NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. BUSINESS DESCRIPTION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Business Description — Heelys, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company” or “Heelys”) designs, markets and distributes innovative, action sports-inspired products under the HEELYS brand targeted to the youth market. The primary product, HEELYS-wheeled footwear, is patented, dual-purpose footwear that incorporates a stealth removable wheel in the heel. HEELYS are distributed directly to retail stores in the United States and certain European countries, and through international wholesale distributors.
The Company initially incorporated as Heeling, Inc. in Nevada in 2000. The Company was reincorporated in Delaware in August 2006 and changed its name to Heelys, Inc. Through its general and limited partner interests, Heelys, Inc. owns 100% of Heeling Sports Limited, a Texas limited partnership, formed in May 2000.
In February 2008, the Company formed Heeling Sports EMEA SPRL, a Belgium corporation and indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, with offices in Brussels, Belgium, and branch offices in Germany and France, to manage the Company’s European operations.
Basis Of Presentation — Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Information — In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of results of operations for the periods presented have been included in the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company. Such adjustments consist of normal recurring items. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and include the information and notes required by those instructions. The December 31, 2009 condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes included in the Company’s 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Reclassifications — During the fourth quarter of 2009, the Company changed its policy regarding the classification of shipping and handling costs from cost of sales to general and administrative expense. The Company believes this allows for a better analysis of gross profit margin and will more consistently convey the relationship between sales and costs that are directly attributable to the procurement of inventory sold from quarter to quarter. Accordingly, the Company reclassified $493,000 and $1.0 million of shipping and handling costs from cost of sales to general and administrative expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively.
Cash Equivalents — Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments with original maturity dates of three months or less when purchased. Cash equivalents at June 30, 2010 include investments in the Fidelity Money Market Fund ($16.8 million) and certificates of deposit at Bank of Texas ($2.0 million). Cash equivalents at December 31, 2009 include investments in the JPMorgan Prime Money Market Fund ($33,000) and in the Fidelity Money Market Fund ($20.1 million). Investments in the JPMorgan Prime Money Market Fund and in the Fidelity Money Market Fund are valued using observable inputs.
Concentration of Risk — The Company maintains substantially all of its cash and cash equivalents, excluding investments in the Fidelity Money Market Fund, in financial institutions in amounts that exceed federally insured limits. Investments in the Fidelity Money Market Fund are not insured. The Company has not experienced any losses with regards to its cash and cash equivalents and believes it is not exposed to significant credit risk.
The Company invests a portion of its cash in fully insured certificates of deposit and in debt instruments of corporations and municipalities with strong credit ratings.
The Company considers its concentration risk related to accounts receivable to be mitigated by the Company’s credit policy, the significance of outstanding balances owed by each individual customer at any point in time and the geographic dispersion of these customers.
The Company outsources all of its manufacturing to a small number of independent manufacturers. Establishing replacement sources could require significant additional time and expense.
2. INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE
Basic income (loss) per common share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders for the period by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted income (loss) per share reflects the effects of potentially dilutive securities that could share in the income (loss) of the Company. A reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used in the calculation of basic and diluted income (loss) per share is as follows (in thousands):

Stock options to purchase approximately 1.6 million shares of common stock for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively, and stock options to purchase approximately 1.3 million and 1.5 million shares of common stock for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted income (loss) per share because the effect of their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.
3. RECENT ACCOUNTING PROUNCEMENTS
In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2010-06, Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements, to amend the disclosure requirements related to recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. The guidance requires disclosure of transfers of assets and liabilities between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value measurement hierarchy, including the reasons and the timing of the transfers and information on purchases, sales, issuance, and settlements on a gross basis in the reconciliation of the assets and liabilities measured under Level 3 of the fair value measurement hierarchy. This guidance is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2011. There will be no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, cash flows or results of operations as a result of this adoption.

(1) Aggregate fair values for commercial paper and bonds were determined using a third-party pricing service. This third-party pricing service uses the market approach to value these investments (Level 2 fair value hierarchy).
(2) This certificate of deposit is pledged as collateral for a $500,000 revolving credit facility the Company entered into in June 2010.
All investments as of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 are classified as held-to-maturity because the Company has the intent and ability to hold these investments to maturity. Investments in debt securities (commercial paper, municipal bonds and corporate bonds) are reported at cost, adjusted for premiums and discounts that are recognized in interest income, using a method that approximates the effective interest method, over the period to maturity. Unrealized gains and losses are excluded from earnings. The Company considers as current assets those investments which will mature in the next 12 months. The remaining investments are considered non-current.
5. SIGNIFICANT CUSTOMERS
Customers of the Company consist of retail stores in the U.S. and certain European countries, and international wholesale distributors. The customers, individually or considered as a group under common ownership, which accounted for greater than 10% of accounts receivable as of June 30, 2010, or 10% of net sales during the periods reflected, were as follows:
| | Accounts Receivable | | Net Sales | | Net Sales | |
| | June 30, | | December 31, | | Three Months Ended June 30, | | Six Months Ended June 30, | |
| | 2010 | | 2009 | | 2010 | | 2009 | | 2010 | | 2009 | |

7. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Purchase Commitments — The Company had open purchase commitments of $8.6 million at June 30, 2010 for the purchase of inventory.
Revolving Credit Facility — In June 2010, the Company entered into a $500,000 revolving credit facility with a local bank for the purpose of issuing letters of credit. As of June 30, 2010, the Company had executed a letter of credit in the amount of $338,000, to secure payment to one of its foreign manufacturers, leaving $162,000 available to the Company under the revolving credit facility. The Company expects to settle the $338,000 outstanding letter of credit during the third quarter. The revolving credit facility is secured by a $500,000 certificate of deposit.
Legal Proceedings — Due to the nature of the Company’s products, from time to time the Company has to defend against personal injury and product liability claims arising out of personal injuries that allegedly are suffered using the Company’s products. To date, none of these claims has had a material adverse effect on the Company. The Company is also engaged in various claims and legal proceedings relating to intellectual property matters, especially in connection with enforcing the Company’s intellectual property rights against the various third parties importing and selling knockoff products domestically and internationally. Often, such legal proceedings result in counterclaims against the Company that the Company must defend. The Company believes that none of the pending personal injury, product liability or intellectual property legal matters will have a material adverse effect upon the Company’s financial position, cash flows or results of operations. Litigation settlement payments related to intellectual property legal matters (whether received by the Company or paid by the Company) are reported as other income (expense) in the Company’s statement of operations. Legal fees related to intellectual property matters and associated enforcement are included in general and administrative expenses. In April 2010, the Company settled and collected a potential patent and trademark lawsuit, in the Company’s favor, in the amount of $750,000.
8. INCOME TAXES
The statute of limitations remains open for the Company’s consolidated federal income tax returns for the tax years ended December 31, 2006 forward. During 2009, the Company settled a 2006 federal audit which resulted in a net tax refund. The Company’s 2008 tax return is currently being reviewed by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service.
The Company may, from time to time, be assessed interest or penalties by major tax jurisdictions, although any such assessments historically have been minimal and immaterial to the Company’s financial results. In the event the Company had received an assessment for interest and/or penalties, interest has been classified in the financial statements as interest expense and penalties as general and administrative expense.
The Company recognized income tax expense of $295,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010, representing an effective income tax rate of (71.3%), compared to an income tax benefit of $2.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009, representing an effective income tax rate of 46.4%. The effective rate differs from the statutory federal rate of 35% for certain items, such as state and local taxes, non-deductible expenses, domestic operating losses for which no tax benefits have been recognized and foreign taxes at rates other than 35%. The Company operates in multiple jurisdictions and its business is impacted by seasonality which causes variability in the consolidated effective tax rate during the year.
Other than the settlement of certain state taxes during the second quarter there have been no material changes in the Company’s gross unrecognized tax benefits or accrued interest and penalties. During the second quarter liabilities related to uncertain tax positions decreased by approximately $976,000 as a result of the settlement of taxes due to a state in which the Company had previously operated. These liabilities were classified as current liabilities in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009. All other unrecognized tax benefits have been classified as noncurrent liabilities. The Company classifies interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as interest expense and general and administrative expense, respectively.

9. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
Total stockholders’ equity decreased $1.3 million to $80.5 million at June 30, 2010, from $81.7 million at December 31, 2009.

Overview
We are a designer, marketer and distributor of innovative, action sports-inspired products under the HEELYS brand, and we target our products to the youth market. Our primary product, HEELYS-wheeled footwear, is patented, dual-purpose footwear that incorporates a stealth, removable wheel in the heel. HEELYS-wheeled footwear allows the user to seamlessly transition from walking or running to rolling by shifting weight to the heel. Users can transform HEELYS-wheeled footwear into street footwear by removing the wheel. For the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, 99% and 96% of our net sales were derived from the sale of HEELYS-wheeled footwear, respectively. The remainder was derived from the sale of non-wheeled footwear (2009 only) and branded accessories, such as replacement wheels.
The Company initially incorporated as Heeling, Inc. in Nevada in 2000 and then was reincorporated in Delaware in August 2006 and changed its name to Heelys, Inc. Through its general and limited partner interests, Heelys, Inc. owns 100% of Heeling Sports Limited, a Texas limited partnership, formed in May 2000. In February 2008, the Company formed Heeling Sports EMEA SPRL, a Belgium corporation and indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, with offices in Brussels, Belgium, and branch offices in Germany and France, to manage the Company’s European operations. HEELYS-wheeled footwear is distributed directly to retail stores in the United States and certain European countries, and through international wholesale distributors.

Financial Overview — Second Quarter of 2010:
· Domestic net sales decreased $2.7 million, or 55.0%, when compared with the same period last year. This decrease is primarily the result of lower unit sales of our HEELYS-wheeled footwear which we believe may be attributable to retail customers being cautious when placing orders and shifting to shorter lead times and at once inventory purchases transferring inventory risk to us. During the three months ended June 30, 2009, we sold certain older styles of our footwear to discount retailers in an effort to reduce our excess inventories. Because we believe we can sell any remaining older styles without offering the deep price discounts required for placement, we did not sell product to these retailers during the three months ended June 30, 2010.
· International net sales decreased $881,000, or 11.8%, when compared with the same period last year. This decrease is primarily the result of lower unit sales of our HEELYS-wheeled footwear. There was a decrease in sales to our independent distributor in Japan as well as a decrease in sales in our German and French markets, where we sell direct to retailers, which we believe is due to over-inventoried positions of our Japanese distributor and German / French retailers. We also experienced a decrease in sales to our independent distributors in certain European countries, which we believe is due to retailers, in these countries, being cautious in their buying due to the weak economy’s impact on their sales.
· Domestic gross profit margin increased primarily as a result of lower material costs and tighter management of our inventory on-hand such that no markdowns of inventory were made during the three months ended June 30, 2010. These decreases in costs were partially offset by lower sales volume.
· International gross profit margin increased primarily due to an increase in the proportion of sales to our direct customers, as well as lower material costs.
· In April 2010, we settled and collected a potential patent and trademark lawsuit, in the Company’s favor, in the amount of $750,000. This settlement is reported as other income.

Domestically, our net sales decreased $2.7 million, or 55.0%, to $2.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010, from $4.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009. This decrease was primarily the result of lower unit sales of our HEELYS-wheeled footwear which decreased by 132,000 pairs, or 60.3%, to 87,000 pairs for the three months ended June 30, 2010, from 219,000 pairs for the three months ended June 30, 2009. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, net sales decreased $3.3 million, or 44.2%, to $4.1 million, from $7.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009. This decrease was primarily the result of lower unit sales of our HEELYS-wheeled footwear which decreased by 151,000 pairs, or 47.3%, to 168,000 pairs for the six months ended June 30, 2010, from 319,000 pairs for the six months ended June 30, 2009. We believe the decrease in unit sales is attributable to our retail customers being cautious when placing orders, the impact of extended inclement weather conditions in certain parts of the United States (resulting in decreased sales during the first quarter) and decreased sales to discount retailers during the second quarter of 2010 when compared to the same period of 2009.

Internationally, our net sales decreased $881,000, or 11.8%, to $6.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010, from $7.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009, and decreased $2.9 million, or 20.5%, to $11.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010, from $14.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009. This decrease was the result of lower unit sales of our HEELYS-wheeled footwear which decreased by 61,000 pairs, or 23.1%, to 203,000 pairs for the three months ended June 30, 2010, from 264,000 pairs for the three months ended June 30, 2009, and decreased by 135,000 pairs, or 29.0%, to 331,000 pairs for the six months ended June 30, 2010, from 466,000 pairs for the six months ended June 30, 2009. Unit sales to distributors decreased 75,000 pairs, or 40.8%, to 109,000 pairs for the three months ended June 30, 2010, from 184,000 pairs for the three months ended June 30, 2009, and decreased 133,000 pairs, or 45.4%, to 161,000 pairs for the six months ended June 30, 2010, from 294,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009. Unit sales to our independent distributor in Japan decreased 45,000 pairs, or 39.5%, to 69,000 pairs for the three months ended June 30, 2010, from 114,000 pairs for the three months ended June 30, 2009, and decreased 66,000 pairs, or 37.9%, to 108,000 pairs for the six months ended June 30, 2010, from 174,000 pairs for the six months ended June 30, 2009. We believe this decrease in sales to our independent distributor in Japan is due to this distributor being in an over-inventoried position as a result of a weak 2009 holiday season. Unit sales in our German and French markets were relatively flat at 78,000 and 80,000 pairs for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and decreased 25,000 pairs, or 14.5%, to 147,000 pairs for the six months ended June 30, 2010, from 172,000 pairs for the six months ended June 30, 2009. These decreases in pairs sold were offset by sales in the Italian market where we began to sell directly to retailers through an independent agent during the fourth quarter of 2009.

Domestically, gross profit margin increased from 22.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2009, to 32.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2010, and increased from 16.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2009, to 31.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2010. These increases in gross profit margin percentages are a result of a higher average price per pair sold as a result of a decrease in sales to discount retailers, a decrease in material costs (due to better sourcing of raw materials as well as change in mix of product sold) and less inventory markdowns. Additionally, during 2009 we incurred expense for the testing of our existing product line for lead paint levels.
Internationally, gross profit margin increased from 39.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2009, to 45.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2010, and increased from 43.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2009, to 49.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The improvement in gross margin for the three months ended June 30, 2010, when compared to the same period last year, is primarily due to an increase in sales to our direct customers in the Italian market (where we sell at a higher average sales price per unit), as well as lower material costs. The improvement in gross margin for the six months ended June 30, 2010, when compared to the same period last year, is primarily due to lower material costs. The decrease in material costs is primarily due to better sourcing of raw materials as well as change in mix of product sold during the periods.

Domestically, selling and marketing expense (excluding commissions and payroll and payroll related expenses) decreased $116,000 to $164,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010, from $280,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2009. This decrease is primarily due to a decrease in consumer advertising and related costs in the amount of $102,000 to $46,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010, from $148,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2009. Consumer advertising and related costs were higher during the second quarter of 2009 mainly as a result of television advertisement. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, selling and marketing expense (excluding commissions

and payroll related expenses) attributable to our domestic operations decreased $174,000, to $346,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010, from $520,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009, as a result of cost reduction efforts and management’s decision to focus advertising and marketing efforts in the third and fourth quarters.
Internationally, selling and marketing expense (excluding commissions and payroll and payroll related expenses) increased $28,000 from $459,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2009, to $487,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010, mainly as a result of increased consumer advertising and other marketing related expenses in the Italian market where we began to sell directly to retailers through an independent agent during the fourth quarter of 2009. Selling and marketing expense (excluding commissions and payroll and payroll related expenses) increased $88,000 from $871,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009, to $959,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010, primarily as a result of increased consumer advertising and other marketing related expenses in our German and French markets, where we sell directly to retailers, and in the Italian market. Consumer advertising and other marketing related expenses, a component of selling and marketing expense, increased $67,000 from $345,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2009, to $412,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2010, and increased $267,000 from $478,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2009, to $745,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2010, primarily as a result of increased television advertising. The increase in marketing related costs was offset by a decrease in selling expenses attributable to overall cost reduction efforts.
Commissions on domestic sales decreased $94,000, or 48.0%, to $102,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010, from $196,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2009, and decreased $162,000, or 46.3%, to $188,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010, from $350,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009. The decrease in commissions is due to the decrease in domestic sales and a higher percentage of lower commissionable sales during the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 when compared to the same period last year.
Internationally, commissions increased $97,000, or 70.3%, from $138,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2009, to $235,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010, and increased $155,000, or 55.4%, from $280,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009, to $435,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010. This increase is primarily due to sales in the Italian market during the three and six months ended June 30, 2010. During the fourth quarter of 2009, we began to sell directly to retailers in the Italian market through an independent agent who is paid commissions on those sales.
Payroll and payroll related costs for our domestic operations decreased $53,000 to $186,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010, from $239,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2009, and decreased $139,000 to $404,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010, from $543,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009. Payroll and payroll related costs attributable to our international operations decreased approximately $123,000 to $253,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010, from $376,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2009, and decreased $202,000 to $501,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010, from $703,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009. These decreases in payroll and payroll related costs are mainly the result of reduction in headcount.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, consolidated general and administrative expenses (excluding unallocated costs) decreased $117,000 and $179,000, when compared to the same periods last year. Consulting and related costs decreased $132,000 to $58,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010, from $190,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2009, and decreased $214,000 to $90,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010, from $304,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009. Consulting and related costs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 included fees paid to our then interim chief executive officer as well as to other individuals for general consulting services. Shipping and handling costs, attributable to our domestic operations, decreased $58,000 to $140,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010, from $198,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2009, and decreased $120,000 to $275,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010, from $395,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009. This decrease is mainly attributable to a reduction in temporary warehousing costs as we reduced our on-hand inventory levels. Shipping and handling costs, attributable to our international operations, increased $48,000 from $301,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2009, to $349,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010, and increased $38,000 from $647,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009, to $685,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010. This increase is mainly attributable to an increase in shipments out of our warehouse in Belgium to our Italian customers.
Insurance costs decreased $31,000 to $121,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010, from $152,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2009, and decreased $73,000 to $216,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010, from $289,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009. The decrease in insurance costs is attributable to a decrease in sales, lower negotiated insurance rates and changes in coverage.

These decreases in costs were offset by an increase in legal fees related to our intellectual property and associated enforcement which increased $88,000 from $249,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2009, to $337,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010, and increased $280,000 from $445,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009, to $725,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010.
Unallocated costs are those costs that are directly attributable to operating as a public company. The decrease in these unallocated costs is mainly the result of management’s cost reduction efforts as well as a decrease in accounting and other professional fees. During the first and second quarters of 2009, we incurred higher accounting and other professional fees due to the structuring of our international operations and related tax issues, documentation and testing of internal controls over financial reporting for our international operations (initial year), additional fees incurred related to the audit of our consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 and for other tax advisory services.

Litigation settlements and related costs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 are primarily related to the class action lawsuit (filed in August 2007), the shareholders’ derivative lawsuit (filed in October 2007) and the individual lawsuit (filed in May 2008) all relating to our initial public offering in December 2006. These lawsuits were settled during the third and fourth quarters of 2009.

Interest income (net of interest expense) increased $40,000 from $65,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2009, to $105,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010, and increased $47,000 from $133,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009, to $180,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010, primarily due to an increase in interest income earned resulting from increased investment activities offset by interest expense accrued on unrecognized tax benefits.
Other income, which is primarily the result of settlements of patent and trademark litigations, increased $727,000 from $24,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2009, to $751,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010, and increased $416,000 from $361,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009, to $777,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010. During the second quarter we settled a potential patent and trademark lawsuit, in the Company’s favor, in the amount of $750,000. Litigation settlement payments related to intellectual property legal matters (whether received by the Company or paid by the Company) are reported as other income (expense). Legal fees related to intellectual property matters and associated enforcement is included in general and administrative expenses.
Gains (losses) resulting from foreign currency transactions are mainly attributable to an intercompany loan due to our U.S. entity from our Belgian entity which must be repaid in U.S. dollars.
Income Taxes
We recognized income tax expense of $174,000 and $295,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, representing an effective income tax rate of 26.9% and (71.3%), respectively; compared to an income tax benefit of $1.3 million and $2.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, representing an effective income tax rate of 44.1% and 46.4%, respectively. Our effective rate differs from the statutory federal rate of 35% for certain items, such as state and local taxes, non-deductible expenses, domestic operating losses for which no tax benefits have been recognized and foreign taxes at rates other than 35%. We operate in multiple jurisdictions and have seasonality in our business which causes variability in our consolidated effective tax rate during the year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our primary cash need is for working capital, which we generally fund with cash flow from operating activities, and may be impacted by fluctuations in demand for our products, investments in our infrastructure and expenditures on marketing and advertising. At June 30, 2010, we had a total of $32.5 million in cash and cash equivalents and $36.6 million in current investments. Our current investments will mature during the next 12 months and include investments in certificates of deposit ($500,000) and debt securities ($36.1 million).
Cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2010 was $3.7 million compared to cash used of $539,000 for the same period last year. Cash flows from operating activities is comprised of net loss adjusted for non-cash items and changes in operating assets and liabilities. Cash provided by changes in operating assets and liabilities for the first six months of 2010 was $3.4 million compared to cash provided of $4.3 million in the same period last year. Net cash provided of $3.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 was primarily due to the collection of a $2.9 million income tax refund and a reduction in accounts receivable of $1.4 million due to timing as well as reduced sales. These amounts were partially offset by the payment of $1.2 million for the settlement of an outstanding state tax liability. We expect to receive another tax refund, approximately $3.1 million, as a result of the carryback of the federal net operating loss for 2009 to 2007. We plan to file our 2009 federal return during the third quarter of 2010 and expect to receive the tax refund related to the loss carryback before year-end. As of June 30, 2010, we have an open purchase commitment of $8.6 million for the purchase of inventory, the majority of which will be settled during the third quarter with the balance settled during the fourth quarter. Our cash flows provided by/used in operating assets/liabilities is subject to seasonality. During the second quarter we settled a potential patent and trademark lawsuit, in the Company’s favor, in the amount of $750,000. We recognize income resulting from the settlement of patent and trademark lawsuits (potential or actual) in other income.
Net cash used in investing activities of $9.9 million, for the six months ended June 30, 2010, relates primarily to purchases of investments of $19.7 million, partially offset by proceeds from investment maturities of $10.0 million.
Cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2010, as well as for the six months ended June 30, 2009, was for payments of our previously acquired goodwill and intangibles associated with the termination of agreements with our former independent distributors in the German and French markets in 2008. As of June 30, 2010, we have outstanding liabilities of $578,000 due to these former independent distributors, $458,000 of which are recorded as a current liability and are expected to be settled during the next 12 months.
We believe our cash flow from operating activities, together with the cash on hand (including cash equivalents) and investments will be sufficient to meet our liquidity needs and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next 12 months.
Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments
As of June 30, 2010, there were no material changes in our contractual obligations as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.
Seasonality
Similar to other vendors of footwear products, sales of our products are subject to seasonality. There are three major buying seasons in footwear: spring/summer, back-to-school and holiday. We offer two primary lines: spring/summer and a combined back-to-school/holiday line. A few new styles will typically be added for the holiday season. Shipments for spring/summer take place during the first quarter and early weeks of the second quarter, shipments for back-to-school generally begin in June and finish in late August and shipments for the holiday season begin in October and finish in early December. Historically, we have experienced greater revenues in the second half of the year than those in the first half due to a concentration of shopping around the back-to-school and holiday seasons.
Vulnerability Due to Customer Concentration / Geographical Concentration
For the three and the six months ended June 30, 2010, Privee AG Corporation accounted for 19.1% and 16.8% of our net sales, respectively, compared to 22.2% and 19.4% of our net sales for the three and the six months ended June 30, 2009. Oxylane Group accounted for 13.4% and 14.4% of our net sales for the three and the six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively, compared to 9.6% and 11.5% of our net sales for the three and the six months ended June 30, 2009. Privee AG Corporation is the Company’s independent distributor in Japan, and Oxylane Group is a French sporting goods retail chain operating under the name Decathlon.
For the three and the six months ended June 30, 2010, our French market accounted for 21.1% and 23.5% of our net sales, respectively, compared to 16.7% and 20.0%, for the three and the six months ended June 30, 2009. Our German market accounted for 14.5% and 17.0% of our net sales for the three and the six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively, compared to 12.1% and 15.5%, for the three and the six months ended June 30, 2009.
No other retail customer or independent distributor accounted for 10% or more of our net sales in either of these periods. We anticipate that our net sales may remain concentrated for the foreseeable future. If any of our significant retail customers or independent distributors decreases its purchases of our products or stops purchasing our products our net sales and results of operations could be adversely affected.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Management has conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a—15(e) and 15d—15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of June 30, 2010. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2010 were effective.
Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. Due to the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the second quarter of 2010 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
Due to the nature of the Company’s products, from time to time the Company has to defend against personal injury and product liability claims arising out of personal injuries that allegedly are suffered using the Company’s products. To date, none of these claims has had a material adverse effect on the Company. The Company is also engaged in various claims and legal proceedings relating to intellectual property matters, especially in connection with enforcing the Company’s intellectual property rights against the various third parties importing and selling knockoff products domestically and internationally. Often, such legal proceedings result in counterclaims against the Company that the Company must defend. The Company believes that none of the pending personal injury, product liability or intellectual property legal matters will have a material adverse effect upon the Company’s financial position, cash flows or results of operations.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
Except as discussed below, there were no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or results of operations.
Because we entered into a sourcing agreement that gives the counterparty the exclusive right to source our HEELYS- wheeled footwear products, we may face challenges in maintaining a sufficient supply of such products to meet demand or experience interruptions in our supply chain. Any shortfall in the supply of such products may decrease our net sales and have an adverse impact on our customer relationships and results of operations.
Our new sourcing agreement, effective May 1, 2010, requires us to source all of our HEELYS-wheeled footwear product through a third party. That third party has the exclusive right to source all of our HEELYS-wheeled footwear product and is responsible for procuring subcontractors to manufacture our products and for paying the subcontractors for the products manufactured for us. Consequently, if our third party sourcing agent engages new manufacturing subcontractors or if our third party sourcing agent or any of its subcontractors close, stop producing merchandise for us or greatly increase prices, it could result in delayed deliveries to our retail customers, could adversely affect our revenue and could require the establishment of new manufacturing relationships, which could require significant additional time and expense.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
