ZAGG INC AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollars, units, & shares in thousands, except per share data)
(Unaudited)
(1) NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
ZAGG Inc and its subsidiaries (“we,” “us,” “our,” “ZAGG,ZAGG,” or the “Company”) are innovation leaders in mobile tech accessories for smartphones and tablets. For over 10 years, ZAGGthe Company has developed creative product solutions that enhance and protect mobile devices for consumers around the world. The Company has an award-winning product portfolio that includes screen protection, power cases, power management, wireless charging, personal audio, mobile keyboards, and cases, sold under the ZAGG®, InvisibleShield®, mophie®, IFROGZ®, and IFROGZ®BRAVEN® brands.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) that, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the financial position, the results of operations, and cash flows of the Company for the periods presented. The Company suggests that these condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K.10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 (the “2017 Form 10-K”). Operating results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP 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 condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Significant Accounting Policies
The Company’s significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 to the Company’s Annual Report on2017 Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.10-K. Except for the changes below, the Company has consistently applied the accounting policies to all periods presented in these condensed consolidated financial statements.
Adoption of ASCAccounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, "Revenue“Revenue from Contracts with Customers"Customers”
The Company adopted ASC Topic 606 "Revenue, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers" ("Customers” (“Topic 606"606”) with a date of initial application of January 1, 2018. As a result of this adoption, the Company has changed its accounting policy for revenue recognition as detailed below.
The Company applied Topic 606 on January 1, 2018, using the modified retrospective approach, with the cumulative effect of adopting the new standard being recognized in retained earnings at January 1, 2018. Therefore, the prior period comparative information has not been adjusted and continues to be reported under ASC Topic 605.605, “Revenue Recognition” (“Topic 605”). The adoption of Topic 606 resulted in an increase in accounts receivable of $115; an increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets of $1,255 for the recognition of the right of return assets; an increase in accrued liabilities of $314; an increase in sales return liability of $5,250 for the recognition of the sales return liability on a gross basis and for the change in estimating refund liabilities under Topic 606; an increase in accrued liabilities of $314; a decrease in deferred revenue of $314; and a decrease of $3,880 in retained earnings as a cumulative effect of adoption. The largest driver of changes for the adoption of Topic 606 was the change in estimate for price concessions offered to end customers. Under Topic 605, price concessions to end customers were recognized when such incentives were explicitly offered to the end customer, whereas under Topic 606 such incentives are estimated and recorded at the time of the sale of products to the Company’s customers.

Revenue recognition accounting policy
The Company’s revenue is primarily derived from (1) sales of ourits products through ourits indirect channel, including retailers and distributors; (2) sales of ourits products through ourits direct channel, including www.ZAGG.com and www.mophie.com  (The URLs are included here as inactive textual references and information contained on, or accessible through, ourthe websites is not a part of, and is not incorporated by reference into, this report) and ourits corporate-owned ZAGG-branded store; and (3) from franchise fees derived from the on-boarding of new franchisees and the sales of ourits products to franchisees. The Company’s revenue is measured based on the amount of consideration we expectit expects to receive, reduced by estimates for variable consideration which includes sales returns, discounts, and other credits. The observable standalone selling prices of products sold are based on the prices charged to customers and are mutually agreed upon by both parties before any orders are authorized.

For substantially all of ourthe Company's sales, the performance obligation is met and revenue is recognized at a point in time when control of the goods is transferred to the customer, which generally occurs upon delivery to the carriercustomer or to the customer. shipping carrier.
For franchise fees, revenue is derived from the sale of licenses, training, equipment and marketing, among other items. We recognizeThe Company recognizes franchise fee revenue for performance obligations on a straight-line basis over the franchise term.contractual term using a straight-line basis.
Taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction, thatand are collected by the Company from a customer, are excluded from revenue.
Sales returns, discounts and other credits
The nature of ourthe Company’s contracts gives rise to several types of variable consideration, including sales returns, discounts, and other credits. Certain customers receive credit-based incentives or credits, which are accounted for as variable consideration in the form of credit memos off future purchases from the Company. We estimateThe Company estimates these amounts based on the expected amount to be provided to customers and reducereduces revenue accordingly on the invoice date.for each transaction.
We estimateThe Company estimates a reserve for sales returns, discounts, and other credits, and recordrecords the respective estimated reserve amounts, including a right to return asset when a product is expected to be returned and resold. Historical experience, actual claims, and customer return rights are the key factors used in determining the estimated sales returns, discounts, and other credits.

Practical expedients and policy elections
The Company applies the following practical expedients in its application of Topic 606:
• The Company does not adjust the transaction price for significant financing components for periods less than one year.
• The Company recognizes the incremental costs of obtaining contracts as an expense when incurred if the amortization period of the assets that the Company otherwise would have recognized is one year or less. These costs are included in selling, general, and administrative expenses.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements 
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842),”which requires lessees to recognize most leases, including operating leases, on-balance sheet via a right of use asset and lease liability. Lessees are allowed to account for short-term leases (i.e., leases with a term of 12 months or less) off-balance sheet, consistent with current operating lease accounting. A number of other significant changes to lease accounting have been effected through the issuance of this standard. The requirements of the new standard for leases shall be recognized and measured at the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented. When adopted, the Company will be required to adjust equity at the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented, and the other comparative amounts disclosed for each prior period presented in the financial statements, as if the requirements of the new standard had always been applied. The new standard also contains practical expedients which the Company may elect to follow. The new standard is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements, including whether to elect the practical expedients outlined in the new standard.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02, “Leases” (“Topic 842”),which modifies the accounting for leases, intending to increase transparency and comparability of organizations by requiring balance sheet presentation of leased assets and increased financial statement disclosure of leasing arrangements. Topic 842 will require entities to recognize a liability for their lease obligations and a corresponding asset representing the right to use the underlying asset over the lease term. Lease obligations are to be measured at their present value and accounted for using the effective interest method. The accounting for the leased asset will differ slightly depending on whether the agreement is deemed to be a financing or operating lease. For financing leases, the leased asset is depreciated on a straight-line basis and depreciation expense is recorded separately from the interest expense in the statements of operations, resulting in higher expense in the earlier part of the lease term. For operating leases, the depreciation and interest expense components are combined, recognized evenly over the term of the lease, and presented as a reduction to operating income. Topic 842 requires that assets and liabilities be presented or disclosed separately, and requires additional disclosure of certain qualitative and quantitative information related to these lease agreements. Topic 842 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018. In addition, in July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-11 “Targeted Improvements” to provide an additional transition method whereby entities are allowed to initially apply Topic 842 by adjusting equity at the adoption date. The Company plans to adopt the standard using the modified retrospective approach beginning January 1, 2019. The Company expects to elect the package of practical expedients upon adoption, which allows for the application of the standard solely to the transition period in 2019 but does not require application to prior fiscal comparative periods presented.
Reclassification of Prior Year Presentation
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on reported results of operations. A reclassification has been made with a $2,347 reduction to accrued liabilities and a $2,347 increase to sales returns liability.liability, both current liabilities.
(2) ACQUISITION OF BRAVEN
On July 20, 2018 (the “Acquisition Date”), ZAGG Amplified, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Buyer”), entered into and closed an asset purchase agreement with Incipio LLC (“Incipio”) to acquire BRAVEN Audio (“BRAVEN”) (the “BRAVEN Acquisition”). In connection with the BRAVEN Acquisition, the Buyer acquired accounts receivable, inventory, property and equipment, intellectual property, a product and engineering team, and certain other assets as well as assumed certain liabilities for total consideration of $5,000 in cash, adjusted by accounts receivable and accounts payable of $549 for a net purchase price of $4,451. As agreed in the purchase agreement, the Buyer retained a reserve of $500 for indemnity claims to be paid 12 months (the “Indemnity Holdback") following the Acquisition Date; the Indemnity Holdback is included in accrued liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2018. Any remaining amount of the Indemnity Holdback shall be remitted to Incipio as specified in the purchase agreement. BRAVEN products include rugged Bluetooth® speakers and earbuds, which are expected to expand the Company’s product profile and markets and may amplify its brands and increase the long-term value of its business.
The following summarizes the purchase consideration and the cash outflow at the Acquisition Date:
September 30, 2018
Net purchase price$4,451 
Indemnity Holdback(500)
Total cash outflow$3,951 

10

The net purchase price of $4,451 has been allocated to identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their respective fair values. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed is recorded as goodwill. The following table summarizes the estimates of the fair values of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the Acquisition Date:
September 30, 2018
Accounts receivable $650 
Inventory 2,320 
Property and equipment 368 
Amortizable identifiable intangible assets 1,774 
Goodwill 298 
Accounts payable (959)
Total $4,451 
Identifiable Intangible Assets
Classes of acquired intangible assets include patents and technology, trade names and backlog. The fair value of the identifiable intangible assets was determined using various valuation methods, including the income and cost approaches. For assets valued under the income approach, the estimate of the present value of expected future cash flows for each identifiable asset was based on discount rates which incorporate a risk premium to take into account the risks inherent in those expected cash flows. The expected cash flows were estimated using available historical data adjusted based on the Company’s historical experience and the expectations of market participants. The cost approach determined the valuation of the identifiable intangible assets by applying the concept of replacement cost whereby a prudent investor is believed not willing to pay for an asset more than the cost to replace such asset. The amounts assigned to each class of intangible asset and the related weighted average amortization periods are as follows:
Intangible Asset ClassWeighted Average Amortization Period
Patents and technology $872 3.1 years
Trade names 901 10.0 years
Backlog 1 0.5 years
Total $1,774 
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the BRAVEN purchase price over the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The Company believes that the primary factors supporting the amount of the goodwill recognized are the significant growth opportunities and expected synergies of the combined entity.

There was no change in goodwill during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017.
In connection with the BRAVEN Acquisition, intangible assets increased $1,774 for patents and technology, trade names and backlog for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018. There were no additions to intangible assets for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017. There were no impairments of intangible assets for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2018. There were also no additions to intangible assets for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017. Additionally, there were no impairments to intangible assets for the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2017. The following table summarizes the impairments of gross intangible assets for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2017:
Balance as of December 31, 2016$108,659 
Impairment loss on patent(2,777)
JuneBalance as of September 30, 2017$105,882 
On April 11, 2017, the Company received a final court order stating that the claims of one of its patents were either not patentable or canceled. Accordingly, management determined that the patent’s carrying value was not recoverable through future cash flows and was impaired as of March 31, 2017. Consequently, for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2017, the Company recorded an impairment loss to intangible assets consisting of a reduction of gross carrying amount of $2,777, accumulated amortization of $818, and net carrying value of $1,959 to reduce the net carrying value of the canceled patent to $0.
Intangible assets, net of accumulated amortization as of JuneSeptember 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, were as follows:

(4)(5) INCOME TAXES
For interim periods, the tax provision is determined utilizing an estimate of the Company’s annual effective tax rate adjusted for discrete items, if any. The Company'sCompany’s effective tax rate for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2018 was 23%18% and 15%17%, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2017 was 31%37% and (24)%47%, respectively. The change in the effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2018 compared to the three and nine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2017 was due to several factors including but not limited to a change in the federal statutory rate from 35% to 21% and an increase to income in foreign jurisdictions. The change in the effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2017 was due to several factors including but not limited to a change in the federal statutory rate from 35% to 21%, a change to book income in the second quartereffect of 2018 compared to a book loss in the second quarter of 2017, and an increase to income from foreign jurisdictions.discrete items. The Company’s effective tax rate will generally differ from the U.S. Federal statutory rate of 21%, due to state taxes, permanent items, the Company’s global tax strategy, and the inclusion of global intangible low taxed income and the corresponding foreign tax credit.

On April 12, 2018, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Credit and Security Agreement (the “New Credit Agreement”) with KeyBank National Association, as Administrative Agent, Swing Line Lender and Issuing Lender, KeyBanc Capital Markets Inc., as Sole Lead Arranger and Sole Book Runner, and other members of the lender group.
The New Credit Agreement consists of an $85,000 secured revolving credit facility (the “Revolver”), which is not subject to borrowing base limitations. In addition, at the Company’s option, up to $40,000 of the Revolver may be made available for the issuance of letters of credit. Proceeds from the Revolver were used to fully retire the term loan and thus the Revolver is the only credit instrument effective April 12, 2018. The Company had a loss of $243 of deferred loan costs that were written off as of the New Credit Agreement effective date, and the Company carried over $522$521 of previously capitalized deferred loan costs with the modification of the existing debt. The Company capitalized $294 in additional debt issuance costs, for a new beginning balance of $815 of deferred loan costs, with $780$739 remaining as of September 30, 2018 to be amortized which is included in other assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheet.
The Revolver initially bears interest at an annual rate, at the Company’s option, of (i) the Base Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus a margin of 0.25% to 1.375% based on the prior quarter-end Leverage Ratio or (ii) the Eurodollar Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus a margin of 1.25% to 2.375% based on the prior quarter-end Leverage Ratio. The Revolver matures April 11, 2023, subject to early termination in the event of default.
In addition, the Company is required to pay a monthly Applicable Commitment Fee Rate (as defined in the New Credit Agreement) that can fluctuate between 0.175% and 0.275% based on the Leverage Ratio (as defined in the New Credit Agreement). The commitment fee is calculated monthly using the Maximum Revolving Amount (as defined in the New Credit Agreement) at the end of each calendar month, minus the Revolving Credit Exposure (exclusive of the Swing Line Exposure) (each as defined in the New Credit Agreement) at the end of such day, multiplied by the Applicable Commitment Fee Rate in effect on such day divided by three hundred sixty (360). The monthly commitment fee is payable quarterly in arrears, commencing on July 1, 2018 and continuing on each regularly scheduled payment date thereafter.

11

The New Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties and restrictive covenants. The New Credit Agreement also contains affirmative and negative covenants requiring, among other things, the Company to meet certain financial ratio tests and to provide certain information to the lenders. The New Credit Agreement also includes financial maintenance covenants that require compliance with a Leverage Ratio and a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (each as defined in the New Credit Agreement), tested at the end of each fiscal quarter commencing with the three months ended June 30, 2018.
The New Credit Agreement also contains customary events of default. If an event of default occurs, the lenders under the Credit Agreement would be entitled to take various actions, including the acceleration of amounts due thereunder and all other actions permitted to be taken by a secured creditor.
As part of the New Credit Agreement, the lockbox arrangement requirement in the prior agreement was terminated and thus the Company now has full dominion of cash upon receipt from customers. Because of the lockbox arrangement in the prior agreement, amounts outstanding under the Revolver were classified as a current liability because cash receipts were required to be automatically swept against the Revolver. Because the New Credit Agreement does not have a lockbox arrangement and the Revolver does not mature until 2023, the Revolver is classified as a non-current liability.

The fair value of the restricted stock units granted is based on the closing share price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. The restricted stock units vest annually on a straight-line basis over a nine-month (annual board of directors’ grant) to a three-year vesting term, depending on the terms of the individual grant.
As part of the 278293 and 434479 restricted stock units granted during the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company granted 167182 and 372 restricted stock units, respectively, to certain executives and employees of the Company where vesting is linked to specific performance criterion. These performance-based restricted stock units only vest upon the (1) Company’s achievement of specified thresholds of net sales, Adjusted EBITDA, or specific goals for the individual executive, and (2) continued employment through the applicable vesting date.
The estimated fair value of the restricted stock units is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award, which is generally the vesting term of the award. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company recordedThe following is stock-based compensation expenseexpenses related to restricted stock units of $807 and $1,408, respectively.

During the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2018 and 2017, certain ZAGGCompany employees elected to receive a net amount of shares upon the vesting of restricted stock unit grants in exchange for the Company paying up to the maximum statutory withholding amount of the employees’ tax liabilities for the fair value of the award on the vesting date. This resulted in the Company recording $2,631$2,723 and $240 reflected as a reduction of additional paid-in capital, respectively. Of the $2,631$2,723 recorded as a reduction of additional paid-in capital,$21 $93 was included in accrued wages and wage related expenses as of JuneSeptember 30, 2018.
(7)(8) EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE
Basic earnings (loss) per common share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net earnings (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per common share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if stock options and restricted stock, or other common stock equivalents were exercised or converted into common stock. The dilutive effect of stock options or other common stock equivalents is calculated using the treasury stock method.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of our financial statements requires that we make estimates and judgments. We base these on historical experience and on other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable. Our critical accounting policies are discussed in Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of our Annual Report on2017 Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.10-K. There have been no material changes to the critical accounting policies or estimates previously disclosed in that report except for the implementation of certain estimates for revenue recognition under Topic 606 as disclosed below.

19

Revenue recognition accounting policy
The Company’sOur revenue is derived from (1) sales of our products through our indirect channel, including retailers and distributors; (2) sales of our products through our direct channel, including www.ZAGG.com and www.mophie.com, and our corporate-owned ZAGG-branded store; and (3) from franchise fees derived from the on-boarding of new franchisees. The Company’sOur revenue is measured based on the amount of consideration we expect to receive, reduced by estimates for sales returns, discounts, and other credits. The observable standalone selling prices of products sold are based on the prices charged to customers and are mutually agreed upon by both parties before any orders are authorized.
21

For substantially all of our sales, revenue is recognized at a point in time when control of the goods is transferred to the customer, which generally occurs upon delivery to the carrier or the customer. For franchise fees, revenue is derived from the sale of licenses, training, inventory and equipment and marketing, among other items. We recognize revenue for performance obligations on a straight-line basis over the franchise term.
Taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction, that are collected by the Companyus from a customer, are excluded from revenue.
Topic 606 has required significant changes to how the Company'sour revenue is recognized. Updates to the Company'sour accounting policies have been made as part of adoption of this new standard. These changes to the Company'sour accounting policies and procedures under the new standard have most significantly impacted the estimates previously used to determine the company'sour sales returns, discounts and other credits. The new reservevariable consideration calculations for these estimates apply assumptions allowable underrequired by Topic 606, which require judgment. In applying these new assumptions, and in the application of Topic 606, the Company haswe have determined that the updated accounting policies and estimates to ensure compliance under Topic 606 continue to be critical accounting policies and estimates.
Sales returns, discounts and other credits
The nature of our contracts gives rise to several types of variable consideration, including sales returns, discounts, and other credits. Certain customers receive credit-based incentives or credits, which are accounted for as variable consideration in the form of credit memos off future purchases from the Company.us. We estimate these amounts based on the expected amount to be provided to customers and reduce revenue accordingly on the invoice date.
We estimate a reservevariable consideration for sales returns, discounts, and other credits, and record the respective estimated reserve amounts, including a right to return asset when a product is expected to be returned and resold. Historical experience, actual claims, and customer return rights are the key factors used in determining the estimated sales returns, discounts, and other credits.

These expenditures are partially offset by $19,957$19,858 generated from operating activities.
Accounts receivable, net of allowances, decreased to $83,990$115,801 on JuneSeptember 30, 2018, from $123,220 on December 31, 2017, a decrease of $39,230.$7,419. The net decrease was primarily attributable to comparatively lower sales for the secondthird quarter of 2018 in comparison to the fourth quarter of 2017, as well as strong cash collections during the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2018.
Inventories decreasedincreased to $69,662$78,666 on JuneSeptember 30, 2018, from $75,046 on December 31, 2017, a decreasean increase of $5,384.$3,620.

The net decrease was primarily attributable to comparatively lower sales for the secondthird quarter of 2018 in comparison to the fourth quarter of 2017 with an associated reduction of expenditures during each respective quarterly period. In addition, the six months ended June 30, 2018.decrease in payables for the third quarter of 2018 in comparison to the fourth quarter of 2017 was due to the launch of the wireless charging pad product last year.

The net increase in the working capital position was primarily attributable to reductions in accounts payable and the shift of debt from current liabilities to non-current liabilities.
Based on the current level of operations, we believe that cash to be generated from operations, cash on hand, and available borrowings under our existing credit arrangementsarrangement will be adequate to fund expected capital expenditures and working capital needs for the next 12 months.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
25

We are exposed to certain market risks in the ordinary course of our business. These risks result primarily from changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. In addition, our international operations are subject to risks related to differing economic conditions, changes in political climate, differing tax structures, and other regulations and restrictions.
To date we have not utilized derivative financial instruments or derivative commodity instruments. We do not expect to employ these or other strategies to hedge market risk in the foreseeable future.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management has established and maintains disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that it files or submits pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
At the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures in accordance with the Exchange Act requirements. Based upon that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that as of the end of the period of this report, our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective due to the material weakness described below.
• The Company’s control environment was ineffective because we failed to establish appropriate authorities and responsibilities in alignment with the objectives of internal control over financial reporting to certain employees; and
• The Company’s risk assessment process was ineffective because we failed to consider changes in the business operations and their impact on financial reporting and internal controls.

24

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
To remediate this material weakness which resulted in an immaterial misstatement to net sales, accounts receivable, cost of goods sold,sales, and inventory as of and for the year ended December 31, 2017 (which misstatement was corrected prior to issuance of the 2017 consolidated financial statements in the Annual Report on2017 Form 10-K), management has continued to implement the following changes to its internal controls as of JuneSeptember 30, 2018:
• TestUpdate processes and evaluatetest the improved control environment related to the appropriateness of authorities and responsibilities of internal control over financial reporting;reporting, and
• TestUpdate processes and evaluate the cross functional risk assessment process to identify and assess changes in the business that could significantly impact internal control over financial reporting;
• Test and evaluatetest improved control activities over the customer returns process;
• Test and evaluate improved control activities over the management of accounts receivable transactions due to the growth of the Company; and
• Continue evaluations whether control activities can be automated to replace manual processes.process.
As of JuneSeptember 30, 2018, the Company has implementedmodified several new cross functional processes and controls to address the material weakness. In addition, othersother processes and controls are currently being implemented as part of the ongoing remediation.
Inherent Limitations on the Effectiveness of Internal Controls
Internal control over financial reporting has inherent limitations. Internal control over financial reporting is a process that involves human diligence and compliance and is subject to lapses in judgment and breakdowns resulting from human failures. Internal control over financial reporting also can be circumvented by collusion or improper management override. Because of such limitations, there is a risk that material misstatements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
Certain of the legal proceedings in which we are involved are discussed in Note 9,10, “Commitments and Contingencies,” to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and are hereby incorporated by reference.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
In addition to the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors, in our Annual Report on2017 Form 10-K, for the year ended December 31, 2017 (the “2017 Form 10-K”), which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. These risk factors should be read carefully in connection with evaluating our business and in connection with the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Any of the risks described in the 2017 Form 10-K could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or future results and the actual outcome of matters as to which forward-looking statements are made. These are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, and/or operating results.
There were no material changes during the period covered in this report to the risk factors previously disclosed in our 2017 Form 10-K except as follows:
US. tariffs and international trade disputes could increase the cost of our products or make our products more expensive for customers.
On July 6, 2018, the U.S. Government imposed a 25% tariff on a variety of imports from China and on September 17, 2018, additional products from China were imposed a 10% tariff, which rate will be increase to 25% at the beginning of 2019. In response, China imposed a 5% to 10% tariff on certain U.S. goods. Such international trade disputes could result in additional or increased tariffs and other protectionist measures that could adversely affect our business. Tariffs generally increase the cost of our products and the components and raw materials that go into making them. These increased costs could adversely impact the gross margin that we earn on sales of our products. Tariffs could also make our products more expensive for customers, which could make our products less competitive and reduce consumer demand. Countries may also adopt other protectionist measures that could limit our ability to offer our products and services.
We are uncertain of the potential future magnitude that these and other potential trade disputes and policies may have on our financial statements. The tariffs described above may have a significant impact and may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, and/or operating results.
