ITEM 1. BUSINESS THE COMPANY Our mission is to provide innovative mobile computing solutions for notebook computer, PDA (personal digital assistant), Pocket PC, Tablet PC, smartphone, and other mobile computing device users. We were founded in 1995 and our early focus was on the development of remote peripheral component interface, or PCI bus, technology and products based on our proprietary Split Bridge(R) technology. We have had some success with Split Bridge(R) in the corporate notebook computer market and will continue to pursue opportunities with both our Split Bridge(R) technology and products. However, early in 2002 we reached a decision to create a broader base of innovative mobile computing solutions by capitalizing on our base of technology, distribution channels and unique products. As a result, we are currently pursuing our mission through the design, development and marketing of products and technologies in four major categories: power products, handheld products, expansion products, and accessory products. Our power products include a combination AC and DC power adapter that can be used to simultaneously charge a notebook computer and a cell phone or PDA in a vehicle, an airplane, a home, or an office; a series of DC to DC or auto/air power adapters; and batteries for notebook computers. Our handheld products include Ethernet and modem cradles for both powering handheld devices and connecting them to the internet; a group of presentation products that allow users to display presentations from their handheld devices; and software products to allow the use of presentation, word processing and spreadsheet programs on handheld devices. Our expansion products include a variety of PCI expansion devices designed to increase the storage capacity and computing capability of notebook or desktop computers. Our accessory products include port replicators based on our Split Bridge(R) technology, monitor stands and a variety of other accessories for the mobile computing device user. We have only one operating business segment, the sale of peripheral computer equipment. During the past three years, our revenues were derived primarily from a mixture of all four of our product categories, as well as some revenues from technology transfer fees. 2 Our major competitive advantage is the development and marketing of unique products that combine proprietary technology with innovative features and capabilities. We offer our solutions through a broad range of distribution channels and we have significant technology and intellectual property in each of our product categories. Our objective is to be the leading provider of a broad range of innovative mobile computing products and technologies. Key elements of our strategy include: Leverage Technological Leadership. We intend to continue to exploit the development and use of our power product technology, expansion technology, CardBus technology, Split Bridge(R) technology and handheld technology and to invest in research and development of appropriate related advanced technologies. We intend to use this technological leadership position to develop and market highly differentiated products. Maximize Penetration in the Mobile Computing Market. We intend to capitalize on our current strategic position in the mobile computing market by continuing to introduce high-technology products that suit the needs of a broad range of users in each of our major product areas. It is our goal to be a market leader in each of the product solution categories in which we will compete, and to offer mobile users unique, innovative solutions that previously did not exist. To effectively leverage our product portfolio, we also intend to actively pursue corporate and product branding initiatives. Establish Licensing and Strategic Partnerships. We have licensed and intend to continue to license our technologies and to enter into strategic alliances in order to realize the market potential of our intellectual property. Broaden Distribution Capabilities Worldwide. We currently sell our products worldwide through distributors, value-added resellers, retailers, the internet, and private label partners. We believe that broadening the distribution of our products through strategic alliances with a variety of companies within the computer and telecommunications industries is a critical element in establishing our technology and products as industry standards. Expand OEM Relationships. We intend to provide a broad range of products for computer and telecommunications original equipment manufacturers, or OEMs, by partnering with OEMs globally. We will also work with both OEMs and other industry partners, such as chip makers and power product technology partners, to design and implement solutions that can meet the integrated requirements of OEMs. Pursue Strategic Acquisitions. We will continue to evaluate opportunities to acquire complementary businesses, technologies and products that can benefit from a broad portfolio of technologies. We also plan to pursue acquisitions that will enable us to offer products and features, in keeping with our mobile computing solutions mission, to better serve our customers or to more fully realize the market potential of our technology base, to more rapidly develop and bring to market advanced technology, to expand distribution capabilities and to penetrate other targeted markets or geographic locations. In October 2000, we acquired all of the assets of Mesa Ridge Technologies, Inc. d/b/a MAGMA, a developer and marketer of PCI expansion products for the computer industry which utilizes traditional PCI bridge technology and MAGMA's patented expansion technology. The acquisition of MAGMA solidified Mobility's position as a market leader in the PCI expansion business by providing products, distribution channels, key customers, and additional resources that can accelerate Mobility's growth and development in this market segment. In February 2002, we acquired Portsmith, Inc., an industry leader in providing connectivity solutions for handheld computing devices. This acquisition provides us with an entrance into the rapidly growing handheld computing device market and reinforces our focus on delivering powerful mobile computing solutions. Portsmith currently provides a range of Ethernet, modem, and other connectivity products for the most popular handheld devices such as Palm, Handspring Visor, Compaq IPAQ, and other 3 mainstream PDA products, and intends to undertake a number of important product development programs that expand on these solutions. In August 2002, we acquired Cutting Edge Software, Inc., a leading developer and marketer of software products for hand held computing devices. Cutting Edge Software currently provides software for integration with certain Portsmith products and also independently markets its products to a broad range of customers. In September 2002, we acquired iGo Corporation (now iGo Direct Corporation), a leading mobile computer solution provider. We have subsequently integrated the iGo operations into our infrastructure. This acquisition provides us with substantial additional North American distribution channels for all our products, certain additional products, and an extensive customer base. We were formed as a limited liability company under the laws of the State of Delaware in May 1995, and were converted to a Delaware corporation by a merger effected in August 1996, in which we were the surviving entity. We changed our name from "Electronics Accessory Specialists International, Inc." to "Mobility Electronics, Inc." on July 23, 1998. Our principal executive offices are located at 17800 North Perimeter Drive, Suite 200, Scottsdale, Arizona 85255, and our telephone number is (480) 596-0061. Unless otherwise indicated in this Report, references to "Mobility," "us," "we" and "our" refer to Mobility Electronics, Inc. and shall include our predecessor, Electronics Accessory Specialists International, L.L.C. INDUSTRY BACKGROUND AND OUR SOLUTIONS MARKET OPPORTUNITY According to IDC, the market for portable computers is expected to grow at a compounded annual growth rate of about 15% from 29.3 million units in 2002 to about 52.0 million units in 2006. According to Dataquest, the market for handheld computing devices is expected to grow at a compounded annual growth rate of about 25% from 12.1 million units in 2002 to about 29.5 million units by 2006. According to In-stat/MDR, the emerging market for smartphone devices is expected to reach approximately 15.8 million units in 2006. Each of these devices, totaling about 97 million units by 2006, represents an opportunity for one or more of Mobility's products. POWER PRODUCTS AND ACCESSORIES A major issue for mobile computing device users is the requirement to power their portable computer or handheld device on the road. Many portable devices offer designs and form factors that support great portability and travel comfort; however, battery life limits prolonged use in mobile settings. This problem is compounded particularly for mobile users that travel frequently via air or road. Current solutions require the use of multiple, model-specific charging devices for different models, different computing devices, and different power sources. For the mobile user with several devices such as notebook computers, mobile phones and PDAs, there is extreme inconvenience in carrying multiple power adapters and in having access to an appropriate power source. Mobile users face several additional issues relating to powering mobile computing devices. First, mobile devices have limited battery life, which necessitates the need to frequently connect to a power source to recharge batteries and negatively impacts productivity. Second, power adapters shipped with notebook computers only offer power and charging from a wall outlet (AC source), which limits power source access for mobile users. Mobile users need access to power anywhere and everywhere -- in their office, in the air and in their vehicle. Third, the mobile user is inconvenienced because notebook computers typically provide a single power adapter. Without a second "travel" adapter, mobile users must crawl under their desks and grab their adapter when they are at home or on the road. Fourth, there are space constraints for frequent travelers. Mobile users typically carry a mobile phone and/or a PDA in addition to their notebook computer. Each device requires a separate power adapter. These adapters consume valuable space in users' notebook computer bags and briefcases. Last, power connectors and device requirements are proprietary. As a result users must typically purchase their adapters from notebook computer, mobile 4 phone and PDA manufacturers. This phenomenon generally results in high prices and limits easy access to adapter solutions. We believe that we are well positioned to provide a variety of power solutions to mobile computing users. We recently were the first in the industry to introduce a combination AC and DC power adapter, called Juice(TM), which allows the simultaneous charging of a portable computer and a secondary device -- such as a mobile phone or PDA -- in a vehicle, an airplane, a home, or an office. We also offer a range of DC to DC, more commonly known as auto/air, power adapters that allow mobile computer users to power their computing device in a vehicle, a boat, or an airplane, as well as a range of batteries for portable computers. Our current major customers for these products include the computer original equipment manufacturers or OEM's, such as Gateway, Apple, Winbook, Sotec, IBM, Toshiba and others. We are also developing a variety of complementary power products that we plan to introduce throughout 2003. For the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, this product category represented 25.9%, 46.1% and 42.7% of our consolidated revenues, respectively. HANDHELD PRODUCTS Today's connectivity devices for handheld PCs, also known as cradles, are designed to recharge the device's battery and to support the handheld PC as a companion product for use with either a portable or desktop computer. This limited functionality restricts mobile users who desire to use their handheld PC as their only mobile computing device when traveling and or communicating to a network. Other challenges facing handheld PC users are the difficulties of data input and output, the size and quality of the handheld video display, and connectivity desired to update, share, and present data. Handheld device OEMs, of both PDAs and pocket PCs, offer limited connectivity options that enable handheld PCs to communicate with networks, computer peripherals, and display devices without the presence of a portable or desktop computer. We believe that our connectivity and accessory products effectively fill gaps in the accessory offering of the leading handheld device OEMs, such as Palm, Handspring and Compaq. We are uniquely positioned to leverage technology developed internally that enables us to create a flexible product offering to satisfy a variety of connectivity needs. Our leading connectivity products for handheld computers provide Ethernet or modem, and external video presentation capabilities that are not offered by the handheld device OEMs. We have enjoyed success with these types of solutions with customers in vertical markets that deploy handheld devices as a mobile user's primary computing device. We believe that the outlook for our products in the handheld market is promising, and our technology is well suited to create both vertical market and mass market solutions that augment handheld computing as a viable alternative to portable computing. Our current product offering for handheld computers includes intelligent cradles that power the device and connect to the internet over an integrated Ethernet or modem in the cradle; a family of presentation devices, called Pitch, that allow the user of a PDA or smartphone to display and make presentations on any monitor or power point projector; and software products that allow users of Palm operating systems devices -- such as PDA's and smartphones -- to use presentation, word processing and spreadsheet programs on their handheld device. These products are marketed to major OEM's such as Symbol and Palm, cellular phone manufacturers such as Kyocera, and to the distribution channel, as well as to customers in vertical markets that deploy handheld devices as a mobile user's primary computing device. For the year ended December 31, 2002, this product category represented 30.8% of our consolidated revenues. This product category did not exist for Mobility during the years 2001 and 2000. EXPANSION PRODUCTS The PCI bus has become the standard I/O bus on every modern personal computer, and simply put, one of the most successful bus standards ever developed. Because of this success, the proliferation of PCI cards has been nothing short of explosive. As a result, the demand for additional PCI slots for increased 5 functionality has followed the tremendous growth of PCI card usage. In addition, the demand for increased portability, flexibility, and performance in computing has followed the trend of smaller form factors and faster processing speeds. Despite the demands for additional PCI slots and smaller form factors, computer manufacturers are not increasing the number of PCI slots on their desktop computers. Even worse, we believe that the majority of growth in the personal computing industry will be driven by the introduction and adoption of more powerful, portable and flexible notebook computers as primary computing devices, which will replace desktop machines. Because of their architecture and small form factor, notebook computers do not have any PCI slots, and thus cannot support the added functionality of PCI cards. In response, computer users in various industries have become increasingly frustrated with their computing alternatives. Our acquisition of MAGMA in October 2000 solidified our position as a market leader in the PCI expansion business by providing intellectual property, products, distribution channels, key customers, and additional resources that we believe will leverage our Split Bridge(R) technology and accelerate our growth and development in this market segment. Our family of PCI expansion products provides users of PCI-based systems the portability, flexibility, and performance needed for high-end computing applications. We provide these products to a range of industries, including audio/video editing, test and measurement, industrial automation, broadcast, telephony, and others that can now have scalable systems that could not previously be used in mobile settings because of system limitations. Hence, our products enable mobility for users and provide computing power and functionality not previously offered. We offer a variety of PCI slot expansion products for portable computers, desktop computers and servers, including PCI to PCI expansion, CardBus to PCI expansion, Switched Fabric Expansion, Split Bridge(R) and other non-enclosed links and board sets, and Seriel PCI and SBus products. Our expansion customers include value added reseller and OEM's such as Agilent, DigiDesign, a division of Avid, Cisco, NBC, AMD, Intel, and many others. For the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, this product category represented 22.3%, 27.1% and 27.6% of our consolidated revenues, respectively. ACCESSORIES We also market a number of portable computing accessory products, such as port replicators that incorporate our Split Bridge(R) technology, monitor stands, cellular accessories, and portable computer stands. Our most significant customer in this product category is IBM. For the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, this product category represented 18.0%, 25.4% and 22.2% of our consolidated revenues, respectively. TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER FEES Technology transfer fees consist of revenue derived by us from licensing and transferring our Split Bridge(R) and handheld docking cradle technology and architecture. For the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, technology transfer fees represented 3.0%, 1.4% and 7.5% of our consolidated revenues, respectively.

We also utilize our web site as a major marketing and direct sales mechanism. MANUFACTURING Mobility outsources the manufacture of most of its products. Our auto/air power adapters are currently manufactured by Group West in Taiwan. Our AC/DC combination power adapters are manufactured by Hipro in China. Steman currently manufactures all of our Mobility branded monitor stands and private label monitor stands for our OEM customers in Taiwan. Our handheld cradles and presentation products are manufactured primarily by Western Electronics in Boise, Idaho. In-house manufacturing activity is currently limited to the manufacture of our expansion products. The low volumes as well as the engineering support required to properly manufacture these products is not compatible with an outsource manufacturing model. We will continue to build these products in-house for the foreseeable future. Some products are shipped to us in bulk quantities, and are not packaged for delivery to our customers. We currently utilize the services of PFSweb to break down and package these products with the corresponding operations manuals and other product documentation. The principal components of our products are purchased from outside vendors. Several of these vendors are the sole source of supply of the components that they supply. Philips Semiconductors, Inc. is currently the sole supplier of our Split Bridge(R) technology ASIC chips. Molex Incorporated is the sole supplier of certain system connectors for use with our Split Bridge(R) docking products. SMK Corporation is the sole supplier of the serial interface connector used in certain of our serial cradles for handheld products. We purchase from all three of these vendors on a purchase order basis. COMPETITION Our power products primarily compete with products offered by specialized third party mobile computing accessory companies, including Lind, Targus, RRC in Germany, and others. Although some of these competitors enjoy greater distribution coverage and resources, we believe that our power technologies and co-development relationships will enable us to effectively compete against the products offered by those competitors. We also believe that our technological leadership will enable us to secure business from many leading mobile computing device OEMs. Our expansion products primarily compete with products offered by SBS Communications, a provider of low cost PCI expansion products. We believe that we are able to differentiate our products from those of SBS with our backplane technology, our Split Bridge(R) technology, and certain other innovative features. We also license our bridging technology to SBS for use in several of their PCI expansion products. Our handheld products generally compete with products offered by specialized third party accessory companies, including Margi and Data Viz. We believe we have unique products and technology not available from our competitors at this time. We also believe that we have a competitive advantage through our strategic alliances with certain key industry leaders. Generally speaking, the market for computer products is intensely competitive, subject to rapid change and sensitive to new product introductions or enhancements and marketing efforts by industry participants. The principal competitive factors affecting the markets for our product offerings include corporate and product reputation, innovation with frequent product enhancement, breadth of integrated product line, product design, functionality and features, product quality, performance, ease-of-use, support 9 and price. Although we believe that our products compete favorably with respect to such factors, there can be no assurance that we can maintain our competitive position against current or potential competitors, especially those with greater financial, marketing, service, support, technical or other competitive resources. PROPRIETARY RIGHTS Our success and ability to compete is dependent in part upon our proprietary technology. We rely primarily on a combination of patent protection, copyright and trademark laws, trade secrets, nondisclosure agreements and technical measures to protect our proprietary rights. We currently have twenty-four patents issued worldwide and over fifty patents pending pertaining to Split Bridge(R) technology, CardBus technology, power technology, expansion technology, and other technology areas. We currently license different aspects of our proprietary rights to third parties pursuant to strategic alliances, which often include cross-licensing arrangements. We will continue to vigorously pursue patent protection for all our product categories. In addition, we currently have thirty-eight United States trademark registrations and twelve pending applications for United States trademark registration. For most of these trademark registrations, we have also pursued or are pursuing registration in a variety of foreign markets. We have obtained and are continuing to seek trademark protection abroad in Brazil, Canada, China, the European Community, France, Germany, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, Taiwan, and the United Kingdom. The scope of our trademark protection is comprehensive and covers all of the company's significant trademarks and service marks. We typically enter into confidentiality agreements with our employees, distributors, customers and potential customers, and limit access to, and distribution of, our product design documentation and other proprietary information. Moreover, we enter into noncompetition agreements with employees, except where restricted by law, whereby the employees are prohibited from working for our competitors for a period of one year after termination of their employment and from sharing confidential information with them as long as the information remains confidential. Additionally, we believe that, due to the rapid pace of innovation within the computer industry, the following factors also represent protection for our technology: - technological and creative skill of personnel; - knowledge and experience of management; - name recognition; - maintenance and support of products; - the ability to develop, enhance, market and acquire products and services; and - the establishment of strategic relationships in the industry. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT Our future success depends on our ability to enhance existing products and develop new products that incorporate the latest technological developments available. Our research and development efforts will focus primarily on enhancing our current technologies and developing new technologies for use in a variety of innovative mobile computing solutions. We work with customers and prospects, as well as partners and industry standards organizations, to identify and implement new solutions that meet the current and future needs of our customers. Whenever possible, our products are designed to meet and drive industry standards to ensure interoperability. Currently, our research and development group consists of 30 people who are responsible for both hardware and software design, test and quality assurance. In addition, industrial design services are provided to us as part of our strategic alliance with Hotwire and several of our contract manufacturers provide design services under the supervision of our in-house design team. Amounts spent on research and 10 development for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000 were $5.8 million, $5.6 million and $5.9 million, respectively. EMPLOYEES As of December 31, 2002, we had 134 full-time employees, 130 of which are located in the United States and 4 of which are located in Europe, including 30 employed in operations, 31 in engineering, 46 in sales and marketing and 27 in administration. We engage temporary employees from time to time to augment our full time employees, generally in operations. None of our employees are covered by a collective bargaining agreement. We believe we have good relationships with our employees. ITEM 2. PROPERTIES Our corporate offices are located in Scottsdale, Arizona. This facility consists of approximately 20,182 square feet of leased space pursuant to a lease for which the current term expires on September 30, 2008. Additionally, we lease offices in San Diego, California, Boise, Idaho, Dallas, Texas, Reno, Nevada and Orange County, California. Each of these offices supports our selling, research and development, and general administrative activities. Our San Diego facility is also utilized for light assembly of computer peripheral products. Our warehouse and product fulfillment operations are conducted at a third-party location in Memphis, Tennessee. We believe our facilities are suitable and adequate for our current business activities for the remainder of the lease terms. ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS Richard C. Liggitt, a former stockholder of Portsmith, filed a claim (Case No. 02CC03308 filed February 22, 2002 in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of Orange, Central Judicial District) against Portsmith and certain of its officers and directors alleging (a) fraud in connection with merger negotiations that led to the execution of a merger agreement between a company owned by Mr. Liggitt and Portsmith, (b) wrongful termination of his employment with Portsmith, and (c) breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing under his employment agreement with Portsmith. During November 2002, the parties reached a settlement. Under the terms of the settlement, we paid $10,000 upon approval of the settlement by the Court. Contemporaneously, we agreed to pay Mr. Liggitt an aggregate of $990,000 in exchange for cancellation of all of Mr. Liggitt's rights as a former shareholder of Portsmith under the merger agreement between Portsmith and us, including, but not limited to, the 53,647 shares of our common stock Mr. Liggitt received in connection with the merger, the 53,646 shares of our common stock that had been held in escrow that Mr. Liggitt would have otherwise been entitled to receive and Mr. Liggitt's share in any potential earn-out payments. The $990,000 will be paid in the form of a convertible subordinated promissory note bearing interest at four percent per year, payable in quarterly installments of principal and interest beginning in January 2003, through December 2005. The outstanding principal of the promissory note may be converted by Mr. Liggitt at any time into shares of our common stock, at a conversion price of $3.00 per share. In connection with this settlement, the potential earn-outs under the merger agreement between Portsmith and us will be reduced by $480,000, plus a certain additional amount for fees and expenses and a tax settlement, and Mr. Liggitt's share of the potential earn-outs will be eliminated. Mobility Electronics, Inc. v. Comarco, Inc. and Comarco Wireless Technologies, Inc. was filed on August 10, 2001 in the United States District Court for the District of Arizona. In this lawsuit, we allege infringement of U.S. Patent No. 5,347,211 entitled "Selectable Output Power Converter." Our Amended Complaint also seeks declaratory judgments of non-infringement, patent invalidity and/or patent unenforceability of three patents allegedly owned by Comarco: U.S. Patent Nos. 6,172,884, 6,091,661 and 5,838,554. The defendants filed a motion to dismiss which was denied by the court. On February 4, 2003, we moved to amend our Complaint again, including adding Targus Group International as a defendant for infringement of our Patent No. 5,347,211. This Motion was granted, and our Second Amended Complaint adding Targus Group International was filed on March 3, 2003. We intend to vigorously pursue our claims in this litigation. 11 Comarco Wireless Technologies, Inc. v. Xtend Micro Products, Inc. and iGo Corporation (n/k/a iGo Direct Corporation); No. CIV-02-2201 was filed on June 21, 2002 in the United States District Court for the District of Arizona. This suit is currently pending in Phoenix. Xtend Micro Products is a subsidiary of our subsidiary, iGo Direct Corporation. It was initially filed in California but was transferred to Phoenix based on the motion of iGo Corporation and Xtend Micro Products, the two defendants. It has been consolidated for purposes of discovery with the case referenced above brought by us against Comarco, Inc. and Comarco Wireless Technologies. In this litigation, Comarco claims infringement of its U.S. Patent Nos. 6,172,884 and 6,091,661. We intend to vigorously pursue our defenses. Comarco Wireless Technologies, Inc. v. Mobility Electronics, Inc., Hipro Electronics Company, Ltd., and iGo Direct Corporation; No. CIV-03-0202; in the United States District Court for the District of Arizona. Comarco instituted yet a third lawsuit involving the same patents when it filed its complaint in this case on January 31, 2003 in the United States District Court for the District of Arizona. This case, by order of the court, has been consolidated with the case previously filed by Mobility for purposes of discovery. In this case, Comarco claims infringement of its U.S. Patent Nos. 6,172,884 and 6,091,661. Comarco has filed a motion for preliminary injunction which is set for hearing on June 12, 2003. We intend to vigorously defend against the claims in the lawsuit as well as pursue our own claims that were brought in the previously filed suit. Mobility Electronics, Inc. v. General Dynamics OTS, Inc., pending in the United States District Court for the District of Arizona, Docket No. Civ '02 0736 PHX JAT was filed on April 19, 2002. This is a suit for declaratory judgment arising out of a dispute involving a trademark license agreement with General Dynamics OTS, Inc., the owner of the trademark "EmPower." General Dynamics contends that we owe approximately $710,000 in back royalties and interest based upon its interpretation of the license agreement. Under our interpretation of the license, the royalties owed are substantially less. We commenced this litigation in order to have the court construe the disputed terms of the license agreement and determine the amount we owed. General Dynamics filed a counterclaim in the litigation seeking damages for breach of the license agreement and a declaration of its rights under the agreement. The parties entered into a settlement agreement with respect to the litigation on March 17, 2003 pursuant to which we will obtain a ten year trademark license from General Dynamics in exchange for $400,000, plus $1,000 in interest charges, payable in installments as follows: $201,000 on April 1, 2003, $125,000 payable on January 15, 2004 and $25,000 payable on each of January 15, 2005-2007. In connection with this license, we agreed to pay to General Dynamics an annual maintenance fee of $25,000 payable on each of January 15, 2009-2013. The license may be terminated by us at any time, without further obligation, at any time on and after December 31, 2008. We are from time to time involved in various legal proceedings incidental to the conduct of our business. We believe that the outcome of all such pending legal proceedings will not in the aggregate have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or liquidity. ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS No matter was submitted to a vote of stockholders during the fourth quarter of 2002. PART II ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS Our common stock has been traded on the Nasdaq National Market under the symbol "MOBE" since June 30, 2000, the date of our initial public offering. Prior to that time, there was no public market 12 for our common stock. The following sets forth, for the period indicated, the high and low bid prices for our common stock as reported by the Nasdaq National Market. <Table> <Caption> HIGH LOW ----- ----- Quarter Ended March 31, 2001................................ $3.63 $1.88 Quarter Ended June 30, 2001................................. $3.99 $1.81 Quarter Ended September 30, 2001............................ $2.84 $0.84 Quarter Ended December 31, 2001............................. $1.85 $0.66 Quarter Ended March 31, 2002................................ $1.68 $1.11 Quarter Ended June 30, 2002................................. $2.41 $1.30 Quarter Ended September 30, 2002............................ $2.29 $0.90 Quarter Ended December 31, 2002............................. $1.06 $0.60 </Table> As of March 21, 2003, we had 520 stockholders of record. We have never paid cash dividends on our common stock, and it is the current intention of management to retain earnings to finance the growth of our business. We are currently restricted from paying dividends in accordance with the terms of our bank line of credit. Future payment of cash dividends will depend upon financial condition, results of operations, cash requirements, tax treatment, and certain corporate law requirements, loan covenant requirements, as well as other factors deemed relevant by our Board of Directors. We incorporate by reference the Equity Compensation Plan Information contained under the heading "Executive Compensation -- Securities Authorized for Issuance Under Equity Compensation Plans," from our definitive Proxy Statement to be delivered to our shareholders in connection with the 2003 Annual Meeting of Shareholders scheduled for May 21, 2003. RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES. Each issuance set forth below was made in reliance upon the exemptions from registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, contained in Section 4(2) on the basis that such transactions did not involve a public offering. When appropriate, we determined that the purchasers of securities described below were sophisticated investors who had the financial ability to assume the risk of their investment in our securities and acquired such securities for their own account and not with a view to any distribution thereof to the public. The certificates evidencing the securities bear legends stating that the securities are not to be offered, sold or transferred other than pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration requirements. In February 2002, we acquired all of the issued and outstanding stock of Portsmith, Inc. The compensation we paid to the former Portsmith stockholders was comprised of 800,000 shares of our common stock, of which 400,000 shares were placed in escrow for the former Portsmith stockholders pending measurement of certain performance criteria of Portsmith on the first anniversary of the date of this transaction, and contingent earn-out payments are to be made depending on Portsmith's future performance during the first year after the acquisition, through December 31, 2002, which payments may be made in cash and/or shares of our common stock, subject to certain limitations. In December 2002, the 400,000 escrow shares were issued to the former Portsmith stockholders. Contemporaneously with the settlement of a lawsuit, we reacquired 107,293 shares of our common stock that had been previously issued to a former Portsmith stockholder, resulting in a total of 692,707 shares of common stock issued to former Portsmith stockholders, and we reduced the earn-out payments to be payable to the former Portsmith stockholders. The settlement and acquisition of the shares is discussed below. Richard C. Liggitt, a former stockholder of Portsmith, filed a claim against Portsmith and certain of its officers and directors alleging (a) fraud in connection with merger negotiations that led to the execution of a merger agreement between a company owned by Mr. Liggitt and Portsmith, (b) wrongful termination of his employment with Portsmith, and (c) breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing 13 under his employment agreement with Portsmith. During November 2002, the parties reached a settlement. Under the terms of the settlement, we paid $10,000 upon approval of the settlement by the Court. Contemporaneously, we agreed to pay Mr. Liggitt an aggregate of $990,000 in exchange for cancellation of all of Mr. Liggitt's rights as a former shareholder of Portsmith under the merger agreement between the Company and Portsmith, including, but not limited to, the 53,647 shares of our common stock Mr. Liggitt received in connection with the merger, the 53,646 shares of our common stock that had been held in escrow that Mr. Liggitt would have otherwise been entitled to receive and Mr. Liggitt's share in any potential earn-out payments. The $990,000 will be paid in the form of a convertible subordinated promissory note bearing interest at four percent per year, payable in quarterly installments of principal and interest beginning in January 2003, through December 2005. The outstanding principal of the promissory note may be converted by Mr. Liggitt at any time into shares of our common stock, at a conversion price of $3.00 per share. In connection with this settlement, the potential earn-outs under the merger agreement between Portsmith and us will be reduced by $480,000, plus a certain additional amount for fees and expenses and a tax settlement, and Mr. Liggitt's share of the potential earn-outs will be eliminated. In May 2002, we issued 50,000 shares of our common stock to each of Joan W. Brubacher, Darryl S. Baker, Ed Romascan and Timothy S. Jeffries, our employees at the time, at a purchase price of $1.40 per share, for a total issuance of 200,000 shares. Each executive executed and delivered to us a three-year promissory note, in the original principal amount of $70,000, and bearing interest at the rate of 6% per annum. These promissory notes are secured by the shares of common stock so issued. In August 2002, we issued 796,394 shares of our common stock to Jeff Musa in connection with our acquisition of all of the stock of Cutting Edge Software, Inc. See "Business" for a description of this acquisition. In January 2003, we issued and sold 865,051 shares of newly designated Series E preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share, at a purchase price of $0.7225 per share, and 729,407 shares of newly designated Series F preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share, at a purchase price of $0.85 per share. In connection with this sale, we also issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of 559,084 shares of our common stock. The warrants issued to holders of Series E Stock permit them to purchase an aggregate of 216,263 shares of common stock, at an exercise price of $0.867 per share (the "Series E Warrants"), and the warrants issued to holders of Series F Stock permit them to purchase an aggregate of 342,821 shares of common stock, at an exercise price of $1.02 per share (the "Series F Warrants"). The Series E Stock was purchased by a single non-affiliated investor, while the Series F Stock was purchased by certain of our officers and directors and their affiliates including Charles Mollo, Jeffrey Harris, Larry Carr, Joan Brubacher, Timothy Jeffries, Janice Breeze-Mollo, Oxley LLLP, New Vistas Investment Corporation and New Horizons Enterprises.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read together with "Selected Consolidated Financial Data" and our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in this Report. OVERVIEW We design, develop and market power, connectivity, and accessory products and solutions for the mobile computing user. This includes (1) various AC and DC power adapters and batteries that allow the user to power a notebook computer in an office, a home, a car, an airplane, or a boat, (2) a variety of cradle and connectivity products and software for handheld devices, (3) a variety of accessories for portable computers such as monitor stands, travel adapters, and the like, and (4) universal docking products and remote peripheral component interface, or PCI bus, technology and products using our proprietary PCI expansion and Split Bridge(R) technologies. To date, our revenues have come predominantly from AC and DC power adapters, accessories, handheld connectivity products, and expansion products. We expect revenues from those products to continue and also expect to see increasing revenues primarily from current and new power and handheld products and solutions as we further expand our markets and distribution channels for these products. We sell our products to OEMs, distributors, resellers, retailers, and end-users. A substantial portion of our net product sales is concentrated among a number of OEMs, including Symbol, IBM, Gateway, Hewlett-Packard, NEC, and Toshiba. A portion of our sales to IBM are made through Kingston Technologies, who acts as our fulfillment hub manager for sales in the United States and Malaysia. Direct sales to OEMs accounted for approximately 62% of net product sales for the year ended December 31, 2002 and approximately 72% of net product sales for the year ended December 31, 2001. We expect that we will continue to be dependent upon a number of OEMs for a significant portion of our net product sales in future periods, although no OEM is presently obligated to purchase a specified amount of products. A portion of our sales to distributors and resellers is generally under terms that provide for certain stock balancing return privileges and price protection. Accordingly, we make a provision for estimated sales returns and other allowances related to those sales. Returns, which have been netted in the product sales presented herein, were approximately 5% of net product sales for each of the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001. The major distributors are allowed to return up to 20% of their prior quarter's purchases under the stock balancing programs, provided that they place a new order for equal or greater dollar value of the stock balancing return. We derive a material portion of our net product sales outside the United States, principally in Europe. International sales accounted for approximately 14% of our net product sales for the year ended December 31, 2002 and approximately 30% for the year ended December 31, 2001. We expect product sales outside the United States to continue to account for a large portion of our future net product sales. International sales are generally denominated in the currency of our foreign customers. A decrease in the value of foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar could result in a significant decrease in U.S. dollar sales received by us for our international sales. Various factors have in the past affected and may continue in the future to affect our gross profits, including but not limited to, our product mix, lower volume production and higher fixed costs for newly introduced product platforms and technologies, market acceptance of newly introduced products and the position of our products in their respective lifecycles. The initial stages of our product introductions are generally characterized by lower volume production, which is accompanied by higher costs, especially for specific products, which are initially purchased in small volumes during the development lifecycle. 16 We have experienced significant operating losses since inception and, as of December 31, 2002, we have an accumulated deficit of approximately $100.5 million. These accumulated losses have resulted in decreases in cash and cash equivalents. If we do not achieve continued revenue growth sufficient to absorb our recent and planned expenditures, we could experience additional losses and corresponding decreases in cash and cash equivalents in future periods. Operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2002 totaled $21.1 million as compared to $23.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2001. We anticipate that in the future we will make additional investments in our sales and marketing activities and, as a result, operating expenses will increase. We intend to make such investments on an ongoing basis, from cash generated from operations and, if available, from lines of credit and other sources of financing, as we develop and introduce new products and expand into new markets. We expect that such increases in spending will result in increases in revenues and resulting gross profits, which should result in turning our net losses into net profits. Recent general economic conditions have contributed to a slow down in sales of computers and computer-related products and accessories. This economic slow down has had a negative impact on our revenues. If we are not able to grow revenues in future periods, we are likely to continue to incur net losses and our cash equivalents are likely to continue to decrease. In October 2000, we acquired all of the assets of Mesa Ridge Technologies, Inc. d/b/a MAGMA, a privately held company. MAGMA provides a range of PCI expansion products for the computer industry which utilize traditional PCI bridge technology and MAGMA's patented expansion technology. The acquisition of MAGMA solidified our position as a market leader in the PCI expansion business by providing products, distribution channels, key customers, and additional resources that can leverage our Split Bridge(R) technology and accelerate our growth and development in this market segment. In February 2002, we acquired Portsmith, Inc., an industry leader in providing connectivity solutions for handheld computing devices. This acquisition provides us with an entrance into the rapidly growing handheld computing device market and reinforces our focus on delivering powerful mobile computing solutions. Portsmith currently provides a range of Ethernet, modem, and other connectivity products for the most popular handheld devices such as Palm, Handspring Visor, Compaq IPAQ, and other mainstream PDA products, and intends to undertake a number of important product development programs that expand on these solutions. In August 2002, we acquired Cutting Edge Software, Inc., a leading developer and provider of software solutions for handheld computing devices. Cutting Edge Software currently provides software that allows users of Palm operating system devices to utilize popular word processing, spreadsheet and presentation programs. Cutting Edge Software has also developed software that allows users to remotely access files stored on a desktop computer from a wireless PDA or smartphone. This acquisition, in conjunction with the Portsmith acquisition, enhances our product and service offering within the rapidly growing wireless handheld computing device market. In September 2002, we acquired iGo Corporation (now iGo Direct Corporation), a leading computer solutions provider. iGo distributes its products through distributors and directly through its catalog and internet channels, and is a well-recognized brand name in the portable computer power products and accessories market. We believe the acquisition of iGo will broaden our revenue base and substantially strengthen our distribution capabilities and brand identity. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make a number of 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, including those related to bad debts, inventories, warranty obligations, and 17 contingencies and litigation. We base our estimates 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. We believe the following critical accounting policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. REVENUE RECOGNITION Revenue from product sales is recognized upon shipment and transfer of ownership from us or our contract manufacturer to the customer. Allowances for sales returns and credits are provided for in the same period the related sales are recorded. Should the actual return or sales credit rates differ from our estimates, revisions to the estimated allowance for sales returns and credits may be required. Revenue from technology transfer fees, consisting of the licensing and transferring of Split Bridge(R) and other technology and architecture, and related training and implementation support services, is recognized over the term of the respective sales or license agreement. Certain license agreements contain no stated termination date, whereby we recognize the revenue over the estimated life of the license. Should the actual life differ from the estimates, revisions to the estimated life may be required. Our recognition of revenues from product sales to distributors and retailers (the "distribution channel") is affected by agreements we have giving certain customers rights to return our product at any time after purchase. We also have agreements with certain customers that allow them to receive credit for subsequent price reductions ("price protection"). At the time we recognize revenue, upon shipment and transfer of ownership, we reduce our measurements of those sales and the related cost of sales by our estimates of future returns and price protection. We also reduce our measurements of accounts receivable by the estimated profit margins associated with returns (i.e., sales price less cost of sales). Gross sales to the distribution channel accounted for approximately 12% of net product sales for the year ended December 31, 2002 and approximately 14% for the year ended December 31, 2001. For our products, a historical correlation exists between the amount of distribution channel inventory and the amount of returns that actually occur. The greater the distribution channel inventory, the more product returns we expect. For each of our products, we monitor levels of product sales and inventory at our distributors' warehouses and at retailers as part of our effort to reach an appropriate accounting estimate for returns. In estimating returns, we analyze historical returns, current inventory in the distribution channel, current economic trends, changes in consumer demand, introduction of new competing products, and acceptance of our products. In recent years, as a result of a combination of the factors described above, we have reduced our gross sales to reflect our estimated amounts of returns and price protection. It is also possible that returns could increase rapidly and significantly in the future. Accordingly, estimating product returns requires significant management judgment. In addition, different return estimates that we reasonably could have used would have had a material impact on our reported sales and thus have had a material impact on the presentation of the results of operations. For those reasons, we believe that the accounting estimate related to product returns and price protection is a "critical accounting estimate". GOODWILL In conjunction with the implementation of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" (SFAS No. 142), we performed a goodwill impairment evaluation as of January 1, 2002 relating to the goodwill that was recorded at December 31, 2001. Based on the results of that impairment evaluation, we determined the recorded goodwill at December 31, 2001 of approximately $5.6 million was fully impaired. We recorded the impairment write-down as a cumulative effect of change in accounting principle in accordance with the new accounting standard. 18 As a result of our recent acquisitions of Portsmith, Cutting Edge Software and iGo during 2002, we have recorded additional goodwill of approximately $8.3 million. In accordance with SFAS No. 142, we evaluated the newly acquired goodwill for impairment and determined that the recorded goodwill was not impaired as of December 31, 2002. The impairment evaluation process is based on both a discounted future cash flow approach and a market comparable approach. The discounted cash flow approach uses our estimates of future market growth rates, market share, revenues and costs, as well as appropriate discount rates. If we fail to achieve our assumed revenue growth rates or assumed gross margin, we may incur charges for impairment of goodwill in the future. For these reasons, we believe that the accounting estimate related to goodwill impairment is a "critical accounting estimate".

(42.2)% (69.5)% (54.6)% ===== ===== ===== </Table> Years Ended December 31, 2002 and 2001 Net product sales. Net product sales consist of sales of product, net of returns and allowances. We recognize sales at the time goods are shipped and the ownership of the goods is transferred to the customer. Allowances for returns and credits are made in the same period the related sales are recorded. Net product sales increased 8.9% to $30.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2002 from $27.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2001. Revenues for 2002 increased over 2001 primarily as a 19 result of our acquisitions of Portsmith, Cutting Edge Software and iGo during 2002. Approximately $9.2 million of the increase was due to sales of handheld connectivity products through our Portsmith subsidiary, which we acquired in February 2002. Approximately $0.5 million of the increase was due to sales of handheld software products through our Cutting Edge Software subsidiary, which we acquired in August 2002. Approximately $3.8 million of the increase was due to sales of AC and DC power adapters, batteries, and accessories through our iGo subsidiary, which we acquired in September 2002. Sales of expansion and docking products increased by approximately $0.3 million during 2002. These increases were partially offset by a decrease of approximately $7.3 million in sales of AC and DC power adapters primarily due to the termination of our distribution agreement with Targus, Inc. in December 2001. Sales of USB products decreased by approximately $1.0 million as a result of a planned exit of that product line during 2002. Sales of monitor stands and other accessories decreased by approximately $3.0 million during 2002 as a result of recent general economic conditions that have contributed to a slow down in sales of computers and computer-related products and accessories. During 2003, we anticipate revenues will increase primarily as a result of the introduction of new combination AC and DC power adapter products and increased sales of handheld connectivity and software products. Technology transfer fees. Technology transfer fees consist of revenue from our licensing and transferring our Split Bridge--Registered Trademark-- technology and other technology and architecture, and related training and implementation support services. Revenue from technology transfer fees is recognized ratably over the term of the sales agreement. During the year ended December 31, 2002, we recognized technology transfer fee revenues of $0.9 million or 3.0% of total revenues. Technology transfer fees represented revenue of $0.4 million, or 1.4% of total revenues, for the year ended December 31, 2001. The increase of approximately $0.5 million is primarily attributable to the recognition of technology transfer fees associated with sales of handheld connectivity architecture from our Portsmith subsidiary during 2002. Cost of revenue -- product sales. Cost of revenue -- product sales consists primarily of costs associated with components, outsourced manufacturing and in-house labor associated with assembly, testing, packaging, shipping and quality assurance, and depreciation of equipment and indirect manufacturing costs. Cost of revenue -- product sales decreased 6.5% to $24.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2002 from $25.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2002. The decrease in cost of revenue -- product sales was due primarily to a $3.8 million charge to cost of revenue -- product sales for excess and obsolete inventory and abandoned tooling for the year ended December 31, 2001. This decrease was partially offset by a similar charge for excess and obsolete inventory of $1.2 million during 2002. Cost of revenue -- product sales as a percentage of net product sales decreased to 76.7% for the year ended December 31, 2002 from 90.7% for the year ended December 31, 2001. Excluding the charges for excess and obsolete inventory and abandoned tooling, cost of revenues -- product sales as a percentage of net product sales was 75.0% and 78.6% for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The reduction in cost of revenues -- product sales as a percentage of net product sales is primarily attributable to the spreading of fixed overhead expenses over increases in sales volumes. We anticipate cost of revenue -- product sales as a percentage of net product sales to continue to decrease as future sales volumes increase and with the anticipated introduction of new, higher-margin products. Cost of revenue -- technology transfer. Cost of revenue -- technology transfer consists of engineering expenses related to the Split Bridge(R) technology and other technology and architecture. There were no costs of revenue -- technology transfer for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, as the technology transfer fees for the periods consisted solely of fees for existing technology. Gross profit. Gross profit increased to 23.3% of total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2002 from 9.3% of total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2001. The gross profit rate increase is due primarily to the $3.8 million charge to cost of revenue -- product sales for excess and obsolete inventory and abandoned tooling for the year ended December 31, 2001, offset by a similar charge of approximately $1.2 million during 2002. Excluding these charges, gross profit was 27.3% and 22.5% for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Gross profit was also positively impacted by the change in product mix during 2002, including the discontinuance of low margin power product sales to Targus. We 20 expect gross profit as a percent of sales to increase in future periods due to projected future revenue increases and as a result of the introduction of new, higher margin products. Sales and marketing. Sales and marketing expenses generally consist of salaries, commissions and other personnel related costs of our sales, marketing and support personnel, advertising, public relations, promotions, printed media and travel. Sales and marketing expenses decreased 12.9% to $7.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2002 from $8.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2001. The decrease is primarily the result of a reduction in marketing programs resulting from our decision to focus our marketing efforts on what we have deemed to be the most productive sales channels. As a percentage of total revenue, sales and marketing expenses decreased to 22.6% for the year ended December 31, 2002 from 28.7% for the year ended December 31, 2001. Research and development. Research and development expenses consist primarily of salaries and personnel-related costs, facilities, outside consulting, lab costs and travel related costs of our product development group. Research and development expenses increased 3.3% to $5.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2002 from $5.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2001. Research and development expenses as a percentage of total revenue decreased to 18.5% for the year ended December 31, 2002 from 19.8% for the year ended December 31, 2001. The decrease is due to reductions in engineering expenses and staff as a result of the development of Split Bridge(R) technology, which was largely developed in 2000 and the early part of 2001. The decrease is partially offset by charges for acquired in-process research and development of $620,000 and the $400,000 write-off of certain tooling equipment related to the development of a product that was abandoned during the year ended December 31, 2002. Excluding these charges, research and development expense decreased to $4.8 million or 15.2% of revenues. General and administrative. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and other personnel-related expenses of our finance, human resources, information systems, corporate development and other administrative personnel, as well as professional fees, depreciation and amortization and related expenses. General and administrative expenses also include non-cash compensation of $51,000 and $21,000 for 2002 and 2001 respectively, which is the result of the issuance of common stock, warrants and stock options at a price deemed to be less than market value to employees and outside consultants for services rendered. General and administrative expenses decreased 17.3% to $8.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2002 from $10.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2001. For the year ended December 31, 2001, general and administrative expenses included a write-off of a $3.0 million loan to a strategic partner and also included goodwill amortization of $0.6 million relating to the acquisition of Magma in October 2000. Excluding the 2001 charge and goodwill amortization, general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2002 increased approximately $1.8 million, primarily due to severance and termination costs and increases in general and administrative expenses, including personnel, facilities, travel and telecommunications as a result of the acquisitions of Portsmith, Cutting Edge Software and iGo. Excluding the 2001 charge and goodwill amortization, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenue increased to 26.2% for the year ended December 31, 2002 from 22.4% for the year ended December 31, 2001. As we begin to recognize increased revenues from the sales of our products, we anticipate that general and administrative expenses, as a percentage of revenue, will decrease. Interest, net. Interest, net consists primarily of interest earned on our cash balances and short-term investments, net of interest expense. Net interest income for year ended December 31, 2002 was $0.6 million compared to $1.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2001. The change was primarily due to the reduction in cash balance from December 31, 2001 to December 31, 2002. Income taxes. We have incurred losses from inception to date; therefore, no provision for income taxes was required for the years ended December 31, 2002 or 2001. Years Ended December 31, 2001 and 2000 Net product sales. Net product sales consist of sales of product, net of returns and allowances. We recognize sales at the time goods are shipped and the ownership of the goods is transferred to the 21 customer. Allowances for returns and credits are made in the same period the related sales are recorded. Net product sales increased 7.8% to $27.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2001 from $25.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2000. Approximately $3.3 million of the increase was due to sales of PCI expansion products through our MAGMA subsidiary, which we acquired in October 2000. Approximately $1.9 million of the increase was due to an increase in sales of our power adapter and monitor stand product lines. These increases were partially offset by a decrease of approximately $3.0 million in sales of our universal serial bus (USB) docking products in 2001. Technology transfer fees. Technology transfer fees consist of revenue from the licensing and transferring by the Company of its Split Bridge(R) technology and architecture. Revenue from technology transfer fees is recognized ratably over the term of the sales agreement. During the year ended December 31, 2001, we recognized a technology transfer fee of $400,000 or 1.4% of total revenues. Technology transfer fees represented revenue of $2.1 million, or 7.5% of total revenues, for the year ended December 31, 2000. Cost of revenue -- product sales. Cost of revenue -- product sales consists primarily of costs associated with components, outsourced manufacturing and in-house labor associated with assembly, testing, packaging, shipping and quality assurance, and depreciation of equipment and indirect manufacturing costs. Cost of revenue -- product sales increased 28.4% to $25.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2001 from $20.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2000. The increase in cost of revenue -- product sales was due in part to the 7.8% volume increase in net product sales. The balance of the increase was due to a $3.8 million charge to cost of revenue -- product sales for excess and obsolete inventory and abandoned tooling. Cost of revenue -- product sales as a percentage of net product sales increased to 92.0% for the year ended December 31, 2001 from 77.3% for the year ended December 31, 2000. Excluding the $3.8 million charge recorded in 2001, cost of revenue -- product sales as a percentage of net product sales for the year ended December 31, 2001 increased to 78.6% from 72.2%, excluding a $1.3 million charge to write off obsolete inventory, for the year ended December 31, 2000. Cost of revenue -- technology transfer. Cost of revenue -- technology transfer consists of engineering expenses related to the Split Bridge(R) technology. There were no costs of revenue -- technology transfer for the year ended December 31, 2001, as the technology transfer fees for the period consisted solely of fees for existing technology. Cost of revenue -- technology transfer was $200,000 for the year ended December 31, 2000. Gross profit. Gross profit decreased to 9.3% of total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2001 from 27.8% of total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2000. The gross profit rate decline was the result of the $3.8 million charge to cost of revenue -- product sales for excess and obsolete inventory and abandoned tooling, and the decrease in technology transfer fee revenues. Excluding the $3.8 million charge, gross profit decreased to 22.5% of total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2001 from 32.5% of total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2000 excluding a $1.3 million charge to write off obsolete inventory. Sales and marketing. Sales and marketing expenses generally consist of salaries, commissions and other personnel related costs of our sales, marketing and support personnel, advertising, public relations, promotions, printed media and travel. Sales and marketing expenses decreased 2.3% to $8.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2001 from $8.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2000. The decrease is primarily the result of a reduction in marketing programs resulting from our decision to focus our marketing efforts on what we have deemed to be the most productive sales channels. As a percentage of total revenue, sales and marketing expenses decreased to 28.7% for the year ended December 31, 2001 from 29.7% for the year ended December 31, 2000. Research and development. Research and development expenses consist primarily of salaries and personnel-related costs, facilities, outside consulting, lab costs and travel related costs of our product development group. Research and development expenses decreased 4.8% to $5.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2001 from $5.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2000. Research and development expenses as a percentage of total revenue decreased to 19.8% for the year ended December 31, 2001 from 22 21.0% for the year ended December 31, 2000. The decrease is due to the reductions in engineering costs, primarily personnel, in 2001 relating to Split Bridge(R) technology, which was largely developed during 2000 and the early part of 2001. General and administrative. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and other personnel-related expenses of our finance, human resources, information systems, corporate development and other administrative personnel, as well as professional fees, depreciation and amortization and related expenses. General and administrative expenses also include non-cash compensation, which is the result of the issuance of common stock, warrants and stock options at a price deemed to be less than market value to employees and outside consultants for services rendered, and goodwill amortization which relates to the acquisition of Magma in October, 2000. General and administrative expenses increased 47.0% to $10.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2001 from $6.8 million for the year ended December 30, 2000. The increase is due primarily to the write-off of a $3.0 million loan to a strategic partner, Portsmith, Inc., that we believed had become uncollectible. Excluding the write-off, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenue increased to 24.6% for the year ended December 31, 2001 from 24.2% for the year ended December 31, 2000. Interest, net. Interest, net consists primarily of interest earned on our cash balances and short-term investments, net of interest expense. For the year ended December 31, 2000, net interest expense consists of interest on our bank revolving lines of credit and promissory notes as well as our subordinated debt and convertible debentures, partially offset by interest earned on our cash balances and short-term investments. Net interest income for year ended December 31, 2001 was $1.3 million compared to $0.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2000. The change was primarily due to the payoff of debt with our IPO proceeds during 2000 and interest earned on our IPO proceeds during 2000 and 2001. Non-cash deferred loan costs. Non-cash deferred loan costs decreased to zero for the year ended December 31, 2001 from $2.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2000. The decrease was the result of the balance of deferred loan costs that were expensed in 2000 when the associated debt was repaid with a portion of our IPO proceeds. Income taxes. We have incurred losses from inception to date; therefore, no provision for income taxes was required for the years ended December 31, 2001 or 2000. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES On June 30, 2000, our registration statement on Form S-1 registering our initial public offering, or IPO, of 4,000,000 shares of common stock became effective. At the offering price of $12.00 per share, we received proceeds of approximately $43.1 million, net of underwriting discounts, commissions and other expenses, from the IPO. As part of the IPO, we granted the underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to 600,000 additional shares of common stock to cover over-allotments, if any. On July 28, 2000, the underwriters exercised their 30-day option in full and purchased 600,000 additional shares of common stock, resulting in additional IPO proceeds of approximately $6.7 million, net of underwriting discounts, commissions and other expenses. Since inception, we have funded our operations primarily through debt and equity financing, as the cash consumed by our operating activities has exceeded cash generated by revenues. At December 31, 2002 we had approximately $3.2 million and $5.6 million in cash and cash equivalents and working capital, respectively. At December 31, 2001 we had approximately $14.8 million and $19.4 million in cash and cash equivalents and working capital, respectively. Our operating activities used cash of $7.6 million, $12.8 million and $14.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Net cash used in operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2002 was primarily attributed to our net loss and increases in inventories, prepaid expenses and other current assets. Cash used in operating activities was offset, in part, by a decrease in accounts receivable of $2.3 million, non-cash expenses such as depreciation of property and equipment and amortization of intangible assets of $1.3 million, write-off of impaired goodwill of $5.6 million, acquisition 23 of in-process research and development, write-down of tooling equipment, amortization of deferred compensation and provision for obsolete inventory. During 2002, inventories grew by approximately $1.2 million compared to inventory levels at December 31, 2001 including the write-down of excess and obsolete inventory of approximately $1.2 million. Other operating expenses, such as salaries and wages, marketing and selling, professional services fees, engineering related expenses, and building and facility costs in excess of revenues contributed to our net loss for 2002 and resulted in a net use of cash. Our investing activities used cash of approximately $4.3 million, $2.8 million and $6.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2002, cash used in investing activities was for the acquisitions of Portsmith, Cutting Edge and iGo, and the purchase of property and equipment. These uses were partially offset by the sale of an investment during 2002. Our net financing activities provided cash of approximately $230,000 for the year ended December 31, 2002, used cash of approximately $17,000 for the year ended December 31, 2001 and generated cash of approximately $46.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2000. Net cash was provided by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2002 primarily from repayments of stock subscription receivables and net proceeds from the sale of common stock. At December 31, 2002, we had approximately $85.9 million of federal, foreign and state net operating loss carryforwards which expire at various dates. We anticipate that the sale of common stock in the IPO coupled with prior sales of common stock will cause an annual limitation on the use of our net operating loss carryforwards pursuant to the change in ownership provisions of Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. This limitation is expected to have a material effect on the timing of our ability to use the net operating loss carryforward in the future. Additionally, our ability to use the net operating loss carryforward is dependent upon our level of future profitability, which cannot be determined. At December 31, 2002, we had future commitments relating to various non-cancelable operating leases totaling approximately $2.7 million, payable over the next six years, with approximately $560,000 payable in 2003, $607,000 payable in 2004, $402,000 payable in 2005, $410,000 payable in 2006, $418,000 payable in 2007, and $320,000 payable thereafter. At December 31, 2002, we had debt obligations payable over the next three years, with approximately $330,000 payable in 2003, $330,000 payable in 2004, and $330,000 payable in 2005. At December 31, 2002, we had future commitments relating to payments of earn-out to former Portsmith stockholders in connection with our February 2002 acquisition of Portsmith. The earnout is made up of two components. The first is calculated using a formula based on Portsmith's revenue and net income performance, adjusted for certain items, for the year 2002. The Company has recorded a long-term liability in the amount of $725,000 as an estimate of this component of the earnout. The second component of the earnout is based on a percentage of the fair market value of Portsmith as a stand-alone entity as of December 31, 2002, as mutually agreed upon by the Company and the former Portsmith stockholders. In the event that the parties are not able to come to an agreement, the fair market value will be determined by an Independent Financial Expert as defined in the agreement. As the amount of this component of the earnout is not yet determinable or issuable, the Company has recorded no liability for it. Earn-out payments may be made in cash or shares of stock, at our discretion, with total shares of stock issued to former Portsmith stockholders not to exceed 3,023,863 shares. We anticipate the payment of earn-out will be made entirely in shares of common stock and that no future cash payments will be required. INTERNAL SOURCES OF LIQUIDITY During the year ended December 31, 2002, we began several initiatives to address our overall business structure, including evaluating our key product lines, distribution channels, our cost structure, and cash management. In connection with these initiatives, we completed three acquisitions during 2002 and completed development of a key new combination AC/DC power adapter product. In the fourth quarter of 2002, we began to see favorable results from these efforts. We believe the continued benefits of these 24 measures will allow us to generate sufficient operating funds from internal sources to satisfy our liquidity requirements in 2003. For 2002, our net loss of $18.9 million, adjusted for non-working-capital-related expenses of $10.1 million, was approximately $8.8 million. Changes in working capital, net of current assets and liabilities acquired, resulted in cash flow generation of approximately $1.2 million during 2002. We used net cash from investing and financing activities of approximately $4.0 million, primarily relating to our acquisitions during 2002, which resulted in our net cash used of approximately $11.6 million. For 2003, we anticipate further improvement in our operating performance as a result of the 2002 initiatives. In the fourth quarter of 2002, our revenues grew to approximately $10.3 million from $7.4 million in the third quarter of 2002. With the introduction of our new combination AC/DC power adapter product in the first quarter of 2003, we project steady revenue growth through 2003. We also project improvement in gross margins as increased sales volumes are spread over our semi-fixed operating overhead structure and with the introduction of new, higher margin products. We project operating expenses will decrease from the fourth quarter 2002 level of approximately $5.7 million into the first quarter of 2003 as we continue to realize cost savings from our acquisition integration initiatives. We expect operating expenses to remain consistent throughout 2003. As a result of planned increases in sales, improvements in gross margins, and leveraging of our operating expenses structure, we project to generate cash working profits in 2003. However, we expect to use cash in 2003 to finance growth in accounts receivable and inventories associated with our projected revenue growth, capital expenditures and repayments of long-term debt. EXTERNAL SOURCES OF LIQUIDITY In October 2002, we entered into a $10,000,000 line of credit with a bank. The line bears interest at prime plus 1.25% (5.5% at December 31, 2002), interest only payments due monthly, with final payment of interest and principal on July 31, 2004. The line of credit is secured by all of our assets. The line of credit is subject to financial covenants, certain of which we were not in compliance with as of December 31, 2002. However, on March 26, 2002, the terms and covenants of the line of credit were modified, and we are currently in compliance with the modified covenants. We have not drawn against the line of credit as of March 31, 2003. Under the terms of the line, we can borrow up to 80% of eligible accounts receivable, offset by a $1.25 million stop-loss provision. At February 28, 2003, our net borrowing base capacity was approximately $1.9 million. We expect our borrowing base will increase throughout 2003 as a result of projected growth in accounts receivable associated with projected sales growth. In January 2003, we raised $1.2 million from an offering of preferred stock. Specifically, we issued and sold 865,051 shares of newly designated Series E preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share ("Series E Stock"), at a purchase price of $0.7225 per share, and 729,407 shares of newly designated Series F preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share ("Series F Stock"), at a purchase price of $0.85 per share. In connection with this sale, we also issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of 559,084 shares of our common stock. The warrants issued to holders of Series E Stock permit them to purchase an aggregate of 216,263 shares of common stock, at an exercise price of $0.867 per share and the warrants issued to holders of Series F Stock permit them to purchase an aggregate of 342,821 shares of common stock, at an exercise price of $1.02 per share. The Series E Stock was purchased by a single non-affiliated investor, while the Series F Stock was purchased by certain of our officers, directors and affiliates including Charles Mollo, Jeffrey Harris, Larry Carr, Joan Brubacher, Timothy Jeffries, Janice Breeze-Mollo, Oxley LLLP, New Vistas Investment Corporation and New Horizons Enterprises. We believe that our cash and cash equivalents on hand and cash sources, both internal and external, discussed above will be sufficient to satisfy our expected cash and working capital requirements for the next twelve months. 25 INFLATION We do not believe that inflation has a material effect on our operations. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In June 2002, the FASB issued Statement 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations" ("Statement 143"). Statement 143 requires us to record the fair value of an asset retirement obligation as a liability in the period in which we incur a legal obligation associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets that result from the acquisition, construction, development and/or normal use of the assets and to record a corresponding asset which is depreciated over the life of the asset. Subsequent to the initial measurement of the asset retirement obligation, the obligation will be adjusted at the end of each period to reflect the passage of time and changes in the estimated future cash flows underlying the obligation. We were required to adopt Statement 143 on January 1, 2003. Statement 143 is not expected to have a material impact on our results of operations or financial position. In June 2002, the FASB issued Statement 146, "Accounting for Exit or Disposal Activities" ("Statement 146"). Statement 146 addresses the recognition, measurement and reporting of costs associated with exit and disposal activities, including restructuring activities. Statement 146 also addresses recognition of certain costs related to terminating a contract that is not a capital lease, costs to consolidate facilities or relocate employees and termination of benefits provided to employees that are involuntarily terminated under the terms of a one-time benefit arrangement that is not an ongoing benefit arrangement or an individual deferred compensation contract. Statement 146 is effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002. Statement 146 is not expected to have a material impact on our results of operations or financial position. In November 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 45, "Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others" ("Interpretation 45"). Interpretation 45 describes the disclosures to be made by a guarantor in interim and annual financial statements about obligations under certain guarantees the guarantor has issued. It also clarifies that a guarantor is required to recognize, at the inception of a guarantee, a liability for the fair value of the obligation undertaken in issuing the guarantee. The initial recognition and measurement provisions of Interpretation 45 are applicable on a prospective basis to guarantees issued or modified after December 15, 2002. The Company has adopted the disclosure provisions of Interpretation 45, effective December 31, 2002. While the Company has various indemnity obligations included in contracts entered into in the normal course of business, these obligations are primarily in the form of indemnities that could result in immaterial increases of future costs, but do not represent significant commitments or contingent liabilities of the indebtedness of others. In November 2002, the Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") reached a consensus on Issue No. 00-21, "Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables." EITF Issue No. 00-21 provides guidance on how to account for arrangements that involve the delivery or performance of multiple products, services and/or rights to use assets. The provisions of EITF Issue No. 00-21 will apply to revenue arrangements entered into in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2003. The provisions of EITF Issue No. 00-21 are not expected to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements. In December 2002, the FASB issued Statement No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation -- Transition and Disclosure, an amendment to FASB Statement 123" (" Statement 148"). Statement 148 provides alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, Statement 148 amends the disclosure requirements of Statement 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," to require prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results. The Company adopted the disclosure provisions of Statement 148 effective December 31, 2002. 26 In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities" ("Interpretation 46"). Interpretation 46 clarifies the application of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, "Consolidated Financial Statements," to certain entities in which equity investors do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. The recognition and measurement provisions of Interpretation 46 are effective for newly created variable interest entities formed after January 31, 2003, and for existing variable interest entities, on the first interim or annual reporting period beginning after June 15, 2003. The Company will adopt the provisions of Interpretation 46 for existing variable interest entities on July 1, 2003, which is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial statements. FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS The above discussions contain forward-looking statements based on current expectations, and we assume no obligation to update these statements. Because actual results may differ materially from expectations, we caution readers not to place undue reliance on these statements. These statements are based on our estimates, projections, beliefs, and assumptions, and are not guarantees of future performance. A number of factors could cause future results to differ materially from historical results, or from results or outcomes currently expected or sought by us. These factors include: reduced demand for our products; the loss of one or more of our significant customers; an inability to increase our market share; difficulties in maintaining our technology and supplier alliances; and a continued downturn in general economic conditions. These factors and the other matters discussed above under the heading "Disclosure Concerning Forward-Looking Statements" in Part I of this Report may cause future results to differ materially from historical results, or from results or outcomes we currently expect or seek. ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK We are exposed to certain market risks in the ordinary course of our business. These risks result primarily from changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. In addition, our international operations are subject to risks related to differing economic conditions, changes in political climate, differing tax structures and other regulations and restrictions. To date we have not utilized derivative financial instruments or derivative commodity instruments. We do not expect to employ these or other strategies to hedge market risk in the foreseeable future. We invest our cash in money market funds, which are subject to minimal credit and market risk. We believe that the market risks associated with these financial instruments are immaterial. 27 ITEM 8.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Mobility Electronics, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2002 and 2001, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity and comprehensive income (loss), and cash flows for each of the years in the three- year period ended December 31, 2002. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Mobility Electronics, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2002 and 2001, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2002, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 13, 2002, 2001 AND 2000 (1) NATURE OF BUSINESS Mobility Electronics, Inc. and subsidiaries (collectively, "Mobility" or the "Company") formerly known as Electronics Accessory Specialists International, Inc., was formed on May 4, 1995. Mobility was originally formed as a limited liability corporation; however, in August 1996 the Company became a C Corporation incorporated in the State of Delaware. Mobility manufactures and/or distributes AC and DC power adapters, portable computer docking stations, handheld device cradles, handheld software, monitor stands and other portable computing products and solutions. Mobility also designs, develops and markets connectivity and remote PCI bus technology and products for the computer industry and a broad range of related embedded processor applications. Mobility distributes products in the United States of America, Canada and Europe. During the year ended December 31, 2002, the Company began several initiatives to address their overall business structure, including evaluating key product lines, distribution channels, cost structure, and cash management. In connection with these initiatives, the Company completed three acquisitions during 2002 and completed development of a key new combination AC/DC power adapter product. In the fourth quarter of 2002, the Company began to see favorable results from these efforts. In addition, the Company has available cash sources from financing activities through a $10.0 million line of credit with a bank (as more fully discussed in Note 10) and a preferred stock offering of $1.2 million completed in January 2003 (as more fully discussed in Note 21). The Company believes the continued benefits of these measures will allow them to generate sufficient operating funds from internal and external sources to satisfy their liquidity requirements in 2003. (2) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (a) USE OF ESTIMATES The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make a number of 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, the Company evaluates its estimates, including those related to bad debts, sales returns, inventories, warranty obligations, and contingencies and litigation. The Company bases its estimates 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. The Company believes its critical accounting policies, consisting of revenue recognition and goodwill affect its more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of its consolidated financial statements. These policies are discussed below. (b) PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION The 2000 consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Mobility and its wholly owned subsidiary, Magma, Inc., from October 2, 2000 (date of acquisition) to December 31, 2000. The 2001 consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Mobility and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Magma, Inc. and Mobility Europe Holdings, Inc. The 2002 consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Mobility and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Magma, Inc., Portsmith, Inc., which includes Portsmith, Inc. from February 1, 2002 (date of acquisition) and Mobility 2001 Limited, Cutting Edge Software, Inc. from August 20, 2002 (date of acquisition) and iGo Direct Corporation from September 3, 35 MOBILITY ELECTRONICS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) 2002 (date of acquisition) collectively to December 31, 2002. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. (c) REVENUE RECOGNITION Revenue from product sales is recognized upon shipment and transfer of ownership from the Company or contract manufacturer to the customer. Allowances for sales returns and credits are provided for in the same period the related sales are recorded. Should the actual return or sales credit rates differ from the Company's estimates, revisions to the estimated allowance for sales returns and credits may be required. Revenue from technology transfer fees, consisting of the licensing and transferring of Split Bridge(R) and other technology and architecture, and related training and implementation support services, is recognized over the term of the respective sales or license agreement. Certain license agreements contain no stated termination date, whereby the Company recognizes the revenue over the estimated life of the license. Should the actual life differ from the estimates, revisions to the estimated life may be required. (d) CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS All short-term investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and amounts on deposit with financial institutions. (e) ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of the Company's customers to make required payments. The allowance is assessed on a regular basis by management and is based upon management's periodic review of the collectibility of the receivables with respect to historical experience. If the financial condition of the Company's customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required. (f) INVENTORIES Inventories consist of finished goods and component parts purchased partially and fully assembled for computer accessory items. The Company has all normal risks and rewards of its inventory held by contract manufacturers. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market. Inventories include material and overhead costs. Overhead costs are allocated to inventory based on a percentage of material costs. The Company monitors usage reports to determine if the carrying value of any items should be adjusted due to lack of demand for the items. The Company adjusts down the inventory for estimated obsolescence or unmarketable inventory equal to the difference between the cost of inventory and the estimated market value based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions. If actual market conditions are less favorable than those projected by management, additional inventory write-downs may be required. (g) PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT Property and equipment are stated at cost. Equipment held under capital leases is stated at the present value of future minimum lease payments. Depreciation on furniture, fixtures and equipment is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets ranging from two to seven years. Tooling is capitalized at cost and is depreciated over a two-year period. Equipment held under 36 MOBILITY ELECTRONICS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) capital leases and leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the lease term or estimated useful lives of the assets. (h) GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS In June 2001, the FASB issued Statement No. 141, "Business Combinations" ("Statement 141") and Statement No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" ("Statement 142"). Statement 141 requires that the purchase method of accounting be used for all business combinations. Statement 141 specifies criteria that intangible assets acquired on a business combination must meet to be recognized and reported separately from goodwill. Statement 142 requires that goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives no longer be amortized, but instead tested for impairment at least annually in accordance with the provisions of Statement 142. Statement 142 also requires that intangible assets with estimable useful lives be amortized over their respective estimated useful lives to their estimated residual values, and reviewed for impairment in accordance with "Accounting For The Impairment Or Disposal Of Long Lived Assets" ("Statement 144"). The Company adopted the provisions of Statement 141 as of July 1, 2002, and Statement 142 as of January 1, 2002. Goodwill and intangible assets determined to have an indefinite useful life acquired in a purchase business combination completed after June 30, 2001, are not amortized. Goodwill and indefinite useful life intangible assets acquired in business combinations completed before July 1, 2002 continued to be amortized through December 31, 2002. Amortization of such assets ceased on January 1, 2002 upon adoption of Statement 142. Upon adoption of Statement 142, the Company was required to evaluate its existing intangible assets and goodwill that were acquired in purchase business combinations, and to make any necessary reclassifications in order to conform with the new classification criteria in Statement 141 for recognition separate from goodwill. The Company was also required to reassess the useful lives and residual values of all intangible assets acquired, and make any necessary amortization period adjustments by the end of the first interim period after adoption. For intangible assets identified as having indefinite useful lives, the Company was required to test those intangible assets for impairment in accordance with the provisions of Statement 142 within the first interim period. Impairment was measured as the excess of carrying value over the fair value of an intangible asset with an indefinite life. The results of this analysis did not require the Company to recognize an impairment loss. Statement 142 defines a reporting unit as an operating segment or one level below an operating segment (referred to as a component). As the Company has only one operating business segment (see Note 2(q)), the Company has defined each of its product lines, routes to market, and geographics as components. Further, Statement 142 states that two or more components of an operating segment shall be aggregated and deemed a single reporting unit if the components have similar economic characteristics. The Company considers each of its components to have similar economic characteristics, as each component sells computer peripheral products which are produced using similar methods to OEM and computer product distribution customers. Accordingly, the Company has determined that its operating segment is one reporting unit as of January 1, 2002 under Statement 142. At January 1, 2002, the carrying value of the reporting unit goodwill was $5,627,000. The Company compared the implied fair value of the reporting unit goodwill with the carrying amount of the reporting unit goodwill, both of which were measured as of the date of adoption. The implied fair value of goodwill was determined by allocating the fair value of the reporting unit to all of the assets (recognized and unrecognized) and liabilities of the reporting unit in a manner similar to a purchase price allocation, in accordance with Statement 141. The residual fair value after this allocation was the implied fair value of the reporting unit goodwill. The carrying value of goodwill exceeded the fair value of the reporting unit and the Company recorded an impairment loss of $5,627,000 during 2002. 37 MOBILITY ELECTRONICS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) Intangible assets include the cost of patents, trademarks and non-compete agreements, as well as identifiable intangible assets acquired through business combinations including trade names, customer lists and software technology. Intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated economic lives of two to 10 years. (i) IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS In October 2001, the FASB issued Statement 144, which provides a single accounting model for long-lived assets to be disposed of. Statement 144 also changes the criteria for classifying an asset as held for sale; and broadens the scope of businesses to be disposed of that qualify for reporting as discontinued operations and changes the timing of recognizing losses on such operations. The Company adopted Statement 144 on January 1, 2002. The adoption of Statement 144 did not affect the Company's financial statements. Prior to the adoption of Statement 144, the Company accounted for long-lived assets in accordance with Statement 121, "Accounting for Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of." In accordance with Statement 144, long-lived assets, such as property and equipment, and purchased intangibles subject to amortization, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to be estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Assets to be disposed of would be separately presented in the balance sheet and reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell, and are no longer depreciated. The assets and liabilities of a disposed group classified as held for sale would be presented separately in the appropriate asset and liability sections of the balance sheet. Recoverability of long-lived assets is dependent upon, among other things, the Company's ability to continue to achieve profitability, in order to meet its obligations when they become due. In the opinion of management, based upon current information, long-lived assets will be covered over the period of benefit. (j) WARRANTY COSTS The Company provides limited warranties on certain of its products for periods generally not exceeding three years. The Company accrues for the estimated cost of warranties at the time revenue is recognized. The accrual is based on the Company's actual claim experience. Should actual warranty claim rates, or service delivery costs differ from our estimates, revisions to the estimated warranty liability would be required. (k) INCOME TAXES The Company utilizes the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the asset and liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce its deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. While the Company has considered future taxable income and ongoing 38 MOBILITY ELECTRONICS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) prudent and feasible tax planning strategies in assessing the need for the valuation allowance, in the event the Company was to determine that it would be able to realize its deferred tax assets in the future in excess of the net recorded amount, an adjustment to the valuation allowance and deferred tax benefit would increase income in the period such determination was made. (l) NET LOSS PER COMMON SHARE Basic loss per share is computed by dividing loss available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted loss per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted to common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings or loss of the Company. The assumed exercise of outstanding stock options and warrants have been excluded from the calculations of diluted net loss per share as their effect is antidilutive. (m) EMPLOYEE STOCK OPTIONS The Company has elected to follow Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (APB 25) and related interpretations in accounting for its employee stock options and to adopt the "disclosure only" alternative treatment under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (Statement 123). Statement 123 requires the use of fair value option valuation models that were not developed for use in valuing employee stock options. Under Statement 123, deferred compensation is recorded for the excess of the fair value of the stock on the date of the option grant, over the exercise price of the option. The deferred compensation is amortized over the vesting period of the option. Had the Company determined compensation cost based on the fair value at the grant date for its stock options under Statement 123, the Company's net loss and net loss per share would have been increased to the pro forma amount indicated below (amounts in thousands, except per share): <Table> <Caption> YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, ------------------------------ 2002 2001 2000 -------- -------- -------- Net loss applicable to common stockholders: As reported.......................................... $(18,863) $(19,684) $(15,335) Total stock-based employees compensation expense determined under fair-value-based method for all rewards, net of tax................................ (902) (624) (794) -------- -------- -------- Pro forma............................................ $(19,765) $(20,308) $(16,129) ======== ======== ======== Net loss per share -- basic and diluted: As reported.......................................... $ (1.11) $ (1.33) $ (1.55) ======== ======== ======== Pro forma............................................ $ (1.16) $ (1.37) $ (1.63) ======== ======== ======== </Table> (n) FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The Company's financial instruments include cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and notes payable. Due to the short-term nature of cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable, the fair value of these instruments approximates their recorded value. In the opinion of management, based upon current information, the fair value of notes payable approximates market value. The Company does not have material financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk, with the exception of operating leases. See Note 12. 39 MOBILITY ELECTRONICS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) (o) RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT The cost of research and development is charged to expense as incurred. (p) FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION The financial statements of the Company's foreign subsidiary are measured using the local currency as the functional currency. Assets and liabilities of this subsidiary are translated at exchange rates as of the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at average rates of exchange in effect during the year. The resulting cumulative translation adjustments have been recorded as comprehensive income (loss), a separate component of stockholders' equity. (q) SEGMENT REPORTING The Company is engaged in the business of the sale of computer peripheral products. While the Company's chief operating decision maker (CODM) evaluates revenues and gross profits based on products lines, routes to market and geographies (see Note 17), the CODM only evaluates operating results for the Company taken as a whole. As a result, in accordance with FASB Statement No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information", the Company has determined it has one operating business segment, the sale of computer peripheral products. (r) RECLASSIFICATIONS Certain amounts included in the 2001 and 2000 consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2002 financial statement presentation. (s) RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In June 2001, the FASB issued Statement No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations" ("Statement 143"). Statement 143 requires us to record the fair value of an asset retirement obligation as a liability in the period in which we incur a legal obligation associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets that result from the acquisition, construction, development and/or normal use of the assets and to record a corresponding asset which is depreciated over the life of the asset. Subsequent to the initial measurement of the asset retirement obligation, the obligation will be adjusted at the end of each period to reflect the passage of time and changes in the estimated future cash flows underlying the obligation. We were required to adopt Statement 143 on January 1, 2003. Statement 143 is not expected to have a material impact on our results of operations or financial position. In June 2002, the FASB issued Statement No. 146, "Accounting for Exit or Disposal Activities" ("Statement 146"). Statement 146 addresses the recognition, measurement and reporting of costs associated with exit and disposal activities, including restructuring activities. Statement 146 also addresses recognition of certain costs related to terminating a contract that is not a capital lease, costs to consolidate facilities or relocate employees and termination of benefits provided to employees that are involuntarily terminated under the terms of a one-time benefit arrangement that is not an ongoing benefit arrangement or an individual deferred compensation contract. Statement 146 is effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002. Statement 146 is not expected to have a material impact on our results of operations or financial position. In November 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 45, "Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others" ("Interpretation 45"). Interpretation 45 describes the disclosures to be made by a guarantor in interim and annual 40 MOBILITY ELECTRONICS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) financial statements about obligations under certain guarantees the guarantor has issued. It also clarifies that a guarantor is required to recognize, at the inception of a guarantee, a liability for the fair value of the obligation undertaken in issuing the guarantee. The initial recognition and measurement provisions of Interpretation 45 are applicable on a prospective basis to guarantees issued or modified after December 15, 2002. The Company has adopted the disclosure provisions of Interpretation 45 effective December 31, 2002 while the Company has various indemnity obligations included in contracts entered into in the normal course of business, these obligations are primarily in the form of indemnities that could result in immaterial increases of future costs, but do not represent significant commitments or contingent liabilities of the indebtedness of others. In November 2002, the Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") reached a consensus on Issue No. 00-21, "Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables." EITF Issue No. 00-21 provides guidance on how to account for arrangements that involve the delivery or performance of multiple products, services and/or rights to use assets. The provisions of EITF Issue No. 00-21 will apply to revenue arrangements entered into in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2003. The provisions of EITF Issue No. 00-21 are not expected to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements. In December 2002, the FASB issued Statement No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation -- Transition and Disclosure, an amendment to FASB Statement 123" ("Statement 148"). Statement 148 provides alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, Statement 148 amends the disclosure requirements of Statement 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," to require prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results. The Company adopted the disclosure provisions of Statement 148 effective December 31, 2002. In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities" ("Interpretation 46"). Interpretation 46 clarifies the application of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, "Consolidated Financial Statements," to certain entities in which equity investors do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. The recognition and measurement provisions of Interpretation 46 are effective for newly created variable interest entities formed after January 31, 2003, and for existing variable interest entities, on the first interim or annual reporting period beginning after June 15, 2003. The Company will adopt the provisions of Interpretation 46 for existing variable interest entities on July 1, 2003, which is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial statements. (3) ACQUISITIONS (a) MAGMA On October 2, 2000, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of Mesa Ridge Technologies, Inc., doing business as MAGMA, a California corporation ("Magma"). Magma manufactures and markets connectivity products (serial products and PCI slot expansion systems) to the music, video and satellite communications industries. The purchase price consisted of $2,000,000 in cash and 562,098 shares of Common Stock, valued at $4,720,000. In addition, contingent earn out payments were to be made to the selling stockholders depending upon Magma's performance over the two years following the date of acquisition, which were measured and payable on each anniversary date of the acquisition. During 2001, the Company issued 110,855 shares of common stock (valued at $131,000) as settlement of the first earn out payment under this purchase agreement. The Company issued no shares of common stock in 2002 as settlement of the second earn out payment under the purchase agreement. 41 MOBILITY ELECTRONICS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) The acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase and, accordingly, the purchase price has been allocated to the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed based upon the estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. The acquisition resulted in goodwill of $6,211,000. Goodwill, net of accumulated amortization, was $5,627,000 at December 31, 2001. During 2002, in connection with the adoption of Statement 142, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $5,627,000 as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle. (b) MOBILITY EUROPE HOLDINGS, INC. On January 1, 2001, the Company purchased essentially all of the assets of its European distributor for $282,000 cash and assumed its leases, employee contracts and other business contracts in order to better facilitate the sale of the Company's products in Europe. The European operations have been organized as Mobility 2001 Limited, a subsidiary of Mobility Europe Holdings, Inc., which was formed in January 2001 under the laws of the state of Delaware and is owned entirely by the Company. Mobility Europe Holdings, Inc. is now called Portsmith, Inc. The acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase and, accordingly, the purchase price has been allocated to the assets acquired based upon the estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. No goodwill resulted from the purchase. (c) CNF MOBILE SOLUTIONS On May 18, 2001 the Company acquired certain assets, including a product line, inventory related to that product line, and patent rights, of CNF Mobile Solutions, a manufacturer of computer peripheral products, for $685,000 cash. $585,000 of the total purchase price has been capitalized as inventory and intangibles and the remaining $100,000 has been recorded as a component of operating expenses. The acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase and, accordingly, the purchase price has been allocated to the assets acquired based upon the estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. No goodwill resulted from the purchase. (d) PORTSMITH As of February 1, 2002, the Company acquired Portsmith, Inc. ("Portsmith") through a merger of Portsmith with the Company's subsidiary, Mobility Europe Holdings, Inc., now Portsmith, Inc. Portsmith provides connectivity solutions for handheld computing devices. Under the terms of the merger agreement, the Company issued 800,000 shares of its common stock, valued at $1.35 per common share, to the former Portsmith stockholders of which 400,000 shares were held in escrow. The release of the escrowed shares to the former Portsmith stockholders was contingent upon certain performance criteria of Portsmith during the first year after the acquisition, which was achieved. Accordingly, the escrowed shares were released in December 2002. In addition, earn-out payments may be made to the former Portsmith stockholders depending upon Portsmith's performance during the first year after the acquisition, through December 31, 2002. Earn out payments may be made in cash or shares of stock, at the Company's discretion, with total shares of common stock issued to former Portsmith stockholders not to exceed 3,023,863 shares. The earnout is made up of two components. The first is calculated using a formula based on Portsmith's revenue and net income performance, adjusted for certain items, for the year 2002. The Company has recorded a long-term liability in the amount of $725,000 as an estimate of this component of the earnout. The second component of the earnout is based on a percentage of the fair market value of Portsmith as a stand-alone entity as of December 31, 2002, as mutually agreed upon by the Company and the former Portsmith stockholders. In the event that the parties are not able to come to an agreement, the fair market value will be determined by an Independent Financial Expert as defined in the agreement. As the amount of this component of the earnout is not yet determinable or issuable, the Company has recorded no liability for it. 42 MOBILITY ELECTRONICS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) Richard C. Liggitt, a former stockholder of Portsmith, filed a claim against Portsmith and certain of its officers and directors alleging (a) fraud in connection with merger negotiations that led to the execution of a merger agreement between a company owned by Mr. Liggitt and Portsmith, (b) wrongful termination of his employment with Portsmith, and (c) breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing under his employment agreement with Portsmith. During November 2002, the parties reached a settlement. Under the terms of the settlement, the Company paid $10,000 upon approval of the settlement by the Court. Contemporaneously, the Company agreed to pay Mr. Liggitt an aggregate of $990,000 in exchange for cancellation of all of Mr. Liggitt's rights as a former shareholder of Portsmith under the merger agreement between the Company and Portsmith, including, but not limited to, the 53,647 shares of the Company's common stock Mr. Liggitt received in connection with the merger, the 53,646 shares of the Company's common stock that had been held in escrow that Mr. Liggitt would have otherwise been entitled to receive and Mr. Liggitt's share in any potential earn-out payments. The $990,000 will be paid in the form of a convertible subordinated promissory note bearing interest at four percent per year, payable in quarterly installments of principal and interest beginning in January 2003, through December 2005. The outstanding principal of the promissory note may be converted by Mr. Liggitt at any time into shares of the Company's common stock, at a conversion price of $3.00 per share. In connection with this settlement, the potential earn-outs under the merger agreement between the Company and Portsmith will be reduced by $480,000, plus a certain additional amount for fees and expenses and a tax settlement, and Mr. Liggitt's share of the potential earn-outs will be eliminated. The acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase and, accordingly, the purchase price has been allocated to the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed, based upon the estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. Goodwill of $1,783,000 was recorded as a result of the transaction. The purchase price of $1,487,000, plus acquisition costs of $122,000, was allocated as follows (amounts in thousands): <Table> Purchase price: Common stock.............................................. $ 762 Estimate of earn out...................................... 725 Costs of acquisition...................................... 122 ------- $ 1,609 ======= Assets acquired and liabilities assumed: Current assets............................................ $ 2,195 Equipment................................................. 31 Other assets.............................................. 15 Goodwill.................................................. 1,783 Current liabilities.......................................

("Cutting Edge Software") through a merger of Cutting Edge Software with a subsidiary of the Company, CES Acquisition, Inc., and the subsequent merger of such subsidiary with another subsidiary of the Company, CES II Acquisition, Inc., now Cutting Edge Software, Inc. Cutting Edge Software provides software solutions for handheld computing devices. Under the terms of the merger agreement, the Company paid cash of $1,547,500 and issued 796,394 shares of its common stock, valued at $1.8835 per common share, 43 MOBILITY ELECTRONICS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) to the former Cutting Edge Software stockholder. In addition, earn out payments may be made to such stockholder depending upon Cutting Edge Software's performance during each of the five years following the acquisition date. The earn-out payments are to be made 50% in cash and 50% in shares of company stock, with total shares of common stock issued to the former Cutting Edge Software stockholder not to exceed 3,263,800 shares. The acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase and, accordingly, the purchase price has been allocated to the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed, based upon the estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. Goodwill of $1,958,000 was recorded as a result of the transaction. The purchase price of $3,047,500, plus acquisition costs of $221,000, was allocated as follows (amounts in thousands): <Table> Purchase price: Cash...................................................... $1,548 Common stock.............................................. 1,500 Costs of acquisition...................................... 221 ------ $3,269 ====== Assets acquired and liabilities assumed: Current assets............................................ $ 123 Equipment................................................. 48 Intangible assets......................................... 643 Goodwill.................................................. 1,958 Current liabilities.......................................

(f) iGO On September 3, 2002, the Company completed its acquisition of iGo Corporation ("iGo"), as announced on March 25, 2002 and as amended on July 18, 2002, through the merger of iGo Corporation with the Company's subsidiary, IGOC Acquisition, Inc., now iGo Direct Corporation. iGo is a direct marketer of computer peripheral equipment. Under the terms of the merger agreement, the Company paid cash of $3,250,000 and issued 2,600,000 shares of its common stock, valued at $1.305 per common share, to the former iGo stockholders. Additional consideration of $1,000,000 and 500,000 shares of the Company's common stock may also be paid to the former iGo stockholders on the first anniversary date of the merger, the payment of which is contingent upon certain performance criteria. The acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase and, accordingly, the purchase price has been allocated to the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed, based upon the estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. Goodwill of $4,524,000 was recorded as a result of the transaction. 44 MOBILITY ELECTRONICS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) The purchase price of $6,643,000, plus acquisition costs of $1,100,000, was allocated as follows (amounts in thousands): <Table> Purchase price: Cash...................................................... $ 3,250 Common stock.............................................. 3,393 Costs of acquisition...................................... 1,100 ------- $ 7,743 ======= Assets acquired and liabilities assumed: Current assets............................................ $ 3,690 Equipment................................................. 893 Intangible assets......................................... 411 Other assets.............................................. 38 Goodwill.................................................. 4,524 Current liabilities.......................................

Under this accounting standard, goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are no longer subject to amortization but are tested for impairment at least annually. Amortization is still required for identifiable intangible assets with finite lives. Statement 142 also requires the completion of the transitional impairment test of the recorded goodwill as of the date this accounting standard is adopted. The Company completed the first step of the transitional impairment test during the year ended December 31, 2002, noting an indication of impairment associated with the recorded goodwill balance of $5,627,000 as of January 1, 2002. As part of the transitional impairment test, the Company identified one reporting unit within its one operating business segment. The Company then completed the second step of the transitional impairment test. The Company has recorded a goodwill impairment loss of $5,627,000 as a result of completing its transitional impairment test, and has recognized this loss as the effect of a change in accounting principle as of January 1, 2002 in accordance with Statement 142. This impairment loss was determined based on a comparison of the fair value of the Company with its carrying amount, including goodwill that resulted from prior business acquisitions. The results of the comparison and loss measurement indicated that goodwill existing at the date of adoption of this accounting standard was fully impaired. In connection with its adoption of Statement 142, the Company reassessed previously recognized intangible assets and determined their classification and useful lives were appropriate. As a result of the acquisitions of Portsmith, Cutting Edge Software and iGo, the Company has recorded goodwill of $8,265,000 during 2002.

The warrant was initially exercisable to purchase shares of Series A preferred stock equal to 10% of the fully diluted capital stock at an aggregate exercise price of $764,000. However, the exercise price and number of shares to be acquired upon the exercise of the warrant was to be adjusted if the company issued any capital stock or stock equivalent other than with respect to the exercise of the warrant at a price of less than $2,750 per share. During 2001, the Company paid $764,000 to exercise the warrant and the investment in Series A preferred stock is stated at a cost of $1,964,000 as a component of other assets at December 31, 2001. In July 2002, the Company liquidated its investment in such preferred stock, resulting in net cash proceeds of $1,870,000. The Company recorded a loss on the sale of investment of $94,000 in connection with this transaction. (10) LINE OF CREDIT In October 2002, the Company entered into a $10,000,000 line of credit with a bank. The line bears interest at prime plus 1.25% (5.5% at December 31, 2002), interest only payments are due monthly, with final payment of interest and principal due on July 31, 2004. The line of credit is secured by all assets of the Company. The Company has not drawn against the line of credit as of December 31, 2002. The line of credit is subject to financial covenants. The Company was not in compliance with certain covenants as of December 31, 2002. On March 26, 2003, the Company obtained a waiver from the bank for covenant defaults for the period from September 30, 2002 through February 28, 2003. In addition, the bank modified the financial net worth covenant under the line to $8.9 million as of March 2003, $8.2 million from April through June 2003, $8.6 million from July through September 2003 and $9.3 million thereafter. The Company is currently in compliance with the covenants as modified. 48 MOBILITY ELECTRONICS, INC.

The outstanding principal of the promissory note may be converted at any time into shares of the Company's common stock, at a conversion price of $3.00 per share. See Note 3. In connection with its acquisition of Portsmith, the Company has recorded a long-term liability in the amount of $725,000 as an estimate of a component of earn-out, as this component was determinable and issuable as of December 31, 2002. Earn-out payments may be made in cash or shares of stock, at the Company's discretion, with total shares of common stock issued to former Portsmith stockholders not to exceed 3,023,863 shares. If the earn-out is paid in shares of common stock, the number of shares to be issued is based on the earn-out in dollars, divided by the market price of the Company's common stock as of the date that the earn-out is finally determined. See Note 3. (12) LEASE COMMITMENTS The Company has entered into various non-cancelable operating lease agreements for its office facilities, automobile, and office equipment. Existing facility leases require monthly rents plus payment of property taxes, normal maintenance and insurance on facilities. Rental expense for the operating leases was $855,000, $1,000,000 and $675,000 during the years ended 2002, 2001, and 2000, respectively. A summary of the minimum future lease payments for the years ending after December 31 follows (amounts in thousands): <Table> 2003........................................................ $ 560 2004........................................................ 607 2005........................................................ 402 2006........................................................ 410 2007........................................................ 418 Thereafter.................................................. 320 ------ $2,717 ====== </Table> (13) INCOME TAXES The Company has generated net operating losses for both financial and income tax reporting purposes since inception. At December 31, 2002 and 2001, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes of approximately $85,900,000 and $68,120,000, respectively, and approximately $3,626,000 and $2,580,000 for foreign income tax purposes, respectively, which, subject to annual 49 MOBILITY ELECTRONICS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) limitations, are available to offset future taxable income, if any, through 2022 and net operating loss carryforwards for state income tax purposes of approximately $85,900,000 and $68,120,000, which are available to offset future taxable income through 2007. The temporary differences that give rise to deferred tax assets and liabilities at December 31, 2002 and 2001 are as follows (amounts in thousands): <Table> <Caption> DECEMBER 31, ------------------- 2002 2001 -------- -------- Deferred tax assets: Net operating loss carryforward for federal income taxes.... $ 28,853 $ 23,162 Net operating loss carryforward for foreign income taxes.... 1,130 775 Net operating loss carryforward for state income taxes...... 5,290 4,271 Depreciation and amortization............................... 2,440 154 Section 263A inventory...................................... 62 63 Accrued liabilities......................................... 88 156 Reserves.................................................... 171 175 Bad debts................................................... 8 31 Investment tax credits...................................... 181 181 Inventory obsolescence...................................... 184 2,006 Acquisitions................................................ 619 -- Total gross deferred tax assets............................. 39,026 30,974 -------- -------- Deferred tax liabilities: Reserves..................................................

(38,632) (30,974) -------- -------- Net deferred tax assets..................................... $ -- $ -- ======== ======== </Table> The valuation allowance for deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2002 and 2001 was $38,632,000 and $30,974,000, respectively. The net change in the total valuation allowance for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001 was an increase of $7,658,000 and $7,693,000, respectively. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. In addition, due to the frequency of equity transactions by the Company, it is possible the use of the net operating loss carryforward may be limited in accordance with Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. A determination as to this limitation will be made at a future date as the net operating losses are utilized. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Based upon the level of historical taxable income and projections for future taxable income over the periods in which the deferred tax assets are deductible, management believes it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize the benefits of these deductible differences. 50 MOBILITY ELECTRONICS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) (14) STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY In January 2000, the Board of Directors authorized the Company's certificate of incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock to 100,000,000 and increased the authorized shares of preferred stock to 15,000,000 shares. Additionally, in March 2000, the Company's Board of Directors authorized and the Company's stockholders approved a 1-for-2 reverse stock split and a post-split adjustment of the number of authorized shares of common stock to 90,000,000 shares. All share information included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements has been retroactively adjusted to reflect these amendments. (a) CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK Series C preferred stock is convertible into shares of common stock. The initial conversion rate was one for one, but was subject to change if certain events occur. Generally, the conversion rate will be adjusted if the Company issues any non-cash dividends on outstanding securities, splits its securities or otherwise effects a change to the number of its outstanding securities. The conversion rate will also be adjusted if the Company issues additional securities at a price that is less than the price that the Series C preferred stockholders paid for their shares. Such adjustments will be made according to certain formulas that are designed to prevent dilution of the Series C preferred stock. The Series C preferred stock can be converted at any time at the option of the holder, and will convert automatically, immediately prior to the consummation of a firm commitment underwritten public offering of common stock pursuant to a registration statement filed with the SEC having a per share price equal to or greater than $24.00 per share and a total gross offering amount of not less than $15.0 million. The Company may not pay any cash dividends on its common stock while any Series C preferred stock remain outstanding without the consent of the Series C preferred stockholders. Holders of shares of Series C preferred stock are entitled to vote on all matters submitted for a vote of the holders of common stock. Holders will be entitled to one vote for each share of common stock into which one share of Series C preferred stock could then be converted. In the event of liquidation or dissolution, the holders of Series C preferred stock will be entitled to receive the amount they paid for their stock, plus accrued and unpaid dividends out of the Company's assets legally available for such payments prior to the time other holders of securities junior to the Series C preferred stock will be entitled to any payments. On March 6, 2000, the Company signed a Strategic Partner Agreement with Cybex Computer Products Corporation (Cybex). The Company and Cybex have agreed to license certain technology to each other and the Company has agreed to sell certain of its products to Cybex on a private label basis. In conjunction with this agreement, the Company sold Cybex 500,000 shares of $0.01 par value Series D preferred stock for $4,727,000, net of issuance of costs of $273,000. The Series D preferred stockholders have voting rights consistent with common stockholders and have liquidation preference over common stockholders but subordinate to Series C preferred stockholders. The Series D preferred stock is convertible into shares of common stock. On June 30, 2000, the Series D preferred stock were converted to 438,595 shares of common stock at a conversion rate of 1-to-0.87719 ($10.00 divided by 95% of the $12.00 initial public offering price per share of common stock). During 2000, 1,017,434 shares of Series C preferred stock sold under private placements were converted into 701,926 shares of common stock at a conversion rate of 1-to-0.68995, Series C preferred stock to common stock. During 2001, 581,049 shares of Series C preferred stock sold under private placements were converted into 400,264 shares of common stock at an average conversion rate of 1-to-0.68886, Series C preferred stock to common stock. 51 MOBILITY ELECTRONICS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) During 2002, 132,446 shares of Series C preferred stock sold under private placements were converted into 103,070 shares of common stock at an average conversion rate of 1-to-0.77820, Series C preferred stock to common stock. (b) COMMON STOCK Holders of shares of common stock are entitled to one vote per share on all matters submitted to a vote of the Company's stockholders. There is no right to cumulative voting for the election of directors. Holders of shares of common stock are entitled to receive dividends, if and when declared by the board of directors out of funds legally available therefore, after payment of dividends required to be paid on any outstanding shares of preferred stock. Upon liquidation, holders of shares of common stock are entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining after payment of liabilities, subject to the liquidation preferences of any outstanding shares of preferred stock. Holders of shares of common stock have no conversion, redemption or preemptive rights. On June 30, 2000, the Company's registration statement on Form S-1 registering its initial public offering ("IPO") of 4,000,000 shares of common stock became effective. At the offering price of $12.00 per share, the Company received proceeds of $44,600,000 from the IPO, net of underwriting discounts and commissions of $3,400,000. Other offering expenses totaled $1,500,000. Net cash proceeds to the Company after the payment of total offering expenses of $4,900,000 was $43,100,000. As part of the IPO, the Company granted the underwriters a 30-day option from the effective date of the IPO to purchase up to 600,000 additional shares of common stock to cover over-allotments, if any. On July 28, 2000, the underwriters exercised their 30-day option in full and purchased 600,000 additional shares of common stock, resulting in additional IPO proceeds received by the Company of $6,700,000, net of underwriting discounts and commissions of $504,000. Including the underwriters' over-allotment option, the net cash proceeds received by the Company after deducting the total offering expenses of $5,400,000 was $49,800,000. (c) STOCK SUBSCRIPTION AND DEFERRED COMPENSATION In June 2000, the Company sold 100,000 shares of common stock at a price of $12.00 per share to a company in exchange for $1,000 in cash and $1,199,000 promissory note which bears interest at 6% per annum and is secured by these shares of common stock. Accrued but unpaid interest under the promissory note is due and payable on each anniversary date of the promissory note beginning June 30, 2001, with all unpaid principal and interest due and payable in full on June 30, 2003. As of December 31, 2000, the $1,199,000 outstanding principal balance is reflected as a component of deferred compensation and stock subscriptions. During 2001, the promissory note was canceled and the 100,000 shares of common stock were returned to the Company. During 2001, the Company entered into a promissory note in the principal sum of $76,200 with a consultant to finance his purchase of 60,000 shares of common stock at a purchase price of $1.28 per share. The Company recorded compensation expense of $21,000 during 2001 as a result of this transaction.

Under the 401(k) plan, employees are permitted to make contributions to the plan in accordance with IRS regulations. The Company may make discretionary contributions as approved by the Board of Directors. The Company contributed $114,000, $36,000 and zero during 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively. (b) STOCK OPTIONS AND WARRANTS In 1995, the Board granted stock options to employees to purchase 132,198 shares of common stock. Later in 1996, the Company adopted an Incentive Stock Option Plan (the Plan) pursuant to the Internal Revenue Code. During 2002, the Plan was amended to increase the aggregate number of shares of common stock for which options may be granted or for which stock grants may be made to 3,000,000. Options become exercisable over varying periods up to five years and expire at the earlier of termination of employment or up to seven years after the date of grant. During 2002, in connection with its acquisition of Cutting Edge Software, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the issuance of options to purchase 150,000 shares of common stock to certain Cutting Edge Software employees. The options under both the Plan and Board approved were granted at the fair market value of the Company's stock at the date of grant as determined by the Company's Board of Directors. There were 420,403 shares available for grant under the Plan as of December 31, 2002.

AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) (17) CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK, SIGNIFICANT CUSTOMERS AND BUSINESS SEGMENTS Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and trade accounts receivable. The Company places its cash with high credit quality financial institutions and generally limits the amount of credit exposure to the amount of FDIC coverage. However, periodically during the year, the Company maintains cash in financial institutions in excess of the FDIC insurance coverage limit of $100,000. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers' financial condition but does not typically require collateral to support customer receivables. The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends and other information. Two customers each accounted for 20% of net sales for the year ended December 31, 2002. Two customers accounted for 34% and 33% of net sales for the year ended December 31, 2001.

In connection with this sale, the Company also issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of 559,084 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company. The warrants issued to holders of Series E Stock permit them to purchase an aggregate of 216,263 shares of common stock, at an exercise price of $0.867 per share (the "Series E Warrants"), and the warrants issued to holders of Series F Stock permit them to purchase an aggregate of 342,821 shares of common stock, at an exercise price of $1.02 per share (the "Series F Warrants"). The Series E Stock was purchased by a single non-affiliated investor, while the Series F Stock was purchased by certain officers and directors of the Company and their affiliates. On January 15, 2003, Jeffrey S. Doss resigned his positions as a director and executive vice president of the Company, effective as of January 31, 2003. During 1999 and 2001, Mr. Doss issued two personal promissory notes payable to Mobility, which evidenced personal borrowings from Mobility to finance purchases of the Company's stock. The first note was in the original principal amount of $300,000, accrued interest at a rate of 6% per annum and was due and payable on November 30, 2002 (the "First Note"). The second note was in the original principal amount of $199,000, accrued interest at a rate of 6.33% and was due and payable on March 2, 2004 (this note together with the First Note, the "Promissory Notes"). The collateral for the Promissory Notes was the stock purchased by Mr. Doss. On December 31, 2002, the Company delivered to Mr. Doss a demand notice to immediately pay the outstanding principal balance of and accrued but unpaid interest on the First Note. Mr. Doss was unable to pay the First Note as demanded. Because he could not pay and Section 402 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 prohibits the extension of credit to directors and executive officers after July 30, 2002, Mr. Doss resigned all positions with the Company. Additionally, on January 31, 2003, the Company extended the exercise periods of four options granted to Mr. Doss until January 31, 2006 and converted the options to non-qualified options. In exchange for the extension of the exercise periods of these options, Hotwire (as discussed below) on behalf of itself and its subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, employees, agents and successors, including 58 MOBILITY ELECTRONICS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) Mr. Doss, agreed to a non-solicitation, non-compete and non-disparagement agreement with the Company for the term of the agreement and for a period of two years after the termination of the agreement. On February 1, 2003, the Company and Mr. Doss entered into an Amended and Restated Promissory Note, which consolidated all principal and accrued but unpaid interest on the Promissory Notes into a principal balance of $581,000, extended the payment terms and lowered the interest rate, and also consolidated and amended and restated the related pledge and security agreements. The Amended and Restated Promissory Note is due and payable on December 31, 2005 and accrues interest at a rate of 2.00% per annum on $499,000 with the remaining $82,000 not accruing interest. The collateral under the Amended and Restated Pledge and Security agreement is 50,000 shares of the Company's Series C preferred stock, plus 118,966 shares of the Company's common stock. Additionally, effective February 1, 2003, the Company entered into an independent contractor agreement with Hotwire Development, LLC, an Arizona limited liability company controlled by Mr. Doss ("Hotwire") for the initial term of which is one year. For the term of the agreement with Hotwire, Hotwire will undertake certain engineering, development, marketing and product development projects for the Company as requested from time to time during such term through the use of certain qualified employees, including Mr. Doss. In this capacity, Hotwire is solely an independent contractor. Mr. Doss is not an officer, director or employee of the Company.

ITEM 14. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES As required by Rule 13a-14 under the Exchange Act, within 90 days prior to the filing date of this report, the Company carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our controls and procedures are effective. There have been no significant changes in the Company's internal controls or in other factors that could significantly effect internal controls subsequent to the date the Company carried out this evaluation. Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company's reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in Company reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Company's Chief Executive Officer as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding disclosures. The Company has confidence in its internal controls and procedures and has expanded its efforts to develop and improve its controls. Nevertheless, the Company's management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure procedures and controls, or our internal controls, will necessarily prevent all error or intentional fraud. An internal control system, no matter how well-conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that the 60 objectives of such internal controls are met. Further, the design of an internal control system must reflect the fact that we are subject to resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all internal control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all internal control issues or instances of fraud, if any, within the Company can be detected. Pursuant to Section 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have provided certain certifications to the Securities and Exchange Commission.
