Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation – The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of ZAGG Incorporated (collectively, the “Company” or “ZAGG”) have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the following disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The Company suggests that these condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
These condensed financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) that, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the financial position and results of operations of the Company for the periods presented.
Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2009, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2009.
Nature of Operations – The Company designs, manufactures and distributes protective coverings, audio accessories and power solutions for consumer electronic and hand-held devices under the brand names invisibleSHIELD™ and ZAGGaudio™.
Principles of Consolidation – The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of ZAGG Incorporated, and its wholly owned subsidiary ZAGG Europe Ltd. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Revenue recognition – The Company follows the guidance of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Staff Accounting Bulletin 104 for revenue recognition. In general, the Company records revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists or product delivery has occurred, the sales price to the customer is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. The Company’s revenue is derived from sales of its products to retailers, resellers and end consumers and from the sale of distributor license fees. For sales of product, the Company records revenue when the product is shipped, net of estimated returns and discounts. For license fees, the Company recognizes revenue on a prorated basis over the life of the distribution contract.
The Company follows the guidance of Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue 01-9 “Accounting for Consideration Given by a Vendor to a Customer” and (EITF) Issue 02-16 “Accounting by a Customer (Including a Reseller) for Certain Considerations Received from Vendors.” Accordingly, any incentives received from vendors are recognized as a reduction of the cost of products. Promotional products given to customers or potential customers are recognized as a cost of sales. Cash incentives provided to our customers are recognized as a reduction of the related sale price, and, therefore, are a reduction in sales.
Reserve for Sales Returns and Warranty Liability – The Company’s return policy generally allows its end users and retailers to return purchased products for refund or in exchange for new products within 30 days of end user purchase. The Company estimates a reserve for sales returns and records that reserve amount as a reduction of sales and as a sales return reserve liability. The sales return liability was $533,017 at March 31, 2009 and $291,119 at December 31, 2008.
The Company generally provides the ultimate consumer a warranty with each product and accrues warranty expense at the time of the sale based on the Company’s prior claims history. Actual warranty costs incurred are charged against the accrual when paid. During the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, warranty expense and the reserve for warranty liability, respectively, was not material.

Shipping and Handling Costs – Amounts invoiced to customers for shipping and handlings are included in sales and were $343,707 and $216,129 for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Actual shipping and handling costs to ship products to customers are included in cost of sales and were $1,239,637 and $275,496 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
Stock-based compensation –Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), Share Based Payment (“SFAS No. 123R”). SFAS No. 123R establishes the financial accounting and reporting standards for stock-based compensation plans. As required by SFAS No. 123R, the Company recognizes the cost resulting from all stock-based payment transactions including shares issued under its stock option plans in the financial statements based upon the fair value of such equity instruments granted. For the three months ended March 31, 2009, the Company recognized stock-based compensation expense of $107,634, related to the issuance of common stock and options issued under its stock incentive plan.
Advertising – Advertising is expensed as incurred. Advertising expenses were $1,454,871 and $790,022 for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
Net (Loss) Income Per Common Share – Basic net (loss) income per share is computed by dividing net (loss) income by weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. Diluted net (loss) income per share is computed by dividing net (loss) income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock, common stock equivalents and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during each period.
The following is a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used to calculate Basic and Diluted EPS:
| | Net Income (Loss) | | Weighted Average Shares | | Per Share Amount | |
Three months ended March 31, 2009: | | | | | | | | | |
Basic EPS | | $ | 1,028,240 | | 19,185,642 | | | $ | 0.05 | | |
Effect of common stock equivalents | | — | | 683,798 | | | | | |
Diluted EPS | | $ | 1,028,240 | | 19,869,440 | | | $ | 0.05 | | |
Three months ended March 31, 2008: | | | | | | | | | |
Basic EPS | | $ | (114,171) | | 18,863,885 | | | $ | (0.01) | | |
Effect of common stock equivalents | | — | | — | | | | | |
Diluted EPS | | $ | (114,171) | | 18,863,885 | | | $ | (0.01) | | |
The calculation above for the three months ended March 31, 2008 excludes the exercise of the 4,249,453 outstanding warrants and 507,000 outstanding stock options as the exercise of these warrants and stock options would have an anti-dilutive effect on earnings per share. There were no potentially issuable shares with an anti-dilutive effect on earnings per share at March 31, 2009.

NOTE 5 – INTANGIBLE ASSETS
At March 31, 2009, intangible assets consist of legal fees paid in connection with the Company’s patent application and amounts paid to secure the Company’s Internet addresses. The costs relating to the definite-lived intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives using straight-line amortization. The useful life for Internet addresses is 10 years. As of March 31, 2009, the patent had not been granted. Accordingly, the Company has not begun to amortize the patent costs and will begin amortizing the patent over the legal life of the patent when the patent is granted.
The Company has contractual rights customary in the industry to use its Internet addresses. However, the Company does not have and cannot acquire any property rights to the Internet addresses. The Company does not expect to lose its rights to use the Internet addresses; however, there can be no assurance in this regard and such loss could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

NOTE 7 – NOTES RECEIVABLE
On March 11, 2008 ZAGG Incorporated entered into an agreement to fund a bridge loan (the “Bridge Loan”) of up to $500,000 to Brighton Partners, LLC. The purpose of the secured loan is to fund the development of a superhero series created by Stan Lee and POW! Entertainment, Inc. in partnership with Brighton Partners, LLC, with the hope that ZAGG will benefit from the marketing exposure and any intellectual property created using ZAGG’s trademarks.

ITEM 2. | MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS |
Certain statements, other than purely historical information, including estimates, projections, statements relating to our business plans, objectives, and expected operating results, and the assumptions upon which those statements are based, are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These forward-looking statements generally are identified by the words “believes,” “project,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “intends,” “strategy,” “plan,” “may,” “will,” “would,” “will be,” “will continue,” “will likely result,” and similar expressions. We intend such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe-harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and are including this statement for purposes of complying with those safe-harbor provisions. Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and assumptions that are subject to risks and uncertainties which may cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements. Our ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain. Factors which could have a material adverse affect on our operations and future prospects include, but are not limited to: changes in economic conditions, legislative/regulatory changes, availability of capital, interest rates, competition, and generally accepted accounting principles. These risks and uncertainties should also be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. We undertake no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Further information concerning our business, including additional factors that could materially affect our financial results, is included herein and in our other filings with the SEC.
Our Business
Headquartered in Salt Lake City, Utah, ZAGG Incorporated designs, manufactures and distribute protective coverings, audio accessories and power solutions for consumer electronic and hand-held devices under the brand names invisibleSHIELD™ and ZAGGaudio™.
Our flagship product, invisibleSHIELD, is made from a protective, film covering that was developed originally to protect the leading edges of rotary blades of military helicopters. We determined that this same film product could be configured to fit onto the surface of electronic devices and marketed to consumers for use in protecting such devices from everyday wear and tear; including scratches, scrapes, debris and other surface blemishes. The film also permits touch sensitivity, meaning it can be used on devices that have a touch-screen interface. The invisibleSHIELD film material is highly reliable and durable since it was originally developed for use in a high friction, high velocity context within the aerospace industry. The film provides long lasting protection for the surface of electronic devices subject to normal wear and tear. The film is a form of polyurethane substance, akin to a very thin, pliable, flexible and durable clear plastic that adheres to the surface and shape of the object it is applied to.
The invisibleSHIELD is designed specifically for iPods®, laptops, cell phones, digital cameras, PDAs, watch faces, GPS systems, gaming devices, and other items. The product is “cut” to fit specific devices and packaged together with a moisture activating solution which makes the invisibleSHIELD adhere to the surface of the device, literally “like a second skin,” and virtually invisible to the eye. The patent-pending invisibleSHIELD is the first scratch protection solution of its kind on the market. The invisibleSHIELD is not ornamental, but rather provides a long lasting barrier to preserve the brand new look of the surface of an electronic device. Currently, ZAGG offers over 3,000 precision pre-cut designs with a lifetime replacement warranty through online channels, big-box retailers, electronics specialty stores, resellers, college bookstores, Mac stores, and mall kiosks. We plan to increase our product lines to offer new electronic accessories to our tech-savvy customer base, as well as an expanded array of invisibleSHIELD products for other industries.
The ZAGGaudio line of electronics accessories and products was released in late 2008, and focuses on innovation and superior value. The flagship product within ZAGGaudio is the award winning, Z.buds™. Other headphone, speaker and audio products have been released and we will release additional products in the ZAGGaudio line in the coming months and years.
We maintain our corporate offices and operational facility at 3855 South 500 West, Suites B, C, J and R, Salt Lake City, Utah, 84115. The telephone number of the Company is 801-263-0699. Our website address is www.ZAGG.com.
Critical Accounting Policies
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S. GAAP). The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Significant estimates include the allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory valuation allowances, sales returns and warranty liability, the useful life of property and equipment and the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets.
Revenue recognition
We follow the guidance of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Staff Accounting Bulletin 104 for revenue recognition. In general, we record revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists or product delivery has occurred, the sales price to the customer is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. Our revenue is derived from sales of our products to retailers, resellers and end consumers and from the sale of distributor license fees. For sales of product, we record revenue when the product is shipped, net of estimated returns and discounts. For license fees, we recognize revenue on a prorated basis over the life of the distribution contract.
We follow the guidance of Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue 01-9 “Accounting for Consideration Given by a Vendor to a Customer” and (EITF) Issue 02-16 “Accounting by a Customer (Including a Reseller) for Certain Considerations Received from Vendors.” Accordingly, any incentives received from vendors are recognized as a reduction of the cost of products. Promotional products given to customers or potential customers are recognized as a cost of sales. Cash incentives provided to our customers are recognized as a reduction of the related sale price, and, therefore, are a reduction in sales.
Reserve for Sales Returns and Warranty Liability
Our return policy generally allows our end users and retailers to return purchased products for refund or in exchange for new products within 30 days of end user purchase. We estimate a reserve for sales returns and record that reserve amount as a reduction of sales and as a sales return reserve liability.
We generally provide the ultimate consumer a warranty with each product and accrue warranty expense at the time of the sale based on our prior claims history. Actual warranty costs incurred are charged against the accrual when paid.
Results of Operations
THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2009 AND 2008
Net sales
Net sales for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 were $8,090,951 as compared to net sales of $2,845,362 for the quarter ended March 31, 2008, an increase of $5,245,589 or 184%.
The significant increase in product sales is mainly attributed to continued strong sales of our invisibleSHIELD product with approximately 45% of our product being sold through our website to retail customers, 6% being sold through mall carts and kiosks, 45% through wholesale channels and 4% from shipping and handling charges
Cost of sales
Cost of sales includes raw materials, packing materials, shipping and fulfillment costs. For the quarter ended March 31, 2009, cost of sales amounted to $2,895,143 or approximately 36% of net sales as compared to cost of sales of $777,742 or approximately 27% of net sales for quarter ended March 31, 2008. The increase in cost of sales as a percentage of net revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2008 attributable to the overall sales mix shift to wholesale customers which have a lower average selling price than our internet sales which have historically represented a larger percentage of the total sales.
Gross profit
Gross profit for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 was $5,195,808 or approximately 64% of net sales as compared to $2,067,620 or approximately 73% of net sales for the quarter ended March 31, 2008. The decrease in gross profit percentage was again due to the sales mix shift from internet sales to wholesale customers which have a lower average selling price. There are no assurances that we will continue to recognize similar gross profit margins in the future.
Operating expenses
Total operating expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 were $3,591,916, an increase of $1,297,051 from total operating expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 of $2,294,865. The increases are primarily attributable to the following:
| · | For the quarter ended March 31, 2009, salaries and related taxes increased by $123,434 to $837,602 from $714,168 for the quarter ended March 31, 2008. The increase is due to the increase in our staff as we continue to build the people infrastructure to meet the demand for our product. |
| · | For the quarter ended March 31, 2009, marketing, advertising and promotion expenses were $1,454,871, an increase of $664,849 as compared to $790,022 for the quarter ended March 31, 2008. We continue to invest heavily in the development of the invisibleSHIELD brand through internet key word advertising and through traditional print media and radio advertising and through the use of coupons. We expect our marketing and advertising expenses to continue to be a significant expenditure as our revenues increase and expect to spend increased funds on adverting and promotion of our products as well as sales training. During the fiscal year 2009, we intend to continue to expand our marketing efforts related to our products. |
| · | For the quarter ended March 31, 2009, other selling, general and administrative expenses, net of salaries and related taxes described above, were $1,299,443 as compared to $790,675 for the quarter ended March 31, 2008. The increase was attributable to the increase in operations as we implement our business plan and is summarized below: |
| | Three Months Ended March 31, 2009 | | | Three Months Ended March 31, 2008 | |
Professional fees | | $ | 70,066 | | | $ | 49,693 | |

Income (loss) from operations
We reported income from operations of $1,603,892 for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 as compared to loss from operations of ($227,245) for the quarter ended March 31, 2008, an increase of $1,831,137. The increase in income from operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2008 is primarily attributable to our overall increased revenue growth due to increased market penetration and product offerings and the continued expansion of our distribution channels to include additional retail outlets.
Other income (expense)
For the quarter ended March 31, 2009, total other income was $39,606 as compared to other income of $46,074 for the quarter ended March 31, 2008. The decrease is primarily attributed to decreased interest income related to short-term loans and interest earned on our bank balances and a slight increase in interest expense.
Net income
As a result of these factors, we reported net income of $1,028,240 or $0.05 per share for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 as compared to a net loss of ($114,171) or ($0.01) per share for the quarter ended March 31, 2008.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity is the ability of a company to generate funds to support its current and future operations, satisfy its liabilities and otherwise operate on an ongoing basis.
At March 31, 2009, we had a cash balance of $1,028,547.
Our working capital position increased by $1,303,510 to working capital of $6,508,898 at March 31, 2009 from working capital of $5,205,388 at December 31, 2008. This increase in working capital is primarily attributable to the overall increase in current assets of $2,531,343, increased inventories of $1,215,418, increased prepaid expenses and other current assets of $760,911, increased accounts receivable of $673,782, decreased deferred revenue of $183,936, decreased accrued liabilities of $28,368 and decreased notes payable of $5,942, partially offset by increased accounts payable of $675,235, increased deferred tax liabilities of $528,634, and increased sales return liability of $241,898 and decreased cash of $37,105.
Net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2009 was ($123,349) as compared to net cash used in operating activities of ($347,305) for the three months ended March 31, 2008. For the three months ended March 31, 2009, net cash used in operating activities was attributable primarily to increased inventory of $1,215,418, increased prepaid expenses and other current assets of $760,911 and decreased accrued liabilities of $28,368 partially offset by increased accounts payable of $674,860, increased deferred tax liabilities of $615,234, increased sales returns liabilities of $241,898, non-cash expense related to stock based compensation of $126,985, bad debt expense of $60,421 and depreciation and amortization of $52,246.
Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2009 was ($136,480) attributable to the purchase of property and equipment of $136,480.
Net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2009 was $222,724 attributable to proceeds from the exercise of options and warrants of $228,666, partially offset by payments on short-term debt of $5,942.
We reported a net decrease in cash for the three months ended March 31, 2009 of $37,105.
For the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, we generated revenues of $8,090,951 and $2,845,362, respectively and reported net income of $1,028,240 and incurred a net to loss of ($114,171), respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2009, we had negative cash flow from operating activities of ($123,349), negative cash flow from investing activities of ($136,480) and cash flows from financing activities of $222,724. As of March 31, 2009, we had stockholders’ equity of $7,199,558, retained earnings of $2,384,463, working capital of $6,508,898, accounts payable of $2,301,625, deferred licensing revenue of $182,654, accrued wages and wage related expenses of $121,424, notes payable related to equipment financing of $14,281, accrued liabilities of $184,386, deferred income tax liability of $528,634 and sales returns liability of $533,017. Management believes that existing cash, along with cash generated from the collection of accounts receivable and the sale of products will be sufficient to meet the Company’s cash requirements during the next twelve months.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of March 31, 2009, there were no off balance sheet arrangements.
Item 3. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk |
A smaller reporting company is not required to provide the information required by this Item.
Item 4T. | Controls and Procedures |
As of the date of this report, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15b under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Based on their review of our disclosure controls and procedures, they have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting him to material information relating to us that is required to be included in our periodic SEC filings. Further, there were no significant changes in the internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these disclosure controls after the evaluation date and the date of this report. Nor were there any significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in such disclosure controls and procedures requiring corrective actions. As a result, no corrective actions were taken. We have made no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting in the most recent quarterly reporting period that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Internal Controls
Our management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will necessarily prevent all fraud and material error. An internal control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the internal control. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
We are not presently party to any legal proceedings. We are not aware of any pending legal proceeding to which any of our officers, directors, or any beneficial holders of 5% or more of our voting securities are adverse to us or have a material interest adverse to us.
A smaller reporting company is not required to provide the information required by this Item.
