NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
(Unaudited)
Note 1 — Basis of Presentation
The interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of Imation Corp. (Imation, the Company, we, us or our) are unaudited but, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Except as otherwise disclosed herein, these adjustments consist of normal, recurring items. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of full year results. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes are presented in accordance with the requirements for Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and do not contain certain information included in our annual Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes.
The preparation of the interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses for the reporting periods. Despite our intention to establish accurate estimates and use reasonable assumptions, actual results may differ from our estimates.
The December 31, 2008 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet data was derived from the audited Consolidated Financial Statements but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. This Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with our Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008. All subsequent events have been evaluated through August 7, 2009, the date at which these financial statements were issued.
Note 2 — Weighted Average Basic and Diluted Shares Outstanding
Basic earnings per share is calculated using the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed on the basis of the weighted average basic shares outstanding plus the dilutive effect of our stock-based compensation plans using the “treasury stock” method. The following table sets forth the computation of the weighted average basic and diluted shares outstanding:
Three Months Ended | Six Months Ended | |||||||||||||||

Dilutive effect of stock-based compensation plans | — | 0.1 | — | 0.1 | ||||||||||||
Weighted average number of diluted shares outstanding during the period | 37.5 | 37.5 | 37.5 | 37.7 | ||||||||||||
Options to purchase approximately 4,832,000 and 4,510,000 shares for the three and six month periods ended June 30 2009, respectively, were anti-dilutive and, therefore, were not included in the computation of diluted shares outstanding. Options to purchase approximately 3,627,000 and 3,313,000 shares for the three and six month periods ended June 30 2008, respectively, were anti-dilutive and, therefore, were not included in the computation of diluted shares outstanding.

(1) | As part of our restructuring programs, we ended operations and exited our Anaheim, California distribution center as well as our Camarillo, California manufacturing facility, which are being actively marketed for sale. We met the plan of sale criteria in Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 144,Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. Accordingly, the book value of the building and property was transferred in the quarter ended September 30, 2008 into other current assets, and is no longer being depreciated. During the three months ended June 30, 2009, we determined the fair value of the Anaheim facility less estimated costs to sell was less than the recorded cost. As such, we recorded an impairment of $2.3 million to reduce the book value to the fair value less estimated costs to sell the facility. |

We perform our annual test for goodwill impairment as of November 30th each year. Based on the assessment completed during the fourth quarter of 2008, we recorded $34.7 million of goodwill impairment, with goodwill of $23.5 million remaining in the Electronic Products reporting unit. Based on our Electronic Products reporting unit results, we believe that there is no impairment at June 30, 2009. However, due to the ongoing uncertainty in market conditions which may continue to negatively impact our market value of this reporting unit, we will continue to monitor and evaluate the carrying value of goodwill and our intangible assets. If our 2009 and future performance for this reporting unit is not equal to or greater than our planned expectations, there is an increased likelihood the $23.5 million of goodwill in this reporting unit could be impaired.

Note 6 — Stock-Based Compensation
We have stock-based compensation awards outstanding under five plans (collectively, the Stock Plans). We have stock options outstanding under our 1996 Employee Stock Incentive Program (Employee Plan) and our 1996 Directors Stock Compensation Program (Directors Plan). We have stock options and restricted stock outstanding under our 2000 Stock Incentive Plan (2000 Incentive Plan), our 2005 Stock Incentive Plan (2005 Incentive Plan) and our 2008 Stock Incentive Plan (2008 Incentive Plan). We also have restricted stock units outstanding under our 2005 Incentive Plan and 2008 Incentive Plan. As of June 30, 2009, there were 2,351,901 shares available for grant under our 2008 Incentive Plan. No further shares are available for grant under the Employee Plan, Directors Plan, 2000 Incentive Plan, or 2005 Incentive Plan.

Total stock-based compensation expense recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations associated with the Stock Plans for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 was $2.0 million and $2.0 million, respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 was $3.8 million and $4.6 million, respectively.
Stock Options
The following table summarizes our stock option activity for the six months ended June 30, 2009:
Weighted | ||||||||
Stock | Average | |||||||
Options | Exercise Price | |||||||
Outstanding December 31, 2008 | 4,103,756 | $ | 32.09 | |||||

Exercisable as of June 30, 2009 | 2,776,462 | $ | 33.87 | |||||
The weighted average grant date fair value of options that were granted during the six months ended June 30, 2009 was $3.95. Our weighted average assumptions used in the valuation of options were volatility of 41.2 percent, risk-free rate of 2.1 percent, expected life of 65 months, and dividend yield of zero for the six months ended June 30, 2009. As of June 30, 2009, there was $17.5 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested stock options granted under our Stock Plans. That expense is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.8 years.
Note 7 — Retirement Plans
Employer Contributions
During the six months ended June 30, 2009, we contributed approximately $2.3 million to our pension plans. We presently anticipate contributing additional amounts of approximately $3 million to $8 million to fund our pension plans in 2009.
In connection with actions taken under our previously announced restructuring programs, the number of employees accumulating benefits under our pension plan in the United States has reduced significantly. Participants in our U.S. pension plan have the option of receiving cash lump sum payments when exiting the plan, which a number of participants exiting the pension plan have elected to receive. In accordance with SFAS No. 88,Employers’ Accounting for Settlements and Curtailments of Defined Benefit Pension Plans and for Termination Benefits, once lump sum payments in 2009 exceeded our 2008 service and interest costs, a partial settlement event occurred and, therefore, we recognized a pro rata portion of the previously unrecognized net actuarial loss. As a result, we incurred partial settlement losses of $5.2 million in the second quarter of 2009 which were recorded in restructuring and other expense on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Further, as required by SFAS No. 158,Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans—an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R), we remeasured the funded status of our U.S. plan at the end of the second quarter of 2009.
Our cash balance pension plan is measured at fair value on a recurring basis (at least annually). In the United States, we maintain target allocation percentages among various asset classes based on an investment policy established for the plan, which is designed to achieve long-term objectives of return, while seeking to mitigate against downside risk, and considering expected cash flows. The current target asset allocation includes equity securities at 50 to 80 percent, debt securities at 15 to 25 percent and other investments at 10 to 25 percent. Other investments include cash and absolute return strategies investments. Management reviews our United States investment policy for the plan at least annually. Outside the United States, the investment objectives are similar to the United States, subject to local regulations. In some countries, a higher percentage allocation to fixed income securities is required.
The plan assets of our pension plans are valued at fair value primarily using quoted market prices. Investments, in general, are subject to various risks, including credit, interest and overall market volatility risks.

On July 13, 2009, after a lengthy litigation process, we entered into a confidential settlement agreement and recorded a litigation settlement charge of $49.0 million for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2009.
Imation filed a Declaratory Judgment Action on October 27, 2006, in Federal District Court in St. Paul, Minnesota requesting that the court resolve an ongoing dispute with Philips Electronics N.V., U.S. Philips Corporation and North American Philips Corporation (collectively, Philips). Philips had asserted that (1) the patent cross-license between 3M Company and Philips was not validly assigned to Imation in connection with the spin-off of Imation from 3M Company in 1996; (2) Imation’s 51 percent owned subsidiary, Global Data Media (GDM), was not a “subsidiary” as defined in the cross-license; (3) the coverage of the cross-license did not apply to Imation’s acquisition of Memorex; (4) the cross-license did not apply to DVD discs; (5) certain Philips patents that were not covered by the cross-license were infringed by Imation; and (6) as a result, Imation owed Philips royalties for the prior and future sales of CD and DVD discs. We believed that these allegations were without merit and filed a Declaratory Judgment Action to have a court reaffirm Imation’s rights under the cross-license. On February 26, 2007, the parties signed a Standstill Agreement and the litigation was voluntarily dismissed without prejudice. Imation and Philips held settlement negotiations but were unable to come to an agreement. Imation re-filed its Declaratory Judgment Action on August 10, 2007. Philips filed its Answer and Counterclaims against Imation and Moser Baer India Ltd. (MBI), Imation’s partner in GDM. Philips alleged that (1) the cross-license did not apply to companies that Imation purchased or created after March 1, 2000; (2) GDM was not a legitimate subsidiary of Imation; (3) Imation’s formation of GDM was a breach of the cross-license resulting in termination of the cross-license at that time; (4) Imation (including Memorex and GDM) infringed various patents that would otherwise have been licensed under the cross-license; and (5) Imation (including Memorex and GDM) infringed one or more patents that were not covered by the cross-license. Philips originally claimed damages of $655 million plus interest and costs, as well as a claim requesting a trebling of that amount. Imation was aware of these claims prior to filing its Declaratory Judgment Action.
On October 30, 2007, Imation filed its answers to Philips’ counterclaims and a Motion for Partial Summary Judgment on the issue of whether the patent cross-license was validly assigned by 3M Company to Imation. Philips did not contest Imation’s Motion and on November 26, 2007, the parties filed a stipulation affirming that the cross-license was validly assigned to Imation.
On April 7, 2008, Philips amended its counterclaims to (1) add claims that DVD discs sold by Imation infringed its patents, and (2) withdrew its specific claim of $655 million in damages in favor of the more general “damages in an amount to be proved at trial.”
On May 27, 2008, Philips filed a Motion for Judgment on the Pleadings that the cross-license did not apply to subsidiaries acquired or formed by Imation after March 1, 2000. Under this interpretation, the license would not have applied to GDM or Memorex Products, Inc. Imation disagreed with this interpretation.
The parties held court ordered settlement discussions from June through September 2008; however, no agreement was reached during that time.
On October 1, 2008, Imation filed a Motion for Leave to amend its Complaint. On November 18, 2008, the Magistrate Judge denied Imation’s Motion. Imation filed its Objection to the Magistrate Judge’s Order and on February 2, 2009, the Court affirmed the Magistrate Judge’s decision.

Table of Contents
On November 26, 2008, the Court issued a decision granting Philips’ Motion for Judgment on the pleadings relating to subsidiaries formed after March 1, 2000. Following this ruling, Imation and MBI filed a Motion for the Court to certify the ruling on this issue as final under FRCP 54(b) allowing for an interlocutory appeal to the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. The Court granted this Motion on January 21, 2009 and on January 23, 2009, Imation filed its Notice of Appeal with the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. Oral argument before the Court of Appeals was held on June 2, 2009.
On December 1, 2008, MBI filed two patent-related Summary Judgment Motions. A hearing on these Motions was held on January 16, 2009. These motions were denied in February and March 2009.
A hearing took place May 4 and May 5, 2009 during which the court considered evidence from the parties on the appropriate meanings of relevant words used in the patent claims.
On July 13, 2009, we entered into a confidential settlement agreement ending all legal disputes with Philips. The settlement provides resolution of all claims and counterclaims filed by the parties without any finding or admission of liability or wrongdoing by any party. As a term of the settlement, we will pay Philips $53 million over a period of three years. As a result of the settlement, we recorded a charge, based on the present value of these payments, of approximately $49 million or $0.81 per share (after the effect of taxes) in the second quarter of 2009. The discount rate applied in the calculation of present value is comparable to our 3-year corporate borrowing rate in an arm’s length transaction.
Although we were not a party to this lawsuit, on August 15, 2007, Philips initiated a lawsuit against MBI in The Hague, Netherlands, based on MBI’s optical license agreements with Philips. MBI had made a claim for indemnification of its legal expenses and potential liabilities for damages that were and are being incurred with respect to this claim as well as the US litigation described above. We entered into an agreement with Moser Baer which fully satisfies our obligation to indemnify MBI for any and all reasonable legal expenses incurred regarding the MBI indemnification.
The following settlement payments reflect future amounts to be paid to Philips in accordance with the terms of the settlement:
Future | ||||

Additionally, an escrow agreement between Philips and Imation entered into on October 29, 2007 will terminate. Imation and Philips will execute instructions to the escrow agent for the escrow balance of $3.5 million to be released to us resulting in expected net litigation settlement payments of $16.5 million in 2009.

During the three months ended June 30, 2009, we recorded severance and severance-related expense of $2.2 million for personnel reductions under our 2008 corporate redesign restructuring program initiated during the fourth quarter of 2008. The corporate redesign restructuring program further accelerates the alignment of our cost structure with our strategic direction by reducing selling, general and administrative expenses. We are reducing costs by rationalizing accounts and products and through simplifying our corporate structure globally. We also recorded severance and severance-related costs of $0.1 million related to our TDK recording media restructuring costs program which began during the third quarter of 2007.
During the three months ended June 30, 2009, we recorded $5.2 million in pension settlement costs as well as $2.3 million of asset impairment related to our Anaheim facility classified as assets held for sale within other current assets in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2009.
During the three months ended March 31, 2009, we recorded severance and severance-related costs of $4.4 million for personnel reductions and $0.2 million related to other activities under our 2008 corporate redesign restructuring program. We also recorded lease termination costs of $0.9 million, related to our 2008 cost reduction restructuring program, which included the consolidation of our Cerritos, California activities into our Oakdale, Minnesota headquarters and is intended to gain efficiency across brands and channels and reduce costs.
Changes in the 2008 corporate redesign restructuring program accruals for the six months ended June 30, 2009, were as follows:

Note 10 — Taxes
We file income tax returns in the United States federal jurisdiction and various state and foreign jurisdictions. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) commenced an examination in May 2008 of one of our U.S. subsidiary’s (Memorex Products Inc.) federal income tax returns for the years ended June 30, 2005 and June 30, 2006 and a stub period ended April 28, 2006. Further, an IRS audit of the 2006 and 2007 Imation Corp. and subsidiaries U.S. consolidated tax returns began in the fourth quarter of 2008. Some state and foreign jurisdiction tax years remain open to examination for years before 2006. We believe any additional assessments for years before 2006 will not be material to our consolidated financial statements.
The effective income tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 were 39.5 percent and 32.1 percent, respectively. The effective income tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 was 36.4 percent and 37.0 percent, respectively. The changes in the effective rate were primarily due to the mix of taxable loss/income by country.
Our net deferred tax assets were $93.4 million and $78.7 million as of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. Significant judgment is required in determining the realizability of our deferred tax assets. The assessment of whether valuation allowances are required considers, among other matters, the nature, frequency and severity of current and cumulative losses, forecasts of future profitability, the duration of statutory carryforward periods, our experience with loss carryforwards not expiring unused and tax planning alternatives. We anticipate for the year ending December 31, 2009 that we will report a three year cumulative tax loss in the United States primarily due to the 2008 goodwill impairment and the 2009 litigation settlement. Given these factors are nonrecurring in nature; we concluded the net deferred taxes at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 do not require any additional valuation allowances. If future results from our operations are less than projected, particularly in our primary markets, or if further intangible asset impairments are incurred, a valuation allowance may be required to reduce a portion or all of our deferred tax assets. This could have a material impact on our results of operations and financial position in the period in which the additional valuation allowance is recorded.

Taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities that were included in revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 were $14.2 million and $21.3 million, respectively. Taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities that were included in revenue in the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 were $27.9 million and $40.6 million, respectively.
Note 11 — Segment Information
We operate in two broad market categories: (1) removable data storage media products and accessories (Data Storage Media) and (2) audio and video consumer electronic products and accessories (Electronic Products).
Our Data Storage Media business is organized, managed and internally and externally reported as segments differentiated by the regional markets we serve: Americas, Europe and Asia Pacific. Each of these segments has responsibility for selling virtually all Imation product lines except for consumer electronic products. Consumer electronic products are sold primarily through our Electronic Products segment. The Electronic Products segment is currently focused primarily in North America and primarily under the Memorex brand name.
We evaluate segment performance based on revenue and operating income. Revenue for each segment is generally based on customer location where the product is shipped. The operating income reported in our segments excludes corporate and other unallocated amounts. Although such amounts are excluded from the business segment results, they are included in reported consolidated earnings. Corporate and unallocated amounts include research and development expense, corporate expense, stock-based compensation expense, impairment expense, the litigation settlement charge and restructuring and other expenses which are not allocated to the segments.

Note 12 — Derivative Financial Instruments
Effective January 1, 2009, we adopted SFAS No. 161,Disclosure About Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities — An Amendment of FASB Statement 133,which expands the quarterly and annual disclosure requirements for our derivative instruments and hedging activities.
We maintain a foreign currency exposure management policy that allows the use of derivative instruments, principally foreign currency forwards, option contracts, and option combination strategies, to manage risks associated with foreign exchange rate volatility. Generally, these contracts are entered into to fix the U.S. dollar amount of the eventual cash flows.
We are exposed to the risk of nonperformance by our counterparties in foreign currency forward and option contracts, but we do not anticipate nonperformance by any of these counterparties. We actively monitor our exposure to credit risk through the use of credit approvals and credit limits, and by using major international banks and financial institutions as counterparties.
Cash Flow Hedges
We attempt to mitigate the risk that forecasted cash flows denominated in foreign currencies may be adversely affected by changes in currency exchange rates through the use of option, forward and combination option contracts. We formally document all relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as our risk management objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge items. This process includes linking all derivatives to forecasted transactions.
We also formally assess, both at the hedge’s inception and on an ongoing basis, whether the derivatives used in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in the cash flows of hedged items. Gains and losses related to cash flow hedges are deferred in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) with a corresponding asset or liability. When the hedged transaction occurs, the gains and losses in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) are reclassified into the Consolidated Statement of Operations in the same line as the item being hedged. If at any time it is determined that a derivative is not highly effective as a hedge, we discontinue hedge accounting prospectively, with deferred gains and losses being recognized in current period operations.
Other Hedges
We enter into foreign currency forward contracts, generally with durations of less than two months, to manage the foreign currency exposure related to our monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies. We record the estimated fair value of these forwards within other current assets or other current liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, and all changes in their fair value are immediately recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The notional amounts and fair values of our derivative instruments in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements were as follows as of June 30, 2009:

Other | Other | |||||||||||
Notional | current | current | ||||||||||

Note 13 — Fair Value Measurements
Fair value of financial instruments
Effective January 1, 2009, we adopted SFAS No. 157,Fair Value Measurements,(SFAS 157) for our nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities measured on a non-recurring basis. We adopted SFAS 157 for financial assets and liabilities in 2008. The adoption of SFAS 157 did not have a material impact on our fair value measurements. Effective June 30, 2009, we adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Staff Position (FSP) Financial Accounting Standard (FAS) 157-4,Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderlyand FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1,Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments. The adoption of these recent accounting pronouncements did not have a material impact on our fair value measurements or on our condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
As of June 30, 2009 and 2008, our financial instruments included cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and derivative contracts. The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximated carrying values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. In addition, certain derivative instruments are recorded at fair values as discussed below.
Assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis:
As of June 30, 2009, we held derivative instruments that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis. Our derivative instruments consist of foreign currency forwards, option contracts, and option combination strategies. The fair value of our derivative instruments is determined based on inputs that are observable in the public market, but are other than publicly quoted prices (Level 2).

Assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis:
As of June 30, 2009, we held certain fixed assets available for sale. Included in these assets is our Anaheim facility which was closed as part of the restructuring announcements in 2008. As such, the facility has been held for sale. During the three months ended June 30, 2009, we determined the fair value of the Anaheim facility less estimated costs to sell was less than the recorded cost. Fair value was estimated based on current letters of intent received from third parties. As such, we recorded an impairment of $2.3 million to reduce the book value to the fair value less estimated costs to sell. The impairment related to the facility is included in the restructuring and other expense line item on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Note 14 — Litigation, Commitments and Contingencies
In the normal course of business, we periodically enter into agreements that incorporate general indemnification language. Performance under these indemnities would generally be triggered by a breach of terms of the contract or by a third-party claim. There has historically been no material losses related to such general indemnifications. In accordance with SFAS No. 5,Accounting for Contingencies, we record a liability in our consolidated financial statements for these actions when a loss is known or considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated.
We are the subject of various pending or threatened legal actions in the ordinary course of our business. All such matters are subject to many uncertainties and outcomes that are not predictable with assurance. Consequently, as of June 30, 2009, we are unable to ascertain the ultimate aggregate amount of any monetary liability or financial impact that we may incur with respect to these matters. While these matters could materially affect operating results depending upon the final resolution in future periods, it is our opinion that after final disposition, any monetary liability beyond that provided in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2009, would not be material to our financial position.
Philips
On July 13, 2009, we entered into a confidential settlement agreement ending all legal disputes with Philips. The settlement provides resolution of all claims and counterclaims filed by the parties without any finding or admission of liability or wrongdoing by any party. As a term of the settlement, we will pay Philips $53 million over a period of three years. As a result of the settlement, we recorded a charge, based on the present value of these payments, of approximately $49 million or $0.81 per share (after the effect of taxes) for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2009. See Note 8 herein for additional information.

SanDisk
On October 24, 2007, SanDisk Corporation (SanDisk) filed a patent infringement action in U.S. District Court, Western District of Wisconsin, against Imation and its subsidiaries, Imation Enterprises Corp. and Memorex Products, Inc. The lawsuit also names over twenty other companies as defendants. This action alleges that we have infringed five patents held by SanDisk: US Patent 6,426,893; 6,763,424; 5,719,808; 6,947,332 and 7,137,011. SanDisk alleges that our sale of various flash memory products, such as USB flash drives and certain flash card formats, infringes these patents and is seeking damages for prior sales, and an injunction and/or royalties on future sales. This action has been stayed pending resolution of the related case described below.
Also on October 24, 2007, SanDisk filed a complaint with the United States International Trade Commission (ITC) against the same Imation entities listed above, as well as over twenty other companies. This action involves the same patents and the same products as described above and SanDisk is seeking an order from the ITC blocking the defendants’ importation of these products into the United States.
The ITC hearing was held October 27, 2008 through November 4, 2008. Prior to the hearing, SanDisk affirmatively withdrew three of the five patents (US Nos. 6,426,893; 5,719,808; and 6,947,332) from the case. On April 10, 2009, the Administrative Law Judge issued his Initial Determination that the asserted patent claim of U.S. Patent No. 7,137,011 was invalid and not infringed and also finding that U.S. Patent No. 6,673,424 was not infringed. SanDisk filed a Petition for Review on May 4, 2009 to ask the ITC to review the Initial Determination. The ITC is expected to rule on SanDisk’s Petition for Review by October 23, 2009.
Some of our suppliers are already licensed by SanDisk. We are also generally indemnified by our suppliers against claims for patent infringement. Additionally, our suppliers have indicated that they will be providing us with USB flash drives with different controllers, which SanDisk has stipulated are not covered by U.S. Patent No. 6,763,424. Therefore, at this time, we do not believe that either of the SanDisk actions will have a material adverse impact on our financial statements.
Note 15 — Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In April 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) FAS 157-4,Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly(FSP FAS 157-4). FSP FAS 157-4 amends SFAS 157 and provides additional guidance for estimating fair value in accordance with SFAS 157 when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased and also includes guidance on identifying circumstances that indicate a transaction is not orderly for fair value measurements. This FSP shall be applied prospectively with retrospective application not permitted. This FSP is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. The adoption of FSP FAS 157-4 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments. This FSP amends SFAS No. 107,Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments(SFAS 107), to require disclosures about fair value of financial instruments not measured on the balance sheet at fair value in interim financial statements as well as in annual financial statements. Prior to this FSP, fair values for these assets and liabilities were only disclosed annually. This FSP applies to all financial instruments within the scope of SFAS 107 and requires all entities to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments. This FSP is effective for interim periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. This FSP does not require disclosures for earlier periods presented for comparative purposes at initial adoption. In periods after initial adoption, this FSP requires comparative disclosures only for periods ending after initial adoption. The adoption of FSP FAS 107-1 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS 165,Subsequent Events(SFAS 165), to require the disclosure of the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated, as well as whether the date is the date the financial statements were issued or the date the financial statements were available to be issued. Further, the statement requires disclosure of the nature of all non-recognized subsequent events and an estimate of the financial effect, or a statement that such an estimate cannot be made. We are required to adopt the new standard effective for all interim and annual periods after June 15, 2009. The adoption of SFAS 165 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS 168,The FASB Accounting Standards Codification ™ and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles — a replacement of FAS No. 162(SFAS 168 or the Codification), as the single authoritative source for accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), replacing the mix of accounting standards that have evolved over the last fifty plus years. While not intended to change GAAP, the Codification significantly changes the way in which accounting literature is organized. It will now be organized by accounting topic, which is intended to enable users to more quickly identify the guidance that applies to a specific accounting issue. The Codification is effective for financial statements that cover interim and annual periods after September 15, 2009. We have determined that the adoption of the Codification will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Imation Corp.:
We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of Imation Corp. and its subsidiaries as of June 30, 2009, and the related condensed consolidated statements of operations for each of the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008. These interim financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.
We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial statements for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
We previously audited in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2008, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ equity and comprehensive income (loss), and of cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated February 27, 2009, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2008, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

Item 2. | Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. |
Overview
Imation Corp. is a Delaware corporation whose primary businesses are (1) the development, manufacturing, sourcing, marketing and distribution of removable data storage media products and accessories and (2) sourcing and distribution of a range of audio and video consumer electronic products and accessories. As used herein, the terms “Imation,” “Company,” “ we,” “us,” or “our” mean Imation Corp. and its subsidiaries unless the context indicates otherwise. We sell our removable data storage media products across multiple technology platforms or “pillars” — magnetic media, recordable optical media, flash drives and removable and external hard drives. We sell our products in approximately 100 countries around the world, primarily under the Imation, Memorex and TDK Life on Record brand names. We also have distribution agreements under which we distribute certain removable data storage media products under other brands as well, including International Business Machines Corp., Sun Microsystems Inc., Hewlett Packard Co. and Exabyte. Our consumer electronic products and accessories are sold primarily under the Memorex, TDK Life on Record and XtremeMac brand names, primarily in North America. Except for certain magnetic tape media formats, we do not manufacture the products we sell and distribute. We seek to differentiate these products through unique designs, product positioning, packaging, merchandising, and branding. We source these products from a variety of third party manufacturers.
The global data storage market, including hardware and services, is estimated to be in excess of $100 billion, of which the removable data storage media market is approximately $20 billion, including magnetic and optical media, flash and solid state drives, removable and external hard disk drives. Our removable data storage media products are designed to help users capture, create, protect, preserve and retrieve valuable digital assets. Our primary products include recordable and rewritable optical discs, magnetic tape cartridges, USB flash drives, and external and removable hard drives used by business and individual customers.
Demand for data storage capacity is expected to grow slowly for the next several years, driven by the growth of information in digital form, the growth of complex databases as a result of new hardware and software applications, increased ability to access data remotely and across multiple locations, increased regulatory requirements for record retention and the pervasive use of the Internet. This increased quantity of data has put data security and archiving at the forefront of critical business processes. Further, the continued growth in the variety and functionality of consumer electronic devices has historically increased demand for a range of convenient, low-cost removable data storage media to capture, store, edit and manage data, photographs, video, images and music. Within the data storage media industry, the magnetic tape market remains important to Imation across a substantial installed base of commercial information technology users, a relatively small number of competitors and high barriers to entry. Imation enjoys a leading market share, significant intellectual property portfolio, solid industry reputation and relationships among key original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). Many of our legacy tape formats, which are proprietary or semi-proprietary, have the highest gross profit margins among all our products.
We also participate in the audio and video and accessories marketplace of the much larger consumer electronics market. Our consumer electronics market includes traditional analog-based audio and video devices as well as digital-based audio and video hardware and accessories for recording and replaying audio and video content. Our accessories portion of the market includes cases, cleaning and labeling products, cables and connectors sold through retail outlets and distribution channels. Both consumer electronic products and accessories are primarily sourced from manufacturers throughout Asia. Consumer electronic products are sold based on a variety of factors, including brand and reputation, product features and designs, distribution coverage, innovation and price.
The global consumer electronics market is a very large and highly diverse market in terms of competitors, channels and products. Our current product offerings focus on a subset of this market. Products we sell include CD and DVD players, LCD displays (flat panel televisions and digital picture frames), iPod® accessories, MP3 players, karaoke machines, and alarm clocks and clock-radios sold primarily under the Memorex brand name. We compete primarily in mass merchant channels for second tier brand preference in the United States and are expanding into Canada, Mexico and Europe with the Memorex brand, targeting female consumers, and the XtremeMac brand, targeting the Apple enthusiast.
The significant and rapid downturn in the global economy has negatively affected demand for both our commercial and consumer product lines, and is impacting suppliers, distributors and channel partners. We have seen softness in the markets we participated in during 2008 and we have planned for these trends to continue throughout 2009.

Our worldwide revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2009 compared with the same period last year, was negatively impacted by overall price erosion of 11 percent, volume declines of 7 percent and unfavorable foreign currency translation of 4 percent. The continuing soft economy, particularly given our exposure to the financial sector, and the nature of the mature markets of some of our legacy tape products resulted in revenue declines in optical products of $57.1 million, magnetic products of $51.8 million, flash products of $7.0 million and electronic products, accessories and other products of $3.2 million.

A litigation settlement charge of $49.0 million was recorded for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2009. We entered into a confidential settlement agreement ending all legal disputes with Philips Electronics N.V., U.S. Philips Corporation and North American Philips Corporation (collectively, Philips). We have been involved in a complex series of disputes in multiple jurisdictions regarding cross-licensing and patent infringement related to recordable optical media. The settlement provides resolution of all claims and counterclaims filed by the parties without any finding or admission of liability or wrongdoing by any party. As a term of the settlement, we will pay Philips $53 million over a period of three years. As a result of the settlement, we recorded a charge in the second quarter of 2009, based on the present value of these payments, of $49.0 million. The pre-tax cash impact for 2009 will be approximately $16.5 million, occurring during the second half of this year.

We also recorded $2.3 and $7.6 million of restructuring charges for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2009, respectively, mainly related to our 2008 corporate redesign restructuring program initiated during the fourth quarter of 2008. This program further accelerates the alignment of our cost structure by reducing SG&A expense. See Note 9 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements herein.

The increase in other expense for the three months ended June 30, 2009, compared with the same period last year, was driven by additional foreign currency losses of $0.8 million offset by lower interest income of $0.5 million.
The increase in other expense for the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared with the same period last year, was driven by a reserve of $4.0 million related to a note receivable from one of our commercial partners whose financial condition had significantly deteriorated, as well as additional foreign currency exchange losses of $3.1 million and lower interest income of $1.2 million.

Table of Contents
Our Data Storage Media business is organized, managed and internally and externally reported as segments differentiated by the regional markets we serve: Americas, Europe and Asia Pacific. Each of these segments has responsibility for selling virtually all Imation product lines. Consumer electronic products are sold primarily through our Electronic Products segment. The Electronic Products segment is currently focused primarily in North America and primarily under the Memorex brand name.
We evaluate segment performance based on revenue and operating income. Revenue for each segment is generally based on customer location where the product is shipped. The operating income reported in our segments excludes corporate and other unallocated amounts. Although such amounts are excluded from the business segment results, they are included in reported consolidated earnings. Corporate and unallocated amounts include research and development costs, corporate expense, stock-based compensation expense and restructuring and other costs which are not allocated to the segments.

The Americas segment is our largest segment comprising 39.6 percent of our total revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 38.2 percent of our total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2009. Our revenue decrease for the three months ended June 30, 2009, compared with the same period last year, was mainly due to price declines of approximately 12 percent partly offset by volume increases of approximately 2 percent. From a product perspective, we experienced revenue declines primarily in magnetic, consumer electronics and flash products offset by an increase in optical. Our revenue decrease for the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared with the same period last year, was mainly due to price declines of approximately 11 percent and volume declines of approximately 8 percent. From a product perspective, we experienced revenue declines in all products except hard disk drives.
The decrease in operating income as a percentage of revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2009, compared with the same period last year, was driven by lower gross profit in magnetic and consumer electronic products partly offset by higher gross profit in optical and lower SG&A expense.

Our revenue decrease for the three months ended June 30, 2009, compared with the same period last year, was due to overall volume decreases of approximately 20 percent, unfavorable foreign currency impacts of approximately 9 percent and price declines of approximately 7 percent. From a product perspective, we experienced revenue declines in all products except consumer electronics. Our revenue decrease for the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared with the same period last year, was due to volume declines of approximately 16 percent, unfavorable foreign currency impacts of approximately 8 percent and price declines of approximately 6 percent. From a product perspective, we experienced revenue declines in all products except consumer electronics and hard disk drives. We anticipate that our GDM joint venture will be wound down by the end of 2009 as a result of the litigation settlement previously discussed. This joint venture contributed $27.8 million and $50.5 million of revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and $57.5 million and $86.6 million of revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

The Electronic Products segment comprised 11.1 percent of our total revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 9.2 percent of our total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2009. The decline in revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2009, compared with the same period last year, was driven primarily by decreased video product sales. The decrease in revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared with the same period last year, was driven primarily by decreased video product sales partly offset by increased audio product sales.
The change in the Electronic Products segment’s operating (loss) income as a percentage of revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2009, compared with the same period last year, was driven mainly by lower gross profit in video products. The increase in the Electronic Products segment’s operating loss as a percentage of revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared with the same period last year, was driven by mainly by lower gross profit in video products and inventory charges associated with excess inventory.

Impact of Changes in Foreign Currency Rates
We have a market presence in more than 100 countries and we sell products on a local currency basis through a variety of distribution channels. We source optical, flash and other finished goods from manufacturers located primarily in Asia, although much of this sourcing is on a U.S. dollar basis. Further, we produce a significant portion of our magnetic tape products in our own manufacturing facilities in the United States. Comparisons of revenue and gross profit from foreign countries are subject to various fluctuations due to the impact of translating results at differing exchange rates in different periods.
Changes in foreign currency exchange rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 negatively impacted worldwide revenue by 4.2 and 4.3 percent, respectively, compared with the same periods last year. The impact on profit is more difficult to determine due to the influence of other factors that we believe are also impacted by currency rate changes.
Our foreign currency hedging program attempts to manage some of the foreign currency risks over near term periods; however, these risk management activities cannot ensure that the program will offset more than a portion of the adverse financial impact resulting from unfavorable movements in foreign exchange rates or that medium and longer term effects of exchange rates will not be significant (see Part 1, Item 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk in this Form 10-Q).
Financial Position
Our cash and cash equivalents balance as of June 30, 2009 was $89.2 million, a decrease of $7.4 million from $96.6 million as of December 31, 2008. The decrease was primarily due to capital expenditures of $7.2 million, debt issuance costs of $2.9 million and the effects of exchange rates on cash of $4.4 million, partly offset by operating cash inflows of $6.3 million.
Accounts receivable days sales outstanding was 65 days as of June 30, 2009, up 2 days from December 31, 2008. Days sales outstanding is calculated using the count-back method, which calculates the number of days of most recent revenue that is reflected in the net accounts receivable balance.
Days of inventory supply was 80 days as of June 30, 2009, down 2 days from December 31, 2008. Days of inventory supply is calculated using the current period inventory balance divided by the average of the inventoriable portion of cost of goods sold for the previous 12 months, expressed in days.
Our other current assets balance as of June 30, 2009 was $161.7 million, an increase of $23.6 million from $138.1 million as of December 31, 2008. The increase was mainly due to additional prepaid taxes, higher foreign value added tax assets and higher deferred income tax assets.
Our accounts payable balance as of June 30, 2009 was $234.9 million, a decrease of $61.2 million from $296.1 million as of December 31, 2008. The decrease in accounts payable was due to lower purchasing levels and payments made through June 30, 2009.
Our other liabilities balance as of June 30, 2009 was $98.4 million, an increase of $24.3 million from $74.1 million as of December 31, 2008. The increase was caused by our long-term liability to Philips recorded as a result of our litigation settlement.

On January 28, 2008, the Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program increasing the total outstanding authorization to 3.0 million shares of common stock. The Company’s previous authorization was cancelled with the new authorization. During the three months ended March 30, 2008, we repurchased 0.8 million shares completing the 10b5-1 plan announced in May 2007. As of December 31, 2008, we had repurchased 0.7 million shares under the latest authorization. We did not repurchase shares for the three months ended June 30, 2009. As of June 30, 2009, we held, in total, 5.2 million shares of treasury stock acquired at an average price of $25.1 per share. Authorization for repurchases of an additional 2.3 million shares remained outstanding as of June 30, 2009.
On January 30, 2009, our Board of Directors suspended the quarterly cash dividend. We paid a cash dividend of $0.16 per share, or $6.0 million, for the first quarter of 2008 and $0.16 per share, or $6.0 million, during the second quarter of 2008.
On March 30, 2006, we entered into a credit agreement (the Credit Agreement) with a group of banks that were party to our prior credit agreement, extending the expiration date from December 15, 2006 to March 29, 2011. The Credit Agreement was most recently amended on June 3, 2009 to provide a more consistent amount of availability under the credit agreement, accomplished in part by changing the form of the credit facility such that the availability is now based on the value of certain assets and generally removing limitations to availability based on income levels. In addition, we have decreased the overall size of the facility. Specifically, Imation Corp. and Imation Enterprises Corp. (collectively, the “Borrowers” or “we,” “us” or “our”) entered into a Third Amendment to Credit Agreement (the “Third Amendment”) with a consortium of lenders (the “Lenders”) and Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent and L/C Issuer (the “Agent”). The Third Amendment amended our Credit Agreement dated as of March 29, 2006 (as amended by the Amendment to Credit Agreement dated as of July 24, 2007 and the Second Amendment to Credit Agreement dated April 25, 2008) among the Borrowers, the Agent and the other Lenders (collectively the “Credit Agreement”). The Third Amendment results in a reduction of the senior revolving credit facility to an amount up to $200,000,000 (the “Credit Facility”), including a $75,000,000 sub-limit for letters of credit, that we may use (i) to pay fees, commissions and expenses in connection with the Credit Facility and (ii) for ongoing working capital requirements, capital expenditures and other general corporate purposes. Pricing has also been adjusted as the result of the Third Amendment. Through December 31, 2009, borrowings under the Credit Agreement will bear interest at a rate equal to (i) the Eurodollar Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus 3.50% or (ii) the Base Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus 2.50%. Commencing January 1, 2010, the applicable margins for the Eurodollar Rate and the Base Rate will be subject to adjustments based on average daily Availability (as defined in the Credit Agreement), as set forth in the definition of “Applicable Rate” in the Credit Agreement. Advances under the Credit Facility are limited to the lesser of (a) $200,000,000 and (b) the “Borrowing Base.” The Borrowing Base is equal to the following:
• | up to 85% of eligible accounts receivable; plus | ||
• | up to the lesser of 65% of eligible inventory or 85% of the appraised net orderly liquidation value of eligible inventory; plus | ||
• | up to 60% of the appraised fair market value of eligible real estate at closing (the “Original Real Estate Value”), such Original Real Estate Value to be reduced each calendar month by 1/84th, provided, that the Original Real Estate Value shall not exceed $40,000,000; plus | ||
• | such other classes of collateral as may be mutually agreed upon and at advance rates as may be determined by the Agent; minus | ||
• | such reserves as the Agent may establish in good faith. |
The Credit Agreement expires on March 29, 2012, and contains covenants which are customary for similar credit arrangements, including covenants relating to financial reporting and notification; payment of indebtedness, taxes and other obligations; and compliance with applicable laws and limitations regarding additional liens, indebtedness, certain acquisitions, investments and dispositions of assets. The Credit Agreement also contains a conditional financial covenant that requires us to have a Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of not less than 1.20 to 1.00 during certain periods described in the Credit Agreement. Imation Corp. was in compliance with all covenants it was required to be in compliance with as of June 3, 2009. Our obligations under the Credit Agreement continue to be guaranteed by the material domestic subsidiaries of Imation Corp. (the “Guarantors”) and, by virtue of the Third Amendment, are now secured by a first priority lien (subject to customary exceptions) on the real property comprising Imation Corp.’s corporate headquarters and all of the personal property of the Borrowers and the Guarantors.
In addition, certain international subsidiaries have borrowing arrangements locally outside of the Credit Agreement discussed above. As of June 30, 2009, there were no borrowings outstanding under such arrangements.

Our remaining liquidity needs for 2009 include the following: net litigation settlement payments of $16.5 million, capital expenditures of approximately $8 million, restructuring payments of approximately $10 million related to the remaining accrual for restructuring programs implemented in 2007 and 2008, pension funding of approximately $3 million to $8 million, operating lease payments of approximately $4 million, and any additional amounts associated with TDK post-closing purchase price adjustment for previously unfiled European value added tax returns. We expect that cash and cash equivalents, together with cash flow from operations and availability of borrowings under our current sources of financing, will provide liquidity sufficient to meet these needs and for our operations.
There can be no assurance, however, that we will continue to generate cash flow at current levels and the current disruption in the global financial markets may negatively impact our ability to access the capital markets under current and future sources of financing in a timely manner and on attractive terms.
Other than operating lease commitments, we are not using off-balance sheet arrangements, including special purpose entities, nor do we have any contractual obligations or commercial commitments with terms greater than one year that would significantly impact our liquidity.
Contractual Obligations

Such statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results in the future to differ materially from our historical results and those presently anticipated or projected. We wish to caution investors not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements. Any forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which such statements are made, and we undertake no obligation to update such statements to reflect events or circumstances arising after such date. Risk factors include continuing uncertainty in global and regional economic conditions; the volatility of the markets in which we operate; the future financial and operating performance of major customers and industries served, our ability to successfully implement our strategy; our ability to successfully defend our intellectual property rights; the possibility that our goodwill, deferred tax assets, or other assets may become further impaired; the rate of revenue decline for certain existing products; the competitive pricing environment and its possible impact on profitability and inventory valuations; our ability to meet our revenue growth and cost reduction targets; our ability to successfully integrate our acquisitions and achieve the anticipated benefits, including synergies, in a timely manner; our ability to continue realizing the benefits from our global manufacturing strategy for magnetic data storage products and the related restructuring; our ability to introduce new offerings in a timely manner either independently or in association with OEMs or other third parties; our ability to efficiently source, warehouse and distribute our products globally; our ability to secure and maintain adequate shelf and display space over time at retailers which conduct semi-annual or annual line reviews; our ability to achieve the expected benefits from our strategic relationships and distribution agreements; foreign currency fluctuations; our ability to secure adequate supply of certain high demand products at acceptable prices; the outcome of any pending or future litigation; the ready availability and price of energy and key raw materials or critical components; our ability to successfully manage multiple brands globally; the market acceptance of newly introduced product and service offerings, as well as various factors set forth in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 and from time to time in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Item 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.
Except for the paragraphs noted below, there has been no material change since our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008. For further information, see Item 7A.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Riskincluded in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.
As of June 30, 2009, we had $420.1 million notional amount of foreign currency forward and option contracts of which $146.0 million hedged recorded balance sheet exposures. This compares to $595.4 million notional amount of foreign currency forward and option contracts as of December 31, 2008, of which $99.0 million hedged recorded balance sheet exposures. An immediate adverse change of 10 percent in quarter-end foreign currency exchange rates with all other variables (including interest rates) held constant would reduce the fair value of foreign currency contracts outstanding as of June 30, 2009 by $21.1 million.
On July 13, 2009, we entered into a confidential settlement agreement ending all legal disputes with Philips. The settlement provides resolution of all claims and counterclaims filed by the parties without any finding or admission of liability or wrongdoing by any party. As a term of the settlement, we will pay Philips $53 million over a period of three years. See Note 8 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 herein for further information.
Item 4.Controls and Procedures.
Based on an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act)) as of June 30, 2009, the end of the period covered by this report, the Vice Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Frank P. Russomanno, and the Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, Paul R. Zeller, have concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
During the quarter ended June 30, 2009, there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1.Legal Proceedings.
In the normal course of business, we periodically enter into agreements that incorporate general indemnification language. Performance under these indemnities would generally be triggered by a breach of terms of the contract or by a third-party claim. There have historically been no material losses related to such indemnifications. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 5,Accounting for Contingencies, we record a liability in our consolidated financial statements for these actions when a loss is known or considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated.
We are the subject of various pending or threatened legal actions in the ordinary course of our business. All such matters are subject to many uncertainties and outcomes that are not predictable with assurance. Consequently, as of June 30, 2009, we are unable to ascertain the ultimate aggregate amount of any monetary liability or financial impact that we may incur with respect to these matters. While these matters could materially affect operating results depending upon the final resolution in future periods, it is our opinion that after final disposition, any monetary liability beyond that provided in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2009, would not be material to our financial position.
Philips
Imation filed a Declaratory Judgment Action on October 27, 2006, in Federal District Court in St. Paul, Minnesota requesting that the court resolve an ongoing dispute with Philips Electronics N.V., U.S. Philips Corporation and North American Philips Corporation (collectively, Philips). Philips had asserted that (1) the patent cross-license between 3M Company and Philips was not validly assigned to Imation in connection with the spin-off of Imation from 3M Company in 1996; (2) Imation’s 51 percent owned subsidiary, Global Data Media (GDM), was not a “subsidiary” as defined in the cross-license; (3) the coverage of the cross-license did not apply to Imation’s acquisition of Memorex; (4) the cross-license did not apply to DVD discs; (5) certain Philips patents that were not covered by the cross-license were infringed by Imation; and (6) as a result, Imation owed Philips royalties for the prior and future sales of CD and DVD discs. We believed that these allegations were without merit and filed a Declaratory Judgment Action to have a court reaffirm Imation’s rights under the cross-license. On February 26, 2007, the parties signed a Standstill Agreement and the litigation was voluntarily dismissed without prejudice. Imation and Philips held settlement negotiations but were unable to come to an agreement. Imation re-filed its Declaratory Judgment Action on August 10, 2007. Philips filed its Answer and Counterclaims against Imation and Moser Baer India Ltd. (MBI), Imation’s partner in GDM. Philips alleged that (1) the cross-license did not apply to companies that Imation purchased or created after March 1, 2000; (2) GDM was not a legitimate subsidiary of Imation; (3) Imation’s formation of GDM was a breach of the cross-license resulting in termination of the cross-license at that time; (4) Imation (including Memorex and GDM) infringed various patents that would otherwise have been licensed under the cross-license; and (5) Imation (including Memorex and GDM) infringed one or more patents that were not covered by the cross-license. Philips originally claimed damages of $655 million plus interest and costs, as well as a claim requesting a trebling of that amount. Imation was aware of these claims prior to filing its Declaratory Judgment Action.
On October 30, 2007, Imation filed its answers to Philips’ counterclaims and a Motion for Partial Summary Judgment on the issue of whether the patent cross-license was validly assigned by 3M Company to Imation. Philips did not contest Imation’s Motion and on November 26, 2007, the parties filed a stipulation affirming that the cross-license was validly assigned to Imation.
On April 7, 2008, Philips amended its counterclaims to (1) add claims that DVD discs sold by Imation infringed its patents, and (2) withdrew its specific claim of $655 million in damages in favor of the more general “damages in an amount to be proved at trial.”
On May 27, 2008, Philips filed a Motion for Judgment on the Pleadings that the cross-license did not apply to subsidiaries acquired or formed by Imation after March 1, 2000. Under this interpretation, the license would not have applied to GDM or Memorex Products, Inc. Imation disagreed with this interpretation.
The parties held court ordered settlement discussions from June through September 2008, however, no agreement was reached during that time.
On October 1, 2008, Imation filed a Motion for Leave to amend its Complaint. On November 18, 2008, the Magistrate Judge denied Imation’s Motion. Imation filed its Objection to the Magistrate Judge’s Order and on February 2, 2009, the Court affirmed the Magistrate Judge’s decision.

On November 26, 2008, the Court issued a decision granting Philips’ Motion for Judgment on the pleadings relating to subsidiaries formed after March 1, 2000. Following this ruling, Imation and MBI filed a Motion for the Court to certify the ruling on this issue as final under FRCP 54(b) allowing for an interlocutory appeal to the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. The Court granted this Motion on January 21, 2009 and on January 23, 2009, Imation filed its Notice of Appeal with the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. Oral argument before the Court of Appeals was held on June 2, 2009.
On December 1, 2008, MBI filed two patent-related Summary Judgment Motions. A hearing on these Motions was held on January 16, 2009. These motions were denied in February and March 2009.
A hearing took place May 4 and May 5, 2009 during which the court considered evidence from the parties on the appropriate meanings of relevant words used in the patent claims.
On July 13, 2009, we entered into a confidential settlement agreement ending all legal disputes with Philips. The settlement provides resolution of all claims and counterclaims filed by the parties without any finding or admission of liability or wrongdoing by any party. As a term of the settlement, we will pay Philips $53 million over a period of three years. As a result of the settlement, we recorded a charge, based on the present value of these payments, of approximately $49 million or $0.81 per share in the second quarter of 2009. The discount rate applied in the calculation of present value is comparable to our 3-year corporate borrowing rate in an arm’s length transaction.
Although we were not a party to this lawsuit, on August 15, 2007, Philips initiated a lawsuit against MBI in The Hague, Netherlands, based on MBI’s optical license agreements with Philips. MBI had made a claim for indemnification of its legal expenses and potential liabilities for damages that were and are being incurred with respect to this claim as well as the US litigation described above. We entered into an agreement with Moser Baer which fully satisfies our obligation to indemnify MBI for any and all reasonable legal expenses incurred regarding the MBI indemnification.
SanDisk
On October 24, 2007, SanDisk Corporation (SanDisk) filed a patent infringement action in U.S. District Court, Western District of Wisconsin, against Imation and its subsidiaries, Imation Enterprises Corp. and Memorex Products, Inc. The lawsuit also names over twenty other companies as defendants. This action alleges that we have infringed five patents held by SanDisk: US Patent 6,426,893; 6,763,424; 5,719,808; 6,947,332 and 7,137,011. SanDisk alleges that our sale of various flash memory products, such as USB flash drives and certain flash card formats, infringes these patents and is seeking damages for prior sales, and an injunction and/or royalties on future sales. This action has been stayed pending resolution of the related case described below.
Also on October 24, 2007, SanDisk filed a complaint with the United States International Trade Commission (ITC) against the same Imation entities listed above, as well as over twenty other companies. This action involves the same patents and the same products as described above and SanDisk is seeking an order from the ITC blocking the defendants’ importation of these products into the United States.
The ITC hearing was held October 27, 2008 through November 4, 2008. Prior to the hearing, SanDisk affirmatively withdrew three of the five patents (US Nos. 6,426,893; 5,719,808; and 6,947,332) from the case. On April 10, 2009, the Administrative Law Judge issued his Initial Determination that the asserted patent claim of U.S. Patent No. 7,137,011 was invalid and not infringed and also finding that U.S. Patent No. 6,673,424 was not infringed. SanDisk filed a Petition for Review on May 4, 2009 to ask the ITC to review the Initial Determination. The ITC is expected to rule on SanDisk’s Petition for Review by October 23, 2009.
Some of our suppliers are already licensed by SanDisk. We are also generally indemnified by our suppliers against claims for patent infringement. Additionally, our suppliers have indicated that they will be providing us with USB flash drives with different controllers, which SanDisk has stipulated are not covered by U.S. Patent No. 6,763,424.
