NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

(in thousands, except per share amounts)

NOTE 1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Black Diamond, Inc. and subsidiaries (“Black Diamond” or the “Company,” which may be referred to as “we,” “us,” or “our”) as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and instructions to Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been included. The results of the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be obtained for the year ending December 31, 2013. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission” or “SEC”).

Nature of Business

Black Diamond is a global leader in designing, manufacturing and marketing innovative active outdoor performance products for climbing, mountaineering, backpacking, skiing, cycling and a wide range of other year-round outdoor recreation activities. Our principal brands include Black Diamond®, Gregory™, POC™ and PIEPS™ and are targeted not only to the demanding requirements of core climbers, skiers and cyclists, but also to the more general outdoor performance enthusiasts and consumers interested in outdoor-inspired gear for their urban activities. Our Black Diamond®, Gregory™, POC™ and PIEPS™ brands are iconic in the active outdoor industry and linked intrinsically with the modern history of the sports we serve. We believe our brands are synonymous with the performance, innovation, durability and safety that the outdoor and action sports communities rely on and embrace in their active lifestyle.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Certain costs are estimated for the full year and allocated to interim periods based on estimates of time expired, benefit received, or activity associated with the interim period. Some of the more significant estimates relate to derivatives, revenue recognition, income taxes, and valuation of long-lived assets, goodwill, and other intangible assets.

Significant Accounting Policies

There have been no significant changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies as described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-02, Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. ASU 2013-02 establishes new requirements for disclosing reclassifications of items out of accumulated other comprehensive income and includes identification of the line items in net earnings affected by the reclassifications. This standard is effective for annual and interim periods for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2012 (for us this was our 2013 first quarter). The Company adopted the provisions of this update during the three months ended March 31, 2013, which provides additional detail on those financial statements as applicable, but did not have any other impact on our financial statements.

NOTE 5. GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

There was a decrease in goodwill during the six months ended June 30, 2013 from $57,481 to $56,907 due to the impact of foreign currency exchange rates. The following table summarizes the changes in goodwill:

Revolving credit facilities (a)	$	8,426		$	20,000

		36,775			40,488
Less current portion		(2,804	)		(4,059	)
	$	33,971		$	36,429

(a) As of June 30, 2013, the Company had drawn down $8,426 on a $30,000 revolving credit facility with Zions First National Bank (the “Lender”). On March 8, 2013, the Company entered into a new amended and restated loan agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) to refinance the line of credit with a new maturity date of March 8, 2016. Under the Loan Agreement, the Company has a $30,000 Revolving Line of Credit for funding general corporate needs. The Loan Agreement also provides for an Acquisition Facility which allows the Company to borrow up to $10,000 to fund permitted acquisitions. Advances less than $1,000 will not be permitted and only interest will be payable monthly for 12 months following each advance. Subsequent to 12 months of each advance, monthly payments of interest and principal will be made based on a five year amortization. Advances under the Acquisition Facility are available through March 8, 2016, with all principal and interest due six years from the date of each advance, but no later than March 8, 2021.

The long-term debt agreements contain certain restrictive debt covenants that require the Company and its subsidiaries to maintain a minimum trailing 12-month earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, a positive amount of asset coverage, a minimum net worth, and a fixed charge coverage ratio. At June 30, 2013, the Company was in compliance with all associated covenants.

(b) The Company’s foreign subsidiaries have revolving credit facilities with various financial institutions. The Company had $764 and $1,488 in letters of credit as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

(in thousands, except per share amounts)

(c) The Loan Agreement also provides for a Term Facility pursuant to which the Lender has made available $15,000 for funding permanent working capital, of which $10,000 was used upon the close of the Loan Agreement to reduce amounts owed on the already existing revolving credit facility. The remaining $5,000 is available to fund existing term debt of foreign subsidiaries or to reduce the Revolving Line of Credit Facility. The Term Facility is due and payable in monthly payments of principal and interest based on a 10-year amortization from March 8, 2013 and is adjusted monthly based on new advances. Advances under the Term Facility are available through March 8, 2016, with the all principal and interest due March 8, 2023. Other various term loans are payable to financial institutions and a government entity with interest rates ranging from 2.00% to 5.50% and monthly installments ranging from $0 to $3. The notes mature between October 2013 and January 2016 and are secured by equipment.

NOTE 7. OTHER LONG-TERM LIABILITIES

Other long-term liabilities were $1,961 and $2,000 as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, with $1,432 and $1,479 of the balance as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, relating to a pension liability of the benefit plan for the Company’s Swiss employees that, under U.S. GAAP, is considered to be a defined benefit plan. The Company also has an insurance policy whereby any underfunded amounts related to the pension liability are recoverable from the insurance company. The Company has recorded a receivable of $1,432 and $1,479 as other long-term assets for the underfunded amount as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

NOTE 8. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company’s primary exchange rate risk management objective is to mitigate the uncertainty of anticipated cash flows attributable to changes in exchange rates. The Company primarily focuses on mitigating changes in cash flows resulting from sales denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. The Company manages this risk primarily by using currency forward and option contracts. If the anticipated transactions are deemed probable, the resulting relationships are formally designated as cash flow hedges.

At June 30, 2013, the Company’s derivative contracts had a remaining maturity of less than two years. The counterparty to these transactions had both long-term and short-term investment grade credit ratings. The maximum net exposure to the counterparty is generally limited to the aggregate unrealized loss of all contracts with that counterparty. At June 30, 2013 there was no such exposure to the counterparty. The Company’s exposure is limited to the aggregate unrealized gain of $1,044 on all contracts at June 30, 2013. However, the Company’s derivative counterparty has strong credit ratings and as a result, the Company does not require collateral to facilitate transactions.

The Company held the following contracts designated as hedged instruments as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012:

The Company accounts for these contracts as cash flow hedges and tests effectiveness by determining whether changes in the cash flow of the derivative offset, within a range, changes in the cash flow of the hedged item. For contracts that qualify as effective hedge instruments, the effective portion of gains and losses resulting from changes in fair value of the instruments are included in accumulated other comprehensive income and reclassified to sales in the period the underlying hedge item is recognized in earnings. $324 and $120 were reclassified to sales during the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $495 and $121 were reclassified to sales during the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

As of December 31, 2012, the Company reported an accumulated derivative instrument loss of $169. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company reported an adjustment to accumulated other comprehensive income of $690, as a result of the change in fair value of these contracts and reclassifications to sales, resulting in an accumulated derivative instrument gain of $521 reported as of June 30, 2013.

The following table presents the balance sheet classification and fair value of derivative instruments as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012:

NOTE 10. FAIR VALUE OF MEASUREMENTS

We measure certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value is defined as an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants, under a three-tier fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

Level 1-  inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted market prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 2-  inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices in markets that are not active or model inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

Level 3-  inputs to the valuation methodology are based on prices or valuation techniques that are unobservable.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 were as follows:

NOTE 11. EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing earnings by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing earnings by the total of the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period, plus the effect of outstanding stock options and unvested restricted stock grants. Potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share if their effect is anti-dilutive.

The following table is a reconciliation of basic and diluted shares of common stock outstanding used in the calculation of earnings per share:

	Three Months Ended						Six Months Ended
	June 30, 2013			June 30, 2012			June 30, 2013			June 30, 2012
Weighted average shares outstanding - basic		31,836			30,814			31,800			28,246
Effect of dilutive stock awards		-			-			-			335
Weighted average shares outstanding - diluted		31,836			30,814			31,800			28,581
Earnings per share:
Basic	$	(0.07	)	$	(0.06	)	$	(0.17	)	$	0.02
Diluted		(0.07	)		(0.06	)		(0.17	)		0.02

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, basic net loss per share was the same as diluted net loss per share because all potentially dilutive securities were anti-dilutive due to the net loss for the period. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, options to purchase 1,659 and 1,620 shares of common stock, respectively, were outstanding and anti-dilutive due to the net loss for the period. Additionally, options to purchase 894 and 1,027 shares of common stock were outstanding and anti-dilutive because the exercise prices were higher than the average market price of the Company’s common stock for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, and 750 shares of unvested restricted stock were outstanding and excluded as their required performance or market conditions were not met.

For the three months ended June 30, 2012, basic net loss per share was the same as diluted net loss per share because all potentially dilutive securities were anti-dilutive due to the net loss for the period. Options to purchase 2,162 shares of common stock were outstanding and anti-dilutive due to the net loss for the period. Additionally, options to purchase 410 and 420 shares of common stock were outstanding and anti-dilutive because the exercise prices were higher than the average market price of the Company’s common stock for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively, and 750 shares of unvested restricted stock as their required performance or market conditions were not met.

NOTE 12. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION PLAN

Under the Company’s 2005 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2005 Plan”), the Board of Directors has flexibility to determine the type and amount of awards to be granted to eligible participants, who must be employees, directors, officers or consultants of the Company or its subsidiaries. The 2005 Plan allows for grants of incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, restricted stock awards, stock appreciation rights, and restricted units. The aggregate number of shares of common stock that may be granted through awards under the 2005 Plan to any employee in any calendar year may not exceed 500 shares. The 2005 Plan will continue in effect until June 2015 unless terminated sooner.

During the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company issued 73 stock options under the Company’s 2005 Plan to employees of the Company. Of the 73 options issued, 40 will vest in four equal consecutive quarterly tranches from the date of grant. The remaining 33 options granted will vest in three installments as follows: 13 shall vest on December 31, 2015 and the remaining shares shall vest equally on December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2017.

For computing the fair value of the stock-based awards, the fair value of each option grant has been estimated as of the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions:

Options Granted During the Six Months Ended June 30, 2013
Number of options	73
Option vesting period	1-5 Years
Grant price	$8.02 - $8.75
Dividend yield	0.00%
Expected volatility (a)	54.1% - 55.2%
Risk-free interest rate	1.12% - 1.40%
Expected life (years) (b)	5.31 - 6.95
Weighted average fair value	$4.23 - $4.51

(a) Since the Company’s historical volatility was not representative of the ongoing future business, the Company’s historical volatility was based on a combination of the Company’s volatility and the historical volatility of a peer group of companies within similar industries and similar size as the Company.

(b) Because the Company does not have sufficient historical exercise data to provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate the expected term for these grants, the Company utilized the simplified method in developing an estimate of the expected term of these options.

Using these assumptions, the fair value of the stock options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2013 was $315, which will be recognized over the vesting period of the options.

During the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company awarded 3 shares of common stock to an employee. At the date the awards were issued the common stock was valued at $7.85 per share.

The total non-cash stock compensation expense related to restricted stock, stock options, and stock awards recorded by the Company during the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, was as follows:

	Three Months Ended
	June 30, 2013		June 30, 2012
Restricted stock	$	-	$	206
Stock options		272		178
Total	$	272	$	384

	Six Months Ended
	June 30, 2013		June 30, 2012
Restricted stock	$	-	$	409
Stock options		617		379
Stock awards		25		-
Total	$	642	$	788

The fair value of unvested restricted stock awards is determined based on the market price of our shares of common stock on the grant date. As of June 30, 2013, there were 1,151 unvested stock options and unrecognized compensation cost of $3,171 related to unvested stock options, as well as 750 unvested restricted stock awards for which the compensation cost has been fully recognized.

NOTE 13. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company is involved in various legal disputes and other legal proceedings that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of business. Based on currently available information, the Company does not believe that it is reasonably possible that the disposition of any of the legal disputes the Company or its subsidiaries is currently involved in will have a material adverse effect upon the Company’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. It is possible that, as additional information becomes available, the impact on the Company could have a different effect.

The Company leases office, warehouse and distribution space under non-cancelable operating leases. As leases expire, it can be expected that, in the normal course of business, certain leases will be renewed or replaced. Certain lease agreements include escalating rents over the lease terms. The Company expenses rent on a straight-line basis over the lease term which commences on the date the Company has the right to control the property. The cumulative expense recognized on a straight-line basis in excess of the cumulative payments is included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities and other long-term liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Total rent expense of the Company for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 was $557 and $413, respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 was $1,136 and $827, respectively.

NOTE 14. INCOME TAXES

The Company’s foreign operations that are considered to be permanently reinvested have statutory tax rates of approximately 19% - 39%.

As of December 31, 2012, the Company’s gross deferred tax asset was $91,976. The Company has recorded a valuation allowance, resulting in a net deferred tax asset of $74,366, excluding deferred tax liabilities. Management has provided a valuation allowance against some of the net deferred income tax assets as of December 31, 2012, because the ultimate realization of those benefits and assets does not meet the more likely than not criteria.

As of December 31, 2012, the Company had net operating loss, research and experimentation credit and alternative minimum tax credit carryforwards for U.S. federal income tax purposes of $214,195 ($1,853, relates to tax windfall, which will not be realized until an income tax payable exists), $1,640 and $291, respectively. The Company believes its U.S. Federal net operating loss (“NOL”) will substantially offset its future U.S. Federal income taxes, excluding the amount subject to U.S. Federal Alternative Minimum Tax (“AMT”). AMT is calculated as 20% of AMT income. For purposes of AMT, a maximum of 90% of income is offset by available NOLs.

Critical Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates

Management’s discussion of financial condition and results of operations is based on the consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements. Estimates also affect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. We continually evaluate our estimates and assumptions including those related to derivatives, revenue recognition, income taxes, and valuation of long-lived assets, goodwill, and other intangible assets. We base our estimates on historical experience and other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Sales

Consolidated sales increased $6,940, or 21.7%, to $38,855 during the three months ended June 30, 2013 compared to consolidated sales of $31,915 during the three months ended June 30, 2012. The increase in sales was primarily attributable to the inclusion of POC, an increase in the quantity and average sales price of new and existing mountain products sold during the period, as well as the expected increase in Gregory’s sales in Japan as a result of the transition of the Japanese distribution of Gregory’s products from Kabushiki Kaisha A&F (“A&F”), the prior distributor of Gregory’s products in Japan, to Gregory. We also experienced a decrease in sales of $140 due to the weakening of foreign currencies against the U.S. dollar during the three months ended June 30, 2013.

BLACK DIAMOND, INC.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

(in thousands, except per share amounts)

Consolidated domestic sales decreased $141, or 0.9%, to $15,485 during the three months ended June 30, 2013 compared to consolidated domestic sales of $15,626 during the three months ended June 30, 2012. The decrease in domestic sales was primarily attributable to reduced spring/summer orders resulting from a cool wet spring as well as evolving industry purchasing trends, partially offset by an increase in sales due to the inclusion of POC.

Consolidated international sales increased $7,081, or 43.5%, to $23,370 during the three months ended June 30, 2013 compared to consolidated international sales of $16,289 during the three months ended June 30, 2012. The increase in international sales was primarily attributable to an increase in the quantity and average sales price of new and existing mountain products sold during the period, the inclusion of POC, as well as the expected increase in Gregory’s sales in Japan as a result of the transition of the Japanese distribution of Gregory’s products from A&F. We also experienced a decrease in sales of $140 due to the weakening of foreign currencies against the U.S. dollar during the three months ended June 30, 2013.

Cost of Goods Sold

Consolidated cost of goods sold increased $3,752, or 19.3%, to $23,201 during the three months ended June 30, 2013 compared to consolidated cost of goods sold of $19,449 during the three months ended June 30, 2012. The increase in cost of goods sold was primarily attributable to an increase in sales both organically and from the inclusion of POC.

Gross Profit

Consolidated gross profit increased $3,188, or 25.6%, to $15,654 during the three months ended June 30, 2013 compared to consolidated gross profit of $12,466 during the three months ended June 30, 2012. Consolidated gross margin was 40.3% during the three months ended June 30, 2013 compared to a consolidated gross margin of 39.1% during the three months ended June 30, 2012. Consolidated gross margin during the three months ended June 30, 2013 increased compared to the prior year due to a favorable mix in higher margin product as a result of the inclusion of POC as well as channel distribution, which was expected due to the transition of the Japanese distribution of Gregory’s products from A&F. This was partially offset by a higher level of close-out and promotional activity. The strengthening of the U.S. dollar compared to the Japanese yen also had a negative impact on both sales and gross margin during the three months ended June 30, 2013.

Selling, General and Administrative

Consolidated selling, general, and administrative expenses increased $4,734, or 35.5%, to $18,053 during the three months ended June 30, 2013 compared to consolidated selling, general, and administrative expenses of $13,319 during the three months ended June 30, 2012. The increase in selling, general, and administrative expenses was primarily attributable to the inclusion of POC, PIEPS, Black Diamond Japan GK, and the Company’s investments in its strategic initiatives, such as apparel, and infrastructure to support both current and anticipated future growth.

Merger and Integration Costs

Consolidated merger and integration expense increased to $83 during the three months ended June 30, 2013 compared to consolidated merger and integration expense of $0 during the same period in 2012, which consisted of expenses related to the integration of POC and PIEPS. We expect to incur additional merger and integration expenses throughout the year related to our ongoing integration of POC and PIEPS.

Transaction Costs

Consolidated transaction expense decreased 100% to $0 during the three months ended June 30, 2013 compared to consolidated transaction expense of $1,138 during the three months ended June 30, 2012, which consisted primarily of professional fees and expenses related to due diligence and the negotiation and documentation of acquisition related agreements in connection with the Company’s acquisition of POC on July 2, 2012.

Interest Expense, net

Consolidated interest expense increased $252, or 43.3%, to $834 during the three months ended June 30, 2013 compared to consolidated interest expense of $582 during the three months ended June 30, 2012. The increase in interest expense was primarily attributable to higher average outstanding debt amounts during the three months ended June 30, 2013 compared to the same period in 2012.

Other, net

Consolidated other, net, increased to income of $303 during the three months ended June 30, 2013 compared to a consolidated other, net expense of $195 during the three months ended June 30, 2012. The increase in other, net, was primarily attributable to the remeasurement gains recognized on the Company’s foreign denominated accounts receivable and accounts payable partially off-set by losses on mark-to-market adjustments on non-hedged foreign currency contracts.

Income Taxes

Consolidated income tax benefit decreased $115, or 13.4%, to a benefit of $745 during the three months ended June 30, 2013 compared to consolidated income tax benefit of $860 during the same period in 2012. The decrease in tax benefit is primarily due to the decrease in the effective income tax rate recorded during the three months ended June 30, 2012.

Our effective income tax rate was 24.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2013 compared to 31.1% for the same period in 2012. Factors that could cause our annual effective tax rate to differ materially from our quarterly effective tax rates include changes in the geographic mix of taxable income and discrete events that may occur in various quarters. There were no meaningful discrete events recorded in the Company’s effective income tax rate calculation for the three months ended June 30, 2013.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

(in thousands, except per share amounts)

Sales

Consolidated sales increased $11,521, or 14.7%, to $89,855 during the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to consolidated sales of $78,334 during the six months ended June 30, 2012. The increase in sales was primarily attributable to the inclusion of POC and PIEPS and an increase in the quantity and average sales price of new and existing climb and mountain products sold during the period, partially off-set by reduced spring/summer orders resulting from an extended late winter season and a cool wet spring as well as evolving industry purchasing trends. We also experienced a decrease in sales of $328 due to the weakening of foreign currencies against the U.S. dollar during the six months ended June 30, 2013.

Consolidated domestic sales increased $1,154, or 3.4%, to $35,595 during the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to consolidated domestic sales of $34,441 during the six months ended June 30, 2012. The increase in domestic sales was primarily attributable to the inclusion of POC, partially off-set by reduced spring/summer orders resulting from an extended late winter season and a cool wet spring as well as evolving industry purchasing trends.

Consolidated international sales increased $10,367, or 23.6%, to $54,260 during the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to consolidated international sales of $43,893 during the six months ended June 30, 2012. The increase in international sales was primarily attributable to the inclusion of POC and PIEPS and an increase in the quantity and average sales price per unit of new and existing climb and mountain products sold during the period. We also experienced a decrease in sales of $328 due to the weakening of foreign currencies against the U.S. dollar during the six months ended June 30, 2013.

Cost of Goods Sold

Consolidated cost of goods sold increased $7,733, or 16.4%, to $54,985 during the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to consolidated cost of goods sold of $47,252 during the six months ended June 30, 2012. The increase in cost of goods sold was primarily attributable to an increase in sales both organically and from the inclusion of POC and PIEPS.

Gross Profit

Consolidated gross profit increased $3,788 or 12.2%, to $34,870 during the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to consolidated gross profit of $31,082 during the six months ended June 30, 2012. Consolidated gross margin was 38.8% during the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to a consolidated gross margin of 39.7% during the six months ended June 30, 2012. Consolidated gross margin during the six months ended June 30, 2013 decreased compared to the prior year due to an unfavorable product mix in lower margin products and a higher level of close-out and promotional activity. The strengthening of the US dollar compared to the Japanese yen also had a negative impact on both sales and gross margin.

Selling, General and Administrative

Consolidated selling, general, and administrative expenses increased $11,837, or 43.7%, to $38,931 during the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to consolidated selling, general, and administrative expenses of $27,094 during the six months ended June 30, 2012. The increase in selling, general, and administrative expenses was primarily attributable to the inclusion of POC, PIEPS, Black Diamond Japan GK, and the Company’s investments in its strategic initiatives, such as apparel, and infrastructure to support both current and anticipated future growth.

Restructuring Charges

Consolidated restructuring expense increased to $175 during the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to consolidated restructuring expense of $0 during the same period in 2012. The restructuring expenses incurred during the six months ended June 30, 2013 relate to the relocation of POC’s Portsmouth, NH facility to the Company’s U.S. distribution facilities in Salt Lake City, UT.

Merger and Integration Costs

Consolidated merger and integration expense increased to $226 during the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to consolidated merger and integration expense of $0 during the same period in 2012, which consisted of expenses related to the integration of POC and PIEPS. We expect to incur additional merger and integration expenses throughout the year related to our ongoing integration of POC and PIEPS.

Transaction Costs

Consolidated transaction expense decreased $1,196, or 95.7%, to $54 during the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to consolidated transaction expense of $1,250 during the six months ended June 30, 2012, which consisted primarily of professional fees and expenses related to due diligence and the negotiation and documentation of acquisition related agreements in connection with the Company’s acquisition of POC on July 2, 2012.

Interest Expense, net

Consolidated interest expense increased $348, or 26.5%, to $1,660 during the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to consolidated interest expense of $1,312 during the six months ended June 30, 2012. The increase in interest expense was primarily attributable to higher average outstanding debt amounts during the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to the same period in 2012.

Other, net

Consolidated other, net, decreased to expense of $92 during the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to a consolidated other, net income of $95 during the six months ended June 30, 2012. The decrease in other, net, was primarily attributable to losses on mark-to-market adjustments on non-hedged foreign currency contracts partially off-set by the remeasurement gains recognized on the Company’s foreign denominated accounts receivable and accounts payable.

Income Taxes

Consolidated income tax expense decreased $1,807, or 215.4%, to a benefit of $968 during the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to consolidated income tax expense of $839 during the same period in 2012. The decrease in tax expense is due to the decrease in pre-tax income and effective income tax rate recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2012.

Our effective income tax rate was 15.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to 55.2% for the same period in 2012. Factors that could cause our annual effective tax rate to differ materially from our quarterly effective tax rates include changes in the geographic mix of taxable income and discrete events that may occur in various quarters. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, a benefit of $230 was recorded as a discrete event for the 2012 federal research credit that was retroactively reinstated in 2013.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Consolidated Six Months Ended June 30, 2013 Compared to Consolidated Six Months Ended June 30, 2012

The following presents a discussion of cash flows for the consolidated six months ended June 30, 2013 compared with the consolidated six months ended June 30, 2012. Our primary ongoing funding requirements are for working capital, expansion of our operations, and general corporate needs, as well as investing activities associated with targeted, strategic acquisitions and expansion into new product categories. We plan to fund our future expansion of operations and investing activities through a combination of our operating cash flows, revolving credit facility, and equity offerings. We believe that our liquidity requirements for at least the next 12 months will be adequately covered by existing cash, cash provided by operations, and our existing revolving credit facility. At June 30, 2013, we had total cash of $2,054 compared with a cash balance of $5,111 at December 31, 2012, which was substantially all controlled by the Company’s U.S. entities. At June 30, 2013, the Company had $479 of the $2,054 in cash held by foreign entities; however, this cash is available for repatriation without significant tax consequence.

Net Cash From Operating Activities

Consolidated net cash provided by operating activities was $3,629 during the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to consolidated net cash provided by operating activities of $1,669 during the six months ended June 30, 2012. The increase in net cash provided by operating activities during 2013 is primarily due to improved inventory levels, which was partially off-set by decreased profitability during the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to the same period in 2012.

Free cash flow, defined as net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures, was free cash flow of $1,085 during the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to free cash flow used of $1,086 during the same period in 2012. The Company believes that the non-GAAP measure, free cash flow, provides an understanding of the capital required by the Company to expand its asset base. A reconciliation of free cash flow to the comparable GAAP financial measure is set forth below:

	Six Months Ended
	June 30, 2013			June 30, 2012
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	3,629		$	1,669
Purchase of property and equipment		(2,544	)		(2,755	)
Free cash flow	$	1,085		$	(1,086	)

Net Cash From Investing Activities

Consolidated net cash used in investing activities increased by $521 to $3,276 during the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to $2,755 during the six months ended June 30, 2012. The increase is a result of the Company’s acquisition of Gregory’s Japanese distribution assets from A&F, the prior distributor of Gregory’s products in Japan, for $750, partially offset by a decrease in capital expenditures.

Net Cash From Financing Activities

Consolidated net cash used by financing activities decreased by $45,618 to $3,466 during the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to consolidated cash provided by financing activities of $42,152 during the six months ended June 30, 2012. The financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2012 were comprised of: (i) proceeds from the sale of stock and proceeds from the exercise of stock options $62,562 and $447, respectively; and (ii) net payments on the Company’s debt line of credit of $20,857. The absence of these activities during the six months ended June 30, 2013 generated a decrease in net cash provided by financing compared to the six months ended June 30, 2012.

Net Operating Loss

As of December 31, 2012, the Company had net operating loss, research and experimentation credit, and alternative minimum tax credit carryforwards for U.S. federal income tax purposes of $214,195 ($1,853 relates to tax windfall, which will not be realized until an income tax payable exists), $1,640 and $291, respectively. The Company believes its U.S. Federal net operating loss (“NOL”) will substantially offset its future U.S. Federal income taxes, excluding the amount subject to U.S. Federal Alternative Minimum Tax (“AMT”). AMT is calculated as 20% of AMT income. For purposes of AMT, a maximum of 90% of income is offset by available NOLs. The majority of the Company’s pre-tax income is currently earned and expected to be earned in the U.S., or taxed in the U.S., as Subpart F. income and will be offset with the NOL. The $212,342 of net operating losses available to offset taxable income does not expire until 2020 or later, subject to compliance with Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

As of December 31, 2012, the Company’s gross deferred tax asset was $91,976. The Company has recorded a valuation allowance, resulting in a net deferred tax asset of $74,366, excluding deferred tax liabilities. Management has provided a valuation allowance against some of the net deferred income tax assets as of December 31, 2012, because the ultimate realization of those benefits and assets does not meet the more likely than not criteria.

Revolving Credit Facility

On March 8, 2013, the Company together with its direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries entered into an amended and restated loan agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Zions First National Bank to refinance the line of credit with a new maturity date of March 8, 2016. Under the Loan Agreement, the Company has a $30,000 Revolving Line of Credit for funding general corporate needs. In addition to the Revolving Line of Credit, the Company obtained a Term Facility and Acquisition Facility from the Lender. Under the Term Facility, the Lender has made available $15,000 for funding permanent working capital, of which $10,000 was used upon the close of the Loan Agreement to reduce amounts owed on the already existing revolving credit facility. The remaining $5,000 is available to fund existing term debt of foreign subsidiaries or to reduce the Revolving Line of Credit Facility. The term loan is due and payable in monthly payments of principal and interest based on a 10 year amortization from the closing date and is adjusted monthly based on new advances. Advances under the Term Facility are available through March 8, 2016, with all the principal and interest due March 8, 2023. The Acquisition Facility allows the Company to borrow up to $10,000 to fund permitted acquisitions. Advances less than $1,000 will not be permitted and only interest will be payable monthly for 12 months following each advance. Subsequent to 12 months of each advance, monthly payments of interest and principal will be made based on a five year amortization. Advances under the Acquisition Facility are available through March 8, 2016, with all principal and interest due six years from the date of each advance, but no later than March 8, 2021. Interest on all facilities is based on the one-month LIBOR rate plus an applicable margin as determined by the ratio of Total Senior Debt (as calculated in the Loan Agreement) to Trailing Twelve Month EBITDA (as calculated in the Loan Agreement). As of June 30, 2013, the Company had drawn down $8,426, $10,000, and $0 on the Revolving Line of Credit, Term Facility, and Acquisition Facility, respectively. As of June 30, 2013, the Company had the availability to draw on $21,574, $5,000, and $10,000 on the Revolving Line of Credit, Term Facility, and Acquisition Facility, respectively.

5% Senior Subordinated Notes due May 28, 2017

As part of the consideration payable to the Stockholders of GMP when the Company acquired GMP, the Company issued $14,517, $7,539, and $554 in 5% seven year subordinated promissory notes due May 28, 2017 (the “Merger Consideration Subordinated Notes”) to Kanders GMP Holdings, LLC, Schiller Gregory Investment Company, LLC, and five former employees of Gregory Mountain Products, respectively. Mr. Warren B. Kanders, the Company’s Executive Chairman and a member of its Board of Directors, is a majority member and a trustee of the manager of Kanders GMP Holdings, LLC. The sole manager of Schiller Gregory Investment Company, LLC is Mr. Robert R. Schiller, the Company’s Executive Vice Chairman and a member of its Board of Directors. The principle terms of the Merger Consideration Subordinated Notes are as follows: (i) the principal amount is due and payable on May 28, 2017 and is prepayable by the Company at anytime; (ii) interest will accrue on the principal amount at the rate of 5% per annum and shall be payable quarterly in cash; (iii) the default interest rate shall accrue at the rate of 10% per annum during the occurrence of an event of default; and (iv) events of default, which can only be triggered with the consent of Kanders GMP Holdings, LLC, are: (a) the default by the Company on any payment due under a Merger Consideration Subordinated Note; (b) the Company’s failure to perform or observe any other material covenant or agreement contained in the Merger Consideration Subordinated Notes; or (c) the Company’s instituting or becoming subject to a proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code. The Merger Consideration Subordinated Notes are junior to all senior indebtedness of the Company, except that payments of interest continue to be made under the Merger Consideration Subordinated Notes as long as no event of default exists under any senior indebtedness. Additionally, an uncured event of default under the Merger Consideration Subordinated Notes may result in an event of default under the Loan Agreement discussed above.

Given the below market interest rate for comparably secured notes and the relative illiquidity of the notes, we have discounted the notes to $8,640, $4,487, and $316, respectively, at the date of acquisition. We are accreting the discount on the notes to interest expense using the effective interest method over the term of the notes.

On April 7, 2011, Schiller Gregory Investment Company, LLC transferred its Merger Consideration Subordinated Note in equal amounts to the Robert R. Schiller Cornerstone Trust and the Deborah Schiller 2005 Revocable Trust. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, $182 and $363 in interest was paid to Kanders GMP Holdings, LLC, respectively, and $94 and $188 in interest, respectively, was paid to the Robert R. Schiller Cornerstone Trust and the Deborah Schiller 2005 Revocable Trust pursuant to the outstanding Merger Consideration Subordinated Notes.

On May 29, 2012 and August 13, 2012, five former employees of Gregory Mountain Products exercised certain sales rights and sold the Company’s outstanding 5% Unsecured Subordinated Notes due May 28, 2017 held by them (the “Gregory Subordinated Notes”) in the aggregate principal amount of approximately $365 to Kanders GMP Holdings, LLC and in the aggregate principal amount of approximately $189 to Schiller Gregory Investment Company, LLC. The principal amounts due under the outstanding Gregory Subordinated Notes are due and payable on May 28, 2017 and are prepayable by the Company at anytime. Interest accrues on the principal amount of the outstanding Gregory Subordinated Notes at the rate of 5% per annum and are payable quarterly in cash. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, $4 and $9 in interest was paid to Kanders GMP Holdings, LLC, respectively, and $2 and $5 in interest, respectively, was paid to Schiller Gregory Investment Company, LLC, pursuant to the outstanding Gregory Subordinated Notes.

Shelf Registration Statements

On February 1, 2011, our shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-171164) (the “Form S-3”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission was declared effective whereby we may offer, issue, and sell, from time to time, in one or more offerings and series, together or separately, shares of common stock, shares of preferred stock, debt securities or guarantees of debt securities up to an aggregate amount of $250,000. The proceeds of any offering are anticipated to be used in the strategic development and growth of our business, both organically and through acquisitions. On February 22, 2012, we consummated the closing of a public offering (the “Offering”) of 7,750 shares of the Company’s common stock, plus an additional 1,163 shares of common stock to cover an over-allotment option granted to the underwriters, at a price to the public of $7.50 per share (the “Offering Price”). Included in the total number of shares of common stock sold in the Offering were 1,333 shares of common stock purchased at the Offering Price by certain of the Company’s officers, directors and employees (the “Reserved Shares”). The Reserved Shares were subject to lock-up agreements restricting the sales of such shares for a period of 90 days, subject to extension under certain circumstances. The underwriters received an underwriting discount of 6%, or $0.45 per share, in connection with the sale of the shares of common stock in the Offering, other than with respect to the sale of the Reserved Shares, for which the underwriters did not receive any underwriting discount. The underwriters exercised the over-allotment option in full at the closing of the Offering. The net proceeds to the Company from the Offering, before expenses, were approximately $63,400. The common stock was offered and sold pursuant to a prospectus dated February 1, 2011, a preliminary prospectus supplement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 15, 2012 and a prospectus supplement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 17, 2012, in connection with a takedown from the Company’s Form S-3. After the Offering, we may offer, issue and sell, from time to time, in one or more offerings and series, together or separately, shares of our common stock, shares of our preferred stock, debt securities or guarantees of debt securities up to an aggregate amount of $183,156 pursuant to the Form S-3.

On August 19, 2011, our shelf registration statement on Form S-4 (File No. 333-175695) (the “Form S-4”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission was declared effective whereby we may issue an aggregate of 5,750 shares of common stock, which may be issued from time to time by the Company in connection with acquisitions by the Company of assets, businesses or securities.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

There has not been any material change in the market risk disclosure contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company’s management carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer/Vice President of Finance, its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, respectively, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”)) as of June 30, 2013, pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15. Such disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company is accumulated and communicated to the appropriate management on a basis that permits timely decisions regarding disclosure. Based upon that evaluation, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer/Vice President of Finance concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2013 are effective.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There has been no change in our control over financial reporting that occurred during our fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2013 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

BLACK DIAMOND, INC.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Legal Proceedings

The Company is involved in various legal disputes and other legal proceedings that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of business. Based on currently available information, the Company does not believe that it is reasonably possible that the disposition of any of the legal disputes the Company or its subsidiaries is currently involved in will have a material adverse effect upon the Company’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. It is possible that, as additional information becomes available, the impact on the Company could have a different effect.

Litigation

The Company is involved in various lawsuits arising from time to time that the Company considers ordinary routine litigation incidental to its business. Amounts accrued for litigation matters represent the anticipated costs (damages and/or settlement amounts) in connection with pending litigation and claims and related anticipated legal fees for defending such actions. The costs are accrued when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. The accruals are based upon the Company’s assessment, after consultation with counsel (if deemed appropriate), of probable loss based on the facts and circumstances of each case, the legal issues involved, the nature of the claim made, the nature of the damages sought and any relevant information about the plaintiffs and other significant factors that vary by case. When it is not possible to estimate a specific expected cost to be incurred, the Company evaluates the range of probable loss and records the minimum end of the range. Based on current information, the Company believes that the ultimate conclusion of the various pending litigations of the Company, in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Product Liability

As a consumer goods manufacturer and distributor, the Company faces the risk of product liability and related lawsuits involving claims for substantial money damages, product recall actions and higher than anticipated rates of warranty returns or other returns of goods.  The Company is therefore vulnerable to various personal injury and property damage lawsuits relating to its products and incidental to its business.

Based on current information, there are no pending product liability claims and lawsuits of the Company, which the Company believes in the aggregate will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Stock-Based Compensation Plan

6 Months Ended

Jun. 30, 2013

Stock-Based Compensation Plan [Abstract]

Stock-Based Compensation Plan

NOTE 12.  STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION PLAN

Under the Company’s 2005 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2005 Plan”), the Board of Directors has flexibility to determine the type and amount of awards to be granted to eligible participants, who must be employees, directors, officers or consultants of the Company or its subsidiaries.  The 2005 Plan allows for grants of incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, restricted stock awards, stock appreciation rights, and restricted units.  The aggregate number of shares of common stock that may be granted through awards under the 2005 Plan to any employee in any calendar year may not exceed 500 shares.  The 2005 Plan will continue in effect until June 2015 unless terminated sooner.

During the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company issued 73 stock options under the Company’s 2005 Plan to employees of the Company.  Of the 73 options issued, 40 will vest in four equal consecutive quarterly tranches from the date of grant.  The remaining 33 options granted will vest in three installments as follows: 13 shall vest on December 31, 2015 and the remaining shares shall vest equally on December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2017.

For computing the fair value of the stock-based awards, the fair value of each option grant has been estimated as of the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions:

Options Granted During the Six Months Ended June 30, 2013
Number of options	73
Option vesting period	1-5 Years
Grant price	$8.02 - $8.75
Dividend yield	0.00%
Expected volatility (a)	54.1% - 55.2%
Risk-free interest rate	1.12% - 1.40%
Expected life (years) (b)	5.31 - 6.95
Weighted average fair value	$4.23 - $4.51

(a) Since the Company’s historical volatility was not representative of the ongoing future business, the Company’s historical volatility was based on a combination of the Company’s volatility and the historical volatility of a peer group of companies within similar industries and similar size as the Company.

(b) Because the Company does not have sufficient historical exercise data to provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate the expected term for these grants, the Company utilized the simplified method in developing an estimate of the expected term of these options.

Using these assumptions, the fair value of the stock options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2013 was $315, which will be recognized over the vesting period of the options.

During the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company awarded 3 shares of common stock to an employee.  At the date the awards were issued the common stock was valued at $7.85 per share.

The total non-cash stock compensation expense related to restricted stock, stock options, and stock awards recorded by the Company during the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, was as follows:

	Three Months Ended
	June 30, 2013		June 30, 2012
Restricted stock	$	-	$	206
Stock options		272		178
Total	$	272	$	384
	Six Months Ended
	June 30, 2013		June 30, 2012
Restricted stock	$	-	$	409
Stock options		617		379
Stock awards		25		-
Total	$	642	$	788

The fair value of unvested restricted stock awards is determined based on the market price of our shares of common stock on the grant date.  As of June 30, 2013, there were 1,151 unvested stock options and unrecognized compensation cost of $3,171 related to unvested stock options, as well as 750 unvested restricted stock awards for which the compensation cost has been fully recognized.

Commitments And Contingencies

NOTE 13.  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company is involved in various legal disputes and other legal proceedings that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of business.  Based on currently available information, the Company does not believe that it is reasonably possible that the disposition of any of the legal disputes the Company or its subsidiaries is currently involved in will have a material adverse effect upon the Company’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.  It is possible that, as additional information becomes available, the impact on the Company could have a different effect.

The Company leases office, warehouse and distribution space under non-cancelable operating leases.  As leases expire, it can be expected that, in the normal course of business, certain leases will be renewed or replaced.  Certain lease agreements include escalating rents over the lease terms.  The Company expenses rent on a straight-line basis over the lease term which commences on the date the Company has the right to control the property.  The cumulative expense recognized on a straight-line basis in excess of the cumulative payments is included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities and other long-term liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Total rent expense of the Company for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 was $557and $413, respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 was $1,136 and $827, respectively.

Stock-Based Compensation Plan [Abstract]

Schedule Of Valuation Assumptions Used In Computing Fair Value Of Stock-Based Awards

Options Granted During the Six Months Ended June 30, 2013
Number of options	73
Option vesting period	1-5 Years
Grant price	$8.02 - $8.75
Dividend yield	0.00%
Expected volatility (a)	54.1% - 55.2%
Risk-free interest rate	1.12% - 1.40%
Expected life (years) (b)	5.31 - 6.95
Weighted average fair value	$4.23 - $4.51

(a) Since the Company’s historical volatility was not representative of the ongoing future business, the Company’s historical volatility was based on a combination of the Company’s volatility and the historical volatility of a peer group of companies within similar industries and similar size as the Company.

(b) Because the Company does not have sufficient historical exercise data to provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate the expected term for these grants, the Company utilized the simplified method in developing an estimate of the expected term of these options.

Nature Of Operations And Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies

NOTE 1.  NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Black Diamond, Inc. and subsidiaries (“Black Diamond” or the “Company,” which may be referred to as “we,” “us,” or “our”) as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and instructions to Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been included.  The results of the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be obtained for the year ending December 31, 2013.  These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission” or “SEC”).

Nature of Business

Black Diamond is a global leader in designing, manufacturing and marketing innovative active outdoor performance products for climbing, mountaineering, backpacking, skiing, cycling and a wide range of other year-round outdoor recreation activities.  Our principal brands include Black Diamond®, Gregory™, POC™ and PIEPS™ and are targeted not only to  the demanding requirements of core climbers, skiers and cyclists, but also to the more general outdoor performance enthusiasts and consumers interested in outdoor-inspired gear for their urban activities.  Our Black Diamond®, Gregory™, POC™ and PIEPS™ brandsare iconic in the active outdoor industry and linked intrinsically with the modern history of the sports we serve.  We believe our brands are synonymous with the performance, innovation, durability and safety that the outdoor and action sports communities rely on and embrace in their active lifestyle.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from these estimates.  Certain costs are estimated for the full year and allocated to interim periods based on estimates of time expired, benefit received, or activity associated with the interim period.  Some of the more significant estimates relate to derivatives, revenue recognition, income taxes, and valuation of long-lived assets, goodwill, and other intangible assets.

Significant Accounting Policies

There have been no significant changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies as described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-02, Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.  ASU 2013-02 establishes new requirements for disclosing reclassifications of items out of accumulated other comprehensive income and includes identification of the line items in net earnings affected by the reclassifications.  This standard is effective for annual and interim periods for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2012 (for us this was our 2013 first quarter).  The Company adopted the provisions of this update during the three months ended March 31, 2013, which provides additional detail on those financial statements as applicable, but did not have any other impact on our financial statements.

Revolving credit facilities (a)	$	8,426	$	20,000

(a) As of June 30, 2013, the Company had drawn down $8,426 on a $30,000 revolving credit facility with Zions First National Bank (the “Lender”).  On March 8, 2013, the Company entered into a new amended and restated loan agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) to refinance the line of credit with a new maturity date of March 8, 2016.  Under the Loan Agreement, the Company has a $30,000 Revolving Line of Credit for funding general corporate needs.  The Loan Agreement also provides for an Acquisition Facility which allows the Company to borrow up to $10,000 to fund permitted acquisitions.  Advances less than $1,000 will not be permitted and only interest will be payable monthly for 12 months following each advance.  Subsequent to 12 months of each advance, monthly payments of interest and principal will be made based on a five year amortization.  Advances under the Acquisition Facility are available through March 8, 2016, with all principal and interest due six years from the date of each advance, but no later than March 8, 2021.

The long-term debt agreements contain certain restrictive debt covenants that require the Company and its subsidiaries to maintain a minimum trailing 12-month earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, a positive amount of asset coverage, a minimum net worth, and a fixed charge coverage ratio.  At June 30, 2013, the Company was in compliance with all associated covenants.

(b) The Company’s foreign subsidiaries have revolving credit facilities with various financial institutions.  The Company had $764 and $1,488 in letters of credit as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

(c) The Loan Agreement also provides for a Term Facility pursuant to which the Lender has made available $15,000 for funding permanent working capital, of which $10,000 was used upon the close of the Loan Agreement to reduce amounts owed on the already existing revolving credit facility.  The remaining $5,000 is available to fund existing term debt of foreign subsidiaries or to reduce the Revolving Line of Credit Facility.  The Term Facility is due and payable in monthly payments of principal and interest based on a 10-year amortization from March 8, 2013 and is adjusted monthly based on new advances.  Advances under the Term Facility are available through March 8, 2016, with the all principal and interest due March 8, 2023.  Other various term loans are payable to financial institutions and a government entity with interest rates ranging from 2.00% to 5.50% and monthly installments ranging from $0 to $3.  The notes mature between October 2013 and January 2016 and are secured by equipment.

Derivative Financial Instruments

NOTE 8.  DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company’s primary exchange rate risk management objective is to mitigate the uncertainty of anticipated cash flows attributable to changes in exchange rates.  The Company primarily focuses on mitigating changes in cash flows resulting from sales denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar.  The Company manages this risk primarily by using currency forward and option contracts.  If the anticipated transactions are deemed probable, the resulting relationships are formally designated as cash flow hedges.

At June 30, 2013, the Company’s derivative contracts had a remaining maturity of less than two years.  The counterparty to these transactions had both long-term and short-term investment grade credit ratings.  The maximum net exposure to the counterparty is generally limited to the aggregate unrealized loss of all contracts with that counterparty.  At June 30, 2013 there was no such exposure to the counterparty.  The Company’s exposure is limited to the aggregate unrealized gain of $1,044 on all contracts at June 30, 2013.  However, the Company’s derivative counterparty has strong credit ratings and as a result, the Company does not require collateral to facilitate transactions.

The Company held the following contracts designated as hedged instruments as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012: 

	June 30, 2013
	Notional	Latest
	Amount	Maturity
Foreign exchange contracts - Norwegian Kroners	5,113	February-14
Foreign exchange contracts - British Pounds	932	February-14
Foreign exchange contracts - Euros	10,365	February-14
Foreign exchange contracts - Swiss Francs	14,582	February-14
Foreign exchange contracts - Canadian Dollars	6,295	February-14
Foreign exchange contracts - Japanese Yen	1,000,526	February-15
	December 31, 2012
	Notional	Latest
	Amount	Maturity
Foreign exchange contracts - Norwegian Kroners	7,131	February-14
Foreign exchange contracts - British Pounds	1,452	February-14
Foreign exchange contracts - Euros	17,186	February-14
Foreign exchange contracts - Swiss Francs	23,838	February-14
Foreign exchange contracts - Canadian Dollars	10,499	February-14

The Company accounts for these contracts as cash flow hedges and tests effectiveness by determining whether changes in the cash flow of the derivative offset, within a range, changes in the cash flow of the hedged item.  For contracts that qualify as effective hedge instruments, the effective portion of gains and losses resulting from changes in fair value of the instruments are included in accumulated other comprehensive income and reclassified to sales in the period the underlying hedge item is recognized in earnings.  $324 and $120 were reclassified to sales during the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $495 and $121 were reclassified to sales during the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

As of December 31, 2012, the Company reported an accumulated derivative instrument loss of $169.  During the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company reported an adjustment to accumulated other comprehensive income of $690, as a result of the change in fair value of these contracts and reclassifications to sales, resulting in an accumulated derivative instrument gain of $521 reported as of June 30, 2013.

The following table presents the balance sheet classification and fair value of derivative instruments as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012: 

	Classification	June 30, 2013		December 31, 2012

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]

Earnings Per Share

NOTE 11.  EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing earnings by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period.  Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing earnings by the total of the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period, plus the effect of outstanding stock options and unvested restricted stock grants.  Potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share if their effect is anti-dilutive.

The following table is a reconciliation of basic and diluted shares of common stock outstanding used in the calculation of earnings per share:

	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
	June 30, 2013		June 30, 2012		June 30, 2013		June 30, 2012
Weighted average shares outstanding - basic		31,836		30,814		31,800		28,246
Effect of dilutive stock awards		-		-		-		335
Weighted average shares outstanding - diluted		31,836		30,814		31,800		28,581
Earnings per share:
Basic	$	(0.07)	$	(0.06)	$	(0.17)	$	0.02
Diluted		(0.07)		(0.06)		(0.17)		0.02

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, basic net loss per share was the same as diluted net loss per share because all potentially dilutive securities were anti-dilutive due to the net loss for the period.  For the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, options to purchase 1,659 and 1,620 shares of common stock, respectively, were outstanding and anti-dilutive due to the net loss for the period.  Additionally, options to purchase 894 and 1,027 shares of common stock were outstanding and anti-dilutive because the exercise prices were higher than the average market price of the Company’s common stock for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, and 750 shares of unvested restricted stock were outstanding and excluded as their required performance or market conditions were not met.

For the three months ended June 30, 2012, basic net loss per share was the same as diluted net loss per share because all potentially dilutive securities were anti-dilutive due to the net loss for the period.  Options to purchase 2,162 shares of common stock were outstanding and anti-dilutive due to the net loss for the period.  Additionally, options to purchase 410 and 420 shares of common stock were outstanding and anti-dilutive because the exercise prices were higher than the average market price of the Company’s common stock for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively, and 750 shares of unvested restricted stock as their required performance or market conditions were not met.

NOTE 14.  INCOME TAXES

The Company’s foreign operations that are considered to be permanently reinvested have statutory tax rates of approximately 19% - 39%.

As of December 31, 2012, the Company’s gross deferred tax asset was $91,976.  The Company has recorded a valuation allowance, resulting in a net deferred tax asset of $74,366, excluding deferred tax liabilities.  Management has provided a valuation allowance against some of the net deferred income tax assets as of December 31, 2012, because the ultimate realization of those benefits and assets does not meet the more likely than not criteria.

As of December 31, 2012, the Company had net operating loss, research and experimentation credit and alternative minimum tax credit carryforwards for U.S. federal income tax purposes of $214,195 ($1,853, relates to tax windfall, which will not be realized until an income tax payable exists), $1,640 and $291, respectively.  The Company believes its U.S. Federal net operating loss (“NOL”) will substantially offset its future U.S. Federal income taxes, excluding the amount subject to U.S. Federal Alternative Minimum Tax (“AMT”).  AMT is calculated as 20% of AMT income.  For purposes of AMT, a maximum of 90% of income is offset by available NOLs.

Fair Value Of Measurements [Abstract]

Fair Value Of Measurements

NOTE 10.  FAIR VALUE OF MEASUREMENTS

We measure certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis.  Fair value is defined as an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants, under a three-tier fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

Level 1- inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted market prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 2- inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices in markets that are not active or model inputs that are

              observable either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

Level 3- inputs to the valuation methodology are based on prices or valuation techniques that are unobservable.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 were as follows:

Basis Of Presentation And Organization

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Black Diamond, Inc. and subsidiaries (“Black Diamond” or the “Company,” which may be referred to as “we,” “us,” or “our”) as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and instructions to Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been included.  The results of the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be obtained for the year ending December 31, 2013.  These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission” or “SEC”).

Nature of Business

Use Of Estimates

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from these estimates.  Certain costs are estimated for the full year and allocated to interim periods based on estimates of time expired, benefit received, or activity associated with the interim period.  Some of the more significant estimates relate to derivatives, revenue recognition, income taxes, and valuation of long-lived assets, goodwill, and other intangible assets.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-02, Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.  ASU 2013-02 establishes new requirements for disclosing reclassifications of items out of accumulated other comprehensive income and includes identification of the line items in net earnings affected by the reclassifications.  This standard is effective for annual and interim periods for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2012 (for us this was our 2013 first quarter).  The Company adopted the provisions of this update during the three months ended March 31, 2013, which provides additional detail on those financial statements as applicable, but did not have any other impact on our financial statements.
