Significant Accounting Policies
The Company’s significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 to the Company’s Annual Report onconsolidated financial statements included in the 2018 Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.10-K. Except for the changes below, the Company has consistently applied the accounting policies to all periods presented in these condensed consolidated financial statements.
Adoption of ASCAccounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers"842, “Leases” (In thousands, except lease terms and discount rates)
The Company adopted ASC Topic 606, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" ("842,“Leases” (“Topic 606"842”) with a date of initial application of January 1, 2018.2019. As a result of this adoption, the Company has changed its accounting policy for revenue recognitionleases as detailed below.
The Company applied Topic 606842 on January 1, 2018,2019, using the modified retrospective approach, withapproach. The adoption of Topic 842 includes the cumulative effect of adopting the new standard being recognized in retained earnings at January 1, 2018.2019, which allows for the application of the standard solely to the transition period in 2019 but does not require application to prior fiscal comparative periods presented. Therefore, the prior period comparative information has not been adjusted and continues to be reported under the previous ASC Topic 605. 840, “Leases” (“Topic 840”) standard. The Company also elected the package of available practical expedients allowable under Topic 842 guidelines in its adoption approach.
The adoption of Topic 606842 resulted in an increase in accounts receivablelong-term lease liabilities of $115;$10,684 which was included in operating lease liabilities; an increase in prepaid expenses and othershort-term lease liabilities of $2,362 which was included in current portion of operating lease liabilities; an initial recognition of right of use (“ROU”) assets of $1,255 for the recognition of the$8,842 which was included in operating lease right of returnuse assets; an increase in accrued liabilities of $314; an increase in sales return liabilitydeferred tax assets, net of $5,250 for the recognition$1,424; a derecognition of the sales return liability on a gross basis and for the change in estimating refund$3,346 related to lease liabilities under Topic 606;840 which was included in accrued liabilities; a decrease in deferred revenuerent of $314;$819 which was included in accrued liabilities; and a decrease of $3,880$39 in retained earnings as a cumulative effect of adoption.

As the Company did not have any finance leases upon adoption of Topic 842 at January 1, 2019, the largest driver of changes for the adoption of Topic 606842 was the change in estimate for price concessions offered to end customers. Under Topic 605, price concessions to end customers were recognized when such incentives were explicitly offeredaddition of the Company’s operating leases to the end customer, whereas under Topic 606 such incentives are estimatedcondensed consolidated balance sheet, creating ROU assets and recorded at the time of the sale of products to the Company’s customers.

The accounts that changed under Topic 606 forlease liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2018 have been outlined as follows:

The accounts that changedbalance sheets, whereas under Topic 606 for842, ROU assets and lease liabilities are calculated and recorded on the lease commencement date. The standard had a material impact in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, but did not have a significant impact in its condensed consolidated statements of operations. In addition, the adoption of Topic 842 had no impact to cash provided by or used in operating, financing, or investing on the condensed consolidated statementstatements of operationscash flows.
Lease accounting policy
The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at contract inception and then determines if such qualifying lease is classified as an operating lease or a finance lease. As of June 30, 2019, the Company only has operating leases. For operating leases, the Company measures lease liabilities based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. As most of its leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses an incremental borrowing rate based on relevant information available at each leases' commencement date in determining the present value of future payments for each individual lease. ROU assets are measured as the sum of the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability, plus any prepaid lease payments made minus any lease incentives received, and any initial direct costs incurred. The Company’s lease terms may include options to extend or terminate leases that will be recognized when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Lease expense for operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
The Company has lease agreements with lease and non-lease components under the definition of Topic 842. Upon adoption of Topic 842, the Company elected a practical expedient not to separate the lease and non-lease components for its leases for physical space and equipment and accounts for them as a single lease component.
Lease information
The Company has operating leases for offices, retail stores, and warehouse space that expire through 2027. The Company’s leases have remaining lease terms of 7 months to 9 years, some of which include options to extend the leases up to 10 years. The following summarizes the activities in the Company’s ROU assets and lease liabilities for the six months ended June 30, 2019:

Revenue recognition accounting policy
The Company’s revenue is derived from (1) salesa component of our products through our indirect channel, including retailersselling, general and distributors; (2) sales of our products through our direct channel, including www.ZAGG.com and www.mophie.com (The URLs are included here as inactive textual references and information contained on, or accessible through, our websites is not a part of, and is not incorporated by reference into, this report) and our corporate-owned ZAGG-branded store; and (3) from franchise fees derived from the on-boarding of new franchisees and the sales of our products to franchisees.

The observable standalone selling pricesoperations. As of products sold are based on the prices charged to customers and are mutually agreed upon by both parties before any orders are authorized.

For substantially all of our sales, revenue is recognized at a point in time when control of the goods is transferred to the customer, which generally occurs upon delivery to the carrier or the customer. For franchise fees, revenue is derived from the sale of licenses, training, equipment and marketing, among other items. We recognize revenue for performance obligations on a straight-line basis over the franchise term.
Taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction, that are collected byJune 30, 2019, the Company fromhad a customer, are excluded from revenue.weighted-average remaining lease term of 5.4 years and a weighted-average discount rate used to calculate the lease liability of 4.42%.
Sales returns, discounts and other credits
The natureFuture maturities of our contracts gives rise to several types of variable consideration, including sales returns, discounts, and other credits. Certain customers receive credit-based incentives or credits, which are accounted for as variable consideration in the form of credit memos off future purchases from the Company. We estimate these amounts based on the expected amount to be provided to customers and reduce revenue accordingly on the invoice date.
We estimate a reserve for sales returns, discounts, and other credits, and record the respective estimated reserve amounts, including a right to return asset when a product is expected to be returned and resold. Historical experience, actual claims, and customer return rights are the key factors used in determining the estimated sales returns, discounts, and other credits.
Contract balances
The following table provides information about receivables, right of return assets, contractlease liabilities refund liabilities, and warranty liabilities from contracts with customers as of June 30, 2018:2019 were as follows:

The current balance of the right of return assets is the estimated amount of inventory to be returned that is expected to be resold. The current balance of contract liabilities primarily relates to the advance consideration received from customers for products for which transfer of control has not yet occurred, and therefore recognition of revenue is deferred until the transfer of control. The current balance of refund liabilities is the expected amount of sales returns, discounts and other credits from sales that have occurred.
Practical expedients and policy elections
The Company applies the following practical expedients in its application of Topic 606:
• The Company does not adjust the transaction price for significant financing components for periods less than one year.
• The Company recognizes the incremental costs of obtaining contracts as an expense when incurred if the amortization period of the assets that the Company otherwise would have recognized is one year or less. These costshas significant rights and obligations as the lessee except those noted above.

Minimum rental payments for operating leases required under Topic 840 as of December 31, 2018 are included in selling, general, and administrative expenses.as follows:
• The Company recognizes the cost for shipping and handling as a fulfillment activity after control over products have transferred to the customer. For product sales, our standard shipping terms are FOB shipping point, and we record revenue when the product is shipped, net of estimated returns and discounts.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements 
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842),”which requires lessees to recognize most leases, including operating leases, on-balance sheet via a right of use asset and lease liability. Lessees are allowed to account for short-term leases (i.e., leases with a term of 12 months or less) off-balance sheet, consistent with current operating lease accounting. A number of other significant changes to lease accounting have been effected through the issuance of this standard. The requirements of the new standard for leases shall be recognized and measured at the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented. When adopted, the Company will be required to adjust equity at the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented, and the other comparative amounts disclosed for each prior period presented in the financial statements, as if the requirements of the new standard had always been applied. The new standard also contains practical expedients which the Company may elect to follow. The new standard is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements, including whether to elect the practical expedients outlined in the new standard.

(3) ACQUISITIONS
Acquisition of HALO
On January 3, 2019, (the “HALO Acquisition Date”), ZAGG Hampton LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a membership interest purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Halo2Cloud, LLC (“HALO”) and its equity owners to acquire all of the outstanding equity interests of HALO (the “HALO Acquisition”). HALO is a leading direct-to-consumer mobile accessories company with an extensive intellectual property portfolio that specializes in wireless charging, car and wall chargers, portable power, and other accessories. The Company acquired HALO to expand its product and intellectual property portfolio, and to enter into new distribution channels.
The total purchase consideration for the HALO Acquisition was $23,943 in cash, 1,458 shares of the Company’s common stock valued at $12,968, and contingent consideration estimated at $1,593 (the “HALO Earnout Consideration”). The initial purchase price was subject to adjustment within 90 days of the HALO Acquisition Date based upon the final determination of HALO’s (i) working capital, (ii) indebtedness, and (iii) transaction expenses as set forth in the Purchase Agreement.
As agreed in the Purchase Agreement, the Company retained $2,424 from the cash due to the sellers and will hold this amount for 18 months following the HALO Acquisition Date as security for HALO’s indemnification obligations. The $2,424 retained by the Company that is due HALO is recorded in other long-term liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
HALO is also entitled to the HALO Earnout Consideration from the Company if HALO achieves the target Adjusted EBITDA set forth in the Purchase Agreement for the year ending December 31, 2019. If, however, HALO’s actual Adjusted EBITDA is less than the target Adjusted EBITDA for the year ending December 31, 2019, the HALO Earnout Consideration will be reduced by the difference between the actual Adjusted EBITDA and the target Adjusted EBITDA.

Contingent consideration1,593 
Total purchase price$38,504 
The total purchase price of $38,504 has been allocated to identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their preliminary fair values. The excess of the purchase price over the preliminary fair value of the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed is recorded as goodwill.
The following table summarizes the preliminary estimates of the fair values of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the HALO Acquisition Date. The preliminary estimates of the fair value of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed are based on estimates and assumptions and are subject to revisions, which may result in adjustments to the preliminary values presented below, when management’s estimates are finalized:

Total$38,504 
The Company is still finalizing the fair value measurements of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, and therefore, the Company’s fair value estimates for the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are preliminary and may change during the allowable measurement period. The allowable measurement period continues to the date the Company obtains and analyzes all relevant information that existed as of the HALO Acquisition Date necessary to determine the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, but in no case is to exceed more than one year from the HALO Acquisition Date. The Company is analyzing information to verify assets acquired and liabilities assumed.
Identifiable Intangible Assets
Classes of acquired intangible assets include technologies, trade names, and customer relationships. The fair value of the identifiable intangible assets was determined using the income valuation method. 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.

Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the HALO purchase price over the preliminary fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The Company believes that the primary factors supporting the amount of goodwill recognized are the significant growth opportunities and expected synergies of the combined entity.

(4)(6) INCOME TAXES
For interim periods, the tax provision is determined utilizing an estimate of the Company’s annual effective tax rate adjusted for discrete items, if any. The Company's effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 20182019, was 23%13% and 15%20%, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 20172018, was 31%23% and (24)%15%, respectively. The change in the effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 20182019, compared to the three months ended June 30, 20172018, was primarily due to several factors including but not limitedthe impact of a discrete item for restricted stock unit awards relative to a change inpre-tax book income for the federal statutory rate from 35% to 21% and an increase to income in foreign jurisdictions.period. The change in the effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 20182019, compared to the six months ended June 30, 20172018, was due to several factors including but not limited to a changedifference in the federal statutory rate from 35% to 21%, a change to book incomeamount of the discrete item for restricted stock unit awards, as well as an increase in the second quarteramounts disallowed under §162(m) of 2018 compared to a book loss in the second quarter of 2017, and an increase to income from foreign jurisdictions.Internal Revenue Code. The Company’s effective tax rate will generally differ from the U.S. Federal statutory rate of 21%, due to state taxes, permanent items including amounts disallowed under §162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, the Company’s global tax strategy, and the inclusion of global intangible low taxed income and the corresponding foreign tax credit.
(5) DEBT AND LINE OF CREDIT
Long-term debt, net as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, was as follows:
June 30, 2018December 31, 2017
Line of credit $20,000 $23,475 
Long-term debt, net of deferred loan costs of $0 and $141— 13,922 
Total debt outstanding20,000 37,397 
Current portion of total debt outstanding, net of deferred loan costs of $0 and $141 — 37,397 
Total long-term debt outstanding$20,000 $— 
On April 12, 2018, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Credit and Security Agreement (the “New Credit Agreement”) with KeyBank National Association, as Administrative Agent, Swing Line Lender and Issuing Lender, KeyBanc Capital Markets Inc., as Sole Lead Arranger and Sole Book Runner, and other members of the lender group.
The New Credit Agreement consists of an $85,000 secured revolving credit facility (the “Revolver”), which is not subject to borrowing base limitations. In addition, at the Company’s option, up to $40,000 of the Revolver may be made available for the issuance of letters of credit. Proceeds from the Revolver were used to fully retire the term loan and thus the Revolver is the only credit instrument effective April 12, 2018. The Company had a loss of $243 of deferred loan costs that were written off as of the New Credit Agreement effective date, and the Company carried over $522 of previously capitalized deferred loan costs with the modification of the existing debt. The Company capitalized $294 in additional debt issuance costs, for a new beginning balance of $815 of deferred loan costs, with $780 remaining to be amortized which is included in other assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheet.
The Revolver initially bears interest at an annual rate, at the Company’s option, of (i) the Base Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus a margin of 0.25% to 1.375% based on the prior quarter-end Leverage Ratio or (ii) the Eurodollar Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus a margin of 1.25% to 2.375% based on the prior quarter-end Leverage Ratio. The Revolver matures April 11, 2023, subject to early termination in the event of default.
In addition, the Company is required to pay a monthly Applicable Commitment Fee Rate (as defined in the New Credit Agreement) that can fluctuate between 0.175% and 0.275% based on the Leverage Ratio (as defined in the New Credit Agreement). The commitment fee is calculated monthly using the Maximum Revolving Amount (as defined in the New Credit Agreement) at the end of each calendar month, minus the Revolving Credit Exposure (exclusive of the Swing Line Exposure) (each as defined in the New Credit Agreement) at the end of such day, multiplied by the Applicable Commitment Fee Rate in effect on such day divided by three hundred sixty (360). The monthly commitment fee is payable quarterly in arrears, commencing on July 1, 2018 and continuing on each regularly scheduled payment date thereafter.

11

The New Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties and restrictive covenants. The New Credit Agreement also contains affirmative and negative covenants requiring, among other things, the Company to meet certain financial ratio tests and to provide certain information to the lenders. The New Credit Agreement also includes financial maintenance covenants that require compliance with a Leverage Ratio and a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (each as defined in the New Credit Agreement), tested at the end of each fiscal quarter commencing with the three months ended June 30, 2018.
The New Credit Agreement also contains customary events of default. If an event of default occurs, the lenders under the Credit Agreement would be entitled to take various actions, including the acceleration of amounts due thereunder and all other actions permitted to be taken by a secured creditor.
As part of the New Credit Agreement, the lockbox arrangement requirement in the prior agreement was terminated and thus the Company now has full dominion of cash upon receipt from customers. Because of the lockbox arrangement in the prior agreement, amounts outstanding under the Revolver were classified as a current liability because cash receipts were required to be automatically swept against the Revolver. Because the New Credit Agreement does not have a lockbox arrangement and the Revolver does not mature until 2023, the Revolver is classified as a non-current liability.

(7)(8) EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARESHARE:
Basic earnings (loss) per common share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net earnings (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per common share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if stock options and restricted stock, 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.

(10)(11) 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,customarily exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in cash accounts for the six months ended June 30, 20182019, and 2017.2018.
AtAs of June 30, 20182019, and December 31, 2017,2018, three and two separate customers were equal to or exceeded 10% of the balance of accounts receivable, respectively, as follows:
June 30, 2018December 31, 2017June 30, 2019December 31, 2018

Verizon Wireless ("Verizon")Verizon Wireless ("Verizon")19%  1%  
The Company established a direct sales relationship with Verizon during the second half of 2018. Previous to the Company's direct sales relationship with Verizon, Verizon purchased the Company's products through Superior. No other customer account balances were more than 10% of accounts receivable atas of June 30, 2018 or2019, and December 31, 2017.2018. 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 suppliers
We do not directly manufacture any of our products; rather, we employ various third party manufacturing partners in the United States and Asia to perform these services on our behalf. The services employed by these third parties include the selection of sub-suppliers that provide raw materials and other components used in the manufacturing process. We have endeavored to use common components and readily available raw materials in the design of our products that can be sourced from multiple sub-suppliers. However, raw film used in our InvisibleShield film and InvisibleShield On-Demand (“ISOD”) products has been produced by a single supplier for many years. Our film supplier has contractually agreed to not sell the raw materials to any of our competitors.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of our financial statements requires that we make estimates and judgments. We basejudgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of these amounts in the notes to the financial statements. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believeare believed to be reasonable.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. Our critical accounting policies and estimates are discussed in Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of our Annual Report on2018 Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.10-K. There have been no material changes to the critical accounting policies or estimates previously disclosed in that report except for the implementation of certain estimates for revenue recognition under Topic 606 as disclosed below.

19

Revenue recognition accounting policy
The Company’s revenue is derived from (1) sales of our products through our indirect channel, including retailers and distributors; (2) sales of our products through our direct channel, including www.ZAGG.com and www.mophie.com and our corporate-owned ZAGG-branded store; and (3) from franchise fees derived from the on-boarding of new franchisees. The Company’s revenue is measured based on the amount of consideration we expect to receive, reduced by estimates for sales returns, discounts, and other credits. The observable standalone selling prices of products sold are based on the prices charged to customers and are mutually agreed upon by both parties before any orders are authorized.
For substantially all of our sales, revenue is recognized at a point in time when control of the goods is transferred to the customer, which generally occurs upon delivery to the carrier or the customer. For franchise fees, revenue is derived from the sale of licenses, training, inventory and equipment and marketing, among other items. We recognize revenue for performance obligations on a straight-line basis over the franchise term.
Taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction, that are collected by the Company from a customer, are excluded from revenue.
Topic 606 has required significant changes to how the Company's revenue is recognized. Updates to the Company's accounting policies have been made as part of adoption of this new standard. These changes to the Company's accounting policies and procedures under the new standard have most significantly impacted the estimates previously used to determine the company's sales returns, discounts and other credits. The new reserve calculations for these estimates apply assumptions allowable under Topic 606, which require judgment. In applying these new assumptions, and in the application of Topic 606, the Company has determined that the updated accounting policies to ensure compliance under Topic 606 continue to be critical accounting policies and estimates.
Sales returns, discounts and other credits
The nature of our contracts gives rise to several types of variable consideration, including sales returns, discounts, and other credits. Certain customers receive credit-based incentives or credits, which are accounted for as variable consideration in the form of credit memos off future purchases from the Company. We estimate these amounts based on the expected amount to be provided to customers and reduce revenue accordingly on the invoice date.
We estimate a reserve for sales returns, discounts, and other credits, and record the respective estimated reserve amounts, including a right to return asset when a product is expected to be returned and resold. Historical experience, actual claims, and customer return rights are the key factors used in determining the estimated sales returns, discounts, and other credits.report.

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.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
To remediate thisThe acquisition of HALO on January 3, 2019, represents a material weaknesschange in internal control over financial reporting since management’s last assessment of our internal control over financial reporting which resulted in an immaterial misstatement to net sales, accounts receivable, cost of goods sold, and inventorywas completed as of December 31, 2018. The HALO business utilizes separate information and accounting systems and processes. We intend to exclude the operations of HALO from the scope of our Sarbanes-Oxley Section 404 report on internal controls over financial reporting for the year ended December 31, 2017 (which misstatement was corrected prior to issuance of the 2017 consolidated financial statements in the Annual Report2019.

Inherent Limitations on the Effectiveness of Internal Controls
Internal control over financial reporting has inherent limitations. Internal control over financial reporting is a process that involves human diligence and compliance and is subject to lapses in judgment and breakdowns resulting from human failures. Internal control over financial reporting also can be circumvented by collusion or improper management override. Because of such limitations, there is a risk that material misstatements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
Certain of the legal proceedings in which we are involved are discussed in Note 9, “Commitments and Contingencies,10, “Contingencies,” to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and are hereby incorporated by reference.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
In addition to the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors, in our Annual Report on2018 Form 10-K, for the year ended December 31, 2017 (the “2017 Form 10-K”), which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. These risk factors should be read carefully in connection with evaluating our business and in connection with the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Any of the risks described in the 20172018 Form 10-K could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or future results and the actual outcome of matters as to which forward-looking statements are made. These are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, and/or operating results.
There were no material changes during the period covered in this report to the risk factors previously disclosed in our 2018 Form 10-K except as follows:
U.S. tariffs and international trade disputes could increase the cost of our products or make our products more expensive for customers.
On August 1, 2019, the U.S. Government announced a 10 percent tariff on an additional $300 billion worth of Chinese imports effective September 1, 2019, which would impact certain product lines that were previously not impacted by recent tariffs. With this additional tariff announcement, our business could be adversely affected by increased costs in importing our products. These factors could make our products less competitive and reduce consumer demand. We are uncertain of the potential future magnitude that these and other potential trade disputes and policies that may occur, and these factors could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, and operating results.
