The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States 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 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 (the “2018 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 at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods, with related disclosures of these amounts in the notes to the financial statements. 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 consolidated financial statements included in the 2018 Form 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 Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 842, “Leases” (In thousands, except lease terms and discount rates)
The Company adopted ASC Topic 842
,“Leases”
(“Topic 842”) with a date of initial application of January 1, 2019. As a result of this adoption, the Company has changed its accounting policy for leases as detailed below.
The Company applied Topic 842 on January 1, 2019, using the modified retrospective approach. The adoption of Topic 842 includes the cumulative effect of adopting the new standard being recognized in retained earnings at January 1, 2019, 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. Therefore, the prior period comparative information has not been adjusted and continues to be reported under the previous ASC Topic 840,
“Leases”
(“Topic 840”) standard. The Company also elected the package of available practical expedients allowable under Topic 842 guidelines in its adoption approach.
The adoption of Topic 842 resulted in an increase in long-term lease liabilities of $10,684 which was included in operating lease liabilities; an increase in short-term lease liabilities of $2,362 which was included in current portion of operating lease liabilities; an initial recognition of right of use (
“
ROU”) assets of $8,842 which was included in operating lease right of use assets; an increase of deferred tax assets, net of $1,424; a derecognition of $3,346 related to lease liabilities under Topic 840 which was included in accrued liabilities; a decrease in deferred rent of $819 which was included in accrued liabilities; and a decrease of $39 in retained earnings as a cumulative effect of adoption.
As the Company did not have any finance leases upon adoption of Topic 842 at January 1, 2019, the largest driver of changes for the adoption of Topic 842 was the addition of the Company’s operating leases to the condensed consolidated balance sheet, creating ROU assets and lease liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2019. Under Topic 840, operating leases were not included on the condensed consolidated balance sheets, whereas under Topic 842, ROU assets and lease liabilities are calculated and recorded on the lease commencement date. The standard had a material impact in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, but did not have a significant impact in its condensed consolidated statements of operations. In addition, the adoption of Topic 842 had no impact to cash provided by or used in operating, financing, or investing on the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.
Lease accounting policy
The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at contract inception and then determines if such qualifying lease is classified as an operating lease or a finance lease. As of June 30, 2019, the Company only has operating leases. For operating leases, the Company measures lease liabilities based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. As most of its leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses an incremental borrowing rate based on relevant information available at each leases' commencement date in determining the present value of future payments for each individual lease. ROU assets are measured as the sum of the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability, plus any prepaid lease payments made minus any lease incentives received, and any initial direct costs incurred. The Company’s lease terms may include options to extend or terminate leases that will be recognized when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Lease expense for operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
The Company has lease agreements with lease and non-lease components under the definition of Topic 842. Upon adoption of Topic 842, the Company elected a practical expedient not to separate the lease and non-lease components for its leases for physical space and equipment and accounts for them as a single lease component.
Lease information
The Company has operating leases for offices, retail stores, and warehouse space that expire through 2027. The Company’s leases have remaining lease terms of 7 months to 9 years, some of which include options to extend the leases up to 10 years. The following summarizes the activities in the Company’s ROU assets and lease liabilities for the six months ended June 30, 2019:

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, the rent expense was $818 and $1,546, respectively. Rent expense was recognized on a basis which approximates straight-line over the lease term and was recorded as a component of selling, general and administrative expense on the condensed consolidated statement of operations. As of June 30, 2019, the Company had a weighted-average remaining lease term of 5.4 years and a weighted-average discount rate used to calculate the lease liability of 4.42%.

The current balance of the right of return assets is the estimated amount of inventory to be returned that is expected to be resold. The current balance of refund liabilities is the expected amount of estimated sales returns, discounts and other credits from sales that have occurred. The current balance of warranty liabilities is the expected amount of warranty claim returns from sales that have occurred. The current balance of contract liabilities primarily relates to the advance consideration received from customers for products for which transfer of control has not yet occurred and therefore, revenue is deferred and will be recognized when the transfer of control has been completed.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, revenue recognized that was included in the contract liability balance as of December 31, 2018, was $25 and $36, respectively.
The following summarizes the activities in the Company’s warranty liabilities for the six months ended June 30, 2019:

(3) ACQUISITIONS
Acquisition of HALO
On January 3, 2019, (the “HALO Acquisition Date”), ZAGG Hampton LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a membership interest purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Halo2Cloud, LLC (“HALO”) and its equity owners to acquire all of the outstanding equity interests of HALO (the “HALO Acquisition”). HALO is a leading direct-to-consumer mobile accessories company with an extensive intellectual property portfolio that specializes in wireless charging, car and wall chargers, portable power, and other accessories. The Company acquired HALO to expand its product and intellectual property portfolio, and to enter into new distribution channels.
The total purchase consideration for the HALO Acquisition was $23,943 in cash, 1,458 shares of the Company’s common stock valued at $12,968, and contingent consideration estimated at $1,593 (the “HALO Earnout Consideration”). The initial purchase price was subject to adjustment within 90 days of the HALO Acquisition Date based upon the final determination of HALO’s (i) working capital, (ii) indebtedness, and (iii) transaction expenses as set forth in the Purchase Agreement.
As agreed in the Purchase Agreement, the Company retained $2,424 from the cash due to the sellers and will hold this amount for 18 months following the HALO Acquisition Date as security for HALO’s indemnification obligations. The $2,424 retained by the Company that is due HALO is recorded in other long-term liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
HALO is also entitled to the HALO Earnout Consideration from the Company if HALO achieves the target Adjusted EBITDA set forth in the Purchase Agreement for the year ending December 31, 2019. If, however, HALO’s actual Adjusted EBITDA is less than the target Adjusted EBITDA for the year ending December 31, 2019, the HALO Earnout Consideration will be reduced by the difference between the actual Adjusted EBITDA and the target Adjusted EBITDA.

The total purchase price of $38,504 has been allocated to identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their preliminary fair values. The excess of the purchase price over the preliminary fair value of the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed is recorded as goodwill.
The following table summarizes the preliminary estimates of the fair values of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the HALO Acquisition Date. The preliminary estimates of the fair value of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed are based on estimates and assumptions and are subject to revisions, which may result in adjustments to the preliminary values presented below, when management’s estimates are finalized:

The Company is still finalizing the fair value measurements of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, and therefore, the Company’s fair value estimates for the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are preliminary and may change during the allowable measurement period. The allowable measurement period continues to the date the Company obtains and analyzes all relevant information that existed as of the HALO Acquisition Date necessary to determine the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, but in no case is to exceed more than one year from the HALO Acquisition Date. The Company is analyzing information to verify assets acquired and liabilities assumed.
Identifiable Intangible Assets
Classes of acquired intangible assets include technologies, trade names, and customer relationships. The fair value of the identifiable intangible assets was determined using the income valuation method. 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 preliminary amounts assigned to each class of intangible asset and the related weighted average amortization periods are as follows:

Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the HALO purchase price over the preliminary fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The Company believes that the primary factors supporting the amount of goodwill recognized are the significant growth opportunities and expected synergies of the combined entity.
Acquisition Costs
As part of the HALO Acquisition, the Company incurred legal, accounting, and other due diligence fees that were expensed when incurred. Total fees incurred related to the HALO Acquisition for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 was $36 and $283, respectively, which were included as a component of operating expenses on the consolidated statements of operations.
Results of Operations
The results of operations of HALO were included in the Company’s results of operations beginning on January 4, 2019. For HALO’s results of operations from January 4, 2019 through June 30, 2019, HALO generated net sales of $5,198 and had a net loss before tax of $3,761.
Acquisition of Gear4
On November 30, 2018, Patriot Corporation Unlimited Company, an entity registered and incorporated in Ireland and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a share purchase agreement with STRAX Holding GmbH, an entity registered and incorporated in Germany (“STRAX”), and Gear4 HK Limited, an entity registered and incorporated in Hong Kong and a wholly-owned subsidiary of STRAX (“Gear4”), to acquire from STRAX all of the issued and outstanding equity securities of Gear4 (the “Gear4 Acquisition”).
Pro Forma Results of Operations for HALO and Gear4
The following pro-forma results of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2018, and for the six months ended June 30, 2019, and 2018, give pro forma effect as if the acquisitions of HALO and Gear4
and the related borrowings used to finance the acquisition
had occurred on January 1, 2018, after giving effect to certain adjustments including the amortization of intangible assets, interest expense, tax adjustments, specific transaction related expenses incurred prior to the execution date, and assumes the purchase price was allocated to the assets purchased and liabilities assumed based on their fair market values at the date of purchase.

(6) 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's effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, was 13% and 20%, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, was 23% and 15%, respectively.
The change in the effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2019, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2018, was primarily due to the impact of a discrete item for restricted stock unit awards
relative to pre-tax book income for the period
. The change in the effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2018, was due to several factors including but not limited to a difference in the amount of the discrete item for restricted
stock unit awards, as well as an increase in the amounts disallowed under §162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Company’s effective tax rate will generally differ from the U.S. Federal statutory rate of 21%, due to state taxes, permanent items including amounts disallowed under §162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, the Company’s global tax strategy, and the inclusion of global intangible low taxed income and the corresponding foreign tax credit.
(7) STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

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 643 and 278 restricted stock units granted during the six months ended June 30, 2019, and 2018, the Company granted 287 and 167 restricted stock units 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, and/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. The following are stock-based compensation expenses related to restricted stock units recorded for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, and 2018, which are included as a component of selling, general, and administrative expense on the condensed consolidated statement of operations:

During the six months ended June 30, 2019, and 2018, certain Company 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 $848 and $2,631 reflected as a reduction of additional paid-in capital, respectively. Of the $848 recorded as a reduction of additional paid-in capital, $66 was included in accrued wages and wage related expenses as of June 30, 2019.
(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.
The following is a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used to calculate basic earnings (loss) per common share and diluted earnings (loss) per common share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, and 2018:

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, 966 restricted stock units were not considered in calculating diluted loss per share because the Company was in a loss position and, therefore, the effect would have been anti-dilutive.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, 114 restricted stock units used to purchase shares of common stock were not considered in calculating diluted earnings per share as their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

On December 15, 2017, ZAGG and mophie filed the Anker Lawsuit alleging that Anker Technology Co. Ltd. (“Anker”) and Fantasia Trading LLC (“Fantasia”) infringe U.S. Patent Nos. 8,971,039, 9,077,013, 9,088,028, 9,088,029, 9,172,070, and 9,406,913 in connection with protective battery cases for smartphones. The Anker products accused of infringement include Anker’s Ultra Slim Extended Battery Case for iPhone® 6 / 6s (4.7 inch) with 2850mAh capacity; Premium Extended Battery Case for iPhone 6 / 6s (4.7 inch) with 3100mAh Capacity; PowerCore Case for iPhone 7 (4.7 inch), 80% Extra Battery; PowerCore Case for iPhone 7 (4.7 inch), 95% Extra Battery; and 2400mAh MFI Certified Rubber-Feel Premium Rechargeable Extended Battery Case for iPhone 5s, 5. The complaint filed by ZAGG and mophie seeks monetary damages and an injunction against Anker. On March 12, 2018, Anker and Fantasia filed answers and counterclaims in the lawsuit. In their answers, Anker and Fantasia denied infringement of any valid claim and asserted counterclaims for non-infringement and invalidity of the patents at issue. The parties have reached a confidential settlement, and Anker and Fantasia have ceased sales of the battery cases accused of infringement. The Anker Lawsuit was dismissed in June 2019.
Best Case and Accessories, Inc. v. Zagg, Inc. United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York, Case No. 1:18-CV-04048-LDH-RML
. On July 13, 2018, Best Case and Accessories, Inc. filed a complaint against the Company. The Company had previously sent a letter to Best Case and Accessories, Inc. alleging that it was using product packaging and display trade dress that is confusingly similar to the Company's trade dress. In the complaint, Best Case and Accessories, Inc. alleges that it does not infringe the Company's trade dress and that the Company tortuously interfered with Best Case and Accessories, Inc.'s business relationships, which the Company disputes. On February 8, 2019, the Company filed a Complaint for trade dress infringement against Best Case and Accessories, Inc. in the United States District Court for the District of Utah, Case No. 2:19-CV-00090-PMW, in order to respond to the allegations and defend against the claims. This matter is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or liquidity.
Dan Dolar, an individual and on behalf of those similarly situated, Plaintiff, v. Mophie Inc., a California corporation, Defendant, Superior Court of the State of California, Orange County, Case No. 30-2019-01066228-CU-BT-CXC

(“mophie”) alleging, among other things, violation of California Consumers Legal Remedies Act, California False Advertising Law, breach of express warranty, violation of the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, violation of California Unfair Competition Law, and violation of state Consumer Protection Statutes. The complaint alleged that mophie mischaracterizes the mAh ratings of the batteries in its products, and asked the court to certify a class of Californians who purchased mophie battery-enabled products. On June 14, 2019, the court dismissed the complaint without prejudice at Dolar’s request so that Dolar’s claims could be pursued in the United States District Court in the case of
Young v. Mophie Inc.
, Case No. 8:19-cv-00827-JVS-DFM, discussed below.
Michael Young and Dan Dolar, individually and on behalf of other similarly situated individuals, Plaintiff, v. Mophie Inc., Defendant, United States District Court, Central District of California
, Case No. 8:19-cv-00827-JVS-DFM. This action started with a complaint filed by Young against mophie inc. (“mophie”) on May 2, 2019. On June 13, 2019, Young and Dolar joined together as plaintiffs and filed a first amended complaint (the “FAC”).

Young and Dolar seek to certify a class of consumer nationwide and in various states who purchased mophie battery-enabled products. The FAC does not specify an amount of damages claimed, but alleges that damages will be in excess of $5,000. On July 11, 2019, mophie filed a motion to dismiss all of the claims asserted in the action. mophie denies that it has engaged in the alleged practices and intends to vigorously defend the lawsuit.
SEC Investigation
The Company previously disclosed an investigation by the SEC related to facts and circumstances surrounding former Chief Executive Officer Robert Pedersen’s pledge and subsequent sale of Company shares and the fact that such pledges and sales were not disclosed in the Company’s 2011 10-K filed on March 15, 2012, or 2012 Proxy filed on April 27, 2012. On March 7, 2019, the Staff of the SEC informed the Company that, after additional consideration and analysis, it has decided to terminate the investigation and dismiss the matter.
Other Litigation
The Company is not a party to any other material litigation or claims at this time. While the Company currently believes that the amount of any ultimate probable loss for known matters would not be material to the Company’s financial condition, the outcome of these actions is inherently difficult to predict. In the event of an adverse outcome, the ultimate potential loss could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations in a particular period.
The Company records a liability when a particular contingency is probable and estimable. The Company has not accrued for any losses in the condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2019, due to the fact that either the losses are immaterial or the losses are not considered probable or estimable. The Company faces contingencies that are reasonably possible to occur; however, the reasonably possible exposure to losses cannot currently be estimated.
(11) CONCENTRATIONS
Concentration of credit risk
Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and accounts receivable. The Company places its cash with high credit quality financial institutions. The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts, which customarily exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in cash accounts for the six months ended June 30, 2019, and 2018.
As of June 30, 2019, and December 31, 2018, three and two separate customers were equal to or exceeded 10% of the balance of accounts receivable, respectively, as follows:

The Company established a direct sales relationship with Verizon during the second half of 2018. Previous to the Company's direct sales relationship with Verizon, Verizon purchased the Company's products through Superior. No other customer account balances were more than 10% of accounts receivable as of June 30, 2019, and December 31, 2018. If one or more of the Company’s significant customers were to become insolvent or were otherwise unable to pay for the products provided, it would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.
Concentration of net sales
For the three months ended June 30, 2019, Verizon accounted for over 10% of net sales, and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, Superior and Best Buy accounted for over 10% of net sales, as follows:

Although the Company has contracts in place governing the relationships with its retail distribution customers (“retailers”), the contracts are not long-term and all the retailers generally purchase from the Company on a purchase order basis. As a result, these retailers generally may, with little or no notice or penalty, cease ordering and selling the Company’s products, or materially reduce their orders. If any of these retailers cease selling the Company’s products, slow their rate of purchase of its products, or decrease the number of products they purchase, the Company’s results of operations could be adversely affected.
