NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2013
(Unaudited)
Note 1 — Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies
In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Universal Electronics Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries contain all the adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature and certain reclassifications have been made to prior year amounts in order to conform to the current year presentation. Information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements, which are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. As used herein, the terms "Company," "we," "us," and "our" refer to Universal Electronics Inc. and its subsidiaries, unless the context indicates to the contrary.
Our results of operations for the three and six months ended
June 30, 2013
are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the "Risk Factors," "Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk," and the "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data" and notes thereto included in Items 1A, 7, 7A, and 8, respectively, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2012
.
Estimates, Judgments and Assumptions
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires us to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, judgments and assumptions, including those related to revenue recognition, allowances for sales returns and doubtful accounts, warranties, inventory valuation, business combination purchase price allocations, impairment of long-lived assets, intangible assets and goodwill, income taxes and stock-based compensation expense. Actual results may differ from our expectations. Based on our evaluation, our estimates, judgments and assumptions may be adjusted as more information becomes available. Any adjustment may be material.
See Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2012
for a summary of our significant accounting policies.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2011-11, "Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities." The amendments in ASU 2011-11 require an entity to disclose information about offsetting and related arrangements to enable users of its financial statements to understand the effect of those arrangements on its financial position. In January 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-01, "Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities," which limits the scope of ASU 2011-11 to derivatives, repurchase agreements and securities lending transactions. This guidance became effective on January 1, 2013 with retrospective application required. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-02, "Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income," which updates ASU 2011-05, "Comprehensive Income." This standard requires the presentation in a single location, either in a note or parenthetically on the face of the financial statements, of the effect of significant amounts reclassified from each component of accumulated other comprehensive income based on its source and the income statement line items affected by the reclassification. We adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2013. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-11, "Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists." This standard requires an entity to present an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward. To the extent a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward is not available at the reporting date under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction to settle any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position or the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction does not require the entity to use, and the entity does not intend to use, the deferred tax asset for such purpose, the
7
Table of Contents
UNIVERSAL ELECTRONICS INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2013
(Unaudited)
unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a liability and should not be combined with deferred tax assets. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of ASU 2013-11 is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated results of operations or financial position.

We have identified alternative sources of supply for these integrated circuits, components, and finished goods; however, there can be no assurance that we will be able to continue to obtain these inventory purchases on a timely basis. We maintain inventories of our integrated circuits, which may be utilized to mitigate, but not eliminate, delays resulting from supply interruptions. An extended interruption, shortage or termination in the supply of any of the components used in our products, a reduction in their quality or reliability, or a significant increase in the prices of components, would have an adverse effect on our operating results, financial condition and cash flows.

Note 6 — Line of Credit
On October 2, 2012, we entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement ("Amended Credit Agreement") with U.S. Bank National Association ("U.S. Bank") which provides for a
$55.0 million
line of credit ("Credit Line") that may be used for working
12
Table of Contents
UNIVERSAL ELECTRONICS INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2013
(Unaudited)
capital and other general corporate purposes including acquisitions, share repurchases and capital expenditures. The Amended Credit Agreement expires on November 1, 2014. Amounts available for borrowing under the Credit Line are reduced by the balance of any outstanding letters of credit, of which there were
$13 thousand
at
June 30, 2013
.
All obligations under the Credit Line are secured by substantially all of our U.S. personal property and tangible and intangible assets as well as
65%
of our ownership interest in Enson Assets Limited, our wholly-owned subsidiary which controls our manufacturing factories in the People's Republic of China ("PRC").
Under the Amended Credit Agreement, we may elect to pay interest on the Credit Line based on LIBOR plus an applicable margin (varying from
1.25%
to
1.75%
) or base rate (based on the prime rate of U.S. Bank or as otherwise specified in the Amended Credit Agreement) plus an applicable margin (varying from
-0.25%
to
+0.25%
). The applicable margins are calculated quarterly and vary based on our leverage ratio as set forth in the Amended Credit Agreement. There are no commitment fees or unused line fees under the Amended Credit Agreement.
The Amended Credit Agreement includes financial covenants requiring a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio, a maximum leverage ratio and minimum liquidity levels. In addition, the Amended Credit Agreement also contains other customary affirmative and negative covenants and events of default. As of
June 30, 2013
, we were in compliance with the covenants and conditions of the Amended Credit Agreement.
Our total interest expense on borrowings was
$16 thousand
and
$0.1 million
during the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Our total interest expense on borrowings was
$49 thousand
and
$0.2 million
during the
six months ended
June 30, 2013
and
2012
, respectively.
Note 7 — Income Taxes
We utilize our estimated annual effective tax rate to determine our provision for income taxes for interim periods. The income tax provision is computed by taking the estimated annual effective tax rate and multiplying it by the year-to-date pre-tax book income. We recorded income tax expense of
$2.5 million
and
$1.1 million
for the
three months ended June 30, 2013
and
2012
, respectively. Our effective tax rate was
30.0%
and
18.1%
during the
three months ended June 30, 2013
and
2012
, respectively. The increase in our effective tax rate was due to the following: the recording of approximately
$0.4 million
of additional tax reserves in the second quarter of 2013 resulting from a tax audit in Hong Kong for years preceding our acquisition of Enson Assets Limited; a greater percentage of income earned in higher tax rate jurisdictions in 2013 compared to 2012; and the reversal of
$0.3 million
of unrecognized tax benefits in the second quarter of 2012 which were originally recorded in 2007, 2010 and 2011.
We recorded income tax expense of
$2.9 million
and
$1.5 million
for the
six months ended June 30, 2013
and
2012
, respectively. Our effective tax rate was
24.9%
and
17.7%
during the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The increase in our effective tax rate was due to the following: the recording of approximately
$0.4 million
of additional tax reserves in the second quarter of 2013 resulting from a tax audit in Hong Kong for years preceding our acquisition of Enson Assets Limited; a greater percentage of income earned in higher tax rate jurisdictions in 2013 compared to 2012; and the reversal of
$0.5 million
of unrecognized tax benefits in 2012 which were originally recorded in 2007 through 2011.
On
June 30, 2013
, we had gross unrecognized tax benefits of approximately
$5.5 million
, including interest and penalties, of which approximately
$5.0 million
would affect the annual effective tax rate if these tax benefits are realized. Further, we are unaware of any positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly increase within the next twelve months. However, based on federal, state and foreign statute expirations in various jurisdictions, we anticipate a decrease in unrecognized tax benefits of approximately
$0.1 million
within the next twelve months.
We have elected to classify interest and penalties as a component of tax expense. Accrued interest and penalties of
$0.5 million
and
$0.1 million
on
June 30, 2013
and
December 31, 2012
, respectively, are included in our unrecognized tax benefits.
We file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, and in various state and foreign jurisdictions. On
June 30, 2013
, the open statutes of limitations in our significant tax jurisdictions were as follows: federal
2009
through
2012
, state
2008
through
2012
, and non-U.S.
2006
through
2012
. On
June 30, 2013
, of our gross unrecognized tax benefits of
$5.5 million
, which included
$0.5 million
of interest and penalties,
$3.6 million
are classified as current and
$1.9 million
are classified as long term.

Effective January 1, 2008, the Chinese Labor Contract Law was enacted in the PRC. This law mandated that PRC employers remit the applicable social insurance payments to their local government. Social insurance is comprised of various components such as pension, medical insurance, job injury insurance, unemployment insurance, and a housing assistance fund, and is administered in a manner similar to social security in the United States. This amount represents our estimate of the amounts due to the PRC government for social insurance on

Litigation
On March 2, 2012, we filed a lawsuit against Universal Remote Control, Inc. ("URC") in the United States District Court, Central District of California (Universal Electronics Inc. v. Universal Remote Control, Inc., SACV12-0039 AG (JPRx)) alleging that URC is infringing, directly and indirectly,
four
of our patents related to remote control technology. We have alleged that this complaint relates to multiple URC remote control products, including the URC model numbers UR5U-9000L, WR7 and other remote controls with different model names or numbers, but with substantially the same designs, features, and functionalities. We are seeking monetary relief for the infringement, including enhanced damages due to the willfulness of URC's actions, injunctive relief to enjoin URC from further infringing, including contributory infringement and/or inducing infringement, and attorney's fees. URC has denied infringing our patents. On January 29, 2013, the Court held its "Markman" hearing and on February 1, 2013, the Court issued its ruling that
four
of the
24
claims we have asserted against URC were invalid, effectively removing
one
of the
four
patents alleged by us to be infringed by URC from this litigation. We are presently determining whether or not to appeal this decision, but in our estimation this ruling does not materially affect our position in this litigation. In all other respects, this litigation is continuing as scheduled with discovery continuing.
On June 28, 2013, we filed a second lawsuit against URC, also in the United States District Court, Central District of California (Universal Electronics Inc. v. Universal Remote Control, Inc., SACV13-00987 JAK (SHx)). In this second lawsuit, we are alleging that URC is infringing, directly and indirectly,
nine
additional patents that we own related to remote control technology. As in the first lawsuit, in this second lawsuit we have alleged that this complaint relates to multiple URC remote control products. We are seeking monetary relief for infringement, including enhanced damages due to the willfulness of URC's actions, injunctive relief to enjoin URC from further infringing, including contributory infringement and/or inducing infringement, and attorney's fees. URC has not yet responded to this complaint.
There are no other material pending legal proceedings to which we or any of our subsidiaries is a party or of which our respective property is the subject. However, as is typical in our industry and to the nature and kind of business in which we are engaged, from time to time, various claims, charges and litigation are asserted or commenced by third parties against us or by us against third parties arising from or related to product liability, infringement of patent or other intellectual property rights, breach of warranty, contractual relations, or employee relations. The amounts claimed may be substantial but may not bear any reasonable relationship to the merits of the claims or the extent of any real risk of court awards assessed against us or in our favor. However, no assurances can be made as to the outcome of any of these matters, nor can we estimate the range of potential losses to us. In our opinion, final judgments, if any, which might be rendered against us in potential or pending litigation would not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. Moreover, we believe that our products do not infringe any third parties' patents or other intellectual property rights.
We maintain directors' and officers' liability insurance which insures our individual directors and officers against certain claims, as well as attorney's fees and related expenses incurred in connection with the defense of such claims.
Defined Benefit Plan
Our subsidiary in India maintains a defined benefit pension plan ("India Plan") for local employees, which is consistent with local statutes and practices. The pension plan was adequately funded on
June 30, 2013
and
December 31, 2012
based on its latest actuarial
15

report. The India Plan has an independent external manager that advises us of the appropriate funding contribution requirements to which we comply. At
June 30, 2013
, approximately
38 percent
of our India subsidiary employees had qualified for eligibility. An individual must be employed by our India subsidiary for a minimum of
5 years
before becoming eligible. Upon the termination, resignation or retirement of an eligible employee, we are liable to pay the employee an amount equal to
15 days
salary for each full year of service completed. The total amount of liability outstanding at
June 30, 2013
and
December 31, 2012
for the India Plan was not material. During the
six months ended
June 30, 2013
and
2012
, the net periodic benefit costs were also not material.

, we issued
15,000
and
22,500
shares from treasury, respectively, to outside directors for services performed (see Note 13).
From time to time, our Board of Directors authorizes management to repurchase shares of our issued and outstanding common stock. Repurchases may be made to manage dilution created by shares issued under our stock incentive plans or whenever we deem a repurchase is a good use of our cash and the price to be paid is at or below a threshold approved by our Board. As of
June 30, 2013

Note 12 — Business Segment and Foreign Operations
Reportable Segment
An operating segment, in part, is a component of an enterprise whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance. Operating segments may be aggregated only to a limited extent. Our chief operating decision maker, the Chief Executive Officer, reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis, accompanied by disaggregated information about revenues for purposes of making operating decisions and assessing financial performance. Accordingly, we only have a single operating and reportable segment.

Note 16 — Derivatives
We are exposed to market risks from foreign currency exchange rates, which may adversely affect our operating results and financial position. Our foreign currency exposures are primarily concentrated in the Argentinian Peso, Brazilian Real, British Pound, Chinese Yuan Renminbi, Euro, Hong Kong dollar, Indian Rupee, and Singapore dollar. We periodically enter into foreign currency exchange contracts with terms normally lasting less than
nine
months to protect against the adverse effects that exchange-rate fluctuations may have on our foreign currency-denominated receivables, payables, cash flows and reported income. Derivative financial instruments are used to manage risk and are not used for trading or other speculative purposes. We do not use leveraged derivative financial instruments and these derivatives have not qualified for hedge accounting.
The gains and losses on the derivatives are recorded in other income (expense), net. Derivatives are recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. The estimated fair values of our derivative financial instruments represent the amount required to enter into offsetting contracts with similar remaining maturities based on quoted market prices. We have determined that the fair value of our derivatives are derived from level 2 inputs in the fair value hierarchy. The following table sets forth the fair value of derivatives:

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and the related notes that appear elsewhere in this document.
Overview
We develop and manufacture a broad line of pre-programmed universal remote control products, audio-video ("AV") accessories, and software that are marketed to enhance home entertainment systems. Our customers operate in the consumer electronics market and include subscription broadcasters, OEMs, international retailers, private labels, and companies in the computing industry. We also sell integrated circuits, on which our software and infrared ("IR") code database, or library, is embedded, to OEMs that manufacture wireless control devices, cable converters or satellite receivers for resale in their products.
Since our beginning in 1986, we have compiled an extensive IR code library that covers over
743,800
individual device functions and approximately
5,900
individual consumer electronic equipment brand names. Our library is regularly updated with IR codes used in newly introduced AV devices. These IR codes are captured directly from the remote control devices or the manufacturer's written specifications to ensure the accuracy and integrity of the database. We believe that our universal remote control library contains device codes that are capable of controlling virtually all IR controlled set-top boxes, televisions, audio components, DVD players, and CD players, as well as most other infrared remote controlled home entertainment devices and home automation control modules worldwide.
We operate as one business segment. We have twenty-four subsidiaries located in Argentina, Cayman Islands, France, Germany, Hong Kong (6), India, Italy, the Netherlands, Singapore, Spain, Brazil, British Virgin Islands (3), People's Republic of China (4) and the United Kingdom.
To recap our results for the
six months ended June 30, 2013
:
•
Our net sales
increased
13.8%
to
250.8 million
for the
six months ended June 30, 2013
from
$220.4 million
for the
six months ended June 30, 2012
.
•
Our gross margin percentage improved from
27.8%
for the
six months ended June 30, 2012
to
28.1%
for the
six months ended June 30, 2013
. This improvement was primarily due to an increase in units produced internally versus units produced by third-party manufacturers.
•
Operating expenses, as a percent of sales, decreased from
23.8%
for the
six months ended June 30, 2012
to
22.5%
for the
six months ended June 30, 2013
.
•
Our operating income
increased
58.0%
to
$13.9 million
for the
six months ended June 30, 2013
from
$8.8 million
for the
six months ended June 30, 2012
, and our operating margin percentage increased to
5.6%
for the
six months ended June 30, 2013
, compared to
4.0%
for the
six months ended June 30, 2012
.
•
Our effective tax rate increased to
24.9%
for the
six months ended June 30, 2013
, compared to
17.7%
for the
six months ended June 30, 2012
.
Our strategic business objectives for 2013 include the following:
•
continue to develop industry-leading technologies and products with attractive gross margins in order to improve profitability;
•
continue to increase our market share in new product categories, such as smart devices and game consoles;
•
further penetrate the growing Asian and Latin American subscription broadcasting markets;
•
acquire new customers in historically strong regions;
•
increase our share with existing customers; and
•
continue to seek acquisitions or strategic partners that complement and strengthen our existing business.
We intend for the following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations to provide information that will assist in understanding our consolidated financial statements, the changes in certain key items in those financial statements from period to period, and the primary factors that accounted for those changes, as well as how certain accounting principles, policies and estimates affect our consolidated financial statements.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent
21
Table of Contents
assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments, including those related to revenue recognition, allowance for sales returns and doubtful accounts, warranties, inventory valuation, business combination purchase price allocations, our review for impairment of long-lived assets, intangible assets and goodwill, income taxes and stock-based compensation expense. Actual results may differ from these judgments and estimates, and they may be adjusted as more information becomes available. Any adjustment may be significant.
An accounting policy is deemed to be critical if it requires an accounting estimate to be made based on assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time the estimate is made, if different estimates reasonably may have been used, or if changes in the estimate that are reasonably likely to occur may materially impact the financial statements. We do not believe that there have been any significant changes during the three and
six months ended June 30, 2013
to the items that we disclosed as our critical accounting policies and estimates in Item 7, "Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended December 31, 2012.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
See Note 1 contained in the "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" for a discussion of recent accounting pronouncements.

. Net sales in our Business lines for the
three months ended June 30, 2013
increased
by
20%
to
$124.2 million
driven primarily by strong demand in North American subscription broadcasting and Latin American subscription broadcasting, particularly in Brazil, as well as growth in net sales to consumer electronics companies in Asia.

retail and private label) were
9%
of net sales for the
three months ended June 30, 2013
compared to
11%
for the
three months ended June 30, 2012
. Net sales in our Consumer lines for the
three months ended June 30, 2013
decreased
by
7%
to
$11.9 million
primarily due to a 30% decrease in North American retail sales and a 3% decrease in international retail sales that was driven largely by soft consumer demand and cautious retailers in the European market.
Gross profit.
Gross profit for the
three months ended June 30, 2013
was
$37.8 million
compared to
$33.0 million
for the
three months ended June 30, 2012
. Gross profit as a percent of sales decreased to
27.8%
for the
three months ended June 30, 2013
from
28.3%
for the
three months ended June 30, 2012
, primarily due to sales mix, with sales to larger customers representing a higher percentage of the total sales.
Research and development ("R&D") expenses.
R&D expenses
increased
18%
to
$4.0 million
for the
three months ended June 30, 2013
from
$3.4 million
for the
three months ended June 30, 2012
. This increase was in line with our strategic initiatives and was primarily driven by additional R&D efforts dedicated to developing new product offerings for new and existing product categories.
Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses.
SG&A expenses
increased
3%
to
$23.8 million
for the
three months ended June 30, 2013
from
$23.1 million
for the
three months ended June 30, 2012
. This increase was driven primarily by increased payroll costs associated with hiring key personnel in global engineering and in our Asian operations, increased incentive compensation costs, and increased freight and delivery costs associated with higher sales volumes in the current period. These increases were partially offset by a reduction in litigation costs associated with protecting our intellectual property.
Interest income (expense), net.
Net interest income was
$4 thousand
for the
three months ended June 30, 2013
compared to net interest expense of
$51 thousand
for the
three months ended June 30, 2012
. This change was driven by lower interest expense in the current period due to decreased credit needs.
Other income (expense), net.
Net other expense was
$1.6 million
for the
three months ended June 30, 2013
compared to net other expense of
$0.1 million
for the
three months ended June 30, 2012
. This increase was driven primarily by increased foreign currency losses associated with fluctuations in foreign currency rates related to the Chinese Yuan Renminbi, Brazilian Real, and Argentinian Peso.
Income tax expense.
Income tax expense was
$2.5 million
for the
three months ended June 30, 2013
compared to
$1.1 million
for the
three months ended June 30, 2012
. Our effective tax rate was
30.0%
for the
three months ended June 30, 2013
compared to
18.1%
for the
three months ended June 30, 2012
. The increase in our effective tax rate was due to the following: the recording of approximately $0.4 million of additional tax reserves in the second quarter of 2013 resulting from a tax audit in Hong Kong for years preceding our acquisition of Enson Assets Limited; a greater percentage of income earned in higher tax rate jurisdictions in 2013 compared to 2012; and the reversal of $0.3 million of unrecognized tax benefits in the second quarter of 2012 which were originally recorded in 2007, 2010 and 2011.

We have increased inventory levels during the six months ended June 30, 2013 to support a higher level of expected sales in the current year. In addition, we purchased more resin than usual as a result of attractive pricing and we increased the inventory levels of certain components, primarily chips, as a result of increased lead times. With regard to accounts receivable, days sales outstanding decreased from approximately 66 days for the three months ended June 30, 2012 to approximately 59 days for the three months ended June 30, 2013. Accounts payable for the six months ended June 20, 2013 increased by approximately $2.6 million compared to a decrease of $13.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012.

for the six months ended June 30, 2012. This increase is due primarily to equipment purchases at our China factories which has enabled us to produce more units internally versus utilizing third-party manufacturers.
Net cash provided by financing activities
was
$1.9 million
during the
six months ended June 30, 2013
compared to net cash used for financing activities of
$2.5 million
during the
six months ended June 30, 2012
. The increase in cash provided by financing activities was driven by higher proceeds from stock options exercises in the current year period and $3.4 million of net debt repayments in the prior year period, partially offset by an increased level of stock repurchases in the current year period.
During the
six months ended June 30, 2013
, we repurchased
117,666
shares of our common stock at a cost of
$2.4 million
compared to our repurchase of
27,980
shares at a cost of
$0.5 million
during the
six months ended June 30, 2012
. We hold these shares as treasury stock and they are available for reissue. Presently, except for using a minimal number of these treasury shares to compensate our outside board members, we have no plans to distribute these shares, although we may change these plans if necessary to fulfill our on-going business objectives.
From time to time, our Board of Directors authorizes management to repurchase shares of our issued and outstanding common stock. Repurchases may be made to manage dilution created by shares issued under our stock incentive plans or whenever we deem a repurchase is a good use of our cash and the price to be paid is at or below a threshold approved by our Board. As of
June 30, 2013
, we had
968,905
shares available for repurchase under the Board's authorizations.

We issue cancelable purchase orders for our inventory purchases, which we exclude from the above contractual obligations table. We have determined that $76.7 million previously reported as inventory purchase obligations, all of which related to one contractual arrangement, are not contractually binding and thus have removed them from this table.
Liquidity
Historically, we have utilized cash provided from operations as our primary source of liquidity, as internally generated cash flows have been sufficient to support our business operations, capital expenditures and discretionary share repurchases. Our working capital needs have typically been greatest during the third and fourth quarters when accounts receivable and inventories increase in connection with the fourth quarter holiday selling season. We believe our current cash balances and anticipated cash flow to be generated from operations will be sufficient to cover cash outlays expected during
2013
; however, because our cash is located in various jurisdictions throughout the world, we may at times need to borrow from our revolving line of credit until we are able to transfer cash among our various entities. Our liquidity is subject to various risks including the risks discussed under "Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk."

Our cash balances are held in numerous locations throughout the world. The majority of our cash is held outside of the United States and may be repatriated to the United States but, under current law, would be subject to United States federal income taxes, less applicable foreign tax credits. Repatriation of some foreign balances is restricted by local laws. We have not provided for the United States federal tax liability on these amounts for financial statement purposes as this cash is considered indefinitely reinvested outside of the United States. Our intent is to meet our domestic liquidity needs through ongoing cash flows, external borrowings, or both. We utilize a variety of tax planning strategies in an effort to ensure that our worldwide cash is available in the locations in which it is needed.
On
June 30, 2013
, we had
$14.2 million
,
$25.8 million
,
$6.1 million
and
$3.7 million
of cash and cash equivalents in the United States, Asia, Europe, and South America, respectively. On December 31, 2012,
we had approximately $2.7 million, $27.3 million, $9.4 million, and $5.2 million of cash and cash equivalents in the United States, Asia, Europe and South America, respectively. We attempt to mitigate our exposure to liquidity, credit and other relevant risks by placing our cash and cash equivalents with financial institutions we believe are high quality.
On October 2, 2012, we entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement ("Amended Credit Agreement") with U.S. Bank National Association ("U.S. Bank") which provides for a $55.0 million line of credit ("Credit Line") that may be used for working capital and other general corporate purposes including acquisitions, share repurchases and capital expenditures. The Amended Credit Agreement expires on November 1, 2014. Amounts available for borrowing under the Credit Line are reduced by the balance of any outstanding letters of credit, of which there were
$13 thousand
at
June 30, 2013
.
All obligations under the Credit Line are secured by substantially all of our U.S. personal property and tangible and intangible assets as well as 65% of our ownership interest in Enson Assets Limited, our wholly-owned subsidiary which controls our manufacturing factories in the PRC.
Under the Amended Credit Agreement, we may elect to pay interest on the Credit Line based on LIBOR plus an applicable margin (varying from 1.25% to 1.75%) or base rate (based on the prime rate of U.S. Bank or as otherwise specified in the Amended Credit Agreement) plus an applicable margin (varying from -0.25% to +0.25%). The applicable margins are calculated quarterly and vary based on our leverage ratio as set forth in the Amended Credit Agreement. There are no commitment fees or unused line fees under the Amended Credit Agreement.
The Amended Credit Agreement includes financial covenants requiring a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio, a maximum leverage ratio and minimum liquidity levels. In addition, the Amended Credit Agreement also contains other customary affirmative and negative covenants and events of default. As of
June 30, 2013
, we were in compliance with the covenants and conditions of the Amended Credit Agreement.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not participate in any material off balance sheet arrangements.
Factors That May Affect Financial Condition and Future Results
Forward Looking Statements
We caution that the following important factors, among others (including but not limited to factors discussed in "Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," as well as those discussed in our 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K, or in our other reports filed from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission), may affect our actual results and may contribute to or cause our actual consolidated results to differ materially from those expressed in any of our forward-looking statements. The factors included here are not exhaustive. Further, any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which such statement is made, and we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which such statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for management to predict all such factors, nor can we assess the impact of each such factor on the business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement. Therefore, forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as a prediction of actual future results.
While we believe that the forward-looking statements made in this report are based on reasonable assumptions, the actual outcome of such statements is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including the failure of our markets to continue growing and expanding in the manner we anticipated; the failure of our customers to grow and expand as we anticipated; the effects of natural or other events beyond our control, including the effects political unrest, war or terrorist activities may have on us or the economy; the economic environment's effect on us or our customers; the growth of, acceptance of and the demand for our products and technologies in various markets and geographical regions, including cable, satellite, consumer electronics, retail, and digital media and interactive technology; our inability to add profitable complementary products which are accepted by the marketplace; our
26
Table of Contents
inability to attract and retain a quality workforce at adequate levels in all regions of the world, and particularly Asia; our inability to continue to maintain our operating costs at acceptable levels through our cost containment efforts; our inability to continue selling our products or licensing our technologies at higher or profitable margins; our inability to obtain orders or maintain our order volume with new and existing customers; our inability to develop new and innovative technologies and products that are accepted by our customers; the possible dilutive effect our stock incentive programs may have on our earnings per share and stock price; our inability to continue to obtain adequate quantities of component parts or secure adequate factory production capacity on a timely basis; and other factors listed from time to time in our press releases and filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are exposed to various market risks, including interest rate and foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. We have established policies, procedures and internal processes governing our management of these risks and the use of financial instruments to mitigate our risk exposure.
Interest Rate Risk
We are exposed to interest rate risk related to our debt. Although at
June 30, 2013
we had no outstanding borrowings under our Credit Line, from time to time we need to borrow amounts for working capital and other liquidity needs. Under the Amended Credit Agreement that became effective on October 2, 2012, we may elect to pay interest on outstanding borrowings on our Credit Line based on LIBOR or a base rate (based on the prime rate of U.S. Bank) plus an applicable margin as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement. A 100 basis point increase in interest rates would have had an insignificant effect on reported net income for the three and
six months ended
June 30, 2013
.
We cannot make any assurances that we will not need to borrow additional amounts in the future or that funds will be extended to us under comparable terms or at all. If funding is not available to us at a time when we need to borrow, we would have to use our cash reserves, including potentially repatriating cash from foreign jurisdictions, which may have a material adverse effect on our operating results, financial position and cash flows.
Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk
At
June 30, 2013
, we had wholly owned subsidiaries in Argentina, Brazil, Cayman Islands, France, Germany, Hong Kong, India, Italy, the Netherlands, the PRC, Singapore, Spain, and the United Kingdom. We are exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risk inherent in our sales commitments, anticipated sales, anticipated purchases, assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. The most significant foreign currencies to our operations during
2013
are the Euro, British Pound, Chinese Yuan Renminbi, Indian Rupee, Singapore dollar, Argentinian Peso and Brazilian Real. For most currencies, we are a net receiver of the foreign currency and therefore benefit from a weaker U.S. dollar and are adversely affected by a stronger U.S. dollar relative to the foreign currency. Even where we are a net receiver, a weaker U.S. dollar may adversely affect certain expense figures taken alone.
From time to time, we enter into foreign currency exchange agreements to manage the foreign currency exchange rate risks inherent in our forecasted income and cash flows denominated in foreign currencies. The terms of these foreign currency exchange agreements normally last less than nine months. We recognize the gains and losses on these foreign currency contracts in the same period as the remeasurement gains and losses of the related foreign currency-denominated exposures.
It is difficult to estimate the impact of fluctuations on reported income, as it depends on the opening and closing rates, the average net balance sheet positions held in a foreign currency and the amount of income generated in local currency. We routinely forecast what these balance sheet positions and income generated in local currency may be and we take steps to minimize exposure as we deem appropriate. Alternatively, we may choose not to hedge the foreign currency risk associated with our foreign currency exposures, primarily if such exposure acts as a natural foreign currency hedge for other offsetting amounts denominated in the same currency or the currency is difficult or too expensive to hedge. We do not enter into any derivative transactions for speculative purposes.
The sensitivity of earnings to variability in exchange rates is assessed by applying an approximate range of potential rate fluctuations to our assets and obligations, including currency contracts, and projected results of operations denominated in foreign currency with all other variables held constant. Based on our overall foreign currency rate exposure at
June 30, 2013
, we estimate that if the exchange rates for the Euro, British Pound, Chinese Yuan Renminbi, Indian Rupee, Singapore dollar, Argentinian Peso, and the Brazilian Real relative to the U.S. dollar fluctuate 10% from
June 30, 2013
, net income in the third quarter of 2013 would fluctuate by approximately
$4.3 million
.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(d) defines "disclosure controls and procedures" to mean controls and procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms. The definition further states that disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
An evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, our principal executive and principal financial officers have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective, as of the end of the period covered by this report, to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to our management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
