NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation – The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of ZAGG Incorporated (collectively, the “Company” or “ZAGG”) have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).  Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the following disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.  The Company suggests that these condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the  consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

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 and results of operations of the Company for the periods presented.

Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2010, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2010.

Nature of Operations The Company designs, manufactures and distributes protective coverings, audio accessories and power solutions for consumer electronic and hand-held devices under the brand names invisibleSHIELD™ and ZAGGaudio™.

Estimates The discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations are based on the Company’s financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S. GAAP). The preparation of these financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, the Company evaluates its estimates based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.  Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.  Significant estimates include the allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory valuation allowances, sales returns and warranty liability and the useful life of property and equipment.

Principles of Consolidation  The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of ZAGG Incorporated, and its wholly owned subsidiary ZAGG Europe Ltd.  All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Revenue recognition The Company records revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists or product delivery has occurred, the sales price to the customer is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured.  The Company’s revenue is derived from sales of its products through its indirect channel including retailers and distributors and through its direct channel including ZAGG.com and its corporate owned mall kiosks, and from the fees derived from the sale of exclusive independent distributor licenses related to the kiosk program.  For sales of product, the Company’s standard shipping terms are FOB shipping point and the Company records revenue when the product is shipped, net of estimated returns and discounts.  For some customers, the contractual shipping terms are FOB destination, for these shipments, the Company records revenue when the product is delivered, net of estimated returns and discounts.  For license fees, the Company recognizes revenue on a straight-line basis over the life of the license term.

Any incentives received from vendors are recognized as a reduction of the cost of products. Promotional products given to customers or potential customers are recognized as a cost of sales. Cash incentives provided to its customers are recognized as a reduction of the related sale price, and, therefore, are a reduction in sales.

Reserve for Sales Returns and Warranty Liability The Company’s return policy generally allows its end users and retailers to return purchased products for refund or in exchange for new products within 45 days of end user purchase.  The Company estimates a reserve for sales returns and records that reserve amount as a reduction of sales and as a sales return reserve liability.  The sales return liability was $517,392 at March 31, 2010 and $550,201 at December 31, 2009.

The Company generally provides the ultimate consumer a warranty with each product and accrues warranty expense at the time of the sale based on the Company’s prior claims history.  Actual warranty costs incurred are charged against the accrual when paid.  During the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, warranty expense and the reserve for warranty liability, respectively, was not material.

Shipping and Handling Costs  Amounts invoiced to customers for shipping and handling are included in sales and were $267,416 and $343,707 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.  Actual shipping and handling costs to ship products to customers are included in cost of sales and were $1,015,861 and $1,239,637 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Stock-based compensation  As required by generally accepted accounting principles, the Company recognizes the cost resulting from all stock-based payment transactions including shares issued under its stock option plans in the financial statements based upon the fair value of such equity instruments granted.  For the three months ended March 31, 2010, the Company recognized stock-based compensation expense of $242,070, related to the issuance of common stock and options issued under its stock incentive plan.
 
Advertising – Advertising is expensed as incurred.  Advertising expenses were $1,061,050 and $1,454,871 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Foreign Currency Transactions  The condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. Dollars (“USD”).  The Company’s primary operations are at the parent level, which uses the USD as its functional currency.

Reclassifications  Certain amounts in the financial statements of the prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation for comparative purposes.

Net Income Per Common Share  Basic net income per share is computed by dividing net income by weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period.  Diluted net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock, common stock equivalents and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during each period.

The following is a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used to calculate Basic and Diluted EPS:
 
   
 
Net Income
   
Weighted Average Shares
   
Per Share Amount
 
Three months ended March 31, 2010:
                 
Basic EPS
  $ 791,076       21,719,274     $ 0.04  
Effect of common stock equivalents
          1,651,336          
Diluted EPS
  $ 791,076       23,370,610     $ 0.03  
Three months ended March 31, 2009:
                       
Basic EPS
  $ 1,028,240       19,185,642     $ 0.05  
Effect of common stock equivalents
          683,798          
Diluted EPS
  $ 1,028,240       19,869,440     $ 0.05  

The calculation above for the three months ended March 31, 2010 excludes the exercise of 350,000 outstanding warrants and 1,046,500 outstanding stock options as the exercise of these warrants and stock options would have an anti-dilutive effect on earnings per share. The calculation above for the three months ended March 31, 2009 excludes the exercise of 853,000 outstanding stock options as the exercise of these stock options would have an antidilutive effect on earnings per share.

NOTE 2 – RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements In January 2010, the FASB issued guidance requires an entity to disclose the following:

·  
Separately disclose the amounts of significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and describe reasons for the transfers.

·  
Present separately information about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements, on a gross basis, rather than on one net number, in the reconciliation for fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3).

·  
Provide fair value measurement disclosures for ea ch class of assets and liabilities.

·  
Provide disclosures about the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements for fair value measurements that fall in either Level 2 or level 3.

This guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements.  Those disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010.  The Company is currently evaluating this guidance and does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material effect on the Company.

NOTE 3 – ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

Accounts receivable at March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 was as follows:

On May 13, 2009, the Company entered into an accounts receivable financing agreement with Faunus Group International, Inc. (“FGI”).  The Company may offer to sell its accounts receivable to FGI each month during the term of the Agreement, up to a maximum amount outstanding at any time of $4,000,000.  The Company can sell accounts receivable to FGI on either a credit approved or full recourse basis.  Credit approved invoices are sold to FGI with no recourse, FGI accepts all credit default risk on invoices sold under the credit approved terms.  As of March 31, 2010, the Company had only sold credit approved invoices.  The Company accounted for the sale of the credit approved invoices as a reduction to accounts receivable.  Under the terms of the agreement, the Company is charged a monthly collateral management fee of 0.87% of the average monthly outstanding balance and interest at 7% per annum.

NOTE 6 – INTANGIBLE ASSETS

At March 31, 2010, intangible assets consist of legal fees paid in connection with the Company’s patent application of $11,039 and amounts paid to secure the Company’s Internet addresses.  The costs relating to the definite-lived intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives using straight-line amortization.  The useful life for Internet addresses is 10 years.  As of March 31, 2010, the patent had not been granted.  Accordingly, the Company has not begun to amortize the patent costs and will begin amortizing the patent over the legal life of the patent, when the patent is granted.

The Company has contractual rights customary in the industry to use its Internet addresses.  However, the Company does not have and cannot acquire any property rights to the internet addresses.  The Company does not expect to lose its rights to use the Internet addresses; however, there can be no assurance in this regard and such loss could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

The Company’s definite-lived intangible assets are summarized in the table below:

On September 28, 2009 the Company entered into a bridge loan agreement with HzO, (“HzO”) for $1,151,000.  HzO recently acquired the rights to the Golden Shellback technology developed by Northeast Maritime Institute, Inc. The technology is a molecular, vacuum deposited coating that is nonflammable, has low toxicity and has the ability to weatherproof electronic devices and other surfaces.  The technology was renamed as the HzO Technology.  The Company was granted the exclusive worldwide marketing rights for the HzO technology due to its efforts in assisting HzO in securing the HzO technology.

Under the terms of the bridge loan agreement, the Company has the option, but not the obligation, to convert the bridge loan into shares of Series A Preferred stock of HzO at a conversion price of $0.475 per share.  The Company received a warrant of 300,000 shares of HzO Series A Preferred stock in lieu of interest payments for the loan.  These warrants have not been assigned a value in the accompanying financial statements.  The Company is a party to a guarantee agreement for an additional $2,000,000 payment to HzO, originally scheduled for payment on February 25, 2010 that has been indefinitely postponed, in the event that HzO, with its lead investor vSpring Capital, LLC, is unable to secure the necessary capitalization to abide by contractual terms.

ITEM 2.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
Certain statements, other than purely historical information, including estimates, projections, statements relating to our business plans, objectives, and expected operating results, and the assumptions upon which those statements are based, are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.   These forward-looking statements generally are identified by the words “believes,” “project,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “intends,” “strategy,” “plan,” “may,” “will,” “would,” “will be,” “will continue,” “will likely result,” and similar expressions.  We intend such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe-harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and are including this statement for purposes of complying with those safe-harbor provisions.  Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and assumptions that are subject to risks and uncertainties which may cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements. Our ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain.  Factors which could have a material adverse affect on our operations and future prospects include, but are not limited to: changes in economic conditions, legislative/regulatory changes, availability of capital, interest rates, competition, and generally accepted accounting principles. These risks and uncertainties should also be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements.  We undertake no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.  Further information concerning our business, including additional factors that could materially affect our financial results, is included herein and in our other filings with the SEC.
 
Our Business

Headquartered in Salt Lake City, Utah, ZAGG Incorporated designs, manufactures and distributes protective coverings, audio accessories and power solutions for consumer electronic and hand-held devices under the brand names invisibleSHIELD™ and ZAGGaudio™.  ZAGG has also introduced beta testing of AppSpace.com, an online destination for the fast-growing mobile app market, combined with the networking power of social media.

Our flagship product, invisibleSHIELD, is made from a protective, film covering that was developed originally to protect the leading edges of rotary blades of military helicopters. We determined that this same film product could be configured to fit onto the surface of electronic devices and marketed to consumers for use in protecting such devices from everyday wear and tear; including scratches, scrapes, debris and other surface blemishes. The film also permits touch sensitivity, meaning it can be used on devices that have a touch-screen interface. The invisibleSHIELD film material is highly reliable and durable since it was originally developed for use in a high friction, high velocity context within the aerospace industry. The film provides long lasting protection for the surface of electronic devices subject to normal wear and tear. The film is a form of polyurethane substance, akin to a very thin, pliable, flexible and durable clear plastic that adheres to the surface and shape of the object it is applied to.

The invisibleSHIELD is designed specifically for iPods®, laptops, cell phones, digital cameras, PDAs, watch faces, GPS systems, gaming devices, and other items.  The product is “cut” to fit specific devices and packaged together with a moisture activating solution which makes the invisibleSHIELD adhere to the surface of the device, literally “like a second skin,” and virtually invisible to the eye.  The patent-pending invisibleSHIELD is the first scratch protection solution of its kind on the market.  The invisibleSHIELD is not ornamental, but rather provides a long lasting barrier to preserve the brand new look of the surface of an electronic device.  Currently, ZAGG offers over 4,000 precision pre-cut designs with a lifetime replacement warranty through online channels, big-box retailers, electronics specialty stores, resellers, college bookstores, Mac stores, and mall kiosks.  We plan to increase our product lines to offer new electronic accessories to our tech-savvy customer base, as well as an expanded array of invisibleSHIELD products for other industries.

The ZAGGaudio line of electronics accessories and products was released in late 2008, and focuses on innovation and superior value.  The flagship product within ZAGGaudio is the award winning, Z.buds™.  Other headphone, speaker and audio products have been released and we will release additional products in the ZAGGaudio line in the coming months and years.

We maintain our corporate offices and operational facility at 3855 South 500 West, Suites B, C, J, K, L and R, Salt Lake City, Utah, 84115. The telephone number of the Company is 801-263-0699.  Our website address is www.ZAGG.com.

Estimates

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S. GAAP). The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Significant estimates include the allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory valuation allowances, sales returns and warranty liability and the useful life of property and equipment.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements – In January 2010, the FASB issued guidance requires an entity to disclose the following:

·  
Separately disclose the amounts of significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and describe reasons for the transfers.

·  
Present separately information about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements, on a gross basis, rather than on one net number, in the reconciliation for fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3).

·  
Provide fair value measurement disclosures for each class of assets and liabilities.

·  
Provide disclosures about the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements for fair value measurements that fall in either Level 2 or level 3.

This guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements.  Those disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010.  We are currently evaluating this guidance and do not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material effect on our financials.

Revenue recognition

We record revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists or product delivery has occurred, the sales price to the customer is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured.  Our revenue is derived from sales of our products through our indirect channel including retailers and distributors and through our direct channel including ZAGG.com and our corporate owned mall kiosk, and from the fees derived from the sale of exclusive independent distributor licenses related to the kiosk program.  For sales of product, our standard shipping terms are FOB shipping point and we record revenue when the product is shipped, net of estimated returns and discounts.  For some customers, the contractual shipping terms are FOB destination, for these shipments, we record revenue when the products is delivered, net of estimated returns and discounts.  For license fees, we recognize revenue on a straight-line basis over the life of the license term.

Any incentives received from vendors are recognized as a reduction of the cost of products. Promotional products given to customers or potential customers are recognized as a cost of sales. Cash incentives provided to our customers are recognized as a reduction of the related sale price, and, therefore, are a reduction in sales.

 
14

 
Reserve for Sales Returns and Warranty Liability

Our return policy generally allows our end users and retailers to return purchased products for refund or in exchange for new products within 45 days of end user purchase. We estimate a reserve for sales returns and record that reserve amount as a reduction of sales and as a sales return reserve liability.

We generally provide the ultimate consumer a warranty with each product and accrue warranty expense at the time of the sale based on our prior claims history.  Actual warranty costs incurred are charged against the accrual when paid.

Results of Operations

THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2010 AND 2009

Net sales

Net sales for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 were $8,775,559 as compared to net sales of $8,090,951 for the quarter ended March 31, 2009, an increase of $684,608 or 8%.

For the quarter ended March 31, 2010, our sales mix breakdown was 62% through wholesale channels, 22% through our website to retail customers, 13% through our mall cart and kiosk programs and 3% from shipping and handling charges.  Sales of our invisibleSHIELD product continue to represent the majority of our sales.  We are continuing to see increased demand for our invisibleSHIELD product, particularly from our wholesale distribution channel partners including Best Buy and Radio Shack.

Cost of sales

Cost of sales includes raw materials, packing materials, shipping and fulfillment costs. For the quarter ended March 31, 2010, cost of sales amounted to $3,831,857 or approximately 44% of net sales as compared to cost of sales of $2,895,143 or approximately 36% of net sales for quarter ended March 31, 2009.  The increase in cost of sales as a percentage of net revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2009 is attributable to the overall sales mix shift to wholesale customers which have a lower average selling price than our internet sales and a decrease in overall internet sales for the quarter ended March 31 2009.
 
Gross profit

Gross profit for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 was $4,943,702 or approximately 56% of net sales as compared to $5,195,808 or approximately 64% of net sales for the quarter ended March 31, 2009.  The decrease in gross profit percentage was due to the sales mix shift from higher margin internet sales to wholesale customers which have a lower average selling price and a decrease in internet sales for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2009.  There are no assurances that we will continue to recognize similar gross profit margins in the future.

Operating expenses

Total operating expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 were $3,611,910, an increase of $19,994 from total operating expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 of $3,591,916. The increases are primarily attributable to the following:

For the quarter ended March 31, 2010, salaries and related taxes increased by $532,227 to $1,369,829 from $837,602 for the quarter ended March 31, 2009.  The increase is due to the increase in our staff as we continue to build the people infrastructure to meet the demand for our product and continue to develop new products and offerings, and non-cash compensation expense related to our stock based compensation plan of $242,070.

●   
 
For the quarter ended March 31, 2010, marketing, advertising and promotion expenses were $1,061,050, a decrease of $393,821 as compared to $1,454,871 for the quarter ended March 31, 2009.  We continue to invest heavily in the development of the invisibleSHIELD brand through internet key word advertising and through traditional print media, television and radio advertising and through the use of coupons.  We expect our marketing and advertising expenses to continue to be a significant expenditure as our revenues increase and expect to spend increased funds on advertising and promotion of our products as well as sales training.  During the fiscal year 2010, we intend to continue to expand our marketing efforts related to our products.

For the quarter ended March 31, 2010, other selling, general and administrative expenses, net of salaries and related taxes described above, were $1,181,031 as compared to $1,299,443 for the quarter ended March 31, 2009.  The changes by category are summarized in the table below:

Income from operations

We reported income from operations of $1,331,792 for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 as compared to income from operations of $1,603,892 for the quarter ended March 31, 2009, a decrease of $272,100.  The decrease in income from operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2009 is primarily attributable to our overall decrease in gross profit with the sales mix shift from the direct channel to the indirect channel.

Other (expense) income

For the quarter ended March 31, 2010, total other expense was ($64,819) as compared to other income of $39,606 for the quarter ended March 31, 2009.  The decrease is primarily attributed to interest expense associated with our credit facility and decreased interest income related to short-term loans.

Net income

As a result of these factors, we reported net income of $791,076 or $0.03 per share on a fully diluted basis for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 as compared to net income of $1,028,240 or $0.05 per share on a fully diluted basis for the quarter ended March 31, 2009.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity is the ability of a company to generate funds to support its current and future operations, satisfy its liabilities and otherwise operate on an ongoing basis.

At March 31, 2010, we had a cash balance of $5,133,439.
 
Our working capital position increased by $1,085,641 to working capital of $13,509,428 at March 31, 2010 from working capital of $12,423,787 at December 31, 2009.  This increase in working capital is primarily attributable to the overall increase in current assets of $1,081,506 due to increased inventories of $753,237, increased prepaid expenses and other current assets of $1,001,269, increased cash of $162,683, decreased accounts payable of $445,541, decreased sales return liability of $32,809 and decreased accrued wages of $3,741, partially offset by decreased accounts receivable of $835,683, increased accrued liabilities of $461,103 and increased deferred revenues of $16,852.

Net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2010 was $198,549 as compared to net cash used in operating activities of ($123,349) for the three months ended March 31, 2009.  For the three months ended March 31, 2010, net cash provided by operating activities was attributable primarily to decreased accounts receivable of $835,683, increased accrued liabilities of $461,103, non-cash expense related to stock based compensation of $242,070, depreciation and amortization of $73,210, non-cash expenses related to the issuance of warrants of $30,548 and increased deferred revenues of $16,852 partially offset by increased prepaid expenses and other current assets of $1,001,269, increased inventory of $753,237, decreased accounts payable of $445,541, decreased sales return liability of $32,809 and decreased accrued wages and wage related expenses of $3,741.

Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2010 was ($60,433) attributable to the purchase of property.

Net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2010 was $24,567 attributable to proceeds from the exercise of options and warrants of $24,567.

We reported a net increase in cash for the three months ended March 31, 2010 of $162,683.

For the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, we generated revenues of $8,775,559 and $8,090,951, respectively and reported net income of $791,076 and $1,028,240, respectively.  For the three months ended March 31, 2010, we had cash flow from operating activities of $198,549, negative cash flow from investing activities of ($60,433) and cash flows from financing activities of $24,567.  As of March 31, 2010, we had stockholders’ equity of $14,977,184, retained earnings of $5,529,078, working capital of $13,509,428, accounts payable of $2,335,885, deferred revenue of $279,789, accrued wages and wage related expenses of $160,754, accrued liabilities of $1,713,564 and sales returns liability of $517,392.  Management believes that existing cash, along with cash generated from the collection of accounts receivable and the sale of products will be sufficient to meet the Company’s cash requirements during the next twelve months.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of March 31, 2010, there were no off balance sheet arrangements.

Item 3.              Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are exposed to certain market risks in the ordinary course of our business. These risks result primarily from changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates.  In addition, our international operations are subject to risks related to differing economic conditions, changes in political climate, differing tax structures and other regulations and restrictions.

To date we have not utilized derivative financial instruments or derivative commodity instruments.  We do not expect to employ these or other strategies to hedge market risk in the foreseeable future.  We invest our cash in money market funds, which we believe are subject to minimal credit and market risk.  We believe that the market risks associated with these financial instruments are immaterial.
 
Item 4T.            Controls and Procedures

As of the date of this report, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15b under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  Based on their review of our disclosure controls and procedures, they have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information relating to us that is required to be included in our periodic SEC filings. Further, there were no significant changes in the internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these disclosure controls after the evaluation date and the date of this report. Nor were there any significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in such disclosure controls and procedures requiring corrective actions. As a result, no corrective actions were taken.  We have made no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting in the most recent quarterly reporting period that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Internal Controls

Our management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will necessarily prevent all fraud and material error. An internal control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the internal control. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.              Legal Proceedings

We are not presently party to any legal proceedings.  We are not aware of any pending legal proceeding to which any of our officers, directors, or any beneficial holders of 5% or more of our voting securities are adverse to us or have a material interest adverse to us.

Item 1A:           Risk Factors

In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I. “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 (the “2009 Form 10-K”), which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results.  The following information updates certain of our risk factors and should be read in conjunction with the risk factors disclosed in the 2009 Form 10-K.  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 below or in the 2009 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.

We depend on large purchases from a significant customer, Best Buy, and any loss, cancellation or delay in purchases by this customer could cause a shortfall in revenue, excess inventory and inventory holding or obsolescence charges.

For the three months ended March 31, 2010, Best Buy alone represented 34% of our revenue.  Best Buy does not have minimum purchase requirements and can stop purchasing our products at any time or with very short notice.  In addition, including Best Buy, most of our customer agreements are short term and non-exclusive and provide for purchases on a purchase order basis.  We expect that Best Buy will continue to represent a substantial percentage of our sales.  If Best Buy reduces, delays or cancels orders with us, and we are not able to sell our products to new customers at comparable levels, our revenue could decline significantly and could result in excess inventory and inventory holding or obsolescence charges.  In addition, any difficulty in collecting amounts due from Best Buy would negatively impact our result of operations.

Item 2.              Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

During the three months ended March 31, 2010, we issued the following securities:

▪ 
stock options for 771,500 common shares exercisable at $2.53 per share expiring in 5 years and vesting 33% at 12 months, 33% at 24 months and 33% at 36 months.  The options were valued at $923,980 or $1.20 per option using the Black-Scholes option pricing method with the following assumptions: stock price $2.53, expected life of 2.5 years, volatility of 73% (using historical volatility to provide an implied volatility as the Company’s options do not trade) and a discount rate of 0.03%;

▪ 
warrants for consulting services for 100,000 common shares exercisable at $2.58 per share expiring in 5 years and vesting equally over 1 year.  The warrants were valued at $30,548 using the Black-Scholes method with the following assumptions: stock price $2.58, expected life of .2 years; volatility of 67% (using historical volatility to provide an implied volatility as the Company’s options do not trade) and a discount rate of 0.02%.

▪ 
15,167 shares of common stock in exercise of options to purchase 15,167 shares.  We received proceeds of $16,622 related to the exercise of the options.  We also issued 6,250 shares of common stock in exercise of warrants to purchase 6,250 shares.  We received proceeds of $8,125 related to the exercise of the warrants.

These securities were issued pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended , and /or Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder.
