Company Overview

        We are one of the premier distributors and providers of wireless handsets and accessories in Latin AmericaCentral and to a lesser extent, the United States.South America. We provide end-to-end handset and wireless terminal solutions for carriers in both Latin AmericaCentral and the United States.South America. We distribute products of several key original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), including Samsung LG, Novatel and others. We are also involved in the designing, sourcing and distributing of a proprietary line of products under our ownverykool® brand, which includes entry level, mid-tier and high-end products.

        Our corporate headquarters is in San Diego, California and fromCalifornia. From our sales facility in Miami, Florida, where we have our Latin America sales and executive offices, we operate a warehouse and distribution center. This distribution center servicesfor our customers in Latin AmericaCentral and the United States.South America. We have wholly-owned subsidiaries in LatinCentral and South America, which conduct some of our business activities in their respective regions of LatinCentral and South America.

        Our distribution and solution services include product testing, approval and certification, light assembly, warehousing, logistics services (packing, shipping and delivery), marketing campaigns, warranty services and end-user support. These services are provided for OEMs, semi-proprietary(OEMs) and proprietaryourverykool® branded wireless handsets and accessories, in order to facilitate sales to network carriers, agents, resellers, distributors, independent dealers and retailers in Latin AmericaCentral and the United States. Additionally,South America. In addition, for ourverykool® branded products, we have wholly-owned subsidiaries in Latin America which conduct some of our business activities in their respective regions.design, test and contract with manufacturers to build these products.

        During 2007,2008, we benefited fromwere impacted by the increasedworldwide economic downturn, especially in our Central America region in the second half of the year. For 2008, our annual unit volume of units sold of wireless handsetsdecreased 2% and accessories in Latin America, which was offset by a decrease inour average selling price per unit. Weunit remained relatively unchanged. However, we believe that we have established positive relations with many carriers in that regionboth Central and South America which could assist us as the overall global economy recovers and we move forward with our proprietary line ofverykool ® wireless handsets and accessories, which wasaccessories. During 2006 and 2007, we introduced in 2006. Weourverykool® brand. With regard to ourverykool® brand, we also are involved in the design, feature setting, and the contracting with various design and contract manufacturers in Asia, to develop these exclusive or semi-exclusive products for us. In addition, we perform value added services and solutions, including product approval, testing and certification, light assembly, warehousing, logistics services (packing, shipping and delivery), marketing campaigns, point of sales training, warranty services and end-user support regardingus under theverykool® products.brand.

        In 2005, we significantly changed our business model from selling products to dealers and agents in the United States and Latin America to providing products, services and solutions primarily to carriers in such regions. As a result, we believe that this shift in customer focus has enabled us to better service our customers and vendors as we play a more important role in the supply chain for wireless handsets and accessories.        Prior to 2005, we had operated a retail kiosk business, which we discontinued in 2004. In addition, beginning in the second quarter of 2008, we began implementing actions necessary to close sales operations in the United States and Mexico. Such closures were substantially completed by the end of 2008.

        On May 30, 2006, our Board of Directors approved a two-for-one stock split of our outstanding common stock. The stock split was accomplished through a 100% stock dividend, providing our stockholders with one additional share of common stock for every one share held by them as of the record date. The split was consummated on June 19, 2006 to stockholders of record as of June 9, 2006. Immediately following the stock split, our outstanding shares of common stock increased from 6,948,034 shares to 13,896,068. All share and per share amounts for all periods presented in this report (unless otherwise stated) have been adjusted to reflect this stock split.

        We incorporated under the laws of the State of California on February 7, 1994, under the name InfoSonics Corporation. On September 11, 2003, we reincorporated under the laws of and into the State of Maryland under the name InfoSonics Corporation. Unless the context otherwise requires, the

Overview of Wireless Telecommunications Industry

        Rapid technical developments over the last fewseveral years within the wireless telecommunications industry have allowed wireless subscribers to talk, send and receive text messages, send and receive e-mails, capture and transmit digital images, send and receive multimedia messages, play games, listen to music, watch visual content and browse the Internet using all-in-one wireless handsets. Wireless handsets, accessories and services also are being used around the world to provide monitoring,

point-of-sale transaction processing, inter-device communications, local area networks, location monitoring, sales force automation, and customer relationship management. While demand is beginningin the early stages for some of these more advanced services and accessories in the markets we service, as this demand further develops and the economy improves over time, we believe that end-users will desirewant to take advantage of new services and will needdesire handsets with updated technology. As a result of these advances and new services, as well as assuming an improved economy, we believe that the handset replacement cycle will continuecould return to shorten,pre-2008 levels, as consumers adapt to the utilization of these services, which will require new and more advanced handsets, leading to increased handset and accessories sales. As these new services and the respective handsets become more readily available for the markets we service and are in more demand by end-users, we expect to continue distributing the accessorieshandsets and handsets,accessories, including those with these advanced services, in the same manner that we currently distribute existing products.

        In addition to our current distribution services, we engage in technical and other high-level customization services in order to prepare products for some customers. We believe that these customization upgrades and services will enable us to continue to offer innovative new products, which we should be able to offer to current and new customers in the geographic regions we operate.

Market Trends and Factors

        The wireless telecommunications industry and its participants have experienced a number of trends in recent years, including:

        According to Cowen and Company'sDeutsche Bank's Wireless Equipment IndustrySignals to Noise Outlook report dated January 2008,2009, worldwide mobile handset sales increased by approximately 6% in 2008 but are expected to increase more than 70% from 857 million handsets solddecrease 10% in 20052009 to almost 1.51.1 billion handsets sold, before returning to a growth of 9% during 2010 and 9% again in 2010.2011. The Cowen and CompanyDeutsche Bank report also estimated that Latin American (excluding Brazil) handset sales for 2009 will increase from 116be 54 million units, in 2005 to 137down from sales of 66 million units in 2010 and North American handset sales will increase from 154 million units in 2005 to 217 million units in 2010.during 2008.

        We believe the following factors are influencing the wireless telecommunications industry and market, including the increase in handset sales.        As a percentage of total sales, replacement handset sales are growing at an increasing rate.rate, as compared to first time handsets sales. We believe such growth is based on customer churn, advances in technology and functionality, new activations, repair costs and industry consolidation. In addition, we expect that continued downward pressure on pricing willcould cause customers to more frequently upgrade and replace their handsets. We believe the following factors are influencing the wireless telecommunications industry and market. Replacement sales are also impacted by the overall economic conditions and the second half of 2008 saw a significant economic slowdown both worldwide and in the markets we serve.

        Advances in Technology.Technology and Functionality.    Rapid advances in technology during the past few years have caused a major shift in the handset market. AdvancesAdvanced functionality such as color displays, embedded cameras, multimedia messaging services, Internet access and entertainment features such as audio, video and gaming all have increased demand for handset replacement. Additionally, carriers compete for new customers by increasing the functionality of their networks.

        New Activations.    The mobile handset penetration rate of the populations in the regions where we sell handsets varies greatly. Some countries are as low as 41%45% penetration and the highest is 96%95% penetration. We believe overall penetration at the end of 2007 to be approximately 61% in Latin America and approximately 83% in the United States New activations also driveimpact handset sales.

        Customer Churn.    This is the process which takes place when a wireless user replaces service from one carrier with another. Churn increases overall handset sales because wireless handsets may not be compatible across different carrier networks.

        Repair Costs.    In many cases, the cost of the repair and replacement of components for handsets is prohibitive as compared to the cost of a new product, thus having a positive effect on handset sales.

        Industry Consolidation.    Merger and acquisition activity within the carrier community has been driven by improved economies of scale, the opportunity to expand national or multi-national service areas, and efforts to increase revenue and profitability through additional service offerings. Since handsets arecan be "locked" to a specific carrier, new handsets willmay be required by carriers' customers as the carriers consolidate their respective subscribers and networks. As we experiencedsaw during 2007, the acquisition of some regional carriers in the United States (e.g. Dobson Cellular Systems Inc. and Suncom Wireless) decreased our existing and potential customer base in the United States.

Our Strategy

        Our strategy is to maintain and grow both horizontally and verticallyour unit volumes in the wireless handset industry by pursuing the following:following strategies:


Table of Contents

Leverage Infrastructure and Increase Market Share.

        We have our distribution center and warehouse operations in Miami, Florida. We have sales representation in Miami which covers LatinCentral and South America as well as contractors within LatinCentral and South America to assist the service of our existing and potential customers. By utilizing the geographic diversity of this existing infrastructure, and our established relationships with manufacturers and carriers, we believe we can maintain and potentially increase our sales with relatively low additional cost, potentially resulting in a return to profitability.cost. In addition, we have customized a licensed software package for an information and customer management system that allows our employees to track customer order status from purchase order to delivery. This system also enables tracking and identification of customer and geographic trends, in addition to providing management with real-time information on each individual order. This system is scalable, and under constant improvement to streamline operations and maximize operational efficiencies. The system also analyzes and tracks our relationships with manufacturers and other suppliers so that we can compare our purchasing trends with the overall market. We will continue to make investments in our products and infrastructure so as to continually enhance our ability to serve our customers and attempt to increase sales.

Establish, Introduce and Market Proprietary verykool® Products.

        During 2006, we created a marketing campaign entitled "verykool®", and the reception of that concept prompted us to launch our proprietary line of products under theverykool® brand. At the end of 2008, we had sixverykool® products shipping in Central and South America. We believe that owning our proprietary line of products could enable us to increase our gross margins and operating margins in the long term.

Outsourced Supply-Chain Services.

        We intend to expand our business offerings to provide additional outsourced supply-chain services to the wireless telecommunications industry. These services may include product approval, testing and certification, inventory management, product fulfillment, preparation of product kits and customized packaging, light assembly, marketing and sales training, warranty and end-user support services. These supply-chain services are designed to provide outsourcing solutions for the carriers, as well as providing opportunities for us to enhance our margins. These services meet our customers' business requirements and support their efforts to add new subscribers and increase system usage and revenues while minimizing their investments in distribution infrastructure.

Market Penetration.

        We intend to further penetrate our existing markets in certain Latin America countriesCentral and expand to new countries where we do not currently operate, which we believe will enable us to increase sales by introducing products from certain of our manufacturer suppliers that have not been previously sold into these markets.South American countries. Utilizing our relationships with manufacturers, and our knowledge of this market, we believe we can add revenues as well as gross profit from these markets. In addition we intend to continue our geographic expansion in Latin America by providing products and services to new carriers and new countries within the region.markets if appropriate overall market conditions exist.

Geographic Expansion.

        During 2007,2008, we expanded geographically into new countries in LatinCentral and South America, in addition to having in-country representatives, including sales, marketing and point-of-sales support, which benefited our relations with our customers. During 2006, we expanded our operations through enhanced warehouse and operational facilities in Miami, Florida. Although in January 2008 we reduced our operational facilities in Mexico (currently limited to outsource warehousing), asAs we continue to focus on LatinCentral and South America, we may add appropriate sales, operational or warehouse locations in LatinCentral and South America to service our customers in the region. These activities are intended to provide us the ability to expand our geographic presence, increase our customer base, improve our product portfolio, and add new capabilities and service offerings. We have established subsidiaries in Latin Central and South

America and acquired a company doing business in Argentina. These additions have the potential to advance, and potentially accelerate our expansion in those regions.


Maintain and Improve Operating Efficiencies.

We continuously evaluate opportunitieslook to more efficiently by monitoringeffectively monitor returns on invested capital, working to obtain better purchase terms, more effectively utilizingutilize our limited capital resources, implementingimplement workforce management programs, and centralizingcentralize back-office operations. For example, during 2007, we relocated our corporate headquarters in San Diego to a space which better meets our needs and reduced our monthly rent expense, and during the first quarter of 2008, we reducedshifted some fixed costs to become variable, such as replacing employees with contractors, in an attempt to match market conditions and potential opportunities.

We accomplish this by expanding product lines, brandscontinually meeting with our customers and technologies withinothers in the marketsregions we serve, thereby extendingoperate as well as regions currently outside of our reach.scope of operations. We currently have relationships with severaloriginal equipment manufacturers and are workingopen to developdeveloping distribution relationships with others as well. We believe that by expanding our manufacturing relationships, and taking advantage of them as appropriate, including, among other things, by potential acquisition, we can offer the most innovative product lines, brands and technologies within the markets we serve.

As a part of our distribution activities, when requested by our customers we perform value-added services that are included in our product price. These services include, but are not limited to, programming, locking, software loading, packaging, and quality assurance testing. We carry higher levels of inventory when we are preparing to enter a new market, andmarket. In addition we carry higher levels ofverykool® product inventory compared to the levels of OEM product, as we are responsible for taking the roletraditional roles of the manufacturer, including keeping significanthaving inventory balances to meet sales needs.

Customers/Principal Markets/Methods of Distribution.

        Our current LatinCentral and South American customers include carriers and resellers. Our United States customers include rural service carriers, agents, resellers, distributors and retailers. The principal markets for our distribution products and services are our current distribution customer bases as well as carriers within the regions we operate. During 2007,2008, we provided products and services to approximately 8090 customers. Our three largest customers in fiscal 20072008 represented 18%21%, 17%21% and 17%20% of our net sales. All three of these customers are carriers in LatinSouth America. We sell our products pursuant to customer purchase orders and ship products by common carrier based on customer specifiedcustomer-specified delivery dates.

Management believes that our information systems have allowed us to provide better service to customers, which we believe leads to increased customer satisfaction, and resulting customer retention and future sales.

Vendors

        We have established key relationships with several leading manufacturers of wireless telecommunications equipment. In 2007,2008, we purchased inventory from more than 2210 wireless mobile device and accessory manufacturers and other suppliers. Certain of our suppliers, depending on any number of factors including manufacturer promotion, product introduction, and sales volume, among others, may provide favorable purchasing terms to us, including price protection, cooperative advertising, volume incentive rebates, stock balancing and marketing allowances. Some of these terms are provided for in our contracts, whereas others are offered from time to time when the manufacturer desireschooses to do so. Product manufacturers typically provide limited warranties directly to the end-user.

        In 2007,2008, Samsung Electronica Da Amazonia Ltda., and Samsung Electronics LatinoAmerica and Samsung TelecommunicationsLatino America accounted for approximately 55%, 17%76%, and 11%15%, respectively, of our total cost of sales.

        As of March 31, 2008,2009, we have written agreementscontracts with some of our supplier-manufacturerssuppliers and manufacturers for distribution in LatinCentral and South America, and the United States, including the Samsung affiliates mentioned above. These agreements are subject to certain conditions and exceptions, primarily concerning the retention by these suppliers of certain direct accounts, and restrictions of territory regarding our resale of products. In addition, we purchase products from other manufacturers and suppliers pursuant to purchase orders placed from time to time in the ordinary course of business for products to be sold in Latin AmericaCentral and the United States.South America. Most of our agreements with suppliers are non-exclusive, with the exception of the suppliers for our proprietaryverykool® products, for which we have world-wide exclusive rights on those proprietary models. Although we do not have written agreementscontracts with all of our manufacturers and suppliers, we believe we will have adequate product flows in the future to fulfill our reasonably foreseeable product requirements.

Sales and Marketing

        We believe that direct selling and one-on-one relationships, as well as in-depth product and competitive landscape knowledge, are important factors in the marketing of the products that we sell. Accordingly, we promote relationship building and maintenance through personal contact and advertising in industry publications, both print and on-line, and attending industry trade shows. Our suppliers and customers use a variety of methods to promote their products and services directly to consumers, including print and media advertising.

        As of December 31, 2007,2008, we employed and/or contracted 2422 sales and marketing professionals who are involved in distribution and who market to existing and potential customers in their respective assigned territories through in person meetings, telephone, e-mail interaction and notification of special promotions. Potential new customers are located primarily through our database, as well as industry publications and journals. Each sales person is generally compensated based on wireless handset sales, customer acquisition and retention and profitability.


        In 2008, 100% of our net sales were to customers outside the United States, consisting of 76% in South America and 24% in Central America. In 2008, Argentina represented 67% of our net sales, with no other country accounting for more than 10% of our net sales. In 2007, approximately 88% of our net sales were to customers outside the United States, consisting of 58% in South America and 30% in Central America; the remaining 12% of our net sales resulted from sales in the United States.America. In 2007, Argentina, Guatemala and El Salvador, represented 54%, 13% and 10%, respectively, of our net sales. In 2006, approximately 5% of our net sales resulted from sales to customers in the United States; the other 95% was to customers outside the United States, consisting of 62% in South America and 34% in Central America. In 2006, Argentina and Guatemala represented

Financial and Other Information about Geographic Areas and Our Business

        Other geographic information, including financial, customer and competitive information provided herein is incorporated from Note 11 to our Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes and in Items 1A and 7 hereof.

Seasonality

        Our business historically has experienced increased sales during the third quarter of the calendar year due to holidays in some regions where we have customers.customers; however, the economic downturn changed this seasonality pattern for 2008. In addition, if unanticipated events occur, including delays in securing adequate inventories of competitive products at times of peak sales or significant decreases in sales during these periods, it could result in a material decrease in our revenues and losses or lower profits. Our operations may be influenced by a number of seasonal factors in the countries and markets in which we operate.

Competition

        The industry and markets where we operate are highly competitive and such competition may increase in the future. Wireless handsets are subject to price competition and price erosion over the lives of the products. We compete on a number of factors including product pricing, level of services offered, market and product knowledge, customer service, product availability and overall value provided to our customers. Our competitors often possess substantially greater financial, technological, marketing, personnel and other resources than we do, which could enable them to withstand substantial price competition, launch new products and implement extensive advertising and promotional campaigns. Historically, the barriers to entry have been relatively low for the distribution of wireless handsets. Our ability to continue to compete successfully will beis largely dependent on our ability to anticipate and respond to various competitive and other factors affecting the industry, including: new or changing outsourcing requirements;requirements, new information technology requirements;requirements, new product introductions;introductions, inconsistent or inadequate supply of product;product, changes in consumer preferences;preferences, demographic trends;trends, regional and local economic conditions;conditions, and discount pricing strategies and promotional activities by competitors.

        We compete for sales of wireless handsets and accessories, and anticipate that we will continue to compete, with well-established carriers and distributors. In addition, with ourverykool® products, we will compete with manufacturers, including some of our current suppliers. Manufacturers, including our own suppliers, sell their products directly to some large carriers, and as these carriers grow in size, they may pose more of a competitive threat to our business by circumventingbypassing our distribution system in favor of doing business directly with manufacturers. Our competitors in the United StatesCentral and LatinSouth America include wireless equipment manufacturers, carriers and other dedicated wireless distributors such as BrightPoint, Inc. and Brightstar Corporation.

Risks Relating to Our Business

We have been experiencing net losses and expect that net losses may continue for the near future. If we continue to operate at a loss, our business may not be financially viable.

        We have experienced losses and negative cash flows for the years ended 2007 and 2008. As of December 31, 2008, we had working capital of $25.6 million. Given the economic slowdown and contraction in the wider markets, including the Central and South American markets that we serve and generally globally, we cannot adequately evaluate the financial viability of our business and our long-term prospects.

        To achieve profitability we endeavor to, among other things:

        If we do not succeed in these objectives, our business might continue to experience losses and may not be sustainable in the future.

We may not succeed in our introduction and establishment of proprietary products.products in our markets.

        The introduction and establishment of new products such as our proprietaryverykool® line in our markets may depress sales of existing products and may not be well received by our carrier customers and consumers. Further, failure to adequately carry out our product marketing, sales and delivery strategy or otherwise be successful in establishing ourverykool® brand may result in significant inventory obsolescence, including inventory which we have built up. If any of these events occur, our financial condition and operating results would likely be negatively impacted.


Our operating results may vary significantly, which may cause our stock price to fluctuate.

        Our operating results are influenced by a number of factors, which may cause our sales and operating results to fluctuate greatly. These factors include:

    product availability and pricing;

    the addition or loss of supplier or customer relationships;

    the timing of introduction of new products by our suppliers and competitors;

    purchasing patterns of customers in different markets;

    general economic conditions;

    promotions and subsidies; and

    gross margins

        For example, the closing price of our common stock has fluctuated between $16.76$1.85 and $0.90$0.10 from January 1, 20062008 through March 20, 2008.2009.

We have outstanding indebtedness, which is secured by substantially all our assets and which could prevent us from borrowing additional funds, if needed.

        WeAs of December 31, 2008, we had outstanding debt in the amount of approximately $26.8$14.3 million at December 31, 2007 in the form ofunder a bank linecredit facility and as of February 28, 2009, such debt outstanding was $9.5 million. In April 2008, we entered into a Loan, Security and Bulk Purchase Agreement and a Letter of Credit and Security Agreement with Wells Fargo Century, Inc., which replaced our then existing asset-based, secured credit offacility with Wells Fargo HSBC Trade Bank, N.A. Under the new two-year credit facility, Wells Fargo Century, Inc. may advance us up to $30 million$45,000,000 based on a borrowing base, which is based on a percentagethe expected collections of eligible accounts receivable and inventory.receivables as well as the value of our eligible inventory as determined in accordance with the terms of the facility. This new facility expires April 2010. Any significant decrease in our level of eligible accounts receivable or inventory will reduce our ability to borrow additional funds under the new credit facility and may affect our ability to adequately finance our operations and expansion strategies. IfFurther, if we violate our loan covenants, default on our obligations or become subject to a change of control, our indebtedness would become immediately due and payable. TheIn addition, the terms of our new credit facility restrict us from incurring certain additional indebtedness, which could limit our ability to expand our operations. We are alsoSome of our loan covenants subject us to, negative covenants that, among other things, limitlimits on our ability to sell certain assets and make certain payments, including, but not limited to, dividends, repurchases of common stock and other payments outside the normal course of business, as well as prohibitingprohibits us from merging or consolidating with another corporation or selling all or substantially all of our assets. AtAs of December 31, 2007,2008 and February 28, 2009, the Company did not meet allwas in compliance with the covenants of the new credit facility. If any of these financial covenants.

We buy a significant amount of our products from a limited number of suppliers, who may not provide us with competitive products at reasonable prices when we need them in the future.

        We purchase wireless handsets and accessories principally from wireless communications OEMs and distributors. We depend on these suppliers to provide us with adequate inventories of currently popular brand name products on a timely basis and on favorable pricing and other terms. In 2007, three2008, two vendors accounted for 55%, 17%76% and 11%15%, respectively, of our total cost of sales. We currently have one exclusive and several non-exclusive agreements with our principal suppliers, which can be terminated on short notice and provide for certain territorial restrictions. Our suppliers may not offer us competitive products on favorable terms or timely delivery. In addition, new products from other manufacturers could impact the demand for products from manufacturers we represent. From



time to time, we have been unable to obtain sufficient product supplies. Any failure or delay by our suppliers, particularly our threetwo primary vendors, in supplying us with products on favorable terms may severely diminish our ability to obtain and deliver products to our customers on a timely and competitive basis. If we lose anyeither of our principal suppliers, or if these suppliers are unable to fulfill our product needs, or if any principal supplier imposes substantial price increases or unfavorable terms and alternative sources of supply are not readily available, it would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

The loss or reduction in orders from principal customers or a reduction in prices we are able to charge these customers will have a negative impact upon our revenues and could cause our stock price to decline.

        Our three largest customers represented 18%21%, 17%21% and 17%20% of our net sales in fiscal 2007.2008. All three of these customers are carriers in LatinCentral and South America. The markets we serve are subject to significant price competition. Additionally, our customers are not contractually obligated to purchase productproducts from us. For these and other reasons, such as competitive pricing and competitive pressures, customers may seek to obtain products or services from us at lower prices than we have been able to obtain from these customers in the past. This could occur, for example, in the case of a customer purchasing large quantities of a product from us, who then terminates this relationship because the customer can obtain a lower price by buying directly from the manufacturer. The loss of any of our principal customers, a reduction in the amount of product or services our principal customers order from us or the inability to maintain current terms, including price, with these or other customers could have an adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and liquidity. We have experienced losses of certain customerscustomer bases through industry consolidation and in the ordinary course of business andbusiness. Recent losses include our U.S. customer base where we decided to discontinue operations, thereby restricting potential customer geography. Overall, there can be no assurance that any of our customers will continue to purchase products or services from us or that their purchases will be at the same or greater levels than in prior periods. For example,periods, with any such customer decisions having the consolidation in the United States of regional carriers such as Dobson Cellular Systems Inc.potential to adversely affect our business operations and Suncom Wireless resulted in our loss of existing and potential customers.profitability.

Our ability to attain future profitability depends on our ability to increase existing margins, and our ability to increase ourthrough increased net sales, which we may not be able to do.

        The gross margins that we realize on sales of wireless handsets could be reduced due to, among other things, increased competition or a growing industry emphasis on cost containment. Therefore, our future profitability will continue to depend on our ability to increase our margins or to increase our sales to help offset potential future declines in margins. We may not be able to increase existing margins for products or services we offer or increase our sales. Our ability to generate sales is based upon demand for wireless handset products that we have or can deliver and our having an adequate supply of these products. Even if our sales rates increase, the gross margins that we receive from our sales may not be sufficient to make our future operations profitable. For example, in 2007,2008, we had experienced a net loss due to, among other things, lower gross margins, product mix, decreased average sales price per unit, and sales of certain US products below our cost due to the consolidation of some regional carriers.

Our business depends on the continued tendency of wireless handset manufacturers and carriers to outsource aspects of their business to us.

        Our business depends in large part on wireless handset manufacturers and carriers outsourcing some of their business functions to us. We provide functions such as product approval and testing, inventory management, product fulfillment, preparation of product kits, and customized packaging, light assembly and end-user support services. Certain wireless handset manufacturers and carriers have elected, and others may elect, to undertake these services internally. Additionally, our customer service levels, industry consolidation, competition, deregulation, technological changes or other factors could reduce the degree to which members of the wireless handset industry rely on outsourced services such



as the services we provide. Any significant change in the market for these services could have a material adverse effect on our current and planned business. We may not be able to effectively compete in our industry if consolidation of carriers continues or a change in product delivery routing occurs.

        The past several years have witnessed a consolidation within the wireless carrier community. For example, in 2007, the consolidation in the United States of regional carriers such as Dobson Cellular Systems Inc. and Suncom Wireless resulted in our loss of existing and potential customers. If this trend continues, it could result in a reduction or elimination of promotional activities by the remaining wireless carriers as they seek to reduce their expenditures which could, in turn, result in decreased demand for our products or services. Moreover, consolidation of wireless carriers reduces the number of potential contracts available to us. We could also lose business if wireless carriers,us and was one of the determining factors which currently are our customers, are acquired by other wireless carriers which are not our customers, which has been a new occurrence with someled to the discontinuation of our U.S. customers (e.g. Dobson Cellular Systems Inc. and Suncom Wireless).sales business. Wireless carriers may also change their policies regarding sales to their agents by independent distributors, such as requiring those agents to purchase products from the carrier or manufacturer, rather than from distributors such as us. This type of requirement could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

We have and could lose customers or orders as well as potential customers as a result of consolidation in the wireless telecommunications carrier industry.

        There has been significant consolidation in the wireless industry, particularly in the U.S. Rural Service Area market, which has caused extreme price competition and reduced our number of customers and potential customers. Future consolidations could further erode our current and potential markets. This could also lead to, among other things, reduced sales volume and margins and greater fluctuations in our quarterly results andas well as carrying value of our inventory. These consolidated entities may also order fewer products from us or elect to no longer do business with us or demand pricing changes in order to compete. In 2007, consolidation in the regional United States carriers had an adverse impact on our existing and potential customer base.

Class action and derivative lawsuits have been filed against us, our board of directors and certain of our officers, and other lawsuitsLawsuits may be instituted against us from time to time.

        We have in the past been and are currently, and from time to time in the future may become, subject to claims and litigation, which could be expensive, lengthy, and disruptive to our normal business operations. In addition, the outcomesoutcome of any claims or litigation, including possibly substantial awards and penalties, are difficult to predict and could have material adverse effects on our business, operating results or financial condition. For further information regarding certain claims and litigation in which we have in the past been and are currently involved and which could adversely affect us, see "Item 3. Legal Proceedings."

We face many risks relating to intellectual property rights.

        Our business will be harmed if: (i) we and/or our manufacturers are found to have infringed intellectual property rights of third parties, or (ii) our intellectual property protection is inadequate to protect proprietary rights used in ourverykool® product line.

        Because our proprietaryverykool® products are comprised of complex technology, we may be subject to or impacted by litigation regarding intellectual property rights. Third parties may assert


Table of Contents


intellectual property infringement claims against us and against our manufacturers. Defending claims may be expensive and divert the time and efforts of our management and employees. Increasingly, third parties have sought broad injunctive relief in our industry, which could ultimately limit our ability to sell our proprietaryverykool® products. If any litigation arises and we do not succeed in such litigation, we could be required to expend significant resources to pay damages, develop non-infringing intellectual property or to obtain licenses to the intellectual property that is the subject of such litigation. However, we cannot be certain that any such licenses, if available at all, will be available to us on commercially reasonable terms. In some cases, we might be forced to stop delivering certain or all of our proprietaryverykool® products if we or our manufacturers are subject to a final injunction or other restrictions.

        We attempt to negotiate favorable intellectual property indemnities with our manufacturers for infringement of third-party intellectual property rights, but there is no assurance that we will be successful in our negotiations or that a manufacturer's indemnity will cover all damages and losses suffered by us due to a potentially infringingverykool® product or that a manufacturer may choose to accept a license or modify or replace its products with non-infringing products which would otherwise mitigate such damages and losses. Further, we may not be able to participate in intellectual property litigation involving a manufacturer and may not be able to influence any ultimate resolution or outcome that may adversely impact our sales if a court enters an injunction or other restrictions that negatively impacts our proprietaryverykool® products.

        Further, it may be possible for a third party to obtain and use our or our manufacturers' proprietary information or develop similar technology relating to ourverykool® products independently. In addition, effective patent, copyright, trademark and trade secret protection may be unavailable or limited, including in certain foreign countries. Unauthorized use of our or our manufacturers' intellectual property rights by third parties and the cost of any litigation necessary to enforce our or our manufacturers' intellectual property rights could have an adverse impact on our business.

Our sales and inventory risk may be materially affected by fluctuations in regional demand patterns and economic factors for which we cannot plan.

        The demand for our products and services has fluctuated and may continue to vary substantially within the regions served by us. We believe the roll-out of third generation, or 3G, cellular telephone systems and other new technologies have had and will continue to have an effect on overall subscriber growth and wireless handset replacement demand. Economic slow-downs inThe worldwide economic slow-down has impacted the regions served by us, changes in promotional programs offered by wireless carriers or customer preferences, may lower consumer demand for our products and create higher levels of inventories which could decrease our gross and operating margins. We could face a substantial inventory risk due to depreciation and equipment price erosion if our products are not sold in a timely manner. During 2007, the consolidation in regional carrier channels resulted in2008, we experienced such an adverse impact on, including decreased margin potential, and some products were sold at a considerable loss.


Approximately 88%All of our revenues from continuing operations during the fiscal year ended December 31, 20072008 were generated outside of the United States in countries that may have volatile currencies or other risks.

        We engage in significantAll of our sales activities are in territories and countries outside of the United States, particularly LatinCentral and South American countries, includingmost significantly Argentina. The fact that we distribute a substantial amount of our products into a number of territories and countries other thanoutside the United States exposes us to, among other things, increased credit risks, currency fluctuations, customs duties, import quotas and other trade restrictions, potentially greater and more unpredictable inflationary and currency pressures, and shipping delays. Changes may occur in social, political, regulatory and economic conditions or in laws and policies governing foreign trade and investment in the territories and countries where we currently distribute products. United States laws and regulations relating to investment and trade in foreign countries could also change to our detriment. Any of these factors could have material adverse effects on our business and operations. Although

Also, although we purchase and sell products and services in U.S. dollars and do not engage in exchange swaps, futures or options contracts or other hedging techniques, fluctuations in currency exchange rates could reduce demand for products sold in United States dollars. We cannot predict the effect that future exchange rate fluctuations will have on our operating results or financial position. We may in the future engage in currency hedging transactions, which could result in our incurring significant additional financial risks, including expenses and losses.

We may not be able to adequately respond to rapid technological changes in the wireless handset industry, which could cause us to lose customers.

        The technology relating to wireless handsets changes rapidly resulting in product obsolescence or short product life cycles. We are required to anticipate future technological changes in our industry and to continually identify, obtain and market new products in order to satisfy evolving industry and customer requirements. While our top vendors have historically kept their products competitive and we aim to keep our proprietary products competitive in terms of technological changes, there is no guarantee they or we will continue to do so, which could materially affect our business. Competitors or manufacturers of wireless handsets may market products which have perceived or actual advantages over products that we handle or which otherwise render those products obsolete or less marketable. We have made and continue to make significant capital investments in accordance with evolving industry and customer requirements including maintaining levels of inventories of currently popular products that we believe are necessary based on current market conditions. This utilization of capital for product development and inventory buildup of this nature increases our risk of loss due to possible product obsolescence. Furthermore, if we do not adequately anticipate future technological changes, we may not have established adequate relationships with suppliers or doneperformed appropriate product development.

Substantial defaults by our customers on accounts receivables could have a significant negative impact on our cash flow and financial condition.

        We currently offer and intend to offer open account terms to certain of our customers, both large and small, which may subject us to credit risks, particularly to the extent that our receivables represent sales to a limited number of customers or are concentrated in particular geographic markets. Although we have twoan accounts receivable insurance policies, these policies carrypolicy, this policy carries a substantial co-insurance factordeductible and may not cover our liability in all instances. We also have an accounts receivable-based credit facility in order to reduce our working capital requirements. The extent of our ability to use our accounts receivable-based credit facility is dependent on the amount of and collection cycle of our accounts receivable. Adverse changes in our ability to use accounts receivable financing could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, cash flows and results of operations.


We rely on our suppliers to provide favorable terms, including payment terms, in order for us to make appropriate product purchases, and without such terms, our ability to procure products could be impacted.

        Much of our business is dependent on our ability to obtain adequate supplies of currently popular products on favorable pricing and other terms. Our ability to fund our product purchases is dependent on our principal suppliers providing favorable payment terms that allow us to maximize the efficiency of our capital usage. The payment terms we receive from our suppliers are dependent on several factors, including, but not limited to, our payment history with the supplier, the suppliers' credit granting policies, contractual provisions, our overall credit rating as determined by various credit rating agencies, industry conditions, our recent operating results, financial position and cash flows, and each supplier's ability to obtain credit insurance on amounts that we owe them. Adverse changes in any of these factors, certain of which may not be wholly in our control, could have a material adverse effect on our business and operations.

We rely on our information technology systems to function efficiently, without interruptions, and if it does not, customer relationships could be harmed.

        We have focused on the application of our information technology systems to provide customized services to wireless handset manufacturers and carriers. Our ability to meet our customers' technical and performance requirements is highly dependent on the effective functioning of our information technology systems, which may experience interruptions, including aspects provided by third-party providers which may be beyond our control. These business interruptions could cause us to fall below acceptable performance levels pursuant to our customers' requirements and could result in a negative impact on, including the loss of, the related business relationship. Some of our information technology systems are managed and operated by third party providers. All information technology systems, both internal and external, are potentially vulnerable to damage or interruption from a variety of sources, including, without limitation, computer viruses, security breaches, energy blackouts, natural disasters, terrorism, war and telecommunication failures, as well as third-party provider failures. We have implemented various measures to manage our risks related to system and network disruptions, but a systems failure or security breach or other problem with our information technology systems could negatively impact our operations and financial results.

We depend on third parties to manufacture the products we distribute, including our proprietary verykool® products, and, accordingly, we rely on their quality control procedures.

        Product manufacturers typically provide limited or no warranties on the products directly to us or directly to the end consumer. We generally pass through any warranties received from our manufacturers to our customers and in absence of such warranty we are solely responsible for the products. If a product we distribute from a manufacturer has quality or performance problems, our ability to provide satisfactory products to our customers could be disrupted and our reputation could be impaired. In addition, as theverykool® products are manufactured exclusively for us, we carry the financial risk of the inventory, and there can be no assurance that we will be able to sell these products before payment is due and at prices above our cost. Either of these risks could have a negative impact on our business and operations.

The wireless handset industry is intensely competitive and we may not be able to continue to compete against well established competitors with greater financial and other resources.

        We compete for sales of wireless handsets and accessories, and expect that we will continue to compete, with numerous well-established carriers, distributors and manufacturers, including our own suppliers. Many of our competitors possess greater financial and other resources than we do and may market similar products or services directly to our customers. Distribution of wireless handsets and accessories has generally had low barriers to entry. As a result, additional competitors may choose to



enter our industry in the future. The markets for wireless handsets and accessories are characterized by intense price competition and significant price erosion over the life of a product. Many of our competitors have the financial resources to withstand substantial price competition and to implement extensive advertising and promotional programs, both generally and in response to efforts by additional competitors to enter into new markets or introduce new products. Our ability to continue to compete successfully will depend largely on our ability to maintain our current industry relationships, both manufacturers and carrier customers. We may not be successful in anticipating and responding to competitive factors affecting our industry, including new or changing outsourcing requirements, the entry of additional well-capitalized competitors, new products which may be introduced, changes in consumer preferences, demographic trends, international, national, regional and local economic conditions and competitors' discount pricing and promotion strategies. As wireless telecommunications markets mature and as we seek to enter into new markets in the LatinCentral and South American region and offer new products in the future, the competition that we face may change and grow more intense.


Our continued growth depends on retaining our current key employees and attracting additional qualified personnel, and we may not be able to continue to do so.Table of Contents

        Our success depends in large part on the abilities and continued service of our executive officers and other key employees, particularly Joseph Ram, our Chief Executive Officer. Although we have previously entered into employment agreements with several of our officers and employees, including Mr. Ram, we may not be able to retain their services under applicable law. The loss of executive officers or other key personnel could have a material adverse effect on us. In addition, in order to support our continued growth, we will be required to effectively recruit, develop and retain additional qualified management. If we are unable to attract and retain additional necessary personnel, it could delay or hinder our plans for growth.


We rely on trade secret laws and agreements with our key employees and other third parties to protect our proprietary rights, and there is no assurance that these laws or agreements adequately protect our rights.

        We rely on trade secret laws to protect our proprietary knowledge, particularly our database of customers and suppliers and business terms such as pricing, and the information related to ourverykool® brand. In general, we also have non-disclosure agreements with our key employees and limit access to and distribution of our trade secrets and other proprietary information. These measures may prove difficult to enforce and may not prove adequate to prevent misappropriation of our proprietary information.

We may become subject to law suits alleging medical risks associated with our wireless handsets, and the cost of these suits could be substantial, and divert funds from our business.

        Lawsuits or claims have been filed or made against manufacturers of wireless handsets alleging possible medical risks, including brain cancer, associated with the electromagnetic fields emitted by wireless handsets. There has been only limited relevant research in this area, and this research has not been conclusive as to what effects, if any, exposure to electromagnetic fields emitted by wireless handsets has on human cells. Substantially all of our revenues are derived, either directly or indirectly, from sales of wireless handsets. We may become subject to lawsuits filed by plaintiffs alleging various health risks from our products. If any future studies find possible health risks associated with the use of wireless handsets or if any damages claim against us or a business partner is successful, it could have a material adverse effect on our business. Even an unsubstantiated perception that health risks exist could adversely affect our ability or the ability of our customers to market wireless handsets.


Our continuing liabilities on leases from our former mall-based retail kiosk locations could have a negative impact on earnings and cash flow.

        Although we have assigned our four remaining retail leases to a third party and we have received indemnification from the third party, we remain liable to the lessor for the respective remaining lease terms of one or two years, if the third party does not fulfill its obligations under the leases. As of December 31, 2007, the total potential liability under these leases was $35,805 exclusive of a $95,044 escrow deposit held for our benefit to the extent that the third party should default on any of the assigned leases. This escrow is not reflected on our financial statements; however, this potential lease liability is included in the footnotes to our Consolidated Financial Statements.

Risks Related To Our Common Stock

Our common stock and our stock price could be volatile and could decline, resulting in a substantial loss on your investment.

        Prior to our initial public offering in June 2004, there was not a public market for our common stock.        An active trading market for our common stock may not be sustained, which could affect the ability of our stockholders to sell their shares and could depress the market price of their shares. The stock market in general and the market for telecommunications-related stocks in particular, has been highly volatile. For example, the closing price of our common stock has fluctuated between $16.76$1.85 and $0.90$0.10 from January 1, 20062008 through March 20, 2008.2009.

        As a result, the market price of our common stock has been and is likely to remain volatile, and investors in our common stock may experience a decrease in the value of their stock, including decreases unrelated to our operating performance or prospects.

If the trading price of our common stock remains below $1.00 for an extended period of time, our common stock may, among other things, be delisted from The Nasdaq Global Market or Nasdaq markets altogether adversely affecting the value of our common stock.

        Between January 1, 20062008 and March 20, 2008,2009, our common stock share price fluctuated between $0.90$1.85 and $16.52$0.10 per share, and on March 20, 2009 closed at $0.18 per share. Under Nasdaq Market Rules, among other things, if our share price is under $1.00 per share for an extended period of time, our stock could be delisted from The Nasdaq Global Market, be transferred to a listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market, or be delisted from the Nasdaq markets altogether.

        On July 10, 2008, we received a Nasdaq Staff Deficiency letter indicating that for the last thirty consecutive business days the bid price for our common stock had closed below the minimum $1.00 per share requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Stock Market under Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4450(a)(5). In accordance with Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4450(e)(2), we were provided an initial period of 180 calendar days, or until January 6, 2009, to regain compliance. The Nasdaq Stock Market has extended the compliance date several times with the current compliance date being on or about October 12, 2009.


Table of Contents

        During the compliance period on or about October 12, 2009, absent any unexpected events, our common stock is expected to continue to trade on The Nasdaq Global Market. If compliance with Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4450(a)(5) cannot be demonstrated on or about October 12, 2009, the staff of The Nasdaq Stock Market Listing Qualifications department is expected to deliver a written notification to us that our securities will be delisted from The Nasdaq Global Market. If we receive a delisting notice, we may appeal the Nasdaq staff's determination to a Listing Qualifications Panel. Alternatively, we may apply to transfer our securities to The Nasdaq Capital Market or another exchange or trading market. We intend to monitor the bid price of our common stock and consider available options if our common stock does not trade at a level likely to result in our regaining compliance with Nasdaq's minimum bid price rule.

        If our common stock were to be delisted from The Nasdaq Global Market or the Nasdaq markets altogether, we may seek quotation on a regional stock exchange or other exchange or market, if available. Such listing could reduce the market liquidity for our common stock. If our common stock is not eligible for quotation on another exchange or market, trading of our common stock could be conducted in the over-the-counter market or on an electronic bulletin board established for unlisted securities, such as the Pink Sheets or the OTC Bulletin Board. As a result, an investor would find it more difficult to dispose of, or obtain accurate quotations for the price of, our common stock, which would likely cause a decrease in the value of our common stock.

        Further, if our common stock were to be delisted from the Nasdaq markets, and our trading price remained below $5.00 per share, trading in our common stock might also become subject to the requirements of certain rules promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, which require additional disclosure by broker-dealers in connection with any trade involving a "penny stock." In addition, many brokerage firms are reluctant to recommend low-priced stocks to their clients. Further, various regulations and policies may restrict the ability of shareholders to borrow against or "margin" low-priced stocks, and declines in our stock price below certain levels may trigger unexpected margin calls. Additionally, because brokers' commissions on low-priced stocks generally represent a higher percentage of the stock price than commissions on higher-priced stocks, the price of our common stock could result in an individual shareholder paying transaction costs that



represent a higher percentage of total share value than would be the case if our share price were higher. This factor may also limit the willingness of institutions to purchase our common stock. Finally, the additional burdens imposed upon broker-dealers by these requirements could discourage broker-dealers from facilitating trades in our common stock. All of these risks could severely limit the market liquidity of our common stock and the ability of investors to trade our common stock, thereby negatively impacting share price.

The ability of our stockholders to control our policies or effect a change in control of our company is limited, which may not be in our stockholders' best interests.

        Some provisions of our charter and bylaws and the General Corporation Law of Maryland, under which we are incorporated, may delay or prevent a change in control of our company or other transactions that could provide our common stockholders with a premium over the then-prevailing market price of our common stock or that might otherwise be in the best interests of our stockholders. These include the ability of our Board of Directors to authorize the issuance of preferred stock without stockholder approval, which preferred stock may have voting provisions that could delay or prevent a change in control or other transaction that might involve a premium price or otherwise be in the best interests of our stockholders. Maryland law imposes restrictions on some business combinations and requires compliance with statutory procedures before some mergers and acquisitions can occur. These provisions of Maryland law may have the effect of discouraging offers to acquire us even if the acquisition would be advantageous to our stockholders.

Stockholders have been and may be diluted as a result of past or future offerings or other financings or equity grants.

        We have and may in the future raise additional capital through one or more public offerings, private placements or other financings involving our securities and have made or may make stock option orand other equity incentive grants. As a result of these financings or grants, ownership interests in us may be diluted, potentially substantially.

        In January 2006, we sold an aggregate 2,200,000 shares of our common stock at $6.55 per share, for total gross proceeds of $14,410,000. The purchasers were also issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of 660,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $9.19 per share during the period beginning six months after the date of the purchase agreement and ending four years from the date of the purchase agreement. As part of the sale, we also issued three-year term warrants to purchase a total of 57,200 shares to placement agents with varying exercise prices (44,000 shares at $6.88 per share and 13,200 at $9.65 per share).

        Additionally, in April and June of 2006, we granted stock options to purchase an aggregate of 32,000 and 50,000 shares of our common stock to certain employees. These options have exercise prices of $5.33 and $15.17 per share and expire five years from the date of grant. In August of 2006, we granted stock options to purchase an aggregate of 15,000 and 10,000 shares of our common stock to certain employees and a chairman of a board committee. These options have exercise prices of $5.12 and $5.91, respectively per share and expire five years from the date of grant. Also in June 2006, our stockholders approved previously granted options to purchase an aggregate of 180,000 of our common stock to certain non-employee directors. These options have exercise prices of $1.65 and $8.12 per share, and expire five and three years, respectively, from the date of grant. In March 2007, we granted stock options to purchase an aggregate of 40,000 shares of our common stock to certain foreign contractors. These options have an exercise price of $3.79 per share and expire six years from the date of grant. As a result of these issuances and grants, and possible future equity grants, ownership interests in us have been and may be in the future, further diluted.


Our largest stockholder may have strategic interests that differ from those of our other stockholders, and can significantly influence important corporate matters.

        As of March 20, 2008,2009, Joseph Ram, our Chief Executive Officer beneficially owned approximately 31%30% of our outstanding common stock. As a result, Mr. Ram may be able to significantly influence corporate actions relating to:

    controlling the composition of our board of directors;

    controlling our management and policies;

    determining the outcome of significant corporate transactions, including changes in control that may not be beneficial to other stockholders; and

    acting in his own interest, which may conflict with, or be different from, the interests of other stockholders.

Item 7.    Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

        This discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the "Selected Financial Data" and our accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes, as well as the "Risk Factors" and other information contained in this annual report.Annual Report. Our management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations are based upon, among other things, our Consolidated Audited Financial Statements which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to, among other things, make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosures of contingent liabilities at the financial statement dates and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. On an on-going basis, we review our estimates and assumptions. Our estimates are based on our historical experience and other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results are likely to differ from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions, but we do not believe such differences will materially affect our financial position or results of operations, although they could. Our critical accounting policies, the policies we believe are most important to the presentation of our financial statements and require the most difficult, subjective and complex judgments, are outlined below in "Critical Accounting Policies," and have not changed significantly since our annual report for fiscal 2006.Policies". All references to results of operations in this discussion are references to results of continuing operations, unless otherwise noted.


Overview

        We are one of the premier distributors and providers of wireless handsets and accessories in Latin AmericaCentral and to a lesser extent, the United States.South America. We provide end-to-end handset and wireless terminal solutions for carriers in both Latin AmericaCentral and the United States.South America. We distribute products of several key original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), including Samsung LG, Novatel and others. We are also involved in the designing, sourcing and distributing of a proprietary line of products under our ownverykool® brand, which includes entry level, mid-tier and high-end products.

        As an integral part of our customers' supply chain, we perform value added services and solutions, including product approval and certification, light assembly, warehousing, logistics services (packing, shipping and delivery), marketing campaigns, warranty services and end-user support. We provide these services for wireless handset manufacturers in order to facilitate sales to carriers, agents, resellers, distributors, independent dealers and retailers in Latin AmericaCentral and the United States. During 2005, we significantly changedSouth America. We introduced our business model from selling products to dealers and agents in the United States and Latin America to providing products, services and solutions primarily to wireless carriers in such regions. As a result, we believe that this shift in customer focus has enabled us to better service our customers and vendors as we play a more important role in the supply chain for wireless handsets and accessories. Also in 2006, we introduced a proprietary line of handsets and accessories under theour ownverykool® brand.brand in 2006.

Areas of Management Focus and Performance Indicators

        We focus on the needs of our customers, developing and maintaining close relationships with manufacturers, expanding in current and entering into new markets, and sourcing and developing new and innovative products, while maintaining close attention to operational efficiencies and costs. We are focused on increasing shipping volumes and improving efficiencies to enableachieve higher levels of profitability and earnings growth, in addition toas well as monitoring and managing levels of accounts receivable and inventory. We provide distribution and other services for OEMs, such as Samsung, and LG, and our own proprietary line ofverykool® handsets. Performance indicators that are keyimportant for the monitoring and management of our business include operating and net income, cost of sales and gross margin percentage, operating expenses as a percent of revenues, and overall net sales growth. We make extensive use of our customized information system to closely monitor all aspects of our business, including customer relationship management, intelligent purchasing, inventory control, and inventory flow, line item margin control for every order, and weighted average cost and statistical data for every product, customerproducts, customers and supplier.suppliers, as deemed appropriate. We believe a strong focus on providing better service to customers leads to increased customer satisfaction and retention and potential increases in sales.

        Management spends a significant amount of time traveling to Latin America and Asia with the purpose of spending time with key customers, suppliers and employees. We believe that these relationships are vital to our success and we will continue to dedicate a significant amount of time to this area.

Industry Trends Challenges,and, Risks and Growth Opportunities

        According to a January 20082009 report by Cowen and Company,Deutsche Bank, in 2007,2008, overall worldwide wireless handset sales increased by approximately 16%, and6% in 2008; however, they are forecasted to increase 12%decrease in 20082009 by 10%, before returning to growth in 2010 and 5%2011, with growth estimated at 10% each year. This same report estimates Latin American (excluding Brazil) could decrease 17% in 2009. The two largest areas2009, before returning to growth in 2010 and 2011 at a rate of growth are Africa and Asia Pacific, regions in which we do not currently operate.10% each year. A rapid decline in wireless handset sales growthin the Central and South American markets we serve has and could continue to negatively impact our net sales. Excess supply conditions canand the current economic downturn have and may continue to reduce demand for our products and reduce the market prices of the products we sell and therefore affect our ability to generate net sales, margins and gross profit at expected levels and could continue to affect the value of our inventory. For example, some US regional carrier consolidation resulted inthe second half of 2008 saw a decrease in the value of some ofhandset demand globally as well as in our sales regions and an increase in carrier inventory, carried for that region, which inventory was sold belowboth had a negative impact on our costfinancial results during 2007.2008. Conversely, should manufacturers be unable to respond to an unanticipated increase in demand on a timely basis,



we, along with others in our industry, could experience supply constraints that would affect our ability to deliver products. We are unable to quantify these effects, as it is difficult to predict future supply conditions and demand patterns which affect our ability to meet customer demand or sell handsets at an acceptable gross profit.

Company Specific Trends Challengesand Risks and Growth Opportunities

        Our long-term strategy incorporates overall market growth elements for each aspect of our business, which we hope will result in growth.future growth as global economic conditions recover. Certain of our manufacturers entered into the low-tier handset market during 2007 and continued to market them in 2008, which has had a positive impact on our volumes of handsets sold. However, such low-tier handsets carry lowersold, but a negative impact on gross profit margins, thus negatively impacting our overall gross margin. During 2007, we substantially increased our inventory level in anticipation of and preparation for potential sales. Ourverykool® proprietary line of products, for which we havehad six models selling as of December 31, 2007, showed a ramp-up2008, continued to show orders and sales during of sales in the second half of 2007,2008 and could beis expected to become an importantincreasing part of our overall business in the future. During 2006, 2007 and 2008, ourverykool® products continued to increase product diversification in Central and South America, which should continue to be beneficial as we move forward and work towards profitability again. We have significant control over the

verykool® line of products, whereas for OEM products we perform distribution and other services to the extent needed by the OEM's.

        In the United States and Mexico, we halted substantially all sales during 2008. Much of our significant United States customer base completed the transitional stage as regional carriers, including some of our customers being acquired in 2007 by AT&T, T-Mobile USA and Verizon Wireless. With our potential United States customer base significantly reduced by the second quarter of 2008, we decided to discontinue this portion of our operations, together with the discontinuation of our operations in Mexico. We substantially completed the discontinuation of these operations by the end of 2008. These two areas accounted for less than 1% of our net sales in 2008, as compared to 13% of our net sales for 2007.

        Generally, our industry was impacted by the economic slowdown impacting the United States and the rest of the world. We believe that some of the countries in the regions we operate, particularly in Central America, have close economic relations with the United States, and have been impacted by the economic situation in the United States during 2008 in particular, as well as, generally globally. We believe this impacted consumer demand for our wireless handsets and accessories in some of the countries we operate, and therefore our overall operations, including net sales, during 2008 were adversely impacted.

Recent Events

        On July 10, 2008, we, received a Nasdaq Staff Deficiency letter indicating that for the last thirty consecutive business days the bid price for our common stock had closed below the minimum $1.00 per share requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Stock Market under Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4450(a)(5). In accordance with Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4450(e)(2), we were provided an initial period of 180 calendar days, or until January 6, 2009, to regain compliance. The Nasdaq Stock Market has extended the compliance date several times, with the current compliance date being on or about October 12, 2009.

        During the compliance period on or about October 12, 2009, absent the occurrence of any unexpected events, our common stock is expected to continue to trade on The Nasdaq Global Market. If compliance with Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4450(a)(5) cannot be demonstrated on or about October 12, 2009, the staff of The Nasdaq Stock Market Listing Qualifications department is expected to deliver a written notification to us that our securities will be delisted from The Nasdaq Global Market. If we receive a delisting notice, we may appeal the Nasdaq staff's determination to a Listing Qualifications Panel. Alternatively, we may apply to transfer our securities to The Nasdaq Capital Market or another exchange or trading market. We intend to monitor the bid price of our common stock and consider available options if our common stock does not trade at a level likely to result in our regaining compliance with Nasdaq's minimum bid price rule.

Average selling price of wireless handsets sold in 2008 remained relatively constant, as compared to 2007. However, we experienced a 2% decrease in overall wireless handset sales volume, due primarily to the impact of the worsening economic slowdown in the markets we serve, most notably in Central America, during the second half of 2008. The geographic mix of net sales shifted in 2008 as sales in South America increased to more than 76% of net sales, as compared to 66% of net sales in 2007. Sales in Central America decreased to 24% of total net sales in 2008, as compared to 34% in 2007.

These regional shifts in net sales were the result of the factors discussed below. Further, we discontinued our operations in the United States and Mexico in 2008.

        In South and Central America, we have continued to work to expand our customer base as well as our geographic presence by seeking additional customers and further business with existing customers. In addition, we continued efforts to market and sell our proprietaryverykool® line of products in South and Central America. In South America, net sales were $162.6 million for 2008, a 15% increase from 2007. This increase was primarily due to increased sales in existing countries, most notably Argentina, and the addition during the first half of 2008 of a new carrier relationship in Colombia. In Central America, net sales decreased 31% to $50.6 million for 2008, which was primarily due to the continuing unusually low demand during the third and fourth quarters of 2008. We believe the worsening worldwide economic downturn impacted that region also, especially during the second half of 2008.

Cost of Sales, Gross Profit and Gross Margin

        For the year ended December 31, 2008, cost of sales was $203.2 million, or 95.3% of net sales, and gross margin was 4.7%, as compared with $202.8 million, or 94.6% of net sales, and 5.4% for gross margin for the year ended December 31, 2007. The increase in our cost of sales both in dollars and as a percentage of net sales and decrease in gross margin were primarily due to inventory write downs, sales of some products at or below cost and the product mix shift, including increased sales of low-margin products. Inventory write downs during 2008 were approximately $2.5 million, or 1.2% of cost of sales, and in addition, we sold product below our cost in order to reduce inventory levels and incurred costs of $3.0 million on these products. These actions primarily resulted from of the abrupt shift in market conditions and resulted in decreased demand, particularly in Central America, in the second half of 2008. We had immaterial inventory write down in 2007. Some of our OEM partners that had previously entered into the low-tier handset range continued to sell a higher amount of low-tier handsets, which had less margin opportunity than mid-tier and high-end handsets sales. Our gross margin continues to be impacted by the change of product and regional mix of our sales, as different products and different regions have varying margins. The worsening economic downturn has also reduced consumer demand for higher-priced and higher-margin products.

        For the year ended December 31, 2008, our gross profit decreased to $10.0 million from $11.7 million, as compared with the year ended December 31, 2007, a decrease of 14%. This decrease in gross profit was primarily the result of the inventory write down of $2.5 million during 2008 as well

Operating Expense and Operating Loss from Continuing Operations

        For the year ended December 31, 2008, operating expense increased almost 5%, to $13.9 million as compared with last year. As a percentage of net sales from continuing operations, operating expense increased to 6.5% in the year ended December 31, 2008, as compared with 6.2% for last year. The increase in operating expense as a percentage of net sales was primarily due to the increase in marketing activities related to sales of our products, as we continue to create brand awareness at the point of sale. Marketing expenses increased approximately $0.7 million in 2008 as compared to 2007. In addition we had product tooling and engineering expenses related to theverykool® products during 2008 increase $1.1 million in 2008 as compared to 2007. Marketing, tooling and engineering increases were primarily due to the increased penetration and by sales of ourverykool® branded products.            We believe that pursuant to our efforts, and assuming economic conditions improve, future sales and margins could provide gross profits to better cover operational costs. In addition, management continues to review expenses in an effort to better match the operational costs with the future business opportunities. We believe such measures will assist us as we strive to return to profitability. Operating expense for the year ended December 31, 2008 included non-cash expense related to stock options of $94,000, as compared to $143,000 in the year ended December 31, 2007.

        For the year ended December 31, 2008, our operating loss from continuing operations was $3.9 million, as compared with a loss of $1.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2007. As a percentage of net sales, operating loss from continuing operations was 2% for the year ended December 31, 2008, compared to a loss of 1% for the year ended December 31, 2007. The increase in operating loss from continuing operations was a result of the decrease in gross margin and gross profit (related primarily to inventory write downs and product sales below cost) and the increase in operational expenses (most notably relating to marketing, product tooling and engineering) as discussed above.

Other Income

        During 2008, we settled an outstanding claim against a former service provider in which we received a gross amount of $655,000, of which $87,000 represented reimbursement for legal fees, and also had a gain from an insurance settlement. During 2007, we received $2.1 million in compensation from our early lease termination and relocation of our corporate headquarters. During 2008, we also incurred $545,000 of interest expense, compared to $901,000 for last year, primarily due to a lower average outstanding balance on our line of credit as well as generally lower borrowing rates. We expect to regularly utilize our revolving line of credit, which will impact our interest expense in future periods, depending on applicable interest rates and amounts drawn from the line.

        During the year ended December 31, 2008, our loss from continuing operations was $6.3 million, as compared to income from continuing operations of $0.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2007. Included in this loss is a non-cash valuation allowance of $3.2 million related to our deferred tax assets (see Note 10—Income Taxes), in addition to the $2.5 million of inventory write downs taken during the year, which enabled us to significantly reduce inventory levels and the associated carrying costs. This loss from continuing operations was also impacted by the decreases in gross margin and gross profit, impacted by sales at or below cost on certain products, increased operational expenses (marketing, product tooling and engineering), and handset units sold increased by 22%, after increasing 65%the impact of the general economic downturn which affected our sales regions. The prior year's income from continuing operations of $0.7 million primarily resulted from the compensation we received from our early lease termination of our former corporate headquarters.

Althoughthe United States and Mexico and decided to implement actions necessary to close sales operations in both of those countries, which we have incorporated growth intosubstantially completed in the second half of the year. For the year ended December 31, 2008, we incurred a loss of $4.1 million from discontinued operations, as compared to a loss of $2.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2007. The loss was a result of very low sales in the U.S. and Mexico during 2008, as we wound down our strategy, there can be no assurances thatbusiness in these areas.

Net Loss

        During the year ended December 31, 2008, our net loss was $10.4 million, compared to net loss of $1.6 million in the same period in 2007. This loss was primarily related to the factors discussed above, including the inventory write down, marketing, engineering and tolling expense as well as the non-cash valuation allowance for the deferred tax assets.

Net Sales

        For the year ended December 31, 2007, our net sales of $244.7$214.5 million were comparable todecreased from our net sales of $240.9$228.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. Handsets sold during the year ended December 31, 2007 increased 22%20%, as compared to the same period in 2006; however, this increase was more than offset by a decrease in the average selling price of 17%15%. The geographic mix of net sales slightly shifted for the year ended December 31, 2007, as compared to the same period of 2006. Sales in the United States increased to 12% of net sales for the year ended December 31, 2007, as compared to 5% of net sales for the same period in 2006. In contrast, ourOur net sales in Central America decreased to 31%34% of our net sales for the year ended December 31, 2007, as compared to 34%35% of net sales for the same period of 2006. Our South America region continued to represent the majority of our business, accounting for 58%66% of our net sales for 2007, as compared to 62%65% for 2006. This regional shift in net sales was the result of two primary factors. Product availability in the United States increased in the beginning of 2007, enabling us to purchase more products and sell more products to our customers, which was offset by the impact of the consolidation of the US regional carriers in the later part of 2007, resulting in some of our inventory being sold at prices below our costs, and limiting our existing and potential customer base in the US going forward. The Central America region had excess inventory in the channel during the first quarter of 2007, reducing sales. Thehowever, channel inventory began to return to normalized levels during the second quarter and remained so for the balance of 2007 enabling sales to increase and end the year at nearly one-third of total net sales. In South America, our efforts enabled sales to new customers and new countries as well as additional sales to existing customers. These increases were offset by the decrease in overall average product unit selling price due to our



manufacturing partners entering into the low-tier product segment. This region continues to experience a general increase in handset sales.

Cost of Sales, Gross Margin and Gross Profit

        For the year ended December 31, 2007, cost of sales was $233.2$202.8 million, or 95.3%94.6% of net sales, compared with $222.1$211.3 million, or 92.2%92.3% of net sales, for the year ended December 31, 2006. The increase in our total cost of sales as a percentage of revenues was a direct result of various factors, including our increased sales levels on a consolidated basis and increasedshift in product mix, with increased levels of higher-costlower-margin products includingverykool® products, as well as the one-time increased costs related to the sales of certain US inventory during the third quarter of 2007.in net sales. In the Central America region, in the beginning of 2007, a significant decrease in handset demand as a result of industry-wide excess inventory in the channel for that particular region also impacted our ability to sell higher-margin products. During the second quarter and then the balancehalf of 2007, we saw channel inventory generally return to normalized levels in Central America. Our grossGross margin continues to be impacted by the change of product and regional mix of our sales, as different products and different regions can have varying margins. Additionally, our gross margin was further negatively impacted as certain of our manufacturers entered into the low-tier handset range. Lastly, we incurred an increase in losses on the sale of our US inventory, due to acquisitions of some of the US regional carriers in 2007. These acquisitions have had and are expected to continue to have a significant negative impact on our US customer base and future US sales opportunities.

        For the year ended December 31, 2007, our gross profit decreased to $11.5$11.7 million from $18.8$17.5 million, for the same period in 2006, a decrease of 39%33%. The decrease in gross profit was primarily the result of increasedhigher volume of sales in Latin America of low-tier products which(which have lower margins,margins), sold in Central and South America and to higher channel inventory levels, andas well as generally lower sales of handsets in Central America during the first quarter of 2007, and losses taken on sales of certain US inventory in connection with the consolidation of some of the US regional carriers.2007. These factors depressed our gross margin and decreased the opportunity for sales of higher margin products.

Net Sales

        For the year ended December 31, 2006 our net sales increased 65% to $240.9 million compared to $145.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. Such increase was primarily attributable to a 120% increase in wireless handset volume, partially offset by a 24% decrease in average selling price per unit sold. The number of wireless handsets increased primarily as a result of an overall increase in market demand and the addition of new suppliers and customers. The manufacturers we represent continued to launch new competitively-priced products thereby increasing demand for such products.

        During the year ended December 31, 2006, our geographic mix of net sales shifted significantly as our sales in South America and Central America increased substantially. These two regions represented 95% (62% for South America and 33% for Central America) of our net sales for the year ended December 31, 2006, compared to 69% (50% for South America and 19% for Central America) for the year ended December 31, 2005. This increase was primarily the result of our increased sales and marketing efforts in both of those regions, as well as the general increase in wireless handsets sold in



those regions. Sales in the United States made up the remainder of our sales for the year ended December 31, 2006, declining 75% to $11.4 million, or 5% of net sales, over the year ended December 31, 2005. The decrease in our United States sales resulted from increased competition and product supply constraints from our primary vendors. During the fourth quarter of 2006, we began to see an easing of supply constraints and our sales for the United States more than doubled sequentially over the third quarter of 2006.

Cost of Sales, Gross Profit and Gross Margin

        For the year ended December 31, 2006, cost of sales was $222.1 million, or 92.2% of net sales, compared with $133.7 million, or 91.7% of net sales, for the year ended December 31, 2005. The increase in our cost of sales was a direct result of the increased wireless handset sales volume during the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to the year ended December 31, 2005.

        Our gross profit increased 55% to $18.8 million, as compared to $12.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. The increase in gross profit was primarily the result of increased wireless handset sales levels, partially offset by the decrease in gross margin.

        For the year ended December 31, 2006, our gross margin percentage decreased to 7.8% from 8.3% for the year ended December 31, 2005. The decrease in gross margin was primarily the result of the change of product and regional mix of our sales, including higher sales in Central America, as different products and different regions have varying margins.

Operating Expenses and Operating Income from Continuing Operations

        For the year ended December 31, 2006, operating expenses were $15.3 million, an increase of 83%, compared with $8.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. As a percentage of net sales, operating expenses were 6.4% and 5.7%, respectively, in each of the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005. This increase was primarily the result of increased personnel costs in support of overall growth in unit volumes and geographic expansion. During 2006, we opened a new facility in Mexico which has yet to fully realize operational efficiencies. In addition we incurred non-cash compensation expense in 2006 of $1.5 million or 0.6% of net sales, relating to the adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 123(R) for expensing stock options, compared to no such expense for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005.

Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2006 was $292,000 as compared to $399,000 for the year ended December 31, 2005, the decrease in interest expense is due to our additional cash resources as a result of the fund raising completed during the first quarter of 2006, together with our vendors increased credit lines for our purchases, which supports the increase in our accounts payable to $18.0 million at December 31, 2006 compared to $6.0 million at December 31, 2005.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

Year ended December 31, 2007

        We generally use cash from our sales of products, lines of credit and salessale of securities to provide the capital needed to support our growth.business.

Year ended December 31, 2008

Cash Provided by Operating Activities

        At December 31, 2008, we had $24.7 million in cash, an increase of $4.1 million from December 31, 2007. During the year ended December 31, 2008, we continued to leverage our bank and vendor lines of credit to fund our operations, in addition to reducing our accounts receivable and inventory levels. The net cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations was $10.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2008, which resulted primarily from substantially decreased inventory and accounts receivable levels. The $9.5 million decrease in inventory at December 31, 2008 in addition to a $0.5 million decrease in prepaid inventory were primarily attributable to our efforts to reduce inventory levels as a result of worldwide economic conditions. Accounts receivable decreased $14.9 million primarily due to decreased sales in the second half of 2008, which we believe was substantially the result of the worldwide economic downturn. Accounts

payable at December 31, 2008 decreased $9.8 million, compared to December 31, 2007. This decrease was related to our decreased use of our vendors' lines of credit during the year ended December 31, 2008, as we decreased our inventory levels as noted above.

Days of Sales Outstanding

        Days of sales outstanding (the average number of days it takes to collect revenue after a sale is made) at December 31, 2008 was 56 days, compared with 61 days at December 31, 2007. This decrease was due to continuous efforts to keep our customers to the payment terms we provide. Normal payment terms require our customers to pay on a net 30-day or net 60-day basis depending on the customer. We are constantly working with our customers to reduce our days of sales outstanding. The extension of net 60-day terms was required to remain competitive in the regions we currently operate, Central and South America. In an effort to penetrate new markets and reach new customers, we may offer terms beyond our normal terms.

Cash Used in Investing Activities

        The net cash used in investing activities was $312,000 for the year ended December 31, 2008, compared to cash used of $1.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2007. The use of cash during 2008 and 2007 was primarily the result of our investment in tooling and molds for our proprietaryverykool® products.

Net Cash Used in (Provided by) Financing Activities

        The net cash used in financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2008 of $12.5 million was primarily the result of payments on our bank line of credit as a result of less financing needs for our decreased levels of inventory and accounts receivable, compared to 2007, where we had cash provided from financing activities of $1.6 million as a result of funding from our bank line of credit.

Working Capital

        Our net working capital at December 31, 2008 was $25.6 million, compared with $33.4 million at December 31, 2007. This decrease was primarily due to decreases in inventory and accounts receivable, partially offset by the increase in our cash balance, for the year ended December 31, 2008. In addition, the loss from discontinued operations of $4.1 million also reduced our overall working capital.

Year ended December 31, 2007

Cash Used in Operating Activities

        At December 31, 2007, we had $20.8$20.7 million in cash, a decrease of $9.5$9.0 million from December 31, 2006. During the year ended December 31, 2007, we continued to leverage our bank and vendor lines of credit to fund our growth.business. The net cash used inby operating activities was $9.7$9.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2007, which resulted primarily from increased inventory levels and increased accounts receivable. The $9.7$10.3 million increase in inventory at December 31, 2007 included a $0.3 million increase in prepaid inventory. This increase was primarily attributable to the build-up ofverykool® inventory in anticipation of future sales. Additionally, accounts receivable increased $5.8$3.2 million primarily due to increased sales prior to the period end reported. Accounts payable at December 31, 2007 increased $8.6$5.0 million, compared to December 31, 2006. This increase was related to our increaseincreased use of our vendors lines of credit during the year ended December 31, 2007.

Working Capital

        Our net working capital at December 31, 2007 was $33.4 million, compared with $36.7$37.0 million at December 31, 2006. This decrease was primarily due to increases in accounts payable line of credit balance outstanding and inventory for the year ended December 31, 2007, partially offset by the decrease in our cash balance and increased borrowings from our line of credit.

Year ended December 31, 2006

        We generally use cash from our sales of products, lines of credit and sale of securities to provide the capital needed to support our growth.

Cash Used in Operating Activities

        At December 31, 2006, we had $30.2 million in cash, a decrease of $22.5 million from December 31, 2005. During the year ended December 31, 2006, we continued to leverage our bank and vendor lines of credit, in addition to capital raised in the beginning of 2006 to fund our growth. The net cash used by operating activities was $7.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2006, which resulted primarily from increased accounts receivable and increased inventory levels. The $18.0 million increase in accounts receivable at December 31, 2006 was primarily due to increased sales prior to the period end reported. In addition there was also an increase in our inventory, including prepaid inventory, of $4.1 million. These increases were partially offset by an increase in accounts payable of $12.1 million.

        Our discontinued operations provided cash of $15,000 for the year ended December 31, 2006, as compared with cash used of $531,000 for the year ended December 31, 2005. The combined effect of continued and discontinued operations resulted in an increase of cash used in operations to $7.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to $6.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2005.

Days of Sales Outstanding

The cash used for investing activities related primarily to our new facility in Mexico including warehouse, operations, engineering and sales facilities added during the year ended December 31, 2006.

Net Cash Provided from Financing Activities

        Net cash provided by financing activities was $30.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 as compared with $9.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. The difference is primarily the result of the January 2006 sale of 2.2 million shares of our common stock and 717,200 warrants (including 57,200 issued to placement agents) to purchase our common stock for net proceeds of $13.4 million. We also received approximately $1.3 million from the exercise of employee stock options in addition to net borrowings, of $15.6 million, on our bank line of credit. We increased the amount drawn on our revolving line of credit to $25.6 million at December 31, 2006 as compared to $10.0 million at December 31, 2005. The increased borrowing was necessary to finance our growth.

Working Capital

        Our net working capital at December 31, 2006 was $36.7 million, compared with $17.0 million at December 31, 2005. This increase was primarily due to our January 2006 sale of common stock and related warrants to purchase our common stock and net income for the year ended December 31, 2006.

Borrowings

        The Company hasUntil April 30, 2008, we had a line of credit from Wells Fargo HSBC Trade Bank N.A., which providesprovided for advances not to exceed 80% of eligible domestic accounts receivable and up to 85% of foreign-insured accounts receivable (depending on the country of the debtor), up to a maximum of $30 million.

        On April 30, 2008, we entered into a Loan, Security and Bulk Purchase Agreement and a Letter of Credit and Security Agreement with Wells Fargo Century, Inc., replacing the then existing asset-based secured credit facility with Wells Fargo HSBC Trade Bank, N.A. Pursuant to the Wells Fargo Century line of credit, we may obtain advances of up to $45,000,000 based on the expected collections of eligible receivables as well as value of our eligible inventory determined in accordance with the Wells Fargo Century line of credit. The outstanding advances may not exceed the lesser of (i) $45,000,000 or (ii) the sum of the value of the eligible receivables and eligible inventory multiplied by their respective advance rates as set forth in the agreement ($26.8 million as of December 31, 2008). The Wells Fargo Century line of credit has a two-year term ending April 2010 and is secured by all of our assets. The interest rate for each borrowing under the Wells Fargo Century line of credit is, at our option, either the Wells Fargo Bank N.A. prime rate minus 0.50% (2.75% at December 31, 2008) or the LIBOR rate plus 2.00% (3.83% at December 31, 2008). We believe we were in compliance with the terms of the Wells Fargo Century line of credit at December 31, 2008. As of December 31, 2007,2008, the majority of our debt was based on foreign-insured accounts receivable.

        Interest is payable on a monthly basis (i) at Wells Fargo's prime rate minus 0.25% (5.25% at March 20, 2008) or (ii) at the one-month LIBOR plus 1.50% (2.61% plus 1.50% at March 20, 2008). The interest rate is floating at Wells Fargo's prime rate or is at LIBOR plus 1.5% if the debt is a fixed amount drawn upon. The line of credit is collateralized by substantially all of our assets, and expires October 1, 2008. In addition to reporting and other non-financial covenants, the line of credit contains certain financial covenants which require us to maintain a tangible net worth of not less than $30 million plus 50% of net profit after tax from January 1, 2007, a pre-tax profit of not less than $1 on a rolling four quarter basis, a quick ratio of not less than one-to-one, a debt-to-net worth ratio of not greater than two-to-one, and an annual net income after taxes of at least $1. At December 31, 2007, the Company did not meet the financial covenants related to pretax profit or net income. The Company received a waiver from Wells Fargo relating to default rights Wells Fargo may have due to the Company failing to meet certain of these financial covenants at December 31, 2007. The Company cannot provide assurance that it will or will not be able to comply with the financial covenants in the future and may seek additional waivers, which may or may not be granted. The Company is expected to request a waiver for the period ended March 31, 2008.

We have no other debt financing payable.

        At December 31, 20072008 and December 31, 2006,2007, the amounts drawn against theour applicable line of credit were $26.8$14.3 million and $25.6$26.8 million, respectively.

base of available funds. At December 31, 20072008 and December 31, 2006,2007, advances were at 96%66% and 92%96% of the available borrowing base. At February 28, 2009, we had $9.5 million drawn against our line of credit, which was 42% of the available borrowing base.


Critical Accounting Policies

        We believe the following critical accounting policies are important to the presentation of our financial condition and results, and require management's judgments to make estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain.

Revenue Recognition and Allowance for Returns

        Revenues for wireless handset and accessory sales are recognized when (i) shipment of the products to customers has occurred and title has passed, (ii) when collection of the outstanding receivables is probable and (iii) the final price of the products are determined.is determined, which occurs at the time of shipment. Sales are recorded net of discounts, rebates, cooperative arrangements (marketing, training and promotional funds), returns, and allowances. Consideration is given on select sales for cooperative arrangements related to market development, training and special promotions, usually agreed upon in advance. The amount given is generally in the form of a credit memo, which is applied as a reduction of the sale price and such amount is recorded as a current liability. Expenditures made pursuant to the agreed upon activity reduce this liability. To the extent that we incur costs in excess of the established cooperative fund, we recognize that amount as a selling or marketing expense. As part of the sales process, we may perform certain value added services such as programming, software loading and quality assurance testing. These value added services are considered an ancillary component of the sales process and amounts attributable to these processes are included in the unit cost to the customer. Furthermore, these value added services are related to services prior to the shipment of the products, and no value added services are provided after delivery of the products. We recognize a reserve against the related receivables estimates for product returns based on historical experience and other judgmental factors. We evaluate these estimates on an on-going basis and adjust the estimates each period based on actual product return activity. We recognize freight costs billed to our customers in revenue and actual freight costs incurred as a component of cost of sale.sale activity.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

        We recognize allowances for doubtful accounts based on the length of time the receivables are past due, the current business environment and our historical experience. Credit evaluations are undertaken for all major sales transactions before shipment is authorized. Normal payment terms require payment on a net 30 or 60-day basis depending on the customer. On an ongoing basis, we analyze the payment history of customer accounts, including recent customer purchases. We evaluate aged items in accounts receivable and provide reserves for doubtful accounts. Customer creditworthiness and economic conditions may change, including increasedincreasing the risk of collectibilitycollectability and sales returns, and may require additional provisions, which could negatively impact our operating results.

Inventory Write-Off and Effect on Gross Margin

        We regularly monitor inventory quantities on hand and record a provision for excess and obsolete inventories based primarily on historical usage rates and our estimated forecast of product demand for a period of time, generally three months. Because of obsolescence, we will generally provide a full reserve for the costs of our inventories in excess of our relevant demand forecast for the applicable period. We attempt to control our inventory levels so that we limit inventories in excess of demand for the succeeding several months. However, because we need to place non-cancelable orders with significant lead time and because it is difficult to estimate product demand, we sometimes build inventories in excess of demand for the applicable future periods. If this occurs, we provide a reserve, which may have a negative impact on our reported results of operations and financial condition. Such was the case in the fourth quarter of 2007,during 2008, as we adjusted some of our inventory down to market values.


Table of Contents

Contractual Obligations

        We lease corporate and administrative office facilities, and equipment under non-cancelable operating leases. Certain of these leases contain renewal options. Rent expense under these leases was approximately $558,000, $628,000 $417,000 and $300,000$417,000 for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 2006 and 2005,2006, respectively. We also have a revolving line of credit facility, which is shown on our balance sheet as a current liability and the balance was $26.8$14.3 million and $25.6$26.8 million at December 31, 20072008 and 2006,2007, respectively.

        The following is a schedule of aggregate future minimum rental payments required by the above leases. In addition, our future minimum lease requirements include obligations for the retail lease locations we have assigned to a third party, because we remain financially liable should the assignee default on the assigned leases. There are approximately two months of lease payments in escrow that are held by a third party in the event of assignee default. We believe these lease locations are desirable and anticipate that, if necessary, we would be able to find a suitable tenant for these locations within two months after any default by the assignee.

Recently adopted:

        In FebruarySeptember 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB)("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 155 "Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments." SFAS 155 amends SFAS 133 to narrow the scope exception for interest-only and principal-only strips on debt instruments to include only such strips representing rights to receive a specified portion of the contractual interest or principal cash flows. SFAS 155 also amends SFAS 140 to allow qualifying special-purpose entities (SPE) to hold a passive derivative financial instrument pertaining to beneficial interests that itself is a derivative financial instrument. Generally, FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," requires that a derivative embedded in a host contract that does not meet the definition of a derivative be accounted for separately (referred to as bifurcation) under certain conditions. That general rule notwithstanding, SFAS157,Fair Value Measurements (SFAS No. 133 (prior to amendments made to it by SFAS No. 155) provides a broad exception for interest-only and principal-only strips initially resulting from the separation of rights to receive contractual cash flows of a financial instrument that itself does not contain an embedded derivative that would have been accounted for separately. SFAS 155 amends SFAS 133 to restrict the scope exception to strips that represent rights to receive only a portion of the contractual interest cash flows or of the contractual principal cash flows of a specific debt instrument. Prior to amendments made by SFAS 155, SFAS 140, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities," permitted a qualifying SPE to hold only passive derivative financial instruments pertaining to beneficial interests (other than another derivative financial instrument) issued or sold to parties



other than the transferor. SFAS 155 amends SFAS 140 to allow a qualifying SPE to hold a derivative instrument pertaining to beneficial interests that itself is a derivative financial instrument.

        In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156, "Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets", which provides an approach to simplify efforts to obtain hedge-like (offset) accounting. This Statement amends FASB Statement No. 140, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities", with respect to the accounting for separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities. The Statement (1) requires an entity to recognize a servicing asset or servicing liability each time it undertakes an obligation to service a financial asset by entering into a servicing contract in certain situations; (2) requires that a separately recognized servicing asset or servicing liability be initially measured at fair value, if practicable; (3) permits an entity to choose either the amortization method or the fair value method for subsequent measurement for each class of separately recognized servicing assets or servicing liabilities; (4) permits at initial adoption a one-time reclassification of available-for-sale securities to trading securities by an entity with recognized servicing rights, provided the securities reclassified offset the entity's exposure to changes in the fair value of the servicing assets or liabilities; and (5) requires separate presentation of servicing assets and servicing liabilities subsequently measured at fair value in the balance sheet and additional disclosures for all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities. SFAS No. 156 is effective for all separately recognized servicing assets and liabilities as of the beginning of an entity's fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. The Statement also describes the manner in which it should be initially applied. SFAS No. 156 did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

        In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes" ("FIN 48")157). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for income taxes by prescribing a minimum probability threshold that a tax position must meet before a financial statement benefit is recognized. The minimum threshold is defined in FIN 48 as a tax position, that based solely on its technical merits is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by the applicable taxing authority. The tax benefit to be recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. FIN 48 must be applied to all existing tax positions upon initial adoption. The cumulative effect of applying FIN 48 at adoption, if any, is to be reported as an adjustment to opening retained earnings for the year of adoption. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The adoption of FIN 48 did not have a material impact on the Company's results of operations and financial position.

        In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157 "Fair Value Measurements", which defines the fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This statementmeasurement. SFAS No. 157 also emphasizes that fair value is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007,a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement, and interim periodssets out a fair value hierarchy with the highest priority being quoted prices in active markets. Under SFAS No. 157, fair value measurements are disclosed by level within those fiscal years. This did not have a material impact on the Company in 2007.

that hierarchy. In September 2006,February 2008, the FASB issued SFASFASB Staff Position No. 158, "Employers' Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans", which improves financial reporting by requiring an employer to recognize the over or under funded status157-2,Effective Date of a defined benefit postretirement plan as an asset or liability in its statement of financial position and to recognize changes in that funded status in the year in which the changes occur through comprehensive income of a business entity or changes in unrestricted net assets of a not-for-profit organization. This statement also improves financial reporting by requiring an employer to measure the funded status of a plan as of the date of its year end statement of financial position, with limited exceptions. This Statement amends Statement 87, FASB Statement No. 88, "Employers' Accounting157, which permits a one-year deferral for Settlements and Curtailmentsthe implementation of Defined Benefit Pension Plans and for Termination Benefits", Statement 106, and FASB StatementSFAS No. 132 (revised 2003), "Employers' Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits". Upon the initial application of this statement and subsequently, and employer should continue157 with regard to apply the provisions in



Statements, 87, 88, and 106 in measuring plannonfinancial assets and benefit obligations as ofliabilities that are not recognized or disclosed at fair value in the date of its statement of financial position and in determining the amount of net periodic benefit cost. An employer with publicly traded equity securities is required to initially recognize the funded status ofstatements on a defined benefit postretirement plan and to provide the required disclosures as of the end ofrecurring basis. The Company adopted SFAS No. 157 for the fiscal year ending after December 15, 2006. An employer without publicly traded equity securitiesbeginning January 1, 2008, except for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a nonrecurring basis for which delayed application is required to recognize the funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan and to provide the required disclosures as of the end of thepermitted until our fiscal year ending after June 15, 2007. Early application of the recognition or measurement date provisions is encouraged; however, early application must be for all of an employer's benefit plans. Retrospective application of the Statement is not permitted.

        In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 108, "Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements." This SAB No. 108 provides guidance on the consideration of the effects of prior year misstatements in quantifying current year misstatements for the purpose of a materiality assessment. SAB No. 108 establishes an approach that requires quantification of financial statement errors based on the effects of each of the Company's balance sheet and statement of operations financial statements and the related financial statement disclosures. The SAB No. 108 permits existing public companies to record the cumulative effect of initially applying this approach in the first year ending after November 15, 2006 by recording the necessary correcting adjustments to the carrying values of assets and liabilities as of the beginning of that year with the offsetting adjustment recorded to the opening balance of retained earnings. Additionally, the use of the cumulative effect transition method requires detailed disclosure of the nature and amount of each individual error being corrected through the cumulative adjustment and how and when it arose.January 1, 2009. The adoption of SAB 108 didthe remaining provisions of SFAS No. 157 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's results of operations, cash flows, orconsolidated financial position.

        In October 2006, the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) issued EITF 06-3, How Taxes Collected from Customers and Remitted to Governmental Authorities Should Be Presented in the Income Statement (That is, Gross versus Net Presentation) to clarify diversity in practice on the presentation of different types of taxes in the financial statements. The Task Force concluded that, for taxes within the scope of the issue, a company may adopt a policy of presenting taxes either gross within revenue or net. That is, it may include charges to customers for taxes within revenues and the charge for the taxes from the taxing authority within cost of sales, or, alternatively, it may net the charge to the customer and the charge from the taxing authority. If taxes subject to EITF 06-3 are significant, a company is required to disclose its accounting policy for presenting taxes and the amounts of such taxes that are recognized on a gross basis. The guidance in this consensus is effective for the first interim reporting period beginning after December 15, 2006 (the first quarter of our fiscal year 2007). The adoption of EITF 06-3 did not have a material impact on our results of operations, financial position or cash flow.

        In February 2007, the FASB issued SFASStatement No. 159, "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities—Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115" ("SFAS 159")." This standard amends FASB Statement No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investment in Debt and Equity Securities," with respect to accounting for a transfer to the trading category for all entities with available-for-sale and trading securities electing the fair value option. This standard allows companies to elect fair value accounting for many financial instruments and other items that currently are not required to be accounted as such, allows different applications for electing the option for a single item or groups of items, and requires disclosures to facilitate comparisons of similar assets and liabilities that are accounted for differently in relation to the fair value option. SFAS 159 is effective for fiscal years

Recently issued:

        The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) has issued FASB Statements No. 141 (revised 2007) ("SFAS 141R"),Business Combinations, and No. 160 ("SFAS 160"),Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements. These new standards represent the completion of the FASB's first major joint project with the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). The FASB and the IASB first initiated the joint project that resulted in the new standards because U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) differed widely in their approach to accounting for business combinations. The IASB plans to issue its counterpart standards IFRS 3 (revised),Business Combinations, and International Accounting Standard 27 (as revised in 2007),Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements, early next year. The new standards to be issued by the IASB are expected to contain the same fundamental principles as those of the FASB, but will diverge with respect to certain issues.

        In December 2007,SFAS 141(R), the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (Revised 2007), Business Combinations (SFAS 141(R)). The objectiveretained the fundamental requirements of SFAS 141 (R) is to improve reporting by creating greater consistencyaccount for all business combinations using the acquisition method (formerly the purchase method) and for an acquiring entity to be identified in all business combinations. However, the fair value principles in the accounting and financial reporting of business combinations, resulting in more complete,



comparable and relevant information for investors andrevised Statement are a major change from SFAS 141's cost allocation process, together with other users of financial statements.revisions from past practice. Among numerous changes, SFAS 141 (R)141(R) requires the acquiring entity in a business combination to recognize all (and only)to:

    Recognize the assets acquired, andthe liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the transaction; establishesacquiree at the acquisition-dateacquisition date, measured at their fair valuevalues as of that date, with limited exceptions

    Recognize and measure the measurement objective for all assetsgoodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase

    Expense acquisition-related costs, such as legal and liabilities assumed; and requiresdue diligence costs, when incurred

    Recognize any restructuring costs that the acquireracquiring entity expects to discloseincur with respect to the acquired business as an expense, rather than capitalize as part of the acquisition

    Disclose to investors and other users all of the information they need to evaluate and understand the nature and financial effect of the business combination.

        SFAS 141 (R) includes both core160 amends Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51,Consolidated Financial Statements, and requires all entities to report noncontrolling (minority) interests in subsidiaries within equity in the consolidated financial statements, but separate from the parent shareholders' equity. SFAS 160 also requires any acquisitions or dispositions of noncontrolling interests that do not result in a change of control to be accounted for as equity transactions. Further, the Statement requires that a parent recognize a gain or loss in net income when a subsidiary is deconsolidated.

        The final business combinations and noncontrolling interest statements are effective for annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The Statements should be applied on a prospective basis, except for the presentation and disclosure requirements of SFAS 160, which must be applied retrospectively. Entities are prohibited from adopting the Statements before their effective dates. The Company does not believe adoption of SFAS 141(R) and SFAS 160 will have a material effect on the Company's financial statements.

        In March 2008, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161 (SFAS 161) "Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133". SFAS 161 amends and expands the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and

hedging activities. Entities are required to provide enhanced disclosures about (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS 133 and its related interpretations, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity's financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. This statement encourages, but does not require, comparative disclosures for earlier periods at initial adoption. The Company does not believe adoption of SFAS 161 will have a material effect on the Company's financial statements.

        In May 2008, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards SFAS No. 162 ("SFAS 162") "The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles," which identifies the sources of accounting principles and pertinent application guidance, eliminating the needframework for numerous EITF issues and other interpretative guidance, thereby reducingselecting the complexityprinciples to be used in the preparation of existing GAAP.financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with GAAP (the GAAP hierarchy). SFAS 141 (R)162 is effective as60 days following the SEC's approval of the startPublic Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. Management does not expect adoption of SFAS 162 to have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.

        In May 2008, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 163 ("SFAS 163"), "Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 60," which requires that an insurance enterprise recognize a claim liability prior to an event of default (insured event) when there is evidence that credit deterioration has occurred in an insured financial obligation, and clarifies how FASB Statement 60 applies to financial guarantee insurance contracts, including the recognition and measurement to be used to account for premium revenue and claim liabilities, and requires expanded disclosures about financial guarantee insurance contracts.

        In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements (SFAS 160). SFAS 160 improves the relevance, comparability, and transparency of financial information provided to investors by requiring all entities to report non-controlling (minority) interests in subsidiaries in the same way—as equity in the consolidated financial statements. Moreover, SFAS 160 eliminates the diversity that currently exists in accounting for transactions between an entity and non-controlling interests by requiring they be treated as equity transactions. SFAS 160 is effective as of the start of fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. Early adoption is not allowed. We are in the process of evaluating this standard and have not yet determined the impact that the adoption of SFAS 160 will have on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Item 7A.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

        The primary objective of the following information is to provide forward-looking quantitative and qualitative information about our potential exposure to market risks. The term "market risk" for us refers to the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in interest rates and various foreign currencies. The disclosures are not meant to be precise indicators of expected future losses, but rather indicators of reasonably possible losses. This forward-looking information provides indicators of how we view and manage our ongoing market risk exposures.

Interest Rate

        We are exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates on our outstanding revolving line of credit. At December 31, 2007,2008, we had approximately $26.8$14.3 million outstanding, which could be affected by changes in short term interest rates. The interest rate for the revolving line of credit is the prime rate minus 0.25% (5.25%0.50% (2.75% at March 20, 2008)2009) or LIBOR plus 1.50% (2.61% plus 1.50%2.00% (3.22% at March 20, 2008)2009). For every 1% increase in our bank's prime rate or LIBOR, our interest expense would increase by $268,000$143,000 assuming the same $26.8$14.3 million remained outstanding for the entire year.

        The above sensitivity analysis for interest rate risk excludes accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities because of the short-term maturity of such instruments. The analysis does not consider the effect this movement may have on other variables including changes in sales volumes that could be indirectly attributed to changes in interest rates. The actions that we would take in response to such a change are also not considered. If it were possible to quantify this impact, the results could well be different than the sensitivity effects shown above.

Market Risk

        A substantial portion of our revenue and expenses are transacted in markets outside the United States, however all sales transactions and accounts receivable are denominated in U.S. dollars. As a result of our international sales, our future operating results could be adversely affected by a variety of factors, including changes in specific countries' political, economic or regulatory conditions and trade



protection measures. Our market risk management includes an accounts receivable insurance policy for both our domestic and foreign sales. However, there can be no assurance that our insurance policy will substantially offset the impact of fluctuations in currency exchange rates, political, economic or regulatory conditions on its results of operations and financial position. We do not believe that foreign currency fluctuations had did not have a material impact on our financial results during 2008, 2007 2006 or 2005.2006.

        Our management has evaluated,An evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and President and the Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of ourthe design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"), as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act.. Based on thatthe evaluation, ourthe Chief Executive Officer and President and the Chief Financial Officer, have concluded that as of December 31, 2008, the end of the period covered by this Annual Report, ourCompany's disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that (i) information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the Companyreports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company'sour management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and disclosure.

      Management's reportReport on internal control over financial reporting.Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.

        ManagementOur management is responsible for establishing and maintaining an adequate and effective system of internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act. This system is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.Act Rule 13a-15(f). Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and President and Chief Financial Officer, we assessedconducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal controlscontrol over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007.2008 as required by the Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(c). In making this assessment, we used the criteria set forth in the framework in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control—Integrated Framework.Commission.

    Changes in Internal Control Overover Financial Reporting

        There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting during our fourth fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2007,2008, that has materially affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

    (iv)
    Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls.

        Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or internal control over financial reporting will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system no matter how well designed and implemented, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system's objectives will be met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues within a company are detected. The inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple errors or mistakes. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people or by management override of the controls. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
InfoSonics Corporation and subsidiaries
San Diego, California

        We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of InfoSonics Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 20072008 and 2006,2007, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2007.2008. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule of InfoSonics Corporation and subsidiaries listed in Item 15(a). These financial statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

        We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the auditsaudit 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.

        Revenues for wireless handset and accessory sales are recognized upon (i) shipment of the products to customers, (ii) when collection of the outstanding receivables are probable and (iii) the final price of the product is determined.determined, which occurs at the time of shipment. Sales are recorded net of discounts, rebates, cooperative arrangements (marketing, training and promotional funds), returns, and allowances. Consideration is given on select sales for cooperative arrangements related to market development, training and special promotions usually agreed upon in advance. The amount given is generally in the form of a credit memo, which is applied as a reduction of the sale. The same amount is recorded as a current liability. Expenditures made pursuant to the agreed upon activity reduce this liability. To the extent that the Company incurs costs in excess of the established cooperative fund, the Company recognizes the amount as a selling or marketing expense. As part of the sales process, the Company may perform certain valued added services such as programming, software loading and quality assurance testing. These value added services are considered an ancillary component of the sales process and amounts attributable to these processes are included to in the unit cost to the customer. Furthermore, these value added services are related to services prior to the shipment of the products, and no value added services are provided after delivery of the products. The Company recognizes as a reserve against the related receivables estimates for product returns based on historical experience and other judgmental

Comprehensive Income (loss)(Loss)

        The Company utilizes SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income." This statement establishes standards for reporting comprehensive income (loss) and its components in a financial statement. Comprehensive income (loss) as defined includes all changes in equity (net assets) during a period from non-owner sources. The Company's comprehensive loss includes foreign currency translation adjustments which are excluded from net income and are reported as a separate component of shareholders equity as accumulated other comprehensive loss.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

        For consolidated financial statement purposes, cash equivalents are defined as investments which have an original maturity of ninety days or less from the original date of purchase. Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand and in banks and credit card receivables. The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents balances in a bank that from time to time exceed amounts insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (up to $250,000 for interest bearing accounts). As of December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company maintained deposits at numerous banks located throughout the United States, which at times, may exceedtotaling $24.7 million and $20.7 million, respectively, with certain financial institutions in excess of federally insured limits.amounts. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents.cash.

Trade Accounts Receivable

        The Company provides for the possible inability to collect accounts receivable by recording an allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company writes off an account when it is considered to be uncollectible. The Company evaluates the collectibilitycollectability of its accounts receivable on an on-going basis. In circumstances where the Company is aware of a specific customer's inability to meet its financial obligations, the Company records a specific allowance against amounts due to reduce the net recognized receivable to the amount the Company reasonably believes will be collected. For all other customers, the Company recognizes allowances for doubtful accounts based on the length of time the receivables are past due, the current business environment and the Company's historical experience. In certain circumstances, the Company has obtained accounts receivable insurance to mitigate its credit risk. As of December 31, 20072008 and 2006,2007, the allowance for doubtful accounts was $558,342$429,126 and $679,522,$558,342, respectively.

Inventory

        Inventory is stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market and consists primarily of cellular phones and cellular phone accessories. The Company provides for the possible inability to sell its inventory by recording a reserve. As of December 31, 20072008 and 2006,2007, the inventory obsolescence reserve was $580,438$161,556 and $254,508,$580,438, respectively. From time to time the Company has prepaid inventory as a result of payments for products which have not been received by the balance sheet date. As of December 31, 20072008 and 2006,2007, the prepaid inventory balances were $462,000$170 and $162,000,$461,990, respectively.

Property and Equipment

        Property and equipment are stated at cost. The Company provides for depreciation using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives of threeeighteen months to seven years. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred while renewals and betterments are capitalized. Gains or losses on the sale of property and equipment are reflected in the statements of operations.

The carrying amountsbook value of theseall other financial instruments approximate fair value becauseis representative of their short-term maturities.fair values.

Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

        The Company adopted SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." SFAS No. 144 requires impairment losses to be recorded on long-lived assets used in operationoperations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets' carrying amount. Management determined that there was no impairment of long-lived assets during the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 2006 and 2005.2006.

Stock-Based Compensation

        Prior to December 31, 2005, the Company accounted for employee stock option plans based on the intrinsic value method in accordance with Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," and related Interpretations, and had adopted the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123(R), "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" as amended by SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation—Transition and Disclosure." Accordingly, compensation cost for stock options was measured as the excess, if any, of the quoted market price of the Company's stock at the grant date over the amount an employee must pay to acquire the stock. The Company granted stock options with exercise prices equal to the market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant; therefore, the Company did not record stock-based compensation expense under APB Opinion No. 25.

        In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 123(R), "Share-Based Payments," to require that compensation cost relating to share-based payment arrangements be recognized in the financial statements.        As of January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123R using the modified prospective method, which requires measurement of compensation cost for all stock-based awards at fair value on the date of grant and recognition of compensation over the service period for awards expected to vest. The fair value of stock options was determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model, which is

consistent with our valuation techniques previously utilized for stock options in footnote disclosures required under SFAS No. 123(R),123, as amended by SFAS No. 148. Such fair value is recognized as expense over the service period, net of estimated forfeitures.

        Had compensation cost for the Company's stock option plan been determined based on the fair value at the grant date for awards consistent with the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R), the Company's

net income and earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2005 would have been decreased to the pro forma amounts indicated below:

 
 2005
 
Net income as reported $2,707,122 
Stock based employee compensation cost, net of related tax effects, that would have been included in the determination of net income if the fair value method had been applied  (2,958,655)
  
 
Pro forma net loss $(251,533)
  
 
Basic earnings per common share as reported $0.25 
Stock based employee compensation cost, net of related tax effects, that would have been included in the determination of net income if the fair value method had been applied  (0.28)
  
 
Pro forma loss per common share $(0.03)
  
 
Diluted earnings per common share as reported  0.25 
Stock based employee compensation cost, net of related tax effects, that would have been included in the determination of net income if the fair value method had been applied  (0.24)
  
 
Pro forma loss per common share $(0.02)
  
 

        For purposes of computing the pro forma disclosures required by SFAS No. 123(R), the fair value of each option granted to employees and directors is estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions for the years ended December 31, 2005: dividend yield of 0%; expected volatility of 91%; risk-free interest rate of 3.73%; and expected life of 3.0.

        The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options, which do not have vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected stock price volatility. Because the Company's employee stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management's opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its employee stock options.

Advertising Expense

        The Company expenses all advertising costs, including direct response advertising, as they are incurred. Advertising expense for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006 was $2,008,508, $1,409,535, and 2005 was $1,409,535, $130,315, and $145,177 respectively.

Income Taxes

        The Company accounts for income taxes under SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes."Taxes". This statement requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the future consequences

December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005

NOTE 3—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)


of events that have been recognized in the Company's financial statements or tax returns. The measurement of the deferred items is based on enacted tax laws. In the event the future consequences of differences between financial reporting bases and the tax bases of the Company's assets and liabilities result in a deferred tax asset, SFAS No. 109 requires an evaluation of the probability of being able to realize the future benefits indicated by such asset. A valuation allowance related to a deferred tax asset is recorded when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the entire deferred tax asset will not be realized.

        In addition, effective January 1, 2007, the Company adopted FIN 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes-an interpretation of SFASFASB Statement No. 109."109". FIN 48 provides guidance on recognition, derecognition, measurement, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. FIN 48 requires an entity to recognize the financial statement impact of a tax position when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination. The amount recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. In addition, FIN 48 permits an entity to recognize interest and penalties related to tax uncertainties either as income tax expense or operating expenses. The Company has chosen to recognize interest and penalties related to tax uncertainties as operating expense.

        Based on our evaluation, the Company has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in its financial statements. As a result, the adoption of FIN 48 did not have a material impact on the Company's results of operationoperations and financial position.

        The Company is subject to U.S. Federal income tax as well as to income tax of multiple state and foreign country jurisdictions. Federal income tax returns of the Company are subject to IRS examination for the 20042005 through 20062007 tax years. State income tax returns are subject to examination for a period of three to four years after filing.

NOTE 3—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

        The Company utilizes SFAS No. 128, "Earnings per Share." Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed similar to basic earnings (loss) per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. Common equivalent shares are excluded from the computation if their effect is anti-dilutive. The Company's common share equivalents consist of stock options.options and warrants.

        Common shares from exercise of certain options and warrants have been excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because their exercise prices are greater than the Company's weighted-average stock price for the period. For the fiscal years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, the number of shares excluded was 2,339,308, 2,382,226 and 1,896,434, respectively. Since their effect would have been anti-dilutive, for years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, the number of shares excluded was 221,336 and 1,040,586, stock options and warrants to purchase shares of common stock have been excludedrespectively, from the computation of net loss per share for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007.

Segment and Geographic Reporting

        The Company accounts for segments and geographic revenues in accordance with SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information." The Company's reportable segments are strategic business units that offer different products and services. In addition, the Company allocates revenues to geographic areas based on the location to which the product was shipped.

Estimates

        The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Major Suppliers

        The Company contracts with various suppliers. Although there are a limited number of suppliers that could supply the Company's inventory, management believes any shortfalls from existing suppliers might be absorbed from other suppliers on comparable terms; however there are no assurances of such other suppliers providing products on acceptable terms. Furthermore, a change in suppliers could cause a delay in sales and adversely effectaffect results.

        During the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company purchased materials from two suppliers, which accounted for 76%, and 15% of total cost of sales. During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company purchased materials from three suppliers, which accounted for 55%, 17% and 11% of total cost of sales. During the year ended December 31, 2006, the Company purchased materials from two suppliers, which accounted for 59% and 20% of total cost of sales.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Recently adopted:

        In FebruarySeptember 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB)("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 155 "Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments." SFAS 155 amends SFAS 133 to narrow the scope exception for interest-only and principal-only strips on debt instruments to include only such strips representing rights to receive a specified portion of the contractual interest or principal cash flows. SFAS 155 also amends SFAS 140 to allow qualifying special-purpose entities (SPE) to hold a passive derivative financial instrument pertaining to beneficial interests that itself is a derivative financial instrument. Generally, FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157,Fair Value Measurements(SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," requires that a derivative embedded in a host contract that does not meet the definition of a derivative be accounted for separately (referred to as bifurcation) under certain conditions. That general rule notwithstanding, SFAS No. 133 (prior to amendments made to it by SFAS No. 155) provides a broad exception for interest-only and principal-only strips initially resulting from the separation of rights to receive contractual cash flows of a financial instrument that itself does not contain an embedded derivative that would have been accounted for separately. SFAS 155 amends SFAS 133 to restrict the scope exception to strips that represent rights to receive only a portion of the contractual interest cash flows or of the contractual principal cash flows of a specific debt instrument. Prior to amendments made by SFAS 155, SFAS 140, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities," permitted a qualifying SPE to hold only passive derivative financial instruments pertaining to beneficial interests (other than another derivative financial instrument) issued or sold to parties other than the transferor. SFAS 155 amends SFAS 140 to allow a qualifying SPE to hold a derivative instrument pertaining to beneficial interests that itself is a derivative financial instrument.

        In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156, "Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets", which provides an approach to simplify efforts to obtain hedge-like (offset) accounting. This Statement amends FASB Statement No. 140, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities", with respect to the accounting for separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities. The Statement (1) requires an entity to recognize a servicing asset or servicing liability each time it undertakes an obligation to service a financial asset by entering into a servicing contract in certain situations; (2) requires that a separately recognized servicing asset or servicing liability be initially measured at fair value, if practicable; (3) permits an entity to choose either the amortization method or the fair value method for subsequent measurement for each class of separately recognized servicing assets or servicing liabilities; (4) permits at initial adoption a one-time reclassification of available-for-sale securities to trading securities by an entity with recognized servicing rights, provided the securities reclassified offset the entity's exposure to changes in the fair value of the servicing assets or liabilities; and (5) requires separate presentation of servicing assets and servicing liabilities subsequently measured at fair value in the balance sheet and additional disclosures for all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities. SFAS No. 156 is effective for all separately recognized servicing assets and liabilities as of the beginning of an entity's fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. The Statement also describes the manner in which it should be

initially applied. SFAS No. 156 did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

        In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes" ("FIN 48")157). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for income taxes by prescribing a minimum probability threshold that a tax position must meet before a financial statement benefit is recognized. The minimum threshold is defined in FIN 48 as a tax position, that based solely on its technical merits is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by the applicable taxing authority. The tax benefit to be recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. FIN 48 must be applied to all existing tax positions upon initial adoption. The cumulative effect of applying FIN 48 at adoption, if any, is to be reported as an adjustment to opening retained earnings for the year of adoption. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The adoption of FIN 48 did not have a material impact on the Company's results of operations and financial position.

        In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157 "Fair Value Measurements", which defines the fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This statementmeasurement. SFAS No. 157 also emphasizes that fair value is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007,a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement, and interim periodssets out a fair value hierarchy with the highest priority being quoted prices in active markets. Under SFAS No. 157, fair value measurements are disclosed by level within those fiscal years. This did not have a material impact on the Company in 2007.

that hierarchy. In September 2006,February 2008, the FASB issued SFASFASB Staff Position No. 158, "Employers' Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans", which improves financial reporting by requiring an employer to recognize the over or under funded status157-2,Effective Date of a defined benefit postretirement plan as an asset or liability in its statement of financial position and to recognize changes in that funded status in the year in which the changes occur through comprehensive income of a business entity or changes in unrestricted net assets of a not-for-profit organization. This statement also improves financial reporting by requiring an employer to measure the funded status of a plan as of the date of its year end statement of financial position, with limited exceptions. This Statement amends Statement 87, FASB Statement No. 88, "Employers' Accounting157,which permits a one-year deferral for Settlements and Curtailmentsthe implementation of Defined Benefit Pension Plans and for Termination Benefits", Statement 106, and FASB StatementSFAS No. 132 (revised 2003), "Employers' Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits". Upon the initial application of this statement and subsequently, and employer should continue157 with regard to apply the provisions in Statements, 87, 88, and 106 in measuring plannonfinancial assets and benefit obligations as ofliabilities that are not recognized or disclosed at fair value in the date of its statement of financial position and in determining the amount of net periodic benefit cost. An employer with publicly traded equity securities is required to initially recognize the funded status ofstatements on a defined benefit postretirement plan and to provide the required disclosures as of the end ofrecurring basis. The Company adopted SFAS No. 157 for the fiscal year ending after December 15, 2006. An employer without publicly traded equity securitiesbeginning January 1, 2008, except for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a nonrecurring basis for which delayed application is required to recognize the funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan and to provide the required disclosures as of the end of thepermitted until our fiscal year ending after June 15, 2007. Early application of the recognition or measurement date provisions is encouraged; however, early application must be for all of an employer's benefit plans. Retrospective application of the Statement is not permitted.

        In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 108, "Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements." This SAB No. 108 provides guidance on the consideration of

the effects of prior year misstatements in quantifying current year misstatements for the purpose of a materiality assessment. SAB No. 108 establishes an approach that requires quantification of financial statement errors based on the effects of each of the Company's balance sheet and statement of operations financial statements and the related financial statement disclosures. The SAB No. 108 permits existing public companies to record the cumulative effect of initially applying this approach in the first year ending after November 15, 2006 by recording the necessary correcting adjustments to the carrying values of assets and liabilities as of the beginning of that year with the offsetting adjustment recorded to the opening balance of retained earnings. Additionally, the use of the cumulative effect transition method requires detailed disclosure of the nature and amount of each individual error being corrected through the cumulative adjustment and how and when it arose.January 1, 2009. The adoption of SAB 108 didthe remaining provisions of SFAS No. 157 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's results of operations, cash flows, orconsolidated financial position.statements.

        In October 2006, the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) issued EITF 06-3, How Taxes Collected from Customers and Remitted to Governmental Authorities Should Be Presented in the Income Statement (That is, Gross versus Net Presentation) to clarify diversity in practice on the presentation of different types of taxes in the financial statements. The Task Force concluded that, for taxes within the scope of the issue, a company may adopt a policy of presenting taxes either gross within revenue or net. That is, it may include charges to customers for taxes within revenues and the charge for the taxes from the taxing authority within cost of sales, or, alternatively, it may net the charge to the customer and the charge from the taxing authority. If taxes subject to EITF 06-3 are significant, a company is required to disclose its accounting policy for presenting taxes and the amounts of such taxes that are recognized on a gross basis. The guidance in this consensus is effective for the first interim reporting period beginning after December 15, 2006 (the first quarter of our fiscal year 2007). The adoption of EITF 06-3 did not have a material impact on our results of operations, financial position or cash flow.

        In February 2007, the FASB issued SFASStatement No. 159, "The"The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities—Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115.115" ("SFAS 159"). This standard amends FASB Statement No. 115, "Accounting"Accounting for Certain Investment in Debt and Equity Securities," with respect to accounting for a transfer to the trading category for all entities with available-for-sale and trading securities electing the fair value option. This standard allows companies to elect fair value accounting for many financial instruments and other items that currently are not required to be accounted as such, allows different applications for electing the option for a single item or groups of items, and requires disclosures to facilitate comparisons of similar assets and liabilities that are accounted for differently in relation to the fair value option. SFAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. If elected, the implementationThe adoption of SFAS 159 isdid not expected to have a material impact on the our consolidatedCompany's results of operations and financial statements.position.

Recently issued:

        The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) has issued FASB Statements No. 141 (revised 2007) ("SFAS 141R"),Business Combinations,and No. 160 ("SFAS 160"),Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements.These new standards represent the completion of the FASB's first major joint project with the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). The FASB and the IASB first initiated the joint project that resulted in the new standards because U.S. generally accepted

accounting principles and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) differed widely in their approach to accounting for business combinations. The IASB plans to issue its counterpart standards IFRS 3 (revised),Business Combinations,and International Accounting Standard 27 (as revised in 2007),Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements,early next year. The new standards to be issued by the IASB are expected to contain the same fundamental principles as those of the FASB, but will diverge with respect to certain issues.

        In December 2007,SFAS 141(R), the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (Revised 2007), "Business Combinations" (SFAS 141(R)). The objectiveretained the fundamental requirements of SFAS 141 (R) is to improve reporting by creating greater consistencyaccount for all business combinations using the acquisition method (formerly the purchase method) and for an acquiring entity to be identified in all business combinations. However, the fair value principles in the accounting and financial reporting of business combinations, resulting in more complete, comparable and relevant information for investors andrevised Statement are a major change from SFAS 141's cost allocation process, together with other users of financial statements.revisions from past practice. Among numerous changes, SFAS 141 (R)141(R) requires the acquiring entity in a business combination to recognize all (and only)to:

    Recognize the assets acquired, andthe liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the transaction; establishesacquiree at the acquisition-dateacquisition date, measured at their fair valuevalues as of that date, with limited exceptions

    Recognize and measure the measurement objective for all assetsgoodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase

    Expense acquisition-related costs, such as legal and liabilities assumed; and requiresdue diligence costs, when incurred

    Recognize any restructuring costs that the acquireracquiring entity expects to discloseincur with respect to the acquired business as an expense, rather than capitalize as part of the acquisition

    Disclose to investors and other users all of the information they need to evaluate and understand the nature and financial effect of the business combination.

        SFAS 160 amends Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51,Consolidated Financial Statements,and requires all entities to report noncontrolling (minority) interests in subsidiaries within equity in the consolidated financial statements, but separate from the parent shareholders' equity. SFAS 160 also requires any acquisitions or dispositions of noncontrolling interests that do not result in a change of control to be accounted for as equity transactions. Further, the Statement requires that a parent recognize a gain or loss in net income when a subsidiary is deconsolidated.

        The final business combinations and noncontrolling interest statements are effective for annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The Statements should be applied on a prospective basis, except for the presentation and disclosure requirements of SFAS 160, which must be applied retrospectively. Entities are prohibited from adopting the Statements before their effective dates The Company does not believe adoption of SFAS 141(R) and SFAS 160 will have a material effect on the Company's financial statements.

        In March 2008, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161 (SFAS 161) "Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133". SFAS 161 amends and expands the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and hedging activities. Entities are required to provide enhanced disclosures about (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS 133 and its related interpretations, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity's financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. This statement encourages, but does not

naturerequire, comparative disclosures for earlier periods at initial adoption. The Company does not believe adoption of SFAS 161 will have a material effect on the Company's financial statements.

        In May 2008, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards SFAS No. 162 ("SFAS 162") "The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles," which identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles to be used in the preparation of financial effectstatements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with GAAP (the GAAP hierarchy). SFAS 162 is effective 60 days following the SEC's approval of the business combination.Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. Management does not expect adoption of SFAS 141 (R) includes both core principles162 to have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.

        In May 2008, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 163 ("SFAS 163"), "Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 60," which requires that an insurance enterprise recognize a claim liability prior to an event of default (insured event) when there is evidence that credit deterioration has occurred in an insured financial obligation, and pertinent application guidance, eliminatingclarifies how FASB Statement 60 applies to financial guarantee insurance contracts, including the needrecognition and measurement to be used to account for numerous EITF issuespremium revenue and other interpretative guidance, thereby reducing the complexity of existing GAAP.claim liabilities, and requires expanded disclosures about financial guarantee insurance contracts.

        In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, "Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements" (SFAS 160). SFAS 160 improves the relevance, comparability, and transparency of financial information provided to investors by requiring all entities to report non-controlling (minority) interests in subsidiaries in the same way—as equity in the consolidated financial statements. Moreover, SFAS 160 eliminates the diversity that currently exists in accounting for transactions between an entity and non-controlling interests by requiring they be treated as equity transactions. SFAS 160 is effective as of the start of fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. Early adoption is not allowed. We are in the process of evaluating this standard and have not yet determined the impact that the adoption of SFAS 160 will have on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

            On January 21, 2005, the Company granted options to purchase 670,000 shares of the Company's common stock to its executives and employees. The exercise price is $1.65. These options vest the later of one year from date of hire, or date of grant.

    NOTE 8—STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY (Continued)purchase 183,000 shares of the Company's common stock to its employees. The exercise price was $1.04. These options vest over a period of four years. During 2008, 44,500 of these options were returned to the plan as they were forfeited due to a termination.

            Our stock options vest on an annual or a monthly basis. As of December 31, 2007,2008, there was $103,389$116,296 of total unrecognized compensation costs related to the non-vested stock options. The Company recognizes stock-based compensation costs on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award, which is generally the option vesting term. That cost is expected to be recognized over the next weighted-average period of 2.25 years. Such amounts may change as a result of additional grants, forfeitures, modifications in assumptions and other factors. SFAS No. 123R provides that income tax effects of share-based payments are recognized in the financial statements for those awards which will normally result in tax deductions under existing tax law. During the year ended December 31, 2007,2008, we recorded an expense of $271,418$93,522 related to options granted to our non-employee directors. These options had been granted prior to January 1, 2006. Under current U.S. federal tax law, we would receive a compensation expense deduction related to non-qualified stock options only when those options are exercised and vested shares are received. Accordingly, the financial statement recognition of compensation cost for non-qualified stock options creates a deductible temporary difference which results in a deferred tax asset and a corresponding deferred tax benefit in the income statement.

            The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions used for grants in 2008, 2007 2006 and 2005:2006: risk-free interest rate of 1.47% in 2008, 4.66% in 2007 and between 4.88% and 5.04% in 2006, and 3.73% in 2005 based on the U.S. Treasury yields in effect at the time of grant; expected dividend yields of 0% as the Company has not, and does not intend to, issue dividends; and expected lives of 3 to 7 years based upon the historical exercise patternslife of the Company's options. For grants in 2008, 2007 2006 and 2005,2006, the expected volatility used ranged from 62%to 91%, based on the Company's historical stock price fluctuations for a period matching the expected life of the options.
