2014.

The outstanding principal balance under the Line of Credit bears interest (computed on the basis of a 360-day year, actual days elapsed) at a fluctuating rate per annum determined to be the sum of the (1) LIBOR margin (with the initial LIBOR margin being set at 1.25%) and (2) Daily Three Month LIBOR (as defined in the Credit Agreement) in effect from time to time.  

Pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement, Wells Fargo will adjust the LIBOR margin used to determine the rate of interest under the Line of Credit on a quarterly basis, commencing with the Company’s fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2012. The Applicable Libor Margin is calculated based on the Company's ratio of Total Liabilities to Tangible Net Worth (as these terms are defined in the Credit Agreement) in accordance with the following table:

Total Liabilities to Tangible Net Worth	Applicable LIBOR Margin
1.50 or greater		1.75	%
1.00 or greater, but less than 1.50		1.25	%
Less than 1.00		0.75	%

(Dollars, units, & shares in thousands, except per share data)

Under the Line of Credit Note, each such adjustment will be effective on the first business day of the Company’s fiscal quarter following the quarter during which the Bank receives and reviews the Company’s most current fiscal quarter-end financial statements in accordance with the requirements established by the Bank for the preparation and delivery thereof.

In addition, the Company agreed to pay Wells Fargo a quarterly fee based on the average unused amount of the Line of Credit depending on the Company’s Leverage Ratio (which term is defined in the Credit Agreement as Total Liabilities divided by Tangible Net Worth) based on the following table:

Leverage Ratio	Applicable Unused Commitment Fee (per annum)
1.50 or greater		0.20	%
1.00 or greater, but less than 1.50		0.15	%
Less than 1.00		0.10	%

At December 31, 2012, $4 in unused line fees had been incurred and was included as a component of interest expense in the consolidated statement of operations.

The weighted average interest rate on all outstanding borrowings at December 31, 2012, was 1.63%. At December 31, 2012, the effective interest rate was 2.31%.

The Company incurred and capitalized $238 of direct costs related to the issuance of the Term Loan and Line of Credit.  The Company amortizes these deferred loan costs under the effective interest rate method.  For the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company amortized $8 of these loan costs, which is included as a component of interest expense in the consolidated statement of operations.  The carrying value of deferred loan costs at December 31, 2012, was $230 and is included as a component of noncurrent other assets in the consolidated balance sheet.

Attached to the Credit Agreement are a number of financial and non-financial debt covenants. At December 31, 2012, the Company was in compliance with all covenants associated with the Credit Agreement.

Mandatory payments under the Credit Agreement are presented in the following table:

	Mandatory Payments
2013	$	6,000
2014		40,173
Total	$	46,173

PNC & Cerberus Term Loan and Revolving Credit Facility

On June 21, 2011, and in conjunction with the acquisition of iFrogz, the Company entered into a financing agreement (the “Financing Agreement”) led by Cerberus Business Finance, LLC (“Cerberus”) and PNC Bank National Association (“PNC”), which was acting as the administrative bank.  The Financing Agreement consisted of a $45,000 term loan (“Cerberus Term Loan”), a $45,000 revolving credit facility (“Revolving Credit Facility”), and a $5,000 letters of credit facility, which was a subset of the $45,000 Revolving Credit Facility.  The Company’s obligations under the Financing Agreement were secured by all or substantially all of the Company’s assets.  The Cerberus Term Loan matured on June 20, 2016, and the Revolving Credit Facility and letters of credit matured on June 20, 2014.

At December 31, 2011, the weighted average interest rate on all outstanding borrowings was 7.25%. At December 31, 2011, the effective interest rate was 8.02%.

There were no scheduled payments on either the Cerberus Term Loan or Revolving Credit Facility prior to maturity, though the Company made a $4,000 payment on the Cerberus Term Loan and a $23,000 payment on the Revolving Credit Facility during the first quarter of 2012.  The Financing Agreement called for prepayment of the Cerberus Term Loan if certain conditions are met.  The prepayment requirement commenced with the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011, and was calculated based on a percentage of “excess cash flow” as defined in the Financing Agreement.  Payment was required to be made within ten days of issuing the year-end consolidated financial statements.  Based on projections at December 31, 2011, the Company estimated that a prepayment of $2,372 would be required to be made during March 2012.  This amount was classified as current in the consolidated balance sheet, while the remaining Cerberus Term Loan balance and Revolving Credit Facility balance was classified as noncurrent.

Starting July 1, 2011, the Company began paying a commitment fee of 0.375% on the unused portion of the borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility based on the average principal amount outstanding for the month compared to $45,000. For the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company incurred $133 and $46, respectively, in commitment fees, which is included as a component of interest expense in the consolidated statement of operations.

The Company incurred and capitalized $2,538 of direct costs related to the issuance of the Cerberus Term Loan and Revolving Credit Facility.  Of the total amount incurred, $1,699 was directly related to the Cerberus Term Loan and $839 was directly related to the Revolving Credit Facility.  The Company amortized the deferred loan costs on the Cerberus Term Loan on the effective interest rate method and the deferred loan costs on the Revolving Credit Facility on a straight-line basis over the respective terms of the loan:  the Term Loan was being amortized through June 20, 2016, and the Revolving Credit Facility through June 20, 2014.  For the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company amortized $568 and $329, respectively, of these loan costs, which is included as a component of interest expense in the consolidated statement of operations.  In addition, during the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company recorded additional amortization of $132 through interest expense due to the $4,000 payment on the Term Loan prior to maturity.

As discussed above, on December 7, 2012, the Company paid off the entire outstanding balance on the Cerberus Term Loan and Revolving Credit Facilty, and the Financing Agreement with PNC and Cerberus was terminated. As this agreement was terminated, the Company wrote-off the remaining $1,509 balance of deferred loan costs during the fourth quarter of 2012, which is included as a component of interest expense on the consolidated statement of operations. In addition, the Company incurred a charge of $430 paid to PNC and Cerberus to terminate the credit agreement when the Company refinanced with Wells Fargo, which is classified as a component of interest expense in the consolidated statement of operations.

US Bank Line of Credit

Effective May 13, 2010, the Company entered into a Loan Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with U.S. Bank National Association (“US Bank”).  The Loan Agreement provided for revolving loans and other financial accommodations to or for the benefit of the Company of up to $5,000, to be used for working capital and other corporate purposes.  The Company’s obligations under the Loan Agreement and all related agreements were secured by all or substantially all of the Company’s assets.  The obligation of U.S. Bank to make advances under the Loan Agreement was subject to the conditions set forth in the Loan Agreement.  The Loan Agreement and the credit facility were to mature on May 13, 2011.

On March 8, 2011, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Loan Agreement (the “Amended and Restated Loan Agreement”) with U.S. Bank which provided for revolving loans and other financial accommodations to or for the benefit of the Company of a principal amount not to exceed $20,000.  Advances under the Amended and Restated Loan Agreement bear interest at LIBOR plus 1.75%.  The Amended and Restated Loan Agreement required the Company to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of no less than 1.25 to 1.00 measured quarterly on a trailing twelve month basis and a leverage ratio of no greater than 2.5 to 1.0 measured quarterly on a trailing twelve month basis.  The Amended and Restated Loan Agreement and the credit facility were to mature on March 15, 2012.

On June 21, 2011 the Company paid off the entire outstanding balance on the line of credit, and the Loan Agreement with U.S. Bank was terminated.

Patent Litigation

ZAGG Intellectual Property Holding Co. Inc. v. NLU Products et al, U.S. District Court, District of Utah, 2:11-cv-00517.  The Company is the plaintiff in patent infringement litigation pending in Utah that seeks to enforce rights under United States Patent No. 7,957,524. The defendants in this case have raised defenses and, in some cases, asserted counterclaims against the Company, that seek declarations of unenforceability or non-infringement of the patent. These counterclaims do not assert any claims for affirmative relief, including claims for damages, against the Company, apart from a request for an award of costs and attorney’s fees to the prevailing party. Several of the defendants have settled with the Company. Litigation of this action has been stayed pending a reexamination of United States Patent No. 7,957,524 by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.  This reexamination has led to the rejection of the claims of the patent, but this decision is currently on appeal.  In the opinion of management, the ultimate disposition of these patent infringement claims, including disposition of the counterclaims, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, or liquidity.

ZAGG v. Trekstor, Regional Court, Dusseldorf, Germany. The Company brought suit in Dusseldorf, Germany against Trekstor for infringement of ZAGG design registrations for ZAGGmate and the Logitech Keyboard Case by ZAGG.  The Company also brought claims for unfair competition.  As of the date of this Report, all briefing had been completed and a hearing was held.  The Court has not yet ruled on the claims of infringement and has indicated that it may not issue its decision until after TrekStor’s challenges to the registrations have been considered. TrekStor has challenged the Company’s ownership of the design registrations and has filed an application for a declaration of invalidity of the Company’s design registrations, but this application has been denied and is not pending on appeal.  The Company believes these allegations of invalidity and ownership to be without merit and intends to vigorously defend against them.

Zagg Inc, et al., U.S. District Court, District of Utah, 2:12-cv-00859.  On September 6 and 10, 2012, two putative class action lawsuits were filed by purported Company shareholders against the Company, Randall Hales, Brandon O’Brien, Edward Ekstrom, and Cheryl Larabee, as well as Robert G. Pedersen II, our former Chairman and CEO, and Shuichiro Ueyama, a former member of our Board of Directors.  In each case, the plaintiffs seek certification of a class of purchasers of our stock between February 28, 2012 and August 17, 2012.  The plaintiffs claim that as a result of Mr. Pedersen's alleged December 2011 margin account sales, the defendants initiated a succession plan to replace Mr. Pedersen as our CEO with Mr. Hales, but failed to disclose either the succession plan or Mr. Pedersen's margin account sales, in violation of Sections 10(b), 14(a), and 20(a), and SEC Rules 10b-5 and 14a-9, under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”).  On March 7, 2013, the U.S. District Court for the District of Utah consolidated the Apple and Draayer actions and assigned the caption In re Zagg, Inc. Securities Litigation.  The Company has not yet responded to the complaints.  The Company intends to vigorously defend against them.

Arthur Morganstern v. Robert G. Pedersen II et al., Third Judicial District Court, Salt Lake County, State of Utah, Civil No. 120908452; Albert Pikk v. Robert G. Pedersen II et al., U.S. District Court, District of Utah, Case No. 2:12-cv-1188; Rosenberg v. Robert G. Pedersen II et al., U.S. District Court, District of Utah, Case No. 2:12-cv-1216.  On December 14, 2012, the first of three shareholder derivative complaints were filed against several of our current and former officers and directors.  These complaints make allegations similar to those presented in the putative class action lawsuits, but they also assert various state law causes of action, including claims for breach of fiduciary duty, waste of corporate assets, unjust enrichment, and insider trading.  Each of these derivative complaints seek unspecified damages on behalf of the Company, which is named solely as a nominal defendant against whom no recovery is sought.  On February 27, 2013, the U.S. District Court for the District of Utah consolidated the Pikk and Rosenberg actions and assigned the caption In re ZAGG Inc. Shareholder Derivative Litigation.  The Company has not yet responded to these complaints.

In the fourth quarter of 2012, the Company received requests to provide documentation and information to the staff of the SEC in connection with a non-public investigation being conducted by the SEC’s Salt Lake City office.  The Company believes the investigation includes a review of the facts and circumstances surrounding some of the same issues raised by the plaintiffs in the above lawsuits; specifically, whether the Company failed to disclose Mr. Pedersen's margin account sales or the alleged existence of a plan to have Mr. Hales succeed Mr. Pedersen as our CEO.  The Company responded to these requests and is cooperating fully with the staff.  We have chosen to disclose this non-public investigation due to the highly public nature of the lawsuits described above, which the Company intends to defend vigorously.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Dollars, units, & shares in thousands, except per share data)

The Company is not a party to any other litigation or other claims at this time. While the Company currently believes that the amount of any ultimate potential loss for known matters would not be material to the Company’s financial condition, the outcome of these actions is inherently difficult to predict. In the event of an adverse outcome, the ultimate potential loss could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations in a particular period.

We establish liabilities when a particular contingency is probable and estimable. We have not accrued for any loss at December 31, 2012 in our consolidated financial statements as we do not consider a loss to be probable nor estimable.

(14)  CONCENTRATIONS

Concentration of credit risk

Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and accounts receivable.  The Company places its cash with high credit quality financial institutions.  The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts, which, at times, exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts through December 31, 2012.

At December 31, 2012 and 2011, approximately 56% and 55%, respectively, of the balance of accounts receivable was due from one customer.  No other customer account balances were more that 10% of accounts receivable.  If one or more of the Company’s significant customers were to become insolvent or were otherwise unable to pay for the products provided, it would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.

Concentration of supplier

The Company purchases its raw materials related to the invisibleSHIELD product line primarily from one source.   Management is aware of similar raw materials that would be available from other sources if required and has current plans to immediately engage such resources if necessary.  A change in supplier, however, could cause a delay in manufacturing and a possible loss of sales, which could adversely affect operating results.

In addition, iFrogz purchases all inventory through one third party sourcing company.  Management is aware of other manufacturing sources that it could utilize if there was a disruption in the operations of the third party sourcing Company.  A change in the sourcing Company, however, could cause a delay in manufacturing and a possible loss of sales, which could adversely affect operating results.

Concentration of sales

For the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011, and 2010, one customer accounted for 32%, 30%, and 41%, respectively, of the Company’s sales. In addition, during 2012 and 2011, a second customer accounted for 11% and 11%, respectively, of sales.  No other customer account balances were more that 10% of sales.  If the Company loses one or more of the Company’s significant customers, it would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.

The percentage of sales by geographic region for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 was approximately:

	2012	2011	2010
United States	87%	88%	83%
Europe	6%	6%	12%
Other	7%	6%	5%

Net assets located overseas in Shannon Ireland totaled $4,737 and $290 at December 31, 2012 and 2011.

(15)  SEGMENT REPORTING

The operating segments reported below are the Company’s segments for which separate financial information is available and upon which operating results are evaluated by the chief operating decision maker on a timely basis to assess performance and to allocate resources.

Prior to the Company’s acquisition of iFrogz, the Company was a single reporting segment consistent with the nature of its operations. Due to the acquisition, the Company has reassessed its reporting segments and concluded that it will analyze its worldwide operations based on the following three reportable segments:

·   ZAGG segment — This segment designs, produces, and distributes creative product solutions such as protective coverings, keyboards, keyboard cases, earbuds, mobile power solutions, and device cleaning accessories for mobile devices under the family of ZAGG brands. Within the family of ZAGG brand are products sold under the following brand names:  invisibleSHIELD®, ZAGGskins™, ZAGGbuds™, ZAGGsparq™, ZAGGfolio™, ZAGGmate™, ZAGGkeys™, ZAGGkeys PRO™, ZAGGkeys PRO Plus™, ZAGGkeys MINI 7, and ZAGGkeys MINI 9.

·   iFrogz segment—This segment designs, produces, and distributes cases, Near-Field Audio™ amplifying speakers, earbuds, traditional headphones, and gaming headphones for mobile devices under the family of iFrogz brands in the value-priced lifestyle sector. Within the iFrogz brand are products sold under the following brand names: iFrogz™, Earpollution™, Caliber™, and Animatone™.

·   HzO segment—This segment is engaged in the development of water blocking coating technologies for consumer and industrial applications. As discussed in Note 5, HzO was deconsolidated as of December 22, 2011; however, management has continued to report HzO’s operations within the segment reporting below.

The Company evaluates segment performance based on the segment’s income from operations. Other income (expense), which includes interest expense, is not presented by segment since it is not included in the measure of segment profitability reviewed by the chief operating decision maker. All inter-segment transactions have been eliminated.  Information concerning our operations by reportable segment is as follows (in thousands):

ACQUISITION OF IFROGZ

(2)  ACQUISITION OF IFROGZ

On June 21, 2011, the Company, Reminderband Inc. dba iFrogz (“iFrogz”), and the owners of iFrogz entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement pursuant to which ZAGG acquired 100% of the outstanding shares of iFrogz. The combination of ZAGG and iFrogz represented an opportunity to create a market leader in the mobile device accessories industry by building on complementary brands and increasing overall market share by growing product lines and expanding distribution.

The Company purchased iFrogz for total consideration of $50,000 in cash and 4,444 shares of ZAGG common stock. The value of the shares of the Company’s common stock used in determining the purchase price was $12.60 per share, the closing price of the Company’s common stock on June 21, 2011. 2,222 of the shares issued were subject to a 12-month “lock-up” transfer restriction following the date of acquisition and, therefore, the fair value of these shares was determined considering the restriction resulting in a discount of 20.0% from the closing share price. This 12-month “lock-up” transfer restriction following the date of acquisition in accordance with SEC Rule 144 expired on June 21, 2012. The other 2,222 shares issued were subject to a 6-month “lock-up” transfer restriction that expired on December 21, 2011. The fair value of these shares was determined considering the restriction resulting in a discount of 15.0% from the closing share price. In addition, $5,000 of the cash consideration paid to the former owners of iFrogz was placed in an escrow account to cover any potential tax, legal, or other contingencies that could potentially arise relating to pre-acquisition events for which ZAGG is indemnified. If charges exceed $5,000 (not to exceed $15,000), ZAGG could recover these amounts through cash payments from the former owners of iFrogz or by cancelling an appropriate number of shares subject to the lock-up to cover the charges. Subject to indemnity claims which may be asserted by ZAGG, the cash held in escrow was to be released to the former owners of iFrogz 18 months after the acquisition date (i.e. December 21, 2012). On December 21, 2012, $4,800 in cash was released to the former owners of iFrogz and $200 was retained in escrow to cover legal fees related to a pre-acquisition lawsuit brought by a former iFrogz employee during the fourth quarter of 2012. At the time of the release of the $4,800, the former owners of iFrogz signed an agreement to guarantee any legal fees that exceeded the $200 retained in escrow. A loss is not considered probable related to this case and thus no liability or indemnification asset has been recorded. As of the date of these financial statements, the Company was not aware of any other contingencies or potential indemnity claims.

The following summarizes the components of the purchase price (in thousands):

Value of ZAGG shares issued:

ZAGG shares issued with 6-month restriction	$	23,800
ZAGG shares issued with 12-month restriction		22,400
		46,200
Cash consideration		50,000
Total	$	96,200

The total purchase price of $96,200 was allocated to tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their respective fair values.  The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed was recorded as goodwill.  Fair values assigned were based on reasonable methods applicable to the nature of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed.  The following table summarizes the allocation of the purchase consideration:

Cash and cash equivalents	$	2,469
Trade receivables ($5,880 contractual gross receivables)		5,832
Inventories		14,962
Prepaid expenses		579
Property and equipment		2,078
Deposits		138
Definite-lived identifiable intangible assets		49,900
Indefinite-lived identifiable intangible assets		25,100
Goodwill		6,925
Current liabilities		(11,783	)
Total	$	96,200

As part of the acquisition of iFrogz, the Company incurred legal, accounting, and other due diligence fees that were expensed when incurred. Total fees incurred related to the acquisition of iFrogz for the twelve months ended December 31, 2011, were $1,947, which were included as a component of selling, general, and administrative expenses in the consolidated statement of operations. No expenses were incurred in 2012.

Identifiable Intangible Assets

Classes of acquired intangible assets include customer relationships, trademarks, non-compete agreements, and other intangibles.  The fair value of the identifiable intangible assets was determined using various valuation methods, including the income and market approaches.  For assets valued under the income approach, the estimate of the present value of expected future cash flows for each identifiable asset was based on discount rates which incorporate a risk premium to take into account the risks inherent in those expected cash flows.  The expected cash flows were estimated using available historical data adjusted based on the Company’s historical experience and the expectations of market participants.  The market approach was utilized to determine appropriate royalty rates applied to the valuation of the trademarks and patents.  The amounts assigned to each class of intangible asset and the related weighted average amortization periods are as follows:

	Intangible asset class		Weighted-average amortization period
Customer relationships	$	41,500	8.0 years
Trademarks (indefinite-lived)		25,100	Indefinite
Trademarks (definite-lived)		3,500	9.7 years
Non-compete agreements		4,100	4.8 years
Other		800	3.8 years
Total	$	75,000

As discussed in Note 7, the EarPollution trademark was originally recorded as an indefinite-lived intangible asset as presented in the table above. However, as of December 31, 2012, management concluded that it should be considered a definite-lived asset due to change in brand strategy.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the iFrogz purchase price over the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed.

The Company believes that the acquisition of iFrogz will produce the following significant benefits:

·   Create Leading Mobile Device Accessories Company.  The combination of ZAGG and iFrogz has created a leading mobile device accessories company with diverse but complementary product lines, and a combined focus on creating both innovative and functional products in the ever-evolving market of mobile device accessories.

·   Increased Market Presence.  The combination of ZAGG and iFrogz has created an opportunity to capture additional market share domestically and globally from both existing and new customers.

The Company believes that these primary factors support the amount of goodwill recognized as a result of the purchase price paid for iFrogz, in relation to the other acquired tangible and intangible assets.

The goodwill acquired in the acquisition is deductible for income tax purposes and will be amortized over a period of 15 years.

Results of Operations

For the year ended December 31, 2011, iFrogz contributed net sales of $36,046 and net loss before tax of $1,461 to the consolidated statement of operations. In addition, iFrogz leases office space from its former owners for monthly rent of $14.

Pro forma Results from Operations

The following table contains unaudited pro-forma results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2011 and 2010.  The unaudited pro-forma results from operations give effect as if the acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2010, after giving effect to certain adjustments including the amortization of intangible assets, interest expense, tax adjustments, specific transaction related expenses incurred prior to the execution date, and assumes the purchase price was allocated to the assets purchased and liabilities assumed based on their values at the date of purchase.

	Year Ended
	December 31, 2011		December 31, 2010
Net sales	$	204,540	$	117,073
Net income	$	17,783	$	9,434

For the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, pro forma net income includes projected amortization expense of $9,038 and $6,491, respectively.  The unaudited pro forma information is presented for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the operating results that would have occurred had the transaction been consummated for the dates indicated.  Furthermore, such unaudited pro forma information is not necessarily indicative of future operating results of the combined companies, due to changes in operating activities following the purchase, and should not be construed as representative of the operating results of the combined companies for any future dates or periods.

Dec. 31, 2012

Business Description and Basis Of Presentation [Abstract]

ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(1)  ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Company

We were formed as a Nevada corporation on April 2, 2004, under the name Amerasia Khan Enterprises Ltd (“AKE”).  On February 8, 2007, AKE executed an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) by and between AKE and its wholly owned subsidiary, SZC Acquisition, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Subsidiary”) on the one hand, and ShieldZone Corporation, a Utah corporation (“ShieldZone”) on the other hand. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, ShieldZone merged with Subsidiary, with ShieldZone surviving the merger and Subsidiary ceasing to exist (the “Merger”).

Following the Merger, ShieldZone was reincorporated in Nevada as a subsidiary of AKE. On March 7, 2007, ShieldZone was merged into AKE and AKE changed its name to ZAGG Incorporated. As a result of these transactions, the historical financial statements of ZAGG Incorporated are the historical financial statements of ShieldZone.

We changed our name from ShieldZone Corporation to ZAGG Incorporated to better position the company to become a large enterprise in the electronics’ accessories industry through organic growth and through making targeted acquisitions.  The ShieldZone name was very specific to the invisibleSHIELD product line, and although the invisibleSHIELD® is a core product, the name change has brought us the opportunity to easily add new products to our product offering. During 2011, we changed our name from ZAGG Incorporated to ZAGG Inc.

On June 21, 2011, ZAGG acquired 100% of the outstanding shares of iFrogz, which further diversified the existing ZAGG product line, particularly for audio and protective case accessories.

The Company designs, produces, and distributes creative product solutions such as protective coverings, keyboards, keyboard cases, earbuds, mobile power solutions, and device cleaning accessories for mobile devices under the family of ZAGG brands. Within the family of ZAGG brand are products sold under the following brand names:  invisibleSHIELD®, ZAGGskins™, ZAGGbuds™, ZAGGsparq™, ZAGGfolio™, ZAGGmate™, ZAGGkeys™, ZAGGkeys PRO™, ZAGGkeys PRO Plus™, ZAGGkeys PROfolio, ZAGGkeys PROfolio+, ZAGGkeys MINI 7, and ZAGGkeys MINI 9.

In addition, the Company designs, produces, and distributes cases, Near-Field Audio™ amplifying speakers, earbuds, traditional headphones, and gaming headphones for mobile devices under the family of iFrogz brands in the value-priced lifestyle sector. Within the iFrogz brand are products sold under the following brand names: iFrogz™, Earpollution™, Caliber™, and Animatone™.

Use of estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“US GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.  Significant items subject to such estimates include the allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory reserve, sales returns liability, the useful life of property and equipment, the useful life of intangible assets, the recoverability of goodwill and intangible assets, the fair value of the investment in HzO, Inc. (“HzO”), stock-based compensation, and income taxes.  These estimates and assumptions are based on management’s best estimates and judgment. Management evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors, including the economic environment, which management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Management adjusts such estimates and assumptions when facts and circumstances dictate an adjustment is necessary.

Principles of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of ZAGG Inc and its wholly owned subsidiaries ZAGG International Distribution Limited (“ZAGG International”), ZAGG Intellectual Property Holding Co, Inc., ZAGG Retail, Inc., iFrogz, Inc., and iFrogz Europe SAS (“iFrogz Europe”). All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

At December 31, 2010, HzO was consolidated by the Company as a variable interest entity (VIE).  On December 22, 2011, HzO entered into an Amended Series B Stock Purchase Agreement with a group of third party investors. ZAGG considered this a reconsideration event and concluded that as of December 22, 2011, HzO should no longer be considered a VIE under authoritative accounting literature, but was considered a voting interest entity. Ultimately, management concluded that HzO should no longer be consolidated into the ZAGG financials as of December 31, 2011. This transaction and the related accounting is discussed in detail at Note 5, Investment in HzO and Noncontrolling Interest. Since December 22, 2011, management has accounted for its investment in HzO as an equity method investment. HzO is a private company engaged in the development of water-blocking technologies for consumer and industrial applications.

Cash equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.  Amounts receivable from credit card processors are also considered cash equivalents because they are both short-term and highly liquid in nature and are typically converted to cash within three days of the sales transaction. Amounts receivable from credit card processors at December 31, 2012 and 2011 totaled $21 and $362, respectively. Cash equivalents as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, consisted primarily of money market fund investments and amounts receivable from credit card processors.

Fair value measurements

The Company measures at fair value certain financial and non-financial assets by using a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, essentially an exit price, based on the highest and best use of the asset or liability. The levels of the fair value hierarchy are:

Level 1 — Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2 — Significant other observable inputs (e.g., quoted prices for similar items in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar items in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable such as interest rate and yield curves, and market-corroborated inputs); and

Level 3 — Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting unit to develop its own assumptions.

Accounts receivable

The Company sells its products to end users through indirect distribution channels and other resellers who are extended credit terms after an analysis of their financial condition and credit worthiness.  Credit terms to distributors and resellers, when extended, are based on evaluation of the customers' financial condition.  Accounts receivable are recorded at invoiced amounts and do not bear interest.

The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of customers to make required payments.  Management regularly evaluates the allowance for doubtful accounts considering historical losses adjusted to take into account current market conditions, customers’ financial condition, receivables in dispute, receivables aging, and current payment patterns. Account balances are written off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote.  Payments subsequently received on written off receivables are credited to bad debt expense in the period of recovery.

The following summarizes the activity in the Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010:

	For the Year Ended December 31,
	2012			2011			2010
Balance at beginning of year	$	2,070		$	904		$	685
Additions charged to expense		2,101			1,657			219
Write-downs charged against the allowance		(1,197	)		(491	)		—
Recoveries of amounts previously charged off		—			—			—
Balance at end of year	$	2,974		$	2,070		$	904

Inventories

Inventories, consisting primarily of finished goods and raw materials, are valued at the lower of cost, determined on a first in, first out basis, or market.  Management performs periodic assessments to determine the existence of obsolete, slow moving, and non-saleable inventories, and records necessary write downs in cost of sales to reduce such inventories to net realizable value. Once established, the original cost of the inventory less the related inventory write down represents the new cost basis of such products.

Property and equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost.  Depreciation expense is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.  Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the useful life of the asset or the term of the lease.

Major additions and improvements are capitalized, while costs for minor replacements, maintenance and repairs that do not increase the useful life of an asset are expensed as incurred.  Upon retirement or other disposition of property and equipment, the cost and related accumulated depreciation or amortization are removed from the accounts.  The resulting gain or loss is reflected in selling, general and administrative expense.

Intangibles assets

Intangible assets include internet addresses, patents, intellectual property, and acquired intangibles in connection with the acquisition of iFrogz, which include customer relationships, trademarks, non-compete agreements, and other miscellaneous intangible assets.

Definite-lived intangible assets are amortized over their estimated economic lives, using a straight-line or accelerated method consistent with the underlying expected future cash flows related to the specific intangible asset.  Amortization expense is recorded within cost of sales or operating expense depending on the underlying intangible assets.

The sole indefinite-lived intangible asset at December 31, 2012 was the iFrogz trademark.

Impairment of long-lived assets

Long-lived assets, such as property and equipment, our investment in HzO, and definite-lived intangible assets, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If circumstances require a long-lived asset or asset group be tested for possible impairment, recoverability of long-lived assets is measured by comparison of its carrying amount to the undiscounted cash flows that the asset or asset group is expected to generate over the remaining life in measuring whether the assets are recoverable.  If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds its fair value.  Fair value is determined through various valuation techniques including discounted cash flow models, quoted market values and third-party independent appraisals, as considered necessary.

Impairment of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets

Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets carried on the balance sheet at December 31, 2012 were acquired as part of the acquisition of iFrogz on June 21, 2011. The Company does not amortize goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives.

At least annually and when events and circumstances warrant an evaluation, we perform an impairment assessment of goodwill. This assessment initially permits an entity to make a qualitative assessment of whether it is more likely than not that a reporting unit’s fair value is less than its carrying amount before applying the two-step goodwill impairment test. If an entity can support the conclusion that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, it would not need to perform the two-step impairment test for the reporting unit.

However, if it is determined that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, the two step analysis is performed, which incorporates a fair-value based approach. We determine the fair value of our reporting units based on discounted cash flows and market approach analyses as considered necessary, and consider factors such as a weakened economy, reduced expectations for future cash flows coupled with a decline in the market price of our stock and market capitalization for a sustained period as indicators for potential goodwill impairment. If the reporting unit’s carrying amount exceeds its estimated fair value, a second step must be performed to measure the amount of the goodwill impairment loss, if any. The second step compares the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill, determined in the same manner as the amount of goodwill recognized in a business combination, with the carrying amount of such goodwill. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of that goodwill, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess. During the fourth quarter of 2012, management recorded a goodwill impairment of $5,440. No impairments were recorded in 2011 or 2010.

Indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested for impairment annually, or, more frequently upon the occurrence of a triggering event. Initially, a qualitative analysis is performed to determine whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative impairment test for indefinite-lived intangible assets. A quantitative assessment is only performed if it is determined in the qualitative analysis that it is more likely than not that the asset is impaired.

If it is determined in the qualitative analysis that it is more likely than not that the asset is impaired, the Company evaluates the recoverability of an indefinite-lived intangible asset by comparing the indefinite-lived intangible asset’s book value to its estimated fair value. The fair value for indefinite-lived intangible assets is determined by performing cash flow analysis and other market evaluations. If the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible assets is less than book value, the difference is recognized as an impairment loss. During the fourth quarter of 2012, the Company made an important brand strategy adjustment to place greater emphasis on the promotion of our core brands, ZAGG and iFrogz. As a result of this decision, the Company determined that future cash flows under the EarPollution trademark would be less than previously estimated and that the trademark should be considered a definite-lived intangible asset. Management performed an impairment analysis and recorded an impairment of $5,917 related to the EarPollution trademark. As the trademark is now considered a definite-lived intangible, the Company will commence amortizing the trademark on an accelerated basis over an eight-year life consistent with our projected future cash flows from the trademark.  No impairments were recorded in 2011 or 2010.

The Company performs its goodwill and intangible asset impairment tests in the fourth quarter of each fiscal year. The Company established reporting units based on its current reporting structure. For purposes of testing goodwill for impairment, goodwill is assigned to a reporting unit.  All goodwill was assigned to the iFrogz reporting unit.

Contingencies

Liabilities for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines, and penalties and other sources are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated.  Legal costs incurred in connection with loss contingencies are expensed as incurred.

Revenue recognition

We record revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, product delivery has occurred, the sales price to the customer is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured.  Our revenue is derived from sales of our products through our indirect channel, including retailers and distributors; through our direct channel including www.ZAGG.com, www.iFrogz.com, and our corporate-owned and third-party-owned mall kiosks; and from the fees derived from the sale of exclusive independent distributor licenses related to the kiosk program.  For sales of product, our standard shipping terms are FOB shipping point, and we record revenue when the product is shipped, net of estimated returns and discounts.  For some customers, the contractual shipping terms are FOB destination.  For these shipments, we record revenue when the product is delivered, net of estimated returns and discounts.  For license fees, we recognize revenue on a straight-line basis over the life of the license term. We record revenue from royalty agreements in the period in which the royalty is earned.

Promotional products given to customers or potential customers are recognized as a cost of sales. Cash incentives provided to our customers are recognized as a reduction of the related sale price and, therefore, are a reduction in sales.

Reserve for sales returns and warranty liability

For product sales, the Company records revenue, net of estimated returns and discounts, when products are shipped and the customer takes ownership and assumes risk of loss, collection of the relevant receivable is probable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists and the sales price is fixed or determinable. Our return policy generally allows its end users and retailers to return purchased products.  In addition, the Company generally provides the ultimate consumer a warranty with each product.  Due to the nature of the invisibleSHIELD product line, returns for the invisibleSHIELD are generally not salvageable and are not included in inventory.  We estimate a reserve for sales returns and warranty and record the estimated reserve amount as a reduction of sales, and as a sales return reserve liability.  When product is returned and is expected to be resold, as is the case with returns of iFrogz products, the reserve is recorded as a reduction of revenues and cost of sales, and as a sales return reserve liability. The estimate for sales returns and warranty requires management to make significant estimates regarding return rates for sales and warranty returns.  Historical experience, actual claims, and customer return rights are the key factors used in determining the estimated sales return and warranty reserve.

The following summarizes the activity in the Company’s sales return and warranty liability for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010:

	For the Year Ended December 31,
	2012			2011			2010
Balance at beginning of year	$	5,387		$	2,068		$	550
iFrogz sales reserve at acquisition		—			524			—
Additions charged to sales		12,954			12,906			7,048
Sales returns & warranty claims charged against reserve		(11,644	)		(10,111	)		(5,530	)
Balance at end of year	$	6,697		$	5,387		$	2,068

Income taxes

The Company recognizes deferred income tax assets or liabilities for expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the financial statements or tax returns.  Under this method, deferred income tax assets or liabilities are determined based upon the difference between the financial statement and income tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates expected to apply when differences are expected to be settled or realized.  Deferred income tax assets are reviewed for recoverability and valuation allowances are provided when it is more likely than not that a deferred tax asset will not be realizable in the future.  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 recognizes the effect of income tax positions only if those positions are more likely than not of being sustained. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in judgment occurs. The Company records estimated interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits, if any, as a component of income tax provision.

The Company has foreign subsidiaries formed or acquired to conduct or support its business outside the United States. The Company does not provide for U.S. income taxes on undistributed earnings for its foreign subsidiaries as the foreign earnings will be permanently reinvested in such foreign jurisdictions.

Stock-based compensation

The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense in its consolidated financial statements for awards granted to employees and non-employees, which include restricted stock, stock options, and warrants.  Equity-classified awards are measured at the grant date fair value of the award. The fair value of restricted stock is measured on the grant date based on the quoted closing market price of the Company’s common stock.  The fair value of the stock options is measured on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model based on the underlying common stock closing price as of the date of grant, the expected term, stock price volatility, and risk-free interest rates.  The Company recognizes compensation expense net of estimated forfeitures on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award, which is generally the vesting term of the award.  No compensation cost is ultimately recognized for awards for which employees do not render the requisite service and are forfeited.  Excess tax benefits of awards that are recognized in equity related to stock option exercises are reflected as financing cash inflows.

Advertising and marketing

General advertising is expensed as incurred. Advertising allowances provided to retailers are recorded as an expense at the time of the related sale if the Company receives an identifiable benefit in exchange for the consideration and has evidence of fair value for the advertising; otherwise, the allowance is recorded as a reduction of revenue. Advertising expenses for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 were $12,495, $10,246 and $5,067, respectively.

Foreign currency translation and transactions

The Company’s primary operations are at the parent level which uses the U.S. dollar (USD) as its functional currency.   The Euro is the functional currency of the Company’s ZAGG International and iFrogz Europe subsidiaries.  Accordingly, assets and liabilities for these subsidiaries are translated into USD using exchange rates in effect at the end of each period. Revenue and expenses for these subsidiaries are translated using rates that approximate those in effect during the period. Gains and losses from these translations are recorded as a component of stockholders’ equity.  Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in income as a component of other income and (expense) in the consolidated statements of operations and totaled ($17), $60 and ($16) for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Earnings per share

Basic earnings per common share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net income attributable to stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.  Diluted earnings per common share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if stock options or other common stock equivalents were exercised or converted into common stock. The dilutive effect of stock options or other common stock equivalents is calculated using the treasury stock method.

The following is a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used to calculate basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010:

	2012		2011		2010
Net income attributable to stockholders	$	14,505	$	18,248	$	9,963
Weighted average shares outstanding		30,339		27,133		22.518
Dilutive effect of stock options, restricted stock, and warrants		1,317		1,949		1,744
Diluted shares		31,656		29,082		24,262
Earnings per share attributable to stockholders:
Basic	$	0.48	$	0.67	$	0.44
Dilutive	$	0.46	$	0.63	$	0.41

For the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011, and 2010, restricted stock, warrants and stock options to purchase 169, 103, and 1,157 shares of common stock, respectively, were not considered in calculating diluted earnings per share because the warrant or stock option exercise prices or the total expected proceeds under the treasury stock method for the warrants, restricted stock, or stock options was greater than the average market price of common shares during the period and, therefore, the effect would be anti-dilutive.

Recent accounting pronouncements

In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-11, Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. ASU 2011-11 requires an entity to disclose information about offsetting and related arrangements to enable users of financial statements to understand the effect of those arrangements on its financial position, and to allow investors to better compare financial statements prepared under U.S. GAAP with financial statements prepared under International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). The new standards are effective for annual periods beginning January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. Retrospective application is required. The Company will implement the provisions of ASU 2011-11 as of January 1, 2013, and is still evaluating the impact on the Company’s financial statements.

SEGMENT REPORTING

(15)  SEGMENT REPORTING

The operating segments reported below are the Company’s segments for which separate financial information is available and upon which operating results are evaluated by the chief operating decision maker on a timely basis to assess performance and to allocate resources.

Prior to the Company’s acquisition of iFrogz, the Company was a single reporting segment consistent with the nature of its operations. Due to the acquisition, the Company has reassessed its reporting segments and concluded that it will analyze its worldwide operations based on the following three reportable segments:

·   ZAGG segment — This segment designs, produces, and distributes creative product solutions such as protective coverings, keyboards, keyboard cases, earbuds, mobile power solutions, and device cleaning accessories for mobile devices under the family of ZAGG brands. Within the family of ZAGG brand are products sold under the following brand names:  invisibleSHIELD®, ZAGGskins™, ZAGGbuds™, ZAGGsparq™, ZAGGfolio™, ZAGGmate™, ZAGGkeys™, ZAGGkeys PRO™, ZAGGkeys PRO Plus™, ZAGGkeys MINI 7, and ZAGGkeys MINI 9.

·   iFrogz segment—This segment designs, produces, and distributes cases, Near-Field Audio™ amplifying speakers, earbuds, traditional headphones, and gaming headphones for mobile devices under the family of iFrogz brands in the value-priced lifestyle sector. Within the iFrogz brand are products sold under the following brand names: iFrogz™, Earpollution™, Caliber™, and Animatone™.

·   HzO segment—This segment is engaged in the development of water blocking coating technologies for consumer and industrial applications. As discussed in Note 5, HzO was deconsolidated as of December 22, 2011; however, management has continued to report HzO’s operations within the segment reporting below.

The Company evaluates segment performance based on the segment’s income from operations. Other income (expense), which includes interest expense, is not presented by segment since it is not included in the measure of segment profitability reviewed by the chief operating decision maker. All inter-segment transactions have been eliminated.  Information concerning our operations by reportable segment is as follows (in thousands):

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

(10)  FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

At December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company’s financial instruments included cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, a note receivable, a line of credit with PNC Bank (as of December 31, 2011 only), term loan with Cerberus Business Finance, LLC (as of December 31, 2011 only), a line of credit with Wells Fargo (as of December 31, 2012 only), and a term loan with Wells Fargo (as of December 31, 2012 only). The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximates fair value due to the short-term maturities of these financial instruments.  The carrying value of the debt balances approximate fair value because the variable interest rates reflect current market rates.

In addition, as discussed in Note 11, management records an impairment on the note receivable if the fair value of the underlying collateral is less than the carrying amount.  Management determined the fair value of assets that collateralize the note receivable, which includes real property, interests in entities that own real property, and 80 shares of the Company’s stock that carry a restrictive legend until two months after the note receivable is paid in full.  Management determined that the fair value of the collateral exceeded the carrying value of the note receivable at December 31, 2012.

Fair Value Measurements

The Company measures at fair value certain financial and non-financial assets by using a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, essentially an exit price, based on the highest and best use of the asset or liability. The levels of the fair value hierarchy are:

Level 1 — Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2 — Significant other observable inputs (e.g., quoted prices for similar items in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar items in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable such as interest rate and yield curves, and market-corroborated inputs); and

Level 3 — Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting unit to develop its own assumptions.

At December 31, 2012 and 2011, the following assets and liabilities were measured at fair value on a recurring basis using the level of inputs shown (in thousands):

			Fair Value Measurements Using:
	December 31, 2012		Level 1 Inputs		Level 2 Inputs		Level 3 Inputs
Money market funds included in cash equivalents	$	452	$	452		—		—

	December 31, 2011		Level 1 Inputs		Level 2 Inputs		Level 3 Inputs
Money market funds included in cash equivalents	$	1,452	$	1,452		—		—

Non-Recurring Fair Value Measurements

The Company also measures the fair value of certain assets on a non-recurring basis, generally quarterly, annually or when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. These assets include goodwill, intangible assets, property and equipment, asset purchase credits, and collateral securing the note receivable.

The following tables presents assets held as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis using the level of inputs shown at the time of impairment (in thousands).

	December 31, 2012		Level 1 Inputs		Level 2 Inputs		Level 3 Inputs
Goodwill	$	1,484		—		—	$	1,484
EarPollution trademark	$	2,383		—		—	$	2,383

As discussed in Note 7, management performed an impairment analysis over each asset and ultimately recorded a $5,440 goodwill impairment and an impairment of $5,917 on the EarPollution trademark. Thus, the balances in the table reflect the fair value at December 31, 2012. The fair value of goodwill and the EarPollution trademark were determined using various valuation methods, including the income and market approaches. Under the income approach, the estimate of the present value of expected future cash flows was based on discount rates which incorporate a risk premium to take into account the risks inherent in those expected cash flows. The expected cash flows were estimated using available historical operating data projected into the future based on the Company’s current expectations.  Various market approaches were utilized to determine appropriate royalty rates applicable to the valuation of the EarPollution trademark, to determine appropriate comparable company market multiples to estimate the value of the iFrogz reporting unit, and to estimate the overall value of the consolidated entity.

			Fair Value Measurements Using:
	December 31, 2011		Level 1 Inputs		Level 2 Inputs		Level 3 Inputs
Note receivable	$	1,915	$	566	$	1,089	$	260

In 2011, the note receivable (discussed in Note 11) was recorded at the fair value of the underlying collateral.  Management considered the 80 shares of ZAGG common stock to be a Level 1 asset as quoted market prices exist. The real estate holdings were considered Level 2 assets as significant observable inputs exist for similar items in active markets. The investments in real estate companies, and private company preferred stock and warrants were considered Level 3 assets as the value was determined based on unobservable inputs.

The fair value of the real estate companies was determined using the market approach and the key inputs were comparable properties and investments. The fair value of the private company preferred stock was determined using various valuation methods, including the income and market approaches. Under the income approach, the estimate of the present value of expected future cash flows was based on discount rates which incorporate a risk premium to take into account the risks inherent in those expected cash flows. The expected cash flows were estimated using available historical operating data projected into the future based on the Company’s current expectations. The market approach was utilized to determine appropriate comparable company market multiples to estimate the value of the entity and the Company’s investment in preferred stock. The fair value of the warrants to purchase private company preferred stock were calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model whereby estimates of volatility, the private company’s preferred stock value, and the risk-free rate were key inputs.

The Company recorded impairment charges of $1,489 during the year ended December 31, 2011, related to the note receivable and the underlying collateral assets held as of December 31, 2011, measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis. Level 3 assets comprise $125 of the impairment charge. These impairment charges were recorded as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses in the 2011 consolidated statement of operations.

There were no impairment charges during the year ended December 31, 2010, related to assets held and measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis.

NOTES RECEIVABLE

(11)  NOTE RECEIVABLE

In June 2008, Lorence Harmer became a member of the Company’s board of directors and in December 2009, was appointed as the chairman of the Audit Committee.  Mr. Harmer introduced the Company to a consumer electronics product, which became known as the ZAGGbox.  The ZAGGbox was intended to aggregate digital content such as music, pictures, videos and movies into a single location so that users could share the content with most other networked media players, including mobile devices.  After investigating the market opportunity for the ZAGGbox, the Company determined in June 2009 that it wished to obtain certain rights for the development and sale of the ZAGGbox in North America.  The Company entered into negotiations with Teleportall, LLC (“Teleportall”), the owner of the technology used in the ZAGGbox, regarding production and distribution of the ZAGGbox.  On June 17, 2009, the Company issued its initial purchase order for ZAGGbox units in the amount of $3,500 and advanced to Teleportall a total of $1,153 representing a $200 non-recurring engineering (NRE) fee and $953 in payment of 30% of the total purchase price for the units ordered by the Company.  Mr. Harmer participated in the negotiations between the Company and Teleportall, and continued to represent the Company throughout 2009 and 2010 concerning the ZAGGbox.  In May 2010, the Company entered into a Distribution and License Agreement with Teleportall, which memorialized Teleportall’s agreement to manufacture and deliver ZAGGboxes to the Company and appointed the Company as the exclusive distributor for the ZAGGbox in North American.  Additionally, in May 2010, the Company entered into an agreement with Harmer Holdings, LLC, an affiliate of Mr. Harmer, under which Harmer Holdings, LLC agreed to repurchase unsold ZAGGboxes under certain circumstances.

Teleportall proceeded to develop the ZAGGbox and provided periodic progress reports to the Company.  However, Teleportall did not deliver the product in time for the 2009 Christmas selling season.  Subsequently, during the December 1, 2009, meeting of the Board of Directors of the Company, Mr. Harmer disclosed to the other members of the Board that he owned an interest in Teleportall.  After a discussion about his financial interest in Teleportall during that meeting, Mr. Harmer stated he was willing to divest himself of any ownership in Teleportall, and the Board of Directors voted unanimously to accept Mr. Harmer’s proposal that he would do so, and assumed thereafter that Mr. Harmer had completed his divestiture.

The development of the product continued in 2010 with the expectation that the product would be delivered in time for the 2010 Christmas selling season.  The Company made additional payments for long lead-time parts to Teleportall in the aggregate amount of $2,747.  When it became obvious to the Company that the product would not be ready to market and sell during the 2010 Christmas season, the Company commenced discussions to restructure the Distribution and License Agreement with Teleportall.  During the course of those discussions, the Company learned in January 2011 that Mr. Harmer did not divest himself of any interest in Teleportall following the December 2009 meeting of the Board of Directors of the Company where he agreed to do so, but retained an indirect ownership interest of 25% in Teleportall as well as other entities potentially affiliated with the ZAGGbox.  As a result of the foregoing, the Company entered into an agreement with Teleportall, Mr. Harmer and several entities owned or controlled by Mr. Harmer (the “Harmer Agreement”), dated March 23, 2011, but subject to further negotiations and ratification through April 5, 2011.  Pursuant to the Harmer Agreement, the parties agreed to terminate the Distribution and License Agreement on the following terms:

·   Mr. Harmer, Teleportall, and certain of their affiliates delivered a promissory note (the “Note”) dated March 23, 2011, to the Company in the original principal amount of $4,126 which accrues interest at the rate of LIBOR plus 4% per annum (adjusted quarterly) payable as follows: (i) interest only payments (a) on September 23, 2011, and (b) thereafter on or before the last day of each calendar quarter, (ii) 50% of the net profits of each ZAGGbox sale by Teleportall and its affiliates to be applied, first, to accrued interest and, second, to the principal balance of the Note, and (iii) the unpaid balance of principal and interest due in full on March 23, 2013. The principal amount of the Note is equal to the aggregate amount of the payments made by the Company to Teleportall plus the internal cost of the ZAGGbox project incurred by the Company.  The Note is secured by certain real property, interests in entities that own real property and restricted and free-trading securities.

·   Teleportall and the Company entered into a License Agreement on March 23, 2011 under which the Company licensed to Teleportall the use of certain ZAGG names and trademarks to sell and distribute the ZAGGbox product.  Teleportall will pay ZAGG a 10% royalty on net sales of ZAGGboxes per calendar quarter as a license fee.

·   Teleportall and ZAGG entered into a non-exclusive, two year Commission Agreement on March 23, 2011, under which Teleportall could make introductions of many ZAGG products in all countries where ZAGG did not then have exclusive dealing agreements in respect of the marketing, distribution or sale of its products.  The Commission Agreement provided that (a) it would automatically terminate concurrent with any uncured default under the Note, and (b) the term could be extended for an additional time period on reasonable terms if Teleportall’s introductions during the initial two year term result in the purchase of no less than $25,000 of ZAGG products during the initial term.  Payment terms of the Commission Agreement are as follows:

·   10.0% commission payments on orders received by the Company from retailers and distributors first introduced to the Company by Teleportall during the first 60 days after the introduction is made (the “Load-in Period”) to be split 50/50 between cash to Teleportall and principal payments on the Note. However, all commission payments will be paid to ZAGG if Teleportall is in breach of the terms of the Note or any other agreements between the parties;

·   3.0% commission on all orders within the first 24 months after the Load-in Period, and 2.0% thereafter, from retailers and distributors first introduced to the Company as described under the terms set forth in the preceding bullet point.  The 3.0% and 2.0% commissions will be split 50/50 between cash to Teleportall and principal payments on the Note; and

·   3.0% commission on all orders generated in countries where Teleportall is paid commission under the terms of the preceding two bullet points (excluding the United States), regardless of Teleportall’s involvement in ZAGG’s receipt of the order until the first to occur of (i) payment in full of the Note, (ii) termination of the Commission Agreement or (iii) 24 months after the applicable Load-in Period.

No revenue has been recognized from Teleportall.

As part of the Harmer Agreement, the Company modified a previously granted stock option award to Mr. Harmer, which resulted in a charge of $1,560 that was recorded in the second quarter of 2011.  The charge was recorded in the second quarter of 2011 due to further negotiations and ratification on April 5, 2011.  The further negotiations concerned the restricted legend placed on 80 shares of stock subject to repayment of the Note.

The Note was originally accounted for under the cost recovery method and was originally included in the consolidated balance sheet at $3,900 which was the value of the ZAGGbox inventory advances.  The original face value of the Note of $4,126 was for reimbursement of the inventory advances and other costs associated with the ZAGGbox and approximated fair value at March 23, 2011, as the variable interest rate on the Note approximated market rates.

On September 20, 2011, and prior to the due date of the first interest-only payment due on the Note, Mr. Harmer and two of his affiliates, Harmer Holdings, LLC, (“Holdings”) and Teleportall, filed a lawsuit in Utah state court against the Company, Robert G. Pedersen, II (ZAGG’s now-former CEO), Brandon T. O’Brien (ZAGG’s CFO) and KPMG LLP (ZAGG’s independent registered public accounting firm).  KPMG has subsequently been dismissed from the lawsuit.  In their lawsuit, the plaintiffs allege that the defendants defamed Mr. Harmer, breached the Harmer Agreement and interfered with other rights of the plaintiffs. The Company has responded to the plaintiffs’ claims, denying all of the material allegations made by the plaintiffs.  The Company believes the plaintiff’s claims to be without merit and intends to vigorously defend against them.

Subsequently, Mr. Harmer failed to make the required interest-only payment to the Company due on September 23, 2011, and had until October 23, 2011, to cure the default. Mr. Harmer failed to cure the default by October 23, 2011, and on that date, management directed ZAGG legal counsel to commence foreclosure on the collateral securing the loan, which consists of real property, interests in entities that own real property, and restricted and free-trading securities, which included 45 shares of ZAGG common stock. In addition to the collateral, Mr. Harmer had also agreed that he would not sell 80 shares of ZAGG common stock until two months after the Note was paid in full.  Given the Note is full recourse, and the shares have a restrictive legend associated with repayment of the Note, the Company believes it can recover the 80 shares.

Given Mr. Harmer’s default on the loan on September 23, 2011, and failure to cure the default on October 23, 2011, management determined that it was probable that the Company would be unable to collect all amounts due from Mr. Harmer according to the terms of the Note. As the Note became collateral-dependent upon Mr. Harmer’s default, management engaged various third-party certified appraisers and valuation specialists to assist management in its determination of the fair value of the collateral and whether it is sufficient to recover the Note balance. As of December 31, 2012, management noted that the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral was between $1,576 and $1,712. As management has not been able to ascertain whether Mr. Harmer owns 50% or 100% of Holdings, management used the low end of the above range ($1,576) and compared it to the carrying amount of the note of $1,149.  The remaining note balance of $1,149 appears to be collectable given management’s best estimate of the cash recovery on the collateral securing the Note (fair value, less cost to sell) of $1,576. Additionally, during the third quarter of 2011, the Company reclassified $566 of the Note as an offset to equity, representing the collateral secured by ZAGG common stock, which management has taken steps to recover to repay the Note, as noted below. Ultimately, any recovery in excess of the carrying value of the Note will be recognized when realized.

We determined the fair values of the collateral of the note receivable, which required significant estimates and assumptions. Management determined the value of the 80 shares of ZAGG common stock held by Mr. Harmer based on quoted market prices. The real estate holdings were valued primarily based on the sales comparison approach as sales of comparable properties were utilized. The investments in real estate companies were valued utilizing comparable market sales, a discounted cash flow analysis, and other appropriate valuation methodologies including the use of the Black-Scholes option pricing model for the private company warrants.

Since the Note became collateral dependent in October 2011, management has (1) foreclosed and sold 45 shares of ZAGG common stock for $496 (December 2011); (2) foreclosed on real property valued at $250 (January 2012); and (3) foreclosed on stock and warrants in a private company of $516 (May 2012). These foreclosures were recorded as a reduction to the note receivable in the period in which the foreclosure occurred. Management continues to actively pursue the foreclosure of all remaining collateral.

At December 31, 2012, the total unpaid principal balance, including accrued interest, late fees and costs incurred in collection, totaled $3,445.

INVESTMENT IN HzO AND NONCONTROLLING INTEREST

Investment In Hzo [Abstract]

INVESTMENT IN HzO AND NONCONTROLLING INTEREST

(5)  INVESTMENT IN HzO AND NONCONTROLLING INTEREST

Noncontrolling interests are classified in the consolidated statements of operations as part of consolidated net income, and the accumulated amount of noncontrolling interests is included in the consolidated balance sheets as part of equity and redeemable noncontrolling interest. If a change in ownership of a consolidated subsidiary results in loss of control and deconsolidation, any retained ownership interests are remeasured with the gain or loss reported in net earnings.

At December 31, 2010, HzO, Inc. (“HzO”) was consolidated by the Company as a variable interest entity (“VIE”).  On August 12, 2011, HzO entered into a Series B Stock Purchase Agreement with third party investors whereby HzO issued 9,869 shares of its newly designated Series B Preferred Stock to new third party investors (collectively, the “HzO Investors”) for net cash of $2,335.  ZAGG considered this a reconsideration event and concluded that HzO remained a VIE and should continue to be consolidated as ZAGG was the primary beneficiary of HzO.

On December 22, 2011, HzO, entered into an Amended Series B Stock Purchase Agreement with another group of third party investors (collectively, the “new HzO investors”) whereby HzO issued 10,768 shares of Series B Preferred Stock for net cash of $3,000. ZAGG considered this a reconsideration event and concluded that as of December 22, 2011, HzO should no longer be considered a VIE under authoritative accounting literature, but was considered a voting interest entity. Management concluded that as ZAGG owned only 36.8% of HzO following the December 22, 2011 transaction and could not control HzO through voting interests, seats on the HzO Board of Directors, or through any other contractual agreement or method, HzO should be deconsolidated as of December 22, 2011.

The noncontrolling interest included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements is a result of noncontrolling interest investments in HzO up to the date of deconsolidation of December 22, 2011.

Management applied deconsolidation accounting guidance, which included analyzing ZAGG’s investment in HzO at December 22, 2011 to determine the fair value on the date of deconsolidation and the related gain or loss upon deconsolidation.  Management determined that the fair value of ZAGG’s investment in HzO at December 22, 2011 was $4,879. Appropriate valuation techniques were employed, including the use of the market approach that considered the recent equity transactions between HzO, the HzO Investors, and the new HzO investors, and an option pricing model. Ultimately, the fair value of ZAGG’s investment in HzO of $4,879 was recorded as ZAGG’s equity-method investment in HzO at December 22, 2011.  In addition, upon deconsolidation, ZAGG recorded a gain of $1,906, which was recorded as a component of other income (expense) in the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2011.

On October 23, 2012, HzO and the HzO Investors closed on the second tranche of financing under the Amendment to Series B Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) dated December 22, 2011. Under the terms of the Agreement, HzO issued 9,870 shares of Series B Preferred Stock to the HzO investors for cash of $2,500. Neither ZAGG nor ZAGG executives participated in this equity raise. Prior to this transaction, ZAGG held an ownership interest of 36.8% of the then-outstanding shares of HzO. Following this transaction, ZAGG held an ownership interest of 30.7% of the outstanding shares of HzO consisting of 18,361 Series A Preferred Shares. There were no other changes in ownership from the date of this transaction to December 31, 2012.

Management accounts for its investment in HzO under the equity method of accounting by recognizing ZAGG’s share of the earnings or losses of HzO in the periods in which they are reported by HzO in its separate financial statements, adjusted for the amortization of the basis difference between the Company’s investment in HzO and the Company’s underlying share in the net assets of HzO. For the year ended December 31, 2012, amortization of $313 was recorded. This amortization reduced the basis difference from $1,389 at December 31, 2011, to $1,076 at December 31, 2012. For the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company recorded a loss from investment in HzO of $2,866, which was recorded as a component of other income (expense) in the consolidated statement of operations.

HzO is a private company engaged in the development of water-blocking technologies for consumer and industrial applications.

ASSET PURCHASE CREDITS

Asset Purchase Credits [Abstract]

ASSET PURCHASE CREDITS

(4)  ASSET PURCHASE CREDITS

The Company entered into a nonmonetary exchange transaction with Argent Trading Inc. (“Argent”) during the second quarter of 2011 whereby the Company transferred inventory with a carrying value of $986 to Argent in exchange for asset purchase credits with a face value of $1,350.  The credits could have been used for the purchase of goods or services from certain vendors until March 1, 2016, when the unused asset purchase credits would have expired.

The Company accounted for this nonmonetary transaction based on the fair value of the inventory transferred, as the inventory’s fair value was more clearly evident than fair value of the asset purchase credits.  The Company determined that the inventory had a fair value of $785 at the date of the transfer and thus recorded an impairment loss on the inventory of $202, which was recorded as a component of cost of sales in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. The Company utilized $2 in asset purchase credits through the end of the second quarter of 2012.

On May 2, 2012, management assigned these credits to a supplier in exchange for discounts on future purchases of products from the supplier. Management expects the discounts received to at least equal the value of the asset purchase credits assigned and that the discounts will be realized over approximately a three-year period. Management continues to classify these assets within prepaid expenses and other current assets, and noncurrent other assets on the consolidated balance sheet based on when the discounts are expected to be realized. During the year ended December 31, 2012, management utilized $184 of the asset purchase credits, which reduced the book value of the asset and was recorded through cost of sales in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.

DEBT AND LETTERS OF CREDIT

(12)  DEBT AND LETTERS OF CREDIT

Wells Fargo Term Loan and Revolving Line of Credit Facility

On December 7, 2012, the Company and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo”), entered into a two-year, $84,000 credit facility (“Credit Agreement”) consisting of a $24,000 term loan (“Term Loan”) and a $60,000 revolving line of credit (“Line of Credit”), which Line of Credit includes a letter of credit sub-feature that allows the Company to issue standby commercial letters of credit against the Line of Credit, not to exceed at any time an aggregate of $10,000. The Company’s obligations under the Credit Agreement were secured by all or substantially all of the Company’s domestic assets and over 50% of the equity in foreign subsidiaries. As of December 31, 2012, the Company had an outstanding balance of $24,000 on the Term Loan, an outstanding balance of $22,173 on the Line of Credit, and no letters of credit had been issued.

The Term Loan requires quarterly payments of $2,000 payable on the first day of each quarter commencing on April 1, 2013, and continuing up to and including October 1, 2014. A final installment payment consisting of the remaining unpaid balance is due on December 1, 2014. A mandatory additional principal payment of $500 is required for each fiscal quarter in which total liabilities to tangible net worth (as those terms are defined in the Credit Agreement) exceeds 1.50 to 1.00, commencing with the Company’s fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2012. At December 31, 2012, no mandatory principal payment was required.

The outstanding principal balance of the Term Note bears interest (computed on the basis of a 360-day year, actual days elapsed) at a fixed rate per annum determined by the Bank to be the sum of the (1) LIBOR margin (with the initial LIBOR margin being set at 1.25%) and (2) LIBOR in effect on the first day of each Fixed Rate Term (as defined in the Credit Agreement).

Borrowings and repayments under the Line of Credit may occur from time to time in the Company’s ordinary course of business from December 7, 2012, through December 1, 2014.  Any outstanding borrowings under the Line of Credit mature and are due on December 1, 2014.

The outstanding principal balance under the Line of Credit bears interest (computed on the basis of a 360-day year, actual days elapsed) at a fluctuating rate per annum determined to be the sum of the (1) LIBOR margin (with the initial LIBOR margin being set at 1.25%) and (2) Daily Three Month LIBOR (as defined in the Credit Agreement) in effect from time to time.  

Pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement, Wells Fargo will adjust the LIBOR margin used to determine the rate of interest under the Line of Credit on a quarterly basis, commencing with the Company’s fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2012. The Applicable Libor Margin is calculated based on the Company's ratio of Total Liabilities to Tangible Net Worth (as these terms are defined in the Credit Agreement) in accordance with the following table:

Total Liabilities to Tangible Net Worth	Applicable LIBOR Margin
1.50 or greater		1.75	%
1.00 or greater, but less than 1.50		1.25	%
Less than 1.00		0.75	%

Under the Line of Credit Note, each such adjustment will be effective on the first business day of the Company’s fiscal quarter following the quarter during which the Bank receives and reviews the Company’s most current fiscal quarter-end financial statements in accordance with the requirements established by the Bank for the preparation and delivery thereof.

In addition, the Company agreed to pay Wells Fargo a quarterly fee based on the average unused amount of the Line of Credit depending on the Company’s Leverage Ratio (which term is defined in the Credit Agreement as Total Liabilities divided by Tangible Net Worth) based on the following table:

Leverage Ratio	Applicable Unused Commitment Fee (per annum)
1.50 or greater		0.20	%
1.00 or greater, but less than 1.50		0.15	%
Less than 1.00		0.10	%

At December 31, 2012, $4 in unused line fees had been incurred and was included as a component of interest expense in the consolidated statement of operations.

The weighted average interest rate on all outstanding borrowings at December 31, 2012, was 1.63%. At December 31, 2012, the effective interest rate was 2.31%.

The Company incurred and capitalized $238 of direct costs related to the issuance of the Term Loan and Line of Credit.  The Company amortizes these deferred loan costs under the effective interest rate method.  For the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company amortized $8 of these loan costs, which is included as a component of interest expense in the consolidated statement of operations.  The carrying value of deferred loan costs at December 31, 2012, was $230 and is included as a component of noncurrent other assets in the consolidated balance sheet.

Attached to the Credit Agreement are a number of financial and non-financial debt covenants. At December 31, 2012, the Company was in compliance with all covenants associated with the Credit Agreement.

Mandatory payments under the Credit Agreement are presented in the following table:

	Mandatory Payments
2013	$	6,000
2014		40,173
Total	$	46,173

PNC & Cerberus Term Loan and Revolving Credit Facility

On June 21, 2011, and in conjunction with the acquisition of iFrogz, the Company entered into a financing agreement (the “Financing Agreement”) led by Cerberus Business Finance, LLC (“Cerberus”) and PNC Bank National Association (“PNC”), which was acting as the administrative bank.  The Financing Agreement consisted of a $45,000 term loan (“Cerberus Term Loan”), a $45,000 revolving credit facility (“Revolving Credit Facility”), and a $5,000 letters of credit facility, which was a subset of the $45,000 Revolving Credit Facility.  The Company’s obligations under the Financing Agreement were secured by all or substantially all of the Company’s assets.  The Cerberus Term Loan matured on June 20, 2016, and the Revolving Credit Facility and letters of credit matured on June 20, 2014.

At December 31, 2011, the weighted average interest rate on all outstanding borrowings was 7.25%. At December 31, 2011, the effective interest rate was 8.02%.

There were no scheduled payments on either the Cerberus Term Loan or Revolving Credit Facility prior to maturity, though the Company made a $4,000 payment on the Cerberus Term Loan and a $23,000 payment on the Revolving Credit Facility during the first quarter of 2012.  The Financing Agreement called for prepayment of the Cerberus Term Loan if certain conditions are met.  The prepayment requirement commenced with the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011, and was calculated based on a percentage of “excess cash flow” as defined in the Financing Agreement.  Payment was required to be made within ten days of issuing the year-end consolidated financial statements.  Based on projections at December 31, 2011, the Company estimated that a prepayment of $2,372 would be required to be made during March 2012.  This amount was classified as current in the consolidated balance sheet, while the remaining Cerberus Term Loan balance and Revolving Credit Facility balance was classified as noncurrent.

Starting July 1, 2011, the Company began paying a commitment fee of 0.375% on the unused portion of the borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility based on the average principal amount outstanding for the month compared to $45,000. For the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company incurred $133 and $46, respectively, in commitment fees, which is included as a component of interest expense in the consolidated statement of operations.

The Company incurred and capitalized $2,538 of direct costs related to the issuance of the Cerberus Term Loan and Revolving Credit Facility.  Of the total amount incurred, $1,699 was directly related to the Cerberus Term Loan and $839 was directly related to the Revolving Credit Facility.  The Company amortized the deferred loan costs on the Cerberus Term Loan on the effective interest rate method and the deferred loan costs on the Revolving Credit Facility on a straight-line basis over the respective terms of the loan:  the Term Loan was being amortized through June 20, 2016, and the Revolving Credit Facility through June 20, 2014.  For the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company amortized $568 and $329, respectively, of these loan costs, which is included as a component of interest expense in the consolidated statement of operations.  In addition, during the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company recorded additional amortization of $132 through interest expense due to the $4,000 payment on the Term Loan prior to maturity.

As discussed above, on December 7, 2012, the Company paid off the entire outstanding balance on the Cerberus Term Loan and Revolving Credit Facilty, and the Financing Agreement with PNC and Cerberus was terminated. As this agreement was terminated, the Company wrote-off the remaining $1,509 balance of deferred loan costs during the fourth quarter of 2012, which is included as a component of interest expense on the consolidated statement of operations. In addition, the Company incurred a charge of $430 paid to PNC and Cerberus to terminate the credit agreement when the Company refinanced with Wells Fargo, which is classified as a component of interest expense in the consolidated statement of operations.

US Bank Line of Credit

Effective May 13, 2010, the Company entered into a Loan Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with U.S. Bank National Association (“US Bank”).  The Loan Agreement provided for revolving loans and other financial accommodations to or for the benefit of the Company of up to $5,000, to be used for working capital and other corporate purposes.  The Company’s obligations under the Loan Agreement and all related agreements were secured by all or substantially all of the Company’s assets.  The obligation of U.S. Bank to make advances under the Loan Agreement was subject to the conditions set forth in the Loan Agreement.  The Loan Agreement and the credit facility were to mature on May 13, 2011.

On March 8, 2011, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Loan Agreement (the “Amended and Restated Loan Agreement”) with U.S. Bank which provided for revolving loans and other financial accommodations to or for the benefit of the Company of a principal amount not to exceed $20,000.  Advances under the Amended and Restated Loan Agreement bear interest at LIBOR plus 1.75%.  The Amended and Restated Loan Agreement required the Company to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of no less than 1.25 to 1.00 measured quarterly on a trailing twelve month basis and a leverage ratio of no greater than 2.5 to 1.0 measured quarterly on a trailing twelve month basis.  The Amended and Restated Loan Agreement and the credit facility were to mature on March 15, 2012.

On June 21, 2011 the Company paid off the entire outstanding balance on the line of credit, and the Loan Agreement with U.S. Bank was terminated.

The tax effects of temporary differences that gave rise to significant portions of deferred tax assets and liabilities at December 31, 2012 and 2011, are as follows:

Deferred tax assets, net – noncurrent		6,596		82
Net deferred tax assets	$	13,508	$	5,214

At December 31, 2012, the Company recorded a full valuation allowance against a deferred tax asset generated by losses on its equity method investment in HzO. HzO is a development stage enterprise and given current operations and uncertainty of future profitability, management has determined that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax asset will not be realizable. Given this, a full valuation allowance of $713 has been recorded against the deferred tax asset.

The Company has not recorded a tax benefit at December 31, 2012 and 2011 for operating losses in France and the UK from operations of iFrogz Europe SAS (gross cumulative operating loss of $1,280). Operations for iFrogz Europe and ZAGG Europe have been transitioned to Ireland and therefore, we do not expect future taxable income within France and the UK to offset current net operating losses.

For all other deferred tax assets, no valuation allowance has been recorded at December 31, 2012 and 2011, as management believes it is more likely than not that the results of future operations will generate sufficient taxable income to realize its deferred tax assets.

The Company has not recognized a deferred tax liability for the undistributed earnings of its foreign operations that arose in 2012 and prior years as the Company considers these earnings to be indefinitely reinvested. Cash held by foreign entities that is considered permanently re-invested totaled $3,531 as of December 31, 2012. If this cash were repatriated to the United States, outside the settlement of intercompany payables, the Company would need to accrue and pay the related tax, however, the Company considers these funds permanently re-invested and has no plans to repatriate these funds.

The Company recognizes the impact of a tax position in the financial statements if that position is more likely than not of being sustained on audit, based on the technical merits of the position.  As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company recorded a tax contingency of $61 and $61, respectively, related to foreign taxes at the iFrogz segment.  For the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011, and 2010, the Company recorded $0, $0, and $201, respectively in interest and penalties, which were included as a component of income tax provision.

The Company is currently not under examination by any federal or state tax authority, but remains subject to income tax examinations for each of its open tax years, which extend back to 2009 for federal income tax purposes and 2008 for state income tax purposes.

GOODWILL & INTANGIBLE ASSETS

(7)  GOODWILL & INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Impairment of Goodwill and Intangible Assets

For the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company recorded an impairment of goodwill in the amount of $5,441 for its iFrogz reporting unit within the iFrogz operating segment when it was determined that the carrying value of goodwill exceeded its fair value, which was determined during an impairment analysis performed during the fourth quarter of 2012. In conjunction with the impairment test, the Company considered factors such as the overall decline in the market price of the company’s stock and decline in market capitalization for a sustained period as indicators for potential goodwill impairment. In determining the amount of impairment within the analysis, we considered both the income approach, utilizing a discounted cash flow analysis, and market approach, which considers what other purchasers and sellers in the market have paid for companies reasonably similar to the reporting unit.

The goodwill impairment of $5,441 is included as a component of impairment of goodwill and intangibles in the consolidated statement of operations.

The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the year ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, are as follows:

	2012			2011
Balance as of January 1
Gross goodwill	$	6,925		$	—
Accumulated impairment losses		—			—
Net goodwill as of January 1		6,925			—
Goodwill acquired during the year		—			6,925
Impairment loss		(5,441	)		—
Balance as of December 31
Gross goodwill		6,925			6,925
Accumulated impairment losses		(5,441	)		—
Net goodwill as of December 31	$	1,484		$	6,925

In addition, during the fourth quarter of 2012, the Company made an important brand strategy adjustment to place greater emphasis on the promotion of our core brands, ZAGG and iFrogz. As a result of this decision, we determined that future cash flows under the EarPollution trademark likely will be less than previously estimated and that the trademark should be considered a definite-lived intangible asset. Management performed an impairment analysis during the fourth quarter of 2012, relying on a discounted cash flow analysis and market approach, and determined that the carrying amount of the trademark exceeded the fair value and an impairment charge of $5,917 was recorded at December 31, 2012 as a component of the goodwill and impairment line in the consolidated statement of operations. As the trademark is now considered a definite-lived intangible, management will commence amortizing the trademark over an eight-year period on an accelerated basis consistent with our projected future cash flows from the trademark. Future amortization of this trademark is included in the estimated future amortization table below in this Note.

	December 31,

The Company wrote-off $139 in internally developed software acquired in the iFrogz acquisition as it was abandoned in December 2012. The charge is included as a component of the goodwill and impairment line in the consolidated statement of operations.

Customer relationships, trademarks, and other intangibles are amortized on an accelerated basis consistent with their expected future cash flows over their estimated useful life, which results in accelerated amortization.  The remaining definite-lived intangible assets are amortized using the straight line method over their estimated useful life.  For the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011, and 2010 amortization expense was $9,801, $4,921, and $12, respectively. Amortization expense was primarily recorded as a component of operating expense, however, amortization expense related to acquired technology in 2012, 2011, and 2010 of $69, $972, and $0, respectively, was recorded as a component of cost of sales. In addition, up until December 22, 2011 when HzO was deconsolidated (Note 5), the acquired technology intangible included HzO technology and the associated amortization of $972 was recorded through the ZAGG Inc consolidated statement of operations. As the deconsolidation occurred on December 22, 2011, the HzO technology asset is not included in the consolidated balance sheet of the Company at December 31, 2012 or 2011.

Estimated future amortization expense is as follows:

2013	$	9,590

STOCK OPTIONS AND WARRANTS

(9)  STOCK OPTIONS AND WARRANTS

In 2007, the Company’s board of directors adopted and in 2008 the Company’s shareholders approved the ZAGG Incorporated 2007 Stock Incentive Plan which provides for the issuance of up to 2,000 shares of common stock to the company’s directors, employees, consultants and advisors (the “2007 Incentive Plan”).  On July 16, 2009, the Company’s shareholders approved an amendment to the 2007 Incentive Plan to increase the number of shares issuable under the 2007 Incentive Plan to 5,000.  On June 23, 2011, the Company’s shareholders approved an amendment to the 2007 Incentive Plan to increase the number of shares issuable under the 2007 Incentive Plan to 10,000. As of December 31, 2012, there were approximately 6,020 shares available for grant under the 2007 Incentive Plan.

The 2007 Incentive Plan provides for awards in the form of options to acquire shares of common stock and restricted stock grants.  The 2007 Incentive Plan was administered by the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors.

On January 15, 2013, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted a new equity incentive award plan, named the ZAGG Inc 2013 Equity Incentive Award Plan (the “2013 Plan”) and directed that it be submitted to shareholders for their approval at the Company’s annual meeting in 2013.  The new plan is an “omnibus plan” under which stock options, stock appreciation rights, performance share awards, restricted stock, and restricted stock units can be awarded.  The 2013 Plan’s initial share reservation will be 5,000 shares.  The term of the plan is for 10 years from the date of its adoption.

Common Stock Options

Option awards are granted with an exercise price equal to the market price of the Company’s stock at the date of grant; those option awards generally vest based on three years of continuous service and have five-year contractual terms.

The fair value of stock options has been estimated as of the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. No stock options were granted during 2012. For the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 the following assumptions were used in determining the fair value of option grants:

	2011			2010
Expected dividend yield		0.0	%		0.0	%
Risk-free interest rate		1.21	%		1.20	%
Expected term (years)	3.5 years			3.5 years
Expected volatility		90.59	%		95.83	%

The Company determines the expected term of its stock option awards by using the simplified method, which assumes each vesting tranche of the award has a term equal to the midpoint between when the award vests and when the award expires. Expected volatility is calculated by weighting the Company’s historical stock price to calculate expected volatility over the expected term of each grant. If the Company’s historical stock price history does not cover the entire expected term, expected volatility is also weighted based on the average historical volatility of similar entities with publicly traded shares over the expected term of each grant. The risk-free interest rate for the expected term of each option granted is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant with a period that approximates the expected term of the option.

The following table summarizes the stock option activity for the Company’s stock incentive plan for the year ended December 31, 2012:

	Options			Weighted- Average Exercise Price		Weighted- Average Remaining Contractual Term		Aggregate Intrinsic Value
	(In thousands)			(Per share)		(In years)		(In thousands)
Outstanding at December 31, 2011		1,298		$	2.73		2.7
Granted		—			—
Exercised		(513	)		1.62
Forfeited/expired		(114	)		1.90
Outstanding at December 31, 2012		671		$	3.70		2.1	$	2,533
Exercisable at December 31, 2012		439		$	4.11		2.1	$	1,501

The weighted-average grant-date fair value of options granted during the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 was $0, $4.98, and $1.82, respectively. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, was $3,555, $8,170, and $2,016, respectively.

As of December 31, 2012, there was $318 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested stock options granted under the stock incentive plan. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 0.6 years. The total fair value of shares vested during the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, was $1,060, $2,638, and $615, respectively.

The Company recorded share-based compensation expense only for those options that are expected to vest.  The estimated fair value of the stock options is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award, which is generally the vesting term of the award. During the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, the Company recorded equity-based compensation expense of $1,008, $2,640 and $952, respectively, which is included as a component of selling, general and administrative expense.  The net tax benefit recognized on equity-based compensation expense for the year ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 was $181, $28, and 36, respectively.  The tax benefit realized from stock options exercised for the year ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 was $599, $1,838, and $708, respectively.

During the third quarter of 2012, the Company incurred an incremental charge of $154 that was the direct result of the Separation and Release of Claims Agreement (“Separation Agreement”) between the Company and Robert G. Pedersen II, the Company’s former chief executive officer. Under the terms of the Separation Agreement, Mr. Pedersen’s 32 unvested stock options will continue to vest under the original terms of the option grant. However, because future services to be performed by Mr. Pedersen are not considered substantive under US GAAP, the options were re-measured and the expense associated with these options was accelerated. In addition, the Company incurred a $910 charge during the third quarter of 2012 related to consulting fees due to Mr. Pedersen under the Separation Agreement, which is payable in monthly installments over the one-year term of the Separation Agreement.

During the second quarter of 2011, the Company incurred a charge of $1,560 related to the modification of a previously granted stock option, which is included as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses and additional paid in capital in the accompanying consolidated financial statements (see Note 11, Notes Receivable).

Warrants - During the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011, and 2010, the Company issued warrants to purchase common shares for investor relations consulting services of 50, 50, and 100, respectively. The 2012, 2011, and 2010 warrants are exercisable at $9.02, $9.05 and $2.58, respectively. The warrants expire five years from the grant date. The 2012 and 2011 grants were fully vested on the date of grant. The 2010 grant vested equally over the twelve month period from the grant date.  The 2012 and 2011 grants, and each vesting tranche of the 2010 grant was independently valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with separate assumptions for each tranche based on the fair value of the Company’s common stock on each vesting date, expected term equal to the remaining contractual term on each vesting date, expected volatility weighted between the Company’s historical volatility and the average historical volatility of similar entities with publicly traded shares over the expected term for each vesting date, and risk-free rate for the expected term based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect with a period that approximates the remaining contractual term for each vesting date.  For the year ended December 31, 2012, 2011, and 2010, the Company recorded expense of $311, $377, and $292, respectively, for these warrants. During 2010, the Company also issued warrants for 250 common shares exercisable at $8.53 per share expiring in 5 years and vesting immediately to Andrew Mason as part of the asset purchase agreement (see Note 13).

During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company issued warrants for consulting services for 20 common shares exercisable at $2.05 per share expiring in 1 year and vesting immediately; warrants for sales commissions to an independent third party for 175 common shares exercisable at $6.40 per share expiring in 1 year and vesting immediately; and additional warrants for sales commissions to an independent third party for 175 common shares exercisable at $4.00 per share expiring in 2.5 years and vesting immediately. Each warrant grant was independently valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.  For the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011, and 2010, the Company recorded expense of $0, $0, and $222, respectively. The warrants are accounted for as equity instruments.

The fair value of warrants have been estimated as of the vesting date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.  For the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011, and 2010 the following assumptions were used in determining the fair value:

	2012			2011			2010
Expected dividend yield		0.0	%		0.0	%		0.0	%
Risk-free interest rate		0.81	%		2.02	%		1.91	%
Expected term (years)	5.0 years			4.86 years			4.46 years
Expected volatility		89.50	%		90.71	%		88.88	%

The following table summarizes the warrant activity for the year ended December 31, 2012:

	Warrants			Weighted- Average Exercise Price		Weighted- Average Remaining Contractual Term		Aggregate Intrinsic Value
	(In thousands)			(Per share)		(In years)		(In thousands)
Outstanding at December 31, 2011		999		$	3.60		2.0	$	3,936
Granted		50			9.02
Exercised		(631	)		1.38
Forfeited/expired		(28	)		—
Outstanding at December 31, 2012		390		$	8.05		3.0	$	191
Exercisable at December 31, 2012		390		$	8.05		3.0	$	191

The weighted-average and grant-date or vest-date fair value of warrants granted during the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011, and 2010, was $6.22, $6.46, and $3.47, respectively. The total intrinsic value of warrants exercised during the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, was $4,195, $3,302, and $5,080, respectively.

As of December 31, 2012, there was $0 of total unrecognized estimated compensation cost related to nonvested warrants granted. The total fair value of warrants vested during the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011, and 2010 was $311, $377, and $1,390, respectively.

For warrants that are compensatory, the Company records share-based compensation expense related to warrants only for warrants that have vested.  The amount of the expense recognized is based on the estimated fair value of the warrants on the vesting date. During the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, the Company recorded equity-based compensation expense related to warrants of $311, $377, and $293, respectively, which is included as a component of selling, general and administrative expense.  The net tax benefit recognized on equity-based compensation expense related to warrants for the year ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 was $119, $144, and $67, respectively.  The tax benefit realized from compensatory warrants exercised for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 was $114, $0, and $0, respectively.

Restricted Stock

Restricted stock awards are granted with a fair value equal to the ending stock price on the date of grant. Prior to 2011, the Company had not granted any restricted stock.

A summary of the status of the Company’s restricted stock as of December 31, 2012, and changes during the year ended December 31, 2012, is presented below:

	Restricted Stock			Weighted- Average Grant Date Fair Value
	(In thousands)			(Per share)
Outstanding at December 31, 2011		424		$	8.55
Granted		469			9.72
Vested		(359	)		8.75
Forfeited		(82	)		9.42
Outstanding at December 31, 2012		452		$	9.51

As of December 31, 2012, there was $2,681 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested restricted stock awards granted under the stock incentive plan. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.0 years.

The Company recorded share-based compensation expense only for restricted stock that is expected to vest.  The estimated fair value of the restricted stock awards is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award, which is generally the vesting term of the award. During the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company recorded equity-based compensation expense of $4,699 and $624, respectively, which is included as a component of selling, general and administrative expense.  The net tax benefit recognized on equity-based compensation expense for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, was $1,809 and $236, respectively.  The tax benefit realized from vested restricted stock for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, was $1,169 and $0, respectively.

Included in the 2011 grants of restricted stock were 124 shares issued to an employee by the Company subject to the employee’s continued employment. These shares vest quarterly over a two year vesting term and will be expensed on a straight-line basis over the two-year vesting term. In connection with the issuance of 124 shares of restricted stock, the Company issued the employee an additional 90 shares of common stock with a fair value of $899 as consideration in full satisfaction of current and future royalties under a prior intellectual property agreement primarily related to the ZAGGmate. The portion of the consideration related to current royalties was $336 and was included as a component of cost of sales in the consolidated statement of operations in 2011. The remaining $563 portion of the consideration was capitalized as it represents a pre-payment of future royalties and will be amortized on an accelerated basis, consistent with the expected underlying cash flows of the intellectual property, over a seven year life. This capitalized amount is included as a component of intangible assets in the consolidated balance sheet.

During the third quarter of 2012, the Company incurred an incremental charge of $345 that was the direct result of the Separation Agreement between the Company and Robert G. Pedersen II, the Company’s former chief executive officer. In accordance with the terms of the Separation Agreement, Mr. Pedersen’s 127 then unvested stock options will be fully vested on August 17, 2013. However, under US GAAP, the expense associated with these options was accelerated as it was determined that the service to be performed by Mr. Pedersen was not considered to be substantive.

On March 30, 2012, the Company implemented a new incentive program for non-executive employees that provides for the issuance of a fixed amount of restricted stock to eligible employees if certain annual financial targets are reached. These targets were reached for the 2012 fiscal year, thus these restricted shares will be transferred to employees during March 2013.

During the year ended December 31, 2012, certain ZAGG employees received grants of restricted stock and elected to file an Internal Revenue Code Section 83(b) election and thereby elected to receive a net amount of shares in exchange for the Company incurring the tax liability for the grant date fair value of the award. In addition, certain ZAGG employees elected to receive a net amount of shares upon the vesting of a restricted stock grant in exchange for the Company incurring the tax liability for the fair value of the award on the vest date. This resulted in the Company recording $508 in compensation expense, with the offset being originally recorded to accrued wages and wage related expenses rather than to additional paid-in capital.

Risks and Uncertainties [Abstract]

CONCENTRATIONS

(14)  CONCENTRATIONS

Concentration of credit risk

Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and accounts receivable.  The Company places its cash with high credit quality financial institutions.  The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts, which, at times, exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts through December 31, 2012.

At December 31, 2012 and 2011, approximately 56% and 55%, respectively, of the balance of accounts receivable was due from one customer.  No other customer account balances were more that 10% of accounts receivable.  If one or more of the Company’s significant customers were to become insolvent or were otherwise unable to pay for the products provided, it would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.

Concentration of supplier

The Company purchases its raw materials related to the invisibleSHIELD product line primarily from one source.   Management is aware of similar raw materials that would be available from other sources if required and has current plans to immediately engage such resources if necessary.  A change in supplier, however, could cause a delay in manufacturing and a possible loss of sales, which could adversely affect operating results.

In addition, iFrogz purchases all inventory through one third party sourcing company.  Management is aware of other manufacturing sources that it could utilize if there was a disruption in the operations of the third party sourcing Company.  A change in the sourcing Company, however, could cause a delay in manufacturing and a possible loss of sales, which could adversely affect operating results.

Concentration of sales

For the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011, and 2010, one customer accounted for 32%, 30%, and 41%, respectively, of the Company’s sales. In addition, during 2012 and 2011, a second customer accounted for 11% and 11%, respectively, of sales.  No other customer account balances were more that 10% of sales.  If the Company loses one or more of the Company’s significant customers, it would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.

The percentage of sales by geographic region for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 was approximately:

	2012	2011	2010
United States	87%	88%	83%
Europe	6%	6%	12%
Other	7%	6%	5%

Net assets located overseas in Shannon Ireland totaled $4,737 and $290 at December 31, 2012 and 2011.

Business Description and Basis Of Presentation [Abstract]

Use of estimates

Use of estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“US GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.  Significant items subject to such estimates include the allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory reserve, sales returns liability, the useful life of property and equipment, the useful life of intangible assets, the recoverability of goodwill and intangible assets, the fair value of the investment in HzO, Inc. (“HzO”), stock-based compensation, and income taxes.  These estimates and assumptions are based on management’s best estimates and judgment. Management evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors, including the economic environment, which management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Management adjusts such estimates and assumptions when facts and circumstances dictate an adjustment is necessary.

Principles of consolidation

Principles of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of ZAGG Inc and its wholly owned subsidiaries ZAGG International Distribution Limited (“ZAGG International”), ZAGG Intellectual Property Holding Co, Inc., ZAGG Retail, Inc., iFrogz, Inc., and iFrogz Europe SAS (“iFrogz Europe”). All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

At December 31, 2010, HzO was consolidated by the Company as a variable interest entity (VIE).  On December 22, 2011, HzO entered into an Amended Series B Stock Purchase Agreement with a group of third party investors. ZAGG considered this a reconsideration event and concluded that as of December 22, 2011, HzO should no longer be considered a VIE under authoritative accounting literature, but was considered a voting interest entity. Ultimately, management concluded that HzO should no longer be consolidated into the ZAGG financials as of December 31, 2011. This transaction and the related accounting is discussed in detail at Note 5, Investment in HzO and Noncontrolling Interest. Since December 22, 2011, management has accounted for its investment in HzO as an equity method investment. HzO is a private company engaged in the development of water-blocking technologies for consumer and industrial applications.

Cash equivalents

Cash equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.  Amounts receivable from credit card processors are also considered cash equivalents because they are both short-term and highly liquid in nature and are typically converted to cash within three days of the sales transaction. Amounts receivable from credit card processors at December 31, 2012 and 2011 totaled $21 and $362, respectively. Cash equivalents as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, consisted primarily of money market fund investments and amounts receivable from credit card processors.

Fair value measurements

Fair value measurements

The Company measures at fair value certain financial and non-financial assets by using a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, essentially an exit price, based on the highest and best use of the asset or liability. The levels of the fair value hierarchy are:

Level 1 — Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2 — Significant other observable inputs (e.g., quoted prices for similar items in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar items in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable such as interest rate and yield curves, and market-corroborated inputs); and

Level 3 — Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting unit to develop its own assumptions.

Accounts receivable

Accounts receivable

The Company sells its products to end users through indirect distribution channels and other resellers who are extended credit terms after an analysis of their financial condition and credit worthiness.  Credit terms to distributors and resellers, when extended, are based on evaluation of the customers' financial condition.  Accounts receivable are recorded at invoiced amounts and do not bear interest.

The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of customers to make required payments.  Management regularly evaluates the allowance for doubtful accounts considering historical losses adjusted to take into account current market conditions, customers’ financial condition, receivables in dispute, receivables aging, and current payment patterns. Account balances are written off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote.  Payments subsequently received on written off receivables are credited to bad debt expense in the period of recovery.

The following summarizes the activity in the Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010:

	For the Year Ended December 31,
	2012			2011			2010
Balance at beginning of year	$	2,070		$	904		$	685
Additions charged to expense		2,101			1,657			219

Recoveries of amounts previously charged off		—			—			—
Balance at end of year	$	2,974		$	2,070		$	904

Inventories

Inventories

Inventories, consisting primarily of finished goods and raw materials, are valued at the lower of cost, determined on a first in, first out basis, or market.  Management performs periodic assessments to determine the existence of obsolete, slow moving, and non-saleable inventories, and records necessary write downs in cost of sales to reduce such inventories to net realizable value. Once established, the original cost of the inventory less the related inventory write down represents the new cost basis of such products.

Property and equipment

Property and equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost.  Depreciation expense is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.  Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the useful life of the asset or the term of the lease.

Major additions and improvements are capitalized, while costs for minor replacements, maintenance and repairs that do not increase the useful life of an asset are expensed as incurred.  Upon retirement or other disposition of property and equipment, the cost and related accumulated depreciation or amortization are removed from the accounts.  The resulting gain or loss is reflected in selling, general and administrative expense.

Intangibles assets

Intangibles assets

Intangible assets include internet addresses, patents, intellectual property, and acquired intangibles in connection with the acquisition of iFrogz, which include customer relationships, trademarks, non-compete agreements, and other miscellaneous intangible assets.

Definite-lived intangible assets are amortized over their estimated economic lives, using a straight-line or accelerated method consistent with the underlying expected future cash flows related to the specific intangible asset.  Amortization expense is recorded within cost of sales or operating expense depending on the underlying intangible assets.

The sole indefinite-lived intangible asset at December 31, 2012 was the iFrogz trademark.

Impairment of long-lived assets

Impairment of long-lived assets

Long-lived assets, such as property and equipment, our investment in HzO, and definite-lived intangible assets, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If circumstances require a long-lived asset or asset group be tested for possible impairment, recoverability of long-lived assets is measured by comparison of its carrying amount to the undiscounted cash flows that the asset or asset group is expected to generate over the remaining life in measuring whether the assets are recoverable.  If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds its fair value.  Fair value is determined through various valuation techniques including discounted cash flow models, quoted market values and third-party independent appraisals, as considered necessary.

Impairment of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets

Impairment of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets

Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets carried on the balance sheet at December 31, 2012 were acquired as part of the acquisition of iFrogz on June 21, 2011. The Company does not amortize goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives.

At least annually and when events and circumstances warrant an evaluation, we perform an impairment assessment of goodwill. This assessment initially permits an entity to make a qualitative assessment of whether it is more likely than not that a reporting unit’s fair value is less than its carrying amount before applying the two-step goodwill impairment test. If an entity can support the conclusion that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, it would not need to perform the two-step impairment test for the reporting unit.

However, if it is determined that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, the two step analysis is performed, which incorporates a fair-value based approach. We determine the fair value of our reporting units based on discounted cash flows and market approach analyses as considered necessary, and consider factors such as a weakened economy, reduced expectations for future cash flows coupled with a decline in the market price of our stock and market capitalization for a sustained period as indicators for potential goodwill impairment. If the reporting unit’s carrying amount exceeds its estimated fair value, a second step must be performed to measure the amount of the goodwill impairment loss, if any. The second step compares the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill, determined in the same manner as the amount of goodwill recognized in a business combination, with the carrying amount of such goodwill. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of that goodwill, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess. During the fourth quarter of 2012, management recorded a goodwill impairment of $5,440. No impairments were recorded in 2011 or 2010.

Indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested for impairment annually, or, more frequently upon the occurrence of a triggering event. Initially, a qualitative analysis is performed to determine whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative impairment test for indefinite-lived intangible assets. A quantitative assessment is only performed if it is determined in the qualitative analysis that it is more likely than not that the asset is impaired.

If it is determined in the qualitative analysis that it is more likely than not that the asset is impaired, the Company evaluates the recoverability of an indefinite-lived intangible asset by comparing the indefinite-lived intangible asset’s book value to its estimated fair value. The fair value for indefinite-lived intangible assets is determined by performing cash flow analysis and other market evaluations. If the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible assets is less than book value, the difference is recognized as an impairment loss. During the fourth quarter of 2012, the Company made an important brand strategy adjustment to place greater emphasis on the promotion of our core brands, ZAGG and iFrogz. As a result of this decision, the Company determined that future cash flows under the EarPollution trademark would be less than previously estimated and that the trademark should be considered a definite-lived intangible asset. Management performed an impairment analysis and recorded an impairment of $5,917 related to the EarPollution trademark. As the trademark is now considered a definite-lived intangible, the Company will commence amortizing the trademark on an accelerated basis over an eight-year life consistent with our projected future cash flows from the trademark.  No impairments were recorded in 2011 or 2010.

The Company performs its goodwill and intangible asset impairment tests in the fourth quarter of each fiscal year. The Company established reporting units based on its current reporting structure. For purposes of testing goodwill for impairment, goodwill is assigned to a reporting unit.  All goodwill was assigned to the iFrogz reporting unit.

Contingencies

Contingencies

Liabilities for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines, and penalties and other sources are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated.  Legal costs incurred in connection with loss contingencies are expensed as incurred.

Revenue recognition

Revenue recognition

We record revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, product delivery has occurred, the sales price to the customer is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured.  Our revenue is derived from sales of our products through our indirect channel, including retailers and distributors; through our direct channel including www.ZAGG.com, www.iFrogz.com, and our corporate-owned and third-party-owned mall kiosks; and from the fees derived from the sale of exclusive independent distributor licenses related to the kiosk program.  For sales of product, our standard shipping terms are FOB shipping point, and we record revenue when the product is shipped, net of estimated returns and discounts.  For some customers, the contractual shipping terms are FOB destination.  For these shipments, we record revenue when the product is delivered, net of estimated returns and discounts.  For license fees, we recognize revenue on a straight-line basis over the life of the license term. We record revenue from royalty agreements in the period in which the royalty is earned.

Promotional products given to customers or potential customers are recognized as a cost of sales. Cash incentives provided to our customers are recognized as a reduction of the related sale price and, therefore, are a reduction in sales.

Reserve for sales returns and warranty liability

Reserve for sales returns and warranty liability

For product sales, the Company records revenue, net of estimated returns and discounts, when products are shipped and the customer takes ownership and assumes risk of loss, collection of the relevant receivable is probable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists and the sales price is fixed or determinable. Our return policy generally allows its end users and retailers to return purchased products.  In addition, the Company generally provides the ultimate consumer a warranty with each product.  Due to the nature of the invisibleSHIELD product line, returns for the invisibleSHIELD are generally not salvageable and are not included in inventory.  We estimate a reserve for sales returns and warranty and record the estimated reserve amount as a reduction of sales, and as a sales return reserve liability.  When product is returned and is expected to be resold, as is the case with returns of iFrogz products, the reserve is recorded as a reduction of revenues and cost of sales, and as a sales return reserve liability. The estimate for sales returns and warranty requires management to make significant estimates regarding return rates for sales and warranty returns.  Historical experience, actual claims, and customer return rights are the key factors used in determining the estimated sales return and warranty reserve.

The following summarizes the activity in the Company’s sales return and warranty liability for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010:

	For the Year Ended December 31,
	2012			2011			2010
Balance at beginning of year	$	5,387		$	2,068		$	550
iFrogz sales reserve at acquisition		—			524			—
Additions charged to sales		12,954			12,906			7,048
Sales returns & warranty claims charged against reserve		(11,644	)		(10,111	)		(5,530	)
Balance at end of year	$	6,697		$	5,387		$	2,068

Income taxes

Income taxes

The Company recognizes deferred income tax assets or liabilities for expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the financial statements or tax returns.  Under this method, deferred income tax assets or liabilities are determined based upon the difference between the financial statement and income tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates expected to apply when differences are expected to be settled or realized.  Deferred income tax assets are reviewed for recoverability and valuation allowances are provided when it is more likely than not that a deferred tax asset will not be realizable in the future.  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 recognizes the effect of income tax positions only if those positions are more likely than not of being sustained. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in judgment occurs. The Company records estimated interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits, if any, as a component of income tax provision.

The Company has foreign subsidiaries formed or acquired to conduct or support its business outside the United States. The Company does not provide for U.S. income taxes on undistributed earnings for its foreign subsidiaries as the foreign earnings will be permanently reinvested in such foreign jurisdictions.

Stock-based compensation

Stock-based compensation

The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense in its consolidated financial statements for awards granted to employees and non-employees, which include restricted stock, stock options, and warrants.  Equity-classified awards are measured at the grant date fair value of the award. The fair value of restricted stock is measured on the grant date based on the quoted closing market price of the Company’s common stock.  The fair value of the stock options is measured on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model based on the underlying common stock closing price as of the date of grant, the expected term, stock price volatility, and risk-free interest rates.  The Company recognizes compensation expense net of estimated forfeitures on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award, which is generally the vesting term of the award.  No compensation cost is ultimately recognized for awards for which employees do not render the requisite service and are forfeited.  Excess tax benefits of awards that are recognized in equity related to stock option exercises are reflected as financing cash inflows.

Advertising and marketing

Advertising and marketing

General advertising is expensed as incurred. Advertising allowances provided to retailers are recorded as an expense at the time of the related sale if the Company receives an identifiable benefit in exchange for the consideration and has evidence of fair value for the advertising; otherwise, the allowance is recorded as a reduction of revenue. Advertising expenses for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 were $12,495, $10,246 and $5,067, respectively.

Foreign currency translation and transactions

Foreign currency translation and transactions

The Company’s primary operations are at the parent level which uses the U.S. dollar (USD) as its functional currency.   The Euro is the functional currency of the Company’s ZAGG International and iFrogz Europe subsidiaries.  Accordingly, assets and liabilities for these subsidiaries are translated into USD using exchange rates in effect at the end of each period. Revenue and expenses for these subsidiaries are translated using rates that approximate those in effect during the period. Gains and losses from these translations are recorded as a component of stockholders’ equity.  Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in income as a component of other income and (expense) in the consolidated statements of operations and totaled ($17), $60 and ($16) for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Earnings per share

Earnings per share

Basic earnings per common share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net income attributable to stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.  Diluted earnings per common share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if stock options or other common stock equivalents were exercised or converted into common stock. The dilutive effect of stock options or other common stock equivalents is calculated using the treasury stock method.

The following is a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used to calculate basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010:

	2012		2011		2010
Net income attributable to stockholders	$	14,505	$	18,248	$	9,963
Weighted average shares outstanding		30,339		27,133		22.518
Dilutive effect of stock options, restricted stock, and warrants		1,317		1,949		1,744
Diluted shares		31,656		29,082		24,262
Earnings per share attributable to stockholders:
Basic	$	0.48	$	0.67	$	0.44
Dilutive	$	0.46	$	0.63	$	0.41

For the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011, and 2010, restricted stock, warrants and stock options to purchase 169, 103, and 1,157 shares of common stock, respectively, were not considered in calculating diluted earnings per share because the warrant or stock option exercise prices or the total expected proceeds under the treasury stock method for the warrants, restricted stock, or stock options was greater than the average market price of common shares during the period and, therefore, the effect would be anti-dilutive.

Recent accounting pronouncements

Recent accounting pronouncements

In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-11, Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. ASU 2011-11 requires an entity to disclose information about offsetting and related arrangements to enable users of financial statements to understand the effect of those arrangements on its financial position, and to allow investors to better compare financial statements prepared under U.S. GAAP with financial statements prepared under International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). The new standards are effective for annual periods beginning January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. Retrospective application is required. The Company will implement the provisions of ASU 2011-11 as of January 1, 2013, and is still evaluating the impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Commercial Litigation

Ricks v. Scott Huskinson et al., Third Judicial District Court, Salt Lake County, State of Utah, Civil No. 120907697. On November 15, 2012, Craig Ricks (“Ricks”) filed a lawsuit in Utah state court against the Company, its wholly owned subsidiary iFrogz, Inc., formerly known as Reminderband, Inc. (“iFrogz”), Scott Huskinson (“Huskinson”), Clay Broadbent (“Broadbent”), and Reminderband, Inc., formerly known as Two Ten Squared, Inc. (“Reminderband”). In this lawsuit, Ricks alleges that Huskinson and Broadbent maliciously denied him an equitable ownership interest in iFrogz. The complaint asserts claims for conversion, constructive trust, civil conspiracy, fraud and fraudulent inducement, breach of contract and breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing. On December 31, 2012, the Company and iFrogz filed an answer denying liability. The other defendants have done the same. The Company believes plaintiff’s claims to be without merit and intends to vigorously defend against them. The Company is indemnified by Huskinson and Broadbent for any losses that may occur related to this case, including legal fees.

Lorence A. Harmer, et al v ZAGG Inc et al, Third Judicial District Court, Salt Lake County, State of Utah, Civil No. 110917687. On September 20, 2011, Lorence A. Harmer, a former director of ZAGG and two of his affiliates, Harmer Holdings, LLC, and Teleportal, LLC, filed a lawsuit in Utah state court against the Company, Robert G. Pedersen, II, Brandon T. O’Brien and KPMG LLP. KPMG has subsequently been dismissed from the lawsuit. This case is discussed in greater detail in Note 11, Note Receivable. In their lawsuit, the plaintiffs allege that the defendants defamed Mr. Harmer, breached a Settlement Agreement and other agreements between the plaintiffs and the Company, and interfered with other rights of the plaintiffs. The Company has responded to the plaintiffs’ claims, denying all of the material allegations made by the plaintiffs, and asserting affirmative defenses. On October 29, 2012, the Company filed a Counterclaim and Third-Party Complaint against Harmer, Holdings, Teleportall and third-party Global Industrial Services Limited asserting claims for breach of contract, deficiency, indemnity and attorneys’ fees, breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, quasi contract, unjust enrichment, quantum meruit and declaratory judgment. The Company believes the plaintiffs’ claims to be without merit and intends to continue to vigorously defend against them. The plaintiffs have not yet made a specific damages claim.

ZAGG Inc v. Nicholas Pardini, Third Judicial District Court, Salt Lake County, State of Utah, Civil No. 120903147. On May 9, 2012, ZAGG filed a lawsuit in Utah State Court against Nicholas Pardini, an internet author and purported manager of a small hedge fund. The complaint alleged causes of action for defamation and false light, based on Mr. Pardini’s actions of authoring and causing to be published a false and defamatory article on a website with the domain name seekingalpha.com. ZAGG and the defendant engaged in settlement negotiations, and agreed to a dismissal of all claims in exchange for information about the defendant’s preparation of the article and its removal from the website. The case has been dismissed with prejudice.

ZAGG Inc v. Anthony H. Catanach Jr. and J. Edward Ketz, United States District Court, Eastern District of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia Division, Case No. 2:12-cv-04399-HB. On May 9, 2012, ZAGG filed a lawsuit in Utah State Court against Anthony H. Catanach Jr. and J. Edward Ketz, professors at universities in Pennsylvania who write for and administer a financial blog. The complaint alleged causes of action for defamation and false light, based on the defendants’ co-authoring and publication of an article that contains false and defamatory statements. The defendants removed the case to federal court in Utah and the Company then stipulated to a transfer of venue to the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. The defendants moved to dismiss the Company’s claims, but this motion was denied. ZAGG and the defendants engaged in settlement negotiations, and agreed to a dismissal of all claims in exchange for information about the defendants’ preparation of the article and its removal from the blog. The case has been dismissed with prejudice.

ZAGG Inc v. Joseph Ramelli, Third Judicial District Court, Salt Lake County, State of Utah, Civil No. 120903188. On May 10, 2012, ZAGG filed a lawsuit in Utah State Court against Joseph Ramelli. The complaint alleges causes of action for defamation and false light, based on Ramelli’s authoring and causing to be published at least 15 articles relating to ZAGG that contain false and defamatory statements. Ramelli, who appeared in the lawsuit pro se, moved to dismiss for lack of personal jurisdiction. The Company opposed the motion, and the court denied the motion to dismiss. Fact discovery has commenced. The Company intends to pursue its case vigorously against Mr. Ramelli.

Patent Litigation

ZAGG Intellectual Property Holding Co. Inc. v. NLU Products et al, U.S. District Court, District of Utah, 2:11-cv-00517. The Company is the plaintiff in patent infringement litigation pending in Utah that seeks to enforce rights under United States Patent No. 7,957,524. The defendants in this case have raised defenses and, in some cases, asserted counterclaims against the Company, that seek declarations of unenforceability or non-infringement of the patent. These counterclaims do not assert any claims for affirmative relief, including claims for damages, against the Company, apart from a request for an award of costs and attorney’s fees to the prevailing party. Several of the defendants have settled with the Company. Litigation of this action has been stayed pending a reexamination of United States Patent No. 7,957,524 by the United States Patent and Trademark Office. This reexamination has led to the rejection of the claims of the patent, but this decision is currently on appeal. In the opinion of management, the ultimate disposition of these patent infringement claims, including disposition of the counterclaims, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, or liquidity.

ZAGG v. Trekstor, Regional Court, Dusseldorf, Germany. The Company brought suit in Dusseldorf, Germany against Trekstor for infringement of ZAGG design registrations for ZAGGmate and the Logitech Keyboard Case by ZAGG. The Company also brought claims for unfair competition. As of the date of this Report, all briefing had been completed and a hearing was held. The Court has not yet ruled on the claims of infringement and has indicated that it may not issue its decision until after TrekStor’s challenges to the registrations have been considered. TrekStor has challenged the Company’s ownership of the design registrations and has filed an application for a declaration of invalidity of the Company’s design registrations, but this application has been denied and is not pending on appeal. The Company believes these allegations of invalidity and ownership to be without merit and intends to vigorously defend against them.

Patent Acquisition

On August 31, 2010, Andrew Mason (“Mason”) filed a complaint against the Company claiming infringement of United States Patent Nos. 7,389,869 and 7,784,610 as a result of the Company’s invisibleSHIELD installation kits. On November 9, 2010, the Company, Mason and his company, eShields LLC (“eShields”) entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (“Purchase Agreement”) under which a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, ZAGG Intellectual Property Holding Company, Inc. (“ZAGG IP”), acquired all of the rights of Mason in (i) the patents (United States Patent Nos. 7,389,869 and 7,784,610) which were the subject of the litigation, (ii) the patent application filed on August 13, 2010 (the “CIP Application”) and (iii) rights to sue for infringement of the patents.

In consideration for the conveyance of Mason’s assets described above, the Company agreed to pay or convey to Mason the following:

(a)	a first payment of $200 by November 11, 2010, and a second payment of $150 after December 31, 2010;
(b)	issue to Mason five-year warrants (the “Warrant”) to purchase 750 shares of the Company’s restricted Common Stock at an exercise price equal to the closing bid price on November 9, 2010 ($8.53); provided that 500 of the 750 warrant shares are exercisable only upon the issuance of a patent from the CIP Application with at least one claim that satisfies the Claim Conditions (as defined below);
(c)	issue to Mason 70 shares of the Company’s restricted Common Stock; and
(d)	grant eShields a fully paid-up, perpetual, non-exclusive license, with limited rights to transfer or sublicense, for the patents and CIP Applications.

The Company also agreed to dismiss the claims asserted against Mason and eShields, and to make additional payments to Mason if the US Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”) issues a U.S. patent on the CIP Application that includes certain claims, the “Claim Conditions”). If the Claim Conditions are met, the Company will:

(a)	pay Mason the sum of $500; and
(b)	issue to Mason 430 shares of the Company’s restricted Common Stock.

If the Claim Conditions are not met, the Company has no obligation to make the payment or issue the shares described in the preceding paragraph and Mason will not be able to exercise 500 of the Warrants. There can be no assurance that the USPTO will issue a patent on the CIP Application that meets the requirements of the Claim Conditions. As of December 31, 2012, no applicable patent had been issued by the USPTO.

Class Action Lawsuits

James H. Apple, et al. v. ZAGG Inc, et al., U.S. District Court, District of Utah, 2:12-cv-00852; Ryan Draayer, et al. v. Zagg Inc, et al., U.S. District Court, District of Utah, 2:12-cv-00859. On September 6 and 10, 2012, two putative class action lawsuits were filed by purported Company shareholders against the Company, Randall Hales, Brandon O’Brien, Edward Ekstrom, and Cheryl Larabee, as well as Robert G. Pedersen II, our former Chairman and CEO, and Shuichiro Ueyama, a former member of our Board of Directors. In each case, the plaintiffs seek certification of a class of purchasers of our stock between February 28, 2012 and August 17, 2012. The plaintiffs claim that as a result of Mr. Pedersen's alleged December 2011 margin account sales, the defendants initiated a succession plan to replace Mr. Pedersen as our CEO with Mr. Hales, but failed to disclose either the succession plan or Mr. Pedersen's margin account sales, in violation of Sections 10(b), 14(a), and 20(a), and SEC Rules 10b-5 and 14a-9, under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). On March 7, 2013, the U.S. District Court for the District of Utah consolidated the Apple and Draayer actions and assigned the caption In re Zagg, Inc. Securities Litigation. The Company has not yet responded to the complaints. The Company intends to vigorously defend against them.

Arthur Morganstern v. Robert G. Pedersen II et al., Third Judicial District Court, Salt Lake County, State of Utah, Civil No. 120908452; Albert Pikk v. Robert G. Pedersen II et al., U.S. District Court, District of Utah, Case No. 2:12-cv-1188; Rosenberg v. Robert G. Pedersen II et al., U.S. District Court, District of Utah, Case No. 2:12-cv-1216. On December 14, 2012, the first of three shareholder derivative complaints were filed against several of our current and former officers and directors. These complaints make allegations similar to those presented in the putative class action lawsuits, but they also assert various state law causes of action, including claims for breach of fiduciary duty, waste of corporate assets, unjust enrichment, and insider trading. Each of these derivative complaints seek unspecified damages on behalf of the Company, which is named solely as a nominal defendant against whom no recovery is sought. On February 27, 2013, the U.S. District Court for the District of Utah consolidated the Pikk and Rosenberg actions and assigned the caption In re ZAGG Inc. Shareholder Derivative Litigation. The Company has not yet responded to these complaints.

In the fourth quarter of 2012, the Company received requests to provide documentation and information to the staff of the SEC in connection with a non-public investigation being conducted by the SEC’s Salt Lake City office. The Company believes the investigation includes a review of the facts and circumstances surrounding some of the same issues raised by the plaintiffs in the above lawsuits; specifically, whether the Company failed to disclose Mr. Pedersen's margin account sales or the alleged existence of a plan to have Mr. Hales succeed Mr. Pedersen as our CEO. The Company responded to these requests and is cooperating fully with the staff. We have chosen to disclose this non-public investigation due to the highly public nature of the lawsuits described above, which the Company intends to defend vigorously.

The Company is not a party to any other litigation or other claims at this time. While the Company currently believes that the amount of any ultimate potential loss for known matters would not be material to the Company’s financial condition, the outcome of these actions is inherently difficult to predict. In the event of an adverse outcome, the ultimate potential loss could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations in a particular period.

We establish liabilities when a particular contingency is probable and estimable. We have not accrued for any loss at December 31, 2012 in our consolidated financial statements as we do not consider a loss to be probable nor estimable.
